Description

  The present invention relates to a cooking device including a heating chamber for cooking an object to be cooked. In particular, the present invention relates to a cooking device capable of cooking by introducing a grill plate for placing an object to be cooked in addition to a cooking tool such as a grill net in a heating chamber.

  Conventionally, a grill that has a heating chamber, an upper and lower burner that heats the object to be cooked, and a temperature sensor that detects the temperature in the heating chamber, and a cooking object such as fish is placed in the heating chamber In addition to manual cooking that manually adjusts the amount of heating of the upper and lower burners by introducing the heat, a cooking device capable of automatic cooking that automatically adjusts the amount of heating of the upper and lower burners during cooking is known (patent) Reference 1). In this type of cooking device, when the user selects automatic cooking in the cooking mode selection unit, the cooking object is heated for a predetermined cooking time and a predetermined heating amount according to the type of cooking object and the amount of baking. The

  In addition to cooking using the grille as described above, in order to cook bread, pizza, etc. using a heating cabinet, a dish-shaped grill plate for placing these items to be cooked is used as a cooking tool. 2. Description of the Related Art There is known a cooking device that can perform plate cooking that is introduced into a heating chamber and cooks. When performing plate cooking using such a grill plate, the upper surface of the object to be cooked is heated by a direct fire of the upper burner, but the lower surface of the object to be cooked is heated via the grill plate. The degree of progress of cooking on the lower surface is slower than that on the upper surface. Moreover, since the grill plate generally has a larger heat capacity than the grill made of wire, the amount of heating at the initial stage of cooking is consumed for the temperature rise of the grill plate. Therefore, when cooking the plate, if the cooking time is lengthened in order to sufficiently heat the lower surface of the object to be cooked by the lower burner, heating of the upper surface of the object to be cooked by the upper burner becomes excessive, and Scorching is likely to occur. On the other hand, if the cooking time is shortened to prevent the upper surface from being burnt, the inside of the object to be cooked is not heated and cooking shortage is likely to occur. For this reason, the cooking device capable of plate cooking is configured to adjust the height and heat capacity of the grill plate in the heating chamber so that the upper and lower surfaces of the object to be cooked can be cooked evenly and in a balanced manner.

  By the way, there are cases where cooking is repeatedly performed using a heating cabinet when the amount of cooking is large or when cooking different types of objects to be cooked. In cooking using such a repetitive heating chamber, cooking starts from a state where the temperature in the heating chamber is high, so there is a possibility that the temperature in the chamber becomes excessively high during cooking compared to the first time cooking, In addition, the cooking object tends to be burnt. Therefore, it is conceivable to provide a control configuration that restricts the start of cooking until the internal temperature at the start of cooking decreases to a predetermined temperature.

  However, in a cooking device capable of cooking using a plurality of types of cooking utensils such as grills and grill plates, after cooking using grills, plate cooking may be performed using grill plates. is there. When cooking using such different cooking utensils is performed continuously, the temperature of the grill plate is as low as room temperature even if the internal temperature is high. Therefore, there is a problem that the degree of cooking of the cooking object varies depending on the temperature state of the grill plate, and uniform baking cannot be obtained on the upper and lower surfaces.

  For example, after cooking using a grill net, when performing plate cooking using a grill plate within a short time, the upper surface of the object to be cooked is heated by an upper burner with an upper burner in a state where the temperature in the cabinet is high, Since the lower surface of the object to be cooked is heated by the lower burner through the grill plate in contact with the low temperature grill plate, the progress of cooking on the lower surface is slower than the upper surface, and the upper surface and the lower surface are baked. The cooking time when the upper surface is baked is greatly different, and underheating of the lower surface is likely to occur. On the other hand, if the start of cooking is prohibited after the previous cooking has been completed until the temperature in the cooking chamber has fallen uniformly, not only is the overall cooking time prolonged, which is inconvenient, but the food to be cooked in the previous cooking is cooled. There is a problem that the taste decreases.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to allow a user to arbitrarily select a plate cooking mode using a grill plate and a non-plate cooking mode not using a grill plate. When cooking using a heating chamber is repeatedly performed with a simple heating cooker, if the current cooking mode is a plate cooking mode using a grill plate, the top and bottom surfaces of the object to be cooked are controlled regardless of the previous cooking mode. The object is to provide a cooked food with good baking after heating without excess or deficiency.

The present invention comprises a heating cabinet,
A gas burner that heats the food;
A temperature detector for detecting the temperature inside the heating chamber;
A plate cooking mode in which cooking is performed by introducing a dish-shaped grill plate on which an object is placed in the heating chamber, and a cooking tool such as a grill net is introduced in the heating chamber without introducing the grill plate. And a cooking mode selection unit capable of selecting a non-plate cooking mode for cooking,
A cooking mode storage unit for storing the cooking mode selected by the cooking mode selection unit;
A combustion control unit for controlling the combustion of the gas burner according to the cooking mode selected by the cooking mode selection unit,
When the plate cooking mode is selected by the cooking mode selection unit and the previous cooking mode stored in the cooking mode storage unit is the plate cooking mode, the combustion control unit has an internal temperature at the start of cooking. Is below a predetermined first acceptable temperature for performing cooking, the gas burner is ignited to start combustion,
When the plate cooking mode is selected by the cooking mode selection unit and the previous cooking mode stored in the cooking mode storage unit is a non-plate cooking mode, the internal temperature at the start of cooking is the first reception. It is a heating cooker that prohibits ignition of the gas burner until it becomes equal to or lower than a predetermined second acceptable temperature for performing cooking lower than the possible temperature.

  According to the heating cooker, when the subsequent cooking is performed in the plate cooking mode regardless of the previous cooking mode, the internal temperature at the start of cooking is a predetermined first acceptable temperature for performing cooking. Since cooking is not started unless it is below, it is possible to prevent overheating of the heating chamber during cooking and overcooking of the cooking object due to a high internal temperature.

  Moreover, when cooking using a heating chamber is repeatedly performed in plate cooking mode, cooking is started from a state where the grill plate is hot. Therefore, since the progress of cooking on the lower surface of the object to be cooked is accelerated by the high-temperature grill plate, if the inside temperature at the start of cooking is equal to or lower than a predetermined first acceptable temperature for performing cooking, cooking is immediately performed. Even when starting, the baking of the upper and lower surfaces of the object to be cooked can be made equal.

  On the other hand, after cooking is performed in the non-plate cooking mode, when cooking is performed in the plate cooking mode, cooking is started from the low temperature of the grill plate even though the internal temperature is high. Therefore, if cooking is started immediately when the internal temperature is equal to or lower than the first acceptable temperature after the end of the previous cooking, the difference in the degree of progress of cooking between the upper surface and the lower surface of the object to be cooked increases. However, according to the heating cooker, when the previous cooking mode is the non-plate cooking mode, the internal temperature is lowered to the second acceptable temperature for performing cooking lower than the first acceptable temperature. Otherwise, the gas burner is ignited and cooking is not started, so that the degree of progress of cooking on the upper and lower surfaces of the object to be cooked can be made equal.

In the heating cooker, preferably,
The gas burner includes an upper burner that heats the object to be cooked from above and a lower burner that heats the object to be cooked from below, and the upper and lower burners are operated in conjunction with point-extinguishing.

  According to the heating cooker, when cooking in the plate cooking mode in which the lower surface of the object to be cooked is heated by the lower burner through the grill plate and only the upper surface is heated by the direct burn of the upper burner, it is connected to each burner. When cooking using a heating chamber is performed repeatedly with an inexpensive configuration without providing a control means for individually controlling the fire extinguishing of the burner in the gas supply pipe, and without adopting a complicated control configuration In addition, the upper and lower surfaces of the object to be cooked can be cooked without excess or deficiency depending on the internal temperature and the temperature of the grill plate.

In the heating cooker, preferably,
The cooking mode storage unit stores the selected cooking mode when the cooking time in the cooking mode selected by the cooking mode selection unit is a predetermined time or longer.

  In both the plate cooking mode and the non-plate cooking mode, the user may perform additional heating for a short time by manual cooking or automatic cooking in order to eliminate the cooking shortage of the food item after cooking. For this reason, if such additional heating is also stored as the previous cooking mode, the temperature state of the grill plate may be erroneously determined. However, according to the heating cooker, the cooking mode is stored in the cooking mode storage unit only when the cooking time in the previous cooking mode is equal to or longer than a certain time. Cooking in the subsequent plate cooking mode can be started based on the presence or absence of use.

  As described above, according to the present invention, when the plate cooking mode is selected in the current cooking mode, the previous cooking mode is confirmed. Therefore, regardless of the initial temperature of the heating chamber, the temperature state of the grill plate Can be accurately determined. Moreover, when cooking is continuously performed in the plate cooking mode, cooking can be started immediately if the internal temperature is equal to or lower than the first acceptable temperature for performing cooking. For this reason, not only can cooking be performed repeatedly and repeatedly using a heating chamber, but also preventing the overcooking of the lower surface of the object to be cooked by the hot grill plate until the temperature inside the chamber decreases. it can.

  On the other hand, after cooking is performed in the non-plate cooking mode, when cooking is performed in the plate cooking mode, the inside temperature is lower than the second acceptable temperature for performing cooking lower than the first acceptable temperature. Since cooking is not started until it decreases, the degree of progress of cooking on the upper and lower surfaces of the object to be cooked can be made equal, and either one of the surfaces can be prevented from being overheated or insufficiently baked.

  Therefore, according to the present invention, regardless of the previous cooking mode, in cooking in the subsequent plate cooking mode, the upper and lower surfaces of the food to be cooked are heated without excess and deficiency to provide a food with good taste. Can do.

Note that the set values such as the combustion pattern and the first and second acceptable temperatures can be obtained in advance by experiments based on the characteristics of the gas stove.

  Next, the control operation in the case of performing automatic cooking using the gas stove according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of a control program for performing automatic cooking when the grill plate switch 41 or the auto switch 42 incorporated in the microcomputer is selected. The same control is performed when timer cooking is performed.

  First, after the user turns on the power switch 29, when the grill plate switch 41 or the auto switch 42 is operated, it is determined whether or not the selected cooking mode is the plate cooking mode (step ST1). ). When the user operates the grill plate switch 41 (Yes in step ST1), whether the previous cooking mode stored in the cooking mode storage unit is the plate cooking mode or the grill cooking mode. Is determined (step ST2).

  When the cooking mode performed last time is the plate cooking mode (Yes in step ST2), the inside temperatures Th1 and Th2 detected by the first and second temperature sensors 14a and 14b are both for performing cooking. It is determined whether or not the temperature is lower than the first acceptable temperature Tr1 (for example, 275 ° C.) (step ST3). If both the internal temperature Th1 and Th2 are equal to or lower than the first receivable temperature Tr1 (Yes in step ST3), the operation of the grill plate switch 41 by the user is accepted, and the grill plate switch 41 and the baking adjustment switch 43 are received. The cooking mode is determined by turning on the type of cooking object selected according to the number of operations and the baking lamp (step ST4).

  Next, the combustion pattern and cooking time set in accordance with the type of cooking object to be cooked, the cooking temperature, and the internal temperature are read (step ST5), and the user turns on the grill switch 37 for cooking. Is started, the timer is started, the main valve V1 and the thermal power switching valves V2 and V3 are opened, and a high voltage is further applied from the igniter 600 to the ignition electrode 601 so that the upper and lower burners 56 and 55 are ignited. (Step ST6). When the heating amount of the upper and lower burners 56 and 55 is adjusted with a predetermined combustion pattern and a predetermined cooking time has elapsed (Yes in step ST7), the current plate cooking mode is stored in the cooking mode storage unit, and the main valve V1 is closed to finish cooking. In addition, when the user interrupts cooking within a short time from the start of cooking due to erroneous selection of the cooking mode or when the cooking time such as follow-up heating is less than a predetermined time (for example, 2 minutes), the current cooking mode Is not stored in the cooking mode storage unit, and cooking is terminated (steps ST8 to ST10).

  On the other hand, when the user operates the grill plate switch 41 and the current cooking mode is the plate cooking mode, but the cooking mode performed last time is the grill cooking mode (No in step ST2), the first and Whether the inside temperatures Th1 and Th2 detected by the second temperature sensors 14a and 14b are lower than a second acceptable temperature Tr2 (for example, 130 ° C.) for performing cooking lower than the first acceptable temperature Tr1. Determination is made (step ST13). Then, if the inside temperatures Th1 and Th2 are both equal to or lower than the second acceptable temperature Tr2 (Yes in step ST13), the cooking mode is determined in the same manner as described above, and the type or baking of the selected cooking object The adjustment lamp is turned on and the upper and lower burners 56 and 55 are ignited, and cooking is performed for a predetermined cooking time with a combustion pattern set according to the internal temperature (steps ST14 to ST20).

  However, if the cooking performed last time is the grill cooking mode and one of the inside temperatures Th1 and Th2 detected by the first and second temperature sensors 14a and 14b is higher than the second acceptable temperature Tr2 (step) In ST13, No), the operation of the grill plate switch 41 is not accepted until the inside temperatures Th1 and Th2 are equal to or lower than the second acceptable temperature Tr2, and the state where the lamp of the object to be cooked is not turned on is maintained (step ST21). In this case, it is informed from the liquid crystal display unit 300 or a speaker (not shown) that the operation of the grill plate switch 41 is not accepted because the internal temperature is high (step ST22).

  Then, if both of the interior temperatures Th1 and Th2 are equal to or lower than the second acceptable temperature Tr2, the user's operation of the grill plate switch 41 is accepted, the cooking mode is determined in the same manner as described above, and the selected cooking target is prepared. The lamp of the kind of item and baking is turned on, cooking is performed for a predetermined cooking time with a predetermined combustion pattern, and the current plate cooking mode is stored in the cooking mode storage unit after the cooking is finished (steps ST14 to ST20). In addition, when the internal temperature Th1, Th2 becomes equal to or lower than the second acceptable temperature Tr2, the liquid crystal display unit 300 or the like may be notified that the internal temperature has decreased.

  Furthermore, the cooking performed last time is the plate cooking mode, and when the user operates the grill plate switch 41, any one of the internal temperatures Th1 and Th2 detected by the first and second temperature sensors 14a and 14b is selected. If the temperature is higher than the first acceptable temperature Tr1 for performing cooking (No in step ST3), the internal temperature is determined to be unsuitable for cooking until the internal temperature becomes equal to or lower than the first acceptable temperature Tr1. The state where the operation of the grill plate switch 41 is not accepted and the lamp of the object to be cooked is not turned on is notified from the liquid crystal display unit 300 or the like (steps ST11 to ST12).

  When the user operates the auto switch 42 (No in step ST1), the first and second temperature sensors 14a and 14b do not determine the previous cooking mode stored in the cooking mode storage unit. It is determined whether the detected internal temperatures Th1 and Th2 are equal to or lower than a first acceptable temperature Tr1 (for example, 275 ° C.) for performing cooking (step ST23). The control operation when the inside temperatures Th1 and Th2 are both lower than or equal to the first acceptable temperature Tr1 and when either the inside temperature Th1 or Th2 is higher than the first acceptable temperature Tr1 is the plate cooking mode described above. These are the same as those (steps ST24 to ST32).

  According to the gas stove, when the plate cooking mode is selected in the current cooking mode, the cooking mode of the previously performed cooking stored in the cooking mode storage unit is confirmed, so the grill in the current plate cooking mode The temperature state of the plate 20 can be accurately determined. That is, if the previous cooking mode is the same plate cooking mode, the grill plate 20 is considered to be in a high temperature state. Therefore, if the internal temperature is higher than the first acceptable temperature for performing cooking, even if the upper and lower burners 56 and 55 are immediately ignited to start cooking, the cooking of the upper and lower surfaces of the cooking object is performed. Can be made equal. Thereby, even if the inside of the grill cabinet 2 becomes high temperature in the previous plate cooking mode, cooking can be performed smoothly in a short waiting time, and an object to be cooked having good baking on the upper and lower surfaces can be obtained. it can. In addition, since the food to be cooked is not placed on the hot grill plate 20 for a long time, it is possible to prevent overcooking of only the lower surface of the food to be cooked.

  On the other hand, if the previous cooking mode stored in the cooking mode storage unit is the non-plate cooking mode of the grill cooking mode, the grill plate 20 is considered to be in a low temperature state of about room temperature. Accordingly, when cooking is started by immediately igniting the upper and lower burners 56 and 55 from the state where the inside temperature is high, the upper surface of the object to be cooked is heated by the direct fire of the upper burner 56 and cooking proceeds in a short time. On the other hand, the lower surface of the object to be cooked is slow in cooking due to the low temperature grill plate 20 and is likely to be short of baking. However, in the gas stove, even if the inside temperature is equal to or lower than the predetermined first acceptable temperature when the plate cooking mode is selected, if the previous cooking mode is the non-plate cooking mode, the inside temperature is the first. Since the operation of the grill plate switch 41 is not accepted and the ignition of the upper and lower burners 56 and 55 is prohibited until the temperature becomes lower than the second acceptable temperature for performing cooking lower than the acceptable temperature, the internal temperature is high and the grill It is possible to prevent cooking from being started from a state where the temperature of the plate 20 is low. Thereby, the progress of cooking on the upper and lower surfaces of the object to be cooked can be made equal, and the upper and lower surfaces can be baked without excess or deficiency. Moreover, even if the inside of the grill cabinet 2 has become high due to the previous cooking, the subsequent cooking is started without waiting for the temperature inside the grill to drop to about room temperature, so that cooking can be performed smoothly. . Moreover, in the gas stove, the food to be cooked is cooked more appropriately because the food to be cooked is cooked with a different combustion pattern depending on the internal temperature at the start of cooking even if it is the same kind of food or the same baking. Can be cooked.

  Therefore, according to the gas stove, an inexpensive configuration is provided without providing a flow rate control valve for individually controlling the point-extinguishing of the upper and lower burners 56 and 55 and a control configuration for individually controlling a plurality of flow rate control valves. When cooking using the grill chamber 2 repeatedly with a gas stove, regardless of the previous cooking mode, cooking in the subsequent plate cooking mode heats the top and bottom surfaces of the food to be cooked without excess or deficiency. Can be provided.

  Furthermore, when performing automatic cooking based on the combustion pattern, the heating amount of the upper and lower burners 56 and 55 is set based on a standard value in each cooking mode, so that cooking ends depending on the type and size of the object to be cooked. Sometimes the user feels that the food to be cooked is insufficiently heated. In such a case, the user may perform additional heating for a short time by manual cooking or timer cooking after the end of automatic cooking. Therefore, if it is recognized and stored as cooking in a predetermined cooking mode even for short-time cooking, there is a possibility that a cooking mode different from the actually performed cooking mode is determined as the previous cooking mode. However, in the gas stove, since the cooking mode is not stored unless the cooking time is performed for a predetermined time or longer, erroneous determination of the temperature of the grill plate 20 due to such short-time cooking can be reliably prevented.

  In the gas stove, cooking is not started unless the internal temperature is equal to or lower than the predetermined first acceptable temperature regardless of the cooking mode. It is possible to prevent over baking of the object.

(Other embodiments)
(1) In the above embodiment, both the plate cooking mode and the grilled net cooking mode are stored in the cooking mode storage unit, but if only one cooking mode is stored, the previous cooking mode is plate cooking. Since it is possible to determine whether the mode is the non-plate cooking mode, the cooking mode storage unit may store the cooking mode only when cooking is performed in any cooking mode.
(2) In the above embodiment, grill cooking has been described, but the present invention can also be applied to oven cooking in which hot air generated by a gas burner is circulated.
(3) In the above embodiment, the heating cooker having the plate cooking mode and the grilled net cooking mode as the cooking mode has been described, but the container cooking mode using a heating container such as a Dutch oven is possible as the non-plate cooking mode. The present invention can be applied to a simple cooking device.
