Microwave Cooking Input Device

The present invention is a cooking input device of a microwave oven, when a user inputs a desired cooking name by rotating a rotary button, the cooking time is automatically set at the same time as the cooking name and the food cooking command can be simply inputted. Relates to a device.

In general, the microwave oven includes a DC power supply unit 10, a cooking input unit 20, a high frequency generator 30, a display unit 40, and a controller 50 as shown in FIG. 1.

The DC power supply unit 10 converts a commercial AC power supply voltage supplied from an AC power input unit (not shown) into a predetermined DC voltage required for driving the microwave, and outputs the cooking input unit 20 that a user desires. Inputs a cooking function, a cooking menu, a start / stop of a cooking operation, etc., and has a function of selecting automatic cooking or manual cooking by rotating the user left or right as shown in FIG. At the same time, the frozen button is thawed to the desired position in the order of meat, chicken and fish in the order of the dial button 53 which starts / stops the cooking operation by one-touch pressing operation and three-step pressing operation by one-touch operation. By thawing button 55 to defrost the food, a warming button 57 for warming cold food by a pressing operation by a one-touch method, and a pressing operation by a one-touch method. Many cooking input keys are provided, such as a cancel button 59 for canceling a cooking function and a deodorization button 60 for eliminating odor by a pressing operation by a one-touch method.

In addition, the high frequency generator 30 is to generate a high frequency according to the cooking name input from the assembly input unit 20 to heat the food in the cooking chamber 90, the display unit 40 is shown in FIG. The cooking function, the cooking time, and the cooking menu are displayed according to the cooking name input from the assembly input unit 20 as described above, and the cooking function display unit 63 displaying the cooking function and cooking time and the automatic cooking menu are displayed. It consists of an automatic menu display unit 65.

The controller 50 initializes the microwave oven by receiving the DC voltage supplied from the DC power supply unit 10 and controls the overall cooking operation, according to the cooking name input from the cooking input unit 20. A control signal is output to the high frequency generator 30 to heat food in the cooking chamber 90, and a control signal is output to the display unit 40 to display a cooking time and a cooking name.

In the conventional microwave oven configured as described above, when power is supplied to the microwave oven, the commercial AC power supply voltage supplied by the DC power supply unit 10 from an AC power input unit (not shown) is set to a predetermined DC voltage required for driving the microwave oven. After conversion, the controller 50 and each driving circuit are output, and the controller 50 receives the DC voltage output from the DC power supply unit 10 to initialize the microwave oven according to the cooking operation.

At this time, the user puts food in the cooking chamber 90, and presses many cooking input keys such as the dial button 53, the thawing button 55, the warming button 57, the cancel button 59, and the deodorizing button 60. When the user inputs a cooking command desired through the cooking input unit 20, the control unit 50 outputs a control signal to the high frequency generator 30 and the display unit 40 according to the cooking command, and the control signal. The high frequency is generated by the high frequency generator 30 to heat the food in the cooking chamber 90 and simultaneously display the cooking function, the cooking time, and the cooking menu on the display unit 40.

However, such a conventional microwave oven has a complicated cooking input key, and thus many cooking input keys must be input in various operation procedures according to the food cooking desired by the user, so that the user inputs the cooking input key in the user's manual when the cooking command is input. In addition to the hassle of reading the operation sequence, there was a problem that the user can not input the cooking command when the user manual is lost.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and when the user inputs a desired cooking name by rotating the rotary button by simply and reducing the cooking input key, the cooking time according to the cooking name is automatically set at the same time. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cooking input device of a microwave oven that is set to cook food.

In order to achieve the above object, a cooking input device of a microwave oven according to the present invention includes a control unit for controlling a high frequency generator and a display unit according to a cooking command input through a cooking input unit, wherein the cooking input unit is a user. Rotates and inputs a desired cooking name, and a rotation button configured to input a start / stop of a cooking operation by a one-touch pressing operation, and a cooking name configured to input a desired cooking name by pressing operation. The display unit comprises a cooking name display unit for displaying a cooking name input by the user, and a cooking time display unit for displaying a cooking time according to the cooking name. It is characterized in that the cooking name is described on the control panel.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

In FIG. 1, the same components as the conventional components are denoted by the same reference numerals and the same names, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The microwave cooking input device according to the present invention includes a DC power supply unit 10, a cooking input unit 20, a high frequency generator 30, a display unit 40, and a controller 50 as shown in FIG. 1. It consists of

The cooking input unit 20 inputs a cooking name desired by the user and a start / stop of a cooking operation. As shown in FIG. 3, the cooking input unit 20 rotates and inputs a cooking name desired by the user. And a rotation button 70 for inputting a start / stop of a cooking operation, and a cooking name selection button 75 configured to input a cooking name desired by the user as a pressing operation.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, the display unit 40 includes a cooking name display unit 77 displaying a cooking name input from the assembly input unit 20 and a cooking time display unit displaying cooking time according to the cooking name ( 79).

In addition, on the control panel 80, a cooking name that can be input through the cooking input unit 20 (for example, 1 warming (rice, stew, Chinese medicine), 2 thawing (meat, chicken, fish), 3 grilled (meat, Chicken, fish), 4 snacks (popcorn, garlic bread), 5 general cooking (egg steamed, ramen, carrot cake, boiled potatoes) is described.

Hereinafter, the operation and effects of the cooking input device of the microwave oven configured as described above will be described.
