It includes 41, a display means 42 for displaying various information including a determination result by the control means 41, and an operation means 43 for inputting various information including setting conditions and the like.

That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the control means 41 that controls the heating means 11 so that the desired cooking is performed on all the objects to be heated a stored in the cooking chamber 2 is the heating means 11. In addition, the first core temperature detecting means 31a, the second core temperature detecting means 31b, the third core temperature detecting means 31c, the room temperature detecting means 32, the display means 42, and the operating means 43 are connected. The display operation unit 45 is composed of the display means 42 and the operation means 43, and the display operation unit 45 is provided at a position on the front surface of the apparatus main body 3 that is easy for an operator to see.

The display operation unit 45 is as shown in FIG. 4, for example, and the display means 42 is composed of a vertically long rectangular liquid crystal panel 46 having a longitudinal direction in the vertical direction.

The operation means 43 is composed of operation buttons which are a plurality of operation units, and includes a hot air button (hot air heating mode button) 51, a combination button (hot air and steam heating mode button) 52, and a steam button (steam). It has a heating mode button) 53, a temperature button 54, a time button 55, and a core temperature button (display switching means) 56. The three operation buttons, the hot air button 51, the combination button 52, and the steam button 53, are selected for selecting the heating mode (heating with hot air only, heating with hot air and steam, or heating with steam only). It is an operating means.

The operation means 43 includes a rotary dial button 57 that also serves as a decision button, a stop button 58, a preheating button (preheating start operation means) 59, an operation button 60, a step button (combination operation means) 61, and a recipe. It has a button 62, an air volume button 63, a humidification button 64, a cooling button 65, a function button 66, and a power button 67.

Next, the operation of the cooking apparatus 1 and the like will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 18. It should be noted that each of these figures shows an example of a screen displayed on the display means 42 of the display operation unit 45.

First, the control means 41 of the cooking apparatus 1 is provided with a check function (hereinafter, referred to as “HACCP check function”) for determining whether or not the setting conditions for HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) are satisfied. When the function is turned on and cooking is performed, the operator operates the operation means 43 such as the function button 66 to set the setting conditions of the HACCP check function in advance.

This setting condition is a condition that the detection temperature of a plurality of (for example, three or more) core temperature detecting means 31 is maintained at or above the set core temperature for at least the set maintenance time. Specifically, for example, the condition is that "each of the three detection temperatures (core temperatures) is maintained at 80 ° C. or higher for 60 seconds or longer". If the HACCP check function is turned off, the function does not work, and the control means 41 does not determine whether or not the detection temperature of each core temperature detecting means 31 satisfies the set condition.

First, the case of time cooking will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 8.

The screen of FIG. 5 (a) is a screen displaying the previous set value (including the heating mode), and when the time cooking is performed this time, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), the operator is an operating means. The heating mode (for example, "hot air"), the room temperature which is the heating temperature (for example, "280 ° C."), and the heating time (for example, "20:00") are set by operating 43.

The screen of FIG. 5B has a heating mode display unit 70, a room temperature display unit 71, a time display unit 72, and a core temperature display unit 73. Then, the set heating mode is displayed on the heating mode display unit 70. The room temperature display unit 71 displays the current room temperature of the cooking room 2 and the set room temperature. The time display unit 72 displays the remaining heating time at the present time and the set heating time. The core temperature display unit 73 displays the characters “HACCP” indicating that the HACCP check function is on, and the current detection temperature.

In this standby state, since the core temperature detecting means 31 is not set for the object to be heated a, the current detection temperature (each detected temperature by the three core temperature detecting means 31) matches the room temperature. ing. When the HACCP check function is off, nothing is displayed on the core temperature display unit 73.

Next, when the operator operates the preheating button 59, as shown in FIG. 5C, the characters "preheating" are displayed, and the preheating is started by the operation of the heating means 11, and the preheating is started in the cooking room 2. The room temperature rises.

Then, when the room temperature of the cooking room 2 reaches the set room temperature (set heating temperature), which is the target temperature, the characters “preheating end” are displayed and the preheating is completed, as shown in FIG. 6 (d). In addition, an alarm sounds to notify the operator that the preheating is completed.

Next, the worker who knew that the preheating was completed stored the heated object a, which is a plurality of foodstuffs, in the cooking room 2 in a state where the opening / closing door 7 was opened and the cooking room 2 was opened. The needle portions 35 of the first to third core temperature detecting means 31a, 31b, and 31c are pierced into the three separated objects a to be heated (see FIG. 1). In addition, all the heated objects a stored in the cooking chamber 2 are arranged in the three heated objects a in which the needle portions 35 of the first to third core temperature detecting means 31a, 31b, 31c are pierced. It is preferable that they are arranged at a plurality of places where heating is slow.

Then, the worker who stores the object to be heated a in the cooking room 2 closes the opening / closing door 7 and then operates the operation button 60.

Then, as shown in FIG. 6E, the characters “cooking” are displayed, and cooking for the object to be heated a is started. Then, on the screen of FIG. 6 (e), one of the lowest detection temperatures (for example, "66 ° C.") among the three detection temperatures by the three first to third core temperature detection means 31a, 31b, and 31c at the present time is displayed. ") Is displayed on the core temperature display unit 73. As a result, it can be seen that all the objects to be heated a that are cooked in the cooking chamber 2 are heated to at least the detection temperature displayed at the present time.

However, when the operator presses and holds the core temperature button 56 for a long time, as shown in FIG. 6 (f), the current three first to third core temperature detecting means 31a, 31b, 31c 3 are used. All of the two detected temperatures are displayed on the core temperature display unit 73 at the same time. As a result, the current detection temperatures can be known at three different positions in all the objects to be heated a that are cooked in the cooking chamber 2, and the heating states of all the objects a to be heated can be known in more detail. ing. If the core temperature button 56 is pressed and held again, the display mode returns from the plurality of display modes to the original single display mode.

In this way, by operating the core temperature button 56, a state in which all the detected temperatures of the plurality of core temperature detecting means 31 are displayed (multiple display modes) and a state in which the lowest detected temperature among them is displayed (single). The display mode) can be selectively switched.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6 (f), the core temperature display unit 73 on the screen includes the current detection temperature (core temperature) by the first to third core temperature detecting means 31a, 31b, 31c, and the current time. A judgment result (positive judgment result) as to whether or not the detection temperature up to the above satisfies the setting condition of the HACCP check function (for example, maintaining 80 ° C. or higher for 60 seconds or longer) is also displayed.

In the screen of FIG. 6 (f), for example, at the time of "remaining 1 minute 07 seconds", the two detection temperatures by the second core temperature detecting means 31b and the third core temperature detecting means 31c satisfy the setting conditions. Therefore, the characters "OK" are displayed in the corresponding two places. As a result, it is possible to know to what extent all the objects to be heated a that are being cooked are cooked that satisfy the set conditions at the present time.

Here, when the preset heating time (for example, "20:00") has elapsed and the temperature detected by the first core temperature detecting means 31a does not satisfy the setting condition (20 minutes if it is satisfied). (The operation of the heating means 11 is stopped at the elapsed time), as shown in FIG. 7 (g), the heating time is extended for a maximum of 3 minutes. However, if the setting condition is satisfied before the elapse of these three minutes, the character "OK" is displayed at that point, and the operation of the heating means 11 is stopped.

As described above, when the control means 41 determines that at least one of the detection temperatures of the plurality of core temperature detection means 31 does not satisfy the setting condition, the predetermined control, that is, for example, all three detection temperatures are released. Unless the set conditions are satisfied, the heating time is extended by a predetermined time (for example, 3 minutes). As a result, if the object to be heated a that has been heated and substantially satisfies the set conditions becomes one that completely satisfies the set conditions in a short time, the operator cooks again after the cooking is completed. It is possible to save the trouble of doing the above as much as possible.

On the screen of FIG. 7 (g), for example, when the heating is extended for "2 minutes and 24 seconds", the detection temperature by the first core temperature detecting means 31a reaches the set condition, so that it corresponds to the three core temperature detecting means 31. Three "OK" characters are displayed.

Then, when the operation of the heating means 11 is stopped and the heating is completed, as shown in FIG. 7 (h), the characters "cooking completed" are displayed, and the fan 18 is displayed only for, for example, "30 seconds". Exhaust air is performed by the operation.

In this way, when the cooking based on the time cooking is completed, the cooking result is displayed on the cooking result display unit 75 as shown in FIG. 7 (i).

Specifically, as cooking results of time cooking, for example, date, recipe type, heating mode, set room temperature (set temperature), set heating time (set time), start time, cooking time (including exhaust time) , HACCP check function setting conditions, the judgment result of the detection temperature of each of the three core temperature detecting means (core temperature gauges 1 to 3), the maximum temperature by each of the three core temperature detecting means (core temperature gauges 1 to 3), etc. Is displayed. As a result, the operator can reliably record the fact that the object to be heated a, which has been cooked, is heated based on the setting conditions of the HACCP check function by copying it in a document or the like. It has become.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, even if 30 seconds of exhaust air elapse after the heating time is extended for 3 minutes, the detection temperature by the first core temperature detecting means 31a is a setting condition. If the value is not reached, the character "NG" is displayed as a negative judgment result.

However, the detection temperature may reach the set condition during the exhaust air for 30 seconds, and in this case, it is "OK". As described above, even if the heating means 11 is stopped, the HACCP check function is continued as long as the heat worthy of cooking is applied to the object to be heated a in the cooking chamber 2.

When the HACCP check function is off, cooking is performed for a set heating time, and then air is exhausted for 30 seconds to complete cooking.

Next, the case of core temperature cooking will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 11.

The screen of FIG. 9A is a screen displaying the previous set value (including the heating mode), and the operator operates the screen as shown in FIG. 9B when performing the core temperature cooking this time. The means 43 is operated to set a heating mode (for example, "hot air"), a room temperature which is a heating temperature (for example, "280 ° C."), and a core temperature (for example, "85 ° C.").

The screen of FIG. 9B has a heating mode display unit 80, a room temperature display unit 81, a core temperature display unit 82, and a time display unit 83. Then, the set heating mode is displayed on the heating mode display unit 80. The room temperature display unit 81 displays the current room temperature of the cooking room 2 and the set room temperature. On the core temperature display unit 82, the characters "HACCP" indicating that the HACCP check function is on, the current detection temperature (which matches the room temperature because the core temperature gauge is not installed), and the set core temperature are displayed. Is displayed. The time display unit 83 displays the heating time (elapsed heating time) for the object to be heated a.

Next, when the operator operates the preheating button 59, as shown in FIG. 9C, the characters “preheating” are displayed, and the preheating is started by the operation of the heating means 11, and the preheating is started in the cooking room 2. The room temperature rises.

Then, when the room temperature of the cooking room 2 reaches the set room temperature, which is the target temperature, the characters “preheating end” are displayed and the preheating is completed, as shown in FIG. 10 (d). In addition, an alarm sounds to notify the operator that the preheating is completed.

Next, the worker who knew that the preheating was completed stored the heated object a, which is a plurality of foodstuffs, in the cooking room 2 in a state where the opening / closing door 7 was opened and the cooking room 2 was opened. The needle portions 35 of the first to third core temperature detecting means 31a, 31b, and 31c are pierced into the three separated objects a to be heated (see FIG. 1). It is preferable that each of the three objects a to be heated, which are pierced by the needle portions 35 of the first to third core temperature detecting means 31a, 31b, and 31c, are arranged in the same manner as in the case of time cooking.

Then, the worker who stores the object to be heated a in the cooking room 2 closes the opening / closing door 7 and then operates the operation button 60.

Then, as shown in FIG. 10 (e), the characters "cooking" are displayed, and cooking for the object to be heated a is started. Then, on the screen of FIG. 10 (e), one of the lowest detection temperatures (for example, "66 ° C.") among the three detection temperatures by the three first to third core temperature detection means 31a, 31b, and 31c at the present time is displayed. ") Is displayed on the core temperature display unit 82. As a result, it can be seen that all the objects to be heated a that are cooked in the cooking chamber 2 are heated to at least the detection temperature displayed at the present time.

However, as in the case of the time cooking described above, by operating the core temperature button 56, it is possible to switch from one of the single display mode and the plurality of display modes to any of the other, and the HACCP check. The judgment result of whether or not the function setting condition (for example, maintaining 80 ° C. or higher for 60 seconds or longer) is also displayed.

Then, as the cooking progresses, as shown in FIG. 10 (f), for example, when the heating time is "18 minutes 53 seconds", the lowest detected temperature among the three is the set core temperature in the core temperature cooking (for example,). Even if “85 ° C.”) is reached, the maximum is set as in the case of time cooking described above, as shown in FIG. 11 (g), unless all three detection temperatures satisfy the setting conditions of the HACCP check function. The heating time, which is the time (for example, 3 minutes), is extended.

On the screen of FIG. 11 (g), for example, when the heating is extended for "60 seconds", the lowest detection temperature reaches the setting condition of the HACCP check function, so that the character "OK" is displayed.

Then, when the operation of the heating means 11 is stopped and the heating is completed, as shown in FIG. 11 (h), the characters "cooking completed" are displayed, and the fan 18 is displayed only for, for example, "30 seconds". Exhaust air is performed by the operation.

In this way, when the cooking based on the core temperature cooking is completed, the cooking result is displayed on the cooking result display unit 85 as shown in FIG. 11 (i).

Specifically, as cooking results of core temperature cooking, for example, date, recipe type, heating mode, set room temperature (set temperature), set core temperature, start time, cooking time (including exhaust time), HACCP check Function setting conditions, the determination result of the detection temperature of each of the three core temperature detecting means (core temperature gauges 1 to 3), the maximum temperature by each of the three core temperature detecting means (core temperature gauges 1 to 3), etc. are displayed. .. As a result, the worker can surely record and keep a record by copying in a document or the like that the object to be heated a that has been cooked is heated based on the setting conditions of the HACCP check function. You can do it. When the HACCP check function is off, cooking is performed until the detection temperature of the core temperature detecting means 31 reaches the set core temperature, and then the air is exhausted for 30 seconds to complete the cooking.

Even when the HACCP check function is on, when the set core temperature in the core temperature cooking is lower than the set core temperature in the setting condition of the HACCP check function, the set core temperature in the core temperature cooking is prioritized for heating. Cooking is finished.

Next, the case of step cooking will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 and 13.

Step cooking is cooking performed by combining a plurality of cooking patterns including a heating mode. In this cooking apparatus 1, for example, in three heating modes (hot air, combination, steam), up to three cooking patterns can be combined.

12 and 13 show, for example, three heating steps (in the order of "hot air" (first heating step)-> "combi" (second heating step)-> "combi" (third heating step). This is an example of a screen in the case where the cooking is set to be performed via the heating cooking pattern).

That is, the screen of FIG. 12A is a screen displaying the previous set value (including the heating mode), and when the operator operates the step button 61 (first operation), the screen of FIG. 12B is displayed. As shown, the characters "step" are displayed, and the previous set values (for example, the previous cooking pattern of "hot air", "120 ° C.", and "10 minutes") are displayed as they are.

For the displayed set value, if it is not necessary to change it, set the value as it is, and if it is necessary to change it, operate the operation means 43 to change and set it.

When the operator operates the step button 61 (second operation) after setting the first heating step, the set value of the first heating step is erased on the screen as shown in FIG. 12 (c). A screen is displayed in which the second heating step can be set.

Then, as shown in FIG. 13D, the operator sets the set value of the second heating step by operating the operating means 43.

After setting the second heating step, when the operator operates the step button 61 (third operation), as shown in FIG. 13 (e), the second heating step is the same as in FIG. 12 (c). The set value of is erased on the screen, and a screen in which the third heating step can be set is displayed.

Then, as shown in FIG. 13 (f), the operator sets the set value of the third heating step by operating the operating means 43.

In this way, when the operator operates the preheating button 59 after the setting of step cooking is completed, the heating means 11 is activated to start preheating, and the preparation for cooking is proceeded.

The step cooking is not limited to the combination of the three heating steps described above, and may be a combination of the two heating steps. For example, the preheating button 59 may be operated after the setting on the screen of FIG. 13 (d). Alternatively, the preheating button 59 may be operated before the setting on the screen of FIG. 13 (f).

Further, in the examples shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, each heating step is time cooking based on the set heating time, but the present invention is not limited to this, and core temperature cooking based on the set core temperature may be used.

Next, the mode setting call will be described with reference to FIG.

In this cooking apparatus 1, in each of the three heating modes, the set value (previous cooking pattern) set at the time of the previous cooking is stored in the storage unit of the control means 41, but it is frequently used during cooking. It is possible to set (register) a plurality of set values (set cooked cooking patterns which are registered cooked cooking patterns) used for the above, for example, a maximum of three set values in the storage unit in advance.

That is, a plurality of (for example, at least three) set cooking patterns can be set in advance for each of the three selection operation means, the hot air button 51, the combination button 52, and the steam button 53. In other words, a plurality of cooking patterns can be registered in advance for each heating mode. This saves the trouble of operating the recipe button 62 to select a recipe to be used from among a large number of recipes registered in advance. A maximum of 300 recipes (cooking menus) can be registered in advance, and some recipes consist of only one cooking pattern or a combination of a plurality of cooking patterns.

For example, in the heating mode of "combi", when three frequently used setting values are set in advance, when the object to be heated a is cooked in the heating mode of "combi", the operator presses the recipe button. By simply operating the combination button 52 without operating 62, four setting values (four recipes) including the previous setting value can be easily called and used.

Specifically, when the heating mode is "hot air" or "steam", when the operator presses the combination button 52, which is the heating mode selection button, once, the setting value of the previous "combination" (previous cooking). The screen of FIG. 14A showing the pattern) is displayed.

Then, each time the combination button 52 is subsequently pressed, the screens of FIGS. 14 (b) to 14 (d) showing the three preset values (set cooking patterns) are switched in the order of setting. Therefore, if the pattern to be executed this time is any of the four cooking patterns shown in FIGS. 14 (a) to 14 (d), the worker can use a large number (for example, 100 or more) of recipes registered in advance. There is no need to find the desired pattern from the inside. The preset heating cooking pattern (for example, heating temperature, heating time, etc.) is appropriately changed by operating the function button 66 or the like.

Here, for example, in the case of performing cooking with the set cooking pattern (“combination”, “80 ° C.” and “1 hour 30 minutes”) shown in FIG. 14 (d), the operator is required to perform cooking in FIG. 14 (d). ) Is displayed on the display means 42, and the preheat button 59 is operated.

Then, the set cooking pattern shown in FIG. 14D is set as the execution pattern this time, and the heating means 11 is activated to start preheating and proceed to the preparation for cooking. The number of set cooking patterns that can be set in advance is not limited to three, and may be any other number, for example, four or more.

In addition, in order to set the necessary set values (room temperature, heating time, core temperature) in the above-mentioned time cooking, core temperature cooking, and step cooking, the hot air button 51, which is three selection operation means, and the combination When the heating mode is determined by operating either the button 52 or the steam button 53, if the set value to be set is among a plurality of preset cooking patterns of the determined heating mode, one of them. If the set value you want to set is a close value among multiple preset cooking patterns of the determined heating mode, move one of them and make some corrections to set it. Of course, to do.

Next, a case where the multi-timer is set and cooked will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 to 18.

The function of the multi-timer is to enable simultaneous cooking of a plurality of types of objects a to be heated by setting a plurality of different heating times (timer times) for each type of object a to be heated.

Specifically, for example, when cooking bean sprouts, onions and carrots, which are three kinds of ingredients, the optimum heating time for each is "5 minutes" for bean sprouts, "7 minutes 30 seconds" for onions, and carrots. It is "12 minutes". Therefore, the operator can set the multi-timer as follows to efficiently perform cooking.

That is, the screen of FIG. 15A is a screen displaying the previous set value, and if there is no change in the heating mode and the heating temperature in the state where the previous set value is displayed (change). After making appropriate changes and settings), the operator presses and holds the time button 55, which is a multi-timer setting operation means.
