Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention relates to an electric cooker with a removable temperature controller.

[Prior art]

In a conventional electric cooking device such as a hot plate, as shown in FIG. 6, there is a plate body 2 having a heating heater (not shown) and a heat-sensitive hole 1 formed in a part of the bottom surface, and the plate body 2. 2, a handle 6 which supports the plate main body 2, and integrally forms a protective cover 5 with a power connection part (not shown) and a heat-sensitive rod insertion hole 4 below. , a support leg 7 integrally molded with the handle 6
and a temperature regulator 9 having a heat-sensitive rod 8 and a power supply connection part (not shown), and the temperature regulator 9 is removably inserted into the protective cover 5.

The temperature regulator 9 has a dial knob 10 rotatably mounted on its upper surface, and the temperature regulating mechanism 11 is adjusted by rotating the dial knob 10.

In the above electric cooker, the dial knob 10 is provided on the top surface of the temperature regulator 9, so when the temperature regulator 9 is attached to the protective cover 5, the gap between the handle 6 and the dial knob 10 is reduced. The disadvantage is that it is very difficult to carry the temperature controller 9 with it attached.

In contrast, the handle 6 and dial knob 10
If the handle 6 is placed on the upper side in order to increase the distance between the plate body 2 and the plate body 2, the handle 6 will protrude greatly from the plate body 2, which is not only difficult to use but also very bad in terms of design. Then,
On the other hand, when the temperature regulator 9 is placed on the lower side, the fitting position of the temperature regulator 9 is at a low position, resulting in a disadvantage that the operability during attachment and detachment becomes very poor.

〔the purpose〕

The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks and provide an inexpensive electric cooker with good operability by using a slide type operating knob for the temperature regulator.

〔Example〕

Reference numeral 21 denotes a plate body (cooking device body) equipped with a heater (not shown), and a heat-sensitive hole 22 is formed in a part of the bottom surface of the plate body (cooking device body).

23 is a reflective plate for covering the bottom surface of the plate body 21, and 24 is a handle integrally molded with the protective cover 25 and the supporting legs 26 from a heat-resistant synthetic resin material.

The protective cover 25 is formed below the handle 24 at a predetermined interval, has a power supply connection part (not shown) provided therein, and has a back wall facing the heat-sensitive hole 22. A heat-sensitive rod insertion hole 27 is formed.

Reference numeral 28 designates a temperature regulator that incorporates the temperature regulating mechanism 29, and a fitting part 30 that is lowered by one step is provided at the front part of the temperature regulator.
The fitting portion 30 is inserted into and removed from the protective cover 25 so that the upper wall of the protective cover 25 and the upper surface of the temperature regulator 28 are flush with each other when the fitting portion 30 is fitted into the protective cover 25. is formed.

Further, the temperature regulator 28 has a power supply connection part (not shown) and a heat-sensitive rod 31 on the end face of the fitting part 30, and the fitting part 30 is inserted into the protective cover 25. At this point, the heater on the plate body 21 side and the temperature regulator 28 are electrically connected, and the heat-sensitive rod 31 is fitted into the heat fitting hole 22 on the plate body 21 side.

The temperature adjustment mechanism 29 of the temperature controller 28 is set to a predetermined temperature by sliding the slide knob 32.

Temperature adjustment mechanism 29 and slide knob 32 below
The slide mechanism will be explained in detail.

Reference numeral 33 denotes a mounting plate fixed to the base of the heat-sensitive rod 31, and a first contact plate 34 and a second contact plate are provided on the lower surface of the tip.
A contact plate 35 is attached with a mounting insulator 36. The first contact plate 34 is longer than the second contact plate 35, and has an actuating part 37 on the lower surface of its tip that moves upward and pushes up the first contact plate 34 when the temperature of the heat-sensitive rod 31 rises. being touched.
Therefore, when the heat-sensitive rod 31 senses the temperature of the plate body 21, the actuating section 37 moves up and down.
By turning on and off the electrical connection between the first contact plate 34 and the second contact plate 35, the power supply to the heater on the plate main body 21 side is controlled.

Reference numeral 38 designates a temperature setting pin that passes through the first contact plate 34 from the upper surface of the mounting plate 33 and comes into contact with the second contact plate 35, and a gear 40 rotated by a chain 39 is fixed to the upper end of the pin. The gear 40
The temperature setting pin 38 is moved up and down by the rotation operation. As the temperature setting pin 38 moves up and down, the second contact plate 35 moves up and down, and the time period during which electricity is applied to the heater is changed.

Reference numeral 41 denotes a sliding groove provided on the inner surface of the rear side wall of the temperature regulator 28, and a sliding body 42 is provided within the sliding groove 41 so as to be slidable in the left-right direction.

The chain 39 is fixed to the sliding body 42, and the slide knob 32 is attached to the protruding rod 43 that protrudes to the outside of the rear side wall of the temperature regulator 28.
is installed.

Therefore, by sliding the slide knob 32 from side to side, the gear 40 rotates via the sliding body 42 and the chain 39, and the set temperature of the temperature adjustment mechanism 29 can be changed.

Further, the sliding body 42 is provided with a locking means so that it can be temporarily locked at a temperature indicator 44 in a frequently used temperature range. This locking means consists of a protrusion 47 which is constantly urged downward by a spring 45 and which is removably engaged with a recess 46 formed at a position opposite to the temperature indicator 44.
The protrusion 47 engages with the recess 46 to temporarily hold the sliding body 42 in that position. Of course, it is needless to explain in detail that if the sliding body 42 is moved with a force exceeding the engagement force between the protrusion 47 and the recess 46, the engagement between the protrusion 47 and the recess 46 will be disengaged.

Further, instead of the protrusion 47, it is also possible to use a plate spring 49 having a protrusion 48 as shown in FIG.

In addition, in FIG. 2, 50 is a power cord, 51 is a power plug, 52, 52 is a receiving blade that becomes a power connection part, 5
3 is a long hole.

Therefore, when setting the temperature of the temperature regulator 28, the sliding body 42 slides by sliding the slide knob 32 left and right, and the chain 39 moves accordingly, causing the gear 40 to rotate. By the rotation of this gear 40, the temperature setting pin 3
8 moves up and down, and the time for which electricity is applied to the heater is varied.

Since the slide knob 32 is provided in a portion including at least the side surface of the temperature regulator 28,
Since the top surface of the temperature regulator 28 has no protrusions and is flat, even if oil stains or the like from cooking adhere to the top surface, they can be easily wiped off. Further, since the top surface of the temperature regulator is located on the same plane as the top surface of the protective cover 25, it is extremely easy to carry the plate body 21 via the handle 24.

〔effect〕

As described above, the present invention provides a protective cover equipped with a power connection part and a heat-sensitive rod insertion hole at the bottom of the handle that supports the main body of the cooker, and a temperature control device equipped with a heat-sensitive rod and a power connection part inside the protective cover. In an electric cooker in which the cooking utensil can be freely inserted and removed, the temperature adjustment mechanism of the temperature regulator is adjusted by a slide knob, and the slide knob is provided at least in a portion including the side surface. The remarkable effect is that the protrusion on the top surface of the temperature regulator is eliminated, which improves the workability of wiping off oil stains, etc., and the main body of the cooker can be easily carried by the handle even when the temperature regulator is attached. It is something that can be played.
