Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a soup receiving device for a cooker such as a jar-type rice cooker.

Conventional structure and its problems In a conventional cooker, for example, a jar-type rice cooker, a removable soup container is provided in the upper part of the container facing the rotational fulcrum of the lid, and when the lid is opened, I was trying to catch the soup that was running down my body. The soup in the container is designed to be removed and thrown away as appropriate, but sometimes people forget to do this, so a groove is installed in one wall of the soup container to allow the soup to overflow. In this case, a configuration was adopted in which the groove was used as a guide to allow the water to overflow. The groove is formed on the rear wall of the container, that is, on the side facing the container body, taking into consideration the appearance. Therefore, the substantial entrance side opening of the groove is a space defined by the groove wall and the container body.

However, with the above configuration, the inlet opening may be blocked due to the surface tension of the soup, and more than a specified amount of soup may accumulate in the container. As is well known, in jar-type rice cookers that have a heater on the lid, the lead wire is led to the upper part of the soup container through the fulcrum part that undergoes the least rotational displacement when opening and closing the lid, and there In most cases, it is connected to the lead wire.

Therefore, if more than a specified amount of soup accumulates in the container, it becomes a problem in maintaining the insulation of the electrical connection part, leading to a loss of safety.

Moreover, it also caused the soup to enter the vessel, which was not desirable.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional method, and ensures that the soup does not overflow from the soup receiving container, thereby preventing the deterioration of electrical insulation due to the soup.

Structure of the Invention The present invention comprises a cooking device main body, a rotatable lid for opening and closing the upper opening, and a soup receiving container attached to the cooking device main body in correspondence with the rotational fulcrum of the lid. In addition, a vertical groove is formed in the back wall of the soup container, which corresponds to the cooking device main body, to serve as a soup overflow path, and a notch is provided in the upper groove wall of this groove. In this device, the cutout prevents blockage caused mainly by the surface tension of the soup on the entrance side of the groove.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

The figure shows a jar-type rice cooker; 1 is a container with a rice-cooking heater and a pot inside; 2 is a protective frame attached to its upper open end; 3 is a lid with a built-in heater for keeping warm. , is rotatably attached to a hinge portion 4 integrally formed with the protective frame 2. Reference numeral 5 denotes a soup flow hole formed in the protective frame 2 and located on both sides of the hinge portion 4; 6 is a soup receiving container that can be attached to and detached from the container body 1, and is opposed to the bottom of the hinge portion 4 of the protective frame 2; Moreover, the lower part of the drip hole 5 is surrounded. The back wall 7 of the soup receiving container 6 facing the container body 1 is located with a small gap t between it and the container body 1, and furthermore, a groove 8 is formed in the center vertically to serve as a soup overflow path. . And this groove 8
A notch 9 is provided in the upper groove wall.

In the above configuration, the soup adhering to the bottom surface of the lid body 3 flows onto the protective frame 2 when the lid is opened.
The soup then flows down from the soup flow hole 5 into the soup receiving container 6. For the Tatsutatsu soup, use the soup container 6 as appropriate.
It can be disposed of by removing it.

By the way, when the amount of soup in the soup receiving container 6 reaches a certain value when the soup is forgotten to be disposed of, the excess soup overflows through the groove 8 of the rear wall 7 and the small gap t. Therefore, the amount of soup in the soup receiving container 6 does not increase any further.

Regarding the above-mentioned soup overflow operation, the notch 9 is formed in the upper groove wall of the groove 8, and the inlet opening area thereof is substantially enlarged, so that the surface tension of the soup prevents the entrance side from being blocked. This will ensure that the soup will overflow without any leakage.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, the overflow of soup is ensured, so that the amount of soup in the soup receiving container is kept below a certain level. Therefore, even if there is an electrical connection part above the container, there is no insulation deterioration, and safety can be ensured, and failures caused by intrusion into the container can also be prevented.

Furthermore, since the actual inlet opening area is expanded by the notch in the groove wall, the depth of the groove should be set taking into consideration the fluidity of the soup, and the depth of the groove should not be made unnecessarily large for the purpose of preventing blockage. This allows for more effective use of the container volume.
