Electronic controlled heat cooking apparatus
First Claim
1. An electronically controlled heat cooking apparatus, comprising:
- heating energy generating means for providing heating energy to a material being cooked,entry means for setting heating conditions corresponding to a desired plurality of heating modes successively set in an arbitrary sequence for cooking said material being cooked by means of said heating energy generating means;
said entry means comprising a plurality of groups of heating condition setting means for independently establishing signals corresponding to said heating conditions of a desired heating mode;
each said group of heating condition setting means comprising heat designating means for setting the heat to be applied during a single heating mode, and timer time period entry means for setting a timer time period corresponding to the desired duration of said single heating mode;
storing means for storing signals corresponding to said heating conditions set by said plurality of groups of heating condition setting means and to the sequence in which said groups were successively set,said storing means comprising heat storing means for storing the heat settings entered by said heat designating means, timer time period storing means for storing said timer time periods entered by said timer time period entry means, and sequence storing means, responsive to the sequence in which an operator sets said groups, for identifying the sequence in which said groups have been set regardless of which group said operator chooses to set first;
heat start commanding means,control means responsive to the output of said heating start commanding means and to said signals stored in said storing means for controlling said heating energy generating means to perform said desired sequential heating modes in accordance with the order stored in said order storing means and the heating conditions stored in said heat storing means and said timer time period storing means, andsaid cooking apparatus further comprising an operation portion having a plurality of discrete sections, each of said sections having a respective group of heating condition setting means disposed therein.

Abstract
An electronic controlled heat cooking apparatus having a plurality of heating mode designating keys and a timer allotted to each of a plurality of blocks for setting heating conditions of an oven. A random access memory included in a microprocessor stores which block'"'"'s heating mode designating key was first operated from the plurality of blocks and also stores the set heating mode and the time period set by the timer of that block. The microprocessor is responsive to an operation of a start key to select the heating modes of the oven in accordance with the order as stored in the random access memory and enable the oven'"'"'s appropriate heat source in the selected heating mode for the set time period of the corresponding timer. Each timer has a displaceable operation knob, and a digital display is provided to display the timer time period information set by the knob.
