Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] (Industrial application field) This idea concerns the improvement of measuring rice bins.

(Prior technology) Conventionally, this type of measuring rice bin was made in 1974.
The one described in Publication No. 24857 is known. This product has a front door on the front of the container body that can be opened and closed to prevent damage to the weighing device, while a storage section is provided on the side of the container body, and a shelf that also serves as a door covers the storage section so that it can be opened and closed. I'm trying to get comfortable.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, in the case of the above-mentioned conventional example, the weighing device is provided on the front of the container body, and the storage section is provided on the side of the container body. Insertion and removal must be performed from different positions, which has the disadvantage of being extremely inconvenient to use.

In addition, the above-mentioned shelf that also serves as a door is effective in preventing dust from getting on the stored items, but as mentioned above, since the storage section is located in the front of the container body, the above-mentioned shelf that also serves as a door cannot be opened or closed. Since it is necessary to secure space on the side of the measuring rice bin for taking out and taking out stored items, it is not always possible to use the space in the kitchen effectively.

Furthermore, it is inconvenient that it is necessary to open the front door each time the rice in the container is weighed, which is cumbersome.

This invention was made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems in the conventional example, and the object is to provide a weighing rice jug that is extremely easy to use and can make effective use of a narrow space.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The measuring rice bin of this invention has the operating part of the measuring device facing the front of the rice bin body, and the operating part of the measuring device is placed in front of the rice bin body, avoiding the operating part of the measuring device. In addition to providing a storage section, the storage section is constructed so as to be able to be opened and closed with a front door that avoids the operating section of the weighing device.

(Example) An example of this invention will be described below based on FIG. 1.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a rice bin body, and the top plate 2 for opening and closing the input port 3 is provided at the top end of the rice bin body 1, and a bottom plate 4 is fixed to the bottom edge.
A box frame (not shown) is formed on the top, and a rice container 5 is housed in the box frame so as to be freely put in and taken out. A measuring device 6 is provided at the top of the rice container 5, with an outlet 6a at the lower end and an inlet 6b at the upper end. Communication is established by the actuation of a lever-type operating part 7, and a certain amount of rice is measured from a hopper 9 connected to the upper part of the measuring device 6 and supplied to the rice receiver 5. 10 is a viewing window formed above the operating section 7 for checking the remaining amount of rice in the hopper 9.

A suitable place on the front of the rice jug body 1 (4 in Fig. 1)
A storage shelf (storage section) 11 for storing stored items such as seasonings, grains, or canned goods is attached to the storage space with screws or the like. Front doors 12 and 13 are pivotally mounted to one corner of the front surface of the rice bin body 1 so as to be able to rotate freely in an arc, and the front doors 12 and 13 are configured to cover the storage shelf 11. It has been done. However, the front doors 12 and 13 are designed to cover the operating section 7 while avoiding it. A magnet is attached to the back end of the front doors 12, 13 on the side opposite to the pivoting side, while a metal piece such as iron that is attracted to the magnet is attached to the front of the rice bin body 1, and the magnet and the metal piece are attached to each other. The magnetic attraction force prevents the front doors 12, 13 from being opened inadvertently. By providing the front doors 12 and 13 in this manner, it is possible to prevent cockroaches, dust, etc. from entering each storage shelf 11, which is sanitary. In particular, when the front surface of the rice receiver 3 is also covered with the front door 13 as shown in the figure, there is a remarkable advantage of preventing dirt and the like from entering the rice receiver 3 and the hopper 6 from the outside. Although the operation part 7 of the measuring device 6 facing the front lower part of the rice jug main body 1 is not covered by the front doors 12 and 13 and is exposed, the operating part 7 of the rice jug main body 1 is exposed by a predetermined thickness.
The operation section 7 is surrounded by upper and lower front doors 12 and 13 that protrude from the front surface, and the front doors 12 and 1
Since it is disposed in a space recessed from the front surface of the controller 3 by the above-mentioned thickness, it is possible to prevent a moving wagon or other equipment from hitting the operating unit 7 and damaging it.

Furthermore, a viewing window 14 made of a transparent material is formed at the position of the front door 12 corresponding to the viewing window 10, so that the remaining amount of rice in the rice bin body 1 can be confirmed even when the front door 12 is closed. It's like this. 15 and 16 are handles for the front doors 12 and 13, respectively. A tray 17 is housed in a slide groove 18 formed in the upper part of the top plate 2 so as to be freely put in and taken out.

Note that it is also possible to configure one in which the storage shelf 11 and front door 13 provided at the bottom of the rice bin main body 1 are not provided. Also, as shown in Fig. 2, instead of the storage shelf 11 provided at the lower front of the rice bin main body 1 in Fig. 1, a rice receiving part 5 is provided in the left half of the lower part of the rice bin main body 1, and an empty space is formed in the right half. However, the empty space can be used as a storage section 19, and the rice container 5 and the storage section 19 can be covered with a front door 13 so as to be openable and closable.

The design of the storage shelf 11 is not limited to the above-mentioned shape and can be changed as appropriate, but since the items to be stored are stored in the storage shelf 11, it is easy to find the items to be stored by simply opening the front doors 12 and 13, and at the same time, it is easy to use. It has the advantage of being easy to organize.

The front doors 12 and 13 may be arbitrarily provided depending on the position of the storage shelf 11, and their shape is not limited to the single-open type as in the embodiment, but may be double-open or other types.

(Effect of the invention) As described above, the weighing rice bin of this invention is provided with the operating part of the measuring device and a storage part on the front of the rice bin body, and this storing part is installed in the front door avoiding the operating part of the measuring device. Since the cover is designed to be openable and closable, the following effects can be obtained.

(b) Since the storage section is located on the front of the rice jug body in the same way as the operation section of the measuring device, the operation of measuring and discharging the rice and the loading and unloading of stored items can be performed at the same location.
Extremely easy to use.

(b) Also, since the storage section on the front of the rice bin body is covered with a front door so that it can be opened and closed freely, unlike the conventional case where the storage section is provided on the side of the rice bin body,
There is no need to secure space on the side of the weighing rice bin for opening and closing the door and taking out and taking out stored items.
A small space can be used effectively.

(c) Since the storage section is provided on the side of the rice bin body, the load will not be concentrated on the front door side, and the front door can be opened and closed easily and there will be no collision of stored items with the opening/closing operation, so there will be no rattling. Opening and closing operations can be performed smoothly without any hassle. In addition, the rice bin itself is loaded with the weight of the stored items in addition to the weight of the rice, so
The installation of the entire measuring rice jug is stable, and the rice measuring and discharging operation as well as the loading and unloading of stored items can be performed smoothly.

(d) The front door that covers the storage compartment is provided to avoid the operation part of the weighing device, so it is possible to put in and take out the stored items independently of the operation of measuring and discharging rice, and the operation of measuring and discharging rice can also be carried out through the front door. This can be done without any problem even when the door is closed, making it extremely easy to use.
