Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a foldable hot plate with improved electrical safety.

Generally, when a hot plate is stored in a dish rack after use, it is often too bulky to accommodate, or it takes up too much space and becomes a nuisance.

In addition, even if there is a storage space, there are various drawbacks such as placing other items on the main unit may damage the main unit surface and deteriorate the performance, or there is a risk of incorrect connections due to exposed conductive parts. There is.

The present invention was made to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and includes a plate body having a heating element and a terminal connected to the heating element, a frame body that slidably supports this body, and a side surface of this frame body. It has an opening for inserting a plug-in thermometer that connects to the above terminal, and has a foldable closure 1, so that the device after use becomes half of what it was when in use, saving space, making it compact, and making it easy to use when in use. An object of the present invention is to provide a folding hot plate which can improve electrical safety by making electrical connections only when the frame is unfolded and preventing careless connections when stored. do.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The details of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a plate main body formed in the shape of a rectangular dish, with a bulging part 3 housing a heating element 2 at the bottom, and a bulging part 3 integrally disposed on its lower surface, with one end connected to the heating element 2. Terminal 4 is provided.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a flange portion of the plate body 1, and 6 a frame body supporting the plate body 1. A support groove 7 for the flange portion 5 is formed inside to support the plate body 1 in a slidable manner.

This frame body 6 is divided into two parts and can be folded freely via a hinge part 8. Furthermore, when the plate body 1 is installed in the position for use, there is an opening for inserting a plug-in thermostat facing the terminal 4. 9 is provided on the longitudinal side.

Reference numeral 10 indicates a handle, reference numeral 11 indicates a leg portion, and reference numeral 12 indicates a reinforcing metal fitting 13 indicating a plug-in thermostat.

Next, we will discuss the effect.

First, when using it, unfold the frame 6 and insert the plate body 1.
is located in the middle of the frame 6, the terminal 4 attached to the main body 1 is opposed to the opening 9 of the frame 6, and the plug-in thermostat 13 is inserted from the outside and energized.

After using the device, the operation is reversed to that described above, and the plate body 1 is slid to one side as shown in FIG. 3, and further folded as shown in FIG. 4.

Therefore, when stored, the size of the instrument becomes half of that when in use, and can be stored compactly.

Further, since the cooking surface of the main body 1 of the player I is covered by the folded frame portion 6', it will not be damaged.

Furthermore, since the terminal 4 is located inside the opening 9 of the frame 6 on the lower surface of the plate main body 1 as shown in FIG. Shifts laterally as shown.

Therefore, compared to the conventional example shown in FIG. 6, in which an insertion fitting 14 is attached to the heat generating element storage bulge 3 and the tip of the terminal 4' protrudes from the side surface of the frame 6, the terminal in the present invention is 4 is not exposed, there is no risk of incorrect connection, and electrical safety is improved.

Furthermore, since the protruding length of the plug-in thermostat 13 when inserted can be shortened, less space is required.

As detailed above, the present invention consists of a plate body with a terminal connected to a heating element installed on the bottom surface, a plate body that is slidably held, and an opening facing the terminal formed on the side surface to be foldable. Since it is a foldable hot plate with a built-in frame, it is compact and does not take up much space when stored, and can be easily carried with one hand and placed upright for convenient use. can.

In addition, the cooking surface of the main unit is protected and will not be damaged, and the conductive parts are completely covered when stored, eliminating the risk of incorrect connections, which is an excellent advantage of being inexpensive and improving electrical safety. has.
