Description

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

[Conventional technology]

The parts to which various electrical components of an electric pot, such as a reboiling switch, its operation buttons, and various indicator lamps, are attached include an outer lid, a shoulder body, a body, and the like. When these parts are attached to the outer lid, lead wires must be wired between the pot body and the outer lid, which causes the inconvenience that the outer lid cannot be attached or removed. For this reason, when the outer lid is removable, it is usually attached to the shoulder or torso.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, it has been common for conventional outer lids to have an upper cover for the water supply section integrated with the front portion of the outer lid.
As long as the top cover is integrated with the outer lid, if the outer lid is removable, electrical components cannot be attached to the top cover, so in the conventional case, the only option was to attach it to the shoulder or torso, which is lower than the top cover. .

However, since the position lower than the top cover is below the overflow line of the pot, if you accidentally overflow water when supplying water to the pot, electrical components may come into contact with the water, causing problems such as electric shock or corrosion. It was hot.

Therefore, this idea was developed by providing a mounting part for electrical components on the pot body side and at a position higher than the overflow line in an electric pot with a removable outer lid.
The purpose is to solve the above problems.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above problems, this idea
In an electric pot in which the outer cover 1 is detachably attached to the shoulder body 2, the upper cover 4 of the pot water supply part 3 is attached to the shoulder body 2 at a position at or higher than the overflow line of the pot.
The electrical components are mounted on the inner surface of the upper cover 4, and a packing 19 is interposed between the lower end of the upper cover 4 and the nose portion 2'.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 shows an electric pot according to an embodiment of this invention, which includes an inner container 11 inside a body 10.
An outer cover 1 is attached to a shoulder body 2 provided on the upper part of the outer cover 1 by means of a hinge 12 so as to be openable and detachable.

Lifting pipe 13 pulled out from the bottom of the inner container 11
is the vertically rising part of the water quantity display section 14.
(See Fig. 4) and safety valve device 1.
It communicates with the water supply pipe 16 through the pipe 5. Water supply pipe 16
is arranged along the lower surface of the nose portion 2' of the shoulder body 2 extending forward of the pot, and a lower cover 17 is placed over the water supply pipe 16 from below and fitted onto the nose portion 2'. Further, an upper cover 4 is fixed to the upper part of the nose portion 2'.

The water supply section 3 is constituted by the safety valve device 15, the water supply pipe 16, the nose section 2', the lower cover 17, and the upper cover 4.

The upper cover 4 has a peripheral wall 18 hanging downward, and a gasket 19 is interposed between the lower end of the peripheral wall 18 and the nose portion 2' to maintain watertightness.

The above-mentioned nose portion 2' is, as shown in FIG.
It is located at the same height as the overflow line l of the pot, and therefore the upper cover 4 is at a position higher than the overflow line l. In the illustrated case, the lower end of the upper cover 4 is at the same height as the overflow line l, but if the nose portion 2' is formed higher than the overflow line l, the upper cover 4 is fixed at a position higher than the overflow line l. will be done.

As shown in FIG. 3, the inside of the upper cover 4 has a support tube 20 and a support plate 21 protruding from the lower surface of its upper wall, and a mounting member 22 to hold a reboil switch 23 and to operate the switch 23. Support tube 20
and the screw 24 inserted from below the mounting member 22 is screwed into the support cylinder 20 and fixed.

In addition, a pair of bearings 25 is provided in front of the support plate 21.
A hole 26 is formed in front of the bearing 25. The shaft 28 of the operating button 27 is inserted into the bearing 25, and the operating button 27 is inserted into the hole 26 from below, so that its upper end is exposed on the upper surface of the upper cover 4.

In actual manufacturing, the electrical components are first assembled inside the upper cover 4 and then fixed in place with the screws 24 .

Note that a display section such as a pilot lamp may be attached to the upper wall of the upper cover 4.

The outer lid 1 of the pot has an air pump 3 inside it.
0, and the bottom surface is supported by a lower plate 31 integral with the outer lid 1. In addition, a steam pipe 32 is attached to the lower surface of the lower plate 31, and the lower end opening 3 of the pipe 32 is
3 is opened to the upper surface of the inner container 11, and an inner lid 35 and a water stop device 36 are attached to the opening 33 via a bush 34. Further, an air pipe 37 is vertically movably passed through the lower plate 31, and its upper end communicates with the air pump 30, and its lower end communicates with the steam pipe 32. The air pipe 37 engages with a guide tube 39 formed on the upper plate 38 of the air pump 30, and the spring 40
is biased downward. Further, the lower end of the air pipe 37 is provided with a sealing member 41 that presses around the opening 33 .

Further, a locking device 42 for the outer cover 1 is provided between the front part of the outer cover 1 and the shoulder body 2.

The electric pot of this invention has the above-mentioned configuration, and at the same time as a normal electric pot, the push button 43 on the outer lid 1 is pressed down to activate the air pump 30, and by increasing the internal pressure of the inner container 11, hot water is supplied from the water supply pipe 16. Make it emit. In addition, if re-boiling is necessary, press button 27 and switch 23.
Activate and energize the heater.

When supplying water to the inner container 11 or discharging hot water, press the hook button 4 of the locking device 42 on the top lid 1.
4 to release the lock and open the top cover 1 (see Figure 5). At this time, even if water overflows from the overflow line 1, the water is blocked by the peripheral wall 18 and the gasket 19 of the upper cover 4 and will not enter the inside of the upper cover 4. Even in the event of an intrusion, the electrical components will be attached to the inner surface of the upper cover 4,
It is located above the flood line, so it does not come into contact with water.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, this invention attaches the outer cover 1 to the shoulder body 2 so as to be openable and closable, and fixes the top cover 4 of the pot water supply part 3 to the nose part 2' of the shoulder body 3 at a position at or above the overflow line L. By mounting electrical components on the inner surface of the upper cover 4 and interposing the gasket 19 between the peripheral wall 18 of the upper cover 4 and the nose portion 2', there is no risk that the electrical components will come into contact with water in the event of flooding. Therefore, causes of failure due to fear of electric shock, corrosion, etc. can be eliminated. Furthermore, since the operation section for the electrical components is located at the upper front of the pot, it is easier to operate compared to those provided on the body 10 or bottom body 45 of the pot. Further, by providing a display section on the upper cover 4, it becomes easier to check the display.

In addition, since the electrical components are attached to the inner surface of the cover 4 fixed to the nose portion 2' of the shoulder body 2, electrical wiring is simpler than when attached to the outer cover 1, and the outer cover 1 can be attached to the outer cover 1. It can be made into a detachable format.
