Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To develop a measuring instrument that can measure the amount of water in foreign rice very easily and easily. [Structure] The amount of water corresponding to the mixing ratio of a mixture of two or more types of rice in the container 1 is provided in order from the bottom of the container, and a fulcrum corresponding to the above scale is provided at the bottom of the container.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a water meter, which is the most suitable water meter for measuring the water quantity of two or more types of rice.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, when cooking rice with domestic rice, when using a rice cooker, the amount of water is measured by the scale of the inner pot of the rice cooker, and in the case of rice cookers with no scale, other pots, pots, etc. Weighing. And in each case, the scale is scaled horizontally.

Recently, the use of foreign rice has increased, but the amount of water is different between domestic rice and foreign rice even if the same amount of rice is used, and the measurement of the water is complicated. When mixed with rice, it is very difficult and complicated.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The problem to be solved by the present invention is to develop a measuring instrument that solves the above-mentioned complications and difficulties and that can measure the amount of water in foreign rice very easily and easily.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The amount of water corresponding to the mixing ratio of the mixture of two or more kinds of rice in the container 1 is provided in order from the bottom of the container, and the fulcrum corresponding to the above scale is provided at the bottom of the container. This can be solved by providing a water outlet corresponding to the scale on a part of the side wall.

[0006]

[Function of the device]

 The measuring device of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1 showing an example thereof. Inside the container 1, a mixture of two kinds of rice, for example, a quantity of water corresponding to a mixing ratio of a mixture of foreign rice and domestic rice is provided. Scales are provided in order from the bottom, for example, 0%, 10%, 20% .... It is preferable to set a plurality of scales such as 2,3,4 ... depending on the foreign rice such as Thai rice, Chinese rice, California rice ...

In the measuring instrument of the present invention, it is preferable to provide the water discharge ports 5, 6, 7 ... In correspondence with each of the scales on a part of the side wall thereof, and further, at the bottom of the measuring instrument. Support points 8, 9, 10, ... Corresponding to the water outlet are provided.

A more detailed description is as follows. In Fig. 1, assuming that the scale when using certain foreign rice, such as Thai rice, is 2, if you try to cook mixed rice with 20% foreign rice and 80% domestic rice, the mixed rice is weighed. Put it in a container, add a little more water, tilt the measuring instrument with the fulcrum 10 corresponding to the 20% scale as the fulcrum, and tilt it until the water surface 11 is at the 20% scale. Excess water is discharged from the drainage port 7 provided correspondingly, and a predetermined water level is obtained at a place where the water surface is horizontal.

That is, the predetermined amount of water is obtained by inclining the measuring device with the fulcrum 10 as a reference and discharging the water from the drain port until the horizontal surface reaches the 20% scale.

At this time, not only in the case of one type of foreign rice, but also in the case of other foreign rice, if the scales 3, 4 ... You can measure like

At this time, it is convenient to set the fulcrum on an appropriate supporting base, but it is needless to say that the fulcrum may be lifted and the measuring device may be tilted without being necessarily set on the supporting base.

The weighing device of the present invention may be used as it is as an inner pot of a rice cooker, or may be used as a weighing device separately from a rice cooker. In this case, the mixed rice and water weighed by the weighing machine are transferred from the weighing machine to the rice cooker.

The material of the measuring device is not particularly limited and may be made of various metals or plastics. The bottom to be provided with the fulcrum may be polygonal, but circular is preferable.

The number of drainage ports does not necessarily have to be 8, 9, 10 ...

In the present invention, the case of mixed rice of mixed rice, in particular foreign rice and domestic rice, was explained as an example, but other cereals such as wheat, barley, millet, bran, glutinous rice and non-glutinous rice etc. It can also be effectively used in the case of mixing various kinds of components.

【Example】

 An embodiment will be described below with reference to FIG. A ball type measuring instrument (plastic) with a top diameter of 22 cm, a bottom diameter of 11 cm, a thickness of 0.2 cm, and a height of 11 cm is filled with a predetermined amount of water corresponding to the mixing ratio of foreign rice A and domestic rice. %, 10%, 20% ...

Similarly, for foreign rice B and C, scales 3 and 4 are similarly provided. On the other hand, water outlets 5, 6, and 7 corresponding to the scales 2, 3, and 4 were provided at three places on the side wall of the measuring instrument. In addition, three fulcrums 8, 9, 10 corresponding to these scales and the water outlet were provided on the bottom.

[0018]

【effect】

 The amount of water can be easily measured simply by tilting it, which is extremely convenient especially for cooking rice blended with foreign rice and domestic rice.
