Description

Cooking Appliance and Cooking Logic Auto Generating Method the Same}

The present invention relates to a cooking appliance, and more particularly, to a cooking appliance and a method for automatically generating the cooking logic thereof.

In general, there are a variety of products, such as gas oven, electric oven, microwave oven, and cooking appliances that are used almost at home may include a microwave oven.

Microwave oven is equipped with a magnetron only or a device for cooking food using a magnetron and a heater, a conventional microwave oven, for example, thawing, sterilization, frozen dumplings, such as the logic according to a specific food or cooking method is made in advance in the product Is released.

On the other hand, in the case of food, even if the same type (for example, the water content) is different because the change of cooking logic is required, since the taste is different for each user, the cooking level desired by each user is also different.

In addition, even if there is a difference in product capacity, the logic applied may be the same.

Therefore, the microwave oven according to the related art does not satisfy the logic change and the user's requirement level considering the state of the object to be cooked because the logic is determined for a particular food or a specific cooking method, and there is a problem that the deviation of cooking occurs according to the product characteristics. have.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, by assigning a code by dividing the type of the cooking object, automatically considering the cooking logic of the current cooking object in consideration of user adjustment, set characteristics and deviations between the cooking object. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cooking apparatus and an automatic method for automatically generating the cooking logic, which are generated to enable optimal cooking.

In the cooking apparatus according to the present invention, a user inputs a food code and a key input unit for adjusting a cooking time, a cooking-related load including a heater or a magnetron, a display unit for displaying cooking-related contents such as a cooking time adjustment state and a cooking state of the user. Read the standard cooking logic corresponding to the user's code input from the cooking logic table for each code, and apply cooking according to the cooking logic generated by applying the device deviation compensation value and the user cooking time adjustment value for each code to the standard cooking logic. And a control unit for controlling the load related to cooking.

In the cooking logic automatic generation method of the cooking apparatus according to the present invention, food is classified by type and given codes, and the appropriate power level and cooking time are calculated by experimenting with each food code to generate a cooking logic table for each code and the device In the step of storing in the test sample, the cooking logic for each code is applied to the reference sample device and the devices of different models in the same manner, and the device deviation compensation value for each code is calculated for each device so that there is no difference in the result value. Storing the cooking logic table for each code and reading a cooking logic corresponding to the code from the cooking logic table for each code when the user selects a specific code through a device in which the cooking logic table for each code and the device deviation compensation value for each code are stored; And generating a new cooking logic by applying the device deviation compensation value for each code to the read cooking logic. Characterized in that it comprises a step.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the cooking appliance according to the present invention and a method for automatically generating the cooking logic as follows.

1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a cooking appliance according to the present invention, Figure 2 is a flow chart illustrating a method for automatically generating a cooking logic of the cooking appliance according to the invention, Figure 3 is a cooking logic for each cooking object code according to Figure 2 The figure illustrates a table.

In the cooking apparatus according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. A key input unit 10 having a key (not shown), various cooking-related loads, that is, a heater 21 and a magnetron 22 for cooking food, a fan 23 for convection of cooled or heated air, and the load Read the standard cooking logic corresponding to the user's code input from the drive unit 30 for driving the display unit, the display unit 50 for displaying the cooking-related content, such as the cooking time adjustment state, the cooking state of the user, the cooking logic table for each code, The cooking-related load is controlled to perform cooking according to the cooking logic generated by applying the device deviation compensation value and the user cooking time adjustment value for each code to the standard cooking logic, and the cooking-related contents display accordingly. Is controlled such that the configuration including the control section 40 for controlling the display section 50.

In this case, the cooking logic table for each code and related information may be stored using a memory of the controller 40 itself, or may be stored in a separate memory unit.

The key input unit 10 and the display unit 50 are installed on an operation panel (not shown) of one side of the cooking apparatus.

A method for automatically generating cooking logic of a cooking appliance according to the present invention configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

First, the user can select automatic cooking or manual cooking.

That is, in the case of automatic cooking, when the start is pressed without a separate key input, cooking is performed at a preset output for a preset time (for example, 30 seconds).

Meanwhile, in the case of manual cooking, a code input is required so that the food to be cooked can be recognized by the cooking apparatus.

Therefore, the user presses the cooking setting key of the key input unit 10 and then inputs the code of the desired food using the numeric keys 11.

In this case, the food code displays a food code through the display unit 50 or allows a user to know by using a separate manual.

Therefore, the control unit 40 determines whether a code is input through the key input unit 10 (S21), and if a code is input, reads the standard cooking logic of the food type corresponding to the code from the cooking logic table for each code (S22). .

At this time, the cooking logic table for each code shown in FIG. 3 is an embodiment according to the present invention. The types of food are classified into five types (0, 1, 2, 3, and 4), and the food type '0 is divided for each type. 2 ~ 5 digits (decimal unit) codes are assigned to ~ 4 ', and the appropriate power level and cooking time are determined by conducting experiments according to the food type of each code, and subdivided into food type' 0 ' A part of the cooking logic table for each code is shown.

In this case, food types are classified based on water content, '0' means dry food (for example, popcorn), '1' means normal (for example, vegetables), and '2' means water type (for example, For example, drinking water and milk), '3' is food with high moisture content (eg, soup), and '4' is frozen food.

In FIG. 3, PL denotes a power level, CT denotes a cook time, FT denotes a food type, and Int denotes an interrupt generation interval.

In addition, as can be seen in Figure 3, the cooking stage is a total of four stages, that is, the first stage (PL0, CT0), the second stage (PL1, CT1), the three stages (PL2, CT2), four stages (PL3, CT3) Can be configured.

For example, referring to the case where the code is '10', cooking is performed in two stages.

First, set the power level to 10 (the highest power of 1 to 10 levels) and cooking time to 66 seconds, and set the power level to 0 (power off state and latent heat) and set the cooking time to 15 seconds. As cooking proceeds, no interrupt is generated.

In this case, the interrupt is applied to a case where an operation such as flipping or stirring food is required during cooking. Therefore, if the interrupt is '0', there is no separate interrupt. If it is '1', after the step 1, the cooking operation is stopped and the guide message is transmitted through the display unit 50 to stop the cooking operation and perform the corresponding interrupt operation (food flip). To print (for example, "turn it over").

Subsequently, the controller 40 generates the cooking logic by applying the device deviation compensation value and the pre-stored user adjustment value for each code to the standard cooking logic read in the step S22 (S23).

In this case, the device deviation compensation value for each code is cooked even if the same cooking logic is applied to the same food because of the difference in the output level of the product for each cooker or the space where cooking is performed, that is, the size of the cavity. Is a value applied to compensate for this.

In addition, this value is obtained by performing a cooking experiment by applying the same cooking logic to the same food for each device, and obtaining coefficients such that the experimental results of the other devices can be equal to the reference device based on one of the devices.

For example, cooker F is a reference sample for food of type 'X', and cooking is performed using the same cooking logic for cooker F 'of a different model. , For the F 'device, the result is assumed to be X * b.

In this case, since the target device for generating the cooking logic table for each code is the cooking device F, the result value (X * b) of the F 'device to be compared does not differ from the result value (X * a) of the F device. Multiply the result of the F 'device by b / a, so in the end, apply b / a to the F' device as the device deviation compensation.

Therefore, by calculating and applying a device deviation compensation value for each code in the above-described manner for all the cooking appliances, the cooking performance of all the cooking appliances is maintained at a uniform level.

In addition, since the user's adjustment value may be different for each user, the user menu is configured to adjust the cooking time, and accordingly, the user adjusts the stored value and compensates the cooking logic during actual cooking.

And the actual food cooking is performed in the cooking logic generated in the step (S23) (S24).

On the other hand, the present invention provides a menu that allows the user to adjust the cooking time, as described above of the key input unit 10, which may be provided by pressing a separate key on the key input unit 10 to provide a menu. In addition, the menu may be provided by pressing the above-described cooking setting key twice.

At this time, the cooking time adjustment menu is displayed through the display unit 50, and the adjustment step is, for example, 1 (less), 2 (normal), 3 (more), 4 (more), 5 (very much). Etc., and the cooking time is added / decreased in each time unit (eg, 10 seconds).

Therefore, the control unit 40 determines whether the cooking time user adjustment is made through the cooking time adjustment menu described above (S25), and when the cooking time user adjustment is made, stores the corresponding user adjustment value (S26) and returns to the initial stage. .

At this time, the stored user adjustment value is applied when the cooking logic is generated in step S23.

According to the present invention, an optimum cooking is made because the code is classified by the type of the object to be cooked and the cooking logic is automatically generated to perform the cooking of the current object to be cooked in consideration of user adjustment, set characteristics, and deviations between the objects to be cooked. There is an effect that can maintain the cooking performance of the device to which the invention is applied uniformly.
