Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] (b) Industrial application fields The present invention relates to a cooking device such as a pressure rice cooker.

(b) Prior Art As in the conventional Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 50-31803, there is provided an outer frame in which a pot is housed, a hanging handle rotatably pivoted at both ends to the outer frame, and a hanging handle placed on the upper part of the pot. a lid body having a rod protruding outward fixed to its periphery; a recessed portion provided at the pivot portion of the handle and formed from a pair of adjacent support pieces for fixing the rod; and a pivot portion of the handle. Pressure-type rice cooking comprising: a pressurizing section provided nearby, containing a spring body, and a pressurizing body that causes the spring body to press the upper part of the rod when the handle is raised substantially vertically; There is a vessel. In this rice cooker, when the handle is raised substantially vertically, the distance between the upper end of the support piece and the lower end of the pressurizing part is larger than the height of the rod. When placed on the upper part and the handle is made substantially vertical, a situation may occur in which the rod is held between the upper end of the support piece and the lower end of the pressurizing body. If such a situation occurs, a gap will be created between the lid and the pot, through which steam will flow out. As a result, uneven cooking, boiling over, etc. occur. Furthermore, since the pressure within the pot becomes unbalanced, there is a risk of localized abnormal heating.

(C) Purpose of the invention In consideration of the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present invention aims to prevent the rod from being pinched between the upper end of the support piece forming the concave portion and the lower end of the pressurizing body.

(d) Structure of the invention The present invention includes a lid body with a rod fixed to the periphery, a recessed part formed from a pair of adjacent support pieces provided on the outer frame and in which the rod is fixed, and a recessed part that presses the rod. and a pressure section provided with a pressure body, and the distance between the upper end of the support piece and the lower end of the pressure section is smaller than the height of the rod.

(e) Example As an example of the present invention, a pressure-type electric rice cooker is used as the first example.
This will be explained based on FIGS. 3 to 3.

Reference numeral 1 denotes an outer frame housing a cylindrical pot 2 with a bottom and a heater (not shown) for pressurizing the pot, and a U-shaped hanging handle with both ends pivotally attached to the upper circumferential side for free rotation. There are 3. Reference numeral 4 denotes a lid body which is placed on the upper part of the pot 2 and contacts the upper surface of the inner lid 5 that closes the opening of the pot 2, and has a lid body facing outward at two places on the outer periphery facing each other with the knob 6 in the center. A rod 7, 7 is fixed to the rod, and grooves 8, 8 are formed on the upper surface of the rod. Reference numerals 9, 9 are concave portions for fixing the rods 7, 7 formed by a pair of adjacent support pieces 10, 10, which are integrally provided at the two pivot joints of the handle 3;
The upper end of the support piece is made to protrude further upwards than the upper end of the outer frame 1 and the upper end of the pot 2. 11,1
Reference numeral 1 denotes a pressurizing body 1 which is provided near the pivot point of the handle 3, has coiled spring bodies 12, 12 inside, and is constantly urged downward by the spring bodies.
3, 13, the pressurizing body is configured to press the rods 7, 7 when the handles 3, 3 are raised substantially vertically.
is engaged with the grooves 8, 8, and presses the rods 7, 7 downward. That is, by pressing the lid 4 downward, the inner lid 5 and the pot 2 can be brought into close contact with each other, thereby improving airtightness. In addition, the pressure parts 11, 11
forms a pair of ribs 14, 14 adjacent to each other on both sides, and the distance A from the lower end of the rib to the upper end of the support pieces 10, 10 is smaller than the height B of the rods 7, 7. There is. The upper ends of the support pieces 10, 10 and the upper ends of the rods 7, 7 placed in the concave portions of the ribs 14, 14 fit within the rotation locus drawn by the ribs themselves when the handle 3 is rotated. formed in height.

Next, the operation will be explained.

First, with the handle 3 folded down, place the inner lid 5 and the lid body 4 on top of the pot 2 in this order, and insert the rods 7, 7 into the concave portion 9,
Store in 9. At this time, the inner lid 5 closes the opening of the pot 2, but is not in complete contact with the pot 2. When the handle 3 is raised approximately vertically, the pressurizing bodies 13, 13
are engaged with the grooves 8, 8 of the rods 7, 7 to maintain the upright state of the handle 3. At this time, the pressurizing bodies 13, 13 press the rods 7, 7 downward by the spring bodies 12, 12, and the inner lid 5 and the pot 2 are brought into close contact with each other, so that the inside of the pot 2 is evenly pressurized. Moreover, when rice cooking is completed, the cooker can be easily carried to a desired place by the handle 3, the handle 3 is folded down, the pressurized state of the inner lid 5 is released, and the rice to be cooked can be taken out.

Here, when the lid body 4 was placed on the top of the pot 2 with the handle 3 folded down, the rods 7, 7 were not placed in the recesses 9, 9, but were placed on the upper ends of the support pieces 10, 10. Considering the case, since the distance dimension A from the lower end of the ribs 14, 14 to the upper end of the support pieces 10, 10 is smaller than the height dimension B of the rods 7, 7,
It is impossible for the rods 7, 7 to be held between the lower ends of the ribs 14, 14 and the upper ends of the support pieces 10, 10 when the handle 3 is raised substantially vertically. On the contrary, before the handle 3 is raised substantially vertically, the ribs 14, 14 hit the rods 7, 7, and the handle 3 does not come to a stationary state but rotates to one side of the outer frame 1 due to its own weight. That is, when the lid body 4 is placed on the upper part of the pot 2, the rod is in the concave part 9,
By raising the handle 3, it can be immediately determined whether the handle 3 is placed correctly or not.

In the embodiment of the present invention, a rib is provided in the pressure section and the distance from the bottom end of the rib to the top end of the support piece is made smaller than the height of the rod. may be made higher. Further, the height of the rod may be larger than the distance from the lower end of the pressure section to the upper end of the support piece.

(f) Effects of the invention The invention consists of an outer frame that houses the pot, a hanging handle that is rotatably pivoted at both ends to the outer frame, and a hanging handle that is placed on the top of the pot and protrudes outward from the periphery. a lid body to which a rod is fixed; a concave portion provided at the pivot portion of the handle and formed from a pair of adjacent support pieces for fixing the rod; and a spring body provided near the pivot portion of the handle. and a pressurizing part provided with a pressurizing body that causes the spring body to press the upper part of the rod when the handle is raised substantially vertically, wherein the handle is raised substantially vertically. Since the distance between the upper end of the support piece and the lower end of the pressurizing part is smaller than the height of the rod, when the handle is raised substantially vertically, the rod can be used as the support. It is possible to prevent the piece from being pinched between the upper end of the piece and the lower end of the pressure section. In other words, if the handle can be maintained in a substantially vertical state, the rod is always placed in the concave portion, and the pressing body presses the rod. As a result, the pressure inside the pot can be maintained evenly at all times, and uneven cooking of the rice to be cooked, boiling over, etc. can be prevented.
