Description

The present invention relates to a holder and a cooking device equipped with the holder.

A cooking device is known that cooks food such as meat and vegetables placed on a removable plate using a heat source located on top (Figure 13).

Also, the document known as JP 2011-139 A (Patent Document 1) describes a holder (lid stand 1) for propping up a hot plate lid. This document describes a holder that is raised upward from the legs and is formed with a lid propping section formed at the top and a tray attachment section formed at the bottom.

JP 2011-139 A

When storing such a cooking device, the diameter of the plate is larger than the depth of the cooking device body (the y-axis direction in FIG. 13), so the storage space becomes large. For this reason, it is possible to remove the plate from the body and store the body and plate separately, and it is possible to store the plate using a holder such as that in Patent Document 1. However, even if the body and plate are stored separately using a holder such as that in Patent Document 1, storage space for the cooking device body and storage space for the plate must be secured.

Therefore, one object of the present invention is to provide a holder capable of holding a plate to the cooking device body and a cooking device equipped with the holder.

The holder according to the present invention is a holder that holds a plate on an attachment part having a surface and a protrusion at the end of the surface, and has a first inclined surface, a second inclined surface, a bottom surface connecting the end of the first inclined surface and the end of the second inclined surface, a member between the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface, and a third inclined surface, holds the plate between the first inclined surface and the third inclined surface, and fixes the attachment part between the second inclined surface and the member.

The cooking device with the holder according to the present invention is a cooking device that cooks food by placing a plate on the upper surface of a base and has an attachment part with a protrusion on the edge of the base and a holder that holds the plate on the attachment part, and the holder has a first inclined surface that slopes from the vertical direction, a second inclined surface that slopes from the vertical direction, a bottom surface that connects the end of the first inclined surface and the end of the second inclined surface, a member between the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface, and a third inclined surface that slopes vertically, holds the plate between the first inclined surface and the third inclined surface, and fixes the attachment part between the second inclined surface and the member.

The holder attached to a cooker having a plate according to the present invention has an inclined groove into which the plate is inserted, and a member attached to the cooker above the bottom surface of the inclined groove, and the inclined groove is inclined toward the member.

According to one solution of the present invention, it is possible to provide a holder capable of holding a plate to a cooking device body and a cooking device equipped with the holder.

In the embodiments of the present invention, the description will be divided into multiple sections, etc., if necessary. In principle, they are not unrelated to each other, and one is a partial or complete modification, detail, etc., of the other. For this reason, in all drawings, components having the same function are given the same reference numerals, and repeated description will be omitted.

In addition, the number of components (including the number, numerical value, amount, range, etc.) is not limited to a specific number, and may be more or less than a specific number, unless otherwise specified or clearly limited in principle to a specific number. In addition, when referring to the shape of a component, etc., it includes things that are substantially similar or similar to that shape, etc., unless otherwise specified or clearly not considered in principle.

Below, a holder and a cooking device equipped with the holder according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the x-axis in the drawings indicates the width direction, the y-axis indicates the depth direction, and the z-axis indicates the height direction.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the cooking device, and Figure 2 is a diagram showing the storage state of the cooking device. The cooking device 10 is used to cook food such as meat or vegetables placed on a plate 20 using a heat source 15. The main body 11 of the cooking device 10 includes a base 12, a heat source 15 provided on the upper part of the base 12, and a support 16 that supports the heat source 15. In addition, a plate 20 is placed on the base 12 of the cooking device 10.

The cooking device 10 has an attachment portion 13 on the base 12. The attachment portion 13 is for attaching a holder 50, which will be described later. The attachment portion 13 also has a protrusion 14 on which the attached holder 50 can be hooked. In this embodiment, the protrusion 14 is provided around the entire edge of the base 12, but it may be provided only on the attachment portion 13 without being limited to this.

The cooking device 10 has a plate 20 on which food is placed. Hereinafter, the surface of the plate 20 on which food is placed is referred to as the front surface, and the surface on which food is not placed is referred to as the back surface. The plate 20 has a shaft (not shown) on the back surface. The shaft has a cylindrical hole that does not penetrate to the front surface, and the plate 20 is placed on the base 12 by inserting the shaft into a shaft hole (not shown) that supports the plate provided on the base 12. Therefore, the plate 20 can be removed and washed after using the cooking device 10.

The plate 20 is also inclined from the periphery toward the center to allow unwanted fluids, such as juices and oils from the cooked food, to flow away. The plate 20 also has multiple drain holes 21 spaced a certain distance from the center. The drain holes 21 are holes for discharging fluids that flow toward the center into the receiving tray 30, which will be described later.

The plate 20 is also provided with a ring 22, for example made of silicone, around its periphery. The ring 22 is intended to prevent the user's hands or arms from being burned when touching the edge of the plate 20, which becomes hot due to the heat generated by the heat source 15, when the user takes or places food on it. The ring 22 can also be removed from the plate 20, making it easy to wash and keep clean.

Figure 3 is a perspective view of the receiving tray 30, and Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of the receiving tray 30. The cooking device 10 is provided with the receiving tray 30 on the base 12. The receiving tray 30 receives the fluid discharged from the discharge hole 21 of the plate 20 and allows the fluid to flow into the container 40 described later. The receiving tray 30 has a receiving portion 33 that catches the discharged fluid. The receiving portion 33 is substantially circular and has a convex hole 31 that protrudes cylindrically in the center so as to surround the axis of the plate 20. The convex hole 31 is intended to prevent the axis of the plate from being soiled by the fluid discharged from the discharge hole 21. The receiving tray 30 also has a discharge portion 34 that discharges the fluid that it catches into the container 40 described later. The discharge portion 34 has a recessed hole 32 and is inclined so as to be recessed toward the recessed hole 32 so that the fluid can flow.

The cooking device 10 is provided with a container 40 on a base 12. The container 40 is provided so that it can be pulled out from the base 12. Therefore, the container 40 stores the fluid discharged from the tray 30, and after use, the container 40 can be pulled out and washed.

Figure 5 is a perspective view of the holder 50, Figure 6 is a plan view of the holder 50, Figure 7 is a side view of the holder 50, Figure 8 is a front view of the holder 50, Figure 9 is a bottom view of the holder 50, Figure 10 is a rear view of the holder 50, and Figure 11 is a cross-sectional end view of the holder 50. The holder 50 is used by attaching it to the mounting portion 13 of the base 12. The holder 50 has an inclined surface 73 on the front side and an inclined surface 64 on the rear side, with an inclined surface 72 provided between the inclined surfaces 73 and 64. The mounting fixture 50 also has a bottom 71 and a bottom 66. The inclined surfaces 73 and 72 are provided to rise from the bottom 71, and the inclined surface 64 is provided to rise from the bottom 66. In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, bottom 66 is provided at the upper end of inclined surface 72, so that bottom 66 is provided higher in the height direction (z-axis direction) than the position at which bottom 71 is provided.

The holder 50 has a plurality of members 61 and a plurality of slits 67. The members 61 are provided from the middle of the inclined surface 72 toward the z-axis direction, and the periphery of the members 61 is provided with slits 67. The slits 67 are intended to allow the members 61 to swing in the y-axis direction by surrounding the periphery of the members 61 with the slits 67. This makes it easier to attach the holder 50 to the attachment portion 13.

The member 61 is for fixing the holder 50 by sandwiching the mounting portion 13 of the base 12 between the member 61 and the inclined surface 64. The member 61 is also provided with a protrusion 62 at its end. This allows the protrusion 62 of the member 61 and the protruding portion 14 of the mounting portion 13 to function as stoppers for each other, and allows the holder 50 to be fixed to the mounting portion 13. More specifically, the distance 68 between the middle of the member 61 and the inclined surface 64 shown in FIG. 7 is set to be approximately equal to the thickness of the protruding portion 14 of the mounting portion 13. The distance 69 between the protrusion 62 of the member 61 and the inclined surface 64 shown in the same figure is set to be approximately equal to the thickness of the mounting portion 13. Therefore, the mounting portion 13 can be sandwiched and fixed between the member 61 and the inclined surface 64.

The holder 50 has a guide 63. The guide 63 is plate-shaped and is provided on the bottom 66 so as to be higher than the member 61 in the z-axis direction. As shown in FIG. 7, the distance 74 between the guide 63 and the inclined surface 64 is longer than the distance 69. This is to make it easier for the user to understand the position of the member 61 and therefore easier to fit in when the user attaches the holder 50 to the mounting part 13 by pressing the edge (projection 14) of the mounting part 13 against the guide 63. In addition, by providing the guide 63, the mounting part 13 comes into contact with the guide 63 before the member 61, so that damage to the member 61 can be prevented. In addition, the holder 50 fixes the mounting part 13 by sandwiching it between the member 61 and the inclined surface 64, but since the member 61 swings, there is a risk that the holder 50 will rotate around the projection 14 as an axis. Therefore, the distance (distance 74) between the inclined surface 64 and the guide 63 is set to be the same distance as the distance 68 or slightly longer. This allows the guide 63 to prevent the holder 50 from rotating.

The holder 50 has a holding portion 70 (also called an inclined groove 70). The holder 70 is composed of an inclined surface 73, an inclined surface 72, and a lower portion 71, and is for holding the plate 20. The distance 75 between the inclined surface 73 and the inclined surface 72 is set to be approximately the length of the thickness of the plate 20 so that the plate 20 can be easily inserted.

The inclined surfaces 72 and 64 of the holder 50 are inclined at a predetermined angle (angle 76) from the vertical direction so that the plate 20 can be leaned against (inclined) the main body 11 when the plate 20 is held. By inclining the center of gravity of the plate 20 toward the main body, the plate 20 is brought into contact with the main body 11, so that the heating cooker 10 does not take up space in the y-axis direction when stored. In addition, the angle 77 of the lower part 71 in the y-axis direction shown in FIG. 7 is also inclined at a predetermined angle (angle 77) from the horizontal direction so that the center of gravity of the plate 20 is inclined toward the main body. Furthermore, the bottom part 71 is curved downward in the z-axis direction according to the shape of the plate 20 (FIG. 11). Therefore, the curved lower part 71 prevents the circular plate 20 from rolling in the x-axis direction.

Here, the mounting portion 13 of the base 12 is inclined at a predetermined angle from the z-axis direction. Therefore, the inclined surface 64, member 61, and guide 63 are also inclined at a predetermined angle (only angle 78, which is the inclination angle of the inclined surface, is shown in FIG. 7). Therefore, when the holder 50 is attached to the mounting portion 13, the inclined surface 64 and member 61 fit into the mounting portion 13, so that the holder 50 can be fixed to the mounting portion 13. Also, if the mounting portion 13 of the base 12 is provided in the z-axis direction (not inclined), the inclined surface 64, member 61, and guide 63 are not inclined either.

The holder 50 has side portions 81. The side portions 81 are provided on both ends of the holder 50 in the x-axis direction and are intended to support the holder 50. More specifically, the holder 50 has a center of gravity on the rear side due to the inclined surfaces 73, 72, and 64. However, the side surfaces 81 prevent the holder 50 from falling over.

Next, the effect and action of storing the plate 20 using the holder 50 will be described. When attaching the holder 50 to the main body 11, the user tilts the main body 11 of the cooking device 10 in the y-axis direction. The holder 50 is placed on the lower part of the mounting part 13 of the tilted main body 11, and the tilt of the main body 11 is slowly corrected. At this time, the inclined surface 64 of the holder 50, the member 61, and the guide 63 are provided at a predetermined angle of inclination (angle 78), so that the holder 50 can be easily attached to the mounting part 13. In addition, the guide 63 serves as a guide for the position where the mounting part 13 is fitted between the member 61 and the inclined surface 64, and the user can easily fit the mounting part 13 between the member 61 and the inclined surface 64. Furthermore, since the member 61 swings in the y-axis direction, when the mounting part 13 is fitted between the member 61 and the inclined surface 64, the member 61 bends toward the inclined surface 72, and when the protrusion 14 is fitted up to the bottom 66, the member 61 returns to its original shape. This fixes the holder 50 to the mounting portion 13.

When the cooking appliance 10 is tilted and the holder 50 is attached to the mounting portion 13, the guide 63 prevents the holder 50 from rotating. More specifically, the mounting portion 13 is sandwiched and fixed between the member 61 and the inclined surface 64, but since the member 61 swings, there is a risk that the holder 50 will rotate around the protrusion 14 of the mounting portion 13 as an axis. However, the guide 63 is provided higher in the z-axis direction than the member 61, and is provided at a distance 74, thereby preventing the holder 50 from rotating.

Next, the user leans the plate 20 against the holder 50 to store it. Specifically, the plate 20 is placed in the inclined groove 70 so that the back surface faces the main body. At this time, the inclined groove 70 (inclined surfaces 73, 72, bottom 71) is inclined at a predetermined angle (angle 76, angle 77), so the center of gravity of the plate 20 is inclined toward the main body 11. In addition, the bottom 71 is curved, so that the plate 20 is prevented from rolling. Therefore, the plate 20 is held by the fixture 50, and the plate 20 can be easily stored in the cooking device 10. In addition, by inclining the center of gravity of the plate 20 toward the main body 11, the plate 20 can be stored along the main body. In other words, when the plate 20 is held by the holder 50, the cooking device 10 becomes slimmer in the depth direction compared to when the plate 20 is placed on the base 12, so it does not take up much storage space.

Figure 12 is a plan view of a holder 50A according to another embodiment. In this embodiment, the description will be given assuming that the mounting portion 13A has a curved surface. The holder 50A has an inclined surface 64A and a guide 63A. The inclined surface 64A and the member 61A are curved so that the mounting portion 13A, which has a curved shape, fits between the member 61A and the inclined surface 64A. The guide 63A is also curved so as to fit along the mounting portion 13A. In this way, the holder 50A can be fixed to the mounting portion 13A by modifying the shapes of the inclined surface 64A, the member 61A, and the guide 63A according to the shape of the mounting portion 13A (for example, a shape having a curved surface or corners).

In addition, the holders 50 and 50A in the above embodiment have been described as a plate 20 for placing food on. However, without being limited to this, the holders 50 and 50A may also be used to hold, for example, the lid of an electric pot.

In addition, although the mounting portion 13 has been described as having a protrusion 14, this is not essential, and the mounting portion 13 may have, for example, a recess or a hole into which the protrusions 63, 63A of the retainer 50 fit.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the shape and configuration can be modified without departing from the spirit of the invention.
