Description

Lid and cooker

The present invention relates to a lid of a cooking container and a cooking device provided with the lid.

In general, stewed dishes such as curry and boiled foods are made together for several days, increased in umami ingredients, or put to sleep to soak the taste, etc. Often done. In particular, when a person who cooks is working outside, it is often the case that a dish is prepared so that it can be eaten immediately after returning home. In addition, foods that cannot be eaten at one time or remain for the convenience of the family are often stored in the refrigerator and eaten after a while.

However, the preservation of food at room temperature leads to the growth of bacteria, and in particular in summer, there is a risk of food poisoning.

For this reason, refrigerators are generally used for food storage. Food is generally transferred to storage containers and dishes and stored in the refrigerator, or the cooking utensils such as pots used for cooking are stored in the refrigerator for the purpose of reheating after a while. Saved.

For example, Patent Document 1 discloses that a heating container capable of freezing and refrigerated storage of food includes a container body and a lid that covers the container body. There is disclosed a heat-resistant container provided with a handle extending in the vicinity of the lid body and provided with a hinge lock at a position facing the handle of the container main body in the periphery of the lid.

Further, Patent Document 2 includes a container having a handle on the outer peripheral side surface and a lid having a downward-facing collar on the outer periphery of the upper surface as a container used for storing food or cooking. A container is disclosed in which a plurality of steam holes are provided from the upper surface of the body to the buttock, and a knob for opening and closing the lid is provided outside the buttock.

Japanese Patent Publication “JP 2012-56587 A” (published March 22, 2012) Japanese Patent Publication “JP 2012-143385 A (published August 2, 2012)”

However, when a container made of plastic, heat-resistant glass, earthenware, or the like, which is heated by a microwave oven or the like, as in the heating container described in Patent Document 1, a large amount of food cannot be heated at a time.

In addition, such a heating container needs to transfer food from cooking utensils such as pots when storing food. Moreover, when the reheated food is arranged on the table, the reheated food is often transferred again from such a heated container to a serving container (vessel) such as a plate. For this reason, compared with the case where food is directly placed on a plate, for example, from a cooking appliance such as a pan, there are drawbacks that it takes time and washing increases.

Moreover, the container of patent document 2 aims at performing steam extraction at the time of heat cooking at low cost, ensuring the airtightness at the time of storage in the container used for heat cooking, such as a refrigerator. It is not assumed that containers will be stacked when stored in

For this reason, in the container of Patent Document 2, the upper surface of the lid is not flat, and a protrusion is provided on the upper surface of the lid. For this reason, the container of patent document 2 cannot stack another container stably on it depending on the shape and size of the bottom face of the container stacked on it. For this reason, the limited space in the refrigerator or the like cannot be used effectively. In particular, in the summer, food cannot be kept outside the refrigerator, and therefore, when the containers cannot be stacked, there is a risk that the preservation of the food may be hindered.

In addition, neither of Patent Documents 1 and 2 assumes that the container is used as it is at the table. For example, foods such as soup and curry are often placed in a container such as a plate on a table with the food in a pan, assuming a substitute. However, the containers of Patent Documents 1 and 2 place importance on hermeticity and do not assume frequent opening and closing of the lid. The containers of Patent Documents 1 and 2 do not have a handle on the upper surface of the lid, and the handle cannot be removed as it is, so that the operability is poor.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a lid for a cooking container that can be easily opened and closed and on which an object to be mounted can be mounted. The object is to provide a cooker with a lid.

In order to solve the above problems, a lid according to one embodiment of the present invention is a lid of a cooking container, and has a flat surface on which an object to be mounted can be mounted on an upper surface, and a part of the flat surface. In addition, at least one recess having a protrusion is provided inside, and the protrusion includes a handle or a support that supports the handle, and the protrusion is mounted when the object to be mounted is mounted on the flat surface. The part does not protrude upward from the flat surface.

In order to solve the above problems, a cooking device according to one aspect of the present invention includes the lid according to one aspect of the present invention and the cooking container.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a lid of a cooking container that can be easily opened and closed and on which an object to be mounted can be mounted, and a cooking device including such a lid can be provided. .

For this reason, even if the user sets the inner pot 4 on the main body 2 with the storage lid 5 attached and tries to close the assembly lid 3 by mistake, the assembly lid 3 is not closed and stored incorrectly. It is possible to prevent cooking from starting with the lid 5 attached.

<Modification>
(Relationship between protrusion and loading surface)
In the present embodiment, the case where the handle 66 is provided as the protrusion in the second recess 64 and the upper surface 86 of the handle 66 is flush with the first flat surface 61 has been described as an example. However, the protrusion may be the handle itself or a support for providing the handle.

That is, in the storage lid 5 shown in FIG. 1, the case where the portion excluding the cap portion 81 is made of the same material and the portion excluding the cap portion 81 is integrally formed has been described as an example. It may be provided freely.

Further, in the present embodiment, the case where the cap portion 81 is screwed to the support 71 with the screw 91 from the back surface side of the recess 73 provided in the support 71 has been described as an example. However, when the support body 71 is provided integrally with the second recess 64 as shown in FIG. 1, a male screw and a female screw may be provided on the cap portion 81 and the support body 71 itself. That is, the cap part 81 and the support body 71 can be screwed together, and the cap part 81 may be detachably provided on the support body 71.

Thus, when the cap part 81 is provided in the support body 71 so that attachment or detachment is possible, in the state which removed the cap part 81 from the support body 71, the 2nd flat surface 63 is made into a to-be-mounted object mounting surface (support part). A container having a bottom diameter equal to or smaller than the diameter of the second recess 64 can be stacked on the inner pot 4 to which the storage lid 5 is attached.

However, it is more preferable that the protrusion is the handle itself. In the case where the protrusion is the handle itself, it is possible to save the trouble of attaching and detaching the handle and the cap portion 81. Further, it is not necessary to separately store the removed handle and the cap part 81.

For this reason, in the present embodiment, as illustrated by the solid line in FIG. 1, the case where the upper surface 86 of the cap portion 81 is formed flush with the first flat surface 61 has been described as an example. The upper surface 86 may be formed so as to be flush with the second flat surface 63 or below the second flat surface 63 as indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. Thereby, the area of the to-be-mounted object mounting surface can be expanded.

In this case, with the cap part 81 attached to the support 71, a container having a bottom diameter equal to or smaller than the diameter of the second recess 64 with the second flat surface 63 as the mounting object mounting surface (support part) is stored as a storage lid. 5 can be stacked on the inner pot 4 attached.

In this case, naturally, since the upper surface 86 of the cap portion 81 is located below the first flat surface 61, the first flat surface 61 is used as the support portion with the cap portion 81 attached to the support 71. Containers having a larger bottom diameter than the diameter of the second flat surface 63 can also be stacked on the inner pot 4 to which the storage lid 5 is attached.

(Structure of the handle 66)
Further, the handle 66 may be provided so as to be stretchable, for example, formed in a bellows shape, or having a multiple tube structure (for example, a double tube structure) that can be engaged. In this case, the handle 66 is at least flush with the first flat surface 61 or the second flat surface 63 in the state where the handle 66 is contracted so that the length of the handle 66 is the shortest. May be formed so as to be positioned below. That is, the handle 66 is formed such that at least when the mounted object is mounted on the storage lid 5, the upper surface of the handle 66 does not protrude above the mounted object mounting surface of the storage lid 5. It only has to be.

(Support 71)
Moreover, in this embodiment, the case where the support body 71 was a support body of the cap part 81 was mentioned as an example, and was demonstrated. However, the present embodiment is not limited to this, and the storage lid 5 is detachable from the handle itself, and is used to fix the handle as the support 71 to the bottom surface 65 of the second recess 64. You may have the structure by which the fixing | fixed part is provided.

(First flat surface 61)
Further, in the present embodiment, since the second flat surface 63 is provided in the first recess 62 provided in the first flat surface 61, the first flat surface 61 is indicated by a solid line in FIG. The case where there is a step between the first flat surface 61 and the second flat surface 63 and the first flat surface 61 and the second flat surface 63 are provided in different planes has been described as an example. However, the present embodiment is not limited to this.

For example, the upper surface 5A of the storage lid 5 may be provided with a concave portion having a protruding portion inside as a protruding portion forming portion (grip forming portion), and a portion other than the concave portion may be formed flush. Good. For example, as indicated by a one-dot chain line in FIG. 1, the first flat surface 61 and the second flat surface 63 may be formed flush with each other without distinction. In this case, the upper surface 86 of the handle 66 is not protruded above the first flat surface 61 indicated by the alternate long and short dash line (that is, the first flat surface 61 and the second flat surface 63 indicated by the solid line). It is formed so as to be positioned flush with or below the first flat surface 61 indicated by a one-dot chain line.

In the present embodiment, the case where the first flat surface 61 is provided on the peripheral edge of the storage lid 5 has been described as an example. However, the present embodiment is not limited to this. For example, the periphery of the storage lid 5 may have a shape curved downward, and the first flat surface 61 may be provided along the periphery of the storage lid 5. That is, the storage lid 5 may have a shape in which a standing portion curved downward is provided along the outer edge portion of the first flat surface 61 formed in a ring shape.

(Position of handle 66)
Further, in the present embodiment, the case where the handle 66 is provided in the central portion of the upper surface 5A of the storage lid 5 has been described as an example. When the handle 66 is provided at the center of the upper surface 5A of the storage lid 5, when the handle 66 is lifted and the storage lid 5 is held, the storage lid 5 can be held in a balanced manner. For this reason, no extra load is applied, and the storage lid 5 can be easily opened and closed with one hand.

However, as long as the handle 66 is provided on the upper surface 5A of the storage lid 5, an arbitrary number of handles 66 can be provided at any position, and the handle 66 is disposed at a portion other than the central portion of the upper surface 5A of the storage lid 5. May be.

For example, when the handle 66 is formed at the end of the storage lid, the temperature of the inner pot 4 is lowered with the storage lid 5 attached, and the storage lid 5 is adsorbed to the inner pot 4 by negative pressure. In this case, there is an advantage that the storage lid 5 can be easily removed from the inner pot 4.

(Cooking device)
Moreover, in this embodiment, the cooking device concerning this embodiment is the electric anhydrous pot 1, and the storage lid 5 is a dedicated storage lid for the inner pot 4 (cooking container) in the electric anhydrous pan 1. Was described as an example.

As described above, an anhydrous pan for electric heating cooking is not known, and a conventional electric heating cooker does not have a dedicated storage lid. According to the present embodiment, as described above, temperature management, steam adjustment, stirring and reserved cooking can be automatically performed, and the inner pot 4 is covered with the storage lid 5 so that the object to be heated is covered. The inner pot 4 can be stored in a refrigerator or the like without being transferred from the inner pot 4 to another container, and the inner pot 4 is covered with a storage lid 5 so that the inner pot 4 can be covered with a dish or the like. It is possible to provide an electric water-free pan 1 on which a load can be mounted and the storage lid 5 can be easily opened and closed.

However, the present embodiment is not limited to this, and the cooker may be a direct-fired cooker or an electromagnetic cooker that supports cooking on a gas stove, IH heater, microwave oven, or the like. Well, as a cooking container in the said cooking device, cooking containers, such as a pan, for an open fire cooking device or an electromagnetic cooking device may be sufficient, for example. In this case, the storage lid 5 can be used not only for storing the object to be heated but also for cooking the object to be heated.

In the case of the storage lid 5, in particular, the cooking device is a cooking device having an inner lid housed in a housing as a cooking container, such as the electric anhydrous pan 1 or a heat-retaining cooking device having a double pan structure. At least, when the cooking container is taken out from the housing, it can be suitably used as a lid that covers the upper opening of the cooking container. Further, when the cooking container is an inner pot that is housed and used in the casing as described above, when the casing lid is closed with the storage lid 5 attached to the inner pot, the casing By the lids coming into contact with the protrusions, stress concentrates on the contact parts of each other, preventing a part of the storage lid 5 such as the protrusions from being damaged or the case cover from being damaged. can do.

In order to prevent breakage due to such contact, the protrusion is formed at a position lower than the upper surface 5A of the storage lid 5, or the upper surface of the protrusion has flexibility. Is more desirable.

(Rib 67)
Moreover, in this embodiment, since the storage lid 5 is the storage lid 5 for the inner pot 4 housed in the main body 2 that is a housing, the rib 67 is larger than the inner diameter of the inner pot 4. The case where the outer diameter is slightly smaller has been described as an example. However, when the cooker does not have the double pan structure as described above and the cooking container is not the inner pot, the rib 67 has an inner diameter that is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the cooking container. Also good.

Here, the rib 67 having an inner diameter that is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the cooking container indicates that the inner diameter of the rib 67 is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the cooking container.
