Description

Automatic cooking pot to alarm cooking completion. {Omitted}

The present invention relates to an automatic noodle pan having a function of alarming a user when cooking is completed optimally. Especially, it relates to a pot in which the dish is automatically alarmed in an optimum completion state.

There has been proposed a cooking pot with a conventional timer in which a timer means is constituted in a cooking vessel so that a warning is sounded after a predetermined period of time set manually by a consumer before cooking. However, since the conventional timer-equipped cooking vessel with the timer is installed, it is difficult for the user to determine how long the timer should be set, There is a disadvantage that it is very difficult to generate an alarm sound that notifies the completion of cooking exactly at the time point. Because the total cooking time required until the completion of the cooking depends on the strength of the firepower, the amount of cooking, the amount of water and the type of dish, it is impossible for a consumer to predict the total time taken in advance in a conventional cooking vessel with timer . Therefore, if the time setting of the timer is set too short, the alarm sounds before the cooking is completed. On the contrary, if the time setting is set too long in the timer, the alarm does not sound even when the cooking is completed There were disadvantages.

As another conventional technique for solving the disadvantage of such a conventional cooking vessel with only a timer, Patent No. 070983, which is a prior invention of the applicant, has been proposed. However, the prior art of Patent No. 070983, which is a prior invention of the applicant of the present invention, is composed of a temperature sensor, two timers, an alarm circuit and a steam cooker, which are required to further heat the rice cooker. And a steam cooker for heating the steam boilers using the residual heat of the high-pressure steam for a predetermined time immediately before completion of the cooking. Therefore, it was not suitable for automatic alarm purpose at the time of completion of cooking of ramen which does not require steamers and has soup even when cooking is finished. Ramen is a dish that does not require heating in the courtyard. That is, according to the technique of the above-mentioned patent No. 070983, if the ramen is boiled, the surface of the ramen becomes excessively spread due to the function of the steamers. In addition, there is a disadvantage that the manufacturing cost is increased due to the use of two timers.

As another prior art, Utility Model No. 2019990025578, which is a prior art application of the applicant, has been proposed. This prior art application was constructed by incorporating a manual operation switch and an alarm circuit having a function of starting a timer and a timer in a container handle. In this conventional prior art application (Utility Model No. 2019990025578), after the user visually confirms that the water in the cooking container is boiled, the ramen is put into boiling water, and then the switch is manually operated to start the built-in timer , A boil duration time required from when the water boils to when the ramen is completed is preset in the timer so that the alarm sounds when the time set in the timer elapses. The utility model 2019990025578 of the applicant having the above-mentioned structure has the following disadvantages.

That is, there was an inconvenience in use that the user had to manually operate the switch. In addition, if the user does not operate the switch of the function to start the timer, the user can not inform the user of the completion of cooking even if the timer is over. The above-mentioned applicant's utility model 2019990025578 has a disadvantage in that the user has to wait in the vicinity of the cooking device until the water boils because he instructs the user to insert the ramen only when the water boils.

Another prior art is disclosed in Korean Patent Application No. 101402513 (Publication No. 1020130052508). The prior art patent application No. 101402513 discloses a method of detecting boiling by detecting a surface temperature value of a pot top by using a temperature sensor or installing a temperature sensor at a position where water vapor is emitted to the outside of the upper lid The boiling water is detected by detecting the temperature of the discharged steam to detect boiling, or the temperature sensor is installed below the pot to detect the boiling water temperature in the pot. When the boiling is detected, The timer is set to the timer so that the measured boil duration value is preset in the timer in advance of the menu selected by the menu selection means, and when the set time has elapsed, a signal is sent to the sound generating means side, And was configured to alarm completion. When the temperature sensor for detecting boiling is installed to detect the surface temperature of the upper lid, the size of the thermal power, the amount of cooking, the material of the upper lid The temperature of the surface of the upper lid at the moment when the soup boils is different from each other, so that it is impossible to judge the accurate boiling moment. As another example, when the temperature sensor is installed below the upper lid to detect the steam temperature inside the pot, the material constituting the temperature sensor (for example, the temperature sensor and the coating of the lead wire) directly touches the food There was an unsanitary problem. In another embodiment, when the temperature sensor is installed outside the upper lid and installed at the steam outlet portion to detect the discharged steam temperature to detect boiling, the temperature sensor is exposed to the outside, There is a risk that the temperature sensor may be destroyed and that the temperature of the steam discharged outside the pot can not be accurately detected due to the external wind intensity or external wind temperature that is directed toward the temperature sensor when cooking. That is, in a place where the outside wind strongly blows, the water vapor emitted from the steam discharging hole of the upper lid is not directed to the place where the temperature sensor is located due to the influence of the wind, so that the boiling can not be accurately detected.

In addition, according to the above-mentioned prior Korean Patent Application No. 101402513 (Publication No. 1020130052508), the boiling duration time value measured in each menu (per kind of ramen type) is always constant (2 servings) are cooked with a small firepower (cooking power), the noodles of the ram noodles are blown when the ram noodle is pre-fed at the early stage of the cooking. On the contrary, there is a disadvantage in that a small amount (eg, one serving) of ramen is cooked in a large thermal power (eg, maximum thermal power).

The present invention provides an automatic ramen pot having a function of automatically notifying when the ramen dish is optimally completed. Especially, we propose a method to accurately detect the boiling of broth in a hygienic way. In addition, we propose the position of temperature sensor and the installation structure of temperature sensor for detecting boiling which does not affect the boiling sensation of soup by the amount of cooking and thermal power. The present invention also provides a method for uniformly adjusting the intensity (cooking degree) of the noodles of cooked ramen even if the amount of cooking and the size of the thermal power are changed.

The boiling water temperature sensor 7 is installed in the water vapor chamber 14 provided above the upper cap and having the water vapor inlet V1 and the outlet V2 and the boiling temperature sensor 7 is installed in the water vapor chamber below the upper lid handle , The boiling detection means of the circuit portion judges boiling of the soup material 3 by using the temperature information of the temperature sensor 7, and the "boiling time" from the time when the power is applied to the circuit portion until the boiling is sensed, (The total time value in which the water is immersed in the water until the boiling point) is measured using the timer 1, the duration of the boiling time per menu is measured experimentally in advance and stored in the memory, and the operation of the menu selection means 8 When the menu is selected by the user, the " boiling duration " of the menu selected is evicted from the memory and set in timer 2, and then the measured " boiling time & The time value to be set to the timer 2 is increased or decreased by the time value? T measured in advance experimentally according to the beam, and is reset to the timer unit 2, and then the finally reset time of the timer 2 is elapsed A sound signal is outputted to the sound generating means 16 so that the sound generating means 16 alerts the completion of the cooking.

Since the temperature sensor is installed in the "steam room" (14) provided outside the upper lid, the boiling sensation of the soup (3) can accurately detect the boiling moment without being influenced by the amount of cooking, .

In addition, since the boiling time (? T) is corrected in the "boiling duration" of each menu according to the boiling time required from the start of cooking to the boiling detection, the degree of cooking and the cooking intensity according to the cooking power are almost constant There is an effect that can be.

[Configuration]

A water vapor chamber 14 having a steam inlet V1 and a steam outlet V2 is provided at an upper portion of the upper lid 2 of the pot 1 and an upper lid handle The boiling detection means 10 of the circuit unit 12 is installed between the lower part and the upper lid 2 and the temperature information of the temperature sensor 7 installed in the steam room 14 is used to detect the boiling temperature of the pan 1, The timer 2 outputs a signal indicating that the boiling duration of the experimentally measured and stored menu of the menu selected by the operation of the menu selection means 8 Is drawn out from the memory and set in the timer 2. Then, after the boil-up sensing is performed, the increase / decrease time value (t) measured and stored experimentally in advance according to the boiling time measured by the timer 1 is fetched and used The set time value of the already set timer 2 is corrected and reset, and the reset time value is adjusted within a certain range in accordance with the operation signal of the user's cooking control means 9, and then the boiling detection means The timer 2 for starting operation according to the output signal at the time of boiling detection of the cooking device 10 outputs a signal to the sound generating means side when the reset time has elapsed to alert the cooking completion. pot.

The water vapor chamber 14 may be formed so as to meet the upper surface of the upper cap and the space below the upper lid knob at the position of the water vapor inlet V1 as shown in Figs. Alternatively, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the upper and lower lid knobs 5 may be formed as a space formed by the bottom of the binding lid 18 detachably attached to the upper lid. In particular, as shown in FIG. 4, the steam inlet V1 may be formed by using a screw through hole 20 formed at the center of the screw 19.

3 and 4, a structure in which the upper lid knob 5 is detachably attached to the binding pedestal 18 may utilize various structures known in the art. For example, when a binding thread is formed at a portion where the binding base 18 and the upper lid handle 5 are in contact with each other, the upper lid handle 5 is rotated while rotating clockwise, You may.

[Action]

In Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, the soup 3 and the cooking material (noodle) 4 are placed in the pot 1 and heating is started. Then, the power is supplied to the circuit section 12 by the operation of the power switch (not shown) of the user and the operation signal of the menu selection means 8, so that the timer 1 starts the time measurement and the user's menu selection means 8 ) Of the menu (for example, the type of ramen) selected by the operation of the controller 17 is fetched from the memory 17 and set in the timer 2.

As the heating is continued, the temperature of the soup 3 rises as shown in FIG. 6, and when the temperature of the soup 3 finally reaches the boiling temperature, steam suddenly rises and the soup 3 begins to boil.

That is, when the broth 3 is boiled and the water vapor is rapidly sprayed, the water vapor is introduced into the water vapor chamber 14 through the water vapor inlet V1 and then discharged to the outside air through the water vapor outlet V2. The temperature sensor 7 installed in the water vapor chamber 14 is heated to sense the temperature of the water vapor when boiling the broth 3 so that the boiling detection means 10 connected to the temperature sensor 7, The boiling detection signal is output to the timer 1 and the timer 2, respectively. Accordingly, the time measurement operation of the timer 1 is stopped, and the time information measured by the timer 1 from the time when the power source 15 is turned on until the boiling point (the time taken for the soup material 3 to reach the boiling temperature) To the CPU side. Then, the CPU fetches the increase / decrease time value? T corresponding to the measured time range of the timer 1 from the measured time increment / decrement time value? T of the timer 1 data stored in the memory 17, The set time value of the timer 2 is corrected using the increase / decrease time value? T to reset the time of the timer 2, and then the operation of the timer 2 is started.

When the reset time of the timer 2 has elapsed, the timer 2 outputs a signal to the sound generating means 16 to generate an alarm sound indicating completion of cooking.

The correction of the set time of the timer 2 is very effective when the cooking material is the same side dish and is one of the features of the present invention. In the case of cotton, the problem is that when the cooking time is long in the soup (3), there is a problem that the surface of the soup suddenly falls due to the swelling of the surface, so that "the duration of the boiling The idea of the present invention to perform a correction to a value is a very useful idea.

In the configuration of the present invention, the upper lid knob 5 can be detached as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, so that the upper lid knob 5 with the circuit part 12 can be separated during cleaning, It is possible to exclude the possibility of penetration into the substrate 12.

Example 1.

An example of the data measured experimentally by the applicant for the relationship " boiling time duration " is given below.

<Table 1> (Ramen type: Shinramyun)

If the menu selection means 8 selects the salame side (or the normal side) as the menu, timer 2 is set to 3 minutes, which is the representative salting duration of the salame according to Table 1. [ When boiling is detected, the time required until boiling is measured by timer 1, and the set three minutes are adjusted according to the measured time. For example, if the boiling time is 2 minutes and 50 seconds, the corresponding correction time value is +30 seconds. Therefore, +30 seconds is added to 3 minutes set in Timer 2, and 3 minutes and 30 seconds are reset to Timer 2, and the operation of Timer 2 is started.

Table 1 shows a case where the ramen is put in advance in the initial stage of heating, and the data may be slightly different depending on the individual taste. It is to be understood that the data in Table 1 above are only exemplary data of the present invention, and may be further subdivided or less subdivided data may be applied. Table 1 above may differ depending on the type of ramen.

The boiling time in Table 1 does not represent the amount of cooking. Because the user can freely use the size of firepower, the amount of cooking is not necessarily large because the boiling time is long. Only the boiling time value can tell the total time that the cooking material (ramen) 4 is locked until the boiling water 4 is boiled in the soup 3 in which the temperature is rising. Therefore, the concept is different from the correction of the boiling duration according to the amount of the dish proposed by the present applicant in the patent application No. 101402513 (Publication No. 1020130052508). In the present invention, the cooking material (4) 3) It is a concept to compensate the duration of boiling according to the time immersed in.

The water vapor chamber 14 shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 3, and 4 prevents external winds, thereby preventing water vapor from being disturbed by external winds, so that the temperature sensor 7 installed inside the water vapor chamber 14 can control the water vapor temperature So that it is very effective to determine the boiling.

Up to now, the above has been described mainly in the case of ramen dishes. However, it should be understood that the present invention is applicable not only to ramen noodles, but also to other dishes in which soup remains when cooking is completed.
