Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a cooking menu display device used when selecting the cooking contents of a heating cooker.

Conventional structure and its problems Conventionally, in microwave ovens and open cookers equipped with automatic cooking functions, there is a display panel showing various cooking menus, and keys or switches corresponding to each cooking menu. The common configuration is that by selecting a specific cooking menu and operating the corresponding key or switch, a preset heating cooking procedure is started inside the cooking device.

According to this configuration, the cooking menu can be selected easily by looking at the fixed display panel, and all that is required is the operation of a key or switch, which has the advantage of being simple and quick to start operation. ” - is limited to the display area of the bowl, so there was a drawback that it was not possible to increase the number of cooking menus to select. Unfortunately, in order to increase the number of cooking menus that must be selected, the displayed content must be displayed in small letters, and the corresponding keys or switches are also small and densely arranged, making them difficult to read and operate. The drawback was that it became difficult.

In recent years, the combination of microcomputers (hereinafter referred to as microcomputers) and sensors has further increased the storage capacity of microcomputers.
;With the increase in l, the number of automatic cooking combinations has increased dramatically 11 (]
Increasingly, there is a growing desire to realize more advanced cooking by setting a unique cooking value for each material that is to be adjusted to pH 6.
! 11 menus are no longer sufficient.

As one 111 configuration corresponding to this, there is a configuration in which automatic cooking is performed by reading cooking conditions pre-programmed into the heating cooker using a magnetic device or a heating device F'.

This number of grooves makes it extremely troublesome to select one card for a specific preparation from among multiple magnetic cards, etc., and since the cards are separated from the cooking water body, there is a risk of loss or loss. 1LJh, there were storage problems such as damage.

In addition, as another configuration, there is a leaf-type cooking menu display device in which a large number of cooking menu display cards are built into the left operation panel and are sequentially reversed to select a specific cooking menu among them. After detecting the position of the rotating body that reverses the selected card, the rotating body continues to rotate in only one direction until the selected card is in the display position, so it takes too long to display the card, and it is difficult to hold the card on the rotating axis. Because of the structure in which the display card is rotated by hand, there are problems such as the display card being located in the back, making it difficult to see, and the device itself requiring a considerable amount of space.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the conventional art.It is an object of the present invention to display a large number of cooking menus extremely quickly within a certain display area and close to the surface thereof, making the display contents easy to see and easy to operate. The object of the present invention is to provide a simple and convenient display device for a cooking device.

In order to achieve the object described in item 1 of "Structure of the Invention", the display device of the heating cooker of the present invention has a plurality of film-like cooking charts in which a large number of cooking menus are listed, and a plurality of transparent windows of the plurality of cylinders. ] placed in close proximity to the display panel that displays the
1' and a driving device 11'' for driving any one of the sheets;
and a cooking table selection device that controls this drive device.
A transparent part or opening is provided between one cooking menu listed in each cooking menu and the other cooking menu below it. The transparent windows of the display panel are arranged to face each other, and only when any one of the cooking appliances is selected and driven, the cooking menu written on the cooking appliance is displayed through the transparent windows of the display panel. It is quick and easy to use, and the number of cooking devices or cooking menus can be easily increased or reduced as required, and it has the advantage of being able to accommodate any number of cooking menus.

Embodiment 1 Etsume Hereinafter, an embodiment of Embodiment 1 will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an external view of a microwave oven incorporating a display device according to the present invention, and the operating section 1 is a fluorescent display that displays the time, cooking time, etc., as shown in FIG. Alternatively, a liquid crystal display panel 2, a cooking device selection key device 3, a cooking menu display board 4, a cooking menu selection button 5, etc. are arranged on the front side.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the display contents of the cooking device when the leftmost key 3a of the group of keys of the cooking chart selection key device 3 is selected.

Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the interior of the display unit in an exploded state.
The display board 4 is formed by leaving a plurality of transparent windows 4a at regular intervals on a transparent resin plate or a transparent plate glass, and forming opaque parts 4b by printing or the like.

Cooking devices 6a to 6e structure 1j are printed with cooking menu names on film or paper, and an opening 7 is provided below each cooking menu name, and the size of this opening is determined according to the display plate 4. The transparent windows 4a have approximately the same size, and the arrangement thereof is equal to the interval between the transparent windows 4a. Note that if the opening 7 of the cooking device is left as is by using a transparent film or the like and simply leaving the cooking device transparent as a margin for printing, the same result as with the opening can be obtained.
