Description

The present invention relates to a cooking device for heating retort pouch food in a bag.

Conventionally, when heating retort pouch food, water is boiled in a pot or the like, and the retort pouch food is put in the bag as it is and heated, or the contents of the retort pouch food are emptied from the bag into a container such as a plate. , I used to heat it using a microwave oven with the wrap film on it.
However, in the former case, it takes time and effort to boil water in a pot or the like, and the used boiling water has to be discarded, so that there is a problem that energy and water are wasted. Further, there is a problem that water droplets fall around until the bag of the retort pouch food is taken out from the boiling water, opened and the contents are emptied into a container such as a plate.
Further, in the latter case, since the wrap film is basically disposable, there is a problem that plastic waste increases.

Therefore, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a cooking device capable of heating a retort pouch food without using boiling water or a microwave oven.
The retort pouch food heating cooker disclosed in Patent Document 1 is provided with a movable heat plate and a fixed heat plate facing each other in a main body having an opening at the top so as to be openable and closable, and also with the movable heat plate. After the retort pouch food is sandwiched between the fixed hot plate and the bag as it is, the movable hot plate and the fixed hot plate are heated by energization to heat the retort pouch food to a predetermined temperature.

However, in the heating cooker disclosed in Patent Document 1, since the movable hot plate is always urged in the direction separated from the fixed hot plate, it is between the movable hot plate and the fixed hot plate. In order to hold the bag of retort pouch food in a sandwiched state, a stopper for fixing the upper end of the movable hot plate was required.
Further, as described above, since the movable hot plate is always urged in the direction away from the fixed hot plate, the distance between the movable hot plate and the fixed hot plate is on the opening side (upper side) of the main body. It is wide and narrow on the bottom plate side (lower side). On the other hand, when a bag of retort pouch food is inserted vertically between the movable hot plate and the fixed hot plate, the contents of the bag stay under the bag due to gravity, and the shape of the bag has a thickness on the lower side. Since the bag is in an increased state, there is a problem that it is difficult to insert the retort pouch food bag between the movable hot plate and the fixed hot plate up to the bottom plate side.

In view of the above-mentioned various problems, the present invention does not require a means for holding the retort pouch food bag sandwiched between the movable hot plate and the fixed hot plate, and also with the movable hot plate. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cooking device that enables easy insertion of a bag of retort pouch food into a fixed hot plate.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the retort pouch food cooker of the present invention has a movable hot plate in a state of facing each other with a predetermined interval inside a rectangular main body case having an opening at the top. And the fixed hot plate are arranged, and the movable hot plate is constantly urged in a direction close to the fixed hot plate by the urging force of the urging means, and the distance between the movable hot plate and the fixed hot plate at the time of urging. However, it was configured to be narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.
Further, above the movable hot plate, an operation knob is provided so as to project from the opening of the main body case, and a heat-resistant cover is attached to the knob.

In the retort pouch food heating cooker of the present invention, the movable hot plate is constantly urged in a direction close to the fixed hot plate by the urging force of the urging means. When a bag of retort pouch food is sandwiched between them and heated, it is not necessary to provide a means for maintaining the sandwiched state. Further, an operation knob is provided above the movable hot plate, and by operating the knob, the movable hot plate can be easily separated from the fixed hot plate against the urging force of the urging means. Since it can be moved, the cooking device can be simply configured.
Further, in a state where the movable hot plate is urged in a direction close to the fixed hot plate, the distance between the movable hot plate and the fixed hot plate is narrow in the upper part and wide in the lower part, so that the movable hot plate can be used. If you move it away from the fixed hot plate against the urging force of the urging means, the interval will be almost the same both above and below, so the bag of retort pouch food with the contents staying below Can be easily inserted between the movable hot plate and the fixed hot plate. Further, after the bag of the retort pouch food is inserted between the movable hot plate and the fixed hot plate, the movable hot plate is urged in a direction close to the fixed hot plate by the urging force of the urging means. Since the distance between the movable hot plate and the fixed hot plate is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, the retort pouch food bag is placed between the movable hot plate and the fixed hot plate even when the contents are retained downward. It can be securely sandwiched and heated. Moreover, when the movable hot plate is moved in a direction away from the fixed hot plate in order to take out the bag after the heating of the retort pouch food is completed, the knob provided above the movable hot plate has heat resistance. Since the cover is attached, it is possible to prevent burns even if the movable hot plate is hot immediately after heating.

Further, the setting range of the heating time by the setting means 5 is preferably, for example, 0 to 10 minutes, but is not limited to this.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the cooking device 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, inside the main body case 2, the movable hot plate 10 and the fixed hot plate 20 are arranged in a state of facing each other with a predetermined interval, and are provided on the upper part of the main body case 2. The opening 3 is closed by a semi-movable hot plate 10 as shown in FIGS. 1 (b) and 2.
The movable heat plate 10 includes a movable plate 11 swingably attached to the bottom plate 30, a heat transfer plate 12 provided on a surface of the movable plate 11 facing the fixed heat plate 20, and the movable plate 11. The heating means 13 sandwiched between the heat transfer plate 12 and the heat transfer plate 12 is provided, and the urging force of the urging means 40 inserted between the movable plate 11 and the main body case 2 causes the heating means 13. It is constantly urged in a direction close to the fixed heat plate 20. At this time, as shown in FIG. 2, the distance between the movable hot plate 11 and the fixed hot plate 12 is narrow in the upper part and wide in the lower part. A knob 11a for operating the movable plate 11 is provided above the movable plate 11 so as to protrude from the opening 3 of the main body case 2, and the knob 11a has a heat-resistant cover 11b. (See FIG. 1) is attached.
The fixed heat plate 20 includes a fixed plate 21 fixed perpendicular to the bottom plate 30, a heat transfer plate 22 provided on a surface of the fixed plate 21 facing the movable heat plate 10, and the movable heat plate 10. It is configured to include a heating means 23 provided on surfaces that do not face each other. As the heating means 13 and 23, for example, a planar heater or the like may be used. The heating means 23 is provided with a thermostat 50 and a temperature fuse 60, and the thermostat 50 turns on the heating means 13 and 23 so as to be held in a preset temperature range during the heating time set by the setting means 5. When the thermostat 50 fails or the temperature exceeds the set temperature due to a failure of the thermostat 50, the temperature fuse 60 is blown to stop the energization of the heating means 13 and 23.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing a state in which the bag P of the retort pouch food is inserted into the cooking device 1 of the present invention. When inserting the bag P of the retort pouch food into the cooking device 1, the knob 11a provided above the movable hot plate 10 is operated to make the movable hot plate 10 resist the urging force of the urging means 40. The opening 3 of the main body case 2 which is moved away from the fixed hot plate 20 (the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. 2) and is half-closed by the movable hot plate 10 is shown in FIGS. 1 (b) and 3. While opening as shown, the bag P of the retort pouch food is inserted vertically from the opening 3 of the main body case 2 between the movable hot plate 10 and the fixed hot plate 20. At this time, since the distance between the movable hot plate 10 and the fixed hot plate 20 is almost the same both above and below, the bag P of the retort pouch food in which the contents are retained downward can be easily obtained. Can be inserted.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing a state in which the bag P of the retort pouch food is inserted into the cooking device 1 of the present invention. After inserting the retort pouch food bag P between the movable hot plate 10 and the fixed hot plate 20 as described above, when the hand is released from the knob 11a provided above the movable hot plate 10, the movable heat is concerned. As shown in FIG. 4, the plate 10 is urged by the urging force of the urging means 40 in a direction close to the fixed hot plate 20, and the bag P of the retort pouch food is sandwiched between the fixed hot plate 20. At this time, since the distance between the movable hot plate 10 and the fixed hot plate 20 is narrow in the upper part and wide in the lower part, it is vertically inserted between the movable hot plate 10 and the fixed hot plate 20. The retort pouch food bag P can be reliably sandwiched between the movable hot plate 10 and the fixed hot plate 20 even when the contents are retained below.

When the heating time is set by the setting means 5 provided on the front surface of the main body case 2 with the bag P of the retort pouch food sandwiched between the movable heat plate 10 and the fixed heat plate 20 as described above, the movable heat Energization is started on the heating means 13 and 23 provided on the plate 10 and the fixed heat plate 20, and the bag P of the retort pouch food is heated via the heat transfer plates 12 and 22. At this time, the display means 4 provided on the front surface of the main body case 2 lights up to indicate that the cooking cooker 1 is in operation. Further, the heating means 13 and 23 are controlled on and off by a thermostat 50 attached to the heating means 23, and are maintained in a preset temperature range. Then, when the heating time set by the setting means 5 elapses, the energization of the heating means 13 and 23 is stopped and the display means 4 is turned off.
If the temperature of the heating means 23 exceeds the set temperature due to a failure of the thermostat 50 while the heating means 13 and 23 are energized, the temperature fuse 60 attached to the heating means 23 is used. By fusing, the energization to the heating means 13 and 23 is stopped. Further, if the bag P of the retort pouch food is heated at a temperature exceeding a set temperature before the temperature fuse 60 is blown, the bag P may expand, but it can move with the expansion of the bag P. The hot plate 10 can move in a direction away from the fixed hot plate 20 against the urging force of the urging means 40, and can absorb the expansion of the bag P.

When taking out the heated retort pouch food bag P from the cooking cooker 1, the movable hot plate 10 is urged by operating the knob 11a provided above the movable hot plate 10 from the state shown in FIG. It may be moved in a direction away from the fixed hot plate 20 against the urging force of 40, the opening 3 of the main body case 2 may be opened as shown in FIG. 3, and the upper end of the bag P may be grasped and taken out. At this time, since the heat-resistant cover 11b (see FIG. 1) is attached to the knob 11a of the movable hot plate 10, even if the movable hot plate 10 is hot immediately after heating, it may cause burns or the like. The bag P of the retort pouch food can be taken out without doing so. Further, the distance between the movable hot plate 10 and the fixed hot plate 20 is substantially the same both above and below, and the bag P of the retort pouch food does not lean on the movable hot plate 10 side, so that it is hot. The bag P can be taken out without touching the movable hot plate 10 and the fixed hot plate 20.

As described above, in the heating cooker 1 of the present invention, since the movable hot plate 10 is constantly urged toward the fixed hot plate 20 by the urging force of the urging means 40, it is fixed to the movable hot plate 10. When the bag P of the retort pouch food is sandwiched between the hot plate 20 and the hot plate 20 and heated, it is not necessary to provide a means for maintaining the sandwiched state. Further, the movable hot plate 10 can be easily moved in a direction away from the fixed hot plate 20 against the urging force of the urging means 40 by operating the knob 11a provided above the movable hot plate 10. The heating cooker 1 can be simply configured.
Further, in a state where the movable hot plate 10 is urged in a direction close to the fixed hot plate 20, the distance between the movable hot plate 10 and the fixed hot plate 20 is narrow in the upper part and wide in the lower part. When the movable hot plate 10 is moved in a direction away from the fixed hot plate 20 against the urging force of the urging means 40, the distance is almost the same both upward and downward, so that the contents are retained downward. The state retort pouch food bag P can be easily inserted between the movable hot plate 10 and the fixed hot plate 20. Further, after the bag P of the retort pouch food is inserted between the movable hot plate 10 and the fixed hot plate 20, the movable hot plate 10 is attached in a direction close to the fixed hot plate 20 by the urging force of the urging means 40. When the force is applied, the distance between the movable hot plate 10 and the fixed hot plate 20 becomes narrow in the upper part and wide in the lower part, so that the bag P of the retort pouch food can be moved even if the contents are retained in the lower part. It can be reliably sandwiched between the hot plate 10 and the fixed hot plate 20 for heating. Moreover, when the movable hot plate 10 is moved in a direction away from the fixed hot plate 20 in order to take out the bag P after the heating of the retort pouch food is completed, the knob 11a provided above the movable hot plate 10 is used. Since the heat-resistant cover 11b is attached, it is possible to prevent the movable hot plate 10 from being burned even if the movable hot plate 10 is hot immediately after heating, and the bag P leans against the movable hot plate 10. Since there is no such thing, the bag P can be taken out without touching the hot movable hot plate 10 and the fixed hot plate 20.
