Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a horn device used by covering valve devices such as pressure regulating valves and safety valves of pressure cookers and pots.

In a pressure cooker, the internal pressure increases as the heating time passes, and when the cooking process is complete, the internal pressure increases further, and the valve body loaded with weight opens, and steam is ejected from the pressure regulating valve. I'm starting to do that. Normally, we watch this steam and turn off the flame, but when we are doing housework in another room while cooking, we often do not notice the steam coming out from the pressure regulating valve, and we do not use it more than necessary. In some cases, the internal pressure could become so high that it could not be handled by the separately installed safety valve, which could become dangerous.

Therefore, attempts have been made to install a horn in valve devices such as pressure regulating valves and safety valves, but the sounding member increases resistance and makes it difficult to adjust the balance with the weight that closes the valve. It has not yet been put into practical use.

This idea was devised in order to solve the above problem. A horn is made separately from the valve device of the pressure cooker, etc., and the horn is placed over the valve device as needed, and the air blows out from the valve device. The sound is generated by the steam generated.

This invention will be explained in detail below using illustrated examples.

The horn 1 has a cylinder body 3 of a required weight, which has an inner diameter sufficient to cover a valve device B such as a pressure regulating valve or a safety valve provided on a lid A of a pressure cooker, and is closed by a top plate 2 at the top. , a hole 5 is bored in the center of the plate 4, and the plate 4 is vibrated by the steam passing through the hole 5.
It consists of a whistle member 6 that generates a high-pitched sound.

The illustrated flute member 6 has a known structure in which a steam hole 5 is bored in the center of a plate 4 provided above and below with a gap 7 left in between. It is installed.

Note that 8 in the figure is a sealing material embedded in the opening edge of the cylindrical body 3.

The horn 1 having the above structure is used by placing it over the valve device B, and when steam is ejected from the valve device B and the steam is further ejected from the hole, a horn is emitted. Therefore, if you place the horn 1 over the valve device when doing housework or other tasks in another room, you will be able to hear the end of the cooking process using the horn.

As mentioned above, this device uses a whistle member attached to a cylindrical body with a top plate that covers the valve device, so it can normally be removed and placed, and moreover, the steam pressure emitted from the valve device Because it makes you pronounce it,
There is no need to consider the weight balance or structure of the valve device, and it can be used easily. Furthermore, since it is composed of a cylindrical body and a flute member, the structure is extremely simple, and since there are no moving parts, there is no failure and it can be manufactured at low cost.
