Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a bread maker for general household use.

Conventional technology For example, the conventional bread maker shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 56-3028 always controls the temperature at the same temperature even when the outside temperature changes depending on the season and the temperature of the ingredients and water changes. Therefore, for example, at high temperatures in summer, the dough is over-kneaded and over-fermented, resulting in poor bread results. The bread maker could also be started even if the bread maker was forgotten to contain ingredients.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention As described above, in conventional bread makers, if you turn on the machine at high temperatures in the summer or when the main unit is hot due to continuous use, the dough will over-knead and over-ferment, resulting in poor bread completion. In order to make good-quality bread even at high temperatures in the summer or when the machine is hot, it is necessary to use cold water when adding it together with the flour. And it is necessary to inform the user of this fact. It is also necessary to prevent the bread maker from starting in such a situation.

Also, the ability to start the bread maker without a bread pan means that the bread maker can be started even if the user forgets to insert the bread pan, and in this case, bread will not be made even if the bread baking operation is performed. In such a situation (forgetting to insert the bread pan), it is desirable to prevent the bread maker from starting, and it is necessary to notify the user of this fact.

The object of the present invention is to provide a bread maker that solves these problems.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a baking device configured with a heater provided at the bottom of the baking chamber, a bread baking mold that is detachably installed in the baking chamber, and the bread baking mold. a kneading device comprised of kneading blades disposed at the inner bottom of the pan and rotationally driven by a motor; a temperature detection means circumscribed to the bread baking mold for detecting the temperature of the bread baking mold; and a temperature detection means for detecting the presence or absence of the bread baking mold. a bread baking mold detection means for detecting the temperature, a control section for controlling each of the devices, a determination section for determining whether starting is appropriate or not by determining input information from the temperature detection means and the bread baking mold detection means, and control by the determination section. If it is determined that the start of the engine is inappropriate, the system is equipped with a notification section that notifies the user of this fact.

Effects With the above-described configuration, the present invention notifies the user that the temperature of the bread baking mold (temperature of the material) is high during high temperatures in summer or during continuous use by notifying the user of the fact that the temperature of the bread baking mold is high. This allows you to leave the main unit until it has cooled down sufficiently, or to encourage you to use cold water when adding it with the flour. Furthermore, even if you forget to insert the bread mold, the notification section can notify you of this fact.

Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings. Fig. 1 shows the notification section and operation section of an embodiment of the bread maker of the present invention, and in this Fig. 1, 1 indicates "no bread case" 1a.
This is a display section including "inside high temperature" display 1b, etc.
Reference numeral 2 denotes an operating section, and this operating section 2 includes a course select switch 2a for process selection, switches 2b and 2c for time setting, a start switch 2d, and a cancel switch 2e.

FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing an embodiment of the bread maker of the present invention. In this FIG. is firing chamber 2
A kneading blade 26 is provided at the inner bottom of the kneading blade 3 and is rotatably driven by a motor 24 via a belt 25. The kneading blade 26 kneads the material. Reference numeral 27 denotes a baking device including a heater 28 provided at the bottom of the baking chamber 23, and a kneading device 29 is made up of the baking mold 22 and kneading blades 26.

FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of the bread maker of the present invention. In this FIG. 3, 1 is the display diagram shown in FIG. , 33 is a bread baking mold detection means for detecting the presence or absence of the bread baking mold 22;
7 is a baking device, 29 is a kneading device composed of a bread baking mold 22 and a kneading blade 26 which is rotationally driven by a motor 24, 34 is a control unit that controls the baking device 27 and the kneading device 29, and 35 is a temperature detection means 32
and a determination unit that determines whether starting is appropriate or not based on input information from the bread baking mold detection means 33, and 36 is a sequence controller that includes the determination unit 35 and the control unit 34, and specifically includes a one-chip microcomputer or the like. configured.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be explained. First, select an arbitrary process with the course select switch 2a and press the start switch 3.
starts measuring the temperature of the bread baking mold 22 by the temperature detection means 32, and at the same time starts measuring the temperature of the bread baking mold 22 by the temperature detection means 33.
The presence or absence of the bread baking mold 22 is detected. Here, the bread baking mold 22 is set, and if the temperature of the bread baking mold 22 is lower than the predetermined temperature, the control section 34 starts controlling the baking device 27 and the kneading device 27 according to the selected process.

However, if the temperature of the bread baking mold 22 is higher than a predetermined temperature, the display unit 1 will display the display 1b of "high temperature inside", and if you have forgotten to insert the bread baking mold 22, the display part 1 will display "bread case". "None" display 1a is displayed, and the selected process is not started.

Then, when the temperature of the bread baking mold 22 falls below a predetermined temperature and the bread baking mold 22 is set and the start switch 3 is pressed again, the control section 36 starts the selected process. Although the operation has been explained using a display section that displays warning characters, the operation is not limited to this. For example, the same effect can be obtained by simply making a sound using a buzzer or using a special sound. This is easy to imagine. Furthermore, the same effect can be achieved even if these are combined and the user is notified by display and sound.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, if the temperature of the bread baking mold (material temperature) is high and it is started as it is, such as during high temperatures in summer or when used continuously, the dough will be over-kneaded and over-fermented. In situations where bread is produced with poor quality, the notification unit notifies the user of the situation, so either leave the product until it cools down or leave it unattended.
Or you can be prompted to use cold water;
As a result, it is possible to make bread with good quality even during high temperatures in summer or when used continuously. Furthermore, even if the user forgets to insert the bread mold, the user can be notified of this fact, thereby preventing operational errors.
