Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bread maker that allows freshly baked bread to be prepared simply by charging predetermined bread ingredients.

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional bread maker of this type generally has a configuration as shown in FIG. Hereinafter, the configuration will be described with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 4, 1 is a chassis, 2 is an upper body, 3 is a lower body, 4 is a firing chamber, 5 is a motor, and a firing chamber 4 and a motor 5 are mounted on the chassis 1. A detachable bread container 7 having blades 6, a heater 8, and a temperature detector 9 for detecting the temperature of the bread container 7 are provided. Reference numeral 10 denotes a lid for opening and closing the upper end opening of the baking chamber 4, and reference numeral 11 controls energization of the motor 5 and the heater 8 based on the temperature information detected by the temperature detection unit 9, and performs kneading, aging, fermentation, and the like.
It is an operation member that has a built-in control device for controlling each step of baking, and sets baking time, starts cooking, and the like. 12
Is a capacitor mounted on the upper surface of the chassis 1 for driving the motor 5, 13 is a belt for transmitting the rotational force of the motor 5 to the root blades 6, 14 is a power cord, and 15 is a cord box for accommodating the power cord 14.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the above-mentioned conventional bread making machine, the control device is attached to the operation member 11 and is arranged inside the upper body 2, but the inside of the upper body 2 and the lower body 3 has a temperature during operation. Since the baking chamber 4, the motor 5, the heater 8, and the like, which increase the temperature, are provided, heat is transmitted from these, and the temperature rise of the control device is accelerated due to self-heating. As a result, abnormalities such as an inaccurate and unclear LCD display that indicates the operating status, and the inability of the cold cap to function as a backup function during a power outage to occur in the control device, and the configuration of the control device There is a danger that fire or smoke may be generated from the electronic components that emit, causing danger such as fire or burns. In addition, since the upper body 2 and the lower body 3 are formed in a substantially rectangular frame shape and have low horizontal rigidity, the main body 2 and the lower body 3 are easily affected by a drop impact. There is a problem that the shape is deformed into a quadrilateral shape. further,
Since accessories such as measuring spoons for measuring bread ingredients cannot be stored in the main body, it is troublesome to search for the measuring spoon when using it, and it is easy to lose it.There is also a problem that accessories can be stored. However, there is a problem that the number of parts increases and the cost increases.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves such a problem and, without increasing the cost, aims to prevent the temperature rise of the control device and improve the strength of the main body, and also allows the storage of accessories so that safety, durability and usability can be achieved. The aim is to improve.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, a bread maker of the present invention comprises:
On the upper surface of the main body which is opened and closed by the lid, a storage portion for storing accessories such as a measuring spoon for measuring bread material, which is formed in a concave shape, is provided so as to protrude toward the inner surface side of the upper surface of the main body, and the position is provided with a heater. It is arranged between the firing chamber and the control device.

Further, according to the present invention, a heat-insulating rib interposed between the firing chamber and the control device for blocking heat generated from the firing chamber is provided below the inner surface of the upper surface of the main body opened and closed by the lid, and the heat-insulating rib is provided. An accommodating portion for accommodating accessories such as a measuring spoon for measuring a bread material, which is formed in a concave shape, is provided at an upper portion of the base body.

The present invention has the above-described configuration, and the storage portion formed in a concave shape separates the control unit from the baking chamber and the heater, which are high in temperature, and cuts off the heat generated by the storage unit. When the concave storage portion is provided on the upper surface of the main body, the rigidity of the upper surface of the main body is increased and the rigidity of the main body in the horizontal direction is also increased, so that the strength of the main body against impacts such as dropping can be improved, Further, it is possible to store accessories without increasing the number of parts and costs.

In addition, the heat insulating rib separates the baking chamber and the heater where the temperature is high from the control device, and a storage section having a space is provided above the inside of the main body where hot air is likely to be trapped, that is, at the root of the heat insulating rib. Since it has the same shape as having a plurality of heat shielding ribs having an air layer between them, the cutoff of heat generated from the firing chamber and the like is further strengthened, and the temperature rise of the forcing device can be further prevented, As described above, it is possible to improve the strength of the main body and to store accessories and the like.
