2 is an exploded perspective view illustrating a pot equipped with a timer alarm device according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 is an enlarged perspective view showing an enlarged timer alarm device according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 Is a functional block diagram for schematically illustrating a timer alarm device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Figure 2 to 4, the pot according to an embodiment of the present invention, the container body 100 to form a receiving portion to contain food; A handle 200 fixedly coupled to both sides of the upper end of the container body 100; A timer alarm device 300 detachably coupled to one side of the handle 200 and generating an alarm sound when a set time elapses; It is configured to include a lid 400 provided to open and close the receiving portion of the container body (100).

In the above-described configuration, a groove 210 of a predetermined size is formed on one side of the handle 200, and the metal member 220 is fixedly coupled to the bottom surface of the groove 210.

In this case, the bottom surface of the groove 210 and the metal member 220 may be firmly bonded using a general industrial adhesive, and the like, but are not limited thereto. The metal member 220 may be the bottom of the groove 210. It may be fixedly coupled by molding together with the handle 200 to slightly protrude into the surface.

Timer alarm device 300, consisting of a cylindrical housing 310 constituting the body bar, a built-in installation so that a part of the protrusion formed on the upper surface of the housing 310, the time setting unit provided to set the time at a predetermined interval 320; A command input unit 330 which is installed so as to protrude to a part of the outer circumferential surface of the housing 310 and inputs a start or stop command for the operation of the controller 370 to be described later; An operation state display unit 340 installed in an outer circumferential surface of the housing 310 so as to protrude, and displaying an operation state of the controller 370 to be described later; An alarm generator 350 for generating an alarm sound to the user; An alarm generating unit 360 driving the alarm generating unit 350; A control unit 370 installed in the housing 310 and receiving input signals from the time setting unit 320 and the command input unit 330 to control the operation of the operation state display unit 340 and the alarm generation driver 360; A power supply unit 380 installed in the housing 310 to supply operating power to the respective units; It is fixedly installed on the bottom of the housing 310, and is inserted into the recess 210 of the handle 200 comprises a permanent magnet 390 provided to be detachable to the metal member 220.

In the above-described configuration, the housing 310 is formed in a cylindrical shape, but is not limited thereto, and may be formed in a square or polygonal shape instead of a circular shape.

The time setting unit 320 is preferably implemented as a general rotary dial select switch (Select Switch) 322. At this time, the head portion 324 of the select switch 322 is formed to protrude on the upper surface of the housing 310 so that the user can easily hold by hand. In addition, the outer surface of the head 324 is spaced apart at regular intervals on the upper surface of the housing 310, the numbers 326 (for example, 2 minutes, 4 minutes, ..., 16 minutes) indicating the set time Preferably, the projection 328 is formed to indicate.

The command input unit 330 may be any switch (for example, a push switch, a button switch, a tumbler switch, etc.) provided to control ON / OFF, but a normal button switch (Button) Switch).

The operation state display unit 340 may change electrical energy into light energy (for example, light bulbs, LEDs, LCDs, etc.), and may be any, but implemented as a general LED (Light Emitting Diode). Is preferred.

The alarm generating unit 350 is installed so that a part of the housing 310 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the housing 310, and may be any type as long as it can represent electrical energy as voice energy (for example, a speaker or a buzzer). In the present invention, it is preferable to be implemented as a buzzer.

The power supply unit 380 is installed in the housing 310, but it is preferable to use a small mercury battery in general, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and a general small battery may be used.

On the other hand, the combination of the bottom of the housing 310 and the permanent magnet 390 can be firmly bonded using a conventional industrial adhesive, such as, but not limited to, the permanent magnet 390 to the bottom of the housing 310 It may be fixedly coupled by molding together with the housing 310 so that a part protrudes.

Hereinafter will be described in detail the operation of the pot provided with a timer alarm device according to an embodiment of the present invention having the above-described configuration.

First, the user puts the ingredients of the food to be cooked in the container body 100, covers the lid 400, and heats the container body 100 to cook the food. At this time, the permanent magnet 390 attached to the bottom surface of the housing 310 of the timer alarm device 300 is inserted into the recess 210 of the handle 200 provided with the metal member 220 and attached thereto.

Then, turn the head 323 of the select switch 322 by hand to position the desired setting time, for example, 6 minutes, and then press the command input unit 330 once, the control unit 370, the time setting unit 320 At the same time as the set time, i.e., 6 minutes, the operation signal is output to the operation state display unit 340 to indicate the operation state of the controller 370.

Then, the control unit 370 completely counts the set time 6 minutes, and then outputs an operation signal to the alarm generating driver 360 to generate an alarm sound in the alarm generating unit 350.

At this time, the user hears the alarm sound generated by the alarm generating unit 350 and presses the command input unit 330 again, so that the control operation of the control unit 370, that is, the operation state display unit 340 and the alarm generating driver 360 Will stop the control operation.

On the other hand, when washing the pot of the present invention by removing the timer alarm device 300 attached to the handle 200 by hand so as not to enter the water, and then wash the pot with water.

Therefore, by detachably mounting a timer alarm device that generates an alarm sound when the set time elapses on the handle of the pot according to the present invention configured as described above, the user can easily confirm the completion of cooking as well as effectively save energy can do.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment of a pot equipped with a timer alarm device according to the present invention, the present invention is not limited to this, but the utility model registration claims and the detailed description of the invention and the scope of the accompanying drawings in various ways It is possible to perform the transformation to this also belongs to the present invention.

For example, in the embodiment of the present invention, the coupling of the handle of the pot and the timer alarm device is detachably coupled by magnetic force, but is not limited thereto, and may be configured to be detachable by screwing.

According to the pot with a timer alarm device of the present invention as described above, by detachably equipped with a timer alarm device for generating an alarm sound when the set time elapses on the handle of the pot, the user can easily confirm the completion of cooking In addition to being able to save energy effectively.

In addition, by detachably attaching the timer alarm device to the handle of the pot, when the pot is washed with water, the timer alarm device is less likely to come into contact with water, and the timer alarm device can be used alternately with other pots. There is this.
