Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a rice cooking device that houses a rice cooker.

Conventional configurations and their problems In recent years, the types and amounts of cooking equipment and food in the kitchen have increased, and there has been a growing need to store them well and use space effectively. is being measured. However, rice cookers generate steam when cooking rice, which causes problems such as condensation of steam, humidity, and temperature, and the rice cooker was not sufficient as a rice cooking device that housed the rice cooker.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and in particular, it is an object of the present invention to provide a rice cooking device containing a rice cooker that can be installed at any location.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the present invention uses a steam exhaust passage and a steam exhaust device provided inside the device main body, and an intake port and a steam exhaust port provided on the front surface of the device main body to remove steam generated during rice cooking outside the device main body. By discharging the rice smoothly, even if you cook rice with the rice cooker stored inside the device, the inside of the device can be maintained at normal temperature and humidity, and has excellent corrosion resistance.
In addition, there are no carvings on the equipment near the rice cooker, and the intake and steam exhaust ports are provided on the front of the device, and the rear side of the device can be placed in close contact with the wall or the side of the device, such as a cooking table. You can place things on the front of the device.
Furthermore, the present invention provides a rice cooking device that can be built into a cooking table, has a high degree of freedom in installation, and can effectively utilize kitchen space.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the figure, 1 is the rice cooker main body, 2 is the rice cooker detachably installed in the rice cooker main body 1, and 3 is the rice cooker 2.
A steam exhaust device 4 is provided on the rear side of the steam exhaust passage 3. Reference numeral 5 denotes a steam exhaust port connected to the steam exhaust passage and provided at the front of the main body 1 of the apparatus. Reference numeral 6 denotes an air intake port provided on the lower front surface of the rice cooker body 1, and 7 represents a passageway that guides the air drawn from the air intake opening 6 to the steam exhaust passageway. 8 is a drawer in which the rice cooker 2 can be installed in a detachable manner; 9 is a steam outlet provided on the top surface of the rice cooker 2; 1o is a steam inlet provided in the steam exhaust passage 3 at a position opposite to the steam outlet 9; 11 is a temperature detection device provided near the steam inlet.

Reference numeral 12 is a storage section that stores the rice cooker 2, and reference numeral 13 is a storage space provided below the storage section 12 into which various items can be placed. 14 is a door that covers the front of the storage section 12 and the storage 13. 15 is a see-through window provided in the door 14, and is provided at a position of the door corresponding to the switch section 16 of the rice cooker 2.

The operation of the rice cooking device configured as described above will be explained below.

Put rice and water in the rice cooker 2, start cooking, and after a while steam will be generated from the steam outlet 9.
o and is guided into the steam exhaust passage 3. At this time, the steam contacts the temperature detection device 11, and when the temperature of the temperature detection device 11 rises and reaches a certain temperature or higher, the steam exhaust device 4 starts operating. . When the steam exhaust device 4 operates, the intake port 6
The air is sucked in, passes through the passage 7, passes through the steam exhaust passage 3, and is exhausted from the steam exhaust port 6 to the outside of the device body 1, creating a flow of air, and from the steam inlet 1o to the steam exhaust passage 3.
The steam drawn inside is mixed with this air flow and discharged to the outside of the device main body 1. When the rice cooking is completed, steam is no longer generated from the steam outlet 9, the temperature detected by the temperature detection device 11 decreases, and when the temperature falls below a certain level, the operation of the steam exhaust device 4 is stopped.

As described above, according to this embodiment, by providing a steam exhaust passage and a steam exhaust device inside the device body, and providing an intake port and a steam exhaust port on the front surface of the device body, steam generated during rice cooking can be smoothly removed from the device. It is possible to provide a rice cooking device that can exhaust air outside the main body and has excellent corrosion resistance.

In addition, by providing an intake port and a steam exhaust port on the front of the rice cooker, it is possible to place the rear of the device in close contact with a wall, or to install other equipment such as a cooking table in close contact with both sides of the device in a trench. In addition, the top surface of the device can be used to imitate cooking utensils or as a cooking workbench, making it possible to use kitchen space effectively and providing an easy-to-use rice cooking device with a high degree of freedom in installing the device. can do.

A second embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a side sectional view of the main part. 21 in the figure
is an intake port, and the door 1 facing the storage section 12 of the rice cooker 2
This is provided in the see-through window 16 provided in 4. 22 is a communication port provided in the steam exhaust passage 3 near the steam exhaust device.

The rest of the structure is the same as that shown in FIG. The difference from the configuration shown in FIG. 3 is that a see-through window 16 has an intake port 21 in the door 14
The point is that the communication port 22 is provided in the steam exhaust passage 3.

The operation of the rice cooking device configured as described above will be described below. When rice cooking starts, steam starts to be generated from the steam outlet 9 provided in the rice cooker 2, and when the temperature detection device 11 reaches a certain temperature or higher, the steam exhaust device starts operating, and air is stored from the intake port 21. Air is guided into the portion 12, further passes through the communication port 22, is guided into the steam exhaust passage 3, and is exhausted from the steam exhaust port 5 to the outside of the apparatus main body 1, creating a flow of air. Steam inlet 1o is connected to this air flow.
The steam introduced into the steam exhaust passage 3 is mixed, cooled, and discharged to the outside of the apparatus main body 1.

By providing the intake port 21 in the door 14 portion facing the storage section 12 of the rice cooker 2 as described above, outside air is guided to the storage section 12 of the rice cooker 2.
The temperature inside the storage section 12 can be maintained at room temperature without the temperature being trapped inside, the temperature of each part of the rice cooker 2 can be lowered, the durability of the rice cooker 2 can be increased, and It is also possible to prevent the temperature rise inside the storage compartment 13.
It is possible to provide an easy-to-use rice cooking device in which various items such as food can be stored without affecting the temperature of the items stored in the rice cooker.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides a steam exhaust passage and a steam exhaust device within the device body, and provides an intake port and a steam exhaust port on the front of the device body, thereby preventing steam and temperature from being trapped inside the device body. Therefore, it is possible to provide a rice cooking device which has excellent durability, can effectively utilize the space in the kitchen, and has a high degree of freedom in installation, and its effects are unique.
