Japanese Patent No. 6417087

In general, when selecting a cooking menu, considering ease of use for the user, each time the user operates the operation unit, a plurality of cooking menus are switched in order and selected. , the order of switching is set in advance in consideration of ease of use for the user.

In Patent Document 1, when selecting a cooking menu, the cooking menu that can be selected first is not the default cooking menu set in advance, but the cooking menu that was selected during the previous cooking. Therefore, when the user cooks with the same cooking menu as the previous time, it is possible to save the trouble of selection operation.

However, when the user cooks with a cooking menu different from the previous cooking menu, the cooking menu of the previous cooking is the first cooking menu, not the initial setting first cooking menu that is preset in the order that is easy for the user to use. will be selected for Therefore, a user who intends to cook with a different cooking menu from the previous one has to operate the operation unit to switch the initially selected cooking menu from the previous cooking to select the desired cooking menu. , Rather, it may take time to select a cooking menu.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to more reliably save the trouble of operation when selecting a desired cooking menu from a plurality of cooking menus.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is configured as follows.

(1) A grill according to the present invention includes a grill burner for heating a cooking container, a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of the cooking container, an operation unit for selecting and setting one cooking menu from a plurality of cooking menus, and the a control unit for controlling the grill burner according to the cooking menu set by the operation unit; a storage unit for storing information on the previously cooked cooking menu; a temperature determination unit for determining whether or not the temperature of the cooking vessel to be cooked is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature; and based on the determination result of the temperature determination unit, an initial setting menu that can be initially selected by the operation unit is changed. and an initial setting changing unit for
The operation unit is capable of first selecting a predetermined cooking menu from among the plurality of cooking menus as the initial setting menu, and sequentially switching the cooking menu from the initial setting menu according to the operation. , the one cooking menu can be selected and set, and the initial setting changing unit selects the initial setting menu when the temperature determining unit determines that the temperature of the cooking vessel is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature. is changed to the previously cooked cooking menu stored in the storage unit.

According to the present invention, when the user operates the operation unit to select a cooking menu, the initial setting menu can be selected first, and then the cooking menus can be sequentially selected according to the operation of the operation unit. switched. Normally, a predetermined cooking menu that is easy for the user to use can be initially selected as the initial setting menu, but when the temperature of the cooking vessel is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature, the initial setting menu is stored. It is changed to the previously cooked cooking menu stored in the unit and can be selected first.

When the temperature of the cooking container is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature, for example, when the same cooking is continued in multiple batches due to a large number of items to be cooked, or when the same cooking is performed because the heating time is insufficient. For example, when reheating with In such a case, the user will select the same cooking menu as last time.

On the other hand, when the temperature of the cooking vessel is not equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature, that is, when the temperature of the cooking vessel is less than the predetermined temperature, for example, when cooking different from the previous cooking is performed after washing the cooking vessel, or when For example, when a considerable amount of time has passed since the previous cooking, and cooking different from the previous cooking is performed. In such a case, the user will select a cooking menu different from the previous cooking.

According to the present invention, when the temperature of the cooking container is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature and there is a high possibility that the same cooking menu as the previous cooking will be selected, the initial setting menu that can be selected first is selected from the predetermined cooking menu. Instead, the cooking menu is changed to the previous cooking menu stored in the storage part, so that the user who wants to cook the same food as last time does not need to perform a switching operation for selecting the cooking menu, thereby improving usability. .

On the other hand, when the temperature of the cooking container is lower than the predetermined temperature and there is a high possibility that cooking different from the previous cooking will be selected, the initially selectable initial setting menu is not changed to the previous cooking menu. , the user can first select a predetermined cooking menu in consideration of ease of use. When this first cooking menu is not the desired cooking menu, the user operates the operating unit to switch the cooking menus in a predetermined order that is easy for the user to use, thereby selecting the desired cooking menu. You can choose.

Thus, in the present invention, when there is a high possibility that the same cooking menu as the previous cooking will be selected, the initial setting menu is changed to the cooking menu of the previous cooking, in other words, the same cooking menu as the previous cooking is selected. When the possibility of selection is low, the default menu is not changed to the cooking menu of the previous cooking.

Therefore, compared to Patent Document 1, in which the cooking menu of the previous cooking is always selected as the first cooking menu, when the user intends to cook with a cooking menu different from the previous cooking, The cooking menu is less likely to be selected first, and the trouble of operation when selecting the cooking menu can be saved more reliably.

(2) The grill according to the present invention includes a grill burner that heats a cooking container, an operation unit that selects and sets one cooking menu from a plurality of cooking menus, and according to the cooking menu set by the operation unit, A control unit that controls the grill burner, a storage unit that stores information on the previously cooked cooking menu, and in response to the operation of the operation unit, obtains the elapsed time from the end of cooking of the previously cooked cooking menu, An elapsed time determination unit that determines whether the obtained elapsed time is equal to or less than a predetermined time, and an initial setting menu that can be selected first by the operation unit is changed based on the determination result of the elapsed time determination unit. an initial setting changing unit, wherein the information stored in the storage unit includes information at the end of cooking of the previously cooked cooking menu, and the elapsed time determination unit determines the cooking stored in the storage unit. The elapsed time is obtained based on information at the time of completion, and the operation unit is capable of first selecting a predetermined cooking menu from among the plurality of cooking menus as the initial setting menu. , according to the operation, the cooking menu is sequentially switched from the initial setting menu, and the one cooking menu can be selected and set, and the initial setting changing unit determines the elapsed time obtained by the elapsed time determination unit When it is determined that the time is equal to or shorter than the predetermined time, the initial setting menu is changed to the previously cooked cooking menu stored in the storage unit, and the information stored in the storage unit is , including information on the timer time of the cooking menu cooked last time, the operation unit can select and set the timer time of the selected cooking menu, and the operation unit initially sets the predetermined timer time The timer time can be selected and set first, and can be set by sequentially changing the timer time from the initial setting timer time according to the operation, and the initial setting changing unit can change the initial setting menu, When changing to the cooking menu cooked last time, the initial setting timer time is changed to a timer time shorter than the timer time of the cooking menu cooked last time.

According to the present invention, when the user operates the operation unit to select a cooking menu, the initial setting menu can be selected first, and then the cooking menus can be sequentially selected according to the operation of the operation unit. switched. Normally, a cooking menu predetermined in consideration of ease of use by the user can be selected first as the initial setting menu. , the default menu is changed to the previously cooked cooking menu stored in the storage unit, which can be selected first.

When the elapsed time from the end of the previous cooking is less than or equal to the predetermined time is when the time interval from the previous cooking to the current cooking is short. or when reheating with the same cooking because the heating time was insufficient. In such a case, the user will select the same cooking menu as last time.

On the other hand, when the elapsed time from the end of the previous cooking is not less than the predetermined time, that is, when the elapsed time from the end of the previous cooking exceeds the predetermined time, the time interval from the previous cooking to the current cooking is long. For example, when a considerable amount of time has passed since the previous cooking and cooking different from the previous cooking is performed. In such a case, the user will select a cooking menu different from the previous cooking.

According to the present invention, when the elapsed time from the end of the previous cooking is less than or equal to the predetermined time and there is a high possibility that the same cooking menu as the previous cooking will be selected, the initial setting menu that can be selected first is set in advance. Since the cooking menu is changed to the previous cooking menu stored in the storage unit instead of the predetermined cooking menu, the user who intends to cook the same as last time does not need to perform a switching operation to select the cooking menu. , usability is improved.

On the other hand, when the elapsed time from the end of the previous cooking exceeds the predetermined time and there is a high possibility that cooking different from the previous cooking will be selected, the initial setting menu that can be selected first is changed to the previous cooking menu. A predetermined cooking menu can be selected first in consideration of ease of use by the user. When this first cooking menu is not the desired cooking menu, the user operates the operating unit to switch the cooking menus in a predetermined order that is easy for the user to use, thereby selecting the desired cooking menu. You can choose.

Thus, in the present invention, when there is a high possibility that the same cooking menu as the previous cooking will be selected, the initial setting menu is changed to the cooking menu of the previous cooking, in other words, the same cooking menu as the previous cooking is selected. When the possibility of selection is low, the default menu is not changed to the cooking menu of the previous cooking.

Therefore, compared to Patent Document 1, in which the cooking menu of the previous cooking is always selected as the first cooking menu, when the user intends to cook with a cooking menu different from the previous cooking, The cooking menu is less likely to be selected first, and the trouble of operation when selecting the cooking menu can be saved more reliably.
Further, according to the present invention, when the user operates the operation unit to set the timer time, the predetermined timer time can be first selected as the initial timer time, and then the operation unit is operated. Depending on the operation, timer times that can be selected sequentially are switched. Normally, a predetermined timer time can be initially selected as the initial setting timer time, but the initial setting changing unit changes the initial setting timer time to change the initial setting menu to the previously cooked cooking menu. Change the timer time to be shorter than the timer time of the cooking menu cooked last time. As a result, when attempting to perform the same cooking following the previous cooking, the temperature of the grill chamber is higher than that of the first cooking, so the user attempts to set a shorter timer time. The operation for shortening the time is reduced, and usability is further improved.

(3) In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the information stored in the storage section includes information on completion of cooking of the previously cooked cooking menu, and stored in the storage section in response to operation of the operation section. Based on the stored information on the end of cooking, the elapsed time from the end of cooking of the previously cooked cooking menu is obtained, and the elapsed time is determined whether the obtained elapsed time is equal to or less than a predetermined time. a determination unit, wherein even when the temperature determination unit determines that the temperature of the cooking container is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature, the elapsed time determination unit determines the When the elapsed time is not determined to be equal to or less than the predetermined time, the predetermined cooking menu is set as the initial setting menu without changing the initial setting menu.

According to this embodiment, even when the temperature of the cooking container is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature and the possibility that the same cooking menu as that of the previous cooking is selected is high, the elapsed time from the end of the previous cooking is predetermined. When the time is not less than the time, the initial setting menu is not changed. In other words, when the temperature of the cooking container is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature and the elapsed time from the end of the previous cooking is equal to or less than the predetermined time, that is, It is determined from the temperature of the cooking container that the same cooking menu as the previous cooking is likely to be selected, and from the elapsed time, it is highly likely that the same cooking menu as the previous cooking is selected. When it is determined that the same cooking menu as cooking is highly likely to be selected, the initial setting menu is changed to the previous cooking menu.

As described above, in the present invention, when the possibility that the same cooking menu as the previous cooking is selected is quite high, the initial setting menu is changed to the cooking menu of the previous cooking, so that the user can select a different cooking menu from the previous cooking. When the cooking is to be performed in the cooking mode, the same cooking menu as the previous cooking is less likely to be selected first, and the labor for operation when selecting the cooking menu can be more reliably saved.

(4) In one embodiment of the present invention, the information stored in the storage unit includes information on the timer time of the previously cooked cooking menu, and the operating unit selects the timer time of the selected cooking menu. The operation unit can first select and set a predetermined timer time as an initial setting timer time, and the timer time can be set sequentially from the initial setting timer time according to the operation. When changing the initial setting menu to the previously cooked cooking menu, the initial setting changing unit sets the initial setting timer time to be shorter than the timer time of the previously cooked cooking menu. change in time.

According to this embodiment, when the user operates the operation unit to set the timer time, the predetermined timer time can first be selected as the default timer time, and then the user operates the operation unit. , the timer time that can be selected sequentially is switched. Normally, a predetermined timer time can be initially selected as the initial setting timer time, but the initial setting changing unit changes the initial setting menu to the previously cooked cooking menu when the temperature of the cooking container is already high. Since the temperature is higher than the predetermined temperature, the initial setting timer time is changed to a timer time shorter than the timer time of the previously cooked cooking menu. As a result, when attempting to perform the same cooking following the previous cooking, the temperature of the grill chamber is higher than that of the first cooking, so the user attempts to set a shorter timer time. The operation for shortening the time is reduced, and usability is further improved.

(5) In another embodiment of the present invention, the information stored in the storage unit includes information on the temperature of the cooking vessel at the end of cooking of the previously cooked cooking menu, and the temperature determination unit performs the operation In response to the operation of the unit, it is determined whether or not the temperature of the cooking vessel detected by the temperature sensor is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature, and the temperature of the cooking vessel is stored in the storage unit. The initial setting changing unit determines whether the temperature of the cooking container is higher than the temperature of the cooking container at the end of cooking of the previously cooked cooking menu, and the initial setting changing unit determines whether the temperature of the cooking container is higher than the predetermined temperature by the temperature determining unit. When it is determined that the temperature of the cooking container is higher than the temperature of the cooking container when the cooking is finished, the preset menu is not changed, and the preset menu is not changed. The prepared cooking menu is set as the initial setting menu.

According to this embodiment, even when the temperature of the cooking vessel is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature and the possibility that the same cooking menu as the previous cooking is selected is high, When it is high, there is a high possibility that the cooking container will be replaced with another high-temperature cooking container, and cooking different from the previous cooking will be performed, so the initial setting menu is not changed. As a result, the previous cooking menu may be selected as the default menu when the user replaces the cooking container with another high-temperature cooking container to perform cooking different from the previous cooking. and improve usability.

As described above, according to the present invention, when a user selects a cooking menu, normally, a predetermined cooking menu can be selected first as an initial setting menu in consideration of ease of use for the user. When it is determined that there is a high possibility that the same cooking as the previous cooking will be performed based on the temperature of the cooking container and the elapsed time from the previous cooking, the previous cooking stored in the storage unit is selected as the initial setting menu. A menu can be selected first. This saves the user the trouble of performing operations when selecting a cooking menu.

Furthermore, when there is a high possibility that the same cooking menu as the previous cooking will be selected, the initial setting menu is changed to the cooking menu of the previous cooking, so that the user cannot cook with a different cooking menu from the last time. In this case, the same cooking menu as the previous cooking is less likely to be selected first as the initial setting menu, and the labor for operation when selecting the cooking menu can be more reliably saved.

A cooking container such as a plate pan 10, a corrugated plate pan, or a casserole serving as a cooking container with a lid is positioned and placed on the support frame 6 and inserted into the grill chamber 5. The upper and lower surfaces of the pan 10 face the upper burners 7 and the lower burners 8 entirely.

The lower burner 8 uses a circular burner similar to the burner of the stove section 2. At the center thereof, a temperature sensor 11 using a thermistor is slidably displaceable downward and slid upward to return. Deployed. The temperature sensor 11 is elastically pressed against the bottom surface of the cooking container such as the plate pan 10 loaded in the grill chamber to detect the temperature of the cooking container.

A block diagram illustrating the control arrangement associated with grill 3 is shown in FIG. The operation control unit 15 composed of a microcomputer or the like includes the temperature sensor 11 for detecting the temperature of the cooking container such as the plate pan 10, the grill setting operation unit 16, and the gas supply to the upper burner 7 and the lower burner 8. A source gas valve 17 that opens and closes the source, an upper burner gas amount adjusting valve 18, a lower burner gas amount adjusting valve 19, a spark plug 20 and an ignition sensor 21 for checking ignition and ignition in the upper burner 7, and a lower burner 8. An ignition plug 22 and an ignition sensor 23 for igniting and confirming the ignition, and a notification device 24 for giving various notifications such as an electronic sound and a monitor lamp display are connected.

The operation control unit 15 controls the operation of the upper burner 7 and the lower burner 8 based on the setting information such as the cooking menu in the grill setting operation unit 16 and the detected temperature from the cooking container temperature sensor 11 . Further, as will be described later, the operation control unit 15 has a storage unit composed of a nonvolatile memory or the like for storing information about the cooking menu cooked last time, and the temperature of the cooking container detected by the temperature sensor 11 is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature. A temperature determination unit that determines whether or not, an elapsed time determination unit that determines whether the elapsed time from the end of cooking of the previously cooked cooking menu to the start of cooking this time is less than or equal to a predetermined time, and for grill It has a function as an initial setting change section or the like for changing an initial setting menu or the like that can be selected first by the setting operation section 16 .

As shown by the phantom line in FIG. 1, the grill setting operation unit 16 is provided on the left side of the front surface of the stove so that the operation surface is exposed by protruding when the stove is tilted forward.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the operation surface of the grill setting operation section 16. As shown in FIG.

The grill setting operation unit 16 includes an automatic menu selection switch 25 for selecting an automatic menu, a cooking mode selection switch 26 for selecting a cooking mode, and a three-step setting of "high", "medium", and "low". It has a heating power adjustment switch 27, a ignition/extinguishing switch 28 for commanding ignition and extinguishing of the grill burner, and a time setting switch 29 for setting timer time and timer cooking in the cooking mode.

When the auto menu selection switch 25 is pressed, the cooking menu of the "auto menu" is selected as "toast", "grilled chicken thigh", "grilled in foil", "fish: fillet", "fish: whole grilled", " Each cooking menu of "Rice" can be sequentially switched and selected in the predetermined order. This predetermined order takes into consideration ease of use for the user. In this example, when the auto menu selection switch 25 is pressed for the first time, the first selectable initial setting menu is "toast", which is a predetermined cooking menu, as shown in FIG. 5(a). is selected, and the cooking menu display lamp 41 corresponding to "toast" lights up. Also, as the thermal power of the initial setting, a predetermined thermal power of "middle" is selected, and the thermal power display lamp 42 corresponding to "middle" is lit.

As will be described later, FIG. 5(b) shows that the initial setting menu was previously cooked from the predetermined cooking menu "toast" based on the information of the cooking menu of the auto menu that was cooked last time. This is an example of a case where the cooking menu is changed to, for example, "Fish: Whole-grilled".

In FIG. 5(b), when the automatic menu selection switch 25 is first pressed, the initial setting menu that can be selected first is not the predetermined cooking menu "toast", but the previously prepared cooking. The menu is changed to, for example, "fish: grilled whole", and the cooking menu display lamp 43 corresponding to "fish: grilled whole" lights up. In addition, as the initial setting thermal power, instead of the predetermined thermal power "medium", "weak" which is the thermal power at the time of "fish: whole grill" which is the cooking menu cooked last time is selected. The heating power display lamp 44 corresponding to "low" lights up.

The operation control unit 15 automatically adjusts the heating power of the upper burner 7 and the lower burner 8 for each of the plurality of cooking menus selected by the automatic menu selection switch 25, based on preset cooking information. In addition, when the heating cooking is completed, the upper burner 7 and the lower burner 8 are automatically extinguished to perform fully automatic heating cooking. Note that the cooking container is predetermined according to the selected cooking menu.

When the cooking mode selection switch 26 is pressed, the cooking menu of the "cooking mode" is "bake", "warm", "non-fried", "frozen food", "simmer", "steam", and "bread". In the predetermined order, each cooking menu can be sequentially switched and selected. This predetermined order takes into consideration ease of use for the user. In this example, when the cooking mode selection switch 26 is pressed for the first time, as shown in FIG. is selected, and the cooking menu display lamp 45 corresponding to "bake" lights up. Also, as the thermal power of the initial setting, a predetermined thermal power of "middle" is selected, and the thermal power display lamp 42 corresponding to "middle" is lit. Furthermore, according to the selected cooking menu, the display unit 30 displays a predetermined timer time, for example, "10" minutes, as the initial set timer time.

As will be described later, FIG. 6(b) changes the initial setting menu from the predetermined cooking menu "Bake" based on the information of the cooking menu of the cooking mode in which the previous cooking was performed. It shows an example of a case where the cooking menu is changed to, for example, "warm".

In FIG. 6B, when the cooking mode selection switch 26 is pressed for the first time, the initial setting menu that can be selected first is not the predetermined cooking menu "Bake", but the previously cooked cooking. The menu is changed to, for example, "heat", and the cooking menu display lamp 46 corresponding to "heat" lights up. In addition, as the initial setting heat power, instead of "medium" which is a predetermined heat power, "weak" which is the heat power at the time of "heating" which is the cooking menu cooked last time is selected, and "weak" is selected. The corresponding heating power indicator lamp 44 lights up.

Furthermore, as will be described later, as the initial setting timer time, the display unit 30 displays a predetermined timer time, for example, not "10" minutes, but the previously cooked cooking menu "warm". For example, "8" minutes is displayed as a timer time that is shorter than the timer time that has been set.

The operation control unit 15 automatically adjusts the heating power of the upper burner 7 and the lower burner 8 based on preset heat cooking information for each of a plurality of cooking menus selected by the cooking mode selection switch 26. while heating and cooking. Note that the cooking container is predetermined according to the selected cooking menu.

After the timer time is set by the time setting switch 29, the operation control unit 15 is operated by the time setting switch 29 when the grill burner is ignited by the ignition switch 28 or immediately after the grill burner is ignited by the ignition switch 28. When the timer time is set and the heating cooking time elapses, "timer cooking" is executed to automatically extinguish the grill burner.

By the way, the cooking menus of "Rice" in the auto menu and "Boil", "Steam", and "Bread" in the cooking mode are cooking menus that use a casserole that is a cooking pot with a lid. Other cooking menus are cooking menus using the plate pan 10 described above. When using a corrugated plate pan, the auto menu selection switch 25 is pressed and held for, for example, 2 seconds or more to turn on the corrugated plate pan display lamp 47 corresponding to the corrugated plate pan. .

This embodiment is configured as follows in order to ensure that the user can save the trouble of operation when selecting a desired cooking menu from a plurality of cooking menus.

That is, at the end of the previous cooking, the information of the previously cooked cooking menu, for example, the previously cooked cooking menu, the time when the cooking of the previously cooked cooking menu finished, the timer time of the cooked cooking menu, the last cooked cooking Information such as the temperature of the cooking container at the end of cooking of the menu is stored, and when cooking this time, the temperature of the cooking container and the elapsed time from the end of cooking of the previously cooked cooking menu to the start of this cooking Based on, etc., it is determined whether or not there is a high possibility that the same cooking menu as the previous cooking menu will be selected, and when it is determined that there is a high possibility that the same cooking menu as the previous cooking menu will be selected, The initial setting menu or the like is changed to the previously prepared cooking menu or the like instead of the predetermined cooking menu or the like.

As a result, when there is a high possibility that the same cooking menu as the previous cooking will be selected, the initial setting menu that can be selected first is changed to the previous cooking menu instead of the predetermined cooking menu. A user who intends to perform the same cooking as cooking presses the automatic menu selection switch 25 or the like in order to select the previous cooking menu from the predetermined cooking menus, and performs selection operations such as sequentially switching the cooking menus. There is no need to do this, and usability is improved.

On the other hand, when the possibility that the same cooking menu as the previous cooking is selected is not high, that is, when there is a high possibility that another cooking different from the previous cooking is selected, the initial setting menu that can be selected first is A predetermined cooking menu that is easy to use for the user can be selected first without being changed to the other cooking menu, and when this first selectable cooking menu is not the desired cooking menu, the predetermined cooking menu is not changed. The user can switch and select cooking menus in order of ease of use, and the user who intends to perform cooking different from the previous cooking can efficiently select a desired cooking menu.

In this way, when there is a high possibility that the same cooking menu as the previous cooking will be selected, the initial setting menu is changed to the cooking menu of the previous cooking, so that the user can cook with a different cooking menu from the previous cooking. When the user is about to start cooking, the same cooking menu as the previous cooking is less likely to be initially selected as an initial setting menu, and the labor for operation when selecting the cooking menu can be more reliably saved.

The control of each embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to flowcharts.

[First Embodiment]
FIG. 7 is a flow chart showing an example of control in the first embodiment.

In this first embodiment, when the temperature of the cooking container detected by the temperature sensor 11 is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature when starting cooking, the temperature of the cooking container has not decreased since the previous cooking. , when the same cooking is continued in multiple batches due to a large number of items to be cooked, or when the same cooking is reheated due to insufficient heating time. Therefore, it is likely that the same cooking menu as last time will be selected, so the initial setting menu is changed to the cooking menu that was cooked last time.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, first, when the gas stove 1 is turned on (step S101), it is determined whether or not the grill door 6a is closed (step S102), and the grill door 6a is closed. When it is closed, it is determined whether or not a cooking menu selection command has been issued, specifically whether or not the auto menu selection switch 25 or the cooking mode selection switch 26 has been operated (step S103).

When there is a cooking menu selection command, assuming that a cooking menu selection operation for the current cooking is performed, is there information about the previous cooking menu memorized by executing the previous cooking menu in response to the operation? It is determined whether or not (step S104), and when there is no information regarding the previous cooking menu, the process proceeds to step S108.

In this case, in step S108, since there is no information about the previous cooking menu, the user normally manually selects and sets the cooking menu, etc., and sets the cooking container according to the cooking menu. In this case, there is no change in the initial setting menu or the like, and switching of cooking menus by operation is performed in a predetermined normal order in consideration of ease of use by the user.

Specifically, as a cooking menu selection command, for example, when the automatic menu selection switch 25 is pressed, the predetermined cooking menu "toast" is set first as the initial setting menu as described above. , and then according to the operation of the automatic menu selection switch 25, cooking is performed in the order of "grilled chicken thigh", "grilled in foil", "fish: fillet", "fish: whole grilled", and "rice". Menus can be selected by sequentially switching.

Further, as a cooking menu selection command, for example, when the cooking mode selection switch 26 is pressed, the predetermined cooking menu "Bake" is first selected as the initial setting menu as described above. After that, according to the operation of the cooking mode selection switch 26, the cooking menu is sequentially switched in the order of "warm", "non-fried", "frozen food", "simmer", "steam" and "bread". can be selected.

In step S104, when there is information about the cooking menu cooked last time, the process moves to step S105.

In step S105, the operation control unit 15 as a temperature determination unit measures the temperature t of the cooking container with the temperature sensor 11, and determines whether the measured temperature t of the cooking container is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature T0 ( step S106). This predetermined temperature T0 is, for example, 80.degree. This predetermined temperature T0 is not limited to 80.degree. C., and may be higher or lower than 80.degree.

When the temperature t of the cooking container is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature T0, the temperature of the cooking container has not decreased so much, and not much time has passed since the previous cooking. Therefore, for example, when there is a large number of items to be cooked, the same cooking is continued in multiple batches, or when the same cooking is reheated due to insufficient heating time. Since there is a high possibility that the same cooking menu will be selected, the information on the previous cooking menu is read (step S113), and the process proceeds to step S108. By the way, when the same cooking is continued in multiple batches due to the large number of items to be cooked, for example, eight saury are cooked in two batches of four each.

In step S108, the operation control unit 15 as the initial setting change unit selects the first selectable initial setting menu based on the read information regarding the previous cooking menu, instead of the previously determined cooking menu. , and the initial heating power is changed from the predetermined heating power to the heating power when cooking with the previous cooking menu.

Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 5(b), when the automatic menu selection switch 25 is first pressed, the initial setting menu is not the predetermined cooking menu "toast" but the previous cooking menu. The cooking menu is changed to, for example, "fish: grilled whole", and the cooking menu display lamp 43 corresponding to "fish: grilled whole" lights up. Also, as the initial setting heat power, instead of the predetermined heat power "medium", it is changed to "low", which is the heat power at the time of cooking "fish: grilled whole", which is the previous cooking menu. , the heating power display lamp 44 corresponding to "low" lights up.

Also, as shown in FIG. 6(b), for example, when the cooking mode selection switch 26 is first pressed, the initial setting menu is not the predetermined cooking menu "Bake". The cooking menu that was cooked last time, for example, "warm" is changed, and the cooking menu display lamp 46 corresponding to "warm" lights up. In addition, the initial setting heat power is changed from "medium", which is a predetermined heat power, to "low", which is the heat power at the time of cooking of the previous cooking menu, "warm", for example, "weak". ” lights up.

After that, the user manually performs the setting as necessary. For example, when the user selects the cooking menu that was cooked last time but wants to change the heating power of the previous cooking, he or she operates the heating power adjusting switch 27 to switch the heating power to the desired heating power.

When it is determined in step S106 that the temperature t of the cooking vessel is not equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature T0, the temperature of the cooking vessel has decreased. It is assumed that, for example, when a considerable amount of time has passed since the previous cooking and cooking different from the previous cooking is performed. Therefore, it is highly likely that another cooking different from the previous cooking will be performed, and the process proceeds to step S107.

In step S107, the information on the cooking menu cooked last time is reset (erased), and the process proceeds to step S108.

In this case, in step S108, as in the case where the information on the previous cooking menu does not exist, the user normally manually selects and sets the cooking menu, etc., and sets the cooking container according to the cooking menu. be. That is, in this case, there is no change in the initial setting menu or the like, and the switching of cooking menus by operation is performed in a predetermined normal order in consideration of ease of use by the user.

In step S108, after finishing the selection of the cooking menu and the heating power, etc., when the lighting/extinguishing switch 28 is operated and ignited, automatic cooking starts (step S109), and when the automatic cooking ends (step S110), it ends. Information on the cooking menu for the current automatic cooking is stored (step S111), and when the power is turned off (step S112), the process ends.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the temperature of the cooking container is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature and there is a high possibility that the same cooking menu as the previous cooking will be selected, the initial setting menu that can be selected first is predetermined. In other words, the previous cooking menu is selected first, and the user who wants to do the same cooking as last time can switch the selected cooking menu. , there is no need to operate the auto menu selection switch 25 or the cooking mode selection switch 26, and usability is improved.

On the other hand, when the temperature of the cooking container is lower than the predetermined temperature and there is a high possibility that cooking different from the previous cooking will be selected, the initially selectable initial setting menu is not changed to the previous cooking menu. , the user can first select a predetermined cooking menu in consideration of ease of use. When this first cooking menu is not the desired cooking menu, the user can operate the automatic menu selection switch 25 or the cooking mode selection switch 26 to switch the cooking menu and select the desired cooking menu. .

[Second embodiment]
FIG. 8 is a flow chart showing an example of control according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

In this second embodiment, even if the temperature of the cooking container when cooking is started is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature, when the temperature of the cooking container is higher than the temperature of the cooking container at the end of the previous cooking, the initial setting is performed. When the menu is not changed, in other words, when the temperature of the cooking container is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature and the temperature of the cooking container is equal to or lower than the temperature of the cooking container at the end of the previous cooking, the initial setting menu is selected. , is to change to the previous cooking menu.

When the temperature of the cooking container is higher than the temperature of the cooking container at the end of the previous cooking, there is a high possibility that the cooking container will be replaced with another high-temperature cooking container and cooking different from the previous cooking will be performed. Therefore, in this case, even if the temperature of the cooking container is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature, the initial setting menu is not changed.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, first, when the gas stove 1 is turned on (step S201), it is determined whether or not the grill door 6a is closed (step S202), and the grill door 6a is closed. When it is closed, it is determined whether or not there is an instruction to select a cooking menu (step S203).

When there is a cooking menu selection command, the temperature of the cooking container at the end of the previous cooking memorized by the execution of the previous cooking menu is stored in response to the selection operation of the cooking menu of the current cooking assuming that the selection operation of the cooking menu of this cooking is performed. It is determined whether or not there is information on the previously cooked cooking menu including information on T1 (step S204), and when there is no information on the cooking menu, the process proceeds to step S208.

In this case, in step S208, since there is no information about the previous cooking menu, the user normally manually selects and sets the cooking menu, etc., and sets the cooking container according to the cooking menu. In this case, there is no change in the initial setting menu or the like, and switching of cooking menus by operation is performed in a predetermined normal order in consideration of ease of use by the user.

In step S204, when the information of the cooking menu cooked last time exists, it moves to step S205.

In step S205, the operation control unit 15 as a temperature determination unit measures the temperature t of the cooking container using the temperature sensor 11, and determines whether the measured temperature t of the cooking container is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature T0. (Step S206). When the temperature t of the cooking vessel is not equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature T0, the process proceeds to step S207, and when it is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature T0, the process proceeds to step S214.

When it is determined in step S206 that the temperature t of the cooking container is not equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature T0, the temperature of the cooking container has decreased, and it is possible to perform cooking different from the previous cooking after a considerable amount of time has passed since the previous cooking. In step S207, the information regarding the cooking menu cooked last time is reset (erased), and the process proceeds to step S208.

In this case, in step S208, as in the case where the information on the previous cooking menu does not exist, the user normally manually selects and sets the cooking menu, etc., and sets the cooking container according to the cooking menu. be. That is, in this case, there is no change in the initial setting menu or the like, and the switching of cooking menus by operation is performed in a predetermined normal order in consideration of ease of use by the user.

In step S214, the operation control unit 15 as the temperature determination unit determines whether or not the measured temperature t of the cooking vessel is higher than the temperature T1 of the cooking vessel at the end of the previous cooking. , when the temperature of the cooking container is higher than the temperature T1 at the end of the previous cooking, there is a high possibility that a different high-temperature cooking container from the previous cooking container will be set and cooking different from the previous one will be performed. The process proceeds to S207 to reset (delete) the information on the cooking menu cooked last time.

When it is determined in step S214 that the measured temperature t of the cooking vessel is not higher than the temperature T1 of the cooking vessel at the end of the previous cooking, another high-temperature cooking vessel different from the previous cooking vessel is set. In addition, since the temperature t of the cooking container measured in step S206 is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature T0, not much time has passed since the previous cooking, and the previous cooking is not performed. Since there is a high possibility that the same cooking as the cooking will be performed, the information on the previous cooking menu is read (step S215), and the process proceeds to step S208.

In step S208, the operation control unit 15 as the initial setting changing unit selects the first selectable initial setting menu based on the read information regarding the previous cooking menu, instead of the previously determined cooking menu. , and the initial heating power is changed from the predetermined heating power to the heating power when cooking with the previous cooking menu. After that, the user manually performs the setting as necessary.

After finishing the selection of the cooking menu and the heating power in this step S208, when the lighting/extinguishing switch 28 is operated and ignited, automatic cooking is started (step S209), and when automatic cooking is finished (step S210), The temperature T1 of the cooking container at the time of termination is stored (step S211), information regarding the cooking menu of the current automatic cooking that has been terminated is stored (step S212), and when the power is turned off (step S213), the process is terminated.

According to this embodiment, even when the temperature of the cooking vessel is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature and the possibility that the same cooking menu as the previous cooking is selected is high, the temperature of the cooking vessel is higher than the temperature at the end of the previous cooking. When it is high, there is a high possibility that the cooking container will be replaced with another high-temperature cooking container, and cooking different from the previous cooking will be performed, so the initial setting menu is not changed. As a result, when the user changes the cooking container and tries to perform cooking different from the previous cooking, the previous cooking menu is not selected as the initial setting menu, thereby improving usability.

[Third Embodiment]
FIG. 9 is a flow chart showing an example of control in the third embodiment.

In this third embodiment, even if the temperature of the cooking container when cooking is started is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature, the initial setting menu is changed when the elapsed time from the end of the previous cooking is not equal to or less than a predetermined time. No, in other words, when the temperature of the cooking container is a predetermined temperature or more and the elapsed time from the end of the previous cooking is a predetermined time or less, the initial setting menu is changed to the previous cooking menu. is.

When the elapsed time from the end of the previous cooking is less than or equal to the predetermined time is when the time interval from the previous cooking to the current cooking is short. It is assumed that the same cooking is to be performed continuously, or that the same cooking is to be reheated due to insufficient heating time. In such a case, the possibility that the same cooking menu will be selected increases.

In the third embodiment, it is determined from the temperature of the cooking container that the same cooking menu as the previous cooking is likely to be selected, and from the elapsed time from the end of the previous cooking to the start of the current cooking. When it is determined that the same cooking menu as the previous cooking is likely to be selected, that is, when the possibility of selecting the same cooking menu as the previous cooking is considerably high, the initial setting menu is changed to the previous cooking menu. It is a change to the cooking menu.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, first, when the gas stove 1 is turned on (step S301), it is determined whether the grill door 6a is closed (step S302), and the grill door 6a is closed. When it is closed, it is determined whether or not there is an instruction to select a cooking menu (step S303).

When there is a cooking menu selection command, the cooking start time j1 at that time is measured (step S304) assuming that the operation to start the current cooking is performed, and the previous cooking menu stored by the previous execution of the cooking mode is selected. It is determined whether or not there is information on the previous cooking menu including the cooking end time j2 (step S305), and if there is no information on the previous cooking menu, the process proceeds to step S310.

In this case, in step S310, since there is no information about the previous cooking menu, the user normally manually selects and sets the cooking menu, etc., and sets the cooking container according to the cooking menu. In this case, there is no change in the initial setting menu or the like, and switching of cooking menus by operation is performed in a predetermined normal order in consideration of ease of use by the user.

In step S305, when the information of the cooking menu cooked last time exists, it moves to step S306. In step S306, the operation control unit 15 as the elapsed time determination unit calculates the elapsed time (j1-j2) from the previous cooking end time j2 to the current cooking start time j1, and the elapsed time is the predetermined time J0. Determine whether or not: This predetermined time J0 is, for example, 10 minutes. This predetermined time J0 is not limited to 10 minutes, and may be longer or shorter than 10 minutes.

In step S306, when the elapsed time (j1-j2) from the previous cooking end time j2 to the current cooking start time j1 is not equal to or less than the predetermined time J0, that is, when it is determined that it is not equal to or less than 10 minutes, the previous Since more than 10 minutes have passed since cooking, it is likely that cooking different from the previous cooking will be performed, and the process proceeds to step S309.

In step S309, since there is a high possibility that cooking different from the previous cooking will be performed, the information regarding the cooking menu cooked last time is reset (erased), and the process proceeds to step S310.

In this case, in step S310, as in the case where the information on the previous cooking menu does not exist, the user selects and sets the cooking menu, etc. by normal manual operation, and the cooking container corresponding to the cooking menu is set. be. That is, in this case, there is no change in the initial setting menu or the like, and the switching of cooking menus by operation is performed in a predetermined normal order in consideration of ease of use by the user.

In step 306, when the elapsed time (j1-j2) from the previous cooking end time j2 to the current cooking start time j1 is equal to or less than the predetermined time J0, that is, when it is equal to or less than 10 minutes, the previous cooking When the time interval from cooking to the current cooking is short. It is time to heat, and it is likely that the same cooking as the previous cooking will be performed, so the process moves to step S307.

In step S307, the operation control unit 15 as the temperature determination unit measures the temperature t of the cooking vessel and determines whether the measured temperature t of the cooking vessel is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature T0 (step S308).

When the temperature t of the cooking container is not equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature T0, the temperature t of the cooking container is not equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature T0, the temperature of the cooking container is sufficiently low, and cooking different from the previous cooking may be performed. It is determined that the probability is high, and the process moves to step S309. In step S309, the information on the previously cooked cooking menu is reset as described above.

In step S308, when the temperature t of the cooking container is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature T0, it is determined that not much time has passed since the previous cooking and there is a high possibility that the same cooking as the previous cooking will be performed. move to In step S316, since there is a high possibility that the same cooking as the previous cooking will be performed, information regarding the previous cooking menu is read, and the process proceeds to step S310.

In step S310, the operation control unit 15 as the initial setting change unit selects the first selectable initial setting menu based on the read information regarding the previous cooking menu, instead of the previously determined cooking menu. , and the initial heating power is changed from the predetermined heating power to the heating power when cooking with the previous cooking menu. After that, the user manually performs the setting as necessary.

After finishing the selection of the cooking menu and the heat power in this step S310, when the lighting/extinguishing switch 28 is operated and ignited, the automatic cooking starts (step S311), and when the automatic cooking ends (step S312), it ends. The information about the cooking menu of the current automatic cooking is stored (step S313), the cooking end time j2 of the current automatic cooking is stored (step S314), and when the power is turned off (step S315), the process ends.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is determined from the temperature of the cooking container that the same cooking menu as the previous cooking is likely to be selected, and the elapsed time from the end of the previous cooking to the start of the current cooking When it is determined that the same cooking menu as the previous cooking is likely to be selected from the Since the cooking menu is changed to the previous cooking menu, when the user intends to cook with a different cooking menu from the previous cooking, the same cooking menu as the previous cooking is less likely to be initially selected as the initial setting menu. Thus, it is possible to more reliably save the trouble of operation when selecting a cooking menu.

The elapsed time from the end of the previous cooking to the start of the current cooking may be measured by a timer.

[Fourth Embodiment]
FIG. 10 is a flow chart showing an example of control in the fourth embodiment.

In this fourth embodiment, when starting cooking, the temperature of the cooking container detected by the temperature sensor 11 is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature, and the possibility that the same cooking menu as the previous one will be selected is high. When changing the setting menu to the cooking menu that was cooked last time, when the timer time was set in the previous cooking, the temperature of the cooking container is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature, so the initial setting timer time is set. , instead of a predetermined timer time, the timer time is changed to a timer time shorter than the timer time of the previous cooking.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, first, when the gas stove 1 is turned on (step S401), it is determined whether or not the grill door 6a is closed (step S402), and the grill door 6a is closed. When it is closed, it is determined whether or not there is a command to select a cooking menu (step S403).

When there is a cooking menu selection command, assuming that the cooking menu selection operation for the current cooking is performed, the previous cooking including the timer time of the previous cooking stored by the execution of the previous cooking menu is performed in response to the operation. It is determined whether or not there is information on the cooking menu that was selected (step S404), and if there is no information on the previous cooking menu, the process proceeds to step S408. In this case, in step S408, since there is no information about the previous cooking menu, the user normally manually selects and sets the cooking menu, etc., and sets the cooking container according to the cooking menu. In this case, there is no change in the initial setting menu or the like, and switching of cooking menus by operation is performed in a predetermined normal order in consideration of ease of use by the user.

In step S407, since there is a high possibility that cooking different from the previous cooking will be performed, the information regarding the cooking menu cooked last time is reset (erased), and the process proceeds to step S408.

In this case, in step S408, as in the case where the information on the previous cooking menu does not exist, the user normally manually selects and sets the cooking menu, etc., and sets the cooking container according to the cooking menu. be. That is, in this case, there is no change in the initial setting menu or the like, and the switching of cooking menus by operation is performed in a predetermined normal order in consideration of ease of use by the user.

In step S406, when the temperature t of the cooking vessel is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature T0, it is determined that not much time has passed since the previous cooking and there is a high possibility that the same cooking as the previous cooking will be performed. move.

In step S413, the current timer time is calculated from the previous cooking timer time included in the information on the previous cooking menu, and the process proceeds to step S414. In calculating the timer time, since the temperature t of the cooking vessel has already reached the predetermined temperature T0 or higher, the timer time is calculated so as to be shorter than the timer time of the previous cooking. In this example, the timer time is calculated at, for example, 80% of the timer time of the previous cooking. The calculation of this timer time is not limited to 80%, and may be shorter than the timer time of the previous cooking.

Next, in step S414, it is highly likely that the same cooking as the previous cooking will be performed, so information on the previous cooking menu is read, and the process proceeds to step S408.

In step S408, the operation control unit 15 as the initial setting change unit selects the first selectable initial setting menu based on the read information regarding the previous cooking menu, instead of the previously determined cooking menu. , and the initial heating power is changed from the predetermined heating power to the heating power of the previously cooked cooking menu. Further, the initial setting timer time is changed to a timer time shorter than the timer time of the previous cooking, instead of a predetermined timer time. For example, in the example of FIG. 6, the display unit 30 displays the predetermined timer time shown in FIG. A timer time shorter than the timer time of the previous cooking shown in (b), for example, "8" minutes, is displayed.

After that, the user manually performs the setting as necessary.

After the selection of the cooking menu, heat power, timer time, etc. is completed in step S408, the ignition/extinguishing switch 28 is operated to ignite, automatic cooking starts (step S409), and when automatic cooking ends (step S410), information including the timer time related to the cooking menu of the current automatic cooking that has ended is stored (step S411), and when the power is turned off (step S412), the process ends.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, if the temperature t of the cooking container is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature T0 and there is a high possibility that the same cooking as the previous cooking will be performed, when changing the initial setting menu etc. When there is information on the timer time of cooking, the initial setting timer time is changed to a timer time shorter than the timer time of the previous cooking.

When the user continues the same cooking as the previous cooking, the temperature of the grill chamber 5 is higher than that of the previous cooking, and the timer time is set shorter than the timer time of the previous cooking. In this embodiment, when the temperature t of the cooking vessel is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature T0, the initial setting timer time is changed to a timer time shorter than the timer time of the previous cooking. The operation for shortening the timer time becomes unnecessary, or the operation is reduced, and usability is improved.
