DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automatic bread maker used in ordinary households.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, automatic bread makers that can easily make bread even in ordinary households have come to be used frequently. For example, there is a configuration having the electric circuit shown in FIG. 2 with the configuration shown in FIG.

The configuration will be described. A firing chamber 2 is provided in the main body 1, and a heater 3 for heating is mounted in the firing chamber 2. Also, in the firing chamber 2,
There is also a bread baking mold 4 detachably mounted, and the baking mold 4 is heated by energizing the heater 3. Reference numeral 5 denotes a motor, which transfers the power of the motor 5 through a belt 6 to a baking mold 4.
The dough 7 at the inner bottom is driven to knead the dough. During cooking, the temperature detecting means 12 including the thermistor 8
, The detected temperature is transmitted to the control means 9. When the control unit 9 detects the detected temperature lower than a certain cooking control temperature, the heating control unit 10 energizes the heater 3. When the time measured by the control means 9 elapses a predetermined time, the motor control means 11 supplies power to the motor 5 to perform a kneading or degassing step. 13 is input means, 14 is display means,
Numeral 15 denotes a notifying means, by which the control means 9 notifies the end of cooking and the notification of raisins of grape bread.

In particular, a configuration diagram of the input means 13 and the display means 14 will be described with reference to FIG. Reference numeral 20 denotes an LCD in which all segments of the liquid crystal are turned on, and reference numeral 21 denotes L indicating the state
In the ED, lighting indicates that cooking is in progress, blinking indicates that heating is being completed after completion of cooking, and light extinguishing indicates other states. Reference numeral 22 denotes a push button switch, a menu switch switches a selection menu, a size switch selects a size, a timer switch sets a cooking reservation time, and a start / off switch starts and stops cooking.

In an automatic bread maker having such a configuration,
The cooking process is a cooking process as shown in FIG. 4, and the notification of the timing suitable for raisins during the cooking of grape bread is such that the notification sound during the kneading process is, for example, a 0.1 second beep (information sound). Sounded only eight times every 0.4 seconds, and ended in a few seconds.

[0006]

However, according to the conventional timing notification method suitable for raisin throwing, the user sometimes happens to be away from the user for a few seconds while the notification sound is sounding and misses it. is there. The raisin injection time of the grape bread is limited to a certain time during the kneading process, and if the notification sound is not heard, the raisin can not be thrown and the desired grape bread may not be baked .

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention is configured to notify a timing suitable for feeding food a plurality of times at intervals of several seconds.

[0008] With the above configuration, the user can be informed of the timing suitable for feeding the food without missing.

[0009]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The invention according to claim 1 of the present invention comprises a baking chamber having heating means, a baking mold removably mounted in the baking chamber, and a baking mold provided inside the baking mold. And a control means for controlling the cooking state of the bread by driving the mixing blades, wherein the control means informs a plurality of times of the timing suitable for feeding the ingredients during cooking, the automatic bread maker comprising: The notification sound at the timing suitable for food input is blown several times at a constant interval, so that the user can know the start of food input without missing.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided the automatic bread maker according to the first aspect, further comprising a stop means for stopping notification of a timing suitable for the input of the foodstuff. At the end, by stopping the notification sound at the timing suitable for the input of the food, it is not necessary to hear the notification sound at the timing suitable for the input of the unnecessary food.

[0011]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS (Embodiment 1) A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of this embodiment, FIG. 2 is an electric circuit diagram, and FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the configuration of an input means 13 and a display means 14. Omitted. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a notification pattern of timing suitable for raisin injection. At a timing suitable for raisin injection, a beep (information sound) is sounded eight times for 0.2 seconds in a one second cycle. Subsequently, after 30 seconds, 0.2 times in the 1 second cycle
The beeper sounds eight times per second.

Therefore, the first sounding time is 1
Seconds × 8 times = 16 seconds, and the sound is emitted for 16 seconds after 30 seconds, so that the sound is emitted for 62 seconds in the total time. However, if it is sounding continuously for 62 seconds,
The user feels noisy or uncomfortable. For this reason, the user can know the timing of raisin insertion without feeling uncomfortable by notifying the timing suitable for raisin insertion several times at intervals of several seconds.

It is preferable that the notification time of the timing suitable for the raisin feeding is 30 seconds or more, and that the notification is performed again one minute after the start of the notification of the timing suitable for the raisin feeding, is suitable for the raisin feeding. Makes it harder to miss the notification of the timing.

(Embodiment 2) Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an electric circuit. FIG. 6 shows a configuration diagram of the input means 13 and the display means 14. The same reference numerals are given to the same components as those in the above-described conventional embodiment, and the description will be omitted.

The buzzer switch 23 in FIG. 6 is a switch for stopping the notification of the timing suitable for raisins in the grape bread. When the user sets the raisins by the notification of the timing suitable for the raisins during the cooking of the grape bread. At the same time, by pressing the buzzer off switch 23, it is possible to stop the notification of the timing suitable for turning on the raisins.

After the notification of the timing suitable for the raisins input, the notification of the timing suitable for the raisins input, which continues to ring even if the raisins are set immediately, is annoying. We can bake without harshness.

The buzzer switch 23 may be used together with another switch, for example, a menu switch.

[0018]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, it is possible to obtain the effect of baking a desired bread without overlooking a notification sound at a timing suitable for feeding food.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the effect is obtained that the bread is baked without noticeable harshness by the notification sound at a timing suitable for feeding the ingredients.
