Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Technical field of invention] The present invention relates to a cooking device having an automatic cooking function.

[Technical background of the invention]

Generally, this type of cooking appliance, such as a microwave oven, is constructed as shown in FIG. In the figure, 1 is the main body,
A heating chamber 2 is provided within the main body 1, and a door 3 is provided at the opening of the heating chamber 2 so as to be openable and closable. 4 is an operation panel, and this operation panel 4 is provided with a display section 5 for displaying cooking information such as cooking time and cooking temperature, a cooking selection key 6, an automatic cooking key 7, and the like. When the cook presses the cooking selection key 6 to select automatic cooking and also selects a menu using the automatic cooking key 7, the menu corresponds to the one selected from various preset cooking programs. The selected program will be selected and cooking will begin automatically.

[Problems with background technology]

By the way, in a microwave oven having such an automatic cooking function, as described above, automatic cooking is selected using the cooking selection key 6, and menu selection is performed using the automatic cooking key 7. I look for the contents in cookbooks or in many capsules. For this reason, there is a drawback that not only is it necessary to check the cooking contents according to the menu, but also that when going to buy ingredients for a dish, the necessary items must be written down from a cookbook or menu capsule. In addition, those who kept household account books had to record purchased materials and prices, which was time-consuming.

Furthermore, these days more and more people are paying attention to their eating habits, and more and more people are calculating the calories and vitamin intake of their meals, but these calculations used to be tedious.

[Purpose of the invention]

This invention was made in view of the above circumstances,
The purpose is to provide a cooking appliance that can display cooking contents corresponding to a menu selected by a cook in an easy-to-read manner, and can also record the displayed contents on recording paper for use.

An interior light 39 for illuminating the heating room is connected between the connection point between the door switch 1 and the door switch 22 .

Each of the relays (main relay 28, cooking switching relay 29, lower heater 34 selection relay 33, and relays 2t, ss) is supplied with a control signal from the main control unit 40 and is controlled to be turned on or off. The main control section 40 includes a microcomputer 41 and a power supply circuit 42. Relay drive circuit 43. It is composed of peripheral circuits such as a keyboard circuit 44. The power supply circuit 42 includes the AC power supply 2
0 to heats 2, magnetron thermal switch 2
AC power is supplied through the microcomputer 41. It is supplied to the relay drive circuit 43 and the DC-DC converter 47 of the display device 46. A timing signal for detecting a selected key is supplied from the microcomputer 41 to the operating unit 48 via the keyboard circuit 44. When a key is pressed by the cook, the selected key is detected by the keyboard circuit 44, and the selected key is detected. The output of the keyboard circuit 44 is transmitted to the microcomputer 4.
1. A cooking program corresponding to the selected key is then executed by the microcomputer 41. That is, the output of the microcomputer 41 is supplied to each of the relays through the relay drive circuit 43, and these relays are controlled to be turned on or off. At this time, when automatic cooking is selected by the operation unit 48 and the menu is determined, the microcomputer 41 sends the DC-D
A display signal is supplied to the C converter 47 and the display drive circuit 49 to which the output of the DC-DC converter is supplied, and the display drive circuit 497 drives the CRT display section 14 to perform display. When the print key 18 is pressed, the microcomputer 41 supplies a print signal to a printing device, such as a printer 50, so that the content displayed on the CRT display section 14 is displayed. The storage device stored in the microcomputer 41 stores cooking programs for various menus and cooking programs corresponding to the cooking programs, such as cooking ingredients 2, how to make them, tips, calories, vitamin content, etc.

The operation in the above configuration will be explained.

When the microcomputer 41 determines that the cooking selection key 15 is pressed by the cook to select automatic cooking and the menu is selected by the automatic cooking key 16, the microcomputer 41 stores the DC data from the storage device of the personal computer 41. - Stored information (corresponding to the cooking content of the selected menu) is supplied to the DC converter 471 display drive circuit 49, and the CRT
The cooking contents are displayed on the display section 14. Now, for example, if macaroni gratin is selected as a menu, C
As shown in FIG. 4, the RT display section 14 displays a menu (
Macaroni gratin), ingredients (4 servings), calories, vitamin content, recipe, and date are displayed. When the print key 18 is pressed, the printer 50 is driven by the microcomputer 41, and the CR
The cooking contents displayed on the T display section 14 are recorded on the recording paper 19h, and the paper is ejected from the recording paper outlet 19. Therefore, the cook can cook (including preparation) while looking at the cooking details displayed on the CRT display section 14, so there is no need to check the cooking details using a cookbook or menu capsule. Also, when you go to buy ingredients for cooking, use a recording paper.
You don't have to take notes because you just need to bring 9a with you.
0- If you write the price of flea materials in the margin of 191L of recording paper and paste it in the household account book, you can save the trouble of transcription. With Sarazeko, you can see the calories and vitamin intake of your meals without having to do any troublesome calculations, so you can improve your eating habits.

Next, when the cooking ingredients have been prepared and the food to be cooked is stored in the heating chamber and the cooking switch 17 is pressed, the relay drive circuit 43 Each of the relays is controlled on and off through the relays to start cooking. For example, when cooking in an oven, the main relay 28 is turned on, the movable contact 29c of the cooking switching relay 29 is connected to the normally open fixed contact 29a, and the upper heater 3
The relay 24 for selecting the second heater 34 or the relay 33 for selecting the lower heater 34 is controlled on/off to control energization of the heaters 32 and 34. At this time, relay 35 is off.

On the other hand, when performing microwave cooking, the main relay 28
is turned on, the movable contact 29c of the cooking switching relay 29 is connected to the normally closed fixed contact 29b, and the relay 24 is turned on.
Relay 33 is off.

Relay 35 is turned on. Therefore, the AC power supply 20 is supplied to the high frequency oscillation circuit 25, and high frequency waves are generated from the magnetron 31 to perform microwave cooking.

In the above embodiment, the amount of cooking ingredients for the standard number of people is only stored in advance in the storage device of the microcomputer 41. If the amount is converted and displayed according to the number of people, cooking can be made even easier.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, there is provided a cooking appliance that can display cooking contents corresponding to a menu selected by a cook in an easy-to-see manner, and can also record the displayed contents on a recording paper for use.
