Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of an electric rice cooker.

In the conventional electric rice cooker, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the steam generated in the inner pot 9 during rice cooking passes through the steam passage port 61 of the inner lid 6, the opening 82 of the steam hole 8, and the passage 83. It is discharged into the atmosphere through the spout 81. However, in this case, since the spout 81 is located directly above the passage port 61, the positional relationship between the handle part 21 of the lid 2 and the spout 81 is determined by the size of the inner lid 6, and the inner lid 6 is made smaller. In this case, the distance between the handle part 21 and the spout 81 becomes short,
When a user holds the handle portion 21 to operate the device, there are problems such as steam ejected from the spout 81 splashing onto the user's hands.

The present invention was made to solve the above problems, and the object is to provide an electric rice cooker that does not expose the user's hands to steam when operating the rice cooker by holding the handle. . For this purpose, a spout is provided at an eccentric portion of the passage port, the vertical positional relationship between the passage port and the spout is shifted, and the distance between the handle portion and the spout is made as far as possible.

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

In Figs. 3 and 4, reference numeral 1 denotes the main body of the electric rice cooker, which has an opening at the top and is formed into a cylindrical body with a bottom. 2 is a lid that can be opened and closed, and is provided at the top of the main body 1 so as to cover the opening, and a handle part 2 is attached to the top of the lid.
1, and is attached to the main body 1 via a hinge screw 3 provided on the handle portion 21.
Reference numeral 4 denotes a heat radiation plate which is attached to the inside of the lid 2 and has a rubber bush 7 interposed with a fixing bolt 5 attached to the center thereof. Reference numeral 6 denotes an inner lid, which has a steam passage port 61 inside, and is located below the heat sink 4 and is attached to the rubber bush 7 at its center so as to cover the opening of the inner pot 9 housed inside the main body 1. This is the one that has been installed. Reference numeral 8 denotes a steam hole, which is attached to the inner cover 6 and has a flat hollow cylindrical opening 82 located above the passage port 61 at the bottom thereof.
A hollow cylindrical steam passage 83 is provided above the lid 2 so as to pass through the lid 2, and a steam outlet 81 facing the atmosphere is provided above the passage 83.

The operation of the present invention will be described below.

Steam generated in the inner pot 9 during rice cooking is discharged to the atmosphere through the outlet 81 through the passage port 61 of the inner lid 6, the opening 82 of the steam hole 8, and the passage 83. However, since the vertical positional relationship between the passage port 61 and the spout 81 is eccentric to avoid the handle portion 21, the distance between the handle portion 21 of the lid 2 and the spout 81 becomes large, making it difficult for the user to move the handle portion 21. Even if the user holds the container and operates it, the steam ejected from the spout 81 does not come into contact with the user's hands.

As described above, by making the positional relationship between the passage port and the jet port eccentric as in the present invention, it is possible to increase the distance between the handle part and the jet port, and the steam from the jet port can be directed to the user when operating the device. We can provide an electric rice cooker that does not require much effort.
