Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION FIELD The present invention relates to a measuring rice bin. Conventional technology This type of conventional measuring rice jug was developed, for example, in the 1980s.
As shown in Publication No. 12499, it had a structure as shown in Figure 5. That is, in this FIG. 5, 1 is a rice bin main body, and this rice bin main body 1 has a rice storage chamber 4, a measuring device 5, and a rice storage chamber 4, a measuring device 5,
Rice trays 6 are installed one after another. Reference numeral 7 denotes a measuring knob that is linked to the measuring device 5. By pressing the measuring knob 7, a predetermined amount of rice can be measured. It is composed of a total amount knob 7b and a three-total amount knob 7c for measuring three parts. For example, when measuring 4 cups of rice, it was done by operating the 1 total amount knob 7a and the 3 total amount knob 7c once. Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with such a structure, the user always remembers the number of times the measuring knob 7 is operated.
Because the necessary measuring knobs had to be operated the necessary number of times, operations became complicated, and for example, it was often the case that the amount of rice was greater or less than the desired amount by incorrectly adjusting the measuring lever or the number of operations. . Then, if you continue cooking without noticing the mistake, you will not be able to cook delicious rice. The object of the present invention is to provide a measuring rice bin that solves these problems. Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a detection means for detecting the number of operations of the measuring knob, and an integration storage means for cumulatively storing the measured value of rice based on the output of the detection means. , a display means for displaying the stored cumulative amount of rice, a removable rice tray for accommodating the rice weighed by the measuring device, and a reset device for resetting the cumulative amount of rice stored in the cumulative amount storage means to zero. The rice receiving tray and the reset means are interlocked with each other. Effect According to the above configuration, the cumulative amount of rice is displayed each time the measuring knob is operated. For example, when the total amount knob is operated, the displayed content (i.e., cumulative rice amount) becomes [1], and then the total amount of rice is displayed. When you operate the two total quantity knobs, the display will be as follows: [1] case plus [2] case, or [3] case. Further, when the rice tray is removed after measurement is completed, the reset means is linked to reset the cumulative amount of rice to zero. Then, in the next weighing, the weighing value starts from zero again, and the cumulative amount of rice in the next weighing is correctly displayed on the display means. Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings. In FIGS. 1 to 4, 21 is a rice bin body, and this rice bin body 21 can be attached and detached from above to a rice storage chamber 24, a measuring device 25, and a rice tray storage part 26 within a frame body 23 having a front operation panel 22. Rice trays 27 are sequentially provided to be stored in the rice trays. The rice storage chamber 24 has a rice input port 28 at the top, a funnel-shaped bottom, and a rice outflow port 29 at the lower end. Can be confirmed. In addition, the measuring device 25 is connected to the rice outlet 29 of the rice storage chamber 24, and the measuring device 25 is connected to the rice outlet 29 of the rice storage chamber 24, and is
A (180 c.c. of rice) and a two-gou box 30b (360 c.c. of rice) are arranged side by side, and are rotatably provided around a rotating shaft 31 as a fulcrum. 32 is a spring body, and this spring body 32 always biases the first square 30a and the second square 30b in the direction of closing. Reference numerals 33a and 33b are a single volume lever and a double volume lever fixed to the first square 30a and the second square 30b, respectively. 33c is the rotation axis 3
This triple weight lever 33c is partially supported by the single weight lever 33a and the double weight lever 33b. 34a, 34b, 34c are the front operation panel 2
2, these slide passages 34a, 34b, and 34c are combined into one volume lever 33.
a, dual amount lever 33b, triple amount lever 33
c moves respectively. 35a, 35b, 35c
are the respective measuring levers 33a, 33b, 33c.
This is a measuring knob attached to the. 36a, 36b,
36c is the respective slide passage 34a, 34
The micro switches 36a, 36b, 36 are provided below the microswitches 36a, 36b, and 34c as one detection means, two detection means, and three detection means.
c closes the contact point when the metering levers 33a, 33b, 33c are grounded. Reference numeral 37 denotes a micro switch as a reset means provided in the rice tray storage section 26, and the contacts of this micro switch 37 are opened and closed as the rice tray 27 is taken in and out. 38
is an integration storage means, and this integration storage means 38 uses the outputs of the detection means 36a, 36b, and 36c to
For example, the output of the detection means 36a is 1 corresponding to the total rice measurement value, the output of the detection means 36b is 2, and the output of 36c is 3.
This stored cumulative amount of rice is displayed on the display means 39 provided on the front operation panel 22. The operation of the above configuration will be explained next.
First, input rice from the rice input port 28, and then
Fill it with rice. The user then presses the measuring knob 3.
Weigh the desired rice using 5a, 35b, and 36c. First, when the total amount lever 33a is pressed vertically downward against the spring force of the spring body 32 using the total amount knob 35a, the total amount lever 33a
As the rice moves in the slide passage 34a, one cup 30a opens, and one cup (180 c.c. of rice) flows into the rice tray 27. At this time, the total amount lever 33a closes the contact of the total amount detection means 36a. Based on this output, the integration storage means 38 is set to the initial value.

A value [1] which is obtained by adding [1] corresponding to one cup of rice to [0] is newly stored, and this value is output and displayed on the display means 39. When the user releases the total volume knob 35a, the total volume 30a is closed by the biasing force of the spring body 32. Subsequently, when the double amount knob 35b is pressed, the contact of the double amount detection means 36b closes in the same way as in the case of one amount, and this output causes the integration storage means 38 to store the stored content [1]. A value of [3] which is obtained by adding [2] which corresponds to two cups of rice is stored, and this value is outputted and displayed on the display means 39. Subsequently, when the three total amount knob 35c is pressed, the three total amount lever 33c changes to the one total amount lever 33.
In order to press both the rice amount lever 33b and the rice amount lever 33b, both the first rice bowl 30a and the second rice bowl 30b are opened, three rice bowls flow out into the rice tray 27, and the contact point of the three rice bowl 36c is closed. Therefore, the integration storage means 38 stores the value [6] which is the addition of [3] corresponding to three rice, and outputs and displays this on the display means 39. When the measurement of rice is completed in this way, the rice tray 27 is pulled out from the rice tray storage section 26 in order to take out the weighed rice. At this time, the contact of the reset means 37 is closed, and this signal causes the integration storage means 38 to clear the stored content [6] and store the stored content.

[0] is reset, and its display is also

Set to [0]. Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, by detecting the operation of the measuring knob, the cumulative amount of rice weighed up to that point is displayed each time the measuring knob is operated. There is no need to memorize the number of operations, and the required amount of rice can be measured simply by checking the cumulative amount of rice on the display means. Therefore, it is error-free and very easy to operate. In addition, when the rice tray is removed after measurement is complete, the total amount of rice is automatically reset to zero, which eliminates the need to reset the total amount of rice to zero the next time the rice is measured, improving usability. .
