When the shaft is rotated, the shaft 17 and the pinion 20 rotate in the same direction as that of the shaft 17, so that the rack 19 meshing with the pinion 20 also moves. For example, when the pinion 20 rotates in the arrow A direction, the rack 19 and the drum bottom 16 move in the arrow B direction, so that the depth of the recess 14 becomes shallow and the rice storage amount decreases. On the contrary, when the pinion 20 rotates in the direction opposite to the arrow A direction, the rack 19 and the drum bottom 1
Since 6 moves in the direction opposite to the arrow B direction,
4 becomes deeper and the rice storage capacity increases (see Fig. 8).

Accordingly, the amount of rice supplied by one rotation of the measuring drum 15 can be increased or decreased. Therefore, for example, when a plurality of types of rice are blended, the opening / closing lid 23 is opened for the remaining rice to open the hole 2.
4 to the cleaning tank 10, and then the opening / closing lid 23 closes the hole 24. In this way, the blending amount can be freely adjusted, which is convenient. The rice supplied to the washing tank 10 is washed with a rotating stirring tool and washing water, and the washing is finished when a predetermined time is reached. After draining
A predetermined amount of fresh water for cooking rice is supplied to the cleaning tank 10. Then, when the rice discharge valve descends, rice and water fall from the rice discharge port and are stored in the inner pot 26 of the rice cooker 2 below. Next, the operator holds the drawer arm 28 and draws the drawer base 3 to the front side (the function of the locking means is the same as that described above, so the explanation is omitted), and the lid 27 is put on the inner pot 26. And
The operator holds the drawer arm 28 and pushes the drawer base 3 to a predetermined position of the main body frame 1. At this time, the locking cam 34 and the torque spring 35 are locked together as described above.
It is locked by the shaft 38.

Next, the rice is ignited to start the rice cooking work.
Then, when steaming is completed and rice cooking is completed, the operator holds the drawer arm 28 and pulls out the drawer base 3 on which the rice cooker 2 is placed. The drawer base 3 on which the rice cooker 2 is placed can be moved manually, and the locking cam 34 and the roller shaft 38 can be easily switched between "locking" and "releasing". In addition, since it does not require a power source, it can be easily confirmed even in the state of power failure or power OFF.
