Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a rice cooker, and its purpose is to provide a rice cooker that is easy to use.

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

In the figure, 1 is the rice cooker main body, which is composed of the following parts. 2 is an outer case; 3 is an outer pot disposed within the outer case 2 via a heat insulating material 4;
5 is a removable inner pot disposed within the outer pot 3 through a predetermined space 6; 7 is a rice cooking heater disposed below the space 5; and 8 is disposed on the upper outer side of the outer pot 3. 9 is an annular mounting frame disposed above between the outer case 2 and the outer pot 3; 10 is a bottom frame disposed below the outer case 2; is blocked. 11 is a cord reel, 12 is a control unit consisting of a timer switch for controlling the heaters 7, 8, etc., a lamp for notifying rice cooking status, etc., and the rice cooker main body 1 is constituted by the above-mentioned parts. .

Reference numeral 13 denotes a lid body that closes the upper opening of the rice cooker main body 1, and is composed of an outer lid 14, a handle cover 15, a lid latch push button 16, a heat-retaining heater (not shown), etc., and is opened and closed by a hinge 17, which will be described later. It is freely supported. Reference numeral 17 denotes a hinge body 18 which is integrally formed with the mounting frame 9 and whose outer side is open, as shown in detail in FIGS. 3 and 4, and this hinge body 18.
As shown in detail in FIGS. 3 and 4, the hinge 20 consists of a pin 19 provided in the lid body 13, and a portion 21 that closes the opening of the hinge 17, and a condensation cup engaging portion. A hinge cover consisting of a locking protrusion 22 and a bottomed hollow box-shaped shiyamoji receiving locking protrusion 23 that is integrally provided below the protrusion 22. It is attached to the rice cooker main body 1 so as to be in close contact with it. Note that the hinge cover 20's handle locking convex portion 23 is located below the dew pan 25 so as not to interfere with attachment and detachment of the dew pan 25 when the dew pan 25, which will be described later, is attached to the hinge cover 20. It has been designed with consideration given to its location.

Reference numeral 25 denotes a condensation receiving cup that is detachably provided on the hinge cover 20 by engaging the protrusion 22 of the hinge cover 20 with an internal concave groove 26;
When opened, it serves to catch dew that falls from holes 9A etc. formed in the mounting frame 9.

Reference numeral 27 includes a square hole 28 having a size large enough to insert the locking protrusion 23 at the upper end thereof, and a predetermined gap A on the upper side of the square hole 28 that extends downward and forms a predetermined gap A between the sides of the square hole 28 and the upper side of the square hole 28. (a gap slightly larger than the wall thickness of the locking convex part of the hinge cover)
By inserting the locking protrusion 23 of the hinge cover 20 into the square hole 28 of the bag-shaped shiyamoji receiver with a It is detachably attached to the locking convex portion 23. Also, the protruding height of this shiyamoji receiver 27 is
It is configured to be flat so that it hardly protrudes beyond the dew receiving cup 25. Furthermore, the shiyamoji receiving opening 30 of the shiyamoji receiver 27 allows the shiyamoji receiver 27 to be connected to the locking convex portion 2 of the hinge cover 20.
3, the desired angle (α) to the front with respect to the perpendicular line is set so that the shiyamoji 31 can be taken in and out from the front (operating section side) of the rice cooker main body 1 as shown in FIG.
It is slanted (approximately 5° to 45°).

Reference numeral 32 denotes a latch, which engages with a latch (not shown) operated by the push button 15 on the lid 13 and serves to ensure that the lid 13 is closed when the lid 13 is closed. do.

The rice cooker according to this invention is configured as described above.

Therefore, according to the embodiment of this invention, the shiyamoji receiver 27 is not located on the hooking part 32 side as in the conventional case, but is located on the dew receiving cup 25 side. When holding the scroll 31, the scroll 31 does not become distorted when opening and closing the lid 13, and moreover, when opening the lid 13, the scroll 31 is positioned in the same direction as the hand movement direction. Therefore, the handle 31 can be grabbed immediately after opening the lid 13.

In addition, the shiyamoji receiver 27 is connected to the dew receiver cup 2.
5, and the cup 27 is located below the condensation cup 25 which is already protruding (which has no choice but to protrude outward due to the structure). There is no increase in the number of protrusions (protrusions caused by the holder 27) other than the cup 25, etc., and the provision of the holder 27 prevents the balance of the overall design of the rice cooker from being disrupted. With no,
When packaging, the packaging only needs to be the same size as conventional packaging. Further, since the locking convex portion 23 for locking the scroll support 27 is integrally provided on the hinge cover 20, the number of parts is hardly increased by providing the shift support 27.

In addition, since the shiyamoji receiving opening 30 of the shiyamoji receiver 27 is inclined forward, the shiyamoji 31
can be taken in and out from the front. Further, the hinge cover 20 is provided with a box-shaped locking protrusion 23 , the sash and screw holder 27 is provided with a square hole 28 into which the locking protrusion 23 is inserted, and a tongue piece 29 , and the locking protrusion 2
3 into the square hole 28 and the tongue piece 29 into the locking protrusion 23 to lock the shiyamoji receiver 27 to the locking protrusion 23 of the hinge cover 20. 27 can be easily removed during cleaning, but it is difficult to remove during use, and since the side walls of the locking protrusion 23 are inserted into the gap A on both sides of the tongue piece 29, there is no lateral vibration during use.

As described above, according to this invention, a lid body that closes the opening is supported on the upper opening of the rice cooker body by a hinge so that it can be opened and closed freely, and a condensation catch cup is provided on this hinge part. In the above, a shiyamoji receiver locking part is provided integrally with the hinge cover at the lower part of the hinge cover of the hinge, and a shiyamoji receiver that is removably engaged with the shiyamoji receiver locking part is provided in the lower part of the hinge cover of the hinge. It is located directly below the dew cup and does not protrude outward from the dew cup, making it easy to use.Moreover, by providing a squirrel holder, there is almost no increase in the number of parts, and it is easy to use. It is possible to obtain a rice cooker that does not disrupt the design balance of the entire rice cooker and can be packaged in the same size as a conventional rice cooker.
