Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a food container for food and drink used in general households.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this type of food container has been used merely as a container for food and drink, and no information on food and drink in the container has been shown. Therefore, when it is desired to know various information such as the temperature and salt concentration of the food and drink in the container, a thermometer, a salt meter and the like are separately inserted into the food and drink in the container for measurement.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional configuration, information on food and drink such as temperature and salt concentration cannot be obtained without a thermometer and a salt meter, and the usability is poor.

Particularly, in order to make a delicious dish, it is important to adjust the temperature and saltiness of the food, and in the recent health boom, it is required that individuals can check their own salt intake. However, there is a problem in that it is inconvenient to use.

Further, even if a thermometer, a salt meter, etc. are separately used, it may be difficult to obtain accurate information due to the insertion method, etc. Moreover, the management contents of the thermometer, the salt meter, etc. may make it hygienic to the user. There was a problem such as giving a sense of resistance.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and improves the usability during cooking by accurately detecting and displaying various information such as the temperature and salt content of food and drink in the container. The purpose is to measure.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides various sensors for detecting temperature, salt content, etc. in contact with food and drink on the inner surface of a container for containing food and drink, and detecting by the various sensors. The container body is provided with an analysis circuit for analyzing various information such as the temperature, the salt content, and the salt concentration, a display device for displaying the analysis result, and an operation unit for instructing detection of these.

Further, various sensors are provided on the inner bottom surface of the container in contact with food and drink to detect temperature, salt content and the like.

Further, according to the present invention, a handle portion is provided on the side surface of the container, and the handle portion is provided with an analysis circuit, a display device for displaying an analysis result, and an operating portion.

Further, the salt content in the container is displayed on the display device as a salt concentration. Further, the salt content in the container is displayed on the display device as the salt content.

Further, the container for storing food and drink has a double-structured wall.

[0012]

According to the above construction, when food or drink is put in the container and the operating portion is operated, various sensors in contact with the food or drink instantly detect the temperature, salt concentration, etc. contained in the food or drink, and The analysis circuit analyzes the result and the result is displayed on the display device. Therefore, various information on food and drink can be checked and cooked.

Further, by providing various sensors on the inner bottom surface of the container, the various sensors can come into contact with each other regardless of the amount of food and drink, so that information such as temperature and salt content can always be detected accurately.

[0014]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, 1 is a container,
A salt sensor 3 is arranged on the inner bottom surface 2 of the.
Reference numeral 4 denotes a bottom lid which covers and seals the installation portion of the salt content sensor 3.

A handle portion 5 is provided on the side surface of the container 1. Inside the handle portion 5, an analysis circuit 6 for analyzing the information obtained from the salt sensor 3, a display device 7 such as a liquid crystal display for displaying the result analyzed by the analysis circuit 6, and a power source portion 8 such as a battery are housed. This is operated by the operation button 9 provided on the upper portion of the handle portion 5.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the appearance of the handle portion 5 is such that a salt content of 1 is displayed on the display device 7 by the display window 10.
1, the measured values of salt concentration 12 can be read to the outside.

The operation of the food container configured as described above will be described below. When the food and drink such as cooking ingredients and beverages are stored in the container 1 and the user wants to know the information such as the salt content thereof, the operation button 9 provided on the handle portion 5 is operated, and the bottom of the container 1 is displayed. The salt sensor 3 provided works reliably to detect the salt accurately. Then, the information from the salt sensor 3 is sent to the analysis circuit 6, the salt content, the salt concentration, etc. are calculated, and the result is digitally displayed as the salt content 11, the salt concentration 12, etc. on the display device 7.

With the above structure, when the user wants to know the information on the food or drink in the container 1, he / she can simply check the information such as the salt concentration and the salt content of the food / drink even if the food is being cooked by pressing the operation button 9. be able to.

Further, when it is desired to know the temperature of food and drink, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, in addition to the above-mentioned salt content sensor 3,
The temperature sensor 16 is provided on the bottom of the container,
The information from 1 is sent to the analysis circuit 6, the temperature is calculated, and the result may be displayed as the temperature 17 added to the display device 7.

The same effect can be obtained even if the container 1 has a double structure in which the hollow portion 20 is provided between the outer wall 18 and the inner wall 19 as shown in FIG.

[0021]

As described above, according to the present invention, various sensors of food and drink are detected by various sensors installed on the bottom of the container, and various information such as temperature, salt concentration and salt content are displayed on the display device. Since it is displayed, various information on food and drink can be easily checked and cooked. Therefore,
It is possible to easily adjust the saltiness for making the food delicious and the salt content for healthy food, and to perform rational cooking without waste.

Further, by providing a handle portion on the side surface of the container and accommodating components such as an analysis circuit in the handle portion, a compact and easy-to-use product can be provided.

Further, by providing various sensors on the inner bottom surface of the container, the various sensors come into contact with each other regardless of the amount of food and drink, so that information such as temperature and salt content can always be detected accurately. .
