[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electric cooker such as a fish grill.

[0002] Generally, in this type of electric cooker, an object to be cooked such as a fish is placed inside the electric cooker to heat and cook, so that smoke or odor during cooking is not released to the outside. It is desirable that the inside be easily contaminated with smoke or oil, so that it can be easily cleaned.

[0003]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as an electric cooker of this type, a main body and a lid are mounted on a hinge so as to be openable and closable, a heater is provided inside the main body, and a grill such as a fish is mounted on a grill mounted in the main body. 2. Description of the Related Art There is known an apparatus in which a cooking object is placed and hermetically sealed with a lid, and the heater is energized to heat the object to be cooked.

As one example, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 61-67634.
Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication (Kokai) No. H10-264, pp. 157-334 is known. In this device, a main container is placed on a base, and a heater attached to the back of the base is inserted into the main container through an elongated hole on the back of the main container, and the main container is pulled forward. As a result, the heater passes through the long hole, and the main container can be removed and cleaned.

Another structure is disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 59-49.
No. 005 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 49-31980, a type in which heating is performed only from the top only by a heater provided on a lid is also known.

[0006]

In this type of electric cooker, it is preferable that the object to be cooked is uniformly heated from above and below and burned at once.

Further, since the heating time varies depending on the type and size of the object to be cooked, it is desired to control the energizing time to the heater by using a timer.

In the above-mentioned conventional electric cooker,
In Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 9-49005 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 49-31980, the object to be cooked is heated only from above, and the object to be cooked is turned upside down in order to bake the whole evenly. It is necessary and not preferred.

Japanese Unexamined Utility Model Publication No. 61-67634 discloses a type in which the object to be cooked is simultaneously heated from the upper and lower sides, and is uniformly heated over the whole.
More preferable cooking can be performed.

However, in this structure, it is difficult to install a timer for controlling the time for energizing the heater.

The timer is preferably provided in the center of the front of the main container in view of its function. However, if the timer is mounted at such a position, the cord connected to the timer is exposed inside the main container. The cord may be burned by the heat of the heater or short-circuited by water or oil.

Although such a problem can be avoided by attaching the timer to the handle portion of the base, the usability of the timer is reduced.

The heater needs to be bent into a wide shape in order to uniformly heat the object to be cooked over a wide range. In order to attach and detach the main body container from the base, the heater passes through the wide heater. For this purpose, the length of the long hole must be sufficiently long, and smoke or odor may leak from the long hole.

In the publication disclosed in the above publication, this slot is closed by a closing plate at the time of use, but it is difficult to reliably close a large slot.
Smoke and odor leak from a slight distortion.

In the device described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 59-49005, a water receiving container is accommodated in a main container, and a timer is attached to the front of the main container.
If a heater can be provided in the water receiving container in this structure, the object to be heated can be uniformly heated from above and below, and the cord of the timer can pass through the gap between the main container and the water receiving container. As a result, there is no danger of burning or short-circuiting, and an excellent electric cooker is obtained.

However, when a heater is provided in the water receiving container with this structure, the heater is obstructed when the water receiving container is removed upward for cleaning, and the main container is obstructed when the water receiving container is removed forward. Therefore, it is not possible to remove only the water receiving container for cleaning.

It is possible to integrally pull out the main body container and the water receiving container by pulling it forward by a structure as shown in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 61-67634. Must be provided in the heater circuit, and the mechanism becomes extremely complicated.

Therefore, in the structure of Japanese Patent Publication No. 59-49005, it is extremely difficult to provide a heater in the water receiving container. In this structure, cooking must be performed only by the upper heater. There was no.

As described above, various types of electric cookers have been conventionally proposed. However, it is difficult to attach a timer in a type in which a timer is heated from above and below. Had to take the form of cooking only by heating from the top.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has a novel electric cooker of a type in which an object to be cooked is heated from above and below, and a timer is provided at the center of the front surface. It is intended to provide.

[0021]

According to the present invention, there is provided a box-shaped main body container having an open top, a water receiving container removably housed in the main body, having an open top, A lid attached to the upper part of the water receiving container so as to be openable and closable via a hinge, a heater plug provided on the back of the main body container, and a hole provided in the water receiving container and perforated on a wall surface of the water receiving container. A main body heater that is detachably attached to the heater plug through the formed through hole, and a lid heater disposed in the lid body, wherein the main body heater and a timer that controls energization to the lid heater are provided in the main body. It is provided on the front surface of the container.
