Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to an automatic bread maker that can automatically bake bread when bread ingredients are put in and the machine starts operating.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, automatic bread making machines called automatic home bakeries have come on the market. This automatic bread maker is designed to bake a loaf of bread in about 3 to 4 hours after adding bread ingredients and starting operation. The operating section of a conventional automatic bread-breaking machine is shown in FIG.

In this figure 2, 1 is a key switch for setting the timer when baking bread, 2 is a start key switch for starting operation, and 3 is a start key switch for starting operation when the timer time is started by mistake. This is the cancel key switch used to stop the operation. The user presses the start key switch 2 to start the operation.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, the conventional automatic bread making machine described above takes about 3 to 4 hours from the time the start key switch 2 is pressed to the end of bread making. If a child presses the button in the same way, the bread will remain in the dough state and the automatic bread maker will stop operating and be destroyed. However, there was a problem in that the bread dough had to be thrown away.

An object of the present invention is to provide an automatic bread maker capable of solving the above-mentioned conventional problems.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an intermediate start means for starting the bread making process from a predetermined intermediate step.

By providing the above-mentioned alternative means, even if the user accidentally stops the operation before baking and the bread stays in the dough state, it is possible to carry out the fermentation and baking again.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on FIG. FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of an automatic bread maker according to an embodiment of the present invention, and 1 is a container into which a user puts bread ingredients.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a kneading means for kneading the bread ingredients in the container 1. 3 is a heating means for heating the container 1, 4 is a temperature detection means for detecting the temperature of the container 1, and 5 is a start means for the user to start bread making. Reference numeral 6 denotes a control means, which receives the output of the start means 6, controls the crosstalk means 2 and the heating means 3 according to the output of the temperature detection means 4, and controls the bread making process consisting of kneading, fermentation, and baking. It is used to bake bread as it progresses. 7 is a midway start means, and this midway start means 7 is a control means 6.
It outputs an output to start the operation from a predetermined intermediate step in bread making.

As an example, the predetermined intermediate step of bread making is assumed to start from the middle of the fermentation step. If the user starts the operation of the automatic bread making machine using the start means S and then stops the bread making process in the middle of the bread making process by canceling the process (not shown in this example), the bread dough is finished to some extent. Since this often happens, bread can be baked by operating the automatic bread maker again using the intermediate start means 7.

In addition, such automatic bread making machines can only make bread according to the shape of the container 1, but in the present invention, after only making bread dough and stopping operation, the user can make bread dough into the shape of a butter roll, etc. After that, if the operation is started using the intermediate start means 7, bread shaped into a desired shape can be made, thereby increasing the variety of bread making.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the above embodiments, according to the present invention, even if the operation of the automatic bread maker stops while the dough is still in the state of bread making, it can be restarted using the intermediate start means. It can be used to bake bread. It also has the effect of allowing you to make bread other than container-shaped bread according to your preference.
