Immersion process is the temperature that makes the water maintenance constant in pot 2, makes the process of rice water suction.The process of boiling is to make the temperature in pot continue to rise, and makes the process of water boiling.The boiling maintenance process is the fluidized state that maintains water, makes the starch gelatinization of rice, the process of making rice.The process of cooking rice over a slow fire is that the rice after boiling is boiled in a covered pot over a slow fire to steaming, makes pot interior rice complete equably the process of culinary art.Control method in above-mentioned each process is stored in control part 8.
The action in the situation that cooked in the eddy-current heating cooker of embodiment 1, at first, the user drops into the meter He Shui of scheduled volume to the inside of pot 2, pot 2 is arranged in cooker main body 1.After being arranged in cooker main body 1 by pot 2, utilize operation display part 13 to set the condition of cooking, the operation that is started to cook.After by the operation that starts to cook, to control part 8 inputs, cooking commencing signal, control part 8 starts immersion process.
Immersion process is following process: rice is immersed in than in the water of rice gelatinization point low (temperature of 60 ℃ of left and right), makes in advance the rice water suction, thus, in process afterwards, fully gelatinization is until the central part of rice.In addition, immersion process is to utilize the amylase contained in rice that starch is decomposed, and generates glucose, produces the process of rice sweet taste.
In embodiment 1, immersion process forms by the 1st immersion process as first half term with as the 2nd immersion process of the second half.In addition, in the present invention, with first half term and the second half of immersion process, be illustrated, but first half term and the second half are not illustrated in temporal immersion process half, only mean temporal priority.
Therefore, in immersion process, controlled, make for example, during predetermined soak time (, 20 minutes) in, temperature is lower than the rice gelatinization point, and the detected temperatures of pot temperature test section 9 is 60 ℃ of left and right.
At first, in the 1st immersion process of the first half term as immersion process, control part 8 is controlled, and makes pot 2 in as for example, than 60 ℃ of slightly high temperature, predetermined soaking temperatures (, 65 ℃).This predetermined soaking temperature is the highest temperature in the temperature lower than rice gelatinization point.Control part 8 makes the temperature detection of carrying out based on pot temperature test section 9, if 65 ℃ of its detected temperatures less thaies apply high frequency electric to heater coil 5 are heated pot 2.On the contrary, if detected temperatures, more than 65 ℃ stop applying high frequency electric to heater coil 5, stops the heating of pot 2.
Since the 1st immersion process through the 1st soak time A(for example, 15 minutes) time, proceed to the 2nd immersion process as the second half of immersion process.
In the 2nd immersion process, the detected temperatures of the switch element 205 of control part 8 based on being detected by component temperature test section 208, stop applying high frequency electric to heater coil 5, until the detected temperatures of component temperature test section 208 becomes below the cooling maximum temperature of predetermined element.
The temperature of switch element 205, in the longer process of time that applies high frequency electric to heater coil 5, reaches maximum temperature in the process of boiling or boiling maintenance process.
In the 2nd immersion process, when the detected temperatures of switch element 205 reaches the cooling maximum temperature of predetermined element, the 2nd immersion process finishes, and proceeds to the ensuing process that boils.The cooling maximum temperature of this predetermined element refers to, switch element 205 is in the situation that be no more than as the maximum temperature produced in the process that boils of the process after immersion process and boiling maintenance process that the storage temperature of switch element 205 and/or the ceiling temperature of all size (maximum rated temperature, temperature ceiling) etc. are the high limit of tolerance temperature, the temperature of switch element 205 when the process of boiling starts when immersion process finishes.The cooling maximum temperature of predetermined element is to utilize experiment or emulation etc. and the data that are pre-calculated out, and these data are stored in advance in control part 8.Therefore, the 2nd soak time B(in the 2nd immersion process for example, 5 minutes) be the time that the detected temperatures of switch element 205 reaches the cooling maximum temperature of predetermined element.
In the 2nd immersion process, apply high frequency electric if stop to heater coil 5, the thermal capacitance due to pot 2 makes pot temperature descend lentamente, if stop in short time, apply, can make pot 2 maintain the temperature province of the 60 ℃ left and right lower than rice gelatinization point, bring impact can to the performance of cooking.Therefore, in the 2nd immersion process, can, when making switch element 205 naturally cooling, make the rice water suction.
Become the cooling maximum temperature of predetermined element when following in the detected temperatures of component temperature test section 208, proceed to the process of boiling.
In the process of boiling, pot 2 is heated, for example, until the detected temperatures of pot temperature test section 9 reaches near the predetermined cooking temperature of the boiling point (, 100 ℃) of water.In addition, now, can be according to the difference of the thermograde of detected temperatures, judge by the amount of culinary art thing, the i.e. amount of cooking.
In the process of boiling, heater coil 5 is continued to carry out applying of high frequency electric, until for example reach, as near the predetermined cooking temperature boiling point of water (, 100 ℃).Therefore, in the process of boiling, switch element 205 reaches the situation of maximum temperature, is that switch element 205 reaches maximum temperature when the end of the process of boiling.
In the process of boiling, for example, when the detected temperatures of pot temperature test section 9 reaches predetermined cooking temperature (, 100 ℃), proceed to the boiling maintenance process.
The boiling maintenance process is the starch gelatinization that makes rice, the process of gelatinization degree being brought up to 50%~60% left and right.In the boiling maintenance process, control part 8 is moved inverter 7, to heater coil 5, applies high frequency electric, and pot 2 is added to thermal control so that pot 2 have water during, the meter He Shuis of pot in 2 maintain fluidized state.Now, control part 8 utilizes PWM to control in inverter 7, heater coil 5 is added to thermally operated ON/OFF and control.
In the boiling maintenance process, owing to making the water constantly boiling, therefore a large amount of steam that produces 100 ℃, unnecessary steam is discharged by steam drum 11, outside from from steam nozzle 11a to cooker main body 1 from steam port 4b.Utilize the heating action in this boiling maintenance process, make the water in pot 2 be absorbed, evaporate by rice, thus, the moisture in pot 2 becomes while almost not having, more than the temperature of pot 2 rises to the boiling point of water.For example, when the detected temperatures of pot temperature test section 9 reaches predetermined boiling and maintains end temp (, 130 ℃), finish the boiling maintenance process, proceed to the ensuing process of cooking rice over a slow fire.
In the process of boiling, before reaching near the boiling point of water, control part 8 is controlled and is made inverter 7 carry out discontinuously applying the high frequency electric of heater coil 5 by PWM, in ensuing boiling maintenance process, switch element 205 reaches the situation of maximum temperature, is that switch element 205 reaches maximum temperature when the end of boiling maintenance process.
In the eddy-current heating cooker of embodiment 1, in the boiling maintenance process, apply high frequency electric according to the detected temperatures of pot temperature test section 9 to heater coil 5, make the water in pot 2 can maintain boiling, therefore, when the amount of cooking is few, the application time of high frequency electric is short, long at the application time of the amount of cooking high frequency electric of many times.Therefore, if the amount of cooking is few, switch element 205 reaches maximum temperature when the process that boils finishes, if the amount of cooking is many, switch element 205 reaches maximum temperature when the boiling maintenance process finishes.
The process of cooking rice over a slow fire is the starch gelatinization that makes rice, gelatinization degree is brought up to near the process 100%.In the process of cooking rice over a slow fire, be charred, prevent that the temperature of rice from descending for fear of the bottom of a pan, promote gelatinization and make the rice homogenising in pot 2, thereby in the process of cooking rice over a slow fire, repeatedly append the heating of boiling (for example, 2 times) according to the elapsed time.In the process of cooking rice over a slow fire, control part 8 is controlled inverter 7 is carried out heater coil 5 is added to thermally operated ON/OFF control by PWM, for example, so that the temperature of pot temperature test section 9 keeps the predetermined temperature of cooking rice over a slow fire (, 80 ℃).And, in the process of cooking rice over a slow fire, after the scheduled time is carried out in the action of cooking rice over a slow fire, finish the process of cooking rice over a slow fire, complete whole processes of cooking.
In addition, in the eddy-current heating cooker of embodiment 1, with in the 2nd immersion process, when the detected temperatures of component temperature test section 208 is that the cooling maximum temperature of predetermined element is when following, the structure that proceeds to the ensuing process that boils is illustrated, but, also can not use component temperature test section 208 and utilize the predefined scheduled time to decide the finish time of the 2nd immersion process.For example, also can be configured to: in the 2nd immersion process, do not carry out the temperature detection of the switch element 205 based on component temperature test section 208, but, in during the cooling minimum time of predefined predetermined element, stop applying high frequency electric to heater coil 5.
After stopping applying high frequency electric to heater coil 5, by the naturally cooling temperature of switch element 205 that makes, descend.The cool time when maximum temperature that the cooling minimum time of predetermined element is switch element 205 in the process of boiling or boiling maintenance process is no more than the high limit of tolerance temperature such as ceiling temperature of the storage temperature of switch element 205 and/or all size, switch element 205.The cooling minimum time of this predetermined element is to utilize experiment or emulation etc. and the data that are pre-calculated out, and these data that calculate are as the cooling minimum time of predetermined element, pre-stored in control part 8.
In the eddy-current heating cooker as above formed like this, in the 2nd immersion process, in during the cooling minimum time of predetermined element, stop applying high frequency electric to heater coil 5, thus, switch element 205 can be suppressed to the storage temperature of this switch element 205 and/or the ceiling temperature of all size etc. below the high limit of tolerance temperature at the maximum temperature in the process of boiling and boiling maintenance process.Consequently, the eddy-current heating cooker of this embodiment becomes the cooker that safety and reliability is high.
In the embodiments of the present invention that as above form like this, for example, due to heater coil 5 and switch element 205 based on cooling unit (are not carried out, cooling fan) pressure is cooling, thereby be configured to and can make the Air Flow of eddy-current heating cooker inside few, further improve the heat insulating ability of pot 2.
As mentioned above, in the eddy-current heating cooker of embodiments of the present invention, the Air Flow of eddy-current heating cooker inside is few, improved the heat insulating ability of pot 2, therefore, even stop the heating to pot 2 in the 2nd immersion process temporarily, the temperature of pot 2 also just descends lentamente.Consequently, in the structure of embodiments of the present invention, as long as to stop be the short time to the heating in the 2nd immersion process, bring large impact can not to the performance of cooking, can make reliably switch element 205 cooling.
In addition, structure according to the embodiment of the present invention, in the 2nd immersion process, stop the high frequency electric applying to heater coil 5, thus, not only can carry out switch element 205 coolingly, and can carry out cooling to the rectifier cell of diode bridge 202.
As mentioned above, in eddy-current heating cooker of the present invention, can be in the situation that do not increase size, weight and the manufacturing cost of cooker, make reliably the element that uses in inverter naturally cooling, can, when maintaining the performance of cooking of eddy-current heating cooker, improve quietness, handlability and taking in property.
