  FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the injection hole shielding member 40. The injection hole shielding member 40 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  The injection hole shielding member 40 is provided on the lower surface of the support base 21, and has a cylindrical main body 41 with a substantially semicircular cross section, a flat plate-like first frame 42 that is erected and fixed on both sides of the main body 41, and Two frame bodies 43, a receiving metal fitting 44 that is rotatably engaged with the first frame body 42, and a shielding member driving portion 45 that is engaged with the second frame body 43 and rotates the main body 41. .

  In addition, an opening / closing shaft hole 42a is formed in the first frame body 42, and an engagement fitting 42c in which a recess 42b is formed is rotatably attached to the upper portion of the first frame body 42. An opening / closing shaft 44b protruding from the receiving metal 44 and having an engaging groove 44a is fixed to the side surface 44c of the receiving metal 44 and is bent in a substantially right angle direction with respect to the side surface 44c. An upper surface 44d is provided to be fixed to the upper surface.

  The engagement between the first frame body 42 and the receiving bracket 44 is performed by inserting the opening / closing shaft 44b of the receiving bracket 44 into the opening / closing shaft hole 42a of the first frame body 42 and inserting the recess 42b of the engaging bracket 42c into the opening / closing shaft 44b. This is performed by engaging with the engaging groove 44a.

  The second frame 43 is formed with a substantially semicircular drive shaft hole 43a into which a substantially semicircular drive shaft 45a protruding from the shielding member drive portion 45 is inserted and engaged. The upper surface of the shielding member drive unit 45 is fixed to the lower surface of the support base 21 so that the axis of the drive shaft 45a coincides with the axis of the opening / closing shaft 44b of the receiving bracket 44 and protrudes in the same direction. When the shielding member drive unit 45 is driven, the drive shaft 45a is rotated, and the main body 41 is rotated around the opening / closing shaft 44b of the receiving bracket 44 following the rotation of the drive shaft 45a. The movement between the position and the side position can be selected.

  When the above-described injection member position detector 77 detects the position of the detection fitting 76 and the seasoning liquid injection member 10 stops at a predetermined position, the longitudinal direction of the main body 41 of the injection hole shielding member 40 is the seasoning liquid injection member 10. Therefore, it is not necessary to cover the entire orbit of the seasoning liquid injection member 10, and the injection hole shielding member 40 can be made smaller and more compact.

  When the engagement fitting 42c is further rotated and released from the opening / closing shaft 44b, the injection hole shielding member becomes movable in the axial direction, and the first frame body 42 and the second frame body 43 are connected to the opening / closing shaft 44b and the drive. The engagement with the shaft 45a is released, and it can be easily detached from the support base 21. When the injection hole shielding member 40 is mounted, the reverse operation may be performed.

  FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing that the seasoning liquid injection member 10 and the support mechanism 20 are in the retracted position. The retracted position relationship will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  In the present embodiment, the seasoning liquid injection member 10 is positioned above the rice cooker 2 and the seasoning liquid injection member 10 can circulate in the rice cooker 2 in order to spread the seasoning liquid on the rice cooking pot 2, and seasoning is performed. The position where the liquid injection member 10 moves away from the upper position of the rice cooker 2 and moves to the side of the rice cooker 2 is set as the retreat position.

  Movement to the upper position and the retracted position is performed by the retracting mechanism 30. The cylinder 32 of the retraction mechanism 30 is driven, the support rotation shaft 31 is rotated following the drive, and the support mechanism 20 is rotated around the support rotation shaft 31 to support the conveying direction and support of the rice cooker 2. The longitudinal directions of the mechanisms 20 are arranged in parallel. As shown by an arc-shaped locus L in FIG. 6, the retraction mechanism 30 rotates the seasoning liquid injection member 10 and the support mechanism 20 to move from the upper position A of the rice cooker 2 to the retreat position B on the side of the rice cooker 2. Evacuate.

  However, the specific mode of retracting the seasoning liquid injection member 10 and the support mechanism 20 by the retracting mechanism 30 is not limited to that of the embodiment. For example, the retracting mechanism may retract the seasoning liquid injecting member 10 and the support mechanism 20 from the upper position to the retracted position along a linear trajectory on a straight guide rail.

  When the seasoning liquid injection member 10, the support mechanism 20, and the injection hole shielding member 40 are moved to the side (or outside) retreat position of the rice cooker 2, steam rising from the rice cooker 2 can be avoided. Condensation of the liquid injection member 10 and the support mechanism 20 can be suppressed.

  Moreover, it is desirable that the injection hole shielding member 40 is located below the injection hole 11 except when the seasoning liquid is sprayed. Basically, after the seasoning liquid injection member 10 stops at a predetermined position, the injection hole shielding member 40 is moved to a position below the injection hole 11 by the rotation of the shielding member driving unit 45. That is, since the seasoning liquid is prevented from falling downward, the injection hole 11 is indirectly closed. And since the pouring hole shielding member 40 is always in the lower position of the pouring hole 11 not only in the retreat position but also in the middle of the movement with the upper position of the rice cooker 2, the surroundings of the pouring liquid injection device 1 due to the fall of the seasoning liquid or the like Prevents dirt.

  FIG. 7 is a rear perspective view of the seasoning liquid injection apparatus 1 provided with the disposal tank 50 in the retracted position when a plurality of types of seasoning liquids are switched and sprayed. An example of the disposal tank 50 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The disposal tank 50 is used when the seasoning liquid injection member 10 and the support mechanism 20 are in the retracted position. The disposal tank 50 is installed below the seasoning liquid injection member 10, has a flat dish shape, and includes a discharge port 51 for discarding the seasoning liquid at one end. Further, the disposal tank 50 is formed such that the length in the longitudinal direction is larger than the length of the seasoning liquid injection member 10.

  Then, when the type of seasoning liquid sprayed to the rice cooker 2 that is sequentially transferred is switched, when the seasoning liquid injection member 10 is in the retracted position, the type of seasoning liquid to be sprayed next is supplied from the seasoning liquid supply port 23. The seasoning liquid remaining inside the seasoning liquid injection member 10 is discharged from the injection hole 11. At this time, the injection hole shielding member 40 has moved to the side position. The discharged seasoning liquid is received in the disposal tank 50 and discarded from the discharge port 51. Thus, since the seasoning liquid inside the seasoning liquid injection member 10 is replaced with the seasoning liquid to be sprayed next, the next seasoning liquid is sprayed from the beginning in the next rice cooker 2. In this way, different types of seasoning liquids can be sequentially switched in the same seasoning liquid injection member 10 and sprayed to the rice cooker 2.

  FIG. 8 is a conceptual diagram seen from a plane showing an example of another embodiment of the seasoning liquid injection member 10 and the support mechanism 20.

  In the support mechanism 20, a first support mechanism 20a and a second support mechanism 20b are arranged in a substantially L shape. FIG. 8A shows that the first support mechanism 20a is in the upper position of the rice cooker 2, and the second support mechanism 20b is in the retracted position. FIG. 8B shows the second support mechanism. 20b is in the upper position of the rice cooker 2, and the first support mechanism 20a is in the retracted position.

  When the 1st support mechanism 20a exists in the upper position of the rice cooking pot 2, the 1 seasoning liquid is sprayed to the rice cooking pot 2 from the 1st seasoning liquid injection | pouring member 10a, and the 2nd support mechanism 20b is the rice cooking pot 2's. When it is in the upper position, another seasoning liquid is sprayed from the second seasoning liquid injection member 10b to the rice cooker 2. Therefore, the first seasoning liquid injection member 10a and the second seasoning liquid injection member 10b can supply different types of seasoning liquids to the rice cooker 2, respectively.

  In this embodiment, an L-shaped array is shown, but it is possible to use a T-shaped array for three types of seasoning liquids, and the configuration and arrangement can be changed as appropriate according to different types of seasoning liquids. It is.
