Description

The present invention relates to a cooking device for cooking food ingredients.

In a cooking appliance, ingredients are placed in the main body of the appliance, the lid is then placed on the main body, and cooking begins. Typically, once cooking begins, the lid is not opened until the cooking is complete. However, an example of a cooking appliance in which the lid is opened during cooking is the electric rice cooker disclosed in Patent Document 1.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-186

Incidentally, when the electric rice cooker disclosed in Patent Document 1 is running a mixed rice cooking menu, the lid is opened midway through heating, additional ingredients are added, and the lid is then closed again to continue cooking. With this type of cooking device, if the lid is opened midway through cooking with the lid closed, heating is stopped temporarily and resumed once the lid is closed again. In other words, with conventional cooking devices, if the lid is opened midway through cooking with the lid closed, cooking does not continue with the lid open.

As such, conventional cooking appliances require the lid to be closed when cooking, and are not designed to be used with the lid open.

Conventional cooking appliances are therefore not designed to implement a wide variety of cooking menus, such as a cooking menu that combines cooking with the lid closed and cooking with the lid open, or a cooking menu that only cooks with the lid closed, or a cooking menu that only cooks with the lid open.

One aspect of the present invention aims to create a cooking appliance that allows cooking with the lid open and can prepare a wide variety of dishes.

In order to solve the above problems, a cooking device according to one aspect of the present invention is a cooking device that cooks ingredients placed in a cooking device main body, and includes a lid that opens and closes an ingredient inlet of the cooking device main body, an opening/closing detection unit that detects the opening and closing of the lid, and a cooking control unit that controls cooking of the cooking device main body by a cooking process according to the detection result of the opening/closing detection unit, and the cooking control unit executes a first cooking process when the opening/closing detection unit detects that the lid is closed, and executes a second cooking process when the opening/closing detection unit detects that the lid is opened. and one cooking menu includes at least the first heating cooking process and the second heating cooking process, and further includes an alarm unit that notifies that the first heating cooking process has been completed, and while the second heating cooking process is being performed, if the opening/closing detection unit detects that the lid has been closed, the cooking control unit stops heating and notifies the alarm unit that heating has been stopped , and in the second heating cooking process, if the opening/closing detection unit detects that the lid has been opened after the heating has been stopped, the cooking control unit resumes heating .

According to one aspect of the present invention, cooking with the lid open is possible, allowing for a wide variety of cooking options to be prepared.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a cooking device according to an embodiment of the present invention with the lid closed. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the cooking device shown in Fig. 1 with the lid open.

(Overview of the cooking appliance)
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the cooking device 1 includes a cooking device body 11, a lid 12, and an inner pot 13.

(Cooking appliance body)
The cooker body 11 includes an inner pot housing section 21, a heating section 22, a temperature sensor 23, and a weight sensor 24 (FIG. 3).

The inner pot housing 21 is a recess formed in the cooker body 11 and houses the inner pot 13. The heating unit 22 heats the inner pot 13, i.e., the ingredients, housed in the inner pot housing 21. The heating unit 22 is composed of, for example, an induction heating coil, but is not limited to this and any conventional heating means known in the art can be used. The temperature sensor 23 detects the temperature of the inner pot 13. The weight sensor 24 detects the weight of the ingredients housed in the inner pot 13.

(lid)
The lid 12 is attached to the cooker body 11 in an openable and closable manner, and opens and closes the opening of the inner pot 13 housed in the cooker body 11. The lid 12 includes an outer lid 31, an inner lid 32, and a stirring mechanism 33.

The outer lid 31 is connected to the cooking appliance body 11 via a hinge spring 31a. The inner lid 32 is detachably attached to the outer lid 31 and covers the inner pot 13 when the lid body 12 is closed.

A control unit (cooking control unit, function control unit) 34, a motor 35, and a speaker 36 are provided inside the outer lid 31.

The control unit 34 is made up of a CPU and controls various operations in the cooking appliance 1, particularly the cooking of ingredients. The control unit 34 controls the heating unit 22, stirring mechanism 33, etc. based on programs and input data stored in ROM (Read Only Memory), causing the cooking appliance 1 to cook the selected dish. There are no particular restrictions on the location of the control unit 34, and it may be located in the cooking appliance main body 11, for example. The motor 35 rotates the stirring mechanism 33. The speaker 36 outputs audio to notify the user of information.

An operation and display unit 37 for operation and display is provided on the top surface of the outer lid 31. The operation and display unit 37 has a display unit 371, around which various operation buttons 372 are located. The operation buttons 372 include various selection buttons, a start/confirm button, and a cancel button, as well as various buttons for issuing commands to the cooking appliance 1 for various operations. The start/confirm button is an operation button for issuing commands to start cooking, including scheduled cooking.

The display unit 371 displays various information selected by the user in response to the user's operation of the operation button 372, etc.

(Agitation mechanism)
Stirring mechanism 33 is driven to rotate by motor 35 and appropriately stirs the ingredients in inner pot 13 during cooking. Stirring mechanism 33 is detachably attached to the inner lid 32 on the side facing inner pot 13, and has two stirring arms 331 and a rotor 332. Stirring arm 331 is attached to rotor 332 and is in a lying position (solid line) when stirring mechanism 33 is not in use, and in an upright position (two-dot chain line) when stirring mechanism 33 is in use.

(Inner pot 13)
The inner pot 13 is placed in the inner pot housing 21 of the cooker body 11. The inner pot 13 houses ingredients to be cooked (vegetables, meat, fish, seasonings, etc.) depending on the type of dish. The inner pot 13 is made of a highly heat-conductive material such as aluminum.

(Control device for cooking appliance)
Fig. 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the control device of the cooking appliance 1. As shown in Fig. 3, the control device of the cooking appliance 1 includes a control unit 34, to which the heating unit 22, temperature sensor 23, weight sensor 24, motor drive circuit 38, speaker drive circuit 39, operation display unit 37, timer unit 40, lid opening/closing sensor (opening/closing detection unit) 41, and memory unit 42 are connected.

The motor drive circuit 38 is controlled by the control unit 34 to drive the motor 35, and the speaker drive circuit 39 is controlled by the control unit 34 to drive the speaker 36. The timing unit 40 has a timer function and measures time.

The lid opening/closing sensor 41 detects whether the outer lid 31 is open or closed, and sends a detected signal to the control unit 34. The control unit 34 controls the heating unit 22 to perform cooking in response to the opening or closing of the outer lid 31. Details of cooking control will be described later.

The memory unit 42 stores information about the control details that the control unit 34 exercises over the heating unit 22, stirring mechanism 33, etc., for cooking each dish. In particular, the cooking appliance 1 is designed to automatically cook a large number of dishes from start to finish using pre-programmed cooking. Therefore, the memory unit 42 stores information about the control details that the control unit 34 exercises over the heating unit 22, stirring mechanism 33, etc., for pre-programmed cooking from the start to completion of each dish (hereinafter referred to as pre-programmed cooking information). The memory unit 42 also stores information about the control details that the control unit 34 exercises over the heating unit 22, stirring mechanism 33, etc., for normal cooking (not pre-programmed cooking) from the start to completion of each dish (hereinafter referred to as normal cooking information). The normal cooking information includes a cooking menu that includes the open/closed state of the outer lid 31, i.e., a cooking menu that includes a heating step with the outer lid 31 closed and a heating step with the outer lid 31 open, from the start to the end of cooking.

The memory unit 42 also stores various setting information entered using the operation buttons 372 and speech information indicating what should be spoken through the speaker 36 during cooking, etc.

The control unit 34 controls the operation of the heating unit 22, the motor drive circuit 38 that drives the motor 35, and the speaker drive circuit 39 that drives the speaker 36 in accordance with the control contents stored in the memory unit 42.

Specifically, the control unit 34 controls each unit to perform cooking based on the cooking information (pre-set cooking information, regular cooking information) stored in the memory unit 42. In this case, the control unit 34 controls the operation of the heating unit 22 so that the temperature of the ingredients reaches a predetermined temperature specified in the cooking information.

The control unit 34 indirectly detects the temperature of the ingredients in the inner pot 13 based on the temperature of the inner pot 13 detected by the temperature sensor 23, the weight of the ingredients detected by the weight sensor 24, and the heating time by the heating unit 22.

In other words, the cooking appliance 1 stores data in the memory unit 42 that associates the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 23 with the weight of the ingredients, the heating time, and the temperature of the ingredients. The control unit 34 references this data and detects the temperature of the ingredients in the inner pot 13 from the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 23, the weight of the ingredients, and the heating time.

(Cooking control)
When the lid opening/closing sensor 41 detects that the lid is closed, the cooking appliance 1 controls cooking so as to execute a first cooking step for cooking with the lid closed, and when the lid opening/closing sensor 41 detects that the lid is open, the cooking appliance 1 controls cooking so as to execute a second cooking step for cooking with the lid open.

Specifically, the cooker 1 is designed to be able to perform cooking with one cooking menu both with the outer lid 31 closed and with the outer lid 31 open. In other words, the cooker 1 is able to execute cooking menus that include, from the start to the end of cooking, a heating process with the outer lid 31 closed (first cooking process), a heating process with the outer lid 31 open (second cooking process), and a heating process with the outer lid 31 closed (third cooking process). When executing such a cooking menu, cooking control is performed as shown in FIG. 4, for example. In the following explanation of cooking control, the outer lid 31 and inner lid 32 are referred to as the lid. In other words, opening the lid means opening both the outer lid 31 and inner lid 32, and closing the lid means closing both the outer lid 31 and inner lid 32.

The cooking control shown in Figure 4 shows an example in which a first cooking process is performed with the lid closed at the start of cooking, and after a predetermined time has passed, a second cooking process or a third cooking process is performed with the lid open until cooking is completed.

That is, when the cooking menu selected by the user is executed, the first heating cooking process is first executed (step S11), and when the predetermined heating time in the first heating cooking process has elapsed, the heating is terminated, and it is determined whether the heating has terminated (step S12).

If it is determined that heating in the first cooking step has ended, the user is notified that the first cooking step has ended (step S13). Here, a sound, voice, etc. is emitted from the speaker (notification unit) 36 built into the cooking appliance 1 to notify that the first cooking step has ended. As a method of notifying the user, in addition to sound or voice, a display indicating that the first cooking step has ended may be displayed on the display unit 371 of the operation display unit 37, or a combination of sound and display may be used.

Next, it is determined whether the lid has been opened (step S14). Specifically, whether the lid has been opened is determined based on the detection signal from the lid open/close sensor 41. If it is determined that the lid has been opened, a second cooking process is carried out in which cooking is carried out with the lid open (step S15). When a predetermined heating time has elapsed in the second cooking process, heating is terminated, and it is determined whether heating has terminated (step S16). If it is determined that heating in the second cooking process has terminated, cooking is terminated.

On the other hand, if the lid is not opened in step S14, it is determined whether a predetermined time has elapsed (step S17). If it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed, it is determined that no user is near the cooking appliance 1, and the process proceeds to step S18, where the third cooking process is performed instead of the second cooking process (step S18). Here, when cooking resumes in the third cooking process, cooking is performed at a heating temperature and for a heating time that are different from those used in the second cooking process. For example, in the third cooking process, cooking is performed with the lid closed, so the heating temperature is lower than that used in the second cooking process and the heating time is shorter than that used in the second cooking process. Furthermore, in the third cooking process, cooking is performed with the lid closed, so the heating temperature may be lower than that used in the second cooking process or the heating time may be shorter than that used in the second cooking process. This allows the cooking conditions to be closer to those of the second cooking process, in which cooking is performed with the lid open.

Then, when the predetermined heating time has elapsed in the third cooking process, the heating is terminated, and it is determined whether the heating has terminated (Step S19). If it is determined that the heating in the third cooking process has terminated, the cooking is terminated. Here, the heating time in the third cooking process may be the same as the heating time in the second cooking process, or a heating time different from the heating time in the second cooking process may be set in advance.

The cooking control shown in Figure 4 is explained assuming that the lid is kept open while the second cooking step is being performed.

The cooking control shown in Figure 5 shows how cooking is controlled when the lid is closed while the second cooking step is being performed.

That is, while the second cooking process is being performed (step S21), it is determined whether the lid is closed (step S22). If the lid is not closed (No), heating will end when the predetermined heating time in the second cooking process has elapsed, so it is determined whether heating has ended (step S23). If it is determined that heating in the second cooking process has ended, cooking ends.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S22 that the lid is closed (Yes), heating is stopped (step S24) and the user is notified that heating has stopped (step S25). Next, it is determined whether the lid is open (step S26), and if it is determined that the lid is open, heating is resumed (step S27), and the process proceeds to step S22, where it is determined whether the lid is closed.

(effect)
As described above, the cooking device 1 having the above configuration can cook food not only with the lid closed but also with the lid open, so that a wide variety of cooking menus can be performed.

When performing the second cooking step in the cooking appliance 1, which involves cooking with the lid open, the heating is automatically controlled so that the user does not need to operate the cooking appliance 1. However, in some cases, it may be necessary to operate the cooking appliance 1. In such cases, as shown in Figure 2, if the outer lid 31 is open, the user operates the operation display unit 37 provided on the outer lid 31. However, because the operation display unit 37 is located across from the cooking appliance body 11, the user has the problem of difficulty in operating it.

Therefore, when performing the second cooking step, the outer lid 31 may be made completely removable from the cooking appliance body 11, and the operation display unit 37 provided on the removed outer lid 31 may be operated.

Alternatively, an operation display unit may be provided on the cooking appliance body 11, making it easier for the user to operate the appliance even when the outer lid 31 is open.

In the following second embodiment, an example in which an operation display unit is provided on the cooking appliance main body 11 will be described.

[Embodiment 2]
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. For the sake of convenience, the same reference numerals will be used to designate components having the same functions as those described in the above embodiment, and the description thereof will not be repeated.

(Overview of cooking appliances)
6 and 7, the cooking appliance 1A, like the cooking appliance 1 of the first embodiment, includes a cooking appliance main body 11, a lid 12, and an inner pot 13. The cooking appliance 1A differs from the cooking appliance 1 of the first embodiment in that an operation display unit (main body operation display unit 43) for operating the cooking appliance 1A is also provided on the cooking appliance main body 11. In this embodiment, the cooking appliance main body operation display unit 43 and the operation display unit 37 provided on the outer lid 31 will be described as having the same function.

(Control device for cooking appliance)
Fig. 8 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the control device of the cooking appliance 1. As shown in Fig. 8, the control device of the cooking appliance 1A includes a control unit 34, to which the heating unit 22, temperature sensor 23, weight sensor 24, motor drive circuit 38, speaker drive circuit 39, operation display unit 37, timer unit 40, lid opening/closing sensor 41, memory unit 42, and main body operation display unit 43 are connected.

As shown in Figure 7, the main body operation display unit 43 is provided on the front side of the cooker main body 11, i.e., the side facing the hinge portion of the outer lid 31. The main body operation display unit 43 is a touch panel type liquid crystal display unit that can be switched as needed between a first display (full display) that displays all operation keys so that all functions of the cooking appliance 1A can be operated, and a second display (simplified display) that displays a reduced number of operation keys so that only some functions of the cooking appliance 1A can be operated.

In the full display on the main body operation display unit 43, various operation buttons 432 are displayed around the display unit 431, as shown in FIG. 9(a), for example. The operation buttons 432 include various selection buttons, a start/confirm button, and a cancel button, as well as various buttons for issuing commands to the cooking appliance 1 to perform various operations. In the full display on the main body operation display unit 43, the operation buttons 432 may be set to perform the same functions as the operation display unit 37 provided on the outer lid 31, for example, or may be set to perform a limited number of functions than the operation display unit 37, or may be set to perform a greater number of functions than the operation display unit 37.

On the other hand, the simplified display on the main unit operation display unit 43 has operation buttons 432 for temperature adjustment and cancel keys around the display unit 431, as shown in Figure 9(b), for example. In this way, the simplified display limits the functions that can be operated.

Here, we will explain how to switch between the first display (full display) and the second display (simplified display) on the main unit operation display unit 43.

(Display Control)
10 shows the process flow for controlling switching between the first display (full display) and the second display (simplified display) on the main body operation display unit 43. Here, an example of a cooking menu in which cooking is first performed with the outer lid 31 closed, and then, after a predetermined time has elapsed, cooking is performed with the outer lid 31 open will be described.

First, when the main body operation display unit 43 is in the full display state shown in Figure 9(a) (step S31), it is determined whether the outer lid 31 is open (step S32). Here, the lid opening/closing sensor 41 detects that the outer lid 31 is open and sends a detection signal to the control unit 34.

Next, if it is determined in step S32 that the outer lid 31 is open, a simplified display is executed (step S33). Here, the control unit 34 receives a detection signal from the lid opening/closing sensor 41 indicating that the outer lid 31 is open, and causes the main body operation display unit 43 to display the simplified display shown in Figure 9(b).

Next, it is determined whether the outer lid 31 is closed (step S34), and if it is determined that the outer lid 31 is closed, the process proceeds to step S31 and full display is performed again. Here, the control unit 34 receives a detection signal from the lid opening/closing sensor 41 indicating that the outer lid 31 is closed, and causes the main body operation display unit 43 to perform the full display shown in Figure 9(a) again.

(effect)
In this way, by switching the display on the main body operation display unit 43 in conjunction with the opening and closing of the outer lid 31, it is possible to improve user operability when cooking is performed in conjunction with the opening and closing of the outer lid 31. For example, during the cooking process (second cooking process) performed with the outer lid 31 open, operations such as temperature setting and cancel are usually sufficient, so if operation keys other than these are displayed, the user may be confused about how to operate the unit. However, as described above, if only the necessary operation keys are displayed, the user will not be confused about how to operate the unit even if they look at the main body operation display unit 43.

In this embodiment, the main body operation display unit 43 is set to full display when the outer lid 31 is closed, but this is not limited to this, and the main body operation display unit 43 may be set to full display even when the outer lid 31 is open. In particular, in cases where two operation display units are provided, the operation display unit 37 of the outer lid 31 and the main body operation display unit 43 of the cooker body 11, as in the case of the cooking appliance 1A, the operation display unit 37 is in a position that makes it difficult for the user to operate when the outer lid 31 is open. Therefore, if the main body operation display unit 43 of the cooker body 11 is set to full display, the user can perform various operations.

Furthermore, when two operation display units are provided, as in the case of cooking appliance 1A, the user may be confused about which operation display unit to operate. In particular, when the outer lid 31 is closed, both operation display units are located in positions that are easy for the user to operate, making it likely that the user will be confused about which operation display unit to operate. Therefore, when the outer lid 31 is closed, only operations from the operation display unit 37 provided on the outer lid 31 may be accepted, and operations from the main body operation display unit 43 provided on the cooking appliance main body 11 may not be accepted. Alternatively, when the outer lid 31 is open, operations from the operation display unit 37 provided on the outer lid 31 may not be accepted, and only operations from the main body operation display unit 43 provided on the cooking appliance main body 11 may be accepted. This allows the user to easily determine which operation unit to operate, eliminating the risk of confusion about which operation display unit to operate.

Furthermore, when the outer lid 31 is open, if operations on the operation display unit 37 provided on the outer lid 31 are not accepted and only operations on the main body operation display unit 43 provided on the cooking appliance main body 11 are accepted, the display on the main body operation display unit 43 may be a full display as shown in Figure 9(a) or a simplified display as shown in Figure 9(b).

[Embodiment 3]
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. For the sake of convenience, the same reference numerals will be used to designate components having the same functions as those described in the first and second embodiments, and the description thereof will not be repeated.

The cooking appliance according to this embodiment has almost the same configuration as the cooking appliance 1A of the second embodiment, except that it is provided with only one of two operation display units (operation display unit 37, main body operation display unit 43). However, as in the second embodiment, the display on the operation display unit is switched between full display and simplified display in conjunction with the opening and closing of the outer lid 31.

For example, in the case where the operation display unit 37 is provided only on the outer lid 31 side, as in the cooking appliance 1 shown in FIG. 1, when the outer lid 31 is closed, the operation display unit 37 displays a full display as shown in FIG. 9(a), and when the outer lid 31 is open, the operation display unit 37 displays a simplified display as shown in FIG. 9(b). Note that the state in which the outer lid 31 is open includes a state in which the outer lid 31 is connected to the cooking appliance body 11 by a hinge as shown in FIG. 2, and a state in which the outer lid 31 is completely detached from the cooking appliance body 11, not shown. When the outer lid 31 is connected to the cooking appliance body 11 by a hinge, operation is difficult even if the outer lid 31 is open and displays a simplified display on the operation display unit 37. However, when the outer lid 31 is completely detached from the cooking appliance body 11, operation is easy even if the outer lid 31 is open and displays a simplified display on the operation display unit 37.

Furthermore, even if the operation display unit 37 is not provided on the outer lid 31 and the main body operation display unit 43 is provided only on the cooking appliance main body 11, as described above, when the outer lid 31 is closed, the main body operation display unit 43 will display in full as shown in Figure 9(a), and when the outer lid 31 is open, the main body operation display unit 43 will display in simplified form as shown in Figure 9(b).

Note that the full display and simplified display shown in Figures 9(a) and (b) are merely examples and are not limited to these. These display examples may also be obtained by downloading them from a server on the Internet via a communications network.
