Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a type of cooking device that includes a cooking stove section in the upper part of the cooking device body and a rice cooking section in the lower part thereof.

The applicant of the present application has previously developed a cooking device of this type, which includes a stove part consisting of a stove body and a stove burner inside the stove body in the upper part of the cooker body, and a front door that can be opened and closed at the bottom of the body. We have proposed a type that includes a rice cooking section consisting of a rice cooking pot that can be taken in and out freely through a rice cooker and a heat source below the rice cooking pot that is opposite to the rice cooking pot. Generally, the pot is supported from below and can be moved in and out along this, and the pot is placed in the rice cooker by pressing the lid attached to it from above. It is preferable to generate a predetermined pressure.

The purpose of the present invention is to obtain a cooker that meets such requirements.
A rice cooker comprising a stove part 4 consisting of a stove part 4, a rice cooker pot 6 which can be accessed and taken out at the lower part of the main body 1 through a front door 5 which can be opened and closed, and a heat source 7 below the rice cooker pot 6 opposite to the rice cooker pot 6. 8, the rice cooking section 8 is provided with a pressing member 9 that presses the pot lid 6a on the top surface of the rice cooking pot 6 from above, and the pressing member 9
It is characterized in that it can be freely switched between an inactive state when the door 5 is open and an operative state when the door 5 is closed in conjunction with the opening and closing of the door 5.

FIGS. 1 to 5 show one example of this. As clearly shown in FIG. 5, the pot 6 has its upper part enlarged to a relatively wide width to form a pair of left and right stepped portions 6b, 6b. , is placed and supported on a pair of guide rail-shaped pedestals 11, 11 on the left and right side of the lower side, and is prepared so as to be freely accessible along these. The signal from the element 12 is guided to a control valve or other control member 14 interposed in a gas passage 13 that leads gas to a gas burner constituting the heat source 7. 7
shall act to control the operation of the

As clearly shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the pressing member 9 extends in the front-rear direction above the pot lid 6a on the top surface of the rice cooking pot 6, and is pivotally supported by a shaft 15 at its tip so as to be able to swing up and down. This lever member is connected at its tail end via a link 16 to an arm member 17 extending rearward from the lower end of the door 5, so that when the door 5 is closed, the pressing member 9 As shown in the third figure, the pot lid 6a is tilted downward to be pressed from above, but when the door 5 is opened, it moves upward as shown in the fourth figure to release the pressure. Made it inactive. In this case, the pressing member 9 is provided with an elastic tongue piece 9a made of a spring member on its lower surface as shown in the drawing.

FIG. 6 shows another example. In this case, the above-mentioned temperature sensing element 12 is provided on a pedestal 18 on the lower side so as to be in contact with the bottom surface of the pot 6, and the remaining points are It's not really different from that. In the drawing, reference numeral 19 indicates a spring that resiliently repels the base 18 upward.

It is preferable that the temperature sensing element 12 is moved downwardly so as not to become an obstacle when the pot 6 is put in and taken out.In order to do this automatically, the temperature sensing element 12 is configured as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, for example. do. That is, the pedestal 18 that supports the element 12 is pivoted by a shaft 20 at its tip so that it can tilt up and down, and a pressing lever 21 for pressing it is provided on the upper side of its tail end with a shaft 22. The pin 23 and the pin hole 24 are engaged with the lower end of the link 16, and when the door 5 is opened, the pedestal 18 is pushed by the lever 21 and moved downward, as shown in FIG. 12 is moved downward to the inoperative position, but when the door 5 is closed, the pressure is released and the element 12 moves upward as shown in FIG.
The actuating position is such that it comes into contact with the bottom surface from the bottom.

The operation will be explained using, for example, those shown in Figs.
When the member 9 is guided along the pedestals 11 and 11 to a predetermined position facing the heat source 7, and the door 5 is closed, the member 9 is moved downward accordingly and becomes operational. That is, the member 9 is applied to the pot lid 6a of the pot 6 from above, and the pressing member 9 is applied to the pot lid 6a of the pot 6 from above, thereby causing the member 9 and its lower cradle to be pressed. 11, 11, and is in a fixed state, ready for the subsequent rice cooking. Next, when the rice cooking is completed and the door 5 is opened, the pressing member 9 is placed in the upper inoperative position, and the pot 6 is released from the pressure and can be taken out forward.

In this way, according to the present invention, the pressure member 9 is applied from above to the pot lid 6a on the top of the rice cooker 6, which is guided through the front door 5, to maintain a predetermined pressure inside the rice cooker during rice cooking. can be generated, and good rice cooking can be achieved.In particular, the pressing member 9 is linked to the opening and closing of the door 5, so that it is in an inactive state when the door 5 is open and is in an activated state when the door 5 is closed. Therefore, when the door 5 is opened and the rice cooking pot 6 is moved in and out of the rice cooking section 8, the pressing member 9 is in an inactive state. This has the effect that it can be taken in and out without being obstructed by the pressing member.
