Description

Automatic cooker {AUTOMATIC COOKER}

The present invention relates to an automatic cooker, and more particularly, to an automatic cooker capable of providing convenience and efficiency of food cooking by automatically supplying and cooking ingredients required for food cooking at a specified time.

In cooking, various cooking utensils such as grinders, blenders and ovens are used for processing and cooking various food ingredients (hereinafter, referred to as food ingredients).

In one example, the grinder provides a function of cutting or pulverizing the food, and the mixer provides a use and function of crushing and mixing the food. In addition, a mixer equipped with a heating device provides a function of heating food ingredients together with pulverization so that each cooking utensil can be used for various purposes and purposes to prepare various foods. As such, cooking utensils have evolved into products with various functions and conveniences to enable easy and quick cooking of foods according to the type and purpose of cooking at home. However, time and space are required for processing and processing of food ingredients for cooking. It is difficult to satisfy the efficiency of the cooking utensils because there are many restrictions.

In other words, various food ingredients are used for food cooking, and these food ingredients are usually cooked by heating and mixing with time difference according to the nature, form, etc. of food ingredients without heating all at once.

For example, the dead main material is finely pulverized, heated and boiled for a predetermined time, and then the main material is cooked sufficiently.

In this cooking process, after a certain time has elapsed in the process of heating and boiling the main ingredients, the subsidiary materials are added.In order to add the subsidiary materials at an appropriate time, if the chef does not pay enough attention such as continuously checking the time, It is difficult to add the subsidiary material and cook it accordingly.

Also, in the process of making various teas, the ingredients are added to the tea for a certain period of time and then boiled and then added to certain ingredients in order to add the taste and aroma of the tea. In order to add a subsidiary material, it is troublesome to check the time from time to time.

In order to solve the problem, a method of using a timer for notifying a sound through a predetermined time is most commonly used. The timer informs the chef that a certain time has elapsed, so that a proper time for cooking action such as the input of the material or mixing has been reached by an alarm sound or the like, so that the next cooking order is performed without forgetting the next cooking order.

However, the use of a timer is not only cumbersome in itself, but also has inconvenience in that the timer must be set every time in the cooking process.

On the other hand, an automatic cooker for automatic cooking is published in Ref. 1, which is composed of a distribution structure capable of storing various raw materials required by a cooking container and an assembly method, and the distribution structure is a programmed device. At the time of order, various ingredients are dispensed into the cooker and the temperature of the heater is adjusted according to the instructions of the program according to the recipe.

Reference 2 automatically controls the time required in the cooking device and the corresponding temperature and pressure for the ingredients to be cooked to best taste the specific dish, simply by pressing a specific button for cooking a particular dish. The electric cooker is shown as possible.

Reference 3 discloses a cooker with a grind control function to control the grind level by controlling the circulation of materials in the manufacturing process of soy milk or tofu.
