Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to an automatic rice cooking device that automatically stores, weighs, washes, and cooks rice.

Structure of conventional example and its problems Conventionally, in this type of automatic rice cooking device, the rice bin is fixedly provided within the main body of the device (4).
1. This was done by opening the removable lid installed above the rice bin, or by opening the door installed at the top of the side of the rice bin. However, in the case of a structure with a lid on the rice bin,
Dirt, dust, water, etc. may enter the rice bin through the gap between the rice bin and the lid, leading to unsanitary conditions.
In addition, there were drawbacks such as having to constantly place items on the lid in order to open and close the lid when it is not loaded. Also, the side of the rice bin.”
When a door is provided in the second part, rice is introduced from the top of the side of the rice bin, so rice can only be introduced up to the bottom of the door, creating a dead space. In addition, there were drawbacks such as rice not being placed evenly in the rice bin and rice rising on the side of the door, making it difficult to insert rice and making the rice bin large.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides an automatic rice cooking device which eliminates all of the problems of the prior art and improves operability.

Structure of the Invention The automatic rice cooking device of the present invention includes, in the device main body, a rice pot having an input port 1 at the top, a rice bowl 11 device, a rice washing device, and a rice cooker, the rice pot ICL, It is slidably arranged on the main body of the device, and the +'i-l' of rice:
ti (H device) A rice pot locking device that locks the rice pot inside the device body when operating the rice washing device.
If the rice bin has not been loaded, it can be pulled out by sliding it out from the main body of the device, but when the device is operating, the rice bin is locked and the rice bin is accidentally pulled out.

has been completed. Reference numeral 19 denotes a locking mechanism which is rotatably attached to the rice bin 4K, and is connected to the opening/closing plate 17.
When the opening/closing plate 17 rotates, the lock lever 19 rotates once, and the opening/closing plate 17 is in a state where the rice in the rice bin 4 is closed and the uncultivated outlet 16a of the rice measuring chamber 16 is opened. , the lock lever 19 locks the hook 13 to a position where the hook 13 cannot be rotated. On the other hand, the rice bin 40 rice JJl is opened and the rice container 1 in the rice dividing room 16 is opened.
``When the opening/closing plate 17 is in the closed state, the lock lever 19 will not move even if the hook 13 rotates.
It is in a position where it does not hit. 20 is a rice washing device provided corresponding to the uncultivated outlet 16a of the rice measuring chamber 16, and 21 is a rice washing device 2o.
The drain receptacle 22 provided below is a drawer for putting in and taking out the rice cooker 23&j and the rice cooker 22, which are provided in the lower part of the main body 1 so as to be freely drawn out. 24 is water, a water injection pipe connected to the '+i'l pipe, 25 is a tank for storing +1 water from the water injection pipe 24, and 26 is a pump that pressurizes the water from the tank 26 and supplies it to the rice washing device 2o. I enter the water. Reference numeral 27 denotes a drain pipe that guides the dirty rice washing water from the drain receiver 21 to the outside of the main body 1 of the apparatus. 28 is a lid opening/closing device that fully automatically opens and closes the rice cooker lid 22a, and 29 is a steam exhaust t'1' that leads all the steam generated during rice cooking to the outside of the main body 1 of the device 6. 30 is a control component directed to the panel 9.

The operation of the above +11 yen formation will be explained. When putting rice into the rice bin 4, first hold the handle 10, remove the hook 13 from the hook hook 15 to release the lock (broken line in Figure 3), and pull out the rice bin 4 toward you. At this time, guides 6 and 7
The rollers 6 and 8 allow the rice bin 4 to be pulled out smoothly along the guide 7. Then, rice is put into the rice bin 4 through the inlet 4b at the top. After the unloading is completed, the rice bin 4 is hooked onto the hook hook 15 by the hook 13, and the rice bin 4 is pushed in until it is locked. This completes the loading of rice. When the automatic rice cooker is not operating and is stopped, the opening/closing plate 17 opens the bottom of the rice bin 4 that has not been discharged. The unhandled rice cooker 116a at the bottom of the chamber 160 is in a closed state, and at this time, the lock lever 1 is in a position where the hook 13 is not locked.When the automatic rice cooking device starts operating, the solenoid 18 is first activated. The opening/closing plate 1 rotates and opens the uncultivated outlet 4 at the bottom of the rice bin 4.
a f Closed, uncultivated outlet 16 at the bottom of the rice measuring chamber 16 a
Open f, go to f4 position, and wash the ~ rice in the rice sharpening chamber 16 with the rice washing device +'! 'i°20VC transfer. Along with this operation, the lid F22a of the rice cooker 22 is also opened by the lid opening/closing device 28 (7'l-7,). When the solenoid 18 operates and the opening/closing plate 17 is operated, the lock lever 19 also rotates and moves the hook 13 to the locked position. Therefore, the solenoid 18 operates, and the opening/closing plate 17 closes the rice outlet 1'' 4a at the bottom of the rice bin 4, and the rice J at the bottom of the rice storage chamber 16 is closed.
When in the open position, the locking lever 19 can lock the hook 15. At this time, even if one attempts to pull out the rice bin 4 by holding the loaf handle 10, the hook 13 does not rotate and gets caught on the hook hook 15, making it impossible to pull out the rice bin 4.

The rice that has entered the rice washing device 20 is washed with water that is pressurized by the water pump 26 in the tank 25 and sent into the rice washing device 20, and then the rice washing device 20 is moved and placed in the rice cooker 22. It is prepared. And the water for adjusting the water level is in tank 2.
After water is replenished from inside the rice cooker 6, the lid opening/closing device 28 is activated in operation 1, the lid 22a of the rice cooker 22 is closed, and after the soaking time Jt has passed, the rice cooker 22 is energized and rice is cooked.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which the lock leno<-19 and the opening/closing plate 17 are separated, and a solenoid 31 is provided as a drive source to rotate the lock leno<-19i, and when the automatic rice cooker is operating, the solenoid 31 and lock lever 19
is rotated and the hook 13 is locked. In this case, the hook 13 can be locked even if the opening/closing plate 17 is opened or closed during operation of the automatic rice cooker.

In addition, in each of the above-mentioned Examples, at least rice ii 1
'-t)l locks the rice bin 4 when the device is operating;
It may also be locked even when other devices are operating to ensure safe use.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the embodiments described above, the automatic rice cooking device of the present invention has a rice pot with a charging spout at the top, which is slidably disposed inside the device body, and a locking device that locks all the rice pots (L). - When the automatic rice cooker is operating, the rice pot can be locked with a device, preventing erroneous operation and making it easy to put rice into the rice pot. It is possible to provide an automatic rice cooking device that is easy to use, solves the conventional problems, and is easy to use.
