Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a cooking device that cooks food by rotating a cooking utensil and a control method thereof. [Background technology]

[0002] In cooking appliances such as blenders, juicers, and food processors, cooking is performed by cutting, crushing, mincing, grating, crushing, chopping, or stirring ingredients using a cooking tool such as a chopper cutter that rotates inside a cooking cup. The cooking tool is connected to a motor built into the main body to which the cooking cup is attached, and is rotated by the drive of the motor (for example, see Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2021-171200 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, for example, when cooking fibrous ingredients, the ingredients may stick to the cooking utensil and rotate together with the motor, which can result in longer cooking time or the ingredients may not be cut up and remain in large chunks.

[0005] Also, even if the power to the motor is turned off after cooking is finished, the ingredients will continue to rotate due to inertia, so the cooking utensils may not stop immediately.

[0006] An object of the present invention is to provide a cooking appliance and a control method thereof that can prevent the cooking utensil and ingredients from rotating together when starting up and can instantly stop the cooking utensil when finishing. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The cooking device according to the present invention comprises: A main body including a motor; A cooking cup that is detachably attached to the main body; a cooking utensil disposed within the cooking cup and rotated by the motor; A cooking device comprising: a drive circuit including a power switch for supplying electricity to the motor and a rotation changeover switch for changing the direction of rotation of the motor, the drive circuit driving the motor in reverse rotation when only the power switch is turned on, and driving the motor in forward rotation when the rotation changeover switch is turned on with the power switch turned on; A switch operation unit is provided for turning on and off the power switch and the rotation changeover switch, The switch operation unit first turns on the power switch, and then turns on the rotation changeover switch.

[0008] When the power switch and the rotation changeover switch are in an ON state, the switch operation unit first turns off the rotation changeover switch, and then turns off the power switch.

[0009] The switch operation unit is operated by pressing the lid body attached to the cooking cup, and when the lid body is pressed in a small amount, it turns on the power switch, and when the lid body is pressed in a large amount, it turns on the rotation changeover switch.

[0010] The switch operation unit includes a first lever for turning on the power switch and a second lever for turning on the rotation changeover switch, When the amount of depression of the lid body is small, the first lever turns on the power switch, and when the amount of depression of the lid body is large, the second lever turns on the rotation changeover switch.

[0011] The method for controlling a cooking appliance of the present invention further comprises: A main body including a motor; A cooking cup that is detachably attached to the main body; a cooking utensil disposed within the cooking cup and rotated by the motor; A method for controlling a cooking appliance comprising: The motor is driven in reverse rotation before being driven in forward rotation.

[0012] In the above control method, the motor is driven in reverse rotation before being stopped from a state in which the motor is driven in forward rotation. Effect of the Invention

[0013] According to the cooking appliance of the present invention, when the switch operation unit is operated at start-up, the power switch is turned on first to drive the motor in reverse rotation, and then the rotation changeover switch is turned on with a time lag to drive the motor in forward rotation. Before the motor is driven in forward rotation, the motor is driven in reverse rotation once. This prevents the food from sticking to the cooking utensil and suppresses the food from rotating together with the cooking utensil. This allows the food to be cut and cooked appropriately, prevents the food from remaining in large chunks, and shortens the cooking time.

[0014] Furthermore, when the motor is stopped from a forward rotation state, the rotation changeover switch is turned off first to drive the motor in reverse, and then the power switch is turned off to stop the motor. That is, after forward rotation, the motor is once driven in reverse. The cooking utensil rotates in reverse relative to the ingredients that are rotating due to inertia, so that the cooking utensil can be stopped instantly, and control like a brake can be performed. This allows for a responsive operation that quickly responds to the operation of the switch operation unit, and the user can operate the cooking appliance with a natural feeling like using a knife.

[0015] It is also possible to operate the switch operation unit to turn the rotation changeover switch OFF while the motor is rotating in the forward direction, to rotate the motor in the reverse direction, and then turn the rotation changeover switch ON again to rotate the motor in the forward direction. This allows the cooking utensil to rotate in the forward and reverse directions, suppressing the rotation of the ingredients together, improving mixing, and shortening the cooking time.

[0017] The cooking device of the present invention will be described below by taking a mixer 10 shown in Figures 1 to 3 as an example. Note that the cooking device is not limited to the mixer 10 and may be a food processor, juicer, soup maker, mill, blender, or the like, as long as it is a kitchen appliance that cooks ingredients by rotating cooking utensils in a cooking cup.

[0018] 1 to 3, the mixer 10 includes a main body 20 and a cooking cup 30 that is detachable from the main body 20. For example, the cooking cup 30 is detachable from the main body 20 in a vertical direction.

[0019] 2, the main body 20 has a motor 22 disposed vertically inside a cylindrical casing 21 with a bottom, and a rotating shaft 23 of the motor 22 protruding from the main body 20, with a main body side coupling 24 attached to the protruding tip. An induction motor, for example, can be used as the motor 22. In this embodiment, the motor 22 is directly connected to the rotating shaft 23, but the motor 22 and the rotating shaft 23 may be connected via a reduction mechanism or the like.

[0020] A switching unit 40 is formed on the front side of the main body 20, below the handle 33 when the cooking cup 30 is placed thereon, for operating the motor 22 on and off and for operating the forward and reverse rotation drive. As shown in FIG. 4 etc., the switching unit 40 includes a power switch 41 that supplies electricity to the motor 22 and a rotation changeover switch 42 that switches the rotation direction of the motor 22, and is operated by pushing the lid 37 of the cooking cup 30 downward. These switches 41, 42 are connected to the motor 22 as shown in FIG. 4 etc., to form a drive circuit 50 (FIG. 4 etc.). Details of the configuration and operation of the switches 41, 42 and the drive circuit 50 will be described later, but the motor 22 is driven in forward and reverse rotation by operating the switches 41, 42.

[0021] A cooking cup 30 is placed on the upper surface of the main body 20 configured as described above. The illustrated cooking cup 30 includes a wide-mouthed shallow cup portion 31 and a lid body 37 that covers an opening 32 (see FIG. 3) formed in the upper portion of the cup portion 31.

[0022] Ingredients are put into the cup portion 31 through the opening 32, and cooking is carried out inside. As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, a cooking utensil 35, corresponding to the cooking, such as a chopper cutter in the figure, is removably provided on the inner bottom of the cup portion 31. As shown in Fig. 2, the cooking utensil 35 has a cooking utensil side coupling 36 that can be engaged with the main body side coupling 24, and when the cup portion 31 is attached to the main body 20, it engages with the main body side coupling 24 that penetrates the cup portion 31 and protrudes, and is capable of rotating integrally. As shown in Fig. 3, the cooking utensil 35, such as a chopper cutter, has a blade formed on the forward rotation side (arrow R2), and the cooking utensil 35 also rotates forward (arrow R2) when the motor 22 is driven in the forward rotation to cut ingredients and perform cooking.

[0023] Further, the cup portion 31 is formed with a handle 33 on the front side, and an operating rod 34 for pushing in a switch operating unit 43 of the switching unit 40 is provided on the peripheral surface of the handle 33 side so as to be slidable up and down. The upper end of the operating rod 34 protrudes toward the lid body 37, and the lower end is capable of abutting against the switching unit 40. The lid body 37 is attached to the cup portion 31 so as to cover the operating rod 34, and with the cooking cup 30 attached to the main body 20, by pushing the handle 33 side of the lid body 37 downward, the operating rod 34 moves downward and pushes in the switch operating unit 43 downward.

[0024] A drive circuit 50 for the mixer 10 configured as described above is shown in Fig. 4 etc. Drive circuit 50 has a capacitor 51 inserted between the main coil 22a and secondary coil 22b constituting motor 22 (induction motor) to generate a phase difference of 90°, and a power switch 41 and a rotation changeover switch 42 are connected between a commercial power source 52 and motor 22. Rotation changeover switch 42 can be switched to connect either the main coil 22a or the secondary coil 22b. Note that it is preferable that the secondary coil 22b has a smaller number of turns than the main coil 22a, which makes it possible to suppress the rotation speed during reverse rotation drive.

[0025] In the above drive circuit 50, when the power switch 41 is closed and the rotation changeover switch 42 is connected to the secondary coil 22b side as shown in Fig. 5, the motor 22 rotates in the reverse direction. When the rotation changeover switch 42 is connected to the primary coil 22a side as shown in Fig. 6, the motor 22 rotates in the forward direction.

[0026] In mixer 10 of the present invention, motor 22 is driven in the forward direction, and when starting cooking such as cutting with cooking utensil 35, motor 22 is once driven in the reverse direction to rotate cooking utensil 35 in the reverse direction (arrow R1 in FIG. 3). Furthermore, when cooking is completed, motor 22 is once driven in the reverse direction before being stopped from being driven in the forward direction.

[0027] The reverse rotation drive time at the start and end of motor 22 can be, for example, about 0.1 to 1 second, but the time can be made longer or shorter by user operation. Rotating cooking utensil 35 in the reverse direction when motor 22 starts prevents ingredients from sticking to cooking utensil 35 and suppresses the ingredients from rotating together with cooking utensil 35. Rotating cooking utensil 35 in the reverse direction at the end of cooking causes cooking utensil 35 to rotate in the reverse direction relative to the ingredients rotating due to inertia, and allows cooking utensil 35 to stop instantly as if the brakes were applied.

[0028] The forward and reverse rotation of the motor 22 can be realized by turning on and off the power switch 41 and the rotation changeover switch 42. FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the power switch 41 and the rotation changeover switch 42. The switches 41 and 42 can be, for example, push-type micro switches. The illustrated switches 41 and 42 have pushers 41b and 42b that can be retracted from the main body parts 41a and 42a, and a pair of terminals 41c and 42c that serve as contacts protrude from the main body parts 41a and 42a. By pressing the pushers 41b and 42b, the terminals 41c are electrically connected to each other, or the terminals 42c are electrically connected to each other. The power switch 41 and the rotation changeover switch 42 can be arranged in two, as shown in FIG. 8. In FIG. 8(a), the power switch 41 is on the left and the rotation changeover switch 42 is on the right, and the pushers 41b and 42b are arranged at the same height. These pushers 41b, 42b are rounded at least at the upper corners that come into contact with levers 44, 45 so that they can be smoothly pushed in by levers 44, 45 of a switch operation unit 43, which will be described next.

[0029] When the power switch 41 is in the off state with the depressor 41b not pressed, it cuts off the power to the drive circuit 50 as shown in Fig. 4. On the other hand, when the power switch 41 is turned on with the depressor 41b pressed, it puts the drive circuit 50 in the energized state as shown in Figs.

[0030] When the rotation changeover switch 42 is in the off state with the presser 42b not pressed, the rotation changeover switch 42 is connected to the secondary coil 22b as a default, as shown in Figures 4 and 5. When the power switch 41 is turned on with the rotation changeover switch 42 in the off state, the motor 22 rotates in the reverse direction, as shown in Figure 5. On the other hand, when the power switch 41 is turned on and the presser 42b of the rotation changeover switch 42 is pressed to turn the rotation changeover switch 42 on, the motor 22 rotates in the forward direction, as shown in Figure 6.

[0031] As shown in Fig. 8(a), the power switch 41 and the rotation changeover switch 42 are arranged so that the pressers 41b, 42b can rise and fall in a horizontal plane. In this embodiment, the power switch 41 and the rotation changeover switch 42 are turned on and off with a time lag by the up and down movement of the switch operation unit 43 shown in Figs. 9 and 10.

[0032] As shown in Fig. 2, the switch operation unit 43 is disposed directly below the operating rod 34 when the cooking cup 30 is placed on the main body 20. The switch operation unit 43 is disposed slidably within the main body 20, and is biased upward by a biasing means 43b such as a coil spring. For example, the switch operation unit 43 may have guide holes 43a for sliding formed on the left and right sides as shown in Figs. 9 and 10, and by fitting the guide holes 43a with the biasing means 43b fitted onto the guide shaft 25 protruding from the frame of the main body 20 as shown in Figs. 11 to 13, the switch operation unit 43 may be disposed slidably up and down without tilting relative to the main body 20.

[0033] The switch operation unit 43 has a pressing surface 43c formed on the upper side against which the operation rod 34 comes into contact, and a first lever 44 for pressing the pressing element 41b of the power switch 41 and a second lever 45 for pressing the pressing element 42b of the rotation changeover switch 42 protruding downward on the lower side. The tips of the first lever 44 and the second lever 45 are rounded so that the pressing elements 41b, 42b can be pressed smoothly. The first lever 44 is formed to be longer downward than the second lever 45.

[0034] The above-mentioned switches 41 and 42 are arranged so that the pushers 41b and 42b protrude into the transition paths of the levers 44 and 45, and when the switch operation unit 43 moves downward, the pusher 41b of the power switch 41 is pushed in by the first lever 44, and the pusher 42b of the rotation changeover switch 42 is pushed in by the second lever 45. Since the lengths of the first lever 44 and the second lever 45 are different, when the switch operation unit 43 moves downward, as shown in Figs. 11 to 13 described later, the pusher 41b of the power switch 41 is turned on first, and then the rotation changeover switch 42 is turned on with a time difference. Conversely, when the switch operation unit 43 moves upward from the state in Fig. 13, the rotation changeover switch 42 is turned off first, and then the power switch 41 is turned off with a time difference.

[0035] The mixer 10 equipped with the switching unit 40 having the above configuration can be operated in the following manner.

[0036] Ingredients are placed in the cooking cup 30, and the cooking cup 30 is placed on the main body 20 with the lid 37 attached. The cooking cup 30 is placed so that the handle 33 is on the same front side as the switching unit 40 of the main body 20. As a result, the operating rod 34 of the cooking cup 30 abuts against the pressing surface 43c of the switch operating unit 43 of the switching unit 40. Since the switch operating unit 43 is biased upward by the biasing means 43b, the lid 37 is pressed by the operating rod 34, and the front side where the handle 33 is located is slightly raised.

[0037] Cooking is started by connecting main body 20 to commercial power supply 52. ​​Cooking is started by pushing the front side (handle 33 side) of lid body 37 downward.

[0038] 4 and 11 show the circuit diagram and the state of the switching unit 40 before the cover 37 is pushed in. As shown in FIG. 11, the first lever 44 and the second lever 45 of the switch operation unit 43 are positioned above the pressers 41b, 42b of both the power switch 41 and the rotation changeover switch 42. In other words, neither of the pressers 41b, 42b is being pressed, and the switches 41, 42 are in the OFF state. As shown in FIG. 4, the power switch 41 is in the OFF state, so the motor 22 is not energized and is stopped in the drive circuit 50.

[0039] When the lid 37 is pushed downward from this state, the operating rod 34 pushes the pressing surface 43c of the switch operating part 43, moving the switch operating part 43 downward (P1) as shown in Fig. 12. Then, the long first lever 44 pushes the pressing element 41b of the power switch 41, and only the power switch 41 is turned on. That is, in Fig. 12, the power switch 41 is in the on state and the rotation changeover switch 42 is in the off state. As a result, as shown in Fig. 5, electricity is applied with the rotation changeover switch 42 connected to the secondary coil 22b side, so that the motor 22 is driven to rotate in the reverse direction and the cooking utensil 35 rotates in the reverse direction as shown by the arrow R1 in Fig. 3.

[0040] Then, by pressing the cover 37 further downward from this state, the switch operation unit 43 moves downward (P2) as shown in Fig. 13. Then, while the first lever 44 keeps pressing the presser 41b of the power switch 41, the second lever 45 presses the presser 42b of the rotation changeover switch 42 to turn it on. That is, in Fig. 13, both the power switch 41 and the rotation changeover switch 42 are in the ON state. As a result, while the power switch 41 remains in the ON state as shown in Fig. 6, the rotation changeover switch 42 is switched to the ON state and connected to the main coil 22a side, so that the motor 22 rotates in the forward direction, and as shown by the arrow R2 in Fig. 3, the cooking utensil 35 rotates in the forward direction.

[0041] The above-mentioned operation of motor 22 and cooking utensil 35 from reverse rotation to forward rotation is performed by changing the amount of depression of lid body 37. In other words, when lid body 37 is pressed a small amount, motor 22 and cooking utensil 35 are driven to rotate in reverse, and when it is pressed a large amount, motor 22 and cooking utensil 35 are driven to rotate in forward. The user can also adjust the time of reverse rotation by changing the speed at which lid body 37 is pressed. If lid body 37 is pressed quickly, the reverse rotation time of cooking utensil 35 can be shortened, and if lid body 37 is pressed slowly, the reverse rotation time of cooking utensil 35 can be lengthened.

[0042] Since the blade of cooking utensil 35 is oriented in the forward rotation direction, cooking utensil 35 needs to be rotated forward in order to cook, but by rotating cooking utensil 35 in the reverse direction once before rotating forward, ingredients stuck to cooking utensil 35 can be pulled off and the ingredients can be prevented from rotating together. Then, by rotating cooking utensil 35 in the forward direction from this state, the ingredients can be prevented from sticking to cooking utensil 35 and the ingredients can be prevented from rotating together with cooking utensil 35. This allows the ingredients to be cut and cooked appropriately, prevents ingredients from remaining in large chunks, and shortens the cooking time.

[0043] The reverse and forward rotation drive of cooking utensil 35 can be controlled simply by pressing in lid 37, so the user can perform optimal cooking by suppressing the rotation of ingredients without being particularly conscious of it.

[0044] When cooking is completed, the lid 37 can be released from the position shown in Fig. 13 by the biasing force of the biasing means 43b (Q1 in Fig. 12). The operating rod 34 is also pushed by the switch operating part 43 to move upward, returning the lid 37 to its original floating position. As a result, the pusher 42b of the rotation changeover switch 42, which had been pushed into the second lever 45, returns to its original position, and the rotation changeover switch 42 is turned off. The motor 22, which was rotating in the forward direction as shown in Fig. 5, is now rotating in the reverse direction, and the cooking utensil 35 also rotates in the reverse direction as shown by the arrow R1 in Fig. 3.

[0045] The user can adjust the time for which the reverse rotation is driven by changing the speed at which the user releases the pressure applied to lid body 37. If the pressure is released from lid body 37 quickly, the time for which cooking utensil 35 rotates in the reverse direction will be short, and if the pressure is released from lid body 37 slowly, the time for which cooking utensil 35 rotates in the reverse direction will be long.

[0046] Then, as switch operating unit 43 moves further upward (Q2) from the state shown in Fig. 12, the state transitions to that shown in Fig. 11. As a result, pusher 42b of rotation changeover switch 42, which had been pushed in, of first lever 44 returns to its original position and turns off, power switch 41 turns off as shown in Fig. 4, and motor 22 stops. Cooking utensil 35 also stops.

[0047] As described above, when motor 22 is stopped from a forward rotation state, motor 22 is once driven in the reverse direction, so that cooking utensil 35 rotates in the reverse direction relative to the ingredients rotating due to inertia, and cooking utensil 35 can be stopped instantly as if the brakes were applied. This allows for a highly responsive operation that quickly responds to the operation when lid 37 is released, and allows the user to operate mixer 10 with a natural feeling, like using a knife.

[0048] It is also possible to cook by arbitrarily controlling the forward and reverse rotation drive of motor 22 simply by changing the amount of depression of lid body 37 and the time it is held in the depressed position. This allows the user to freely control the forward and reverse rotation of cooking utensil 35. For example, this can be easily achieved by the user once pushing lid body 37 to the maximum, then reducing the amount of depression to hold cooking utensil 35 in a position where it will rotate in the reverse direction, and then repeating the operation of pushing lid body 37 again.

[0049] The above description is for the purpose of explaining the present invention, and should not be interpreted as limiting the invention described in the claims or restricting the scope of the invention. Furthermore, the configuration of each part of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the technical scope described in the claims.

[0050] For example, in the above embodiment, push-type switches 41, 42 are used to drive motor 22 and cooking utensil 35 in forward and reverse rotation by changing the amount that lid 37 is pressed down, but the forward and reverse rotation of motor 22 may also be controlled by a rotary switch. In this case, switch operation unit 43 can be configured by arranging contacts so that reverse rotation occurs when the amount of rotation of the rotary switch is small and forward rotation occurs when the amount of rotation is large.

[0051] The forward and reverse rotation of the motor 22 can also be controlled by a program. In this case, when the user performs an operation to start cooking, the motor 22 is once driven to rotate in the reverse direction and then switched to forward rotation, and when the user performs an operation to stop cooking, the motor 22 is once driven to rotate in the reverse direction.
