Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electromagnetic cooker which is removably mounted on an electromagnetic cooker main body and is heated by a heating coil in the electromagnetic cooker main body to cook a roasted dish on its upper surface. Regarding cooking plate.

[0002]

Conventionally, a cooking plate 1 as shown in FIG. 19 has been used for cooking grilled meat such as grilled meat with an electromagnetic cooker. The cooking plate 1 is made of, for example, a metal magnetic material such as iron or magnetic stainless in a disc shape, and is detachably mounted on a top plate of an electromagnetic cooker for use. In this case, a plurality of groove portions 1a are formed on the upper surface of the cooking plate 1, and the handle portions 1 are provided on both left and right ends.
b was integrally formed.

By the way, since the above-mentioned cooking plate 1 is formed with a plurality of grooves 1a, it is possible to prevent the fat and the like from the meat from reattaching to the meat, and to cook the roasted meat deliciously. it can. However, the cooking plate 1 having such a groove portion 1a is not suitable for okonomiyaki, for example, and a cooking plate having a flat surface is suitable for performing okonomiyaki.

For this reason, conventionally, in order to cook a variety of pottery using an electromagnetic cooker, two types of cooking plates having different surface shapes are required, which is expensive and burdens the user. At the same time, it has caused inconveniences such as taking a place when not in use. Further, in the conventional cooking plate 1, since it is necessary to carry it with both hands,
There is a demand for something that can be carried more conveniently.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a cooking plate for an electromagnetic cooker, which enables cooking with a wide variety of pottery and is convenient to carry.

[0006]

The electromagnetic cooker according to the present invention comprises:
The plate body is made of a magnetic material in a plate shape, and the front and back surfaces have different surface shapes, and either one of the surfaces can be selectively used as the upper surface, and both ends are hooked around the periphery of the plate body. A pair of handles that are formed in a vine shape and are symmetrical with respect to the center line of the plate body, and that are gripped with the intermediate portions aligned with each other above the plate body. It is characterized in that the plate body can be rotationally displaced in any direction from the inactive position located outside the peripheral edge of the plate body to both front and back surfaces of the plate body (invention of claim 1).

According to this, the front and back surfaces of the plate body have different surface shapes, and either surface can be selectively used for cooking, so that the plate has a surface shape suitable for cooking. By using the surface, one kind of plate can be used for two kinds of plates, so to speak. And
Since the plate body is provided with a pair of hook-shaped handles symmetrically across the center line, by holding the middle parts of the handles together, the plate body can be held horizontally even with one hand. It can be carried in a stable condition.

When these handles are in the inoperative position,
Since it is located outside the periphery of the plate body, it does not interfere with cooking. Furthermore, since the handle can be pivotally displaced in both directions of the front and back sides of the plate body, even if either side of the plate body is used as an upper surface for cooking, It can be carried on the plate body without being spilled, and can be carried without oil or residue left over after cooking.

In this case, when the handle is in the inoperative position, a gap through which a finger can pass is formed between the grip part at the middle part of the handle and the peripheral edge of the plate body (claim 2). (Invention), by raising the handle by passing a finger through the gap, it becomes easy to perform an operation when rotating the handle upward.

Here, the plate body is made of a magnetic material, but a graphite material can be used instead of a metal magnetic material such as iron. Although the weight can be reduced by adopting this graphite material, on the other hand, the plate body made of the graphite material is relatively fragile as compared with metal. At this time, when both ends of the handle are inserted into the holes formed on the outer surface of the plate body, the thickness of the hole forming portion is divided by the holes. .

However, the plate body is made of graphite material, and both ends of the handle are inserted into the holes formed on the outer side surface of the plate body, and the holes are formed in the thickness direction of the plate body. If it is formed in the central portion (the invention of claim 3), it is most advantageous in terms of strength, and it is possible to suppress an increase in the thickness of the plate body.

[0012] Further, the both ends of the handle may be inserted into the holes of the plate body, and the fittings may be press-fitted and fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the holes to prevent the handles from being pulled out. (Invention of Claim 4) According to this, both ends of the handle can be securely attached in a state of being prevented from being pulled out, and the attaching work can be easily completed.

Further, the plate body may be made of a graphite material, and a metal protection frame may be attached to the peripheral edge of the plate body, and both ends of the handle may be attached to the metal protection frame. invention). According to this, the metal protection frame can protect the peripheral portion of the plate body from an external force, and it is possible to secure the strength of the plate body without forming a hole in the plate body, and further improve the mounting strength of the handle. Can be achieved.

The handle may be elastically engaged with the engaged portion provided on the plate body so as to be temporarily held in the inoperative position (the invention of claim 6). According to this, by temporarily holding the handle in the inoperative position, cooking, cleaning, and the like can be easily performed without the handle dangle or obstruct.

Further, it is also possible to arrange such that the handle located in the inoperative position is positioned and fixed to the main body of the electromagnetic cooker while being placed on the main body of the electromagnetic cooker (the invention of claim 7). According to this, the handle does not interfere with cooking when placed on the main body of the electromagnetic cooker,
Moreover, it is possible to prevent the plate body from shifting due to the positioning and fixing by the handle.
