 This kind of pot device is provided with a container in the pot body, the water contained in the container is heated by a heating mechanism to boil into high-temperature hot water, and this hot water is poured out through the hot water discharge mechanism at any time. You can do it. When supplying water to the container, bring the entire pot device to the kitchen sink, open the opening at the top of the container, and through this opening, use the water outlet of the sink to enter the container. Pour an appropriate amount of water into the.

However, in such a conventional pot device, there is an inconvenience that it is necessary to bring the whole heavy pot device to a kitchen sink when replenishing water, and Since it gradually gets dirty with water stains, etc., it needs to be cleaned regularly, but since the container is placed inside the pot body, it is difficult to clean it.

Therefore, the applicant of the present invention provides a container for boiling water in the pot body so that the container can be freely inserted and removed, and when the water is supplied to the container or when cleaning the container, only the container is pulled out from the pot body and the operation is conveniently performed. I proposed a pot device that can do this.

To further explain this pot device, a hot water outlet is provided in the pot main body, and one end portion of the hot water outlet passage is arranged at a lower portion of the pot main body, and a normally closed first valve mechanism is provided at this one end. And the other end is located at the upper part of the pot body as a hot water outlet, and when the pot device falls, the hot water in the hot water outlet leaks from the hot water outlet at the upper part of the hot water outlet. A check valve is provided to prevent this.

On the other hand, a normally closed second valve mechanism connectable to the first valve mechanism is provided at the bottom of the container, and the second valve mechanism of the container is accommodated by the operation of storing the container in the pot body. The valve mechanism is connected to the first valve mechanism of the hot water discharge passage, and these valve mechanisms are opened respectively, whereby the inside of the container communicates with the hot water discharge passage, and the hot water boiled in the container is operated by the hot water discharge mechanism. Accordingly, the water is sequentially poured from the tap hole through the tap passage.

When the container is pulled out from the pot body, the first and second valve mechanisms separate from each other and close the valves, respectively, whereby the liquid (hot water or water) remaining in the container and the tap passage is ) Leakage is prevented respectively.

[0008]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in such a pot device, if the pot body is inverted upside down for the purpose of removing the liquid remaining in the hot water discharge passage, the check valve closes in the middle of the hot water discharge passage due to this inverted movement. Therefore, it is not possible to remove the liquid remaining in the hot water discharge passage, that is, it is impossible to drain water, so that when the pot body is left for a long period of time or stored, There is a problem that germs propagate in the remaining liquid and become unsanitary when reused.

The present invention has been made in view of such a point, and an object thereof is a container insertion / removal type in which water can be appropriately drained from the tap water passage and can be managed hygienically. Is to provide a pot device.

[0010]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve such an object, the present invention has a pot main body having a hot water outlet and a lid at the upper end, a container removably housed in the pot main body, and a container inside the container. Heating mechanism for heating the liquid, a normally closed first valve mechanism provided at one end of the hot water passage, and an operation provided at the bottom of the container for containing the container in the pot body.

A bypass passage communicating with each other, and the first valve mechanism and the second valve mechanism are opened by an operation in which the both are connected to each other to communicate the inside of the container with the hot water passage, and the bypass passage is When the lid is closed, it is closed, and when it is opened, it is opened. Than it is.

[0011]

[Action]

 When replenishing water in the container or cleaning the container, open the lid and pull out the container from the pot body. Then, bring this container to a kitchen sink to replenish it with water, or wash it with water to clean it.

When the container is inserted into the pot body after water supply and cleaning are completed, this operation connects the first valve mechanism in the pot body to the second valve mechanism of the container to open the respective valves. However, this allows the inside of the container to communicate with the inside of the hot water outlet. Then, the hot water boiled in the container is poured out through the hot water discharge passage by the operation of the hot water discharge mechanism. At this time, the bypass passage is closed by the lid, so that the hot water flowing in the tap passage does not flow out from the bypass passage.

On the other hand, for example, when the pot device is left for a long period of time or stored, the container is first pulled out from the pot body and the liquid (hot water or water) in the container is discarded. Then, with the lid open, the pot body is lifted by hand and turned upside down.

At this time, the bypass passage is opened by opening the lid, and the inside of the hot water outlet passage communicates with the atmosphere through this bypass passage. Therefore, in this state, the first valve mechanism is operated with a fingertip or the like. When the valve is opened, the liquid remaining in the hot water passage will flow out sequentially through the bypass passage. That is, water can be drained from the tap passage, and therefore the pot device can be managed hygienically.

Then, the horizontal surface portion of the lower surface of the lid body 5 closed to the upper surface of the support frame 3 is pressure-bonded to the upper end portion of the packing 71, whereby the opening 71a is sealed.

Reference numeral 73 is a control circuit section for controlling the main heater 9a, the sub-heater 9b, the electric pump 15, etc., 74 is an operation section for the control circuit section 73, and the hot water button 74a and the like are arranged on the operation section 74. ing. Next, the operation will be described.

At normal times, as shown in FIG. 2, both the first and second valve mechanisms 18 and 19 are held in the open state, so that the inside of the container 11 communicates with the inside of the hot water outlet 12. Then, the water contained in the container 11 is heated by the main heater 9a and the sub-heater 9b and boils to be hot water. After that, the main heater 9a is de-energized, and the hot water in the container 11 is kept at a high temperature by the sub heater 9b.

Under such a state, when the hot water discharge button 74a of the operation portion 74 is operated, the electric pump 15 is activated and the hot water in the container 11 flows through the flow holes 28 of the inner cylinder 21 ... After passing through the through holes 27, the hot water outlet 12, the hot water outlet 13, and the water purifier 14, the water is poured outside. At this time, the bypass passage 70 branched from the hot water outlet passage 12 is closed via the lid 5, so that the hot water flowing through the hot water outlet passage 12 does not flow out of the bypass passage 70. When carrying the entire pot device, the handle 45 is raised as shown by the solid line in FIG. 1, and the work is performed by gripping the handle 45.

On the other hand, when replenishing the water in the container 11, first, the handle 45 is tilted to the front side of the pot body 1 as shown by the chain line in FIG. The body 5 is rotated upward to open the upper surface of the pot body 1. Then, the handle 45 is raised again, the handle 45 is grasped and the container 11 is pulled up and pulled out from the inside of the inner frame 8.

As shown in FIG. 3, the inner cylinder 21 of the second valve mechanism 19 comes out of the outer cylinder 20 of the first valve mechanism 18 as the container 11 is pulled out. The lower end surface of the second valve body 26 separates from the upper end surface of the first valve body 25, and accordingly, the second valve body 26 is pushed downward by the urging force of the second spring 31 to open and close. The valve 26a is in close contact with the valve seat 21a, thereby closing the inside of the inner cylinder 21, that is, closing the second valve mechanism 19 and thus preventing leakage even if hot water remains in the container 11. ..

Further, as the second valve body 26 is disengaged from the first valve body 25, the first valve body 25 is pushed upward by the urging force of the first spring 30 and the on-off valve 25a is opened. It is in close contact with the valve seat 20a, so that the inside of the outer cylinder 20 is closed, that is, the first valve mechanism 18 is closed, so that the hot water in the hot water outlet 12 is prevented from leaking from the outer cylinder 20. ..

When the container 11 is pulled out, the container 11 is often in a high temperature state, but since the container 11 can be pulled out through the handle 45, there is no risk of being burned or the like. It can be handled safely. In addition, the contact of the safety switch 51 is turned off in response to the removal of the container 11 and the energizing circuits of the main heater 9a and the sub heater 9b are always opened, so that the main heater 9a and the sub heater 9b generate heat when the container 11 is removed. There is no danger of doing so.

The container 11 thus extracted from the inner frame 8 is brought to a kitchen sink or the like, and water is replenished into the container 11 from a water outlet or the like. Then, the container 11 replenished with water is carried through the handle 45 onto a table or the like on which the pot body 1 is arranged, and the container 11 is made to face the opening at the upper end of the inner frame 8 so that the container 11 is placed inside the inner frame 8. To store. The container 11 housed in the inner frame 8 descends while being guided by the inner peripheral surface of the inner frame 8, and with this lowering, the inner cylinder 21 of the second valve mechanism 19 changes to the outer cylinder 20 of the first valve mechanism 18. While entering the inside, the lower end surface of the second valve body 26 abuts on the upper end surface of the first valve body 25, and the first and second springs 30 and 31 elastically move in response to the abutment. And the elastic forces of the two springs 30 and 31 are balanced, and the balance causes the on-off valve 25a of the first valve body 25 to separate from the valve seat 20a of the outer cylinder 20, The on-off valve 26 a of 26 is held in a state of being separated from the valve seat 21 a of the inner cylinder 21. That is, both the first and second valve mechanisms 18 and 19 are opened, so that the inside of the container 11 and the inside of the hot water outlet 12 communicate with each other.

When the container 11 is housed in the inner frame 8 as described above, the inner cylinder 21 of the second valve mechanism 19 and the outer cylinder 20 of the first valve mechanism 18 are connected to each other, so that the inside of the container 11 and the hot water outlet 12 are connected. The inner cylinder 21 is arranged on the central axis of the container 11, the outer cylinder 20 is arranged on the central axis of the inner frame 8, and the container 11 is arranged inside the inner frame 8. Since it descends while being guided by the peripheral surface, the inner cylinder 21 can be automatically and accurately connected to the outer cylinder 20 without requiring alignment of the inner cylinder 21 and the outer cylinder 20.

On the other hand, when cleaning the container 11, the container 11 is removed from the inner frame 8 as in the case described above, and the container 11 is brought into a kitchen sink or the like and washed with water. Since the container 11 is separated from the pot body 1 and is in a single state, the container 11 can be washed with water and the inner surface of the container 11 is coated with a fluororesin, so that the stain itself The stains are hard to attach, and the stains can be easily removed with a light force, so that the container 11 can be easily and efficiently cleaned. Needless to say, such cleaning of the container 11 can be performed at the same time when water is supplied to the container 11.

In addition, in both the case of supplying water to the container 11 and the case of cleaning, only the lightweight container 11 separated from the pot body 1 needs to be brought into the kitchen sink through the handle 45. The work can be performed easily and easily compared with the case where the whole heavy pot device is brought in.

After the container 11 is housed in the inner frame 8, the handle 45 is tilted to the front side of the pot body 1, and in this state, the lid body 5 is rotated to close on the upper surface of the pot body 1 and locked. Locked by mechanism 6. Then, when carrying the entire pot device, the handle 45 is erected and the work is performed through the handle 45.

As described above, the handle 45 provided on the container 11 can be used both for extracting, storing, and carrying the container 11 and as a handle for carrying the entire pot apparatus, and therefore the pot body 1 Since there is no need to provide a separate handle for this, it has the advantages of simplifying the configuration, facilitating assembly, and reducing manufacturing costs.

On the other hand, for example, when the pot device is left for a long period of time or stored, the container 11 is first removed from the pot body 1 and the liquid (hot water or water) in the container 11 is discarded. Then, with the lid 5 open, the pot body 1 is lifted upside down by hand. When the lid body 5 is opened, the lower surface of the lid body 5 is separated from the opening 71a of the packing 71, and thus the opening 71a is opened. By this opening, the inside of the hot water passage 12 is passed from the bypass passage 70 to the atmosphere through the opening 71a. Communicate.

Under such a state, the first valve body 25 of the first valve mechanism 18 is pushed against the spring 30 with a fingertip or the like. As a result, the first valve mechanism 18 is opened so that one end of the hot water outlet 12 communicates with the atmosphere, and therefore the liquid remaining in the hot water outlet 12 flows through the bypass passage 70 and sequentially flows out from the opening 71a. To do. That is, the drainage passage 12 can be drained. At this time, since the outflow port 64 of the check valve 62 is sealed by the valve body 66, the liquid in the hot water outlet 12 does not flow out from the hot water outlet 13.

After draining the water in the hot water outlet 12 in this way, the pot body 1 is erected, the container 11 is housed in the pot body 1, and the lid 5 is closed. By such a drainage process, the pot device can be managed hygienically, and when the pot device is reused, the inside of the hot water outlet 12 is empty, so the pot device is hygienically used. be able to.

In the above-described embodiment, the bypass passage is led out from the valve case of the check valve arranged in the hot water outlet passage. However, even when the bypass passage is led out from the other portion of the hot water outlet passage. Well, the bypass passage was provided with a tubular packing, and the lower surface of the lid was brought into close contact with the opening of this packing to close the bypass passage.However, for example, a flat packing was attached to the lower surface of the lid, It is also possible to make the packing close to the opening at the end of the bypass according to the closing of the lid to close the bypass.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the heat radiation type heating mechanism for heating the container by the radiant heat of the heater has been described as an example. However, a hot plate made of, for example, aluminum die casting in which the heater is cast is provided. It is also possible to use a heating plate type heating mechanism in which the heating plate is brought into direct contact with the outer bottom surface of the container and the heat of the heater is conducted to the container through the heating plate to heat the container. The hot water discharge mechanism for discharging the hot water in the container from the hot water outlet also uses the electric pump as in the above-described embodiment, and also sends pressurized water to the liquid surface in the container to discharge the hot water. It is also possible to use an air pump or the like.
