[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the electric pot, the structure as described above is adopted to ensure the safety when the pot falls, but since the lid may suddenly close, It is possible that

That is, for example, when the lid body is opened immediately after boiling water is boiled, but the lid body is accidentally tilted and abruptly closed, the ball-shaped outflow prevention valve causes the steam hole to open due to inertia when closed. Block. At the same time, in the outflow prevention valve that closed the steam hole, the lid body is accelerated by tilting own weight and closes the container body in a pressurized state, so normally it will come off from the steam hole due to its vibration at the completion of closing, but the container body Since the inside is compressed and receives this pressurizing action, it does not come off from the steam holes and remains in a closed state. Then, since the heating state after boiling continues, the pressure in the container body rises at once, and the outflow prevention valve maintains a further close contact state by receiving this pressure. As a result, there is a risk that the high temperature content liquid is naturally discharged from the content liquid pouring path due to the pressure increase in the container body.

Therefore, according to the invention, when the lid is closed, the lid is shifted so as not to be closed all at once so as to be in an open state, and the rise of the internal pressure is prevented. An object is to provide an electric pot that can prevent inconvenience.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] Means for solving the above-mentioned problems will be described with reference to FIG. 1 showing an embodiment. The structure thereof has a container body 2 having a content liquid pouring path and a vapor discharging path. At the same time, an electric pot in which a lid 7 having an outflow prevention valve that closes the vapor discharge path at the time of tipping is pivotally attached via open / close portions 8 and 9 and is pivotally attached to the container body 2. The portion 8 is formed with a bearing portion 8a having a substantially long hole shape in a side view and capable of holding the pivot shaft 17 of the lid body 7 in an inclined state, and the pivot portion 9 of the lid body 7 is connected to the pivot shaft 17 and the pivot portion 17. It is composed of two support plates 18 and 19 that support the left and right of the pivot shaft 17, and one of these two support plates and the opposing portion of the container body 2 that opposes the support plate, At least before the closing of the lid body 7, the tilting shaft 17 is tilted to shift the lid body 7 so that the lid body 7 is in an open state. Characterized in that 18b is an electric kettle forming the.

[0007]

In other words, according to the above construction, when the lid is tilted to close the lid, the pivot shaft of the lid rotates on the bearing portion of the container body and is formed on the support plate. The contact portion tilts the pivot shaft on the bearing portion and shifts the lid body to open the lid before the lid body is closed. Therefore, even if the lid accidentally tilts from the open position and tries to close it, by forming the open state at the position of the closing front stage, the compressing action due to the tilting of the lid is avoided, and the steam hole of the outflow prevention valve is prevented. Avoid close contact.

[0008]

As a result of the above, according to the present invention, the pressure in the container body does not suddenly rise even if the lid is closed with a slam, so that the vapor discharge path is blocked. It is possible to prevent an unexpected situation in which the high temperature content liquid is naturally discharged.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 shows an electric pot 1. As shown in the figure, the electric pot 1 has a tank 3 inside a container body 2 and a cap portion 4 formed at the upper end of the tank 3.

The above-mentioned tank 3 is heated by the heater 5 mounted on the lower outer peripheral wall to turn the content liquid into hot water, and the tank 3 is heated.
The content liquid flows out to the outside through the content liquid discharge passage 6 connected from the bottom surface of the. A lid 7 is openably and closably attached to the base portion 4 through pivoting portions 8 and 9 on the rear side, and a closed state is locked on the front side.

The lid 7 is provided with an airtight lid 10 on its lower surface, and a seal ring 11 is attached to the periphery of the airtight lid 10 so as to be in pressure tight contact with the upper end opening of the tank 3 when closed. In addition, the above-mentioned lid 7 has a push 12 which can be pushed down at the center of the upper surface of the lid 7 so as to operate an air pump (not shown). The actuating tool 13 is housed in the air pump, and when the push 12 is pushed down, the valve material 14 moves downward, so that the air is supplied to the ventilation groove 14 a of the valve material 14.
The gas is sent into the tank 3 through the steam hole 15a in the center of the steam discharge path forming member 15 and the air hole 10a in the center of the airtight lid 10. And again, the above-mentioned steam hole 15a and vent hole 10a.
A ball-shaped outflow prevention valve 16 is housed in the space between and so that the content liquid does not flow out from the vapor discharge passage 15b formed outward from the vapor discharge passage forming member 15 when the pot falls. I am.

The above-mentioned pivot portions 8 and 9 are the same as those shown in FIGS.
It is configured as shown in. That is, the pivot portion 8 of the container body 2 has a width capable of movably holding the pivot shaft 17,
Bearing portion 8a having a U-shaped cross section having a predetermined length in the front-rear direction
Are formed, arcuate step portions 8b are formed at both sides of the bearing portion 8a, and linear flat portions 8c that are inclined forward and downward are formed at these outer positions. .

On the other hand, the pivoting portion 9 of the lid 7 is formed by supporting the left and right sides of the pivot shaft 17 with two supporting plates 18 and 19 with the rear side opened. On the inside surface of 19,
The thick portions 18a and 19a corresponding to the above-mentioned step portion 8b are formed, and one of the two left and right support plates 18 and 19 (front side in the drawing) is arcuately projected backward by a predetermined amount. The hitting portion 18b is formed. That is, the flat portion 8 of the container body pivoting portion 8 on the one support plate 18
c A portion corresponding to the upper end position is formed so as to project a predetermined amount α rearward from the same position on the other support plate 19,
From the start to the end of the closing operation, one of the pivot shafts 17 (the front side in the drawing) is tilted forward along the U-shaped bearing portion 8a to shift the lid body 7, and the lid body 7 is moved. It is a contact portion 18b for tilting and closing in an open state.

In the electric pot 1 thus constructed, when the lid 7 is tilted to close the lid 7, the pivot shaft 17 of the lid 7 is mounted on the bearing portion 8a of the container body pivot portion 8. The contact portion 18b formed on one support plate 18 while rotating
Is in contact with the flat portion 8c of the container body pivoting portion 8 and only one of the pivoting shafts 17 is tilted forward, and as shown in FIG. 4, from the start to the end of the closing operation, as shown in FIG. 7 is displaced with respect to the container body 2 to obtain an open state. In order to shift from the open state to the completion of the closing operation, the lid body 7 may be pushed down while the orientation of the lid body 7 is normal, and the hooks 20 and 20 may be locked to obtain the locked state.

Therefore, even when the opened lid 7 is accidentally tilted, the lid 7 is suddenly tilted because the open state is formed at the position before the closing as shown in FIG. The compressing action of the container body 2 can be avoided, and the outflow prevention valve 16 housed in the lid 7 is in close contact with the steam hole 15a and the container body 2
It does not increase the internal pressure. for that reason,
It is possible to prevent an unexpected situation in which the high temperature content liquid is naturally discharged.

The above is one embodiment of the present invention, and other configurations can be adopted. For example, the contact portion may be set so as to contact the step portion 8b instead of the flat portion 8c, but the contact portion may be formed on the container body side instead of being formed on the support plate. It is also possible to set the range to be performed only before the completion of the blockade. Further, the bearing portion is set to have a shape in which one of the pivot shafts is inclined only forward, but it may be set to be inclined upward or obliquely.
