Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an induction heating cooking device which solves a problem that a scratch spreads easily over a wide range when a pan or frying pan is moved to slip the upper surface of a top frame during cooking due to a step above the upper surface of a top plate. <P>SOLUTION: The induction heating cooking device has convex sections 31 on the upper surface of a top frame 30 at about 50 mm pitch, and catches the bottom face of a pan or frying pan with crowning points of many convex sections on the upper surface of the top frame. This prevents a scratch spreading to the upper surface of the top frame over a wide range, and keeps the high-grade appearance for a long period of time. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to an induction heating type cooker used in a kitchen of a general household, and particularly relates to a configuration of a top frame of a top unit portion.

  Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 6, this type of induction heating type cooker includes a main body case 1, a top plate 2 covering the upper side, a fish grill (roaster) 3 that constitutes the front of the main body, and its A door part 4 constituting the front surface, an operation part 5 having a switch knob and the like, a right side cover 6 for covering a gap between the side of the main body and the sink when installed on a sink, and a left side cover 7 (for example, refer to Patent Document 1).

  Circles 8 and 9 indicating induction heaters are drawn on the left and right of the top surface of the top plate 2, and circles 10 indicating electric resistance heating heaters are drawn on the back side. A heater is provided.

In the operation section 5, operation means 11 for an induction heater, an electric resistance heating heater, and a roaster 3 are arranged. A display unit 12 for knowing the heating state is provided in the forefront of the top plate. The outer periphery of the top plate 2 is covered from above with a top frame 13 to protect the end portion of the top plate and serve as a strength member.
JP 2003-208970 A

  However, in the conventional configuration, the top frame 13 provided on the outer periphery of the top plate 2 has a step above the upper surface of the top plate. Therefore, during cooking, a pan or a frying pan is moved to slide the top frame. If this happens, there is a problem that the scratches may easily be applied over a wide range.

  The present invention solves the above-described conventional problems, and even when a pan or a frying pan is slid to the top frame during cooking, it is difficult to be scratched over a wide area, and a high-quality appearance can be maintained for a long time. In addition, an object of the present invention is to provide a high-quality induction heating cooker that is easy to use and eliminates excessive use of the user so as not to scratch the user.

  In order to solve the above-described conventional problems, an induction heating cooker according to the present invention includes a main body constituting an outer shell, and a top unit portion that covers an upper surface of the main body and is fixed to the main body. Is formed by a flat top plate and a top frame that covers the outer periphery thereof, and a plurality of convex portions are provided at arbitrary positions on the top surface of the top frame.

  As a result, even when the user slides the pan or frying pan to the top frame top surface during cooking, the bottom surface of the pan or frying pan is received at the top of the plurality of convex portions on the top frame top surface. Thus, a wide range of scratches can be prevented, and a high-quality appearance can be maintained for a long period of time.

  In addition, the induction heating cooker according to the present invention is configured such that the shape of the protrusion on the top frame provided at the front and side portions of the approximate center of the heating circle drawn on the top plate is a plurality of other protrusions. Larger or oval shape than the part.

  As a result, when the visually handicapped person searches for the position of the heating portion with his / her finger to easily find the convex portion on the top frame, the shape is different from the other convex portions, which makes it easier to understand.

  The induction heating cooker of the present invention has a top unit portion that covers the upper surface of the main body and is fixed to the main body, and the top unit portion is formed on a flat top plate and a top frame that covers the outer periphery thereof. And having a convex rib portion continuous on the upper surface of the top frame.

  As a result, the bottom of the pan or frying pan is received at the apex of the convex rib on the top frame top surface, and a wide range of scratches on the top frame top surface can be prevented, maintaining a high-quality appearance for a long period of time, and scratching from the user. Excessive use to prevent connection is eliminated, and the relative height of the outer periphery is increased, so the allowable amount when boiling water spills from the pan increases (the amount that fits in the top frame And flow out to the floor of the kitchen can be prevented.

  The induction heating cooker according to the present invention has a configuration in which a plurality of convex portions are provided at an arbitrary position on the top frame, so that the top frame can be used even when the pan or the pan is slid to the top frame top. A wide range of scratches on the upper surface can be prevented, a high-quality appearance can be maintained for a long period of time, and unnecessary use that prevents the user from being scratched can be eliminated.

  1st invention has the main body which comprises an outer shell, and the top unit part which covers the upper surface of the said main body, and is fixed to the said main body, The said top unit part is a top frame which covers the flat top plate and its outer periphery By forming a plurality of convex portions at arbitrary positions on the upper surface of the top frame, even if the user slides a pan or a frying pan to the upper surface of the top frame during cooking, By receiving the bottom of the pan or frying pan at the apex of the multiple protrusions, extensive scratches on the top frame top surface are prevented, maintaining a high-quality appearance for a long period of time, and preventing scratches from the user. Unnecessary mental usage can be eliminated and usability can be improved.

  In the second to fourth inventions, the shape of the convex part on the top frame provided at the front part and the side part of the approximate center of the heating circle drawn on the top plate is different from the other plural convex parts, The large or oval shape makes it easier for visually impaired people to find the position of the heating part with their fingers to easily find the convex part on the top frame. It can be improved.

  5th invention has a top unit part which covers the upper surface of the said main body, and is fixed to the said main body, The said top unit part is formed in the top frame which covers the flat top plate and its outer periphery, The said top By adopting a configuration in which a convex rib part is provided on the upper surface of the frame, the bottom surface of the pan or frying pan is received at the apex of the convex rib on the upper surface of the top frame, and extensive scratches on the upper surface of the top frame are prevented. In addition to maintaining a high-grade appearance for a long period of time, it can eliminate unnecessary mental use to prevent the user from being scratched, and the relative height of the outer periphery is high, so boiling water etc. from the pan Allowable amount of spillage is increased (the amount that fits in the top frame is increased) and it can be prevented from flowing out to the floor of the kitchen. It is those that can be achieved.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments.
