う問題があった。2. Description of the Related Art In an induction heating cooker, a high-frequency current is applied to a heating coil to generate a high-frequency magnetic field, and a pan (load) magnetically coupled to the heating coil generates Joule heat due to an eddy current to generate heat in the pan itself. It is a cooker that performs cooking by letting it cook. Therefore, there is a problem that the heating unit cannot be visually recognized, unlike a gas cooker in which a flame is visible or an electric heater in which the heating unit glows red.

て調理をするとき一々確認をするのは煩わしかった。Since the induction heating cooker cannot visually grasp the heating state, it is necessary to turn on the power for safety and set the heating power by placing the heating cooking container on the top plate for safety. It is common to start heating. Various methods have been proposed to visually determine whether or not heating is being performed as seen in conventional examples. However,
Little attention has been paid to the power-on / off state. That is, it is unknown whether or not the power is on even if the cooking container is placed on the top plate. Therefore, it was necessary to check the power display unit one by one. However, since the display of the power supply display unit is small and is far from the heating unit that heats the cooking container, it is troublesome to check each time when busy or when cooking continuously.

くなる。(Embodiment 1) The present embodiment is to provide a display content that allows the user to visually recognize that the power has been turned on to the heating unit 3 simultaneously with the power being turned on. In this embodiment, the contents of the display are displayed as figures. In the above configuration,
When the power switch 8 is turned on, the power supply display section 9 is turned on and the light emitting means 7 emits light at the same time, and the light is transmitted through the translucent top plate 2, and the power is supplied near the heating section 3 on the top plate. Displays a graphic that indicates that it has been inserted. The shape of the figure may be any shape that can be easily visually grasped.
The shape may be a rod-shaped light-emitting body having a radius of about, but if the figure surrounds a part or the whole of the periphery of the heating coil 4, for example, a part or all of a polygon such as a circle or a square, the figure is large. It becomes easy to catch visually. Further, since the place where the cooking container is placed is clearly shown, the convenience is improved.

てもよい。As the display form of the figure, a lighting or blinking lighting method may be used, and various colors such as red and blue may be used. When there are two heating units by induction heating as in the present embodiment, the display form of each heating unit may be changed. For example, the heating unit for fried food is displayed by blinking and lighted, and the heating unit for pan food is lit and displayed. Further, the color may be changed depending on the difference in the output of the heating unit.

て導光板を用いる方式が実用的である。Next, the light emitting means 7 will be described. In the case of a bar-shaped display, there is a method in which a bar-shaped light-emitting body, a semiconductor light-emitting element such as a light bulb or an LED, and the like are arranged in a line. In the case of a display surrounding part or all of the heating section, a method of arranging a ring-shaped light emitting element, a light bulb, or a semiconductor light emitting element may be used, but the cost may be increased. The method used is practical.

When the power switch 8 is turned on, the light source 15 at the center is turned on, and this light is guided by the light guide 14 to emit light at the peripheral portion. The light emitted from the peripheral portion displays a figure in the shape of a top plate, in this embodiment, a circle. In this case, if the diameter of the light guide 14 is slightly larger than the diameter of the heating coil 4,
A circle can be displayed around the.

【００３１】以上説明したように本実施例によれば、電
源の入りの状態を容易に確認することができる。しかし
電源を入りの状態とし実際には使用しない場合がある。
このような場合は以下に示すような方法とすればよい。As described above, according to the present embodiment, the power-on state can be easily confirmed. However, there are cases where the power is turned on and not actually used.
In such a case, the following method may be used.
【００３２】すなわち、電源スイッチ８が投入されてか

で行えば確認しやすい。(Embodiment 3) This embodiment is a method using a second output display section 12 provided at a front portion of a top plate. When the power switch 8 is turned on and the power is turned on, the light is turned on and off, and when the output is set, the light is turned on.
Normally, the second output display is divided into several stages to indicate the magnitude of the output. Therefore, the lighting range is wide in the case of the maximum output, but narrow in the case of the minimum output. Even in this case, it is preferable to make the lighting range slightly larger so that it can be easily visually confirmed. In addition, blinking lighting can be easily confirmed by displaying the maximum output.
