Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to an electric hot plate used for cooking heat of meat and vegetables.

(Prior Art) This kind of electric hot plate is composed of a flat protective frame and a cooking plate detachably accommodated in the protective frame. Then, the cooking plate is heated by the heater, and in this state, an object to be cooked such as meat and vegetables is placed on the cooking plate for cooking. After cooking, remove the cooking plate from the protective frame and wash it with water.

The upper edge of the cooking plate is close to and opposed to the upper edge of the protective frame. Therefore, it is difficult to insert the fingertip into the lower surface of the upper edge of the cooking plate to remove the cooking plate from the protective frame. For this reason, in the past, a spring mechanism was provided near the one end of the inner bottom portion of the protection frame, and when the cooking plate was taken out, this spring mechanism was activated to push up one end side of the cooking plate upwards, thereby cooking. Allows the plate to be taken out.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, in the structure in which the spring mechanism is incorporated in the inner bottom portion of the protective frame as described above, the structure is complicated and expensive,
In addition, the spring mechanism has to be operated each time the cooking plate is taken out, which makes the operation troublesome and troublesome. Therefore, the upper edge of the cooking plate is arranged so as to largely project from the upper surface of the protective frame, and a large gap is provided between the upper edge of the cooking plate and the upper edge of the protective frame so that a fingertip can be inserted. However, with such means, the overall height dimension of the hot plate becomes large, and the usability when it is placed on a table and used is reduced.

The present invention was made in view of such a point, and the cooking plate can be easily and quickly taken out from the protective frame with a simple structure, and the height of the entire plate can be increased. It is intended to provide no electric hotplate.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve such an object, this invention has a cooking frame in which a cooking plate is detachably accommodated, and the upper edge of the cooking plate is a protective frame. What is provided so as to face the upper end peripheral edge in close proximity to the upper peripheral edge of the protective frame, and is provided with an insertion concave portion into which a fingertip can be inserted, and a handle protruding from the arrangement portion of the insertion concave portion to the outside of the protective frame. Is.

(Operation) In the electric hot plate having such a structure, the cooking plate can be easily taken out from the protection frame by inserting the fingertip into the insertion recess of the protection frame and supporting and lifting the cooking plate with the fingertip. . Therefore, a mechanical mechanism such as a spring mechanism is not necessary, and since it is a means for forming an insertion recess at the upper edge of the protective frame, the overall height dimension does not increase. Further, since the handle used for carrying the protective frame is provided so as to project outward from the portion where the insertion recess is arranged, the arrangement position of the insertion recess is visually apparent based on this handle. Therefore, it is possible to immediately take out the cooking plate when the cooking plate is taken out, without wondering where to locate the insertion recess.

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

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a protective frame. The protective frame 1 is made of a heat-resistant synthetic resin and formed into a flat, substantially dish shape. A heat shield plate 2 is attached and fixed to the middle portion of the protective frame 1. A recess 3 is formed in the center of the heat shield plate 2, and the heat plate 4 is fitted and fixed in the recess 3. The hot plate 4 is made of, for example, aluminum die cast, and a heater 5 is attached to the bottom surface by caulking, and the entire hot plate 4 is heated by the heater 5.

A metal cooking plate 6 formed in a thin plate shape is detachably accommodated in the protective frame 1. The cooking plate 6 is placed on the upper surface of the heating plate 4, and the peripheral edge of the upper end is the protective frame 1.
Are arranged so as to be close to and opposed to the upper edge of the.
When the cooking plate 6 and the heating plate 4 come into contact with each other, the heating plate 4
Is conducted to the cooking plate 6 and the cooking plate 6 is heated to a predetermined temperature.

A decorative edge 7 having a substantially L-shaped cross section that protrudes outward is integrally formed along the peripheral edge of the upper edge of the protective frame 1.
On the upper surface of the decorative edge 7, insertion recesses 8,8 into which fingertips can be inserted are formed so as to be located on opposite sides of the cooking plate 6 with the central portion thereof interposed therebetween, and these insertion recesses 8,8 are further provided.
Handles 9 and 9 are integrally formed so as to project outward from the arrangement portion of the handle. These handles 9,9 are used when carrying a hot plate, etc., and the top surface is almost the same position as the inner bottom surface of the insertion recesses 8,8, and the shape seen from the front is a convex circle. It is slightly curved in an arc shape.

In addition, 10 is a ventilation hole formed in the center of the bottom surface of the protective frame 1.

When using the hot plate configured as described above, the heater 5 is energized to heat the cooking plate 6 via the hot plate 4, and the top surface of the cooking plate 6 is cooked such as meat or vegetables. And cook. Then, when cooking is completed and the cooking plate 6 is cleaned, fingertips are respectively inserted into the insertion recesses 8, 8 of the protective frame 1, the cooking plate 6 is horizontally supported and lifted by these fingertips, and such an operation is performed. The cooking plate 6 is taken out from the protective frame 1 and washed with water. At this time, the cooking plate 6 is separated from the heating plate 4 having the heater 5 into a single state, and thus the cooking plate 6 can be washed with tap water or the like.

By the way, the grips 9 and 9 project outward from the parts where the insertion recesses 8 and 8 are arranged.
The arrangement position of the insertion recesses 8 and 8 can be determined at a glance based on the above, and therefore the arrangement position of the insertion recesses 8 and 8 can be immediately taken out when the cooking plate 6 is taken out, without being lost.

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the heating plate having the heater is provided in the protective frame and the cooking plate is heated through the heating plate. However, the heating plate is integrally provided with the heater. Alternatively, the cooking plate may be heated by this heater.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the protection frame is provided with a simple structure in which the insertion recess is simply formed at the upper edge of the protection frame without using a mechanical mechanism such as a spring mechanism. It is possible to easily and efficiently take out the cooking plate from the inside. Further, since the handle protrudes from the portion where the insertion recess is arranged, the arrangement position of the insertion recess can be clearly determined based on this handle and the cooking plate can be immediately taken out from the protective frame. Further, since it is a means for forming the insertion recess at the upper edge of the protective frame, the overall height dimension of the hot plate does not particularly increase, and therefore the usability is improved.
