Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, in particular to a cooking device. Background Art

[0002] When the microwave oven controls the opening and closing of the microwave generation module, the user cannot perceive whether the microwave is turned on or off. If the magnetron of the microwave generation module emits microwaves and the microwave heating cavity is not closed (i.e., the door of the microwave oven is open), microwave radiation will be generated to the outside. For example, if it radiates biological cells, it will cause lesions. Therefore, there are various protection circuits for microwave control. The national standard requires adding an interlocking microswitch at the front end of the power supply to the magnetron. When the microwave function is running in the microwave heating cavity, when the user operates to open the door instantaneously, the microwave power supply will be cut off. The conventional control process is that after the main control board detects that the door is opened, the main control board then outputs a control signal to disconnect the relay. However, this cannot prevent the out-of-control problem caused by errors in the internal program of the main control board, and the control of the microwave module is not stable and effective enough.

[0019] Figure 2 is the circuit topology diagram of the cooking device provided in the second specific embodiment of the present utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0020] The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present utility model, but the present utility model is not limited by these embodiments. Modifying the specific implementation manner of the present utility model or equivalently replacing some technical features without departing from the spirit of the solution of the present utility model shall be covered within the scope of the technical solution claimed by the present utility model.

[0021] Embodiment 1

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1, the present utility model provides a cooking device, including a microwave generation module 2, a door switch S1, a first signal control circuit, a second signal control circuit, a third signal control circuit, a relay 3, a first power supply VCC_IN, a second power supply VDD, and a main control board. The first end of the door switch S1 is connected to the first power supply VCC_IN, and the second end of the door switch S1 is connected to the first signal control circuit, the second signal control circuit, and the relay 3. The first signal control circuit is connected to the second power supply VDD. The first signal control circuit is used to detect the on-off signal of the door switch S1 and send this signal to the main control board. The second signal control circuit is connected to the PWM port 12 of the main control board and is used to control the on-off of the circuit between the relay 3 and the door switch S1. The third signal control circuit is connected in series in the circuit where the relay 3 and the door switch S1 are located, and the third signal control circuit is connected to the main control board. The relay 3 is installed in the circuit of the microwave generation module 2 and is used to control the on-off of the microwave generation module 2. When the door switch S1 is closed, the first signal control circuit transmits a high level to the main control board, the main control board outputs a high level to the third signal control circuit, and at the same time, the main control board outputs a high level to the second signal control circuit through the PWM port 12. The circuit where the relay 3 is located is powered on, so that the relay 3 is turned on, and further the microwave generation module 2 is powered on to generate microwaves. When the door switch S1 is opened, the first signal control circuit transmits a low level to the main control board, the main control board outputs a low level to the third signal control circuit. At this time, the third signal control circuit disconnects the circuit where the relay 3 is located. At this time, even if the PWM port 12 can output a high level to the second signal control circuit, the circuit where the relay 3 is located is still in the off state, thus ensuring that when the door switch S1 is opened, that is, when the door of the cooking device is opened, the relay 3 is in the off state, and the circuit of the microwave generation module 2 is disconnected and no longer generates microwaves. And when an error occurs in the program of the main control board, the PWM port 12 does not output a signal, that is, the second signal control circuit does not obtain a high level, and further the circuit where the relay 3 is located is also in the off state, avoiding the situation that when the main control board is out of control, the door of the cooking device is opened and the relay 3 is turned on, resulting in the microwave generation module 2 continuing to work and generate microwaves.

[0023] The cooking device provided by the present utility model, on the one hand, can ensure that when the door of the cooking device is opened or an error occurs in the program of the main control board, the microwave generation module 2 in the cooking device will not work, avoiding microwave radiation to the user, and having relatively high safety. On the other hand, by using the first power supply VCC_IN alone for the series circuit where the door switch S1 and the relay 3 are located, and using the second power supply VDD alone for the circuit where the main control board is located, to achieve voltage division control of the circuit where the relay 3 is located and the circuit where the main control board is located, which is conducive to the flexible use of different specifications of relays 3 and main control boards and reduces costs.
