Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a pressure cooker typified by a pressure cooker.

Conventionally, pressure cookers are generally equipped with a weighted valve body as a pressure regulating valve that serves both to regulate pressure and discharge internal steam, or as a safety valve that serves both to reduce pressure and discharge internal steam in the event of an abnormality. This valve body prevents food from scattering due to the internal pressure when the lid is opened after cooking, and to ensure safety against burns, the internal steam must be discharged and removed before opening the lid. However, it is difficult to store the removed valve body, which is not only inconvenient to use, but also because it gets hot, it can have a bad effect on the varnish when placed on a dining table, or it can roll and fall, making it unstable and causing damage to utensils and people. There were drawbacks that caused damage to the vehicle and raised safety issues.

The present invention was made to eliminate the above drawbacks, and the removed valve body can be stably placed nearby using the handle of the pressure cooker, making it easy to use without causing damage to equipment or the human body. It is to provide setting the location.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
The structure of the embodiment is as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, where 1 is the pressure cooker main body, and 2 is a heating element, which is installed on the protective frame 3 inside the pressure cooker main body 1. be. Reference numeral 5 denotes a lid having an inverted dish shape, which covers the opening of the cooking container 4 via a gasket 6, and has a handle 4 attached opposite the outer periphery of the lid, and is detachably engaged with the upper edge of the opening of the cooking container 4. It is configured to do this. 7
is a valve body, which is a pressure regulating valve 10 provided on the lid 5 or a valve body 7 which is a weight of a safety valve. 9 is the notch and the lid 5
A handle 8 partially suspended on an inverted dish-shaped inclined surface 11 has a U-shaped cutout 9 that opens toward the center of the lid 5 at the tip of the handle 8, and the inner surface of the cutout 9 is inclined. It is provided so as to stand substantially upright on the surface 11 and to accommodate the valve body 7 in the notch 9 thereof.

The operation of this embodiment is such that the cooking container 4 containing the food to be cooked is placed on the heating element 3 in the pressure cooker body 1, airtightly covered with the lid 5 through the gasket 6, and the heating element 3 is energized to heat the cooking container. The pressure inside the cooking container 4 rises and when it reaches the set pressure or higher, the valve body 7 of the pressure regulating valve 10 swings, and the pores (not shown) pass through to the atmosphere, discharging the steam inside the cooking container 4 into the atmosphere and keeping the pressure constant. It holds pressure. When opening the lid 5 after cooking is completed, the valve body 7 of the pressure regulating valve 10 is removed and released in order to release the internal pressure to prevent danger.The removed valve body 7 is inserted into the U-shaped notch provided in the handle 8. 9, the lid 5 is opened from the cooking container 4 after the steam inside the cooking container 4 has been sufficiently discharged. In this way, the valve body 7 is connected to the U of the notch 9 that stands upright on the inclined surface 11 of the lid 5.
By abutting and locking against the bottom of the letter shape by its own weight, it moves together with the lid 5 while being safely stored, preventing it from falling, rolling, or being left anywhere.

According to the present invention, there is a handle suspended on the inverted dish-shaped inclined surface of the lid, and a U-shaped notch opening toward the center of the lid is formed at the tip of the handle, and the inner surface of the notch is formed on the inclined surface. By arranging the valve body so that it stands almost upright and can be stored in the notch, the steam inside the cooking container of the pressure cooker can be discharged after cooking is completed, and the valve body of the removed pressure regulating valve or safety valve can be installed in the handle of the lid. The valve body can be stored in the cutout and stably placed nearby, and is effective in eliminating the risk of moving, falling, or being left unattended and lost, causing damage to property or the human body.It is an easy-to-use valve body location. This is a pressure cooker with settings.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] In a pressure cooker having an inverted dish-shaped lid and a handle and a valve body of a pressure regulating valve or a safety valve weight, there is a handle 8 suspended on an inverted dish-shaped inclined surface 11 of the lid 5, and a handle 8 at the tip of the handle 8. A U-shaped notch 9 is formed that opens toward the center of the lid 5, and the inner surface of the notch 9 stands approximately upright on the inclined surface 11, so that the valve body 7 can be stored in the notch 9.
