DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vertical rice washing / cooking apparatus having a rice storage unit, a rice washing unit, and a rice cooking unit from the upper side.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a vertical rice-washing rice cooker, a rice storage section is located at a high position.

[0003]

Therefore, when the worker supplies rice to the rice storage section, the weight (for example, 10 kg) is required.
The bag with rice) must be raised high, which is very labor intensive. As a countermeasure for this, there is a means for supplying with a separately provided frying machine, but there is a problem that the rice hits the frying blades and the like and the rice is damaged.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a vertical rice-washing / cooking apparatus which can easily supply rice to be cooked and can prevent damage to the rice. Tactics were taken. That is, the rice storage unit 1 and the rice washing unit 2 are integrally provided so as to be vertically movable and the rice washing unit 2 is provided.
The rice-cooking unit 3 provided below is provided so as to be movable in the horizontal direction, and when the rice storage unit 1 and the rice-washing unit 2 move downward, the rice-cooking unit 3 moves away from a position directly below the rice-washing unit 2, and When the rice washing unit 2 moves upward, the rice cooking unit 3 returns to the position immediately below the rice washing unit 2 so that the rice storage unit 1 and the rice washing unit 2 move vertically and the rice cooking unit 3 moves laterally. A vertical rice-washing / cooking rice cooker having a related configuration was adopted.

[0005]

When the rice storage unit 1 and the rice washing unit 2 move downward, the rice cooking unit 3 located below the rice washing unit 2 moves. When the rice storage unit 1 and the rice washing unit 2 move upward, the rice cooking unit 3 moves and returns to the original position.

[0006]

[Effect] Since the rice storage unit 1 can be moved to a low position, supply of rice to the rice storage unit 1 can be performed easily and easily, and rice damage can be prevented.

[0007]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First, the rice washing rice cooker 4 will be described. The rice washing unit 4 includes a rice storage unit 1 having a rice storage for accommodating rice for cooking from the upper side in the vertical direction, and a rice washing tank 2a having a washing tool. Unit 2 and a rice cooker 3 provided with a rice cooker 3a composed of an inner kettle and an outer kettle.
The rice supplied in a predetermined amount from is washed in the rice washing section 2, and the rice and water discharged from the rice washing section 2 after washing are stored in the rice cooking section 3 and cooked.

The main body frames 5 are arranged side by side at predetermined intervals in the left-right direction when viewed from the front and have leg frames 6 provided with casters on the bottom surface. Vertical frame 7 provided integrally with these two leg frames 6, 6
And a horizontal frame 8 connecting the vertical frames 7, 7 and the like. The leg frame 6 includes the rice cooker 3.
and a rice cooker receiver 10 which can be slid in the front-rear direction via a slide bearing 9 and is provided with a. 11 is
At both left and right ends of the rice cooker receiver 10, one end is attached to the rice cooker receiver 10, and the other end is a horizontal frame 8.
Spring attached to

The vertical frame 7 is divided into upper and lower parts at the middle part.
The upper vertical frame 7b is vertically slidable relative to the lower vertical frame 7a. A ring 13 is attached to the end of the motor shaft 12a on the back of the lower vertical frame 7a.
A reversible motor 12 having the following structure is detachably provided. In addition, a wire 14 is wound around the ring 13, and the wire 14 is connected to the rice cooker via a guide roller 15 provided on the back of the lower vertical frame 7 a at a position below the ring 13. It is attached to the bottom of the receiver 10.

Reference numeral 16 denotes an air cylinder whose lower end mounting portion is detachably mounted on the leg frame 6, and air pipes 17, 18 are connected to the upper and lower ends, respectively. Reference numeral 19 denotes a piston which can slide the air cylinder 16 in the vertical direction by supply and exhaust from the air pipes 17 and 18, and its upper end is detachably attached to the upper vertical frame 7b.

Although not shown, a top plate is detachably attached to the upper vertical frame 7b. The rice washing tank 2a is provided on the lower surface of the top plate, and the upper vertical frame 7b is provided on the upper surface thereof. The rice-storing unit 1 is also attached detachably. Therefore, in connection with the vertical movement of the piston 19, the upper vertical frame 7b, the rice storage section 1 and the rice washing section 2 can be integrally moved in the vertical direction. The up and down operation is provided on the lower side wall 20 of the rice storing section 1 and the switch 2 is provided.
Perform with 1.

Next, the operation will be described. First, when supplying rice to the rice storage of the rice storage unit 1, the switch 21 is pressed. Then, the motor is rotated by the forward / reverse motor 12.
The shaft 14a and the ring 13 are rotated forward by a predetermined number to
In this connection, the spring 11 is extended and pushes the rice cooker receiver 10 forward (in the direction of arrow A). Further, since air is supplied from the air pipe 17 and exhausted from the air pipe 18, the piston 19 moves downward (in the direction of arrow B) to a predetermined position. Accordingly, the upper vertical frame 7b and the rice storage unit 1 and the rice washing unit 2 provided integrally therewith also move down to a predetermined position.

After a predetermined time (when it has moved down to a predetermined position)
Next, since the supply of air to the air pipe 17 and the exhaust from the air pipe 18 are stopped, the piston 19 also stops. At this time,
Since the rice storage unit 1 has reached the position indicated by the imaginary line in FIG. 2, the height is lower than the position during the rice cooking operation by the height H. Therefore, it is only necessary to remove the lid of the rice storage unit 1 and supply the rice into the rice storage, and this supply operation is also easily performed.

When the rice supply operation is completed, the switch 21 is pressed again. Then, air is supplied to the air pipe 18 and exhausted from the other air pipe 17, so that the piston 19 moves upward (moves in the direction opposite to the direction of the arrow B), and the upper vertical frame 7b and the rice storage section 1 are moved. Then, the rice washing section 2 is moved in the same direction. Then, when the rice storage unit 1 returns to the original position, the movement of the piston 19 is stopped by stopping the air supply to the air pipe 18 and the exhaust from the air pipe 17. Further, since the motor shaft 12a and the ring 13 are reversed by a predetermined number by the forward / reverse rotating motor 12 and the wire 14 is wound up, the rice cooker receiver 10 compresses the spring 11 (opposite to the direction of arrow A). Side) and return to the original position (the position for cooking rice).

As described above, when supplying rice to the rice storage unit 1, the operation can be performed easily and easily by lowering the rice storage unit 1. Further, since a separate supply device is not required, damage to rice can be prevented.
