EXAMPLE A rice cooker according to the present invention has the following configuration, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 7.

A rice storage tank 14 having a rice weighing-out mechanism 12 is provided above one side (right side in FIG. 1) in the base frame 16. In the present embodiment, the rice weighing-out mechanism 12 of the rice storage tank 14 is composed of a weighing-out roller 20 which is appropriately provided with a groove 18 having a predetermined depth on the outer peripheral surface thereof. It is provided at the bottom.

The weighing-out roller 20 is appropriately rotated by a motor 22 or the like to carry out the rice downward by a fixed amount. In addition, the rice storage tank 14 has an inverted cone shape that is open at the top and tapers downward so that the rice can be easily carried out downward. Further, a vibrating tool 17 is provided for facilitating the discharging of the rice filled in the side portion of the rice storage tank 14 downward.

Below the rice storage tank 14, a rice washing tank 30 having a water supply mechanism 24, a drainage mechanism 26 and a stirring blade 28 is provided. The rice washing tank 30 of this embodiment has an inverted cone shape with an upper opening and an opening / closing valve 31 at the lower end, which tapers downward.

The on-off valve 31 is closed when washing rice, and is opened when washing rice and filling water into an inner pot 34 described later.

A water supply pipe that is a water supply mechanism 24 is provided above the opening of the rice washing tank 30, and a drainage pipe that is a drainage mechanism 26 is provided on the upper side surface and the lower side surface of the rice washing tank 30. A mesh plate 27 for preventing the outflow of rice is interposed in the pipe portion of the drainage mechanism 26 on the lower side surface of the rice washing tank 30.

The water supply into the rice washing tank 30 is controlled by a float sensor 33 provided in communication with the side portion of the rice washing tank 30.

A first support 36 for supporting an inner pot 34 provided with a dedicated lid 32 is provided below the rice washing tank 30. The exclusive lid 32 of this embodiment is provided with an opening / closing hole 38 that opens when washing rice and filling water.

An outer pot 40 is provided below the first support 36 so as to be vertically movable and laterally movable.

A rice cooking mechanism 42 is provided at the tip of the outer pot 40 in the lateral movement direction (left side in FIG. 1). The rice cooking mechanism 42 of the present embodiment is of gas type and is directly attached to the outer pot 40 to cook rice at the tip of the outer pot 40 in the lateral movement direction.

A stripping mechanism 44 is provided above the rice cooking mechanism 42. The purging mechanism 44 of the present embodiment is a second support tool for supporting the inner pot 34 on which the exclusive lid 32 is provided.

The stripping mechanism 44 is provided with a take-out mechanism 46 for taking out the inner pot 34 after the stripping is finished.

In this embodiment, when the inner pot 34 is washed with water and filled with water, the outer pot 40 is raised to open / close the opening 38 of the exclusive lid 32 provided on the inner pot 34 and the rice washing tank. The on-off valve 31 of 30 can be opened, the inner pot 34 can be washed and filled with water, and the inner pot 34 can be mounted in the outer pot 40. At this time, the opening / closing valve 31 and the opening / closing hole 38 are closed simultaneously with the lowering of the outer pot 40.

After lowering the outer pot 40 to which the inner pot 34 filled with the washed rice and water is attached, the outer pot 40 is moved to the rice cooking position (the tip of the outer pot 40 in the lateral movement direction), and after cooking, the outer pot 40 1 is lifted together with the inner hook 34, and the inner hook 34 is locked to the second support tool which is the stripping mechanism 44, and then only the outer hook 40 is lowered and moved laterally to move it to the original position (lower right side in FIG. 1). People).

The control of each component is performed by the sensors 48, 49, 51 of each part, as shown in FIG. Reference numeral 48 is a solenoid valve, 49 is a phototube switch, and 51 is a limit switch. Further, it is not necessary to install the sensors 48, 49, 51 at the same locations as in this embodiment.

In the figure, 50 is a lift motor, 52 is a stirring blade rotary motor, and 54 is a control board.

When the rice cooker according to the present invention is used, the four steps of weighing and washing rice, hot water, rice cooking, and murashi can be performed simultaneously, and the rice in one inner pot 34 is removed every 20 minutes. Cook up. According to the conventional device, the rice in the inner pot 34 is cooked up every 60 minutes, so that the rice cooking device of the present invention is more efficient.

Further, although the rice cooker 42 of this embodiment is of gas type and is directly mounted on the outer pot 40, it may be of electric type or may not be directly mounted on the outer pot 40.

[0034]

[Effect of the device]

 According to the rice cooker of the present invention, the rice filled in the rice storage tank is carried into the rice washing tank by the weighing-out mechanism, water is supplied to the rice washing tank, and the rice is washed by stirring and then draining the rice. , Supply new water and let it stand for a certain period of time, then fill the inner pot with a special lid with this washed rice and water, and load this inner pot into the outer pot, and then to the rice cooking mechanism. It can be moved to cook rice, and after cooking, the inner pot can be moved to the stripping mechanism and spotted for a predetermined period of time. It is possible and efficient.

Moreover, since the rice can be easily cooked by presetting the time for the spotty, the rice, and the hot water, it is possible to drastically reduce the burden on the operator without requiring the skill of the operator.
