BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automatic rice cooker.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various proposals regarding an automatic rice cooker have been made, and for example, there are techniques disclosed in JP-A-61-206411 and JP-A-62-26031.

[0003]

Any of the above-mentioned publications discloses a rice storage unit for storing rice, a measuring unit for measuring and discharging rice in the rice storage unit, and a rice discharging unit for discharging rice from the measuring unit. And a rice-cooking unit for cooking rice discharged from the rice-washing unit were arranged vertically in the box body. For this reason, the box main body becomes bulky and, for example, it is difficult to put it in a system kitchen.

[0004] On the other hand, in recent rice distribution, there is a tendency that weighed and polished rice is sold in a so-called bag-packed manner. There is a demand for an automatic rice cooker which can cook rice in a bag alone and is intended for such bagged rice. The present invention
In view of such a situation, an object of the present invention is to provide an automatic rice cooker intended for bagged rice and capable of placing the whole apparatus compactly in the vertical direction and placing it in a system kitchen or the like.

[0005]

According to the present invention, a box body 1 is provided.
In the automatic rice cooker having the rice cooker 3 which can be freely inserted and removed, the following technical measures are taken in order to achieve the above-mentioned object. That is, the present invention is, crests in the front side against the rice is and Research rice with already weighed on the top of the box body 1 in cooker 3
The provided hopper 5 to be introduced to form a 7A, KenYone
Water that has been adjusted to break this mountain against mountain 7A
Is provided from the one side to the other side .

[0006]

According to the present invention, the bagged rice 7 is put into the rice cooker 3 via the hopper 5 so as to form a mountain portion 7A at the front side of the rice cooker 3 , and the water is added or subtracted according to the amount of the bagged rice 7. After the water is supplied by the water supply means 8, the process proceeds to the rice cooking process. Water supply means
When water is supplied at 8, the water is supplied so as to break the mountain 7A
In the rice cooker 3, the rice is leveled, and as a result, rice is cooked
There is no unevenness.

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1 showing the overall structure and FIG. 2 showing a plan view of a lid closing means, a box body 1 has an upper surface 1A and a lower surface 1A. 1B,
It has a box shape with a space inside consisting of a front part 1C, a back part 1D, and left and right side parts 1E.The front part 1C has an inspection part 2, and the following of the inspection part 2 is an entrance of the rice cooker 3. 2A. Inspection unit 2 can be opened and closed freely (Kannon open, sliding door open, etc.)
With a door.

[0008] The rice cooker 3 is placed on a cart 4 to
It can freely enter and exit the box body 1 through 2A, and
The inside has a removable inner pot 3B, the outer pot 3A is a gas or electric rice cooker with a lid 3D that can be opened and closed with a pin 3C as a fulcrum, and the lid 3D is a vine spring with a pin 3C etc. , And can be kept in the closed position by the notch 3E.

A hopper 5 having a funnel shape is provided at the upper part of the box body 1, and a discharge port of the hopper 5 has a guide 6, and the weighed and ground rice-filled bag is provided. The rice 7 is guided into the inner pot 3B, and the upper opening of the hopper 5 is closed by a sliding and detachable top plate 5A. The lid 3D of the rice cooker 3 is in the position shown in FIG.
In (A), bagged rice 7 can be put into inner pot 3B, and after the rice is put in, water adjusted according to the amount of rice can be supplied from water supply means 8, and water supply means 8 supplies water. The sensor 9 includes an on-off valve 10, a water sprinkling section 11, and the like, and is provided near the inspection section 2.

In this case, since the rice put into the inner pot 3B is high near the discharge port of the hopper 5 as shown by reference numeral 7A in FIG. It is designed to be leveled horizontally. Lid 3D is lid closing means
The lid closing means 12 is provided at the back (rear side) 1 of the box main body 1.

In FIG. 1 and FIG.
A pair of left and right arms 14 whose bases are supported on the back plate side of the box body 1 by pins 13 so as to be movable up and down, and two support rods 15A and 15B spanned over the upper side of the arm 14. The lifting motor 16 mounted on the box body back plate side slightly higher than the rice cooker 1, the arm 18 mounted on the shaft 17 of the motor 16 and the first support rod 15A are connected. A support rod 19 having a backlash absorbing function, a pressing claw 20 at the front end, and a guide portion 21 indicated by a guide roller at the rear end for guiding the lid 3D in a half-open state and fully opening the first are provided.
Opening / closing arm 22 swingably supported by support bar 15A
And a pull-in motor 23 supported by the first and second support rods 15A and 15B, and a disk 25 mounted on a shaft 24 of the motor 23 and an intermediate portion of the opening / closing arm 22. A retracting arm 26 is provided. The disk 27 of the elevating motor 16 is provided with a rotation sensor 28, and the disk 25 is also provided with a rotation sensor 29.

The operation of the rice cooker 3 will now be described. When the rice cooker 3 is set in the box main body 1, the lid 3D is in a closed state, so that the lid 3D accepts the polished rice in the box main body 1. It is necessary to open and close inside the box body 1 for cooking and cooking rice. The opening and closing of the lid 3D is performed by the operations shown in FIGS. When the rice cooker 3 is set on the trolley 4 and stored in the box main body 1, it is located on the front side of the box main body 1, so that the rice cooker 3 is moved to the back of the box main body 1, Wait within.

When the elevating motor 16 is started in the waiting position, the arm 14 is moved through the swing of the support rod 19 as shown in FIG.
In the direction of arrow F of FIG.
When the notch 3E is pushed in the direction of arrow G shown in FIG. 6 by the holding claw 20, the notch 3E is disengaged, and the lid 3D is
The lid 3D is opened in the direction indicated by the arrow H in FIG.

After the opening of the lid 3D is confirmed by the sensor, the rice cooker 3 is advanced, and the lid 3D is subjected to the elastic force of the vine-wound spring, and is guided by the guide portion 21 to be erected as shown in FIG. To enter below the rice discharge area with the lid open. On the other hand, the opening / closing arm 22 is activated by the motor 23 and the action of the retracting arm 26 as shown in FIG.
As shown by, it is expected that the lid 3D will stand upright.

[0015] the state shown in FIG. 1, 5, i.e., the front side
When the measured rice is put into the inner pot 3B so as to form the mountain portion 7A, and predetermined water is supplied by the water supply means 8 ,
Mountain part 7A is supplied water from one side to the other side to break this.
It is averaged. When the rice cooker 3 that has received the rice moves in the direction of arrow 1 in FIG. 5 with the lid 3D open due to the movement of the cart 4, the rice cooker 3 tilts to the lid closed state due to collision with the guide portion 21 or the like,
In response to the operation of the retracting arm 26, the lid 3D is fully opened, enters the lower part of the hopper 5 with the notch 3E maintaining the fully open state, and shifts to the rice cooking process.

[0016]

[Effect of devised the present invention is as described above, by using a metering already Institute rice, instead of the required rice washing unit, may be Osameri to the system kitchens and can be lowered up and down the bulk to the box body.
The rice to be put in from the hopper is piled up on the front side (front side).
Because it is inserted so as to form a part,
Can be confirmed whether or not they have
Even so, the mountains are broken by the water supply from the water supply means,
Because it is leveled, uneven rice cooking can be eliminated
You.
