Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a rotary cooking machine that can automatically prepare stir-fried dishes by rotating a pot heated by induction heating.

[Prior Art] Recently, with the advancement of technology for heating magnetic pots using induction heating, rotary cooking machines have been developed that rotate the pots using induction heating to automatically stir-fry and the like. JP-A-63-1
The electromagnetic cooking machine disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 75375 is an example thereof, and FIG. 4 is a partial side view thereof.

In the figure, a cooking container 2 is rotatably attached to a main body 1 incorporating a heating power source via a hinge 3, and is configured to be supported and fixed at a desired inclination angle by a support member 4. . The support member 4 consists of a first support lever 4b and a second support lever 4C connected by a pin 4a, and by tightening the pin 4a, the cooking container 2 can be supported and fixed at a desired angle. cooking container 2
In the center of the interior, a pot 7 is driven by a drive device 8 from the bottom.
An induction heating coil 6 is disposed around the pot 7 via a heat insulating material 5. A lid 10 is screwed onto the top of the cooking container 2, and a slip ring 11 is interposed between the lid 10 and the pot 7.
Care is taken to prevent the ingredients in the pot 7 from leaking into the cooking container 2.

Further, a small lid 12 for putting in seasonings and the like is provided in the upper center of the lid. In addition, 3.14 is a rotation speed, heating temperature or heating time adjustment part, 15 is the above-mentioned heat insulating material 5
A casing 16 housing the heating coil 6 and the heating coil 6 is made of solid material.

When using the above electromagnetic cooking machine to cook stir-fried food, for example, the cooking container 2 is tilted at a predetermined angle by the support member 4, and the drive device 8 is activated to rotate the pot 7 while coiling the induction heating coil. After heating the outer periphery of the pot 7 by applying electricity to the pot 7, put the Ura inside the pot 7, stop the rotation once until the Uura has evenly adhered to the inside of the pot 7, add the stir-fry ingredients 16, and then close the lid 10.
When the ingredients 16 are rotated, the ingredients 16 are stirred and fried while being heated in the pot 7. Next, when the time is right, open the small lid 12, add the seasonings, adjust the taste, and the stir-fry is finished cooking.

A conventional co-rotating induction cooking machine is configured as described above.
And it is used.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the above electromagnetic cooking machine, the pot 7 for storing the cooking material 16 is dimensionally compatible with the heating coil 6 and the heat insulating material 5 in the housing 15, and the pot drive device 8 Therefore, the dedicated pot 7 is usually mounted in the housing 15.
is non-removably incorporated into.

However, from the perspective of a cooking machine user, it is preferable that the pot 7 be detachable from the cooking machine in order to make it easier to clean the pot.Furthermore, if a regular household pot can also be used, cooking will become easier. This is extremely inconvenient.

The present invention has been made to realize the above idea, and aims to provide a rotary cooking machine in which the pot can be attached to and detached from the cooking machine, and in which pots owned at home can be used in addition to the dedicated pot. That is.

[Means for Solving the Problem] In order to achieve the above object, the rotary cooking machine according to the present invention has the following features:
A pot rotation mechanism is installed at one end of the outer periphery of the housing that houses the pot and heating coil, and the pot can be attached and detached at the other end.
In addition, a pot pressing device is provided which is configured to press the side surface of the pot while rotating the pot.

Further, the pot pressing device is equipped with a motor and a motor control device.

[Function] By providing the pot rotation drive device and the pot pressing device configured as described above, the pot can be quickly attached and detached from the cooking machine, and pots with different outer diameters can also be attached to the cooking machine. As a result, not only can the pot become a container, but also various pots in the home can be used in the cooking machine, which greatly improves the usability of the cooking machine.

[Embodiment of the Invention] Fig. 1 is a partial sectional view of a rotary cooking machine showing an embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 2 is a front view of a pot pressing device. is its motor, 22.23 is the drive wheel,
30 is a pot pressing device, 31a5b is a roller, 32 is a roller frame, 33 is a bolt, 34 is a shaft, 35 is a handle, 36
The spring 37 is a support plate. As shown in the figure, the rotation drive device 20 for the pot 7 is arranged at one end of the outer periphery of the cooking machine housing 15, and is symmetrical across the center of the housing. A pot pressing device 30 is disposed at the other end.

The rotational drive device 20 includes a drive motor 21 and a drive wheel 22.2.
3, and along with the operation of the motor 21, the drive wheels 22.
23 rotates, and the pot 7 is rotated by the drive wheel 23 that comes into contact with the outer surface of the pot 7.

The pot pressing device 30 is configured by a roller frame 32, which holds the rollers 31a and 31b in rotation, engaged with a support plate 37 fixed to the housing 15 via a spring 36.

The rollers 31a, b always press the side surface of the pot 7 against the drive wheel 23 of the rotary drive device 20 by the spring 36°, and as a result, the drive wheel 23 can rotate the pot 7 without slipping.

To attach the pot 7 to the cooking machine, pull the handle 35 in the direction of the arrow A, insert the pot 7 into the housing 15, and release the handle 35. The rollers 31a and b will be moved by the spring 36 to the side of the pot 7. is pressed by roller 31. A and b rotate according to the rotation of the pot 7 while pressing their sides. When taking out the pot 7 from the cooking machine, pull the handle 35 in the direction of arrow A and push w47 into the housing 15.
Just take it out.

By configuring the rotary cooking machine as described above, not only can the pot 7 be attached to and removed from the cooking machine freely, but also pots with different outer diameters, that is, regular household pots, can be attached to the cooking machine and used for cooking. It can be used for

Note that the outer diameter of the pot that can be used at this time is determined by appropriately selecting the dimensions of the spring 36 and other members.

Further, although the number of pot pressing devices in this embodiment is one, a plurality of pot pressing devices may be installed.

In the pot pressing device described above, instead of manually operating the handle 35 when attaching and detaching the pot, it is more convenient to mechanize the operation of the handle 35 by providing a motor and a motor control device.

FIG. 3 is a front view of a pot pressing device showing another embodiment in which the above-mentioned handle operation is mechanized. In the figure, 30 to 37 are the same parts as the device shown in FIG. 1, 40 is a pulley, and 41 is a support for the pulley. 42 is a wire rope, 43 is a take-up motor, and 44 is a motor control device.

As shown in the figure, a roller 31a for attaching and detaching the pot,
b is moved by a take-up motor and its control device, thereby speeding up the attachment and detachment of the pan.

[Effects of the Invention] In the rotary cooking machine of the present invention, a pot pressing device for suppressing the sides of the pot is provided on the casing on the opposite side of the pot of the pot rotating mechanism of the cooking machine. We were able to achieve excellent results.

(1) Since the pot can be attached to and detached from the cooking machine, cleaning the pot is easy and complete.

(2) Household pots with different outer diameters can now be used in the cooking machine, greatly improving the usability of the cooking machine.

(3) Furthermore, by mechanizing the movement of the roller of the pot pressing device when attaching and detaching the pot, the pot can be attached and detached extremely easily and quickly.
