Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] This invention relates to a lid mounting structure for a pot, and particularly to a hinge structure for a lid of an electric pot.

[Conventional technology and its problems]

When draining water or hot water inside a pot, it is common to drain the pot by turning the pot upside down with the lid removed. However, in the conventional case, water can be drained from any part of the opening, so
There was a problem with water entering the steam vents and live parts formed in the pot body, causing malfunctions.

Therefore, the object of this invention is to solve the above problems by forming a drainage passage using the lid hinge.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, this invention has both ends of the handle rotatably attached to two opposite locations around the opening of the pot body, and the two ends of the handle are attached at 90 degrees around the center line of the pot body. A water supply part and a hinge recess facing the water supply part are provided on the periphery of the opening of the pot main body, and the hinge recess is provided in a range extending from the inner peripheral surface to the upper end surface of the opening periphery of the pot main body. The hinge part of the lid is detachably inserted into the hinge recess.

[Effect]

To drain the water inside the pot, remove the lid, turn the hinge recess downward, hold the handle with one hand, lift the bottom of the pot body with the other hand, tilt the container, and then press the hinge recess downward. to guide the flow of water.

〔Example〕

The attached drawing shows the case where this invention is applied to an electric air pot. This pot has an opening 2 on the upper end surface of a pot body 1, and a lid 3 is attached to the opening 2. The pot described above is configured so that by operating a discharge button 5 provided on the shoulder 4 of the pot body 1, an internal air pump is driven and hot water is discharged from a water supply section 6. Further, a steam hole 7 is provided on the upper surface of the shoulder portion 4.

A hinge recess 8 is formed on the periphery of the opening 2 at a position facing the water supply section 6 described above. The hinge recess 8 is formed over the peripheral edge 9 and the upper end surface 10 of the opening 2 .

Furthermore, bearing recesses 11 that are open to the peripheral wall 9 are formed on both end faces of the hinge recess 8 . Also,
Stoppers 12 integral with the peripheral wall 9 are formed at both ends of the hinge recess 8.

On the other hand, the lid 3 is provided with a protruding hinge portion 13 that fits into the hinge recess 8, and hinge pins 14 are integrally provided at both ends of the hinge portion 13. The hinge pin 14 may be a separate piece that is integrally attached to the hinge portion 13. Furthermore, locking portions 15 are formed on both side surfaces of the hinge portion 13 at positions rearward of the hinge pins 14 .

Although not shown, a hook device is incorporated in the lid 3, and the hook of the hook device engages with the engagement recess 16 formed in the peripheral wall 9 of the opening 2 when the lid 3 is closed. It's starting to match. The hook device is operated by grasping the knob head 18 exposed in the recess 17 (see FIG. 1) in the upper surface of the lid 3 with the tips of the fingers.

Further, a handle 19 is rotatably attached to the outer peripheral surface of the opening 2. A step 20 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the shoulder portion 4 rearward from the attachment portion of the handle 19 over half the circumference, and the handle 19 can be rotated until it hits the step 20. Further, a stopper 21 having a certain inclination angle is formed in front of the attachment portion of the handle 19, and when the handle 19 hits the stopper 21, further rotation is prevented (see FIG. 5).

The electric air pot of the embodiment has the above-mentioned configuration, and when pouring water into the pot or draining water, grasp the knob head 18 and press the pot body 1.
At the same time, the lid 3 is rotated rearward about the hinge pin 14. When the lid 3 is rotated beyond a certain angle, the upper surface of the lid 3 comes into contact with the upper end of the hinge recess 8 and engages the engaging portion 1, as shown in FIG.
5 hits the stopper 12 to hold the lid 3 in the maximum open state.

The hinge recess 8 of the lid 3 can be opened at any angle during opening and closing, except in the closed state and the above-mentioned maximum open state.
It can be removed from

Further, when draining the water inside, remove the lid 3 and direct the hinge recess 8 downward as shown in FIG. 6, so that the recess 8 serves as a flow guide. In this case, hold the handle 19 with one hand and lift the bottom of the pot body 1 with the other hand to drain the water. Since the handle 19 rotates forward and hits the stopper 21, the pot body 1 is held stably.

[Effect of the invention]

As mentioned above, this idea is based on the handle mounting part and the 90mm
Hinge recesses are provided at different positions facing the water supply part, and the lid is removably attached to the hinge recesses, so when draining water, remove the lid and hold the handle. When the pot body is tilted, the hinge recess naturally points downward (see Figure 6), and the hinge recess serves as a flow guide.
This has the effect of preventing water from entering the steam vents and charging parts.
