Abstract

AN ELECTRIC COOKER INCLUDES AN ELECTRIC MOTOR (13), AN OPERATION SWITCH (16) TO OPERATE THE MOTOR (13) UPON A USER ACTIVATING THE OPERATION SWITCH (16), A SAFETY SWITCH (12) TO SWITCH BETWEEN AN ACTIVATED STATUS AND A DEACTIVATED STATUS, A CONTAINER (2) HAVING AN OPENING THROUGH WHICH THE FOOD (1001C) CAN BE LOADED AND UNLOADED, A LID (5) ATTACHED DETACHABLY ONTO THE CONTAINER (2) SO AS TO COVER THE OPENING OF THE CONTAINER (2), A LEVER (4) OPERABLE TO MOVE FROM AN ACTIVATED POSITION TO A DEACTIVATED POSITION UPON THE LID (5) BEING ATTACHED ONTO THE CONTAINER (2), A LEVER DETECTOR (6) ACTIVATING THE SAFETY SWITCH (12) ACCORDING TO THE LEVER (4), AND A LEVER ACTUATOR (7) TO MOVE THE LEVER (4). IN THE ACTIVATED STATUS, THE ELECTRIC MOTOR (13) OPERATES WHEN THE OPERATION SWITCH (16) IS ACTIVATED. IN THE DEACTIVATED STATUS, THE MOTOR (13) DOES NOT OPERATE EVEN WHEN THE OPERATION SWITCH (16) IS ACTIVATED. THE LEVER (4) IS OPERABLE TO MOVE FROM AN ACTIVATED POSITION TO A DEACTIVATED POSITION UPON THE LID (5) BEING ATTACHED ONTO THE CONTAINER (2). THE LEVER DETECTOR (6) IS OPERABLE TO SET THE SAFETY SWITCH (12) IN THE DEACTIVATED STATUS WHEN THE LEVER (4) IS LOCATED AT THE DEACTIVATED POSITION, AND TO SET THE SAFETY SWITCH (12) IN THE ACTIVATED STATUS WHEN THE LEVER (4) IS LOCATED AT THE ACTIVATED POSITION. THE LEVER ACTUATOR (7) MOVES THE LEVER (4) FROM THE ACTIVATED POSITION TO THE DEACTIVATED POSITION UPON THE USER ACTIVATING THE LEVER ACTUATOR (7). THIS ELECTRIC COOKER SAFELY PREVENTS THE ELECTRIC MOTOR (13) FROM ROTATING EVEN IF DEPOSITS OF FOOD (1001C) ADHERE ONTO THE LEVER (4).
