Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a rice cooking device that cooks rice and keeps it warm while the rice cooker is housed in the rice cooker.

Conventional configurations and their problems In recent years, the types and quantities of cooking equipment and tableware in the kitchen have increased, and there has been a growing desire to store them elegantly and use space effectively. It is beginning to change. However, rice cookers have problems such as steam condensation, humidity, and temperature due to the steam generated during rice cooking. Furthermore, since there are many types of rice cookers to be stored, the structure of the rice cooking device that stores the rice cookers has become complicated.

Purpose of the Invention The rice cooking device of the present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and uses a steam processing device to process the steam generated during rice cooking. It provides equipment.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a drawer part for housing an exhaust pipe and a rice cooker in the device main body and a part of its inner wall, and the drawer part is provided with a drawer part that can be freely moved up and down. It consists of a support plate to which it is attached, and a bottom plate which is selectively attached to the support plate in its plane, and is designed to accommodate various rice cookers with different sizes and steam vent positions.

Description of examples Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In Figs. 1 to 5, reference numeral 1 denotes a box-shaped device main body, with a storage cabinet 2 at the bottom and a drawer section 3 at the top. Reference numeral 4 denotes a rice cooker placed in the drawer section 3, which is equipped with a display board 6 and a steam vent 6, and is powered by a power plug 7.

Next, the steam treatment equipment will be explained. Reference numeral 8 denotes an exhaust passage provided in the upper part of the apparatus main body 1, one end of which opens in the display panel 9 as an exhaust port 10, and the other end of which is provided with a fan 12 driven by an electric motor 11. Reference numeral 13 denotes a partition plate that divides the exhaust passage 8 into an air passage and a steam passage B, which is made of metal or the like with high thermal conductivity, and on the exhaust port 10 side, the air passage A and the steam passage B intersect, forming a mixing chamber C It has become. 14 is a steam inlet provided in the middle of the steam passage B. A thermal reed switch 15 is attached to the partition plate 13 directly above the steam inlet 14, and is connected to the electric motor 11 to control its operation. 16 is a drain pipe attached to the lowest part of the steam passage B, and is connected to a soup receiver 17.

Next, the configuration of the drawer section 3 will be explained.

Reference numeral 18 denotes a drawer main body having walls 19 at the front and rear, and rollers 20 at the rear. 21 is a square hole A provided in the wall 19 in the vertical direction. 22 is an L-shaped support plate, and the hook is the claw A.
23 and a square hole B24 provided in a plane, and by selectively inserting the hook A23 into the square hole A21, the support plate 22 can be selectively attached vertically. 25 is
This is a bottom plate on which the rice cooker 4 is placed, and the hook is provided with a claw B26, and the hook can be selected within a plane by inserting the claw B26 into the square hole B'24.

27Fi protrusion A28. A positioning white screen with a projection B29, 30 is the rear of the positioning table with a projection C31, and the positioning white screen is fixed to a lever 33 rotatably attached to the bottom plate 25 by a shaft 32, and is mounted on the bottom plate 25. Rotate. The rear part of the positioning table is fixed to the bottom plate 26 so as to be freely forward and backward. The rice cooker 4 is fixed in its front, rear, left, and right positions by four points, the protrusion A28 and the protrusion C31, and by rotating the positioning white screen 27 in σ and the like and fixing the protrusion B29 in a position where the display board 5 faces the front, The rotation of the rice cooker 4 is also fixed. 3
4 is a power outlet.

In the above configuration, when the rice cooker 4 is housed in the main body 1 of the apparatus, the steam hole 6 faces the steam inlet 14, and the display plate is placed so as to face the front.

The operation of the rice cooking device configured as above will be explained below. Take out the drawer main body 18 without removing it, select the square hole A21 under the sandy soil depending on the size of the rice cooker 4 to be stored and the position of the steam hole 6, insert the hook A23 into the support plate 22, and then remove the drawer body 18. Install. Next, select the square hole B24, insert the hook B26, and attach the bottom plate 25. Then, position the rice cooker 4 with the display board 5 facing the protrusion A on the white screen 27.
28 and the protrusion 031 after the positioning table. Next, by rotating the positioning white screen 27 and fixing it at a position where the protrusion B29 comes into contact with the display board 5, the rice cooker 4
Fix the front, back, left, right, and rotational positions of. Next, connect the power plug 7 to the power outlet 34, close the drawer body,
A rice cooker 4 is housed within the device main body 1. At this time, steam vent 6
and the steam inlet 14 are opposed to each other.

When rice cooking is started and steam is discharged from the steam hole 6, the steam flows into the steam passage B from the steam inlet 14. At this time, the thermal reed switch 15 closes due to the heat of the steam.
When the electric motor 11 operates and the fan 12 rotates, air flows from the air passage A through the mixing chamber C and reaches the exhaust port 1o.
It is discharged to the outside of the device main body 1. At this time, since the partition plate 13 is made of a material with high thermal conductivity,
Heat exchange occurs between the steam flowing through the steam passage B and the air flowing through the air passage A, and the steam is cooled and condensed. The dew condensation water is then stored in the drip tray 17 through the drain pipe 16. The steam flowing into the mixing chamber OK from the steam passage B is further mixed with the air flowing through the air passage A, the temperature and humidity are further reduced, and the steam is discharged from the exhaust port 10.

Next, when the rice cooking is completed and the rice is kept warm, steam is no longer discharged from the steam hole 6, the thermal reed switch 16 is opened, and the operation of the electric motor 11 is stopped.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the bottom plate of the drawer is
Since the structure is such that the front and rear can be selectively expanded, it is possible to store rice cookers with different positions of dog sigma and steam vents.

As described in detail, the present invention provides a drawer portion for storing a rice cooker that includes a drawer body, a support plate that is selectively attached to the drawer body in a vertically movable manner, and a support plate that is selectively attached to the support plate in a plane. The bottom plate is made up of a bottom plate, and depending on the size of the rice cooker to be stored and the position of the steam vent, the bottom plate can be selectively attached to the top or bottom. It won't leak.

In addition, the bottom plate is removable, making cleaning etc. easy.
Very easy to use.
