[Installation of the inner pot on the rice cooker body]
The state which installed the inner pot 5 comprised as mentioned above in the rice cooker main body 1, and closed the cover body 2 is demonstrated.
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, when the inner pot 5 is installed in the rice cooker body 1, the lower portion of the hook portion 50 of the inner pot 5 comes into contact with the hook support portion 1a1 at the upper end of the inner pot receiving portion 1a. The inner hook 5 is supported by the hook support portion 1a1.

  In such a state, the lower cylinder part 5c1 located in the lower part of the collar part 50 is accommodated in the inner hook accommodating part 1a. The upper cylinder part 5c2 located above the lower part of the collar part 50 protrudes upward from the inner hook accommodating part 1a and enters the space part 2d of the outer lid 2a. The upper cylindrical portion 5c2 that has entered the space portion 2d is in a state of facing the heat radiating plate 31 inside and outside.

Moreover, the heat radiation space 13 which is a space sandwiched between the upper cylinder portion 5c2 and the heat radiating plate 31 facing each other is provided outside the rice cooker 100 with the gap between the lid 2 and the rice cooker body 1 as a ventilation portion 14. It is configured to communicate with the space.
In addition, the ventilation part 14 may have a configuration such as a hole formed in the rice cooker body 1 or the lid 2 for ventilating the heat radiation space 13 from the outside of the rice cooker 100.

As described above, the cooking pot (rice and water) is put in the inner pot 5 and the inner pot 5 is stored in the rice cooker body 1 to start the rice cooking operation. In addition, the reference line is provided in the inner pot 5 so that the maximum amount of the food can be accommodated in the lower cylinder part 5c1 below the bowl part 50.
In the boiling step in the cooking operation, the control unit 10 operates the main heating unit 7, stops the heater 32 of the upper tube unit heating unit 30 (does not operate), or operates the output weakly. The lower cylinder part 5c1 is heated to a state suitable for cooking, and the cooking operation is performed so that the temperature of the upper cylinder part 5c2 is lower than the temperature of the lower cylinder part 5c1.

When the boiling process is started, the lower cylinder part 5c1, the bottom part 5a, and the corner part 5b are heated by the operation of the main heating means 7, and the cooked product is boiled along with this, and the foam moves inside the inner pot into the upper cylinder part 5c2. It springs up.
Here, since the temperature of the upper cylinder part 5c2 is lower than the temperature of the lower cylinder part 5c1 and the part below the lower cylinder part 5c1, the bubbles that have risen are efficiently cooled on the inner surface of the upper cylinder part 5c2, and broken. The boiled soup constituting the foam is returned downward by its own weight to prevent the rice cake from blowing out from the inner pot 5. That is, it is possible to reduce the amount of intrusion from the inner hook 5 into the cartridge 20.

  In particular, the heat radiation space 13 sandwiched between the upper cylinder portion 5c2 and the heat radiating plate 31 facing each other communicates with the external space of the rice cooker 100 with the gap at the position where the lid 2 and the rice cooker body 1 are aligned as the ventilation portion 14. Since it is comprised in the state which carried out, since the upper cylinder part 5c2 can be kept lower than the temperature of the lower cylinder part 5c1, the bubble which blows off efficiently can be cooled.

  Moreover, in order to cool the upper cylinder part 5c2, since the thermal radiation space 13 pinched | interposed between the upper cylinder part 5c2 and the heat sink 31 which opposes is maintained at low temperature, dew condensation may arise in the heat sink 31 vicinity. Since the seal 33 is provided between the heat radiating plate 31 and the upper lid 2a, it is possible to prevent water due to condensation from entering the space where the heater 31 is provided.

Next, when the boiling process is completed, the control unit 10 proceeds to a dry-up process, an unevenness process, and a heat retention process.
The dry-up process is a process that completely absorbs moisture to the center of the rice, completely gelatinizes it to the center of the rice, and completely evaporates any excess moisture in the kettle. In this process, the temperature in the kettle is increased to the peak temperature (the highest temperature in the dry-up process) to promote the gelatinization of rice.

The unevenness process is a process to evaporate the moisture on the surface of the rice, to make the moisture of the rice uniform, and to completely gelatinize the inside of the rice. The rice does not burn, and the pot temperature is 80 ° C or higher. This is a step of holding for a predetermined time.
A heat retention process is a process of keeping the temperature of the cooked rice in a warm state after the end of the rice cooking operation (after the end of the unevenness process).

  The control part 10 heats the upper cylinder part 5c2 by operating the heater 32 of the upper cylinder part heating means 30 in the dry-up process, the unevenness process, and the heat insulation process. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the water vapor evaporated from the rice in the dry-up process, the unevenness process, and the heat retaining process from being cooled and condensed by the upper cylinder portion 5c2.
