Description

【考案の詳細な説明】 (イ) 産業上の利用分野本考案は、水位を測定する水位検出装置に関す
る。[Detailed description of the invention] (a) Industrial application field The present invention relates to a water level detection device for measuring water level.

(ロ) 従来の技術例えば炊飯器における内鍋への水の供給は、こ
の内鍋の内壁に刻印した水位目盛を目印にして行
なつていたが、この刻印は極めて見にくいという
欠点があつた。(b) Prior Art For example, in a rice cooker, water was supplied to the inner pot using a water level scale engraved on the inner wall of the inner pot as a guide, but this marking had the disadvantage that it was extremely difficult to see.

(ハ) 考案が解決しようとする問題点本考案はきわめて簡単な装置で、水位を測定で
きる水位検出装置を提供することを目的とする。(c) Problems to be solved by the invention The purpose of the invention is to provide a water level detection device that is an extremely simple device and can measure water levels.

(ニ) 問題点を解決するための手段長尺状で透明な表示板と、この表示板と間隙を

きり確認できるものである。(e) Effect According to the cutting configuration, when this device is inserted almost vertically into the water stored in the container, the part inserted into the water will have a closed space that acts as a mirror surface. As a result, the color of the color plate becomes invisible from the outside, the part inserted into the water cannot see the color, and the water level scale appears to be raised, and the part exposed from the water shows the color, and thus the water level The boundaries between the surfaces are clearly visible.

色彩を全体に施している。(F) Example 1 is a water level detection rod, which includes a long transparent display plate 2,
3, and a similarly elongated color plate 4 positioned between the display plates 2 and 3. Said color plate 4
Flange pieces 5 are formed at the upper and lower ends of the display panels 2 and 3 to form sealed spaces S and S. These closed spaces S, S are filled with air to form an air layer. Water level scales H are provided on the inner surfaces of the display plates 2 and 3, extending upward and downward. In addition, the inner surface of one display board 2 has a water level scale for "white rice, 1.5" and the other display board 3 has a water level scale for "white rice, 1.0" so that the water level in pots of different capacities can be measured. There is. Of course, the water level scale H... is provided on the inner surface of the display boards 2 and 3, but may be provided on the outer surface of the display board 23. Further, the color plate 4 is entirely coated with various colors such as red and black.

との境目Ｔがはつきりするものである。 According to the cutting configuration, when cooking rice, for example, the water level in the pot 6 can be detected by inserting the water level detection rod 1 into the water A and rice B and reaching the inner bottom surface of the pot 6, as shown in FIG. It is measured by
That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the part where water A is submerged forms a mirror effect between water A and the closed space S, and the colors on the color plate 4 are reflected and become invisible, and only the water level scale H... As you can see, there is a clear boundary T between areas with water and areas without water.

ることができるものである。(G) Effects of the invention Since the invention has a cutting configuration, the part of the water level detection rod that is submerged in water has a mirror effect, causing the color of the water level detection rod to disappear and the water level scale to appear raised. In addition, the water level scale is very easy to read because the boundary area where the water is located is sharp between the colored portion and the non-colored portion.
