Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement in a measuring rice bin with a storage compartment, in which a storage compartment for kitchen items is connected to the side of the measuring rice bin, which is formed by integrating a rice storage part and a measuring mechanism part.

Conventionally, in this type of weighing rice bin with a storage compartment, as shown in FIG. This was done by opening the rotary lid c and guiding the rice down through its sloping upper surface, which had the following drawbacks.

That is, since the rice inlet b is provided at the front of the rice storage part a, the opening area is naturally limited, making it difficult to put in rice. This causes inconveniences such as the rice getting caught around the pivot shaft of the rotary lid c and the rotary lid c becoming unable to be closed, resulting in a reduction in the substantial volume of the rice storage section a.

In addition, since the opening area of rice input port b is small,
Rice bran accumulates in the rice storage section a, making it difficult to clean and inspect the interior when foreign matter enters, and the levers of the weighing mechanism section d are always exposed, causing dust to accumulate and make it unsightly. etc. are also major drawbacks.

An even bigger drawback of the conventional products mentioned above is that the measuring rice jug cannot be removed from the main body of the storage, so the inside of the measuring rice jug cannot be dried in the sun, and the rice bran gets dirty.
It is easy for rice to change quality and taste to deteriorate due to moisture, rice worm breeding, etc.

The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks and provides an attractive measuring rice bin with a storage compartment that can reliably prevent kitchen steam, dust, etc. A partition plate is provided inside the storage main body formed by the method to partition the internal space into left and right sides to form a storage for kitchen items and a measuring rice bin storage chamber, and the storage and measuring rice bin storage chamber are Each of the weighing rice bins is equipped with a door that can swing open and close on the front side, and the weighing rice bin is equipped with a weighing rice bin that integrates a rice storage section with a rice input port formed on the top surface and a weighing mechanism section, as well as weighed rice. Rice receiving bowls for receiving the rice were provided separately so that they could be pulled out forward, and at the front ends of the left and right sides of these measuring rice bins and rice receiving bowls, projecting outwards on both the left and right side over the entire vertical width of the measuring rice bin and rice receiving bowl, respectively. A protrusion is formed, and a protrusion protruding inwardly is formed on the front end of the side plate and partition plate located on both sides of the measuring rice bin storage chamber, and the measuring rice bin and the rice receiving bowl are accommodated in the measuring rice bin. The measuring rice jug and the rice receiving bowl are characterized in that the protrusions are configured to come into contact with the front surfaces of the protrusions of the side plate and the partition plate when housed in the chamber.
