Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION FIELD OF INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION This invention relates to the operability and space-saving structure of cooking utensils for general household use.

Conventional Structure and Problems Conventionally, in this type of cooking utensil, as shown in FIG. An outer lid 3 that covers the upper opening of the frame 2 is rotatably supported on a hinge portion 2a formed at the upper end of one side of the upper frame 2, and is also formed at the upper end of the opposite side of the hinge portion 2a. Generally, the shamoji 6 is stored in a hook cover 4 which is secured to the hook portion 2b, and a shamoji receiver 5 is fitted into the hook cover 4.

However, in this configuration, the shamoji 6 in the shamoji receiver 5
has almost the same temperature as the outside air, and assuming that the outside air is around 20°C, the temperature of the shamoji 6 is also around 20°C. Also,
The rice in the pot is 100 degrees Celsius immediately after cooking, and 70 degrees Celsius even when kept warm.
'C, and there is a temperature difference between the two of 50°C to 80°C. In general, if the temperature of the nyamoji 6 is low, rice tends to stick to the nyamoji 6 when scooping the rice in the pot, and this tendency becomes stronger as the temperature difference between the nyamoji 6 and the rice increases. Therefore, in this configuration, rice tends to stick to the shamoji 6, and when the shamoji 6 with the rice attached is stored in the shamoji receiver 5, the rice also adheres to the shamoji receiver 5, making it unsanitary and preventing cooking. There was a problem in that the operability of the instrument was very poor.

On the other hand, in this configuration, the hinge part 2a and the hook part 2b protrude from the outer frame 1, and the hook part 2b of the rice cooker holder 5 also protrudes further, so that this cooking utensil cannot be used in a general home kitchen. There was a problem that the area occupied was quite large.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves these conventional problems and provides a cooking utensil that improves operability and saves space.

Structure of the Invention The cooking utensil of the present invention includes an outer frame having a substantially rectangular cross-section, an annular upper frame forming the upper end surface of the outer frame, and a cross-section having an upper end fixed to the upper frame and housed in the outer frame. An approximately circular cylindrical inner frame with a bottom, a pot removably housed in the inner frame, an outer lid that covers the top opening of the pot, and the outer cover and upper frame are rotatable. It has a hinge part formed at the upper end of one corner of the upper frame for pivotal support, and a hook part formed at the upper end of one corner opposite to the hinge part of the upper frame for locking the outer cover and the upper frame, A space part extending downward is formed in one corner other than the hinge part and the hook part formed in the upper frame. Due to the structure of this upper frame, it is possible to put the shamoji in the space, so the shamoji and
The temperature of the rice in the pot becomes almost the same, and when scooping the rice in the pot with this shamoji, the rice does not stick to the shamoji, and therefore the rice does not stick to the space in the upper frame, making it a hygienic operation. It becomes a sexual thing. On the other hand, with this configuration, since there is no part that protrudes from the outer frame or the upper frame, the area occupied by the frame is small, resulting in space saving. .

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

In FIG. 2, 11 is a cylindrical outer frame with a substantially square cross section;
2 is a resin annular upper frame forming the upper end surface of the outer frame 11;
13 is a bottomed cylindrical inner frame whose upper end is fixed to the upper frame 12, is housed in the outer frame 11, and has a substantially circular cross section made by drawing a thin metal plate; 14 is placed on the inner bottom of the inner frame 13; heater, 15
16 is an outer lid that covers the upper opening of the pot 15, and 12a is a portion of the upper frame 12 in order to rotatably support the outer lid 16 on the upper frame 12. A hinge part 12b is formed at the upper end of one corner, and a hook part 17 is formed at the upper end of the corner opposite to the hinge part 12a of the upper frame 12 in order to lock the outer lid 16 to the upper frame 12. The main body heat insulating material 18 sandwiched between the inner frame 13 is attached to the outer frame 11 at a corner of the upper frame 12 other than the hinge part 12a and the hook part 12b.
and a shamoji holder that has an opening at the upper end and a space below between the body heat insulating material 17, 19 is a shamoji that is stored in the shamoji receiver 18, and 2Q is a bottom with legs that covers the lower opening of the outer frame 11. It is a frame.

In the above configuration, since the rice cooker receiver 18 is located between the outer frame 11 and the main body insulation material 17, the rice cooker receiver 18 is placed between the outer frame 11 and the main body insulating material 17, so that the
The temperature is about 0° C., and the temperature of the shamoji 19 stored in the shamoji receiver 18 is also about 60° C.

Therefore, when scooping the rice in the pot 15 after cooking or keeping it warm, the rice cake 19 is always warmed to about 60'C, so the temperature difference between the rice and the rice is small, and the rice does not stick to the rice bowl 19.

For this reason, the shamoji receiver 18 that stores this shamoji 19
The rice will no longer stick to the rice. In addition, when the shamoji receiver 18 and the shamoji 19 are not in use, they are sealed inside the main body by the outer cover 16, so that dust and the like do not adhere to them, making them easy to operate and sanitary.

On the other hand, according to this configuration, the hinge portion 12a1 hook portion 12
b, both are inside the main body, and the shamoji receiver 18 can also be stored inside the main body, and its occupied area is smaller than the outer frame 11 of the main body.
Only the external shape is available. Therefore, as shown in the conventional example,
Since it occupies a smaller area, space can be saved.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above embodiments, the cooking utensil of the present invention has a hinge part, a hook part, and a seven-piece yamoji receiver formed at each corner of the rectangular outer frame. In addition, the area occupied by the main body is reduced, which improves operability and saves space.
