Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an automatic rice cooker used in general households.

Conventional technology In the conventional automatic rice cooker that performs a series of operations from washing rice to adjusting water and cooking rice, the data stored in the ROM (Read Only Memory) of the memory circuit is used to set the amount of cooking rice and the amount of water adjustment. Was.

However, in such a conventional method, since the initial state is returned each time rice is cooked, it is necessary to re-set each time rice is cooked, even if the rice is cooked at the same amount and the same amount of water every day. was there.

An object of the present invention is to provide an automatic rice cooker that solves such problems.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the automatic rice cooker of the present invention is a rice cooker that stores a rice and a rice cooker consisting of a pot for heating rice and a heating means, and can discharge a predetermined amount at a time. Part, a rice washing part for washing rice discharged from the rice bowl part, a water supply part for supplying water necessary for cooking rice, and a control circuit part for controlling these parts, and the control circuit part, When the next time to cook rice, it is equipped with an operation unit for setting the prescribed amount of rice and the amount of water to be cooked, and a rewritable storage circuit that stores either or both of the amount of rice cooked and the amount of water once cooked. It is configured so that the previous amount of rice cooked and the amount of water added can be called.

Effect With the above-described configuration, the present invention can store one or both of the amount of cooked rice and the amount of cooked rice in a rewritable memory circuit once the cooked rice is cooked. By pressing the switch once, it is possible to cook rice with the same amount and amount of rice as before.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

FIG. 1 shows an overall configuration diagram of an automatic rice cooker according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which 1 is a pot for cooking rice,
The pot 1 is heated by the heating means 2. Reference numeral 3 is a rice bin for storing rice, and a rice outlet 4 is provided in the rice pot 3 so that a predetermined amount of rice is discharged from the rice outlet 4. Reference numeral 5 denotes a rice washing unit for washing the rice discharged from the rice outlet 4, and the rice washed in the rice washing unit 5 is transferred to the pan 1 by the transfer unit 6. Reference numeral 7 denotes a water tank for storing water necessary for cooking rice. The water in the water tank 7 is put into the pot 1 by a water supply pump 8 through a water supply pipe 9 and a water supply nozzle 10 attached to the tip of the water supply pipe 9. Water is supplied. 11 is a control circuit for controlling the above-mentioned parts to automatically cook rice 12
And a rewritable memory circuit 14 for storing the amount of cooked rice and the amount of water, and a rewritable storage circuit 14 for storing the amount of cooked rice and the amount of water.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an automatic rice cooker according to an embodiment of the present invention, and the operation will be described according to this block diagram.

First, when the power is turned on, the standard amount of cooked rice and the amount of water added are stored in advance in the rewritable memory circuit 14. Therefore, when the rice is cooked for the first time, the amount of rice cooked and the amount of water added to the operator's liking can be adjusted.
And the start switch is pressed, the set amount of cooked rice and the amount of water added are stored in the memory circuit 14, and the set amount of cooked rice is discharged from the rice pot section 3 and washed in the rice washing section 5. Enter pot 1. In addition, the amount of water enters the pan 1 from the water supply unit 8 according to the set amount of water.

When the set amount of cooked rice and the adjusted amount of water are prepared in the pan 1, the pan 1 is heated by the heating means 2 and the heating means 2 is controlled while the temperature of the pan 1 is detected by the temperature detector 15. To complete.

All of these series of movements are controlled by the control circuit 12.

When cooking rice for the second time or later, if the amount of cooked rice and the amount of water you like do not change, simply press the start switch to call the previous amount of cooked rice and the amount of water from the memory circuit 14 to start cooking rice. Cooking is automatically completed by a series of operations.

In the above embodiment, an example in which both the amount of cooked rice and the amount of water added are stored has been described, but it is also possible to store only one of these.

Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, as is clear from the description of the above embodiments,
If you first set either one or both of your favorite rice amount and the amount of water to cook, then cook the rice after the second time, if the amount of rice and your water amount you like do not change, press the start switch. Just by pressing, the previous amount of rice cooked and the amount of water added are recalled from the memory circuit to start rice cooking, and the rice is automatically completed by a series of operations, so each time,
It is not necessary to reset the amount of rice cooked and the amount of water added, and therefore the operation is extremely simple.
