Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a cooking appliance for daily use in general households.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, cooking appliances have been put into practical use in which the lid automatically opens using an elastic member when the operating section on the top or front of the cooking device is pressed. The hinge portion is located further back than the rear leg portion of the cooker main body.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in a cooker configured as described above, if the elastic member has a weak elastic force, the lid will not open completely, and if the elastic member has a strong elastic force, the lid will not open completely. When the lid was opened, the impact was strong, causing the front part of the cooker to float or fall over, making the lid opening operation unstable. Furthermore, it was difficult to set the elastic force of the elastic member.

The present invention solves these problems and allows the lid to be opened automatically by simply releasing the lid, and prevents one side of the instrument from floating when the opening is completed. To provide a cooking device that can be operated stably.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a hinge portion for pivotally supporting the cooker main body and the lid body, which is provided substantially above the rear leg portion of the cooker main body or at the front upper side. be.

Operation The cooking device of the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, so that even if the elastic force of the elastic member is somewhat strong and the impact when opening the lid is strong, the hinge portion is not located behind the rear leg portion of the cooking device main body, but is located approximately above or above the rear leg portion of the cooking device main body. Since it is located at the front, the force that lifts the front part of the cooking device body is exerted. Therefore, the front part of the cooking device body is less likely to float or fall over compared to the past.

Embodiment Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a cooking device main body, and a front leg portion 2 and a rear leg portion 3 are provided on the lower surface of the main body.

The inside of the cooking device main body 1 is composed of an upper frame 4 and a protective frame 5, and a heating element 6 for cooking is provided at the bottom of the protective frame 5, and a pot 7 is detachably provided. There is.

8 is an iE body, and the cooker main body 1 is connected by a shaft 10 at a hinge part 9.
It is centrally supported by Further, an elastic member 11 is provided in relation to the shaft 10 and always biased in a direction to open the lid 8.

The center perpendicular line 1l of the hinge part 10 is located approximately above the perpendicular line 12 of the rear leg part 3 of the cooking device main body l, and located forwardly and upwardly by Δt in the embodiment.

On the other hand, a hook lever 12 is attached to the inside of the front surface of the cooker main body 1 on the opposite side to which the lid body 8 is pivotally supported, and is installed using a heat spring 13.
It is configured to engage with a locking portion 14 inside the lid 8 when the lid 8 is opened.

Note that 15 is an operating section of the hook lever 12.

The operation of the cooking device configured as described above will be explained below.

First, when the lid body 8 is in an open state, the upper end portion of the hook lever 12 and the locking portion 14 inside the lid body 8 are engaged with each other to be in a locked state. When opening the lid 8, pressing the operating portion 15 disengages the hook lever 12 and the locking portion 14, and the elastic member 11 automatically opens the lid 8. At this time, the elastic force of the elastic member 11 is strong, and even if there is some impact when the lid body 8 opens and stops, the hinge portion 9
Since the front legs 3 are not located behind the rear legs 3 of the cooking device main body 1, stability is good, and the front legs 2 of the cooking device main body 1 are unlikely to lift up or fall due to impact.

Effects of the Invention As described above, in the present invention, the elastic force of the elastic member is strong by providing the hinge portion that pivotally supports the cooking device main body and the lid body approximately above the rear leg portion of the cooking device main body or in the front upper direction. Even if there is some impact when the lid is opened, the front part of the cooker body will not float or fall.
