Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a bar code recognition type cooking apparatus having a water purifier,

The present invention relates to a bar code recognition type cooking apparatus, and more particularly, to a bar code recognition type cooking apparatus which automatically sets cooking information recorded in the bar code by reading a bar code printed on the cooking object, So that it can be cooked to a barcode recognition type cooking device.

Generally speaking, in the cooking method of a cooked object such as a tteokbokki, an adequate amount of water is put into the container, the container is heated by a heating means to boil the water, and then the object to be cooked is charged. However, this type of instant food appeared inconvenient because it was inconvenient to use, and thanks to the spread of convenience stores, it was easy to cook and eat in a short time.

However, instant food such as instant noodle soup and instant rice toppokki has a problem of giving flavor different from that of ordinary ramen or tteokbokki. However, due to time limit, restriction of place, restriction of cooking tools, convenience foods such as ramen and tteokbokki It was not easy to cook and eat.

In view of such a consumer's taste, in recent years, an instant ramen dish cooker capable of instantly cooking ordinary ramen as a cup ramen has been developed. As an example of such instant ramen ramen cooker, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2009-0052707 (2009.05. 26 is provided with a hot water tank in which a heater is mounted so as to heat and maintain water to be replenished from a water bottle at a predetermined temperature, a metal cooking vessel for containing ram noodles and soup, a cooking heater for heating the cooking vessel, A central processing unit for controlling the operation of a water supply valve installed in a duct of a hot water tank, a cooking heater and a cooking vessel detection switch, a nozzle for supplying water to the cooking vessel, And a data display unit operable to display and operate the operation and cooking process of the cooking utensil, A door having a rear view window is disposed on the front side and a data display section is disposed below the open portion of the door so that the angle of inclination is 30 to 50 degrees larger than the horizontal state for easy identification and operation, The upper portion of the heater includes a shelf in which a cooking container insertion groove is stably positioned by both the support rods and the magnet on the rear surface. An air inflow hole is formed in the side wall of the housing, a vent hole is formed in the rear wall of the housing, A fan motor for discharging water vapor generated during cooking to an exhaust port connected to the outside is mounted on the rear side of the exhaust hole and a water tray having a hose for collecting and discharging soup etc. flowing over from the cooking container to the lower portion of the cooking heater, And when the cooking container sensing switch senses input of the cooking container, the central processing unit The cooking heater is heated by the operation of the operation and start of cooking of the data display section, and at the same time, 80% to 90% of hot water is firstly supplied to the cooking vessel, and the remaining 10% to 20% And when the steam is generated in the cooking process, the fan motor is operated to discharge the steam to the outside, and a buzzer for generating an operation sound, an alarm sound, and an end notification sound of the data display unit And a frequency band for preventing access to rodents and pests is oscillated at the same time during operation.

In recent years, cooking information recorded in the bar code is automatically set by reading a bar code printed on a cooking object, so that the bar code recognition type cooking device is developed so that the cooking object can be conveniently and quickly cooked in an optimal cooking condition , An example of such a barcode recognition type cooking apparatus is disclosed in Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2005-0011668 (published on Jan. 29, 2005), a barcode reader for reading a barcode set storing basic cooking information, A cooking information calculation unit for analyzing the basic cooking information according to the analysis rule and calculating a final cooking condition using the analyzed basic cooking information, A control unit for controlling the devices to perform the cooking according to the final cooking conditions calculated by the control unit The cooking apparatus using a bar code is disclosed.

Also, Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2007-0005808 (published on October 10, 2007) discloses a cooking device for cooking cooking objects using cooking information, comprising a memory for storing cooking object identification information and cooking information of a cooking object An image capture device provided in the cooking device to acquire an image of the object to be cooked, an image capture device for comparing the image of the object with cooking object identification information stored in a memory to identify the object to be cooked, And controlling the cooking to be performed in accordance with the obtained cooking information.

However, in the case of the conventional bar code recognition type cooking apparatus, there is no separate water purification means inside and a separate water purifier must be additionally provided to the outside, or a water purification bottle must be separately combined so as to provide purified water only And a general water purifier function can not be provided at the same time.
