Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a large-sized cooked rice warmer for industrial use that is equipped with a partition.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, large-sized rice insulators for industrial use used in cafeterias, restaurants, etc. are large-sized insulators (often electrically powered) that can store 3 liters of cooked rice. However, as the rice stored in the large heat insulator goes to the bottom, it becomes a sticky lump due to the weight of the rice in the upper layer and also due to the condition of the hot water. On the other hand, the delicious taste of rice is spoiled and it becomes like leftovers.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The present invention satisfactorily solves the above-mentioned drawbacks by installing a simple perforated disk partition as described below.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The cooked rice warmer equipped with the partition of the present invention has an inner diameter of the lower layer that is larger than that of the upper layer from a position half the height of the inner pot of a normal cooked rice warmer. The internal diameter of the inner pot is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the upper layer of the inner pot, and the inner diameter of the inner pot is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the lower layer of the inner pot. This rice insulator is equipped with a partition that features:

Here, the disk can be supported by making the inner diameter of the inner pot slightly smaller than half the height of the lower layer than the inner diameter of the upper layer.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view of the disc according to the present invention,
A plurality of holes 2 having a diameter of about 27 mm are provided in a disc 1.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing the rice warmer according to the present invention and cooked rice stored therein. The support portion 6 allows the disk to be placed on it. 7 is rice.

The material of the disc serving as the partition may be wood, plastic, aluminum, etc., but any material is acceptable as long as it is sturdy and does not affect the cooked rice with odor, color, etc.

Even if the diameter of hole 2 is smaller than 10 mm as a result of the experiment,
There is no effect, and even at 35mm or more, the effect is weak. about 27
If it is about mm, you can insert your finger and remove the disc with your finger.

FIG. 2 shows a state in which cooked rice 7 is stored in the inner pots 3 and 4 of the cooked rice warmer 5 equipped with a partition according to the present invention.

A separate spring-like ring may be used as a support part for the normal inner pot so that the disc serving as an inner partition is supported at a position approximately half the height of the rice warmer. It is also possible to use a cylindrical part with a diameter that can be stored in the inner pot at half the height of the inner pot.

Now, when the rice that has been cooked in the rice cooker is stored in this warmer using Yamoji, when about half of the rice is stored, the disk according to the present invention is inserted into the inner pot support part 6.
Place it on the plate and store about half of the remaining rice on the disk.

In a comparative experiment between the above case and the conventional case without partitions, we found that when the device of this invention was used, the cooked rice in the lower layer than the disk remained fluffy in exactly the same way as the cooked rice in the upper layer. There is no effect of the weight of the parts.

[Effects] 1 When the heat insulator equipped with the partitions of the present invention is used, the cooked rice in the layer below the disk remains fluffy and delicious, just like the rice in the upper layer.

2 The rice in the lower layer does not affect the weight of the rice in the upper layer, the hot water, etc., and the rice does not stick together, so it is as easy to serve as in the upper layer.
When using the conventional type, the food would peck at each other as it went to the bottom of the heat insulator, which could cause tendinitis for the person serving the food if he was busy using shiyamoji to serve the food.

3. The amount of rice served can be saved.

4. Since it is a simple device, it is easy to manufacture.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] In the inner pot of a normal rice warmer, the inner diameter of the lower layer is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the upper layer from the half-height position, and the inner diameter of the lower layer is slightly smaller than that of the upper layer of the inner pot. A cooked rice warmer equipped with a partition, characterized in that the partition is provided with a plurality of holes of about 10 mm to about 35 mm in a circular plate slightly larger than the inner diameter.
