Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] This invention relates to the improvement of a measuring rice bin.

Conventionally, as this type of rice bin, there is one in which a plurality of large and small measuring containers are disposed below the bottom hole of a rice storage tank and are capable of dispensing measurements either individually or all at once.

However, the deceptive rice bin has an outlet at the bottom of the rice storage tank formed into a rectangular shape with a constant width and length, and this rectangular outlet is placed directly above the large and small rice inflow openings of multiple measuring containers arranged side by side. Therefore, the opening area or opening area of the outlet corresponding to the inlet opening of the small volume metering container is smaller than the opening area for the other inflow openings.

Therefore, when the amount of rice stored in the tank decreases and approaches the bottom, the rice in the tank flows into a large volume container with a large inflow opening and a corresponding opening area, and There are disadvantages and inconveniences such as the liquid does not flow smoothly into a small-volume container, such as 300 g, which has a small corresponding opening area, is difficult to take out, and causes errors in measurement.

For this reason, there has recently been a demand in the industry for a rice bin that can smoothly flow into a small container and accurately measure rice even when the amount of rice in the tank decreases. No such thing exists.

The present invention satisfies the above requirements by applying simple means to the opening area of the tank outlet corresponding to the inflow opening of the weighing and dispensing container, and provides a new measuring rice bin that is convenient for use. It is something.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically explained based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

The measuring rice jar shown in the drawing has a rice storage tank 1 having a rectangular outlet 2 of a constant width and length on the bottom as is well known, and a normally closed inlet opening 31.31a corresponding to and communicating with the outlet 2 at the top. ,
31b, a normally closed spout 32.32a at the bottom.

It consists of a plurality of large and small measuring containers 3, 3a, and 3b each having a diameter of 32b, and each measuring container is arranged to perform a dispensing operation individually or all at once.

The rice storage tank 1 has a rectangular planar shape, and a removable lid plate 11 is placed over the upper opening to form a table shape to fit a cooking table, etc., and the outlet 2 at the bottom is parallel to the outlet directly below the outlet. small, medium and large quantity measuring containers 3.3a,
3b inlet opening 31.31a.

Each inflow opening 3 is formed into a rectangular shape having a width slightly larger than the width of 31b and a length slightly larger than the length of the parallel opening.
1. It is placed directly above 31a and 31b.

The present invention is characterized by the opening area 21 of the outlet 2 corresponding to the inlet opening 31 of the small amount measuring container 3, that is, the opening area. That is, the opening end corresponding to the short inflow opening 31 end is extended onto the inflow guide plate 33 to form a widened opening area 21, and the opening area 21 corresponding to the small amount inflow opening 31 is It is set larger than the opening area corresponding to the other medium quantity inflow opening 31b or the large quantity inflow opening 31a, in order to facilitate the flow of rice from the tank 1 into the small quantity measuring container 3.

FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, in which the outlet 2
The shape is approximately T-shaped, and the opening width corresponding to the inflow opening 31 of the small amount measuring container 3 is made larger than the opening width corresponding to the other openings 31a and 31b to form a large opening area 21. In this case, the rice can flow into the small volume container 3 more quickly and accurately.

As described above, the present invention includes the inflow opening 31 of the small amount measuring container 3.
The opening area 21 of the tank outlet 2 corresponding to the other container 3a
, 3b is set to be larger than the opening area for the openings 31a and 31b, the inlet opening 31 of the small amount measuring container 3 corresponds to the outlet opening area 21 which is wider than the opening surface thereof.
Rice flows smoothly from the holding tank to the small quantity measuring container.

Therefore, unlike conventional methods, when the remaining amount of rice in the storage tank decreases, there is no disadvantage such as a stable flow of rice into the small amount measuring container and difficulty in taking it out, and the inflow amount is always stable and accurate measurement is possible. It has a simple configuration and has significant practical effects, such as being able to realize the following.
