Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily extract an pot after rice is boiled by providing a height adjusting means capable of adjusting the vertical height of the pot. CONSTITUTION:A heating type rice boiling device is provided with an inner pot receiving plate 15 opening or closing the upper face of a case 13. An inner pot receiving hole 16 is provided at the center section of the inner pot receiving plate 15, and a screw shaft receiving plate 18 engaged with a screw shaft 17 is integrally fitted. A reversible motor 19 rotating the screw shaft 17 positively or reversely is removably provided on a stay 20 fitted to the bottom wall of the case 13. A motor positive-rotation switch 21 and a motor reverse-rotation switch 22 are provided on the inner pot receiving plate 15. When a handle 12 is gripped and pulled to this side to get out a case 6 and the motor positive- rotation switch 21 is turned on after the rice boiling work is completed, the reversible motor 19 is positively rotated, the screw shaft 17 is moved to the upper side, and the inner pot receiving plate 15 is lifted. The inner pot 9 can easily be taken from the inner pot receiving plate 15.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a rice cooker for cooking rice using a pot.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A pot containing rice and water is provided at a low position.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, when removing the pot containing rice after cooking, the pot must be lifted from a low place, which is inconvenient.

[0004]

The present invention provides a rice cooker in which the pot can be easily taken out, and the following technical means have been taken. That is, it is equipped with a pot 1 for containing rice and water and a heating means for heating the pot 1,
The rice cooker is configured by providing height adjusting means capable of vertically adjusting the height.

[0005]

The pot 1 containing rice and water is heated by the heating means, and the rice cooking operation is finished after a predetermined time. The position of the shuttle 1 in the vertical direction can be adjusted by the height adjusting means.

[0006]

[Effect] Since the position of the pot 1 can be adjusted in the vertical direction by the height adjusting means, the pot 1 can be easily taken out after, for example, cooking rice.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First, the configuration will be described. The rice cooking device 2 is provided with a storage 4 for storing grains and a cleaning device 5 which are vertically arranged on an upper end portion of a frame 3 configured by framing the machine frame 1 and communicating with each other. The heating type rice cooking device 6 is provided below the cleaning device 5.

At the lower end of the storage 4, there is provided a feeding means (not shown) for feeding the grains to the cleaning device side by a fixed amount, and the cleaning device 2 has a cleaning tool installed rotatably therein. There is. Reference numeral 7 denotes a lid opening / closing piston which is provided in a part of the frame 3 so as to be vertically movable via moving means (pneumatic pressure, hydraulic pressure, motor, etc.) and is installed in the cylinder 8.
A lid 10 for opening and closing the inner pot 9 is attached to the lower end of the lid opening / closing piston 7.

In the heating type rice cooker 6, a handle 12 is provided on a front wall 11 and an upper surface is opened, and a box-shaped case 13 and a heating tool (gas stove in the embodiment) 14 provided on an upper surface of a bottom wall of the case 13. And an inner hook receiving plate 15 that moves up and down to open and close the upper surface of the case 13. An inner hook receiving hole 16 capable of receiving the upper portion of the outer surface of the inner hook 9 is provided in the central portion of the inner hook receiving plate 15, and a screw bearing plate 18 that meshes with a screw shaft 17 is integrally attached. .. Reference numeral 19 denotes a forward / reverse rotation motor for reversing the screw shaft 17 in the forward / reverse direction, which is detachably provided on a station 20 attached to the bottom wall of the case 13. It should be noted that a pair of left and right means for vertically moving the inner hook receiving plate 15 can be smoothly moved. 21 is an inner hook receiving plate 1
Reference numeral 5 denotes a motor forward rotation switch, and 22 denotes a motor reverse rotation switch.

Next, the operation will be described. First, a predetermined amount of grains (hereinafter referred to as rice in this embodiment) fed from the storage 4 to the washing device 5 by the feeding means is washed by the washing device 5 and then a predetermined amount of water for cooking rice in the inner pot. It is discharged to 9. Subsequently, the lid opening / closing piston 7 moves downward to cover the inner pot 9 with the lid 10, so that the ignition switch is turned "ON" to start the rice cooking operation. When the rice cooking work is finished after a predetermined time has elapsed, the lid opening / closing piston 7 moves upward and returns to the original position.

Then, the handle 12 is grasped and the pulling case 6 is pulled out from the frame 3 toward the front. Next, when the motor forward rotation switch 21 is turned "ON", the forward / reverse rotation motor 19 normally rotates to move the screw shaft 17 upward, so that the inner hook 9 is supported in connection therewith. Lift the inner hook receiving plate 15. When the motor forward rotation switch 21 is turned "OFF" when it has moved to a predetermined height, the forward / reverse rotation motor 19 also stops. Therefore, since the inner pot receiving plate 15 is held at this position, the operator can easily take out the inner pot 9 with rice from the inner pot receiving plate 15.

Thereafter, a separately prepared empty inner hook 9 may be set on the inner hook receiving plate 15, but the motor reversing switch 22
To "ON" to reverse the forward / reverse rotation motor 19. Then, in connection with this, the screw shaft 17 moves downward and returns to the original position, so that the inner hook receiving plate 15 also stops at a predetermined position on the upper surface of the case 6. Therefore, since the inner hook receiving plate 15 is at a low position,
The inner hook 9 can be easily and easily set in the inner hook receiving hole 16.

When the preparation is completed, the handle 12 is again grasped and the case 6 is pushed to set the frame 3 at a predetermined position, and the above-mentioned work is repeated. The rice cooker 2 of FIG. 4 is provided with heating type rice cookers 6 at predetermined intervals in the lateral direction, and an operation having various switches in the middle part between the two devices 6 and 6 behind the central part of the inner pot in the lateral direction. A panel 23 is provided. Further, a cleaning device (not shown) is provided in the middle of both devices 6 and 6, and a transfer device for transferring the grain cleaned by the cleaning device to the upper side (either a thrower or a spiral, not shown)
A grain guide cylinder 24 is provided at the upper end of the. Further, the grain guide tube 24 is provided so that the outlet 25 can be repositioned above the inner pot and in the middle of both heating type rice cooking devices 6.
Reference numeral 26 is a grain insertion portion provided on the front wall of the frame 27 so as to be openable and closable.

By arranging in this way, the rice cooker 2 can be made compact and the operation panel 23 can be constructed.
Since it is set back from the center of the inner hook, it is easy to set the hook.
