Simple time change method and device during manual cooking of microwave oven

The present invention relates to a method, a device, and a device for changing a simple time during a manual cooking process of a microwave oven, and more particularly, to manually select a desired time by operating a knob by setting a simple time mode during a cooking operation after adjusting a time for manual cooking. The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for changing a simple time during manual cooking of a microwave oven.

In general, the microwave oven is a kitchen appliance that cooks food by cooking the high frequency emitted from the magnetron. When the user selects the cooking time and the output of the high frequency, the microwave output level is controlled during the cooking time to cook.

1 is a view showing a cooking sequence 10 of a microwave oven according to the prior art.

In cooking in a conventional microwave oven, the step of putting food in the cavity (11), the step of selecting a manual cooking function (12), the step of setting the cooking time by operating the knob or pressing the setting button on the membrane keyboard (14), the step of starting cooking by pressing the button to start cooking (15), the step of operating until the end of cooking in the microwave (16), especially cooking after the end of cooking (16) Adjusting time 17 is added if necessary.

However, as described above, in the cooking time adjusting step 17, the user cannot increase the cooking time during the cooking process, whether to select a simple key for which the cooking time for each food is set or to set the time with a knob or a membrane keyboard. There is a problem that is cumbersome.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to set a simple time mode during cooking after adjusting time for manual cooking, and to operate a knob to select a desired time arbitrarily. The present invention provides a method and apparatus for changing a simple time during a manual cooking process.

In the object of the present invention, in the cooking time adjustment method of the microwave oven comprising the steps of putting the food in the cavity, manual cooking function selection step, cooking time setting step, cooking start step, cooking end step, the cooking This can be achieved by starting the easy cooking key selection step from the start step, adjusting the cooking time by the knob operation, and reaching the end of cooking step.

In addition, the present invention can be achieved by consisting of a simple cooking / operation keys and knobs on the operation unit located on the lower side of the control panel of the microwave oven to perform the above method.

1 is a view showing a procedure of cooking in a microwave oven according to the prior art,

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method and apparatus for changing a simple time during manual cooking of a microwave oven according to an embodiment of the present invention;

3 is a view illustrating a microwave oven having a changing device for performing a method and apparatus for changing a simple time during a manual cooking process of the microwave oven of FIG. 2;

37: Easy Cooking / Operation Key 38: Knob

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings as a preferred embodiment capable of effectively achieving the object of the present invention.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method and apparatus for changing a simple time during manual cooking of a microwave oven according to an embodiment of the present invention.

According to this embodiment, the step of putting the food into the cavity 20 and the manual cooking function selection step 21, cooking time setting step 22, cooking start step 24, cooking end step 27 , If it is necessary to adjust the cooking time during cooking, the simple cooking key selection step (25) to select a function to adjust the cooking time in the cooking start step (24), the step of adjusting the cooking time by the knob operation (26) Followed by the procedure of cooking termination step 27.

3 is a view illustrating a microwave oven 30 having a changing device for performing a simple time changing method during the manual cooking process of the microwave oven according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The microwave oven 30 has a cavity 32 into which food can be placed on the left side as is known, and a control panel 31 on the right side. The control panel 31 has a display unit 34 on the upper side and an operation unit 36 on the lower side thereof, and the operation unit 36 includes a simple cooking / operation key 37 and a knob 38. With a device.

The simple cooking / operation key 37 is to be changed by increasing or decreasing the cooking time after the start of cooking, and may be located anywhere on the control panel 31, but the present embodiment illustrates a case of a knob type. One is surrounded by knob 38.

Accordingly, after selecting the simple cooking / operation key 37, the external knob 28 is rotated to change the cooking time.

4 is a flowchart of performing a cooking time adjusting step of FIG. 2.

First, put the food into the cavity of the microwave oven in the easy cooking key selection step (25) and select the manual cooking function mode to determine whether it is in the manual cooking process, and if it is in manual cooking (YES in step 100), the easy cooking / start key It is determined whether or not is entered (step 110). If it is determined as "yes", the process proceeds to the simple time mode (step 120) and enters the next step. On the other hand, if "NO" is found in step 100, it is checked whether or not it is paused (step 170). If "YES" is determined, it is checked once again that it is in manual cooking (step 180). If not in manual cooking, exit as is.

If the knob is rotated in the cooking time adjustment step 26 of the knob operation (YES in step 140), the current cooking time is reduced (step 150), and the counting time of the currently set cooking time is down (step 160). .

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 140 that NO is checked, it is checked whether the knob is turned to the right (YES in step 190), and the routine for increasing the current cooking time is performed (step 200), and the loop for counting down the cooking time is performed. . If the knob is not turned to the right, it is terminated.

As described above, the method and apparatus for changing the simple time during the manual cooking process of the microwave oven according to the present invention by setting the simple time mode during the cooking operation after adjusting the time for manual cooking so that the desired time can be arbitrarily selected. It is effective to make the best cooking.
