Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a cooker such as a rice cooker, and to a wire winding mechanism for a power wire and a mounting structure for a control unit.

(Prior Art) A conventional cooker such as a rice cooker is equipped with a cylindrical sotowak 20 that forms an outer shell of the main body as shown in FIG.
The wire winding mechanism 19 was attached to the bottom 20a that closes the bottom opening of 20. Further, the control unit 23 was attached so as to be housed inside the main body covered with the bottom 20a. In such a conventional configuration, the Sotowak 20 and the control unit 23 are attached to the main body, and after performing the internal wiring of the main body including the wiring between the wire winding mechanism 19 attached to the bottom 20a and the control unit 23, the bottom 20a is attached. It was attached.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) In such a conventional configuration, the main body and the bottom are separated when the wire winding mechanism and the control part are wired and the main body is internally wired. The wiring will straddle the mechanism. This wiring may be short when the bottom is attached to the main body, but if it is short, the bottom interferes and the internal wiring work cannot be performed, so it was necessary to lengthen it to some extent. However, if the length is too long, there is a problem in that the wiring may be caught between the main body and the bottom when it is attached, or the wiring may move freely inside the main body, possibly touching a moving part or a high temperature part. In the conventional configuration, it is difficult to set the wiring length that satisfies both, and both problems are involved. There is also a problem that the wiring becomes longer than originally required and the cost becomes high.

In addition, wiring from various electrical parts that are attached during the body assembly process cannot be bound until the wiring of the bottom wire winding mechanism is finally connected, and the loose wiring interferes with the assembly. It was difficult to do the work. There was also the problem that the wires had to be bound together with the sotowak attached and the bottom half covered, which required assembly time and increased costs.

(Means for Solving the Problem) The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and the case is attached to the components on the main body side, not the bottom, and the wire winding mechanism and the control unit are attached to the case. The bottom was attached after the wiring binding work was completed.
A power plug outlet is provided on the bottom so that all of the wire winding mechanism or the power plug can be exposed to the outside after the bottom is attached.

In the above description of the configuration of the present invention, the configuration including the bottom has been described in comparison with the conventional example, but in the configuration of the present invention, it is not necessary to divide the bottom and the sotowak, so the bottom can be integrated with the sotowak and is unnecessary. . When integrated with the conventional configuration, the wire winding mechanism is attached to the bottom of the deep cylindrical sotowak.
If the wiring is not made considerably long, it cannot be connected to the main body side, and the problem described in the above-mentioned conventional problem becomes more remarkable.

(Operation) With the above configuration, the wire winding mechanism and the control unit are attached to the case, and in this state, the wire winding mechanism and the control unit are connected to each other by wiring, and in the body assembly process,
This unit may be attached to the main body. Also, every time other electrical parts are attached, wiring can be done with the control unit immediately. Finally, the assembly is completed by covering the bottom with the sotowak. Therefore, the length of each wire can be set to the shortest distance to connect each electric component, and there is no problem of pinching the wire or touching a high temperature part. At the same time, the sotowak and bottom can be integrated with short wiring, and the unitization makes it easy to assemble, so that it can be constructed at low cost and the consumer can be provided with an inexpensive cooker.
