Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention relates to a device that uses an electric kettle currently on the market and has a steam sterilization box attached to the electric kettle.

"Prior Art" Conventional household electric kettles have an exhaust port provided in the kettle lid.

``The problem that the invention aims to solve'' When cooking rice, the electric rice cooker that is commonly used in homes today releases a large amount of unnecessary steam from the exhaust port on the pot lid, and the steam exhausted from this exhaust port is wasted. It was used. In addition, grains of rice stuck to the shamoji after use, and when the rice grains dried, they stuck to the shamoji and could not be easily removed even when washed.

``Means to solve the problem'' In order to effectively utilize such steam, attach a cover to the exhaust port, and connect a relay hose from the cover to the disinfection box or siyamoji case via the fluid directional valve. When cooking rice in an electric pot, a large amount of steam released from the exhaust port of the pot lid is introduced into a sterilization box or siyamoji case to disinfect tableware such as bowls, chopsticks, forks, spoons, etc. placed in this box. Steam sterilization is performed, and a water collection basin is installed at the bottom of each sterilization box or case to collect and dispose of condensed water after sterilization to maintain cleanliness and hygiene.

The main purpose of this invention is to use this powerful waste steam to disinfect household tableware such as bowls, chopsticks, forks, spoons, etc., to further ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of the tableware in use. It is to promote health. Even when the electric kettle leaves rice in this insulated pot, a small amount of steam is always emitted, and this small amount of steam is introduced into the siyamoji case where the used siyamoji is placed, and is attached to the used siyamoji. This prevents the rice grains from drying out, making it easier to wash the rice grains stuck to the shiyamoji, and improving the disadvantage of inconvenience when reusing the rice grains.

The device of the present invention, which is an electric kettle equipped with a steam sterilization box, is designed with a cover that is attached to the exhaust port of the electric kettle lid with strong compacting and firmly attached with screws, and this cover collects waste steam. Furthermore, a fluid directional valve is connected to the outlet pipe of the cover to guide the steam into the disinfection box or shell case according to the present invention. When an electric pot cooks rice, a large amount of water vapor is released from the exhaust port of the pot lid in about 25 minutes on average according to the inventor's test, so this steam is guided into the sterilization box and used to clean tableware such as bowls, etc.
Chopsticks, knives, forks, spoons, etc. can be thoroughly sterilized. In addition, when an electric kettle is kept warm under normal conditions and there is still rice left, a small amount of steam is exhausted, and this steam is guided into the siyamoji case by controlling the fluid direction valve and is attached to the siyamoji after use. It prevents rice grains from drying out and makes them easier to wash for next use. The sterilization box is designed as a double box to cope with high temperatures, and the inner box for placing dishes and directly sterilizing them with steam is made of metal material, and the bottom is made into a net shape. The outer box that houses the metal inner box is made of plastic material to prevent burns if touched by hand, and has a hopper-shaped bottom and water collection holes to collect water condensed from steam. are doing. Furthermore, a water collection board is attached to the bottom of each disinfection box or siyamoji case.
Condensed water is collected to maintain cleanliness and hygiene.

``Example'' FIG. 1 shows a device in which a disinfection box and a siyamoji case of the present invention are connected. In this figure, cover 7
The electric pot 1 is attached to the bottom of the flange 72 with a screw.
A telescopic relay hose 76 is attached with strong rubber packing fixed to the exhaust port 4 of the pot lid 2, and is relay-connected to the outlet pipe 71 to the inlet pipe 81 of the fluid directional valve 8.
is connected. The fluid direction valve 8 has two outlet pipes 82 and 83 and a lever 84. An arrow mark indicating the direction of steam exit is carved on the lever 84, and when the lever 84 is rotated toward one outlet pipe, , indicating that the inlet tube passes smoothly into one outlet tube, and the other outlet tube is sealed. When the lever 84 is rotated to a position intermediate between the outlet tubes, steam can flow into each outlet tube. The outlet pipe 82 is connected to the inlet pipe 5 of the shear moji case 5 via the relay hose 55.
Connected to 4. This siyamoji case 5 is
A siyamoji 57 is placed, the top is sealed with a lid 51, a large section 56 and a side section 52 are placed on the bottom, and it is slidably inserted into a water collection board 53 that collects and disposes of condensed water to maintain cleanliness. . The outlet pipe 83 is the relay hose 6
5 is connected to the inlet pipe 64 of the disinfection box 6, and the disinfection box 6 mainly disinfects tableware etc. placed in the disinfection box 6.
The structure of will be described later with reference to FIG.

FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the steam sterilization device of the present invention having a shell case 5, in which the flange 72 is connected to the mounting hole 7.
4 has a protrusion 73 with a hole, and a ring-shaped strong rubber packing 75 is pasted on the bottom.
It is hermetically fixed to the exhaust port 4 of the pot lid 2 with a bolt (not shown). Therefore, the discharged steam flows from the outlet pipe 71 via the relay hose 77 into the inlet pipe 54 of the siyamoji case 5, and sterilizes the siyamoji 57 placed in the case. A water collection tank 53 is provided on the bottom of the siyamoji case 5 to maintain cleanliness as described in the first section.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the present invention in which only the disinfection box 6 is installed, and the outlet pipe 71 of the cover 7 is connected to the inlet pipe 64 of the disinfection box 6 via a relay hose 78. This disinfection box 6 has a double box design, and an inner box 67 with a net-like bottom is made of metal material. , spoon, etc.)
The entire area is disinfected using steam. The outer box 66 in which the inner box 67 can be stored is made of plastic material, and has a safety protection function to prevent hands from coming into contact with the metal inner box 67 during steam sterilization. This outer box 66 has a hopper-shaped bottom surface for discharging condensed water after the disinfection effect of the steam that has flowed into the inner box 67, and a water collection hole 68 in the center, between two supporting legs 62 on the lower side of the bottom surface. An inward groove is provided in which a water collection board 63 for collecting and disposing of the condensed water is inserted.

"Effects of the invention" (1) The advantage is that the waste steam emitted when cooking rice in an electric rice cooker can be used to steam sterilize household tableware or other items that require sterilization.

(2) It can achieve the purpose of disinfection without requiring additional energy, and is beneficial for household hygiene and insurance.

(3) It also has the advantage that the rice grains stuck to the shiyamoji after use do not dry out and are easy to reuse or wash.
