Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a fully automatic rice cooker that automatically performs the entire rice cooking process from storing rice to measuring rice and water, washing rice, preparing rice, cooking rice, and keeping it warm. This invention relates to a storage structure for a rice bin provided within the main body of a fully automatic rice cooker.

Conventionally, the rice bin installed inside the fully automatic rice cooker body is fixed inside the main body, and the method of putting rice into the rice bin is as follows:
The rice bin had a removable lid on two sides, and a door on the upper side of the rice bin that could be opened and closed. In the case of the above structure, there is a drawback that dirt, scum, water, etc. can enter the rice jar through the gap between the rice jar and the rice pot, resulting in unsanitary conditions.Also, in order to open and close the lid when the rice is not loaded, it is necessary to constantly close the lid. ” There were drawbacks such as not being able to place it in second place. Furthermore, in the latter case, the rice is loaded from the top of the side of the rice bin, so the rice can only be loaded up to the bottom of the door, creating a dead space. In addition, there were other drawbacks, such as the rice being difficult to fill evenly in the rice bin, and the rice bulging up on the door side, making it difficult to insert rice into the rice bin, and making the rice bin larger.

The present invention eliminates these drawbacks and provides a compact fully automatic rice cooker with excellent operability.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

1 is a fully automatic rice cooker body, 2 is a top plate, 3 is a steam discharge provided on the top plate 2 to discharge steam during cooking, 4 is a rice bin, 5 is a guide fixed to the rice bin, 6 is a guide fixed to the rice bin. A roller is attached to the rear end of the guide 5, a guide 7 is fixed to the main body 1, and a roller 8 is attached to the main body 1.

The guide 6 is in contact with a roller 8, and the roller 6 is in contact with a guide 7, supporting the rice bin 4.

Since the rollers 6 and 8 are rotatably attached to the guide 6 and the main body 1, respectively, the rice bin 4 can be moved horizontally smoothly. 9 is rice jar 4
10 is a hook provided on the panel 9, 11 is attached to the main body 1, and a hook 1o is provided on the front of the panel.
The soot bar 112 on which the rice bowl 4 is hung is a handle for pulling out the rice pot 4 and is provided on the panel 9. Reference numeral 13 denotes a see-through window provided on the front side of the rice bin 4, which allows the remaining amount of rice in the rice bin 4 to be visually confirmed from the outside. 14 is a switch section provided on the panel 9, which includes a timer, a power switch, and an unopen setting switch.

A switch such as a water level adjustment switch is provided. 1
5 is a system installed in the gap between panel 9 and rice bin 4.
It is a circuit component. Reference numeral 16 denotes a rice measuring chamber having a constant volume provided at the bottom of the rice jug 4, and 17 denotes an opening/closing plate for opening and closing openings provided above and below the rice measuring chamber. 1B is a solenoid provided to open and close the opening/closing plate 1.

19 is a rice washing device. When the solenoid 18 is not operating, the opening/closing plate 17 closes the lower opening (on the rice washing device side) of the rice measuring chamber 16 and opens the upper opening (on the rice side). 16 is filled with rice. When the solenoid 18 operates, the lower opening of the rice measuring chamber 16 opens and the opening/closing plate 17 closes the upper opening, allowing a certain amount of rice in the rice measuring chamber 16 to be fed into the rice washing device 19. can.

Reference numeral 2o indicates a drainage receiver provided at the lower part of the rice washing device 19, reference numeral 21 indicates a rice cooker, and reference numeral 22 indicates a drawer for storing the rice cooker 21. 2
3 is a panel of the drawer 22; 24 is a handle provided on the panel 22 for pulling out the drawer 22; 26 is a water supply pipe connected to a water pipe; 26 is a water supply tank that stores water poured from the water supply pipe 26; 27; is a pump connected to the lower part of the water supply tank 26, which pressurizes water from the water supply tank 26 and sends the water into the rice washing device 19. 28 is drainage receiver 2o
This is a drain pipe that guides the dirty water after washing the rice to the outside of the main body 1.

29 is a lid opening/closing device that automatically opens and closes the lid of the rice cooker 21; 3o is a steam vent pipe that guides steam generated during rice cooking to the outside of the main body 1; the upper end is connected to the steam outlet 3; There is.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be explained. Rice in rice jar 4
When inserting it into the interior, first hold the handle 12, remove the hook 10 from the stopper 11 to release the lock, and pull it out toward you. At this time, the guides 5 and 7 and the rollers 6 and 8 allow the rice bin 4 to be pulled out smoothly against the guide 7. Then, rice is put into the rice bin 4 from the upper opening of the rice bin 4. After unloading is completed, push the rice bin 4 until the hook 1o catches the stopper 11 and the rice bin 4 is locked. This completes the manipulation of US officials. In this way, rice can be placed evenly into the rice bin 4 while the top plate 2 covering the top of the rice bin 4 remains fixed, and since the top plate 2 can be fixed to the main body 1, the top plate 2 covering the top of the rice bin 4 can be fixed. You can eliminate gaps and use rice bins 4
Garbage inside.

It can prevent dust, water, etc. from entering.

Further, there is no need to remove items placed on the top plate 2'' when the rice is not loaded, and a fully automatic rice cooker that is sanitary and easy to operate can be provided. There is also a rice measuring room 16 in the 4th rice bin section. A rice measuring device consisting of an opening/closing plate 17 and a solenoid 18 for operating the opening/closing plate 17 is attached. When the rice jug 4 is moved when it is not loaded, the rice measuring device also moves while being fixed to the rice jug 4. Therefore, even if the opening of the rice bin 4 closing part provided opposite to the upper opening of the rice measuring chamber 16 remains open regardless of the position of the rice bin, the lower opening of the rice measuring chamber 16 can be closed by the opening/closing plate 17. This allows the rice to be kept in the rice bin. By opening and closing the upper and lower openings of the rice measuring chamber 16 by the knob and the opening/closing plate 17, rice can be measured and rice can be held in the rice jug. By fixing the rice control device to the rice bin 4 as described above, one amount of rice and the rice can be held in the rice bin 4 with a simple configuration.

A panel 9 provided on the front surface of the rice jug 4 is provided with a switch section 14 such as a timer, a power switch, a rice quantity setting switch, a water level adjustment switch, etc., and a side diagonal circuit component 15. The rice bin 4 is provided in the upper part of the main body 1. Therefore, the switch section is located at the upper front of the main body 1, making it easy to operate the switch and providing good serviceability. The switch part 14 and the control part 15 can be arranged in the tapered part of the lower part of the rice bin, and since they are fixed to the rice bin 4 and move together with the rice bin 4, the main body 1 can be made compact. .

Thus, according to the present invention, it is hygienic and easy to operate.

A compact fully automatic rice cooker with excellent serviceability can be provided.
