Description

Repeated cooking apparatus and method of microwave

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a microwave oven, and more particularly, to a repeat cooking apparatus and method for a microwave oven suitable for repeating a cooking operation of a desired microwave oven by a single key operation.

In general, the microwave oven operates the plurality of keys provided in the operation unit sequentially, and cooks food by driving each component of the microwave oven according to the cooking set value by the operated key signal.

On the other hand, cooking food using a microwave oven requires several steps of key manipulation.

On the other hand, when the user divides the same large amount of food into several times, the user may experience the trouble of repeating the same key operation in several steps.

Therefore, in response to the consumer's desire to perform the repetitive cooking function with only one key operation instead of the key operation separated by the various steps of the present invention, the user can repeatedly cook the desired cooking operation with one key operation. An object of the present invention is to provide a method and method for cooking microwave protective equipment which can be carried out with a microwave oven.

According to the thermal viewpoint for achieving the above object, an operation unit for converting the key operation from the outside into a key signal of the electrical form corresponding thereto, a cooking unit for performing a cooking operation according to the input control signal, the key operation of the operation unit It is configured as a microcomputer that stores the cooking setting data input through the predetermined storage means, and provides a control signal corresponding to the cooking setting data stored in the storage means to the cooking unit when there is an input to a key signal for repeated cooking. There is provided a repeating cooking apparatus of a microwave oven.

According to another aspect for achieving the above object, an operation unit for converting the key operation from the outside into a key signal of an electrical form corresponding to it, a memory unit for storing data, and cooking input through the key operation of the operation unit A microwave oven comprising a control unit for performing a cooking operation by controlling each component of a microwave oven according to setting data, the first step of storing the cooking setting data in the memory unit, and a key for repeated cooking from the operation unit. When the signal is input, there is provided a repeating cooking control method of a microwave oven, characterized in that performing a second step of performing a cooking operation according to the cooking setting data stored in the memory unit.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings it will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of a repeating cooking apparatus and method of a microwave oven according to the present invention.

1 is a schematic block diagram of an iterative cooking apparatus according to the present invention, which is composed of a plurality of keys, and outputs an electric form of a key signal corresponding to a key operation, and an input control signal. To store cooking setting data corresponding to the key signals of the cooking unit 20 and the operation unit 10 that perform the cooking operation, and to output a memory 30 and time information in which predetermined reference time data is stored. A timer 40 that performs counting, and a microcomputer (hereinafter, abbreviated as "microcom") 50 for controlling each of the components are configured.

On the other hand, the cooking setting data includes the overall cooking operation such as cooking time, cooking mode (for example, cooking mode or thawing mode, 'warming' mode, frozen food mode, etc.), cooking method (automatic cooking or manual cooking). The set value for is recorded.

FIG. 2 is a schematic view of the operation unit shown in FIG. 1, and as can be seen from the same drawing, the operation unit 10 includes a plurality of operation keys, and the 'repeat' key A for repeated cooking is the operation unit 10. Was laid at the bottom.

An operation example of the present invention having the configuration as described above will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

In the initial state, the microcomputer 50 stores cooking setting data corresponding to the key signal input through the key operation of the operation unit 10 in the memory 30 (S1). The microcomputer 50 repeatedly determines whether cooking is finished (S2).

When it is determined that cooking is finished in the above step S2, the microcomputer 50 resets the timer 40 to start counting (S3). The microcomputer 50 detects predetermined reference time data (for example, 3 minutes) in the memory 30 (S4).

The microcomputer 50 detects the counted time from the timer 40 (S5), and determines whether the counted time is 'under' the reference time (S6).

If the determination result of the step (S6) is "Yes", the microcomputer 50 determines whether there is a key signal input by the operation of the 'repeat' key (A) (S7). If the determination result of step S7 is 'no', the microcomputer 50 proceeds to step S5 of detecting the counted time from the timer 40.

If the determination result of step S7 is YES, the microcomputer 50 detects the cooking setting data stored in the memory 30 and performs the cooking operation according to the cooking setting data (S8).

After that, the microcomputer 50 ends the above-described control process.

However, when the determination result of step S6 is no, that is, when the counted time is greater than or equal to the reference time, the microcomputer 50 clears the memory 30 to clear the memory. The cooking setting data stored in 30 is deleted (S9). Thus, even when the 'repeat' key A is operated, the repeat cooking function is not performed due to the absence of data for repeat cooking.

After that, the microcomputer 50 ends the above-described control process.

As described above, according to the repeated cooking apparatus and method of the present invention, since the user repeatedly performs a desired cooking operation with a single key operation, the key operation for the repeated cooking is simplified.
