Abstract
An automatic cooking control system for a microwave over which utilizes a microcomputer for controlling the whole operation of a microwave oven. An electric power source and magnetron are used for generating microwave energy. Fans are disposed at an air inlet and an air outlet of a heating chamber. The air temperature of inflow and outflow are detected and converted by analog/digital converters into the digital signals. The system performs an initial operation process, first stage heating process, and second stage heating process to complete a full automatic cooking process. The system performs calculations to determine the parameters to be used in second stage heating process according to a temperature variation in ambient air around a microwave oven. This change could be due to the change in season or even a change during the operation of the microwave oven. This results in optimum cooking without regard to the temperature variation in ambient air around a microwave oven.
