[0009]
Therefore, the present invention is a cooking device in a plurality of cooking utensils such as a roaster attached to a cooking heater, and when the cooking device has a plurality of cooking menus including automatic cooking, the heating cooking device is turned off. The purpose is to reduce the number of key operations by selecting a menu after first operating the / on key, and to clarify the intention of using this heating cooker in the first operation and to improve usability.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve this problem, the heating cooker of the present invention detects a temperature in the baking chamber, detects a temperature rise in the temperature detection unit, estimates the amount of the cooked food, and the amount of the cooked food. And a control unit that controls the heater according to the cooking process, an operation unit that selects the cooking process, and a display unit that displays the selected cooking process, and a menu that can be selected by operating the heating off / on key is displayed. , One of them is selected, and after that, the menu can be selected by a menu key only for a certain period of time, and if there is no key operation after that, the cooking process of the selected menu starts after a certain period of time. Is.
[0011]
As a result, the intention to use this cooker is clarified by operating the heating off / on key first, which is consistent with the operation of other cookers, and the number of key operations is reduced, improving usability.
[0012]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
According to the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a firing chamber having a heater, a grill that can be detachably mounted in the firing chamber, a temperature detection unit that detects a temperature in the firing chamber, and a temperature rise of the temperature detection unit. A controller that detects and estimates the amount of the cooked food, controls the heater according to the amount of cooked food and the cooking process, an operation unit that selects the cooking process, and a display unit that displays the selected cooking process, A selectable menu is displayed by operating the heat-off / on key, and one of the menus is selected. After that, the menu can be selected by the menu key only for a certain period of time. The cooking process of the selected menu after the time starts, and the intention to use this cooker becomes clear by operating the heat off / on key first, and other cooking Also has the effect that it is possible to improve the ease of use decreases the number of consistent with the operation is to take key operation.
[0013]
According to the second aspect of the present invention, the menu that is first selected by operating the heat-off / on key is a manual menu. It has the effect that cooking can be started.
[0014]
The invention according to claim 3 of the present invention has a storage unit for storing the cooked menu, and the menu selected first by the heating off / on key operation is the previously cooked menu taken out from the storage unit. As a result, it is possible to start cooking with a single key operation on a previously cooked menu that is considered to be frequently used.
[0015]
According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the control unit has a storage unit for storing the number of cooking times of the cooked menu, and the menu that is initially selected by the heating off / on key operation is the storage unit. Since the menu is the most frequently used among the extracted cooking menus, the cooking menu considered to be the most frequently used can be cooked by a single key operation.
[0016]
【Example】
(Example 1)
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1, 2, and 3 are the same as those described in the conventional example, and thus description thereof is omitted.
[0017]
FIG. 5 is a flow chart of the first and second embodiments of the present invention, which will be described with reference to these drawings. When the power switch 5 in FIG. 1 is turned on, the power lamp 9 is turned on and the entire device is energized. When the roaster 4 is used, when the roaster off / on key 23 (or the heating off / on key) is pressed, the display section 16 is lit as shown in FIG. 3, and the manual menu with a triangle mark is selected. Other selectable menus are displayed. When the manual menu is selected as it is, manual cooking starts automatically after 8 seconds.
[0018]
Here, the reason for starting cooking 8 seconds after operating the heating off / on key is that the cooking menu is automatic cooking, the size of the food is judged by the temperature rise of the temperature detection unit in the roaster, and the heating power and Since the cooking time is controlled, if the heater is energized while the menu selection is not completed, the temperature rise cannot be accurately determined. Therefore, the heater is not energized for 8 seconds when the menu is selected. After that, make menu selection impossible. Therefore, after 8 seconds, when the heater is energized, the menus other than the selected menu on the display unit 16 are turned off. By providing the delay time of 8 seconds, the menu key can be operated after the heating off / on key is first pressed, and the usability is improved. Here, it is appropriate that the delay time of 8 seconds is between 5 seconds and 10 seconds. When adjusting the heating power or setting the timer, the up / down keys 21 and 22 and the minute key 19 are operated.
[0019]
Thus, by first pressing the roaster off / on key 23 (heating off / on key), cooking can be started with a single key operation in the case of a manual menu that is generally frequently used.
[0020]
(Example 2)
FIG. 6 is a flow chart of an embodiment of claim 3 of the present invention, which will be described with reference to these drawings.
[0021]
When the power switch 5 of FIG. 1 is turned on, the power lamp 9 is turned on and the entire device is energized. When the roaster 4 is used, when the roaster off / on key 23 is pressed, the display unit 16 is lit as shown in FIG. 4, and other selectable menus are displayed in a state where the appearance menu with a triangle mark is selected. Is displayed.
[0022]
At this time, the figure grilling menu is a menu prepared last time and is stored in the storage unit in the control unit. However, in the case of the first cooking without the previous cooking, the manual menu is selected.
[0023]
When selecting the grilled menu, the grilled cooking will start automatically after 8 seconds. To adjust the heating power, the up / down keys 21 and 22 are operated.
Thus, by first pressing the roaster off / on key 23, cooking can be started with a single key operation in the case of a manual menu that is generally used frequently.
[0024]
(Example 3)
FIG. 7 is a flow chart of an embodiment of claim 4 of the present invention, which will be described with reference to these drawings.
[0025]
When the power switch 5 in FIG. 1 is turned on, the power lamp 9 is turned on and the entire device is energized. When the roaster 4 is used, when the roaster off / enter key 23 is pressed, the display unit 16 is lit as shown in FIG. 4, and other selectable menus are displayed with the appearance grilled menu with a triangle mark selected. Is displayed.
[0026]
At this time, the appearance grilling menu is the most frequently used menu in the past five cookings stored in the storage unit in the control unit. However, in the case of the first cooking without the previous cooking, the manual menu is selected.
[0027]
When selecting the grilled menu, the grilled cooking will start automatically after 8 seconds. To adjust the heating power, the up / down keys 21 and 22 are operated.
Thus, by first pressing the roaster off / on key 23, cooking can be started with a single key operation in the case of a manual menu that is generally used frequently.
[0028]
