  In the automatic bread maker described in Patent Document 1 or Patent Document 2, since the secondary material charging unit is built in the lid, if the specifications of the secondary material charging unit are changed, it is necessary to change the design of the lid significantly. . Also, after setting the ingredients, it is difficult to raise the lid and look into the bread container. In that respect, since the automatic bread maker described in Patent Document 3 uses an ingredient container that is independent from the main body and the upper lid, it is easy to change the specifications of the ingredient container, and different types of ingredient containers can be used properly. Easy to do. In addition, after setting the ingredients, the top lid can be opened and the bread container can be viewed. However, the material container has an open structure in which the side frame and the opening / closing plate are the main components, and if the material container is fine and light, there is a risk that it will blow off when the upper lid is opened. In addition, there is a possibility that the ingredients absorb the moisture in the air and deteriorate.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide sufficient protection of ingredients while introducing the ingredients using an ingredient container whose specifications can be easily changed. .

  The present invention relates to an automatic bread maker that receives a bread container containing a bread-making raw material in a baking chamber in a main body, and sequentially performs the kneading process, the fermentation process, and the baking process of the bread-making raw material.

  Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 is a vertical sectional view of the automatic bread maker, FIG. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the automatic bread maker viewed from a direction perpendicular to FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the ingredient container, and the bottom plate is locked in a closed state. 4 shows a state where the bottom plate is unlocked in the bottom view of the ingredient container, FIG. 5 shows a situation where the ingredient container is attached in a vertical sectional view of the automatic bread maker, FIG. 6 is a vertical sectional view of the automatic bread maker, showing a state in which ingredients are put into a bread container, and FIG. 7 is a vertical sectional view of the automatic bread maker as seen from a direction perpendicular to FIG. It is. In FIG. 1, the left side is the front (front) side of the automatic bread maker, and the right side is the back (rear) side of the automatic bread maker.

  The automatic bread maker 1 includes a main body 10 and a lid 20 of the main body. A firing chamber 11 having an upper surface opened is provided inside the main body 10, and the lid 20 closes the upper surface opening. A bread container 30 is placed in the baking chamber 11.

  The baking chamber 11 includes a peripheral side wall 11a and a bottom wall 11b having a rectangular horizontal cross section, and a bread container support 12 is fixed to a location corresponding to the center of the baking chamber of the bottom wall 11b. The inside of the bread container support 12 is exposed to the baking chamber 11 through an opening formed in the bottom wall 11b. The bread container support unit 12 has a role of supporting the bread container 30 by connecting a cylindrical base 31 fixed to the bottom surface of the bread container 30 by bayonet coupling, and a rotating shaft that transmits power to the rotary blades 32 in the bread container 30. Takes both the role of supporting 13. A pulley 14 is fixed to the lower end of the rotating shaft 13 protruding from the lower surface of the bread container support 12. The pulley 14 is connected by a belt 17 to an output shaft pulley 16 of a motor 15 fixed to the lower surface of the bottom wall 11b.

  A control unit 18 is disposed in a space between the front surface of the peripheral side wall 11 a of the baking chamber 11 and the front outer shell of the main body 10. The control unit 18 controls the automatic bread maker 1 in response to a signal from a temperature sensor 19 disposed inside the baking chamber 11 and a command input from an operation panel described later.

  The lid 20 is connected to the main body 10 by a hinge shaft 21 on the back side of the automatic bread maker 1, and rotates in a vertical plane around the hinge shaft 21. The lid 20 is provided with a viewing window 20a fitted with a transparent synthetic resin lens at a position slightly behind the front end. A hermetically sealed material container independent of the main body 10 and the lid 20 is disposed under the lid 20, which will be described in detail later.

  An operation panel 22 is disposed at a corner above the front of the main body 10. Although not shown, the operation panel 22 has operation keys such as a selection key for bread types (wheat flour bread, rice flour bread, bread with ingredients, etc.), a cooking content selection key, a timer key, a start key, a cancel key, and the like. A display unit is provided for displaying the group and the set cooking contents and timer reservation time.

  The bread container 30 is shaped like a bucket, and a handle (not shown) for carrying is attached to the mouth edge. The horizontal cross-sectional shape of the bread container 30 is a rectangle with rounded four corners, and the rotating blade 32 rotates at the center. The rotary blade 32 is attached to the non-circular cross section at the upper end of the rotary shaft 33 pivotally supported at the center of the pedestal 31 by simple fitting, and can be attached and detached without using a tool. For this reason, it can be easily replaced with a different type of rotating blade 32.

  The rotating shaft 33 is connected to the rotating shaft 13 and transmits power from the rotating shaft 13. As the power transmitting means, a coupling 34 enclosed by the base 31 is used. That is, of the two members constituting the coupling 34, one is fixed to the lower end of the rotating shaft 33 and the other is fixed to the upper end of the rotating shaft 13.

  On the outer peripheral surface of the pedestal 31, a projection 35 b that forms a well-known bayonet coupling portion is formed together with the projection 35 a formed on the inner peripheral surface of the bread container support portion 12. While maintaining the bread container 30 at an angle at which the protrusions 35a and 35b do not interfere with each other, the pedestal 31 is dropped into the bread container support 12 and the bread container 30 is twisted to engage the protrusion 35b under the protrusion 35a. The bread container 30 can no longer be pulled upward, and at the same time, the coupling 34 is also connected. Since the twist direction of the bread container 30 is made to coincide with the rotation direction of the rotary blade 32, the bread container 30 does not come off even if the rotary blade 32 rotates. Here, the twisting direction of the bread container 30 and the rotating direction of the rotary blade 32 are both set clockwise when viewed from above.

  A heating device 40 disposed inside the baking chamber 11 surrounds the bread container 30 and heats the bread-making material. The heating device 40 includes a sheathed heater 41. A current is supplied to the sheathed heater 41 through the heat-resistant cable 42.

  The outline of the bread making operation in the automatic bread maker 1 is as follows. A bread container 30 containing a baking material such as flour, water, butter, etc. is placed in the baking chamber 11 and attached to the bread container support 12, and the rotary shaft 33 is connected to the rotary shaft 13, and then the lid 20 is closed. When the type of bread and cooking details are input from the operation panel 22 and the start key is pressed, the bread making operation is started.

  The first bread making operation is a kneading process. The control unit 18 drives the motor 15 to rotate the rotary blade 32 and energizes the heating device 40 to raise the temperature of the baking chamber 11. As the rotary blade 32 rotates, the bread-making ingredients are kneaded and turned into a dough having a high viscosity. The rotary blade 32 swings the dough and knocks it against the inner wall of the bread container 30, thereby adding a “kneading” element to the kneading. In the case of bread containing ingredients, the control unit 18 opens the bottom plate of the ingredient container at a predetermined timing, and the ingredients are put into the bread dough, which will be described later.

  After finishing the kneading process, the process proceeds to the fermentation process. The control unit 18 controls the energization of the heating device 40 to maintain the baking chamber 11 at a predetermined temperature and ferment the bread-making material.

  After the fermentation process, the control unit 18 energizes the heating device 40 with a predetermined energization pattern to bake bread dough into bread. After a sign indicating completion of breadmaking is displayed on the display unit of the operation panel 22 or when a notification sound indicating completion of breadmaking is given, the user opens the lid 20 and takes out the bread container 30.

  Next, the structure of the material container 50 and the mechanism of material input will be described. The material container 50 is a substantially rectangular parallelepiped sealed container independent of the main body 10 and the lid 20 and has a wider width when viewed from the front than the depth in the front-rear direction. The width is slightly narrower than the width of the bread container 30.

  The ingredient container 50 is attached to one side of the mouth of the baking chamber 11 by a detachable connecting part 51. The connecting portion 51 is configured to be fixed to the rear surface of the material container 50 and formed upward on the insertion piece 52 protruding below the bottom surface of the material container 50 and the rear edge of the baking chamber 11. Socket 53. When the insertion piece 52 is inserted into the socket 53, the ingredient container 50 is supported in an overhanging manner on the bread container 30.

  An opening 54 (see FIG. 6) is formed on the bottom surface of the material container 50. The opening 54 is combined with a bottom plate 55 that closes the material container 50 to close it. The bottom plate 55 is connected to the material container 50 by a hinge 56 provided on the side close to the connecting portion 51. Since the opening 54 is the only material outlet / inlet and there is no other access opening to the inside of the material container 50, it is easy to keep the material container 50 sealed. In addition, since the opening 54 is provided to be biased toward the rear, an inclined bottom wall 50a is formed in the front of the interior of the ingredient container 50 so that the ingredient closer to the front of the ingredient container 50 falls without delay. ing.

  The material container 50 is provided with a lock device 60 that maintains the bottom plate 55 in a closed state. The main part of the lock device 60 is a lock plate 61 arranged so as to cross the bottom surface of the material container 50 to the left and right. The lock plate 61 is disposed in front of the bottom plate 55, and engages with a protrusion 55a formed at the center of the free end of the bottom plate 55 (the shape is best shown in FIG. 4) at the center of the lock plate 61. A hook 62 (noting the best shape in FIG. 2) is formed so as not to open.

  The left and right ends of the lock plate 61 enter sockets 63 and 64 fixed to the left and right outer surfaces of the material container 50, whereby the lock plate 61 is supported to be slidable to the left and right. A compression coil spring 65 is inserted into the socket 63. The compression coil spring 65 is attached to the right when the lock plate 61 is viewed from the front, that is, in a direction in which the hook 62 engages with the protrusion 55a of the bottom plate 55. To force. The position shown in FIG. 2 is the stroke limit of the lock plate 61, and the lock plate 61 does not slide further to the right. At this time, the right end of the lock plate 61 is flush with the end of the socket 64, or is slightly in the position where it is retracted into the socket 64.

  The main body 10 is provided with a lock release device 70 that acts on the lock device 60 to open the bottom plate 55. What constitutes the unlocking device 70 is a solenoid 72 installed in a housing 71 provided at the mouth of the baking chamber 11. The plunger 73 of the solenoid 72 faces the right end of the lock plate 61.

  When baking bread with ingredients, an empty ingredient container 50 is placed on a table or the like with the bottom plate 55 facing up. Then, the lock plate 61 is slid against the compression coil spring 65, and the hook 62 is removed from the protrusion 55 a of the bottom plate 55. That is, the lock of the bottom plate 55 is released. In this way, the bottom plate 55 is opened, and the ingredient B is put into the ingredient container 50 through the opening 54. When the ingredient B has been added, the bottom plate 55 is closed. The tip of the hook 62 has a slope, and when the bottom plate 55 is closed, the protrusion 55a hits the slope and slides the lock plate 61. Finally, the protrusion 55a is held in the hook 62, and the locking device 60 locks the bottom plate 55 in the closed state. Thereafter, the top and bottom of the ingredient container 50 are reversed.

  When the preparation of the material container 50 is completed as described above, the lid 20 is fully opened as shown in FIG. And the bread container 30 which put the bread-making raw material is put in the baking chamber 11, and is attached to the bread container support part 12. FIG. After the bread container 30 is attached, the ingredient container 50 is attached. When the insertion piece 52 is firmly inserted into the socket 53, the ingredient container 50 is fixed in an overhanging manner on the bread container 30, and at the same time, the lock piece 61 comes to a position where the right end thereof faces the plunger 73 of the solenoid 72. When the lid 20 is closed in this manner, the state shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is obtained. In other words, the automatic bread maker 1 is ready to bake the bread with ingredients.

  During the kneading process, the control unit 18 energizes the solenoid 72 of the lock release device 70 at a predetermined timing. Then, as shown in FIG. 7, the plunger 73 protrudes, and the lock plate 61 is slid leftward against the compression coil spring 65. As a result, the hook 62 is released from the projection 55a of the bottom plate 55, and the bottom plate 55 in the unlocked state rotates about the hinge 56 as a fulcrum and stops against the edge of the bread container 30 as shown in FIG. Since the opening 54 is opened, the ingredient B in the ingredient container 50 falls and is put into the bread dough A. At this time, the ingredient B slides on the bottom plate 55 that stops at the edge of the bread container 30. Since it goes, the ingredient B is smoothly put in without spilling out of the bread container 30. The ingredient B introduced into the bread dough A is kneaded into the bread dough A as the kneading progresses, and is dispersed in the bread dough A.

  Then, if bread is completed through a baking process from a fermentation process, the lid | cover 20 will be opened, the ingredient container 50 will be removed, and the bread container 30 will be pulled up.

  As described above, the opening 54 is the only material inlet / outlet of the material container 50, and there is no other access opening to the inside of the material container 50, so that the degree of sealing of the material container 50 can be easily increased. Can do. For this reason, it is also possible to use dry yeast in place of the ingredients and add dry yeast to the bread-making material at a predetermined timing.

  In the first embodiment, the lock release device 70 is arranged in the main body 10, but a configuration in which the lock release device 70 is arranged toward the lid 20 is also possible.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

A hinge (not shown) is incorporated in the hinge 57, and the ingredient container 50 is urged to rotate clockwise in FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, the posture in which the ingredient container 50 stands up with its front-rear direction axis perpendicular is defined as the limit of rotation. In this posture, the ingredient container 50 is withdrawn from the top of the bread container 30 and does not prevent the bread container 30 from being taken in and out. For this reason, the work procedure of attaching the ingredient container 50 to the main body 10 first and then putting the bread container 30 into the baking chamber 11 later becomes possible.

  When the lid 20 is closed, the ingredient container 50 is pushed by the lid 20 from behind to change its posture and overhangs on the bread container 30 as shown in FIG. The right end of the lock piece 61 comes to a position facing the plunger 73 of the solenoid 72. Since it is necessary to hold down the material container 50, the lid 20 is provided with a lock device (not shown) capable of maintaining the closed state.

  Thereafter, the kneading step, the fermentation step, and the firing step are performed as in the first embodiment. Ingredient B in ingredient container 50 is charged into the bread dough at a predetermined timing during the kneading process.
