Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] This invention relates to a cooker, such as a jar rice cooker, having a control panel to which a control board is attached.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, microcomputers have been used to control the temperature and time of cooking appliances such as jar rice cookers, and the control board is housed within the control panel, but due to the height of the electronic components, the control panel is This resulted in some inconveniences, such as being thick and protruding from the side of the main unit, obstructing the overall design of the cooker. Furthermore, when attempting to embed the control board inside the main body in order to make the control panel thinner, the temperature of the control board would rise beyond its usage limit, resulting in inconveniences such as being unable to embed the control board inside.

[Summary of the idea]

This idea was made in order to eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional ones as described above. A recess is provided in the control panel of the opposing part of the tall electronic component, and the tip of the component is positioned within this recess. This reduces the overall thickness of the control panel and reduces protrusion from the side of the main unit.
It provides a smartly designed cooker.

[Example of idea]

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

Figure 1 is a front view of an example of this invention applied to a jar rice cooker, where 1 is the main body of the rice cooker, 2 is a control panel attached to the main body 1, 3 is a display section of the control panel 2, and 4 is the same control panel. Department. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the - line in FIG. switch 14
is attached. 6 is a heater; 8 is a recess with a depth h provided on the inner surface of the control panel 2 facing the tall electronic component 7;
When the electronic component 7 is attached to the control panel 2 using the mounting screws 11, 11, the tip of the tall electronic component 7 is inserted into the control panel 2 so that it does not hit the electronic component 7.

According to the above configuration, when the control board 5 is attached to the control panel 2, the control panel 2 has a depth h only at the position facing the tall component 7 among the electronic components attached to the control board 5. Since the recess 8 is provided, the thickness of the control panel 2 can be reduced by at least h, and the protrusion from the side surface of the main body 1 can be kept small.

[Effects of the invention] As described above, according to this invention, by recessing the part of the control panel that faces the electronic components attached to the control board, a thinner control panel can be created, and only a part of the control panel is recessed. There is no difference in strength, and since the control board is not placed inside the main body, there is little temperature rise, and there is no need for extra parts such as a shear heating plate, resulting in an extremely inexpensive and smart design. The present invention provides a cooking device having the following features.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]
