Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automatic rice cooker having a reversing function. More specifically, a rice cooker that has completed the rice cooking process in a horizontal state can be flipped forward by a button operation to produce a large amount of cooked rice. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a device that can be easily taken out, and therefore, it is intended to make a great contribution to the field of rice cooking work, which conventionally requires labor and labor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a round type gas rice cooker has been heavily used as a commercial rice cooker. In particular, when a large amount of rice is cooked, a large number of rice cookers are arranged on a stand or a two-stage stand is used. When using the rice cooker, it took a considerable amount of labor to remove the heavy inner pot from the heating part cylinder body, and due to the high temperature, great care was required. Also, cleaning the inner pot requires a considerable amount of space and time, which is a major obstacle in terms of labor saving in the kitchen work.

[0003]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention requires a large space and labor when attaching and detaching the inner pot, which has been a problem in the conventional rice cooker using a round rice cooker, and when cleaning the inner pot for transferring cooked rice. The present invention aims to provide a rice cooker having a novel structure and function capable of solving this problem, focusing on the need for.

[0004]

The present invention takes the following means in order to achieve the above-mentioned object. That is, the present invention, a rice cooker configured to be rotatable in the vertical direction, a gantry frame for mounting the rice cooker, an upper lid that is openably and closably provided above the rear part of the rice cooker,
It is composed of a hopper provided immediately below the front of the rice cooker and a water receiver provided directly below the hopper so as to be horizontally slidable.

[0005]

[Operation] In Figs. 1 and 2, the rice cooker block (5), which is vertically mounted on the pedestal (2) and is rotatably in the vertical direction, is fixed in the horizontal position, and the upper lid (8) is opened. ing. In this state, washed rice and cooking water are supplied from the outside to the inner pot (3), and the upper lid opening / closing arm (7) descends to seal the inner pot.

When the predetermined immersion time is restricted, a timer is activated to notify the ignition timing of gas. Based on the notification, the gas is ignited and the rice cooking process begins. After that, the time connected to the rice-cooking thermostat was restrained, and after that time,
The completion of cooking rice is notified. On the other hand, the opening / closing operation of the upper lid (8) and the reversing operation of the rice cooker block (5) are electrically interlocked between the rice cooking process and the completion of rice cooking.

Upon completion of rice cooking, the interlock is released and the push button can be operated. Here, the process of taking out rice from the inner pot in which rice has been cooked will be described. A push button (not shown) is pushed to fully open the upper lid (8). In synchronization with this, the power cylinder (10) causes the rice cooker block (5) to start reversing forward and stop at a position displaced by about 70 degrees from its horizontal position.

At this time, the water receiving device (11) provided immediately below the hopper (6) is arranged in the original position to electrically assist the opening operation of the upper lid (8).

The rice storage container (13) is placed on the table (12) provided below the hopper (6) and the rice in the inner pot is dropped into the hopper using a spatula or the like. The cooked rice moderately loosened by the drop is quickly stored in the container.

[0010] Next, the washing of the inner pot after taking out the cooked rice will be explained. When the water receiving device (11) is pulled out to the front, the rice cooker block (5) is further inverted by a push button operation and stopped at a position of about 90 degrees. At the very least, the inside of the inner pot is washed with a separate hand shower (not shown). The cleaning wastewater is discharged to the outside of the system through the hopper (6) and the water receiving device (11).

The washed rice block is automatically returned to the horizontal position by the push button operation to prepare for the next rice cooking step.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring to the drawings showing an embodiment of the present invention,
1 and 2, a pair of rotary shafts (1) on both sides
The inner pot (3) is fixed to the box (4) having the bottom plate (16).
The entire rice cooker except the upper part of the box is housed, and the handle (14) of the inner pot (3) is provided on the upper side surface of the box (4) with a pair of flat plate-like members (15) having curved upper parts. The rice cooker block (5) is constructed by fixing the rice cooker under tension and fixing the bottom surface of the rice cooker to the bottom plate (16).

The rice cooker block (5) is a stand (2).
It is rotatably mounted by a pair of bearings (18) provided on the upper horizontal member (17).

On the other hand, the rice cooker block (5) has a fulcrum (19) at a position displaced rearward from the shaft (1), and the other end (20) is fixed to the lower rear of the mount (2) ( 10) is configured to be rotationally driven.

The upper lid (8) for opening and closing the inner pot (3) at the horizontal position of the rice cooker block (5) has a fixed gear (which is provided behind the block at the horizontal position of the rice cooker block (5)). 21) and a gear (22) that meshes with the gear to make a planetary motion, and is configured to be openable and closable by an arm (7) that is openable and closable.

A hopper (6) for facilitating the taking-out of cooked rice is arranged immediately below the front of the inner pot (3) at a position where the rice cooking block (5) is reversed by 90 degrees, and further below the hopper. Is provided with a water receiving device (11) configured to be freely taken out and put in the horizontal direction. The drain port (23) of the water receiving device is opened at a position corresponding to the separately installed drain pipe (24) when the device is pulled out forward.

Further, below the water receiving device (11), a table (12) for placing a rice storage container (13) is arranged.

In addition to the above-mentioned structure, the device of the present invention has a gas hose penetrating from the side part to the rear part of the box (4) and arranged in a loop, a drive motor (9) for opening and closing the upper lid, and a rice cooking block ( A sensor group for detecting the rotation angle of 5), the opening / closing position of the upper lid, and the original position of the water receiving device is arranged.

[0019]

The device of the present invention is configured as described above,
It has the function that you can easily handle cooked rice by opening and closing the lid and transferring the cooked rice without touching the rice cooker, which is a high-temperature heavy item, with one finger, and you can easily carry out the washing work of the inner pot without any labor. Since it is a thing, it has a remarkable effect which can save labor of rice cooking completely.

Since the device of the present invention has a function capable of integrally processing all the work without separating the inner pot and the burner portion of the rice cooker, the conventional work for washing the inner pot and transferring the cooked rice. It does not require a considerable amount of space for replacement, and exhibits an extremely high space saving effect.

If the apparatus of the present invention is used as a single rice-cooking unit and a large number of them are connected in the horizontal direction, the washed rice and the cooking water can be automatically supplied by the tank which can move horizontally in the upper scent. It is possible to realize an extremely effective automatic rice cooker.
