す。Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the figure, 1 is a heater that is a heat source for cooking rice, 2 is a control means for controlling the heating amount of this heater 1, and 3 is for detecting the pressure inside the container 5 during the rice cooking state, and sending a signal to the control means 2. The pressure sensor 4 is an operation unit that adjusts the hardness of the cooked rice, and allows you to control the amount of cooked rice such as ``standard'', ``hard'', and ``soft''. 6 is a steam vent that releases steam generated during cooking, 7
is a steam adjusting means that adjusts the amount of steam removed from the container 5 in the steam venting section 6 in accordance with the settings of the operating section 4 during rice cooking. Various configurations can be considered for the steam adjustment means 7, such as adjusting the degree of opening by means of a shutter configuration. Reference numeral 8 denotes a rice cooker lid having the above-mentioned control means 2, pressure sensor 3, operation part 4, steam vent 6 and steam adjustment means 7; 9 a rice cooker body containing the heater 1 and the container 5; 10 a rice cooker body inside the container 5; Showing rice and water.
次に、上記構成の炊飯器の動作について説明する。操作
部４によって「標準」「かため」「やわらかめ」のうち
、例えば「かため−ノを選択したとすると、容器５内の
水分量を初期状態（洗米後、容器がセットされた「標準

、炊飯時の容器５内の圧力を下げると、炊きあがりがお
いしくない。そこで「かため」の米を炊くために、徐々
に容器５内の水分を外部に出すよう蒸気調整手段７の作
用により蒸気抜き口６を大きくするものである。Next, the operation of the rice cooker having the above configuration will be explained. For example, if you select "Hard" from among "Standard,""Hard," and "Soft" using the operation unit 4, the moisture content in the container 5 will be set to the initial state ("Standard" when the container is set after washing rice). However, if you lower the pressure inside the container 5 during cooking, the rice will not be as delicious.So, in order to cook the rice "firmly", gradually increase the pressure inside the container 5. The steam vent port 6 is enlarged by the action of the steam regulating means 7 so that the moisture in the steam can be discharged to the outside.
ここで、蒸気抜き口６を大きくすると容器５内の圧力が
低下するため、常に容器５内の圧力を圧力センサ３によ
り検出し、この圧力センサ３が制御手段２に信号を送る
。信号が送られてきた制御手段２は、容器５内の圧力を
上昇させるために、熱源であるヒーター１の加熱量を制
御し、所定の圧力になるようにする。この一連の動作に
よって「かため」のご飯を炊くことができる。Here, if the steam vent port 6 is enlarged, the pressure inside the container 5 decreases, so the pressure inside the container 5 is always detected by the pressure sensor 3, and this pressure sensor 3 sends a signal to the control means 2. The control means 2, to which the signal has been sent, controls the amount of heating of the heater 1, which is a heat source, in order to increase the pressure inside the container 5, so that a predetermined pressure is achieved. This series of actions allows you to cook ``hard'' rice.
次に、操作部４によって、「やわらかめ」が選択される

。これは水を追加するのではなく、蒸気として容器５内

。そこで、炊飯時には「やわらかめ」のご飯を炊くため
に、容器５内の水分を外部にあまり出さないように蒸気

段２は、容器５内の圧力が異常てないかを判断し、所定
の圧力になるようにヒーター１を制御する。この一連の
動作によって「やわらかめ」のご飯を炊（ことができる
。Next, when "soft" is selected by the operation unit 4, the amount of water in the container 5 must be made larger than the initial state (the "standard" state in which the container is set after washing the rice). This is not done by adding water, but by reducing the amount of steam flowing out from the container 5 as steam. Therefore, in order to cook "soft" rice when cooking rice, the steam vent port 6 is made small by the action of the steam regulating means 7 so as not to let out too much moisture in the container 5 to the outside. As a result, the pressure inside the container 5 increases, so the pressure inside the container 5 is constantly detected by the pressure sensor 3.
sends a signal to the control means 2. The control means 2, to which the signal has been sent, determines whether the pressure inside the container 5 is abnormal or not, and controls the heater 1 to maintain a predetermined pressure. This series of actions allows you to cook ``soft'' rice.
最後に、操作部４によって「標準」が選択されると、容
器５内の水分量を初期状態（洗米後、容器がセットされ

加減のご飯が得られる。Finally, when "Standard" is selected by the operation unit 4, if rice is cooked with the moisture content in the container 5 in the initial state ("Standard" state with the container set after rice washing!?), "Standard" is selected. You can get rice with just the right amount of firmness.
