Abstract:
1. A heating apparatus comprising: a plurality of heating means that heat a heated object; a temperature measuring means that measures temperatures of some of the plurality of heating means; a heated object information storing means that stores, in a coordinate manner, heated object identification names, target heating temperatures at the heating means whose temperatures are measured by the temperature measuring means, and sets of heating ratios respectively assigned to the heating means; a heating information storage means that defines a relationship between temperatures during heating of the heating means, whose temperatures are measured by the temperature measuring means, up to the target heating temperatures, and heating intensities at the temperatures; a heated object identification name obtaining means that obtains one of the heated object identification names corresponding to the heated object to be heated by the plurality of heating means; a heated object information reading-out means that reads out one of the target heating temperatures and one of the sets of heating ratios respectively assigned to the plurality of heating means, corresponding to the heated object identification name obtained by the heated object identification name obtaining means, from the heated object information storage means; a heating information reading-out means that reads out one of the heating intensities corresponding to the temperature measured by the temperature measuring means from the heating information storage means; and a heat control means that controls each of the plurality of heating means based on the heating intensity read out by the heating information reading-out means and the set of heating ratios respectively assigned to the plurality of heating means read out by the heating information reading-out means, so that the temperature measured by the temperature measuring means reaches the target heating temperature read out by the heated object information reading-out means.
