BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a rice bin for metering and discharging stored rice.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, rice bins that store rice and meter and discharge a predetermined amount when necessary are used daily. Conventionally,
This type of rice bin is provided with an opening facing the rice storage room at the front of the rice bin body, and a front plate on which a rice door is rotatably set is attached to this opening to form a rice inlet. ing. In such a rice bin, the front plate is attached by screws or the like.
In the rice bin disclosed in JP-A-104742, the screw is fixed at the front surface of the front panel, so that the presence of the screw impairs the appearance of the rice bin. In view of this, as shown in FIG. 5, the front plate A is attached by screwing a mounting piece B integrally formed on the upper end of the front plate A. According to this rice bin, when the rice door C is closed, there is no problem that the screw becomes invisible and the appearance is lost.

[0003]

However, since the screw D for fixing the front plate A is screwed in the horizontal direction, it is impossible to mount the front door A with the rice door C set. . Therefore, the front panel A and the rice door C must be separately mounted. Then, after attaching the front plate A, the rice door C must be set, which is a troublesome operation. In addition, removal becomes troublesome, and cleaning the inside of the rice bin becomes extremely troublesome and troublesome. The present invention addresses such a problem and facilitates the attachment and detachment of a front plate holding a rice door rotatably without deteriorating the appearance of a rice bin.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a rice door which is provided with a front plate having a rice door rotatably mounted on an upper portion thereof facing an rice storage room. In a rice bin which is used as a rice input port to the rice storage room by opening the rice, a mounting piece for attaching the front plate to the opening using a fixing means such as a screw is attached when the rice door is closed. A rice bin provided at the upper end of the front plate so as to be located behind the door and having an axial direction equal to or smaller than the opening angle of the rice door. is there.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of a storage shelf for storing rice bins according to the present invention. Reference numeral 1 denotes a storage shelf main body, in which a rice bin portion 2 and a storage portion 3 are formed. FIG. 2 is a side sectional view of the rice bin 2, and FIG. 3 is an enlarged perspective view of a part of the rice bin 2. The rice bin 2 includes a rice storage room 4 and a rice measuring unit 8 inside. A rice door 5 is provided in the opening 4a facing the rice storage room 4.
A front plate 6 is attached, and a rice inlet 7 to the rice storage chamber 4 is formed by a rice door 5 that covers and rotates the opening 4a. A weighing lever 9 is provided on the front surface of the rice weighing unit 8 and a weighing unit front plate 10 is mounted.
When the measuring lever 9 is pressed, a predetermined amount of rice is metered and discharged into a rice take-out container 11 arranged below the rice measuring unit 8. 1
Reference numeral 2 denotes a drawer provided on the upper part of the rice door 5.

[0006] The storage part 3 is provided on the side of the rice bin part 2,
It is vertically divided by the middle shelf 13. The middle shelf 13 has a mechanism that slides back and forth, and is used by placing a rice cooker or the like.
In addition, a storage room 14 having a storage shelf therein is provided below the middle shelf 13 and an opening / closing door 14 is attached to the front surface.
Reference numeral 15 denotes a mounting plate such as a microwave oven that also serves as a top plate of the rice bin 2 and the storage unit 3.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory view showing the attachment of the rice door 5 and the front plate 6 from the side. At the left and right ends of the back surface of the U.S. door 5, fan-shaped guides 16 are vertically provided. At the upper end of the guide body 16, a stopper convex portion 17 for restricting the rice door 5 from falling forward is provided, and at the lower end, a shaft hole 1 is provided.
A rotating rib 19 having an inner surface 8 is formed, and is rotatably connected to a bearing formed on the back surface of the front plate 5 via a rotating shaft 20. Thus, the rice door 5 is rotatable with respect to the front plate 6, and is restricted by the stopper projection 17, so that the rice door 5 is opened by α ° and the rice inlet 7 is formed.

The front plate 6 is provided with a viewing window 21 on the front so that the remaining amount of rice in the rice storage chamber 4 can be visually checked, and a substantially inverted L-shaped hook 26 is integrally formed at the lower portion. At the upper part of the front plate 5, mounting pieces 22 having screw holes 22a are provided to project from both left and right ends. This mounting piece 22
Is obliquely formed so that the screwing direction of the screw 23 is the same or obtuse as the opening angle of the rice door 5, that is, α °. A pedestal 25 is attached to the side pillar 24 of the rice bin 2 forming the opening 4a. The pedestal 25 and the mounting piece 22 appear when the U.S. door 5 is opened, and are invisible in the closed state.

Next, a method of attaching the front plate 6 in which the rice door 5 is rotatably connected via the rotary shaft 20 will be described. A concave portion 27 is formed in the upper portion of the weighing unit front plate 9.
And fixed. Next, the attachment piece 22 is attached to the pedestal 25 using the screw 23. At this time, when the rice door 5 is opened, the screw 23 can be easily screwed, so that it is easy to attach and remove, let alone mounting.

Therefore, according to the above embodiment, the front door 6 can be easily attached and detached, and the rice door 5 forming the rice inlet 7
The front plate 6 and the front plate 6 are integrated via the rotation shaft 20, so that the relatively large opening 4 is formed by removing the front plate 6.
a is obtained, and the structure inside the rice storage room 4 is easily cleaned. In addition, since the mounting piece 22 and the pedestal 25 are completely hidden when the U.S. door 5 is closed, the appearance is not impaired.

[0011]

As described above, the present invention is configured as described above. The front plate having the rice door rotatably mounted thereon is mounted on the opening facing the rice storage room, and the rice door is opened to open the rice storage. In a rice bin serving as a rice input port into a room, a mounting piece for mounting the front plate to the opening using fixing means such as a screw is provided so that the mounting piece comes to the rear of the rice door when the rice door is closed. Since it is provided at the upper end of the front plate and its axial direction is the same as the opening angle of the U.S. door or an obtuse angle than the opening angle, the front plate with the door set thereon can be easily attached and detached. The labor required to clean the rice storage room is reduced. In addition, since the mounting portion of the front plate is hidden with the door closed, the problem of impairing the appearance is solved.
