Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a cooking scale.

Generally, a dish scale is used as a cooking scale. However, conventional dish scales only perform weighing, and a separate conversion is required to determine the amount of cooking ingredients for the required number of people from the amount of cooking ingredients for the standard number of people. Furthermore, when weighing multiple types of cooking ingredients, each ingredient must be weighed one by one, which is inconvenient.

The present invention solves these drawbacks and will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an external view showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a simplified structural diagram thereof.

In the drawing, 10 is a saucer, 20 is a weight detection section, 30 is an operation key section, 40 is a signal processing section, 50
is the display section.

Cooking ingredients to be weighed are placed on the tray 10. The weight detection unit 20 detects the weight of the cooking ingredients placed on the saucer 10 and sends it to the signal processing unit 40 as a weight signal in a predetermined format. The operation key section 30 is used to input various information related to weighing, and in this embodiment, a numeric keypad 31 for specifying the reference number of people and the required number of people, and a display section 5 are used.
A signal for restoring the calculation result display of 0 to zero and accumulating the calculation result in the signal processing unit 40 and temporarily storing it, and a signal for accumulating and temporarily storing the number of times the calculation result display is returned to zero in the signal processing unit 40. The first key 32 sends a signal for displaying the cumulative calculation result on the display unit 50, the second key 33 sends a signal for displaying the cumulative calculation result on the display unit 50, and the cumulative calculation result storage value and the total number of times the calculation result is returned to zero are displayed. A third key 34 sends out a signal to send out a signal for resetting the stored value, and a fourth key sends out a signal to make the display unit 50 display the accumulated stored value of the number of times the operation result is returned to zero. It has a key 35 and the like.
The signal processing section 40 controls the weighing operation and performs arithmetic processing based on the output signal of the weight detection section 20 and the output signal of the operation key section 30, and can use, for example, a microcomputer. The display unit 50 displays the output of the signal processing unit 40, and in this embodiment, a first display unit 51 that displays the reference number of people, a second display unit 52 that displays the designated number of people, calculation results, cumulative It has a third display section 53 and the like that displays the calculation result and the accumulated stored value of the number of times the calculation result is returned to zero.

The operation of the device configured in this way will be explained.

First, before starting weighing, the reference number of people and the required number of people described in the cooking text etc. are input into the signal processing section 40 using the numeric keypad 31. For example, the standard number of people in the text is 3 and the required number of people is 7.
In the case of a person, input in the order of "7", "/", and "3".
These input values are displayed on display sections 52 and 51, respectively. Furthermore, in the signal processing section 40, calculations relating to the ratio between the reference number of persons and the designated number of persons are performed on the output signal of the weight detection section 20. For weighing, the third key 34 is pressed to reset the stored value of the cumulative calculation result and the cumulative stored value of the number of zero return times displayed on the calculation result display, and then the container is placed on the tray 10. It goes without saying that this initial state setting can be configured to be automatically performed when the power is turned on. By placing a container on the display section 53, a value related to the weighing of the container is displayed, but by pressing the first key 32, the display returns to zero, and the value related to the weighing of the container is displayed. It is stored in the signal processing section 40. Note that settings are made here so that the first operation of the first key 32 is not counted in the number of zero return operations, and the weighing results are not cumulatively calculated. In this way, after pressing the first key 32, the cooking ingredients to be weighed are placed in the container. For example, if the amount of text is 150g for 3 people, display section 5
Make sure that the displayed value in step 3 is 150g. The signal processing unit 40 sends to the display unit 53 a weighing value related to the net weight of the first cooking ingredient after subtracting the weight of the container. When the display value on the display unit 53 reaches 150g,
This means that we actually weighed out 350g for 7 people. After weighing a predetermined amount of the first cooking ingredient, the first key 32 is pressed. As a result, the display value of the display section 53 returns to zero, the display amount of the first cooking ingredient is stored in the cumulative calculation storage section in the signal processing section 40, and the number of times of return to zero is stored as one time in the cumulative calculation storage section. Stored. Thereafter, by repeating the weighing of cooking ingredients and the operation of the first key, it is possible to continuously weigh a plurality of cooking ingredients. By pressing the second key 33 during or at the end of weighing, the cumulative weight of the cooking ingredients will be displayed on the display section 53, and by pressing the fourth key 35, the total weight of the cooking ingredients will be displayed on the display section 53.
Since the number of times of return to zero, that is, the number of times of weighing of cooking ingredients is displayed, it is possible to prevent weighing errors. After completing a series of weighings, press the third key 34.
Press to reset to the initial value state.

As explained above, according to the present invention, a cooking scale without weighing errors can be realized, and the practical effects are great.
