Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to a rice cooker in which a rice cooker can be taken in and out through an opening on the front.

The applicant previously filed Utility Application No. 59-44216,
A heating chamber having a front opening and a heat source at the bottom is provided in the cooking device main body, an exhaust port is provided at a position away from the center of the heating chamber, and the heating chamber is accommodated in and out of the heating chamber through the opening. In the pot body of the rice cooker pot with lid,
It was previously proposed that a steam venting port is provided at a position corresponding to the exhaust port when this is housed in a heating chamber.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) In this case, if the rice cooker is placed inside the cooker with the front and back of the rice cooker reversed, the exhaust port will not correspond to the steam vent, and according to this, steam will This causes the inconvenience of filling the heating chamber.

The purpose of the present invention is to obtain a rice cooker that does not have such inconveniences.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides a heating chamber with a front opening in the cooking device main body, an exhaust port at the rear of the heating chamber,
The pot body of the rice cooker with a lid, which is housed in the heating chamber so as to be freely accessible through the opening, is provided with a steam vent opening facing the position corresponding to the exhaust port when the rice cooker is housed in the heating chamber. A handle consisting of a handle and arms connected to both sides of the rice cooker is pivotally supported on both sides of the pot body of the rice cooker so that the handle can be raised freely. A stopper for supporting the grip part is provided on the pot body of the rice cooker so that the grip part cannot be tilted below the upper edge of the opening of the heating chamber.

(Example) An example of implementing the present invention will be explained with reference to the attached drawings.

In the drawings, reference numeral 1 indicates a cooking device main body, and the main body 1 is provided with a heating chamber 2 for cooking rice on one side and a heating chamber 3 for grill cooking on the other side. A pair of left and right stoves 4, 4 are provided on one side and the other side. The heating warehouses 2 and 3 each have a front opening 6 with a door 5 that can be opened and closed, and an exhaust port 7 at the rear of the heating warehouse 2, which communicates with the outside air.

Further explaining the heating cabinet 2, it is equipped with a rice cooker pot 8 with a lid 8a that can be freely accessed and removed through the opening 6, and a gas burner 9 as a heat source on the lower side of the main body 8b. As clearly shown in FIG. 4, for example, the rice cooking pot 8 consists of a flat, substantially rectangular casing as a whole, and the pot body 8b of the rice cooking pot 8
Protrusions 1 provided at two places on both sides of the front and back respectively.
0 and 10, it is mounted and supported on a support frame 12 placed on the soup tray 11 in the heating chamber 1, and is provided so as to be pulled out from the opening 6 together with the support frame 12. As shown in FIG. 5, the support frame 12 includes a contact portion 12a that contacts a guide piece 18 provided on the soup saucer 11 using a metal rod, and a support that supports the pot body 8b of the rice cooker 8 with its protrusions 10, 10. 12d, a contact portion 12b that contacts the rear end of the pot body 8b, and a support portion 12c at the front end that receives the lower surface of the rice cooker pot 8 when it is pulled out.

13 is a position corresponding to the exhaust port 7 of the heating chamber 2 when the rice cooker pot 8 is stored in the heating chamber 2; for example, a steam vent provided at the rear end of the pot body 8b; 14 is a steam vent provided in the pot body 8;
b shows a handle provided on the handle 14, which is the handle 14a
and arm portions 14b continuous to both sides thereof, and the distal end of the arm portion 14b is pivotally supported by a shaft 19 behind the center of gravity on both sides of the pot body 8b, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 6. Then, a stopper 15 is provided on at least one side of the pot body 8b of the rice cooker 8, with which the rear side of the arm portion 14b of the handle 14 comes into contact when the handle 14 is erected. The handle 14a is arranged to face upward from the upper edge of the opening 6 of the heating chamber 2 so that it does not fall toward the steam vent side.

Note that the protrusions 10, 1 on both sides of the pot body 8b described above
0 is constituted by vertically long ribs provided at two places in the front and back on both sides of the pot body 8b, and when the rice cooker pot 8 is pulled forward from the opening 6, the front surface of the rear protrusion 10 is provided on the support frame 12. It is configured to engage with the engaging piece 16 and stop.

In the drawing, reference numeral 17 indicates a temperature sensor provided in the center of the gas burner 9, and reference numeral 20 indicates a stopper provided in the heating chamber 2 that locks the upper edge of the rear end of the soup tray 11.

What is shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 is the handle 1
4 is provided with the tip of the arm portion 14b supported by a shaft 19 on both sides of the pot body 8b. The handle 14 is attached to the front of the rice cooking pot 8.
When the steam vent port 13 is tilted to the position facing the steam vent port 13, the upper edge of the steam vent port 13 will fall down to the position facing the steam vent port 15.
This prevents the grip 14a from tilting below the upper edge of the opening 6.

(Function) Next, to explain how to use this device, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. When the rice cooker 8 is placed on the support frame 12 holding the handle 14 with the frame 12 pulled out forward, if the rice cooker 8 is placed correctly at the front and back, the handle 1
4 can be tilted to the side opposite to the steam vent side, and the rice cooker 8 can slide on the support frame 12 and enter the heating chamber 2 without being obstructed by the handle 14, When the end hits 12b provided on the support frame 12,
The rice cooking pot 8 further enters the heating chamber 2 together with the support frame 12, and is finally stored in the state shown in FIG. 3. However, if the rice cooker pot 8 is placed in the wrong direction, the handle 14 cannot be folded down, and as shown in FIG. Cannot be inserted into storage 2.

Although it is rarely predicted, if the handle 14 is tilted toward the steam vent side in advance and the pot body 8b is inserted into the heating chamber 2 with the handle 14 tilted down first, the result will be as shown in FIG. The rice cooking pot 8 could not be completely inserted into the heating chamber 2 because the grip part 14a hit the support piece 20 of the soup saucer provided at the rear end of the heating chamber 2, and due to this, the front and back were inserted incorrectly. can be known.

Furthermore, in the case shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, when the rice cooking pot 8 is correctly placed on the support frame 12, it can be pushed into the heating chamber 2 as shown in FIG. However, if the rice cooker 8 is placed in the wrong position, the handle 14 will hit the upper edge of the opening 6 of the heating chamber 2, as shown in FIG. 9, and the rice cooker 8 will be prevented from being inserted beyond a certain level. Therefore, it is possible to know that it has been placed incorrectly.

In this way, according to the present invention, a heating chamber having an opening on the front and a heat source on the lower surface is provided in the main body of the cooking device, an exhaust port is provided at the rear of the heating chamber, and the heating chamber is connected to the heating chamber through the opening. The pot body of the rice cooker with a lid, which is housed in the rice cooker so that it can be taken in and out freely, is provided with a steam vent that faces the position corresponding to the exhaust port when the rice cooker is housed in the heating chamber. A handle consisting of a handle and arms connected to both sides of the handle is pivotally supported on both sides of the rice cooker. Since the rice cooker is equipped with a stopper that locks the rice cooker so that it does not tilt downward, the handle can prevent the rice cooker from being accidentally placed upside down in the heating cabinet. This has the effect of reliably preventing the above-mentioned inconvenience caused by storing the pot in the heating chamber with the wrong front and back.
