[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a liquid storage device.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 In the conventional liquid storage device, as in the case of the food warmer (food warmer) 1 shown in FIG. The faucet 5 which is a lead-out portion provided on the operation panel 4 on the front surface of the main body 1a of the food warmer 1 for holding water is opened, and water is provided at the front end of the bottom surface 3 by the inclination of the bottom surface 3 of the water tank 2. There is a device in which the faucet 5 is naturally discharged through a liquid discharge port 6, which is a liquid discharge port. The outlet 6 and the faucet 5 are communicated with each other via a pipe 5a, and the pipe 5a is detachably attached to the outlet 6 by a coupling member (not shown).

Here, this water tank 2 is inserted into the inside of the main body 1a through an opening 7 formed in the upper surface of the main body 1a. The formed flange portion 8 is fixed by screws (not shown) or the like and held.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in such a conventional liquid storage tank, a plate material such as stainless steel is bent so that the angle between the front wall surface and the bottom surface of the storage tank is set to 85 degrees in order to provide the bottom surface with an inclination. In this case, use a special jig for bending at 85 degrees, or use a commonly used jig for bending at a right angle to bend at 85 degrees depending on the feeling of the manufacturer. I had to do it.

However, when performing bending using a special jig in this way, the cost becomes higher because a special jig is newly required, and it depends on the feeling of the manufacturer. Therefore, there is a problem in that the machining dimensions are deviated and the next work such as welding is hindered.

An object of the present invention is to provide a liquid storage device having a liquid storage tank that can be formed by a simple sheet metal working.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 According to the present invention, a liquid storage tank having a flange portion on the outer periphery of the upper edge of a tank for storing liquid and a liquid discharge port on the bottom side of the tank, and an internal structure in which the liquid storage tank is supported by the flange portion And a main body provided with a lead-out portion for leading the liquid discharged from the liquid discharge port of the liquid storage tank to the outside, in which the flange portion is provided with a height difference, The liquid storage tank is attached to the main body in a tilted state so that the bottom surface is inclined toward the liquid discharge port.

[0008]

[Action]

 With this configuration, when a liquid storage tank having a flange portion with a height difference is attached to the main body of the liquid storage device, the liquid storage tank should be tilted so that its bottom surface is inclined toward the liquid discharge port. You can

[0009]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a food warmer according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side sectional view thereof. In the figure, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 3 indicate the same or corresponding portions.

In FIG. 1, on the operation panel 4, in addition to the faucet 5, a thermodial 9 for adjusting the water temperature in the water tank 2 of the food warmer 1, and an alarm for monitoring the amount of water (not shown) in the water tank 2 A lamp 10 and a power lamp 11 are provided.

In FIG. 2, reference numeral 12 is a rectangular water tank which is bent at a right angle by an ordinary jig without providing the bottom surface 3 with an inclination. Here, in the upper flange of the water tank 12, the rear flange 14 facing the front flange 13 on the operation panel 4 side is formed to have a predetermined length, for example, 10 mm. ..

Therefore, when the water tank 12 is inserted into the opening 7 of the main body 1a, due to the difference in height between the front flange 13 and the rear flange 14, the bottom surface 3 of the water tank 12 is tilted and the bottom surface 3 of the water tank 12 is located at the discharge port 6. It will be attached so as to be inclined.

Next, the water discharge operation of the food warmer provided with the water tank configured as described above will be described.

To drain the water in the water tank 12 of the food warmer 1, the faucet 5 of the operation panel 4 is opened. Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the water tank 12 is inclined to the edge portion 7a of the opening 7 formed on the upper surface of the main body 1a due to the difference in the lengths of the front flange 13 and the rear flange 14. It is installed.

Therefore, the water in the water tank 12 is naturally discharged from the faucet 5 through the discharge port 6 and the pipe 5 a provided at the front end of the bottom surface 3 due to the inclination of the water tank 12.

As described above, the water tank 12 having the bottom surface 3 formed in a rectangular shape without inclination and having the rear flange 14 longer than the front flange 13 by a predetermined length is attached to the main body 1a. Thereby, the water tank 12 can be inclined toward the discharge port 6 and the water in the water tank 12 can be naturally discharged.

In the above description, the food warmer is taken as an example of the liquid storage device, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a liquid such as a fryer for frying tempura and fries is stored and this liquid is stored. Needless to say, it can be applied to those that need to be emitted.

[0019]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, when a liquid storage tank having a flange portion with a height difference is attached to the liquid storage device body, the liquid storage tank is tilted so that its bottom surface is inclined toward the liquid discharge port. It can be in a closed state. By doing so, the liquid storage tank to be used can be formed by a simple sheet metal working, and the cost can be reduced.
