Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a heating degree display device for each menu of objects to be heated in a microwave oven having a built-in electric heater.

Generally, with electric ovens, the temperature inside the oven is preheated, then the temperature is set again according to the menu, and the type of heater (
The user selects the top heater only, the bottom heater only, the top and bottom heaters, etc., selects whether the food is placed on the top shelf, middle shelf, or bottom shelf, and sets the time using the timer.

In this case, the weight, water content, initial temperature, etc. of the food are usually not very important. On the other hand, with a microwave oven, you simply place the food inside the oven and set a strict time. In other words, in the case of a microwave oven,
The initial temperature of the food, moisture content, and weight of the food subtly affected the time setting. In other words, it is cooking in seconds.
Therefore, when using a device that combines a microwave oven and an electric oven, which have completely different functions when using them,
Those who used it often caused confusion and failure.

One example is the invention of two time scales and two pointers on each side of the menu drum for a device that combines a microwave oven and an electric oven, as shown in Tsubaki Sekiaki's $-5-5 Job Publication No. 30. From the point of view of actual users, the electric oven function requires a time scale, and it is difficult to use unless it is displayed in correspondence with the menu table. Also,
Even if you think about using only an electric oven, there are many differences for general users, such as differences in temperature settings, classification of heaters, use of shelves, differences in heating time, etc. for each menu of heated items. It required skill and often led to failures such as overheating, burning, and insufficient phosphorus. Therefore, the present invention provides a high-frequency heater with a temperature detection mechanism for the heated object, an operation part, and a temperature setting adjustment knob, and a built-in electric oven that can control the temperature of the heated object. It is an object of the present invention to provide a device that combines a heating degree display device and a cooking time and cooking temperature setting device to easily, reliably and effectively cook food. An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 1, the main body of the high-frequency heater with a built-in electric heater has a door that is supported by a ball so that the opening of the heating chamber can be opened and closed.
There is an operation panel 2 nearby.

The operation panel 2 has two types of timers with different heating times.
Setting knobs 3 and 4 (for long-term use and short-time use), 5 internal temperature setting knob when using electric heater, and display section 6 for menus, etc.
There is. Next, the display section 6, which is the main part of the present invention, will be described.

Inside the transparent plate, there is a menu heating degree display section 7 for the object to be heated.
, a long-time scale part 8 for the object to be heated, a short-time timer knob 3, a pointer A that moves to the temperature setting knob, and a pointer B that moves in conjunction with the long-term timer knob 4. Further, near the cam portion 9 on the extension of the menu heating degree display portion 6, there is a switch 10 for selecting the type of cooking and the type of electric heater.
On the Ikegata extension part of the menu heating degree display part 6, there is. There is a knob 10 that allows for variable operation from the outside. Various methods can be considered for this variable means mechanism, and for example, in addition to the dial mechanism shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, there are a switching lever, a knob, and a bevel gear, a transmission mechanism, and the like. As for the structure of the display section 7 itself, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, in addition to the rotating drum type, a belt type, a film type, etc. can be considered. Next, the menu heating degree display section 7 will be described.

When using a high-frequency heater with a built-in electric heater, it is first necessary to select the type of food. So let's talk about the types of dishes. As a high-frequency heater, there are ``A cooking and reheating'' using high heat, ``B thawing and egg cooking'' using low heat, and ``C stew cooking'' using high and low heat. In addition, electric ovens can be used for cooking with only the d upper heater, cooking with the e lower heater only, cooking with both the g and lower heaters, cooking with the upper heater at full power, b grill cooking, and using the fermentation circuit. There are ``1-fermented foods'' such as yogurt and bread. Next, it is necessary to select a means of operating the device.

In the case of a high-frequency heater, the selection of the output and the time setting means for correct speed-of-second cooking, and in the case of an electric oven,
First, preheat the inside of the oven, set the new temperature according to each menu, select the type of heater, select the upper, middle, or lower shelf for the food, and set the time using the timer. do. In this case, the weight, moisture content, initial temperature, etc. of the food are usually not very important. On the other hand, high-frequency heating devices have a subtle influence on the time setting. Therefore, when using these devices, users often get confused and make mistakes because they are devices that combine two functions that have completely different functions.

Therefore, in the present invention, the menu heating degree display device 7 first displays the type of dish (above-mentioned A to h) on the knurled knob 1.
Select in 2.

For example, like the oven dish shown in Figure 2. At this time, the cam section 10 at the other end moves the selection switch 10 for the type of cooking and the type of heater to switch the output.

Next, we will discuss the display of menus, etc.

The menu arrangement may be appropriately selected based on frequency of use, type of cuisine, and degree of heating.

Also, for oven dishes, the type of heater for each menu,
If you write down the type of shelf, the setting time scale, whether or not heating is required, and precautions for heating (e.g., ``Spread salad oil on an open plate and heat it at 250q0.''), etc. Needless to say, it's good. Also, in the case of high-frequency heaters, the presence or absence of wraps and lids, and whether they are necessary, etc., should be written to serve as a guideline for the user. Next, a menu heating degree display device 7 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

** In Figure 2, the title of the type of cooking is "Oven cooking (using upper and lower heaters)" 1
2 and a menu name display section 13, there are a time display section 14, a temperature display section 15, a "Usage Guidelines" title section 16, usage guideline arrow sections 17 and 18, and a temperature scale section 19. In FIG. 3, the short time scale section 20 on the menu heating degree display section 7 shows "Stewed Dishes".

The following table is a correspondence table of operations of the present invention according to the types of dishes A to 1, and describes which pointer and scale part to use.

As explained above, high-frequency heaters with built-in electric heaters are
Temperature scale section, time scale section, menu heating degree display device,
Each has its own pointer and setting knob.
The following effects can be expected.

1 There is no selection knob for the type of electric heater, and the menu can be switched using the knurled knob 11 on the menu heating degree display device 7, so it is possible to switch the menu when selecting the type of electric heater.
Select the type of menu in either case, electric open,
The basic operation of aligning the pointer with the information display section necessary for the menu can be maintained consistently, and even beginners do not need to be familiar with it, and it becomes a scale setting device that does not require memorization.

2. Since each menu type is displayed separately from A to F, the big difference between using a microwave oven and an electric oven (with an electric oven, the internal temperature is important, and with a microwave oven, time is important) is clear. Misunderstandings can be prevented, and since the cooking information is selectively displayed for each type of menu, the user can respond in an orderly manner without confusion.

3. Since each menu type is displayed, it is possible to provide judgment guidelines for selecting and analogizing the temperature setting for similar menus.

4. Since there is an instruction section where the necessary information is located for each menu, you can set the time and temperature extremely easily and reliably by simply adjusting the setting section such as a knob there.

5. Cooking time and cooking temperature settings can be set automatically without the need to search for a cookbook, study it, or look at a menu table (for example, placed on the top of the product).

6 Even when cooking in the oven, which is extremely time-consuming, by adding a menu heating degree display device, all the information necessary for the cooking procedure, such as cooking time, preheating temperature, cooking temperature, cooking time, and shelf position used, can be displayed. You can even write it down.

7. Since there are only two pointers, the number of parts (scale parts) that can be matched is two at most, so there is no confusion.

In other words, as shown in the table above (table on page 9), the scale part is 3
There are two points (short-time scale, temperature scale, long-time scale), but there are two pointers and up to two corresponding scales depending on the type of food.
and there is no confusion. 8. Since it is equipped with a usage knob or a usage pointer arrow indicating device, the selection of the needle and setting knob can be done on the same screen, allowing for easy and reliable settings.
