Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a weighing rice jug that has rice washing, water and rice measuring devices, and is designed to automate the preparations for rice cooking, from storing rice to measuring rice, washing rice, preparing rice, and adjusting the amount of water. This measuring rice jug has a rice washing function that automatically puts rice and water into the pot by simply setting the selection button for the amount of rice and water level, and turning on the power switch, as well as a rice and water measuring function. It provides:

Conventionally, measuring rice bins only had the functions of storing rice and measuring rice, and after taking the rice to be cooked into a pot, a person had to wash the rice and adjust the water level. Therefore, there was a drawback that washing the rice and adjusting the amount of water took a lot of time and effort. In addition, in order to cook rice deliciously, knowledge about the amount of water is required, and not everyone can prepare rice in advance.

The present invention aims to automate the preparations for rice cooking, from storing rice to measuring rice, washing rice, measuring water, and adding rice and water to a pot, making it easy for anyone to prepare rice. To provide a compact and easy-to-use measuring rice jug.

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

1 is the main body of the measuring rice jug, 2 is the rice jar lid that covers the top of the main body 1, 3 is a see-through window made of a transparent material that allows you to visually check the amount of rice remaining in the rice jug from outside the main body 1, and 4 is the rice amount setting. Knob, 5 is water level adjustment knob, e is power switch, 7
is the pilot lamp, 8 is the door, 9 is the pusher provided on the door 8, 10 is the rice bin provided on the top of the main body 1, 11 is the rice measuring chamber provided at the bottom of the rice pot 1o, 12 is the -F of the rice measuring chamber
An opening/closing plate 13 is a solenoid that opens and closes the opening/closing plate 12. 14 is a rice washing chamber provided at the lower part of the rice measuring chamber 11; 15 is a drain pipe for draining water after washing the rice from the rice washing chamber 14; and 16 is a valve for opening and closing the lower opening of the rice washing chamber.

17 is a rice cooking pot, 18 is a space for storing the rice cooking pot 17, the front is covered with a door 8, and the upper part is
A valve 16 for opening and closing the lower opening of the rice washing chamber 14 faces thereto. 19 is a water injection pipe connected to a water pipe, and a water solenoid valve 20 is provided in the middle. 21 is a tank for storing water, and a water injection pipe 19 is connected to the upper part thereof. 22
is a water level detection device that detects the water level in the tank 21,
Controls opening and closing of the water solenoid valve 2o. 23 is a pump,
The water in the tank 21 is pressurized and fed into the rice washing chamber 14.

24 is a water measuring chamber, which is connected to the tank 21.

A hose 26 connects the lower part of the water measuring chamber 24 and the rice washing chamber 14, and a water solenoid valve 26 is provided in the middle. 27
is the control circuit section.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be explained. First, open the rice jar lid 2 and put rice into the rice jar 10. Then, the amount of rice to be cooked and the level of water level are selected using the rice level setting knob 4 and the level of water level adjustment knob 6, and after making the settings, the power switch 6 is turned on. When the power switch 6 is turned on,
First, the opening/closing plate 12 operates so that the upper opening of the rice measuring chamber 11 is closed and the lower opening is open, and the rice in the rice measuring chamber 11 falls into the rice washing chamber 14. Next, the pump 23 operates to pressurize the water in the tank 21 and send it to the rice washing chamber 14, where the water is used to wash the rice.
The water is drained by the water. The water level in the tank 21 is maintained at a certain level by the water level detection device 22 which opens and closes the water electromagnetic valve 2°. When the rice washing for a certain period of time is completed, the valve 16 is opened, and the rice and water in the rice washing chamber 14 are charged into the rice cooking pot 17.

The volume of the rice washing chamber is determined so that the amount of water charged at this time is less than the optimal amount for cooking the amount of rice that has fallen from the rice measuring chamber 11. Next, while the valve 16 remains open, the hose 2 connecting the water measuring chamber 24 and the rice washing chamber 14 is
A water electromagnetic valve 26 installed in the middle of the rice cooker 17 allows the amount of water set by the water level adjustment knob to flow through the rice washing chamber 14 to the rice cooking pot 17.
Open only when it's time to go inside. At this time, since water flows inside the rice washing chamber 14, rice grains attached to the inner wall of the rice washing chamber 14 and the valve 16 can also be put into the rice cooking pot 17 at the same time. Next, the opening/closing plate 13
and the valve 16 returns to its original state. By repeating the series of operations from the operation of the opening/closing plate 13 to this point, the amount of rice set by the unset knob 4 is placed in the rice cooker 17. Once the preparation is complete, all that is left to do is to open the door 8, take out the rice cooker 17, and start cooking the rice.

As described above, according to the present invention, the amount of rice to be cooked and the amount of water for cooking the rice to the desired hardness can be put into the rice cooker, and the rice can be washed, making it easy for anyone to cook. It is also convenient because it allows you to easily prepare the rice before cooking. In addition, the amount of rice washed in - times is the volume of the rice measuring chamber, and the rice washing chamber can be made more compact, so the measuring rice bin itself can also be made more compact and inexpensive, reducing the storage space. I can do it.
