Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention is characterized in that a rice ladle used in a rice-warming pot, generally called a rice-cooking jar, is integrally fitted into the rice-warming pot. Regarding the heat-retaining pot, it is particularly effective in preventing uncleanness caused by unhygienic use of the rice scoop in the rice-warming pot after rice cooking is completed, and preventing drying and hardening and yellowing of rice grains attached to the rice scoop during use.

Traditionally, rice ladles, which are used in households and restaurants to remove rice from a rice-warming pot after cooking is complete, are used to leave the rice in the inner pot or to place it on the lid of the pot. It is usually placed in a nearby place, and for convenience, it is often left in the inner pot that holds the rice.In this case, the handle of the rice scoop gets wet with steam and becomes slimy and unpleasant. Not only was it bad, it was hot, and the handle touched the rice in the inner pot, making it unclean.

Recently, a method has been developed in which a ladle case is attached to the outside of the thermos and the ladle is stored in it, but this prevents the handle of the ladle from getting wet with steam or becoming hot. The problem is that the rice grains stuck to the ladle dry and solidify or cool down due to the outside air, and the rice ends up being served with the ladle with the solidified or cooled rice grains attached, resulting in the rice getting spoiled. Moreover, the ladle case was soiled with rice grains, which had to be washed again and again, and the complicated structure of the case made it difficult to clean, and the structure was unsanitary.

Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to eliminate these drawbacks of the conventional ones, and to prevent the handle of the rice scoop from getting wet or hot, as well as to prevent the handle of the rice scoop from directly touching the rice in the inner pot. We have developed an inexpensive heated rice cooker that prevents unsanitary conditions caused by touching the rice scoop, prevents rice grains attached to the rice scoop from drying out, hardening, and cooling, and has a simple structure in which the rice scoop can be placed. There is a lot to offer.

The gist of this invention is to provide a recessed part 3 in which the handle 2a of a heat-resistant rice scoop 2 can be fitted and placed at any location on the upper edge of the outer periphery of the pot 1 in the main body of the rice-warming pot;
Furthermore, when the lid is closed, a recessed part 4 into which the handle of a rice scoop can be fitted is provided at a part of the lower edge of the outer periphery of the lid body "corresponding to the recessed part 3 on the upper edge of the inner pot", and the both recessed notches 3 are provided. , 4 are respectively fitted with stretchable gaskets 3', 4' for preventing leakage of water vapor inside the inner pot, and the outer pot 5, which is in contact with the outside of the concave notch 3 on the upper edge of the inner pot, is made of synthetic resin or metal on the outside. An arm 6 such as the above is provided so as to protrude so that its tip is located in the direction of the concave notch 3 on the upper edge of the inner pot, and a rice scoop retaining insertion groove 8 or a rice scoop retaining magnet is attached to the arm tip. 9 is provided with a rice scoop retaining part 7.

Although the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, an embodiment thereof will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the drawings are just examples, and the invention is not limited thereto.

As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 4, fit the handle 2a of a heat-resistant rice scoop 2 into an arbitrary position on the outer periphery upper edge 1' of the inner pot 1 of the main body B of the rice warming pot A shown in FIG. It has a recessed part 3 that can be placed there, and when the lid is closed, the lid body C
A recessed part 4 into which the handle 2a of the rice scoop 2 can be fitted is provided at a portion of the lower outer edge C' that "corresponds to the recessed part 3 of the upper edge of the inner pot," and both recessed parts 3 and 4 are Stretchable packing 3' to prevent water vapor leakage inside the inner pot.
4' is attached, and an arm 6 made of synthetic resin, metal, etc. is attached to the outside of the upper part of the outer hook 5 which is in contact with the outer side of the recessed part 3 on the upper edge of the inner hook, and its tip 6' is attached to the recessed notch 3 on the upper edge of the inner hook. A rice ladle retaining insertion groove 8 is attached to the arm tip 6' to form a rice ladle retaining part 7, and the rice ladle 2 is held in a flat shape. Then, the handle 2a is fitted into the recessed notch 3 on the upper edge of the inner pot, and furthermore, when the lid is closed, it can be fitted into the recessed notch 4 on the upper edge C' of the lid C, and the handle tip 2a' By inserting the rice ladle into the rice ladle holding insertion groove 8, the rice ladle 2 is formed so as to be held flat and horizontally, thereby completing a cooked rice warming pot into which a rice ladle can be inserted.

The arm 6 may be made of metal, and the rice scoop may be held in place by attaching a magnet 9 to the contact surface of the rice scoop handle 2a with the arm tip 6' as shown in Figure 5. This is an embodiment of the present invention.

In addition, similar effectiveness can be achieved by implementing the configuration according to the technical idea of the present invention on the inner surface of the lid C (see Fig. 6), and in this case, it is also substantially the same as the present invention. Needless to say.

In the drawings, 10 indicates a code, 11 indicates a switch and a pilot lamp device, and 12 indicates cooked rice.

The greatest feature of this invention is that the handle 2a of the rice scoop 2 is fitted into the recessed notch 3 provided on the upper edge of the outer periphery of the inner pot 1, and placed horizontally on the arm 6 protruding upward from the outside of the outer pot 55. By retaining the tip 2a' of the handle 2a with the rice ladle retaining part 7 provided at the arm tip 6', the main body 2b of the rice ladle 2 is placed in the upper part of the inner pot 1, separated from the rice; The handle 2a is placed outside the inner pot 1, and unlike the case where the entire rice scoop 2 is placed inside the inner pot, the handle 2a is placed outside the inner pot 1.
Handling the rice scoop is extremely comfortable, as the rice scoop (a) does not get wet or slimy due to the steam in the inner pot, nor does it become hot, and the handle (2a) does not come into direct contact with the rice in the inner pot (1). It is extremely hygienic, and unlike when the entire rice scoop 2 is placed outside the pot, the rice grains attached to the rice scoop will not dry, harden, or turn yellow.
There is a remarkable effect in that you can always keep warm and delicious rice meals without having to cool the rice and therefore without having to eat the rice mixed with these deteriorated rice grains.

In addition, in this invention, elastic packing 3' is provided around the recessed part 3 provided on the upper edge of the outer periphery of the inner pot into which the rice scoop is inserted, and around the recessed part 4 provided on the lower edge of the outer periphery of the lid body.
4' is attached, so the gasket expands not only when the rice ladle is inserted, but also during rice cooking and when the rice ladle is removed after cooking is completed, and acts to close the recessed part. This prevents the water vapor in the inner pot from leaking out of the pot, resulting in delicious cooked rice.

Furthermore, in this invention, the rice scoop is formed so that it can be fitted integrally and removably into the upper part of the heat-insulating pot, so it does not get stuck in the place where the rice scoop is placed.
The raising and lowering process is easy and hassle-free, and it also looks good, and because of the above-mentioned structure, the rice scoop is less dirty compared to conventional ones, reducing the number of steps needed to wash it. effective.

As mentioned above, the present invention is a rice cooker that is hygienic, always maintains cleanliness, allows you to eat delicious meals on a daily basis, is easy to handle, has a very unique rice scoop inserted in it, and is produced at a low cost. This can be said to be a rational and convenient heated rice cooker that can be provided at a low price and is suitable for many people.
