Hereinafter, the first embodiment will be described. The basic configuration of this embodiment will be described focusing on the difference because it is the same as Embodiment 1 by reference. Further, the same functions as those of the reference embodiment 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

図５、図６を用いて本実施の形態について説明する。図５は本実施の形態の加熱調理器のブロック図である。また、図６は本実施の形態の加熱料理器の斜視図と操作表示手段９の構成図である。 This embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 5 is a block diagram of the cooking device of the present embodiment. FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the cooking device of the present embodiment and a configuration diagram of the operation display means 9.

制御手段８は温度検知手段付の被加熱物（第１の被加熱物）がどの加熱手段６に置かれているかを検出する温度検知手段付被加熱物検出手段１６を備えている。図６（ｃ）は自
動制御機能を使用するための第３の操作表示手段９ｆである。加熱調理器通信手段７はＩＣタグ付のレシピカードの内容を読み取ることができる。自動スイッチ９ｆ２を押すと加熱調理器通信手段７は読み取りモードになり、レシピカードを読み取るために出力をＯＮにする。本実施の形態ではレシピカードを読み取るかまたは自動スイッチが押されてから１０秒間経過するまで出力をＯＮにする。１０秒間経過してもレシピカードが加熱調理器通信手段７に読み取られない場合は出力をＯＦＦにする。 The control means 8 includes a heated object detecting means 16 with temperature detecting means for detecting which heating means 6 is placed with the heated object with the temperature detecting means (first heated object). FIG. 6C shows a third operation display means 9f for using the automatic control function. The cooking device communication means 7 can read the contents of the recipe card with the IC tag. When the automatic switch 9f2 is pressed, the heating cooker communication means 7 enters the reading mode and turns on the output to read the recipe card. In this embodiment, the output is turned on until 10 seconds have elapsed since the recipe card was read or the automatic switch was pressed. If the recipe card is not read by the heating cooker communication means 7 even after 10 seconds, the output is turned OFF.

自動スイッチ９ｆ２が押され、レシピカードが読み取られると制御手段８は読み取ったレシピカード内の調理シーケンスを記憶手段１１に記憶し、表示手段９ｆ１の「自動」の右横に読み取ったレシピカードの番号を表示する。 When the automatic switch 9f2 is pressed and the recipe card is read, the control means 8 stores the cooking sequence in the read recipe card in the storage means 11, and the number of the recipe card read to the right of “Auto” on the display means 9f1 Is displayed.

レシピカードを読み取ったあと入切スイッチ９ｆ３を押すと自動調理をスタートさせる前に温度検知手段付被加熱物検出手段１６は温度検知手段付被加熱物がどの加熱手段６にあるかを検知し、その後検出した加熱手段６を制御し、自動調理をスタートする。 When the on / off switch 9f3 is pressed after reading the recipe card, the heated object detecting means 16 with temperature detecting means detects the heating means 6 with the temperature detecting means before starting automatic cooking, Thereafter, the detected heating means 6 is controlled to start automatic cooking.

次に、図７を用いて温度検知手段付被加熱物検出手段１６について詳しく説明する。図７は、本実施の形態における温度検知手段付被加熱物検出手段１６により加熱手段６がＯＮ／ＯＦＦされる様子と温度検知手段２の温度変化を表したグラフである。 Next, the heated object detecting means 16 with temperature detecting means will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a graph showing how the heating means 6 is turned ON / OFF by the heated object detecting means 16 with temperature detection means and the temperature change of the temperature detection means 2 in the present embodiment.

まず、入切スイッチ９ｆ３が押されると、被加熱物通信手段３と通信を行ない、被加熱物通信手段３内のＩＣに記憶されている被加熱物の情報を読み取る。ここで、温度検知手段付の被加熱物は個々の特性に応じた情報を被加熱物通信手段３内のＩＣに記憶しているものとする。本実施の形態では、温度検知手段付被加熱物検出手段１６にて使用する閾値を保存している。本実施の形態では前記閾値を２℃とする。 First, when the on / off switch 9f3 is pressed, communication with the heated object communication means 3 is performed, and information on the heated object stored in the IC in the heated object communication means 3 is read. Here, it is assumed that the object to be heated with the temperature detecting means stores information corresponding to each characteristic in the IC in the object to be heated communication means 3. In this embodiment, the threshold value used in the heated object detecting means 16 with temperature detecting means is stored. In the present embodiment, the threshold is 2 ° C.

次に、加熱手段６ａから順番に温度検知手段付被加熱物を検出する。まず、温度検知手段２の温度を読み取り、記憶手段１１にＴ１として記憶する。次に加熱手段６ａの出力を５秒間ＯＮする。本実施の形態では４００Ｗ出力するものとする。５秒後の温度検知手段２の検知結果を記憶手段１１にＴ２として記憶する。 Next, the object to be heated with temperature detection means is detected in order from the heating means 6a. First, the temperature of the temperature detection means 2 is read and stored in the storage means 11 as T1. Next, the output of the heating means 6a is turned on for 5 seconds. In this embodiment, 400 W is output. The detection result of the temperature detection means 2 after 5 seconds is stored in the storage means 11 as T2.

Ｔ２−Ｔ１を計算し△Ｔを得、最初に被加熱物通信手段３より読み込んだ閾値と比較し、△Ｔが閾値よりも大きければ加熱手段６ａに温度検知手段付被加熱物があると検出する。また、△Ｔが閾値以下であれば同じ動作を加熱手段６ｂについて行なう。 T2−T1 is calculated to obtain ΔT, which is compared with the threshold value first read from the article-to-be-heated communication means 3, and if ΔT is larger than the threshold value, it is detected that there is an object to be heated with temperature detecting means in the heating means 6a. To do. If ΔT is equal to or less than the threshold value, the same operation is performed on the heating means 6b.

本実施の形態では温度検知手段２を被加熱物である調理容器１の底に配置しており、電磁誘導加熱にて調理容器１の底が加熱されると調理容器１の底が瞬時に加熱され、温度検知手段２の温度が上昇する。調理容器１内に内容物がある場合でも内容物の対流が起こり、内容物の温度変化を温度検知手段２が検知するまでは調理容器１の底の熱伝導により温度検知手段２の温度が上昇するため加熱手段６が加熱を開始するとすぐに温度上昇が起こる。 In the present embodiment, the temperature detecting means 2 is arranged at the bottom of the cooking container 1 that is the object to be heated. When the bottom of the cooking container 1 is heated by electromagnetic induction heating, the bottom of the cooking container 1 is instantaneously heated. As a result, the temperature of the temperature detecting means 2 rises. Even if the contents are in the cooking container 1, convection of the contents occurs, and the temperature of the temperature detecting means 2 rises due to heat conduction at the bottom of the cooking container 1 until the temperature detecting means 2 detects a temperature change of the contents. Therefore, as soon as the heating means 6 starts heating, the temperature rises.

なお、本実施の形態では加熱手段６の出力を４００Ｗ、加熱手段６のＯＮ時間を５秒、閾値を２℃としたが、調理容器１の底の熱伝導率に応じて、閾値及び加熱手段６の出力を変更する必要がある。また、温度検知手段付被加熱物を検知できれば出力、時間、閾値はこれに限られるものではない。また、本実施の形態では５秒ＯＮのみの制御としたが、より正確に検出するためにＯＮ／ＯＦＦを数回繰り返してもよい。 In the present embodiment, the output of the heating means 6 is 400 W, the ON time of the heating means 6 is 5 seconds, and the threshold value is 2 ° C. The output of 6 needs to be changed. Further, the output, time, and threshold value are not limited to this as long as the object to be heated with temperature detecting means can be detected. In this embodiment, the control is only ON for 5 seconds. However, ON / OFF may be repeated several times for more accurate detection.

全ての加熱手段６について温度検知手段付被加熱物検出手段１６により温度検知手段付の被加熱物が見つからなかった場合は被加熱物が正しく加熱手段６の上に設置されていない可能性があるため、自動調理をスタートさせずに、表示手段９ｆ−１に「エラー２」を
表示し、報知手段１０を０．５秒ＯＮ／０．５秒ＯＦＦを３回繰り返し、使用者に被加熱物が正しく加熱手段６の上に設置されていないため自動調理をスタートできないことを伝える。 If no object to be heated with temperature detection means is found by the object detection means 16 with temperature detection means for all the heating means 6, the object to be heated may not be correctly placed on the heating means 6. Therefore, without starting automatic cooking, "error 2" is displayed on the display means 9f-1, and the notification means 10 is repeated 0.5 seconds ON / 0.5 seconds OFF three times to inform the user of the object to be heated. Tells that automatic cooking cannot be started because it is not correctly placed on the heating means 6.

なお、本実施の形態では使用者に被加熱物が正しく加熱手段６の上に設置されていないことを伝えるのに０．５秒ＯＮ／０．５秒ＯＦＦを３回繰り返すとしたが上記内容が伝わればこれに限られるものではない。 In this embodiment, 0.5 second ON / 0.5 second OFF is repeated three times to inform the user that the object to be heated is not correctly placed on the heating means 6. If it is transmitted, it is not limited to this.

このように加熱調理器を構成することで、温度検知手段付被加熱物（第１の被加熱物）がどの加熱手段６に設置されているかを検出することができ、使用者にわずらわしさを与えることなく、且つ異なった加熱手段６を選択されること無く、複数の加熱手段を有する加熱調理器において、任意の加熱手段にて温度検知手段付被加熱物（第１の被加熱物）の温度情報を使用した自動調理を行なうことが可能となる。 By configuring the heating cooker in this way, it is possible to detect which heating means 6 the object to be heated with temperature detection means (first object to be heated) is installed, which is troublesome for the user. In a heating cooker having a plurality of heating means without giving and selecting different heating means 6, an object to be heated (first heated object) with temperature detection means can be used with any heating means. It becomes possible to perform automatic cooking using temperature information.
