Bread maker and method of controlling the same

摘要

A bread maker (1) having a main body (3) having an oven compartment (30), a pair of parallel kneading drums (12a, 12b) spaced apart from each other inside the oven compartment (30) and winding a mixing bag filled with ingredients to make bread thereon, and a drum driver (36) driving the kneading drums (12a, 12b) to rotate, includes a rotation sensing part (40) to sense rotated position of at least one of the kneading drums (12a, 12b); and a controller to control the drum driver (36) to decrease rotation torque of the kneading drum (12a, 12b) at a predetermined position before approaching a turning position of the kneading drum (12a, 12b) on the basis of the rotated position sensed by the rotation sensing part (40) so as to approach the kneading drum (12a, 12b) slowly to the turning position. With this configuration, preferred embodiments of the present invention provide a bread maker (1) and a method of controlling the same, which prevents a mixing bag from separating from a kneading drum (12a, 12b) due to excessive rotation of the kneading drums (12a, 12b).
