Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、複数の金属層で構成された誘導加熱調理用鍋、この誘導加熱調理用鍋の製造方法、およびこの誘導加熱調理用鍋を用いた炊飯器に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来の誘導加熱調理用鍋は、内側のアルミニウム層と外側の磁性体金属層との2層で構成され、磁性体金属層の外面に凹凸加工が施されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。
【0003】
【特許文献1】
特開平9−129361号公報(第3,4頁、図2)
【0004】
なお、誘導加熱調理用鍋とは異なるが、一般的なガスレンジ用鍋の参考例として、例えば、特開2001−238791号公報に記載のものがある。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、従来の誘導加熱調理用鍋は、鍋の外面に凹凸があるため、磁性体金属層の表面積が大きくなり、電磁誘導によって加熱された磁性体金属層の表面から熱が逃げ易くなる。その結果、鍋の加熱効率が低下してしまい問題であった。
【0006】
本発明は、このような問題を解決し、加熱効率の高い誘導加熱調理用鍋、誘導加熱調理用鍋の製造方法および炊飯器を提供することを目的とする。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の誘導加熱調理用鍋は、外側の磁性体金属層と内側の熱良導性金属層との少なくとも2層の金属層で構成された誘導加熱調理用鍋において、鍋本体の外面の表面積より内面の表面積を大きくしたものである。
【0008】
また、本発明の誘導加熱調理用鍋の製造方法は、外側の磁性体金属層と内側の熱良導性金属層との少なくとも2層の金属層で構成された円形多層金属板に対して、その内面に多数の凹部を形成し、その後に鍋形状にプレス成形したものである。
【0009】
さらに、本発明の炊飯器は、炊飯器本体と、炊飯器本体の上部開口部を覆う蓋体と、炊飯器本体内に着脱可能に収容される誘導加熱調理用鍋と、誘導加熱調理用鍋を加熱する誘導加熱コイルとを備え、誘導加熱調理用鍋は、外側の磁性体金属層と内側の熱良導性金属層との少なくとも2層の金属層で構成され、鍋本体の外面より内面の表面積を大きくしたものである。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明に係る誘導加熱調理用鍋、誘導加熱調理用鍋の製造方法および炊飯器の好適な実施の形態について添付図面を参照して説明する。
実施の形態1.
図1は、実施の形態1に係る炊飯器の構成を示す断面図である。図1において、1は上部が開口した炊飯器本体、2は炊飯器本体1の後方上部に設けられたヒンジ部1aを介して炊飯器本体1の上部開口部を開閉自在に覆うように取付けられた蓋体、3は炊飯器本体1内に収容される誘導加熱調理用鍋、4は誘導加熱調理用鍋3を電磁誘導加熱する誘導加熱コイル、5は上ケース6と下ケース7とコイル台8からなる炊飯器本体1の本体ケースである。ここで、誘導加熱コイル4は、2重の環状に配置された内コイル4aと外コイル4bとを備えている。
【0011】
そして、上ケース6の前面側上部には、炊飯スイッチや予約スイッチ等の操作パネル9が設けられ、炊飯器本体1内の後方側には、上ケース6から下ケース7に亘って電源コードリール10が設けられている。また、本体ケース5のコイル台8のほぼ中心部には、誘導加熱調理用鍋3の底部に接触して誘導加熱調理用鍋3の温度を検知する温度センサ11が設けられ、炊飯器本体1の内部には、炊飯器の動作を制御する制御部12が設けられている。
【0012】
次に、図2〜4を用いて誘導加熱調理用鍋3の構造を詳細に説明する。図2は誘導加熱調理用鍋3の内部側面形状を示す断面図である。また、図3は誘導加熱調理用鍋3の内部底面形状を示す平面図である。さらに、図4は誘導加熱調理用鍋3の断面構造を示す部分拡大図である。図2〜図4に示すように、誘導加熱調理用鍋3は、外側の磁性体金属層3aと、内側の熱良導性金属層3bとの2層の金属層で構成され、内表面にはご飯がこびり付かないようにフッ素樹脂コーティング層3cが形成されている。磁性体金属層3aには、フェライト系ステンレスや鋼板等が用いられ、熱良導性金属層3bには、アルミニウムまたはアルミニウム合金が用いられている。
【0013】
なお、磁性体金属層3aの外表面にも、フッ素樹脂コーティング層やシリコーン系の非粘着性のコーティング層を形成してもよい。また、磁性体金属層3aには、誘導加熱可能な金属であれば、いかなる金属を用いてもよい。さらに、熱良導性金属層3bには、誘導加熱された磁性体金属層3aの熱を鍋内部に伝達できる金属であれば、いかなる金属を用いてもよい。
【0014】
誘導加熱調理用鍋3の内面には、内コイル4aの対向部から外コイル4bの対向部(即ち、誘導加熱コイル4に対向する部位)にかけて、鍋底の中心を円心とした同心円上に、放射状に多数の球面形状の凹部13aが形成されている。そして、各凹部13aの周縁部分が凸部13bを構成し、誘導加熱調理用鍋3の内面が凹凸になっている。一方、誘導加熱調理用鍋3の外面には、何ら凹凸加工は施されておらず、滑らかな平坦面となっている。
【0015】
このため、誘導加熱調理用鍋3は、外面の表面積よりも内面の表面積の方が大きくなる。その結果、誘導加熱コイル4の駆動によって磁力線が発生し、磁性体金属層3aが電磁誘導加熱で発熱した場合、この熱の多くは、表面積の大きな誘導加熱調理用鍋3の内面から放射される。よって、炊飯時の火力が強力になり、炊飯性能が向上する。また、誘導加熱調理用鍋3の内面が凹凸であるため、鍋内の水との接触面積が増加して、熱効率の高い加熱が可能となる。さらに、誘導加熱調理用鍋3の内面が凹凸であるため、米粒との接触及び当たりが増加し、軽い力で素早く米研ぎを行うことができる。
【0016】
また、誘導加熱調理用鍋3の内面に凹部13aを設けることにより、鍋内に対流を効果的に発生させることが可能となる。即ち、図5に示すように、電磁誘導加熱によって磁性体金属層3aが発熱した場合、この熱は熱良導性金属層3bを通過して、誘導加熱調理用鍋3の内面から放射される。この際、凹部13a底面と凸部13bとでは、熱を通過させる距離が大きく異なる。即ち、磁性体金属層3aと熱良導性金属層3bとの接合面から凹部13a底面までの距離L1に比べて、磁性体金属層3aと熱良導性金属層3bとの接合面から凸部13bまでの距離L2の方が長い。
【0017】
その結果、凸部13bに比べて凹部13a底面の方が、熱良導性金属層3bの通過による熱損失が少なくなり、凸部13bの表面温度t2に比べて、凹部13a底面の表面温度t1の方が高くなる。そして、凹部13aと凸部13bとの表面温度の差(t1−t2)によって鍋内に対流が発生し、米粒を鍋内で適度に循環させることができる。その結果、炊きムラの少ないふっくらしたご飯を炊き上げることが可能となる。
【0018】
図6に示すように、誘導加熱調理用鍋3は、凹部13aの外径が米粒の長辺より長くなるように構成されている。このため、以下に挙げる効果が得られる。第1に、凹部13a内に米粒が入り込み易くなり、凹部13a内で米粒を十分に加熱させることができる。第2に、凹部13a内に入り込んだ米粒と凹部13aとの間に隙間ができるので、炊飯時の水の対流がこの隙間に入り込み、米粒を押し上げるように作用する。その結果、凹部13a内の米粒は、凹部13a内から容易に離脱できるようになり、凹部13a内での米粒の目詰まりが抑制される。よって、十分な放熱面積が確保され、誘導加熱調理用鍋3の熱効率が向上する。
【0019】
第3に、凹部13aに入り込んだ米粒によって、積み重なった米粒の整列が乱れ、米を研ぐときに米粒同士の摩擦が良くなる。このため、米を研ぐときに米粒に掛かる力が分散され、米粒の割れを効果的に防止できる。また、米粒同士の摩擦が良好なために、一回の米研ぎで多くの米粒に力が波及するので、米を研ぐ時間を短縮させることができる。
【0020】
さらに、誘導加熱調理用鍋3は、凹部13aの深さが米粒の短辺より浅くなるように構成されている。このため、以下に挙げる効果が得られる。第1に、凹部13a内に入り込んだ米粒の上端部は、凹部13aからはみ出すので、炊飯時の水の対流が米粒の上端部に直接当たる。その結果、米粒は凹部13a内から容易に離脱することができ、凹部13a内での米粒の目詰まりが抑制される。よって、十分な放熱面積が確保され、誘導加熱調理用鍋3の熱効率が向上する。第2に、米を研ぐ際に、凹部13aからはみ出した米粒の上端部に直接力が加わるので、米粒は凹部13a内に留まることなく、鍋内を効率的に移動する。このため、米粒の鍋内での循環が加速され、より均一に米を研ぐことが可能となる。
【0021】
以上説明した各効果は、少なくとも誘導加熱コイル4に対向する部位に凹部13aが形成されていれば、確実に発揮される。しかし、凹部13aの形成位置は、誘導加熱コイル4に対向する部位のみに限定されるものではなく、図7に示すように、誘導加熱調理用鍋3の側面上部まで、凹部13aを形成してもよい。また、内コイル4aに対向する部位には凹部13aを形成し、且つ外コイル4bに対向する部位には凹部13aを形成しないという構成としてもよい。さらに、誘導加熱コイル4に対向する部位において、凹部13aを形成する部分と凹部13aを形成しない部分とに分ける構成としてもよい。このような構成とすることにより、炊飯時の鍋内の対流に変化を起こさせることができ、米粒の鍋内での循環が促進され、加熱効率が向上する。
【0022】
また、凹部13aの形状は、球面形状或いは楕円球面形状に限定されることなく、例えば、図8(a)〜(c)に示すような四角錘形状や、図9(a)〜(d)に示すような長径形状(サイド三角錘形状)であってもよい。さらに、異なる形状の組み合わせであってもよい。
【0023】
図10は、実施の形態1の変形例に係る誘導加熱調理用鍋3の内部側面形状を示す図である。図10に示すように、誘導加熱調理用鍋3の内部側面には、凹部13aが形成されずに略平坦な水位目盛り表示エリア14が設けられている。水位目盛り表示エリア14には、鍋内に満たされる水の水位を示す「水位目盛り」が印刷されている。略平坦な水位目盛り表示エリア14に「水位目盛り」を印刷することにより、印刷のかすれを確実に防止することができる。なお、水位目盛り表示エリア14は、単一でもよく、また等間隔に複数個設けてもよい。
【0024】
図11は、実施の形態1の他の変形例に係る誘導加熱調理用鍋3の内部側面形状を示す図である。図11に示すように、誘導加熱調理用鍋3の側面に形成された凹部13aは、長辺を上下に延ばした楕円球面形状を有している。このため、炊飯後に杓文字でご飯を装う際、誘導加熱調理用鍋3の側面に沿って上から下に杓文字の先端を移動させることにより、凹部13a内の飯粒は傾斜の緩やかな楕円の長辺方向に移動して凹部13a内から離脱する。その結果、凹部13a内での飯粒のこびり付きが解消され、誘導加熱調理用鍋3の洗浄が容易になる。
【0025】
図12は、実施の形態1の他の変形例に係る誘導加熱調理用鍋3の内部底面形状を示す図である。図12に示すように、誘導加熱調理用鍋3の底面に形成された凹部13aは、長辺を放射状に延ばした楕円球面形状を有している。このため、炊飯後に杓文字でご飯を装う際、誘導加熱調理用鍋3の底面に沿って中心から周縁に杓文字の先端を移動させることにより、凹部13a内の飯粒は傾斜の緩やかな楕円の長辺方向に移動して凹部13a内から離脱する。その結果、凹部13a内での飯粒のこびり付きが解消され、誘導加熱調理用鍋3の洗浄が容易になる。
【0026】
図13,14は、実施の形態1の他の変形例を示す図である。図13に示すように、誘導加熱調理用鍋3の底面には、凹部13aが形成されずに略平坦な温度測定エリア15が設けられている。そして、図14に示すように、温度測定エリア15に対向する下面には、温度センサ11が配置されている。このため、誘導加熱調理用鍋3内部の熱は略平坦な温度測定エリア15を通して極めて少ないロスで温度センサ11に到達するので、誘導加熱調理用鍋3内部の正確な温度を温度センサ11で検出することが可能となる。
【0027】
実施の形態2.
次に、実施の形態2に係る誘導加熱調理用鍋の製造方法を説明する。なお、実施の形態2の製造方法によって、実施の形態1で詳細に説明した誘導加熱調理用鍋3が製造される。従って、実施の形態1と同一又は同等な構成部分については同一符号を付し、その説明は省略する。
【0028】
図15は、誘導加熱調理用鍋3の材料となる円形多層金属板16を示す図である。円形多層金属板16は、図16(a)に示すように、複数の金属層(磁性体金属層3aと熱良導性金属層3b)で構成されている。そして、図15、図16(b)に示すように、円形多層金属板16の熱良導性金属層3b側の中央部分に、多数の球面形状の凹部13aを形成する。ここで、上下に設けられた矩形状の一対の水位目盛り表示エリア14には、凹部13aは形成しないものとする。その後、熱良導性金属層3b側を内側にして鍋形状にプレス成形し、更に、図16(c)に示すように、熱良導性金属層3bの上面にフッ素樹脂コーティング層3cを形成することにより、図2、図3に示した誘導加熱調理用鍋3が完成する。
【0029】
本実施の形態の製造方法では、円形多層金属板16をプレス成形する前に、凹部13aを形成することによって、加工のし難い鍋の内面に対しても容易に凹部13aを形成することができる。また、プレス成形後にフッ素樹脂コーティング層3cを形成することにより、フッ素樹脂コーティング層3cがプレス成形時の押圧力によって傷つくことを防止することができる。
【0030】
円形多層金属板16に形成する凹部13aは、プレス成形により鍋の側面になる部分と、プレス成形により鍋のコーナー(鍋の側面と底面との境界部分)になる部分と、プレス成形により鍋の底面になる部分とで、形状を変えてもよい。即ち、図17(a)に示すように、鍋の側面になる部分は、上下方向に引っ張られると共に、左右方向に圧縮され、凹部13aの開口が上下に延びる。従って、凹部13aの開口を予め左右方向に長く且つ上下方向に短い楕円形に形成することにより、プレス成形により凹部13aの開口は、真円形状となる。
【0031】
また、図17(b)に示すように、鍋のコーナーになる部分は、鍋の側面になる部分より更に上下方向に引っ張られ、凹部13aの開口が上下に延びる。従って、凹部13aの開口を予め上下方向に短い楕円形(鍋の側面になる部分よりも更に上下方向に短い楕円形)に形成することにより、プレス成形により凹部13aの開口は、真円形状となる。
なお、図17(c)に示すように、鍋の底面になる部分は、プレス成形によって左右上下の両方向均等に弱い引張力が掛かるが、形状はほとんど変化しないので、図17(c)に示すように、凹部13aの開口は予め真円形状に形成する。
【0032】
以上のように、円形多層金属板16の内面に凹部13aを形成する際には、鍋底面の凹部13aの開口面積に比べて、鍋側面の凹部13aの開口面積が小さくなるように加工することにより、プレス成形によって鍋底面の凹部13aと鍋側面の凹部13aとの開口面積を略同一にすることができる。同様に、円形多層金属板16の内面に凹部13aを形成する際には、鍋底面の凹部13aの開口面積に比べて、鍋コーナーの凹部13aの開口面積が小さくなるように加工することにより、プレス成形によって鍋底面の凹部13aと鍋コーナーの凹部13aとの開口面積を略同一にすることができる。その結果、プレス成形後の各凹部13aの開口面積はいずれの部位も略同一となり、炊飯時の鍋内の加熱がより均一となる。
【0033】
なお、鍋の側面、コーナー及び底面で凹部13aの開口形状を変えているのは、プレス成型後に各開口形状が略同一になるようにするためである。従って、必ずしも真円形状でなくてもよく、楕円形状、多角形状等であってもよい。また、円形多層金属板16に形成する凹部13aは、図18に示すように、楕円球面形状であってもよい。さらに、図19に示すように、円形多層金属板16の中央部分に温度測定エリア15を設け、この温度測定エリア15には、凹部13aを形成しないようにしてもよい。
【0034】
【発明の効果】
本発明に係る誘導加熱調理用鍋は、外面の表面積よりも内面の表面積の方を大きくしたので、外側の磁性体金属層が電磁誘導加熱で発熱した場合に、この熱の多くは、表面積の大きな内面から放射される。その結果、炊飯時の火力が強力になり、炊飯性能が向上する。
【0035】
また、誘導加熱調理用鍋の製造方法は、円形多層金属板の内面に多数の凹部を形成し、その後に鍋形状にプレス成形したので、加工のし難い鍋の内面に対しても容易に凹部を形成することができる。
【0036】
さらに、本発明に係る炊飯器は、外面の表面積よりも内面の表面積の方が大きな誘導加熱調理用鍋を備えているので、誘導加熱コイルの駆動によって磁力線が発生し、磁性体金属層が電磁誘導加熱で発熱した場合に、この熱の多くは、表面積の大きな誘導加熱調理用鍋の内面から放射される。その結果、炊飯時の火力が強力になり、炊飯性能が向上する。

Note that a fluororesin coating layer or a silicone-based non-adhesive coating layer may be formed on the outer surface of the magnetic metal layer 3a. Further, any metal may be used for the magnetic metal layer 3a as long as the metal can be induction-heated. Further, any metal may be used for the heat conductive metal layer 3b as long as it can transfer the heat of the magnetic metal layer 3a heated by induction to the inside of the pan.
[0014]
On the inner surface of the induction heating cooking pot 3, from the opposing portion of the inner coil 4a to the opposing portion of the outer coil 4b (that is, the portion opposing the induction heating coil 4), on a concentric circle centered on the center of the pot bottom, A large number of spherical concave portions 13a are formed radially. The peripheral portion of each recess 13a forms a projection 13b, and the inner surface of the induction heating cooking pot 3 is uneven. On the other hand, the outer surface of the induction heating cooking pot 3 is not smoothed at all, and has a smooth flat surface.
[0015]
Therefore, the induction heating pot 3 has a larger surface area on the inner surface than on the outer surface. As a result, when lines of magnetic force are generated by driving the induction heating coil 4 and the magnetic metal layer 3a generates heat by electromagnetic induction heating, much of this heat is radiated from the inner surface of the induction heating cooking pot 3 having a large surface area. . Therefore, the heating power at the time of rice cooking becomes strong, and the rice cooking performance is improved. In addition, since the inner surface of the induction heating cooking pot 3 is uneven, the contact area with water in the pot increases, and heating with high thermal efficiency becomes possible. Furthermore, since the inner surface of the induction heating cooking pot 3 is uneven, contact with and contact with rice grains increase, and rice can be sharpened quickly with a light force.
[0016]
Further, by providing the recess 13a on the inner surface of the induction heating cooking pot 3, it is possible to effectively generate convection in the pot. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, when the magnetic metal layer 3a generates heat by electromagnetic induction heating, this heat passes through the thermally conductive metal layer 3b and is radiated from the inner surface of the induction heating cooking pot 3. . At this time, the distance through which heat passes is greatly different between the bottom surface of the concave portion 13a and the convex portion 13b. That is, as compared with the distance L1 from the bonding surface between the magnetic metal layer 3a and the thermally conductive metal layer 3b to the bottom surface of the recess 13a, the protrusion from the bonded surface between the magnetic metal layer 3a and the thermally conductive metal layer 3b is higher. The distance L2 to the portion 13b is longer.
[0017]
As a result, heat loss due to the passage of the heat conductive metal layer 3b is smaller at the bottom surface of the concave portion 13a than at the convex portion 13b, and the surface temperature t1 of the bottom surface of the concave portion 13a is lower than the surface temperature t2 of the convex portion 13b. Is higher. Then, convection is generated in the pot due to the difference (t1-t2) between the surface temperatures of the concave portion 13a and the convex portion 13b, and rice grains can be circulated in the pot appropriately. As a result, it is possible to cook plump rice with less uneven cooking.
[0018]
As shown in FIG. 6, the induction heating cooking pot 3 is configured such that the outer diameter of the recess 13a is longer than the long side of the rice grain. For this reason, the following effects can be obtained. First, rice grains easily enter the recesses 13a, and the rice grains can be sufficiently heated in the recesses 13a. Secondly, since a gap is formed between the rice grains that have entered the recess 13a and the recess 13a, convection of water during rice cooking enters the gap and acts to push up the rice grains. As a result, the rice grains in the recess 13a can be easily separated from the recess 13a, and the clogging of the rice grains in the recess 13a is suppressed. Therefore, a sufficient heat radiation area is secured, and the thermal efficiency of the induction heating cooking pot 3 is improved.
[0019]
Third, the alignment of the stacked rice grains is disturbed by the rice grains that have entered the recess 13a, and the friction between the rice grains is improved when polishing the rice. For this reason, the force applied to the rice grains when polishing the rice is dispersed, and cracking of the rice grains can be effectively prevented. In addition, since the friction between the rice grains is good, the power spreads to many rice grains in one rice sharpening, so that the time for grinding the rice can be shortened.
[0020]
Further, the induction cooking pot 3 is configured such that the depth of the recess 13a is shallower than the short side of the rice grain. For this reason, the following effects can be obtained. First, since the upper end of the rice grain that has entered the recess 13a protrudes from the recess 13a, the convection of water during cooking directly hits the upper end of the rice grain. As a result, the rice grains can be easily separated from the recess 13a, and the clogging of the rice grains in the recess 13a is suppressed. Therefore, a sufficient heat radiation area is secured, and the thermal efficiency of the induction heating cooking pot 3 is improved. Secondly, when polishing rice, a force is directly applied to the upper end of the rice grains protruding from the recess 13a, so that the rice grains efficiently move in the pot without remaining in the recess 13a. For this reason, the circulation of the rice grains in the pot is accelerated, and the rice can be ground more uniformly.
[0021]
Each of the effects described above is surely exerted if the recess 13a is formed at least in a portion facing the induction heating coil 4. However, the formation position of the concave portion 13a is not limited to only the portion opposed to the induction heating coil 4, and as shown in FIG. Is also good. Further, a configuration may be adopted in which a concave portion 13a is formed at a portion facing the inner coil 4a, and the concave portion 13a is not formed at a portion facing the outer coil 4b. Further, the portion facing the induction heating coil 4 may be configured to be divided into a portion where the concave portion 13a is formed and a portion where the concave portion 13a is not formed. With such a configuration, it is possible to cause a change in convection in the pot at the time of cooking rice, the circulation of rice grains in the pot is promoted, and the heating efficiency is improved.
[0022]
Further, the shape of the concave portion 13a is not limited to a spherical shape or an elliptical spherical shape, and may be, for example, a quadrangular pyramid shape as shown in FIGS. 8 (a) to 8 (c), or FIGS. 9 (a) to 9 (d). (A side triangular pyramid shape) as shown in FIG. Further, a combination of different shapes may be used.
[0023]
FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the shape of the inner side surface of induction heating cooking pot 3 according to a modification of the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 10, a substantially flat water level scale display area 14 is provided on the inner side surface of the induction cooking pot 3 without forming the recess 13 a. In the water level scale display area 14, a "water level scale" indicating the water level of the water filled in the pot is printed. By printing the "water level scale" on the substantially flat water level scale display area 14, blurring of the printing can be reliably prevented. In addition, the water level scale display area 14 may be single or may be provided at equal intervals.
[0024]
FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an inner side surface shape of the induction heating cooking pot 3 according to another modification of the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 11, the concave portion 13a formed on the side surface of the induction heating cooking pot 3 has an elliptical spherical shape with a long side extending vertically. For this reason, when dressing rice with a scoop after cooking rice, by moving the tip of the scoop from top to bottom along the side surface of the induction heating cooking pot 3, the rice grains in the concave portion 13a have an elliptical shape with a gentle slope. It moves in the long side direction and separates from the inside of the concave portion 13a. As a result, sticking of the rice grains in the concave portion 13a is eliminated, and the cleaning of the induction heating cooking pot 3 is facilitated.
[0025]
FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an inner bottom surface shape of the induction heating cooking pot 3 according to another modification of the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 12, the concave portion 13a formed on the bottom surface of the induction heating cooking pot 3 has an elliptical spherical shape whose long sides extend radially. For this reason, when dressing rice with a scoop after cooking rice, by moving the tip of the scoop from the center to the periphery along the bottom surface of the induction cooking pot 3, the rice grains in the recess 13a have a gentle elliptical shape. It moves in the long side direction and separates from the inside of the concave portion 13a. As a result, sticking of the rice grains in the concave portion 13a is eliminated, and the cleaning of the induction heating cooking pot 3 is facilitated.
[0026]
13 and 14 are diagrams showing another modification of the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 13, a substantially flat temperature measurement area 15 is provided on the bottom surface of the induction heating cooking pot 3 without forming the recess 13 a. Then, as shown in FIG. 14, a temperature sensor 11 is disposed on the lower surface facing the temperature measurement area 15. For this reason, the heat inside the induction heating cooking pot 3 reaches the temperature sensor 11 with a very small loss through the substantially flat temperature measurement area 15, so that the accurate temperature inside the induction heating cooking pot 3 is detected by the temperature sensor 11. It is possible to do.
[0027]
Embodiment 2 FIG.
Next, a method for manufacturing the induction cooking pot according to Embodiment 2 will be described. The induction heating pot 3 described in detail in the first embodiment is manufactured by the manufacturing method of the second embodiment. Therefore, the same reference numerals are given to the same or equivalent components as in the first embodiment, and description thereof will be omitted.
[0028]
FIG. 15 is a view showing a circular multilayer metal plate 16 which is a material of the induction heating cooking pot 3. As shown in FIG. 16A, the circular multilayer metal plate 16 includes a plurality of metal layers (a magnetic metal layer 3a and a thermally conductive metal layer 3b). Then, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 16 (b), a large number of spherical concave portions 13a are formed in the central portion of the circular multilayer metal plate 16 on the side of the heat conductive metal layer 3b. Here, it is assumed that no concave portion 13a is formed in a pair of rectangular water level scale display areas 14 provided above and below. Thereafter, the heat conductive metal layer 3b is pressed into a pot shape with the side of the heat conductive metal layer 3b inside, and a fluororesin coating layer 3c is formed on the upper surface of the heat conductive metal layer 3b as shown in FIG. Thereby, the induction heating cooking pot 3 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 is completed.
[0029]
In the manufacturing method of the present embodiment, the recess 13a is formed before the circular multilayer metal plate 16 is press-formed, so that the recess 13a can be easily formed even on the inner surface of the pot that is difficult to process. . Further, by forming the fluororesin coating layer 3c after press molding, it is possible to prevent the fluororesin coating layer 3c from being damaged by the pressing force at the time of press molding.
[0030]
The concave portion 13a formed in the circular multilayer metal plate 16 has a portion that becomes a side surface of the pot by press forming, a portion that becomes a corner of the pot by pressing (a boundary portion between the side surface and the bottom surface of the pot), and a portion of the pot that is pressed by pressing. The shape may be changed depending on the portion to be the bottom surface. That is, as shown in FIG. 17 (a), the side portion of the pot is pulled up and down and compressed in the left and right direction, and the opening of the recess 13a extends up and down. Therefore, by forming the opening of the recess 13a in an elliptical shape that is long in the left-right direction and short in the up-down direction in advance, the opening of the recess 13a becomes a perfect circle by press molding.
[0031]
In addition, as shown in FIG. 17B, the corner portion of the pot is further pulled in the vertical direction than the side portion of the pot, and the opening of the recess 13a extends vertically. Therefore, by forming the opening of the concave portion 13a in advance into an elliptical shape which is short in the vertical direction (an elliptical shape which is shorter in the vertical direction than the portion which becomes the side surface of the pan), the opening of the concave portion 13a has a perfect circular shape by press molding. Become.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 17 (c), the portion to be the bottom of the pan is subjected to a weak pulling force equally in both the left, right, up and down directions by press molding, but the shape is hardly changed, so that it is shown in FIG. 17 (c). As described above, the opening of the concave portion 13a is formed in a perfect circular shape in advance.
[0032]
As described above, when forming the concave portion 13a on the inner surface of the circular multilayer metal plate 16, processing is performed so that the opening area of the concave portion 13a on the side surface of the pot is smaller than the opening area of the concave portion 13a on the bottom surface of the pan. Accordingly, the opening area of the recess 13a on the bottom of the pot and the recess 13a on the side of the pot can be made substantially the same by press molding. Similarly, when forming the recess 13a on the inner surface of the circular multilayer metal plate 16, by processing so that the opening area of the recess 13a at the pot corner is smaller than the opening area of the recess 13a at the bottom of the pot, The opening area of the recess 13a on the bottom of the pot and the recess 13a on the corner of the pot can be made substantially the same by press molding. As a result, the opening area of each of the recesses 13a after the press molding becomes substantially the same at all the portions, and the heating in the pot during cooking rice becomes more uniform.
[0033]
The reason why the shape of the opening of the recess 13a is changed at the side, the corner, and the bottom of the pot is to make the shapes of the openings substantially the same after press molding. Therefore, the shape need not always be a perfect circle, but may be an ellipse, a polygon, or the like. Further, the concave portion 13a formed in the circular multilayer metal plate 16 may have an elliptical spherical shape as shown in FIG. Further, as shown in FIG. 19, a temperature measurement area 15 may be provided at the center of the circular multilayer metal plate 16, and the depression 13a may not be formed in this temperature measurement area 15.
[0034]
【The invention's effect】
Since the induction heating cooking pot according to the present invention has a larger inner surface area than an outer surface surface area, when the outer magnetic metal layer generates heat by electromagnetic induction heating, most of this heat is reduced by the surface area. Radiated from a large inner surface. As a result, the heating power at the time of rice cooking becomes strong, and the rice cooking performance is improved.
[0035]
In addition, the method of producing a pot for induction heating cooking involves forming a large number of recesses on the inner surface of a circular multilayer metal plate and then press-molding it into a pot shape, so that recesses can be easily formed on the inner surface of a pot that is difficult to process. Can be formed.
[0036]
Furthermore, since the rice cooker according to the present invention is provided with the induction heating cooking pot in which the surface area of the inner surface is larger than the surface area of the outer surface, the lines of magnetic force are generated by the driving of the induction heating coil, and the magnetic metal layer becomes electromagnetic. When heat is generated by induction heating, much of this heat is radiated from the inner surface of the induction heating cooking pot having a large surface area. As a result, the heating power at the time of rice cooking becomes strong, and the rice cooking performance is improved.
