Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is used for a rice cooker that supplies washed rice, water, etc. from a supply port provided in a lid to a pot.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A dish-shaped receiving portion is provided inside the upper end of a hook, and a lid having a supply port is attached to the hook so that its outer edge is placed on the receiving portion.

[0003]

In order to smoothly open and close the lid, the outer circumference of the lid is made smaller than the outer circumference of the receiving portion. Therefore, the outer edge of the lid slides on the receiving portion, and this moves forward, backward, leftward and rightward with respect to the hook. Then, the position of the supply port may be displaced, which may hinder the supply of washed rice and water from the rice washing machine.

[0004]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is provided with a dish-shaped receiving portion 9 and a conical surface or spherical guide portion 22 on the inside and outside of the upper end of a shuttle 6 for supplying. Mouth 11
A lid 7 having an outer edge 10 is attached to the pot 6 so that the outer edge 10 is placed on the receiving portion 9, and a shutter 19 is provided so as to move along a rail 14 fixed to the lid 7 to open and close the supply port 11. The rice cooker is provided with a pair of support legs 21 attached to both ends of the rail 14 so as to sandwich the guide portion 22 and contact the guide portion 22.

[0005]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the shutter 19 is moved along the rail 14 and the supply port 11 is moved.
Open, and put the washed rice and water from the supply port 11 into the pot 6 and then return the shutter 19 to the original position to close the supply port 11. When the kettle 6 is lit, the rice in it is boiled to form rice. After that, the lid 7 is removed from the pot 6 and the rice in it is taken out.

The kettle 6 emptied in this way is again covered with the lid 7.
do. That is, the lid 7 is placed on the shuttle 6 so that the outer edge 10 is placed on the receiving portion 9. Then, the left and right support legs 21 descend along the conical surface or spherical guide portion 22 and sandwich the same and stop. Therefore, the lid 7 is guided by the guide portion 22 and its center coincides with the center of the shuttle 6.

[0007]

[Effect] As described above, the lid 7 is attached to the pot 6 so that the outer edge 10 thereof is placed on the dish-shaped receiving portion 9 larger than this, so that the lid 7 can be easily opened and closed. On the other hand, the pot 6
When the lid 7 is attached to the lid 7, the pair of support legs 21 fixed to the lid 7 are brought into contact with the conical surface or the spherical guide portion 22 of the upper end of the shuttle 6 so as to sandwich it from both sides, and the shuttle 6 and the lid 7 are attached. The centers match. Therefore, the supply port 11 provided in the lid 7 occupies a fixed position with respect to the pot 6, so that rice and water can be stably supplied from the rice washing machine and the like.

[0008]

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 2, a pair of bases 2 and 2 are arranged side by side on the machine frame 1, and when the levers 3 and 3 are pushed and pulled, they slide back and forth. Pair of burners 4,4
Are fixed on the bases 2 and 2, respectively. Outer pot 5,
5 rides on the burners 4 and 4, and the pots 6 and 6 (inner pot) are contained therein (Fig. 4). The lids 7, 7 cover the respective pots 6, 6. The rice washing device 8 is slidably attached to the machine frame 1, and when it is moved to the right, it comes on the right pot 6, and when it is moved to the left, it comes on the left pot 6, and each pot 6,
The washed rice can be supplied in the 6th place.

Since the following configurations are the same for the left and right hooks 6 and 6, only one will be described. As shown in FIGS. 3, 4 and 5, the dish-shaped receiving portion 9 is provided inside the upper end of the shuttle 6, the outer edge 10 of the lid 7 rides on the receiving portion 9, and the lid 7 covers the shuttle 6. (Fig. 4). A supply port 11 is provided in the center of the lid 7 (FIG. 3), and rice and water are supplied into the pot 6 through the supply port 11. A rail 14 is composed of a U-shaped iron plate 12 having a downward cross section and an L-shaped iron plate 13 attached to the inside of the iron plate 12 (FIG. 5).
Is fixed to the lid 7 with rivets 16 on both sides. In addition,
A receiver 18 having a hole 17 that overlaps the supply port 11 is arranged on the lid 7, and is fixed to the lid 7 together with the rails 14 and 14 by the rivets 16 described above.

A shutter is formed by fixing a resin plate under the iron plate.
9 is formed, and the knob 20 projects from the center thereof.
The side edges of the shutter 19 enter the respective grooves 15, 15 and move along the rails 14, 14 on the receiver 18.
Close it above the supply port 11 and come to the side and open it. Rail 1
A pair of support legs 21 and 21 are fixed to both ends of 4, 14 downward. A conical or spherical guide portion 22 is provided outside the upper end of the shuttle 6. When the lid 7 is attached to the hook 6 so that the outer edge 10 is placed on the receiving portion 9, the pair of supporting legs 2
1, 21 contact the guide portion 22 so as to sandwich both sides of the guide portion 22.

A spring 23 is provided at the center of the rail 14 and presses the shutter 19 which has come above the supply port 11 against the receiving member 18 to enhance the airtightness of the shuttle 6. A notch 24 is provided in the center of the inner piece of the iron plate 12 (FIG. 4),
When the shutter 19 coming above the supply port 11 is pulled up, its end engages with the notch 24, and the shutter 19 and the rail 14 are prevented from slipping. That is, when the shuttle 6 is opened, the knob 20 is pulled up to pull up the shutter 19 and the lid 7.
Is removed from the kettle 6. At this time, if the lid 7 is tilted,
Although the center of gravity is biased, the rails 14 and 14 may slide on the shutter 19 and the lid 7 may drop. However, according to the above configuration, when the knob 20 is lifted, the end of the shutter 19 is engaged with the rail 14. However, since the lid 7 and the shutter 19 are integrated, the above fear is eliminated.

When the table 2 is pulled out from the machine frame 1, the shutter 19 and the lid 7 are integrated and pushed (rice cooking position).
Then, the shutter 19 can be configured to be slidable with respect to the lid 7. That is, as shown in FIGS. 6, 7, and 8, the iron plate 12 that is the inner side when attached to the base 2
Is attached to the iron plate 13 so as to slide around the shaft 25, and is urged counterclockwise by the spring 26. Therefore, when the base 2 is pulled out from the machine frame 1, the iron plate 12 is pulled counterclockwise by the spring 26 and the notch 24 is engaged with the end of the shutter 19 (FIGS. 7 and 8), and the rail Shutter 1 on 14
9 is fixed. When this stand 2 is pushed into the machine frame 1, the receiving rod 27 (FIG. 1) fixed to the machine frame 1 hits the lower part of the iron plate 12, and pushes it against the spring 26 in the clockwise direction.
The notch 24 is separated from the end of the shutter 19 (FIG. 6). Then, the shutter 19 is in a state where it can freely move along the rails 14, 14. That is, when the platform 2 is pushed into the machine frame 1, the hawk 29 of the arm 28 engages with the knob 20 and the shutter 19 becomes movable as described above, so that the arm 28 rotates around the shaft 30. When the shutter is swung to, the shutter 19 slides along the rails 14, 14 to open and close the supply port 11.
