Description

  The present invention relates to a temperature adjustment cooking container and a cooking container holder.

  Conventionally, there are pans, kettles, frying pans and the like as cooking containers, and gas utensils, electric heating utensils, electromagnetic cooking utensils and the like as heating cookers (heating heat sources). In recent years, gas utensils and electromagnetic cooking utensils that have a temperature sensor and can automatically adjust the strength of a heat source during heating have been developed. For example, there is a gas appliance equipped with a temperature sensor that comes into direct contact with the bottom of the pan by the expansion and contraction of a spring. In addition, there are electromagnetic cooking utensils that indirectly measure the temperature of the cooking container by measuring the temperature of the top plate or measure the temperature of the pan bottom with infrared rays.

  Moreover, as described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, a technique for preventing excessive heating has been developed by adjusting components constituting the cooking container. Moreover, as described in Patent Document 3, there is a technique for issuing a warning by measuring the temperature in the pan.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 04-220988 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 04-242093 JP 2006-87890 A

  However, in the above technique, it is difficult to accurately measure the temperature of the cooking container, so that there is a problem that cooking of the dish and empty cooking of the pan cannot be prevented.

  Moreover, since the said technique cannot adjust the intensity | strength of a heat source at an appropriate timing, it cannot finish cooking well. That is, the above-described conventional techniques are not suitable for cooking that requires repeated monitoring such as cooking rice, baking pizza, paella, and fish. For example, if you cook rice in a pot of pottery or porcelain, you can cook delicious rice in a shorter time than an electric rice cooker, but the timing to stop the fire is manual. In addition, the current gas appliance (gas stove) has a function to stop the gas after the water is burnt out, such as when cooking, but with such a function, even if safety can be ensured, it will burn There is a problem that it becomes impossible to eat.

  Then, this invention aims at provision of the temperature control cooking container which can finish cooking appropriately by combining with the function of a heating cooker.

  In order to solve the above problems, a temperature-controlled cooking container according to the present invention includes a container body having a heat receiving bottom surface, and a shape that moves the container body in a direction away from the heat source when a predetermined temperature is reached. A temperature adjustment mechanism.

  According to the temperature adjustment cooking container which concerns on this invention, cooking can be finished appropriately by combining with the function of a heating cooker. In addition, inadvertent heating damage of the instrument and unnecessary waste of energy during heating can be prevented, and there is an advantage of being environmentally friendly.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

<First embodiment>
Fig.1 (a) is a side view of the temperature control cooking container 10 which concerns on 1st embodiment of this invention. The temperature adjustment cooking container 10 includes a container main body 11 and a temperature adjustment mechanism 12. The container body 11 has a heat receiving bottom surface 14 that is heated by the action from the heating cooker 13. The food is cooked in the container body 11 by the heat transmitted from the heated heat receiving bottom surface 14.

  In the following description, the cooking device 13 will be described on the assumption that the cooking device 13 is an electromagnetic cooking device using induction heating (IH) technology that is induction heating. However, for example, a gas cooking device (for example, a gas stove) may be used.

  FIG. 1C is a bottom view of the temperature adjustment cooking container 10 to which the temperature adjustment mechanism 12 is attached. A cross-shaped groove is formed on the heat-receiving bottom surface 14 of the temperature-adjusting cooking container 10, and a cross-shaped temperature adjusting mechanism 12 is attached so as to be accommodated in the groove.

  The temperature adjustment mechanism 12 is formed by cutting out a thin (about several millimeters) metal plate material in which a plurality of metal plates having different thermal expansion coefficients, ie, bimetals, are bonded together into a cross shape. Note that the shape of the temperature adjustment mechanism 12 is not limited to the cross shape, and may be cut out into a rectangular shape. Moreover, it is comprised only by one piece and may be attached to the position which lifts the bottom face of the one side of the temperature control cooking container 10. FIG.

  Further, a foot 15 for supporting the container body 11 is attached to each tip of the temperature adjustment mechanism 12. Moreover, the temperature adjustment mechanism 12 has a screw hole at the center, for example, and is detachably fixed to the heat receiving bottom surface 14 of the temperature adjustment cooking container 10 with a screw 16.

  The temperature adjustment mechanism 12 is attached to the temperature adjustment cooking container 10 in consideration of the shrinkage characteristics of the bimetal. Since the bimetal has a contraction characteristic that one surface contracts at a predetermined temperature (for example, 120 ° C.) and the other surface expands, the bimetal is attached so that the side contracting at the predetermined temperature faces the heat source.

  FIG.1 (b) is the figure which showed the state in which the temperature adjustment cooking container 10 was heated with the heat source, and the temperature adjustment mechanism 12 reached predetermined temperature. When the temperature adjustment mechanism 12 reaches a predetermined temperature, the temperature adjustment mechanism 12 contracts so that one side facing the heat source is warped. At this time, since the central portion of the temperature adjustment mechanism 12 is lifted in a direction substantially perpendicular to the heat source, the container body 11 moves in a direction away from the heat source.

  Thus, according to the temperature adjustment cooking container 10 which concerns on 1st embodiment of this invention, when the temperature adjustment mechanism 12 reaches predetermined temperature by heating, it moves to the direction away from a heat source automatically. In particular, when an electromagnetic cooking utensil is used as a heat source, the temperature adjustment mechanism 12 is activated, whereby the heat receiving bottom surface 14 of the temperature regulating cooking vessel 10 and the top plate of the electromagnetic cooking utensil do not come into contact with each other. If it does so, the stop function of induction heating of an electromagnetic cooking appliance will work, and temperature control cooking container 10 will not be heated. Moreover, the alarm function of an electromagnetic cooking appliance works and the alarm sound which notifies a user that the stop function of induction heating act | operated is output. As a result, it is possible to prevent scorching of cooking due to excessive heating and cooking without cooking.

  When a gas appliance (gas stove or the like) is used as the heat source, it is possible to automatically create a low heat heating state without adjusting the intensity of the fire.

  Thus, according to the temperature adjustment cooking container 10 which concerns on this embodiment, it can finish cooking appropriately by combining with the function of the heating cooker 13. FIG.

  The temperature adjusting mechanism 12 does not necessarily need to use a bimetal, and may use a shape memory alloy leaf spring whose shape is restored at a predetermined temperature. In addition, the shape memory alloy leaf spring whose shape has been changed (restored) at a predetermined temperature can be returned to a flat plate shape by pressing the pan in a cooled state (less than the predetermined temperature) downward. In addition, the shape memory alloy leaf spring may be removed from the temperature-controlled cooking container 10 that is screwed and flattened by applying force, and then attached to the heat-receiving bottom surface 14 of the temperature-adjusted cooking container 10 again. . Thus, since the shape memory alloy leaf spring is detachable, it is easy to clean the back surface of the leaf spring and the temperature adjusting cooking container. Moreover, the temperature of the temperature-adjusted cooking container 10 gradually decreases as it moves away from the heat source. Thereby, the warp of the bimetal gradually returns, and the heat receiving bottom surface 14 is heated again. By repeating such an operation, cooking such as scorching the food to be cooked may be automatically performed.

  Next, the temperature adjustment cooking container 20 which concerns on 2nd embodiment of this invention is demonstrated.

<Second embodiment>
Fig.2 (a) is sectional drawing of the temperature control cooking container 20 which concerns on 2nd embodiment. The temperature adjustment cooking container 20 includes a container main body 21, a lid body 22, and a temperature adjustment mechanism 23. The container body 21 has a heat receiving bottom surface 25, and a temperature adjustment mechanism 23 is integrally formed.

  The temperature adjustment mechanism 23 is configured by a so-called bias type bidirectional actuator. Specifically, the temperature adjustment mechanism 23 includes a movable shaft 26, a movable foot 27 attached to the tip of the movable shaft 26, a shape memory alloy coil spring 28, and a general coil spring 29 (bias spring). ing. The movable shaft 26 is inserted into the center of the shape memory alloy coil spring 28 and the general coil spring 29.

  Further, a convex portion 30 is formed on the axis of the movable shaft 26, a shape memory alloy coil spring 28 is disposed on one side with the convex portion 30 as a boundary, and a general coil spring 29 is disposed on the other side. . In addition, since the diameter of the convex part 30 is larger than the diameter of the shape memory alloy coil spring 28 and the general coil spring 29, when the container body 21 moves up and down, one of the shape memory alloy coil spring 28 and the general coil spring 29 is crushed and the other Is formed to extend.

  The shape memory alloy coil spring 28 is a coil spring formed from a shape memory alloy, and has a characteristic of restoring to a preset shape when a predetermined temperature (for example, 120 ° C.) is reached. Specifically, the shape memory coil spring 28 is formed to extend in the axial direction when a predetermined temperature is reached. The general coil spring 29 is a general coil spring that does not use a shape memory alloy.

  FIG. 2B is a diagram showing a state in which the temperature adjustment cooking container 20 is heated by the heat source and the temperature adjustment mechanism 23 reaches a predetermined temperature. When the heat in the heated temperature cooking container 20 is transmitted to the temperature adjustment mechanism 23 and reaches a predetermined temperature, the shape memory alloy coil spring 28 extends in the axial direction. At this time, since the shape memory alloy coil spring 28 pushes up the container body 21 upward, the temperature adjustment cooking container 20 moves in a direction away from the heat source. In the state where the temperature adjustment cooking container 20 is cooled (below the predetermined temperature), the shape memory alloy coil spring 28 is deformed by pressing the movable leg 27 together with the temperature adjustment cooking container 20, and the movable leg 27 is shown in FIG. Return to the shape of a).

  The temperature adjustment mechanism 32 is attached to the temperature adjustment cooking container 30 so as to be housed in a cross-shaped groove formed on the heat receiving bottom surface 33 of the container body 31. The temperature adjustment mechanism 32 is formed by cutting out a shape memory alloy leaf spring into a cross shape, and has a characteristic of restoring to a preset shape when a predetermined temperature (for example, 120 ° C.) is reached. . Specifically, when the shape memory alloy leaf spring reaches a predetermined temperature, one surface contracts and the other surface expands to deform into a curved bow shape. When the temperature is lower than the predetermined temperature, the shape memory alloy leaf spring maintains a substantially horizontal leaf shape. The temperature adjustment mechanism 32 is not limited to the shape memory alloy leaf spring, and the above-described bimetal may be used.

  The temperature adjustment mechanism 32 is attached to the temperature adjustment cooking container 30 in consideration of such a restored shape. Specifically, it is attached to the heat receiving bottom surface 33 of the temperature adjustment cooking container 30 so that the side that contracts at a predetermined temperature faces the heat source.

  Note that the shape of the temperature adjustment mechanism 32 is not limited to a cross shape, and may be, for example, a rectangle cut out. A foot for supporting the container body may be attached to each tip of the temperature adjustment mechanism 32. Such a temperature adjustment mechanism 32 has, for example, a screw hole formed in the center thereof, and is fixed to the heat receiving bottom surface 33 of the temperature adjustment cooking container 30 with a screw 34. Note that such a temperature adjustment mechanism 32 is not limited to screwing, and may be fixed to the temperature adjustment cooking container 30 by welding.

  FIG. 3B is a view showing a state in which the temperature adjustment cooking container 30 is heated by the heat source and the temperature adjustment mechanism 32 has reached a predetermined temperature. When the temperature adjustment mechanism 32 reaches a predetermined temperature, one surface facing the heat source contracts and warps in a bow shape. At this time, since the central portion of the temperature adjustment mechanism 32 floats in a direction substantially perpendicular to the heat source, the container body 31 moves in a direction away from the heat source.

  Further, a convex portion 50 is formed on the axis of the movable shaft 45, and a general coil spring 48 is disposed on the upper side with the convex portion 50 as a boundary. In addition, since the diameter of the convex part 50 is larger than the diameter of a general coil spring, when the container main body 41 moves up and down, it is formed so that it may be crushed or extended by the convex part 50.

  The stopper mechanism 49 includes an urging plate 51 and a lock pin 52, and the urging plate 51 is attached so as to urge the lock pin 52 in the direction of the movable shaft 45. Specifically, the urging plate 51 urges the lock pin 52 toward the movable shaft 45 so as to support the convex portion 50 of the movable shaft 45.

  The urging plate 51 is formed of a shape memory alloy leaf spring. When a predetermined temperature (for example, 120 ° C.) is reached, one surface contracts and the other surface expands to form a curved bow shape. Deform. When the temperature is lower than the predetermined temperature, the shape memory alloy leaf spring maintains a substantially horizontal leaf shape. Instead of the shape memory alloy leaf spring, a metal plate made of the aforementioned bimetal may be used.

  Next, modified examples of the temperature-controlled cooking container according to the first to seventh embodiments will be described.

<Modifications of First Embodiment to Seventh Embodiment>
The temperature-controlled cooking container according to the modification is configured such that a predetermined sound is produced when the temperature-controlled cooking container moves in a direction away from the heat source.

  FIG. 11 is a view showing a temperature adjustment cooking container 130 to which a temperature detection mechanism 131 according to a modification is attached. Since the temperature adjustment mechanism is the same as described above, it is not shown in FIG.

  The temperature detection mechanism 131 includes a temperature sensor 132, a speaker 133, a temperature adjustment knob 134, and a battery 135. The temperature sensor 132 is embedded in a predetermined position of the container main body 136. The temperature sensor 132 is not limited to the embedded type, and may be attached to a predetermined position inside the container body 136, for example. Note that the temperature sensor 132 is a resistance temperature detector (a resistance thermometer that obtains the temperature from the resistance of the temperature sensor, and a reference contact such as a thermocouple or a compensating lead wire is not required to obtain the temperature from the resistance). It may be a thermocouple using the Seebeck effect.

  The speaker 133 receives a sound signal (oscillation signal) from a controller (not shown) driven by using the battery 135 as a power source, and outputs a predetermined sound. Specifically, when the temperature sensor 132 detects that the temperature is a predetermined temperature, the speaker 133 is configured to output a predetermined sound based on an audio signal output from the controller. The predetermined temperature can be set by the temperature adjustment knob 134.

  The adjustment knob 134 is for setting a temperature (for example, 100 ° C. to 200 ° C.) detected by the temperature sensor 132. The battery 135 is a power source that operates the temperature detection mechanism 131.

  It is effective if the temperature set in the temperature detection mechanism 131, that is, the temperature at which sound is output from the speaker 133 is set to a temperature at which the temperature adjustment mechanism operates, for example. Specifically, when the temperature detection mechanism 131 is set to the same temperature as the temperature adjustment mechanism (for example, 120 ° C.), the temperature adjustment cooking container 130 is moved in a direction away from the heat source. A predetermined sound is output from the temperature adjustment cooking container 130. Therefore, according to the temperature adjustment cooking container 130 which concerns on such a modification, it can alert | report to a user the timing when a heating adjustment is adjusted automatically.

  The present modification is not limited to the above-described configuration. For example, without using a temperature sensor, a predetermined temperature is detected by a bimetal or a shape memory alloy, and a spring that has been previously wound is released by the shape change. It may be configured.

  Specifically, a music box spring that plays a predetermined music is wound in advance, and the release of the spring is stopped by a latch formed of bimetal or shape memory alloy. Thereafter, the temperature-controlled cooking container 130 is heated, so that the latch of the bimetal or shape memory alloy is deformed, the spring is released, and the music of the music box is played.

  Note that the temperature at which the mainspring is released may be set as appropriate, such as the temperature transmitted from the container main body 136 at the timing when the temperature adjusting mechanism operates.

  In the above-described embodiments and modifications, the heating intensity is adjusted by the function of the temperature adjustment mechanism, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments and modifications. For example, you may make it adjust cooking temperature more appropriately using the temperature adjustment cooking container formed from the magnetic metal material which has predetermined | prescribed Curie temperature (for example, 120 degreeC). The components of the magnetic metal material and the blending ratio thereof may be appropriately designed so as to achieve a desired Curie temperature.

  According to such a temperature control cooking container, cooking can be finished more appropriately by combining with the function of the heating cooker. In particular, when a temperature-controlled cooking container having such a Curie temperature is used, more delicate temperature adjustment can be made, and accidents caused by malfunctions or design errors can be prevented. Safety in the area can be ensured.
