Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Purpose of the invention] (Industrial application field) The invention includes a main body in which a bread making container is housed, and an openable/closable and see-through lid provided in the main body. related to bread making machines.

(Prior Art) An example of a lid for this type of bread making machine is shown in FIG. In FIG. 3, reference numeral 1 denotes a plastic frame body, which has a window portion 1a in the center. Reference numeral 2 denotes a transparent plate, such as a heat-resistant glass plate, which is fixed to the frame 1 by a ring-shaped presser metal fitting 3 made of aluminum. The window portion 1a of the frame 1 is closed by the glass plate 2, and the frame 1, the glass plate 2, the presser fitting 3, and the reinforcing frame 4 constitute a lid 5.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, in the above conventional structure, the frame 1, the glass plate 2, the presser fitting 3, and the reinforcing frame 4 are assembled to form the lid 5, so the number of parts and assembly man-hours are reduced. There was a problem that the number of parts increased and the cost increased. In addition, due to the large number of parts, there are many joints between each part, and breadcrumbs or liquid often enter the internal space 6 of the lid 5 through gaps between the joints, and the lid 5 is Another drawback was that it resulted in unhygienic conditions. Further, due to the large number of parts constituting the lid 5, the weight of the lid 5 becomes heavy, and when the lid 5 is opened, the overall balance becomes poor, resulting in a lack of stability.

Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to reduce the number of parts and assembly man-hours, simplify assembly in particular, keep the lid in a sanitary condition, and reduce its weight to improve overall stability. To provide a bread making machine which can prevent dew from getting on the manufactured bread.

[Structure of the invention] (Means for solving the problem) The present invention provides a bread making machine comprising a main body in which a bread making container is installed, and an openable/closable and see-through lid provided on the main body. The lid includes a frame body having a window in the center and integrally having a convex part or a concave part located outside the opening of the bread making container on the outer peripheral edge of the lower surface, and an outer peripheral edge on the frame body. The device is characterized in that it is constructed by a transparent plate that is attached to engage with the convex portion or the concave portion and closes the window portion.

(Function) Since the lid is composed of a frame body and a transparent plate, the number of parts is reduced, and the number of assembly steps is correspondingly reduced. Particularly, since the outer peripheral edge of the transparent plate is simply engaged with the protrusion or recess provided integrally with the outer peripheral edge of the frame, assembly of the lid is simplified. In addition, since only two parts are joined together, there are fewer parts to join than in the past, and the gaps created at the joined parts are also reduced overall, so bread crumbs can enter the internal space of the lid through these gaps. Or, the juice etc. will be reduced and the lid will be kept in a sanitary condition. Furthermore, since the only parts that make up the lid are the frame and the transparent plate,
The weight of the lid is lighter compared to the conventional method which requires a presser metal fitting, etc. Furthermore, since the protrusion or recess for engaging the outer periphery of the transparent plate is provided on the outer periphery of the lower surface of the frame outside the opening of the bread container, the transparent plate Even if condensed dew drips from the convex portion or concave portion serving as the engaging portion, the dew will not enter the bread making container, and the dew will be prevented from being applied to the manufactured bread.

(Example) Hereinafter, a first example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1. In this Figure 1, 11
is a main body, which is mainly composed of an outer case 12 and an inner case 13. Above outer case 1
A kneading motor 14 is disposed at the inner bottom of the container 2 below the inner case 13, and its rotating shaft 15 is oriented toward the information. On the contrary,
A receiver 16 is fixed to the center of the bottom of the inner case 13, and the rotating shaft 15 of the motor 14 passes through the center of the bottom of the receiver 16. Reference numeral 17 denotes a bread-making container for storing bread ingredients such as flour, water, yeast, etc. In this container, a receiver 18 fixed to the outer bottom of the container can be detachably attached to the receiver 16 of the inner case 13 by, for example, a bayonet engagement structure. When mounted, the rotary shaft 15 is disposed within the inner case 13, and when mounted, the rotating shaft 15 relatively penetrates the receiver 18 and the bottom of the bread making container 17 and protrudes into the container 17. It's getting old. A kneading blade 19 is detachably attached to the protruding end of the rotary shaft 15 inside the bread making container 17. Therefore, this kneading blade 19
It is adapted to be directly rotationally driven by the drive of No. 4. 20 is a heater provided on the inner bottom of the inner case 13; 21 is a temperature sensor provided on the inner side of the inner case 13 to detect the temperature of the bread making container 17; 22 is a control provided on the outer case 12. It is a device.

Now, reference numeral 23 denotes a lid that is openable and closable at the top opening of the main body 11, and will be described in detail below.
24 is a frame made of plastic, for example, which is
A window portion 24a having a shape slightly smaller than the opening of the bread making container 17 is formed in the center thereof, and a window portion 24a having a shape slightly smaller than the opening of the bread making container 17 is formed, and a window portion 24a located outside the opening of the bread making container 17, for example, in the shape of an annular A convex portion 24b is integrally provided in a protruding manner. Reference numeral 25 denotes a curved transparent plate made of heat-resistant glass or tempered glass, and is attached to the frame 24 by fitting its outer peripheral edge into engagement with the convex portion 24b of the frame 24. As a result, the window 24a of the frame 24 is closed, and the inside of the bread making container 17 can be seen through the window 24a and the transparent plate 25.

According to the above configuration, the lid 23 is attached to the frame 24.
Since the transparent plate 25 is composed of two parts, the number of parts can be reduced compared to the conventional structure consisting of four parts (see FIG. 3), and the number of assembly steps can be reduced accordingly, resulting in lower costs. Particularly in this case, the lid 23 can be easily assembled because the outer peripheral edge of the transparent plate 25 is simply engaged with the convex portion 24b of the frame 24 by fitting. In addition, since only two parts are joined, there is only one joining part, which reduces the number of joining parts compared to the past, and the gap created at the joining part is also reduced. Bread crumbs, juice, etc. that enter the space are reduced, and the lid 23 is kept in a sanitary condition. Furthermore, since there are only two parts that make up the lid 23, the weight of the lid 23 can be reduced compared to the conventional method which required four parts, and the overall stability is increased when the lid 23 is open. be able to.

By the way, in the conventional structure (see FIG. 3), when the glass plate 2 is pressed and fixed by the presser metal fitting 3, the pressing part is located inside the opening of the bread making container (not shown), so that the glass plate 2 In No. 2, there was a problem in that the condensed dew dripped from the pressing portion (stepped portion) and entered the bread making container, and the dew condensed onto the manufactured bread. On the other hand, in the above embodiment, the convex portion 24b for engaging the outer peripheral edge of the transparent plate 25 is located outside the opening of the bread making container 17 on the outer peripheral edge of the lower surface of the frame 24. Therefore, even if dew condensed on the transparent plate 25 drips from the convex portion 24b (stepped portion) which is the engaging portion, the dew will not enter the bread making container 17. This prevents dew from getting on the manufactured bread.

In addition to the above, especially in the above embodiment, glass is used for the transparent plate 25, and in such a structure, for example, in the conventional structure (see FIG. 3),
The glass plate 2 is held by the aluminum presser metal fitting 3.
In order to press and fix the glass plate 2, there was a risk that the glass plate 2 would be broken by the edge of the presser metal fitting 3. On the other hand, in the embodiment described above, the transparent plate 25 is attached by engaging the outer peripheral edge with the convex portion 24b of the plastic frame 24, so that the transparent plate 25 is attached by engaging the outer peripheral edge with the convex portion 24b of the plastic frame 24. Since there is no pressing force, it is possible to prevent the transparent plate 25 (glass plate) from breaking. Furthermore, since the number of components of the lid 23 is reduced and its overall shape is smooth, cleaning becomes easier.

FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of the present invention.
Only the differences from the first embodiment will be explained. In this FIG. 2, reference numeral 26 denotes a frame body in place of the frame body 24, which has an annular concave portion 26 in place of the convex portion 24b.
b is formed. The outer peripheral edge of the transparent plate 25 is adapted to engage with this recess 26b. Therefore, also in this second embodiment, the first
The same effects as in the embodiment can be obtained.

Note that the transparent plate 25 is not made of glass, but may be made of heat-resistant plastic or the like.

[Effects of the invention] As is clear from the above description, the present invention has a lid having a window in the center and a convex part or Since it is composed of a frame integrally having a concave portion and a transparent plate attached to the frame with its outer peripheral edge engaging with the convex portion or concave portion and closing the window portion, the number of parts and assembly man-hours can be reduced. In particular, the assembly can be simplified and the lid can be kept in a sanitary condition.
Moreover, the weight of the lid can be reduced, improving the overall stability, and furthermore, it has the excellent effect of preventing dew from getting on the manufactured bread.
