[0003]
[Patent Document 1]
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-015139
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the conventional configuration uses a stand that is separate from the main body of the cooker, so that the stand is obstructive during cooking, and the stand is lost and cannot be stored during device storage. In addition, due to the presence of the stand, there is a problem that it is necessary to secure a larger space for storage than the device itself.
[0005]
In order to solve the above-described conventional problems, the present invention allows the cooker body and the lid to be fixed and easily stored without using separate members, and does not require a large space for storage. The purpose is to provide an electric cooker.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the electric cooker according to the present invention allows the leg portion supporting the cooker body to be retractable with respect to the cooker body, and the lid is fixed when the leg portion is stowed. An engaging member for releasing the fixing of the lid is provided so as to interlock with the leg portion.
[0007]
As a result, when storing the equipment, the cooker body and the lid can be easily stored by being fixed by the engaging members interlocking with the legs, and the size of the equipment itself without using a separate member. It does not require a lot of space.
[0008]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The invention according to claim 1 is a plate for cooking, a cooker body having a heater for heating the plate, a lid for covering an upper surface of the plate, and a leg portion of an outer bottom portion for supporting the cooker body. The leg portion is retractable with respect to the cooker main body, and the engaging member for fixing the lid body when the leg portion is stowed and releasing the fixing of the lid body when standing is linked to the leg portion. By using the electric cooker provided in the box, the cooker body and lid can be easily fixed by engaging members that interlock with the legs when storing the equipment. It does not require space.
[0009]
According to a second aspect of the present invention, when the leg portion is housed in the cooker body and is fixed by the engaging member of the lid, an energization circuit to the heater is opened in conjunction with the leg member. Since the electric cooker is used, the heater is not energized when the legs are stored, and the high heat of the bottom surface of the cooker body does not heat the table or the like, so that it can be used safely.
[0010]
According to a third aspect of the present invention, when the leg portion is housed in the cooker body and is fixed by the engaging member of the lid body, the connection of the power feeding connector is blocked in conjunction with this. By using the described electric cooker, the heater can be used safely without being energized inadvertently when the legs are stored.
[0011]
According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, when the electric power connector is connected, the electric cooker according to the first aspect of the present invention prevents the leg from being stored in the main body of the cooker by the connector, so that the leg portion is stored. The risk of the table and the like becoming hot due to the high heat of the bottom surface of the cooker body due to.
[0012]
The invention according to claim 5 is the electric cooker according to claim 1, wherein a plurality of engaging members interlocking with the leg portions are provided in stages, whereby a plurality of plates are placed on the cooker body and the lid body In addition, since it can be fixed by a plurality of engaging members provided in different stages when stored together, it is easy to use.

[0025]
That is, during cooking in the standing state shown in FIG. 6, the switch 30 is closed and the heater 12 is energized. As shown in FIG. 7, when the leg portion 19 rotates and the leg member 19 b is accommodated in the storage portion 20, the leg member 19 b pushes the push button 31 of the switch 30, thereby energizing the heater 12 of the switch 30. Open the circuit. Thereby, when the leg member 19b is housed in the storage portion 20 of the cooker body 16, and the engaging member 19d fixes the lid 24 and the lid 24 cannot be easily removed, the heater 12 cannot be energized. Yes.
[0026]
Therefore, when the cooker body 16 is not supported by the legs 19 (during storage), the bottom surface 16d of the cooker body 16 may be heated close to the table or the like, but this danger is prevented. can do.
[0027]
Example 3
8 and 9 show an electric cooker in Embodiment 3 of the present invention. Since the basic configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted, and only different portions will be described.
[0028]
In the figure, reference numeral 40 denotes a shielding wall provided so as to protrude from the side surface of the leg member 19b, and is provided only on the leg member 19b corresponding to the plug receiver 42. Reference numeral 41 denotes a corner attached to the plug receiver 42, and a square plate 43 is attached to the inside of the cooker body 16 opposite to the corner 41, and the square plate 43 is connected to the terminal 44 of the heater 12. Reference numeral 45 denotes a lower wall of the plug receiver 42. The lower wall 45 is provided with an opening hole 46 through which the shielding wall 40 can protrude into the plug receiver 42 when the leg member 19b rotates. Reference numeral 47 denotes a connector that is detachably connected to the corner 41 in the plug receiver 42 and supplies a current to the heater 12.
[0029]
In the above configuration, FIG. 8 is a standing state where the leg member 19b is positioned below the cooker body 16, and cooking is performed, and the connector 47 is detachably connected to the plug receiver. When the device is stored, as shown in FIG. 9, the shield member 40 enters the inside of the plug receptacle 42 through the opening hole 46 by rotating the leg member 19b. In this state, the connector 47 can be connected. Can not. Therefore, the heater 12 cannot be energized when the device is stored, and the risk of heating the table or the like on which the cooker body 16 is placed can be prevented.

The engaging member 61 is provided in a step different from the engaging member 19 d and rotates in conjunction with the leg portion 19. In addition, the engagement member 61 can also be provided with two or more instead of only one.
[0037]
As a result, as shown in FIG. 12, the engaging members 19d and 61 are positioned in the recess 23 during cooking, that is, when standing, but the engaging member 61 is not covered when the device is stored as shown in FIG. 24 engagement surfaces 25 are pressed and fixed to the cooker body 16 together with the plate 11. FIG. 13 shows an attempt to store two plates 11 in a stacked manner, and the cover 24 is positioned higher on the cooker body 16 by the amount of the two stacked sheets, but the engaging member 61 is engaged with the cover 24. The surface 25 can be pressed.
[0038]
Therefore, for example, a plurality of different types of plates can be stacked together and stored, which is easy to use.
[0039]
