The bottom plate 54 of the heating chamber 50 is provided with a mounting table 57 that covers the opening 55 formed in the bottom plate 54. The mounting table 57 is made of a ceramic that easily transmits microwaves, which will be described later.

A waveguide 72 is attached to the bottom plate 54 of the heating chamber 50. An antenna 71 connected to a magnetron 70 that oscillates microwaves is installed in the waveguide 72. The microwave oscillated by the magnetron 70 is irradiated from the antenna 71, propagates through the waveguide 72, and is radiated into the heating chamber 50 to heat the object to be heated 200. In the waveguide 72 on the lower side of the mounting table 57, for example, a lower heater 73 made of a sheathed heater is arranged to heat the object to be heated 200 housed inside the heating chamber 50. A glass tube heater (not shown) for heating the object to be heated 200 is installed on the back plate of the heating chamber 50. The magnetron 70, the upper heater 60, the lower heater 73, and the glass tube heater described above constitute a heating means for heating the object to be heated 200.

The key determination means 40 determines which key has been operated from the signals output from the heating selection key group 32, the finish key group 33, the time setting key group 34, the start key 35, the pick key 36, and the voice key 37. , The instruction information based on the signal from the determined key is input to the control circuit 41. The control circuit 41 controls the heater driving means 45, the magnetron driving means 44, the display unit 31, and the voice notification means 38 based on the instruction information from the key determining means 40. Further, a door open / close detecting means 46 for detecting the opening / closing of the door 20 is connected to the control circuit 41.

The control circuit 41 controls the magnetron driving means 44 so that microwaves are oscillated from the magnetron 70 when the range key 321 is turned on. When the range grill key 322 is turned on, the control circuit 41 controls the magnetron driving means 44 as described above, and subsequently, the heater driving means 45 is energized so that the upper heater 60 and the glass tube heater are energized.

The control circuit 41 has a function of switching control means, and includes a timer 42 and a memory 43. The timer 42 is used to measure the operation interval time of the voice key 37, the heating time, and the like. The memory 43 stores voice data for notifying the operation method of the voice switching setting emitted from the voice notification means 38 by voice in response to the on operation of the voice key 37. The contents of the switching setting include switching of the volume of the notification voice of the voice notification means 38 (hereinafter, referred to as "first switching setting") and switching of the speaking speed of the voice emitted from the voice notification means (hereinafter, "second switching setting"). "Switching setting"), switching with or without voice guidance (hereinafter referred to as "third switching setting"), and the like.

Each time the voice key 37 is turned on, the control circuit 41 voices so as to sequentially notify the operation method of the first switching setting, the second switching setting, and the third switching setting, which are different switching settings, by voice. The notification means 38 is controlled, and the voice notification means 38 notifies the operation method of the switching setting by voice. Further, when the interval between the on-operations of the voice key 37 is shorter than the preset set time (for example, 5 seconds), the control circuit 41 has a different first switching setting, second switching setting, and third switching. The voice notification means 38 is controlled so that the operation method of the setting is sequentially notified by voice, and the operation method of the switching setting is notified by voice from the voice notification means 38. Further, when the interval between the on-operations of the voice key 37 is longer than the above-mentioned 5 seconds, the control circuit 41 makes a voice notification again from the operation method of the first switching setting when the voice key 37 is first operated. The voice notification means 38 is controlled, and the voice notification means 38 notifies the operation method of the switching setting by voice.

Next, the setting for switching the notification voice in the cooking cooker 100 configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the switching setting in the cooking device of FIG.
When the voice key 37 is turned on (step S1) in the standby state in which the heating cooker 100 is not used, the control circuit 41 operates the first switching setting for switching the volume of the notification voice of the voice notification means 38 (step S1). For example, the voice notification means 38 is controlled so that the voice notification means (pressing the voice key for 2 seconds) is notified by voice, and the operation method of the first switching setting from the voice notification means 38 (for example, "To set the volume, press the voice key." Press for 2 seconds. ”) Is announced by voice (step S2). Then, the control circuit 41 determines whether or not the voice key 37 has been turned on (step S3), and when it does not detect the voice key 37 on operation, it waits in this step S3, but the voice key 37 is turned on. When it is detected, it is determined from the measurement time of the timer 42 whether or not 5 seconds have elapsed from the on operation of the voice key 37 in step S1 (step S4).
If the on operation of the voice key 37 is continued for 2 seconds in step S3, the on operation of the voice key 37 in step S1 is performed when the on operation of the voice key 37 is detected in step S3 as described above. Depending on the elapsed time from, the process proceeds to step S2 or step S5 to notify the operation method of the switching setting, but when the on operation of the voice key 37 in step S3 is continued for 2 seconds, in step S2 or step S5. Suspends the processing of and shifts to the volume setting mode. As described above, this volume setting mode is a mode in which the volume can be set by operating the finish adjustment plus key 331 or the finish adjustment minus key 332. Further, in step S1, when the on operation state of the voice key 37 is continued for 2 seconds, the process proceeds to step S2, but when the on operation of the voice key 37 in step S1 is continued for 2 seconds, the step S2 is performed. The process is interrupted and the mode shifts to the volume setting mode described above.

When the on operation of the voice key 37 has elapsed 5 seconds from the on operation of the voice key 37 in step S1, the control circuit 41 returns to step S2 and again notifies the operation method of the first switching setting by voice. The voice notification means 38 is controlled so that the voice notification means 38 notifies the operation method of the first switching setting by voice. On the other hand, when the control circuit 41 detects that the voice key 37 is turned on before 5 seconds have elapsed from the on operation of the voice key 37 in step S1, the operation method of the second switching setting for switching the voice speaking speed (for example, The voice notification means 38 is controlled so that the voice notification means (continuous operation of 3 times of 1 minute key and 1 time of finish adjustment minus key) is notified by voice, and the operation method of the second switching setting from the voice notification means 38 (for example, "speaking speed" To set, press the 1-minute key 3 times and the minus key 1 time in succession. ”) Is announced by voice (step S5). Then, the control circuit 41 determines whether or not the voice key 37 has been turned on (step S6), and when it does not detect the voice key 37 on operation, it waits in this step S6, but the voice key 37 is turned on. When it is detected, it is determined from the measurement time of the timer 42 whether or not 5 seconds have elapsed from the on operation of the voice key 37 in step S3 (step S7).
If the 1-minute key is pressed three times and the minus key is pressed once after the notification of the operation method of the second switching setting (step S5), the determination in step S6 is interrupted and talk is performed. Shift to speed setting mode. As described above, this speaking speed setting mode is a mode in which the speaking speed can be set by operating the finish adjustment plus key 331 or the finish adjustment minus key 332.

When the on operation of the voice key 37 has elapsed 5 seconds from the on operation of the voice key 37 in step S3, the control circuit 41 returns to step S2 and again notifies the operation method of the first switching setting by voice. The voice notification means 38 is controlled so that the voice notification means 38 notifies the operation method of the first switching setting by voice. On the other hand, when the control circuit 41 detects that the voice key 37 is turned on before 5 seconds have elapsed from the on operation of the voice key 37 in step S3, the operation method of the third switching setting for switching the presence / absence of the voice guide (for example, The voice notification means 38 is controlled so that the voice notification means (continuous operation of 5 minutes key 3 times and finish adjustment minus key 1 time) is notified by voice, and the operation method of the third switching setting from the voice notification means 38 (for example, "Voice navigation" To set to None, press the 5-minute key three times and the minus key once in succession. ”) Is announced by voice (step S8).

Then, the control circuit 41 determines whether or not the voice key 37 has been turned on (step S9), and when it does not detect the voice key 37 on operation, the above-described operation is terminated, but the voice key 37 is turned on. When it is detected, the process returns to step S2, the voice notification means 38 is controlled so as to notify the operation method of the first switching setting by voice again, and the operation method of the first switching setting is performed by voice from the voice notification means 38. Notify.

As described above, in the first embodiment, each time the voice key 37 is turned on, the operation methods of the first switching setting, the second switching setting, and the third switching setting, which are different switching settings, are sequentially performed. I am trying to notify by voice. In this way, by simply turning on the voice key 37, it is easy to understand the operation method and setting state of various setting operations, and the switching operation method of the voice volume and the speaking speed for notifying the heating state of the object to be heated. The operation method of switching the presence / absence of the voice guide can be easily understood, and the usability of the cooking cooker 100 is improved.

Similar to the first embodiment, the control circuit 41 in the second embodiment has a first switching setting, a second switching setting, and a third switching setting, which are different switching settings each time the voice key 37 is turned on. The voice notification means 38 is controlled so that the operation method of the switching setting is sequentially notified by voice, and the voice notification means 38 notifies the operation method of the switching setting of the volume, the speaking speed, and the voice guide by voice.

When the interval between the on-operations of the voice key 37 is shorter than, for example, 5 seconds, which is preset, the control circuit 41 sequentially performs different first switching settings, second switching settings, and third switching settings. The voice notification means 38 is controlled so as to notify by voice, and the voice notification means 38 notifies the operation method of the volume, the speaking speed, and the switching setting of the voice guide by voice. Further, when the interval between the on-operations of the voice key 37 is longer than the above-mentioned 5 seconds, the control circuit 41 is a voice notification means so as to notify the operation method of the same switching setting as when the voice key 37 is turned on by voice again. 38 is controlled, and the voice notification means 38 again notifies the operation method of the switching setting by voice.

Further, the control circuit 41 returns to the initial state when the take key 36 is turned on after notifying the operation method of the first switching setting, the second switching setting, and the third switching setting by voice, and then returns to the initial state. When the voice key 37 is turned on, the operation method of the first switching setting is notified by voice. The difference from the first embodiment is that the operation method of the same switching setting is notified by voice every time the voice key 37 is received at intervals of 5 seconds or more until the pick key 36 is received.
