Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a measuring rice jug that is installed in the kitchen of a home, stores rice, and simultaneously dispenses a predetermined amount of rice when necessary.

[Conventional technology]

The measuring rice jug always stores rice in its rice storage section, and rice bran etc. can stick to it and harden, making it unclean, so it needs to be cleaned from time to time.

Conventional weighing rice jugs have a structure in which the rice storage section 1 and the measuring section 2 are integrated and pulled out in front (1981-1999), as shown in Fig. 4, in order to make it easier to clean the inside of the rice storage section. 188040), a structure for attaching and detaching the front plate 3 of the rice storage section 1 as shown in Figure 5 (Utility Model No. 59-
188039) etc.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, the one shown in FIG. 4 is expensive, and the one shown in FIG. 5 has a general structure in which the front plate 3 is removed by loosening the screws 3a, but it requires tools such as a screwdriver and time to remove it. There is a drawback that it takes a long time.

The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and utilizes the shaft of a rotary rice container, and is configured so that the viewing window cover at the bottom of the rice container can be attached and removed.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above drawbacks, the present invention has the following configurations:
In a measuring rice bin having a measuring section above a rice receiving section and a rice storing section above the rice receiving section, the rice storing section has a rice container at the upper front side and a viewing window cover at the lower front side, and the rice container has a rice container at the lower front side. A support hole provided in the rice storage section is inserted into a shaft provided in the upper and lower middle of the front surface of the rice storage section, and the rice storage section is pivotally supported so as to be tiltable forward at a predetermined angle, and a stopper is provided at the lower part of the front cover for regulating the upward movement of the viewing window cover. The viewing window cover is provided with a U-groove portion at the upper end that holds the shaft and opens upward, and a hook portion at the lower end that is opened by lifting the viewing window lid and rotating the lower end forward, and the rice container When the rice container is tilted forward at a predetermined angle to put rice in, the stopper at the bottom of the front cover of the rice container is released and the viewing window cover can be lifted, and the viewing window lid is lifted and the lower end is rotated forward. This allows the U-groove to be attached to and removed from the shaft.

[Effect]

When the rice container is tilted forward to add rice, the stopper at the bottom of the front cover of the rice container is released.
A gap is created above the U-groove at the upper end of the viewing window cover, and the viewing window cover can be lifted. Therefore, the viewing window cover can be removed by lifting and rotating forward, and in this state, the U groove portion of the viewing window cover can be inserted into the shaft and closed to the original state.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Fig. 1 is a partial vertical sectional view of a weighing rice bin showing an embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional view of section A in Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a storage compartment showing an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of measuring rice bins arranged in series. 1st
In the figures and FIG. 3, 5 is a rice storage section, 6 is a measuring section, and 7 is a rice receiving section. A shaft 9 is provided between the top and bottom of the front surface of the rice storage section 5 at the top of the front surface of the rice storage section 5.
A rice container 8 that opens and closes using the fulcrum as a fulcrum is provided. The support hole of the hinge 8a of the rice container 8 is inserted into the shaft 9, and when the upper part is opened forward, the rice container 8 opens by a predetermined angle α until the plate 8b comes into contact with the front plate 5a, forming a rice inlet. At the bottom of the front cover 8c of the rice container 8, a plate-shaped stopper 8d is provided that stands upright at the rear. A viewing window cover 10 is disposed on the lower front surface of the rice storage section 5, and a U-groove section 10a is provided at the upper end and a hook section 10b at the lower end. Said U groove part 1
0a is opened at the top and there is a gap 10e at the bottom.
(FIG. 2), the viewing window cover 10
When the rice container 8 is in the closed state, the upper end of the groove 10a is restricted by the cover 8c of the rice container 8 and the lower stopper 8d and cannot rise, so it is restricted by the hook portion 10b at the lower end and locked so that it does not open forward. There is. The hanging portion 10b is a viewing window cover 10.
Has a step with respect to the front, and has a tip 10c or a corner 1
Together with 0d, the viewing window cover 10 is regulated downward and forward. As mentioned above, the viewing window cover 10 is structured so that it does not open forward when the rice container 8 is closed (solid line in FIG. 1), but when the rice container 8 is opened (dashed line in FIG. 1), the stopper of the cover 8c 8d tilts forward, and a gap is created at the upper end of the U-groove portion 10a, allowing the viewing window cover 10 to rise. By lifting the viewing window lid 10 and disengaging the hook portion 10b, the viewing window lid 10 is lifted. Rotate forward and open as shown by the chain line in Figure 1. In this state, when the viewing window cover 10 is pulled obliquely downward, the U-groove portion 10a is disengaged from the shaft 9, and the viewing window cover 10 can be removed. In this state, the inside of the rice storage section 5 is cleaned, and after fitting and closing the viewing window cover 10 in the reverse procedure, the rice container 8 is closed.

Although FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the storage compartments 11 arranged in series, the storage compartments 11 are not related to the present invention.

[Effect of idea]

The measuring rice jug of the present invention described in detail above has a structure that allows the interior of the rice jug to be cleaned at low cost, and no tools are required to remove the viewing window cover for cleaning. Furthermore, since the detachable viewing window cover is provided with a locking mechanism, it will not easily come off during regular use.
