Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the fine appearance of a kitchen in its entirety and to improve convenience for use thereof by constituting an operating part so that it is accommodatable within the main body of the apparatus and further covering the operating part with a covering member. CONSTITUTION:The main body 1 of the electric cooking apparatus has a grill handle 5 at the center of a front surface part 2, a grill door 4, and a suitable number of heating means 3 consisting of sheath heaters at the upper part of the main body 1. The operating part 6 is formed into a shape of an equilateral triangle, in section, by locating one side pat (front side) 62 of a hollow thin and long triangular column shape, at the front surface part 2, and is freely accommodated within the main body 1. Further, the operating portion is coated with a coating member. By this organization, the operating part is drawn out of the main body only when the electric cooking apparatus is used, and the operating part is put into an angle close to the horizontal, so as to prevent boiled juice and water from being sprayed onto the operating part.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electric cooking device having a heating device such as a sheathed heater or a glass grate-shaped heater on the upper part of the main body.

Conventional Technology Traditionally, the main cooking device used in Japanese home kitchens has been the gas stove. However, recently, there has been an increase in the number of all-electric condominiums and all-electric houses that are free from dangers such as gas explosions and oxygen deficiency, and even more so in the case of super high-rise buildings, which have nearly 20 floors. has become fully electrified.

Moreover, in many fully electric condominiums, the kitchen and living room are integrated in order to save space1.
Kitchens have become known as system kitchens, which place great importance on appearance.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Conventional electric cookers have uneven front surfaces due to switch knobs, etc., which do not match well with the sink and spoil the overall aesthetics of the kitchen. If you remove the knob and use a flat touch switch or a me/plane switch, the front of the electric cooker will be almost vertical, and you will have to squat down to press the switch each time you want to actually cook. It had the disadvantage of being extremely difficult to use.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention has been made in view of the above, and is based on an electric cooker that improves the aesthetic appearance of the entire kitchen, improves ease of use, and improves the cleanability of the operating section. To this end, the operating section is constructed to be able to be freely stored within the main body, and the operating section is further covered with a covering member.

By doing this, only when the electric cooking appliance is used, the electric cooking device can be pulled out from inside the main body of the electric cooker, and the operating portion can be placed at an almost horizontal angle, so that the operating portion is not directly splashed with broth or water.

Example An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In Figure 1.2.3.4, 1 is the main body of the electric cooker, with a grill handle 5 attached to the front part 2 and a grill door 4.
In addition, an appropriate number of heating devices 3 made of sheathed heaters are provided on the upper part of the main body 1. Reference numeral 6 denotes an operating section, which is formed into an isosceles triangular cross section with one side (front side) 62 of a hollow elongated triangular prism located on the front section 2, and rotates around a shaft 9 that supports the apex of the operating section as a fulcrum. The moving body 9 has a structure that can be freely stored within the main body 1. 61 is the operation panel (see below).

This is a part corresponding to the upper side of the operation part B (panel surface), and in this panel surface 61 there is a switch for supplying electricity to each heating device 6, an off switch 15, and a switch for controlling the amount of heat of each heating device 3. It has a switch 16 and a strong switch 17. A display section 8 consisting of 10 LED lamps 13 is provided on the upper part of the front surface 2 to display the energization state and heat amount state of each heating device 5 in 10 steps.

10 is a magnetic clutch with push plate 11 and magnet 1
2, when the operating section 6 ft is stored in the main body 1, the - side 62 is pressed and the other side (rear side) 65 of the operating section 6 is pressed.
The other side 63 is configured to come into contact with and attract the magnet 12 when the push plate 11 is pressed by the push plate 11 . This pushing plate 11 maintains a fixed state when pushed in for the first time, and when pressed again through a pressing operation on the - side 62, it protrudes and separates the other side 63 from the magnet 12, and the /ζ wall surface It also has a structure that pushes out 61 from inside the main body 1.

14 is a covering member made of printed resin sheet.

It covers the panel surface 61 and allows the on/off switch 151, weak switch 162, and high switch 17 to be pressed from above the covering member 14.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be described.

When one side 62 of the operating part B is pressed, the other side 63 of the operating part 6 is detached from the magnet 12 as described above, rotates about the shaft 9, and the panel surface 61 comes out from the inside of the main body 1. Next, 60 people on the operating section press the off switch 15.

All ten LED lamps 13 of the display section 8 are lit to indicate the 2-high flame state, and the heating device 6 becomes hot. Furthermore, when you press the low switch 16 on the operation section 6, the display section 8 will change to
ED rung 13 disappears one by one.

Press the thorn switch 16 to adjust the amount of heat to your liking. In addition, when switching to high heat @r, when the strong switch 17 is pressed, the LED wraps 13 on the display section 8 light up in order each time the switch is pressed, allowing the user to freely adjust the amount of heat of the heating device 3.

When the switch 15 is pressed once, the heating device 5 is energized and 10 LED lamps 13 on the display section 8 are turned on. When the switch 15 is pressed again, the energization to the heating device 5 is cut off and the LEDs on the display section 8 are turned on.
All 10 lamps 13 go out. In addition, there is one operation section 6 and two display sections 8 as described above for each of the six heating devices.
All of the heating devices 3 can be operated separately as well.

In addition to the effects of the invention, according to the present invention, when the electric cooker is not in use, the panel surface can be stored inside the main body, and the front part of the 1uty4 cooker has a flat and simple appearance.

It matches well with a sink set to improve your appearance, and when using an electric cooker, the control section on the panel is tilted diagonally to a nearly horizontal angle, making it easy to press each switch for ease of use. It is possible to obtain an electric cooking appliance which has improved cleaning properties, such as being able to wipe off boiling liquid and water from the panel surface K more easily than before due to the covering member of the operation part.
