Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention is applicable to rice storage, measuring rice and water, washing rice,
The present invention relates to a rice cooking device that automatically performs rice cooking processes including preparation, cooking, and keeping warm.

Configuration of Conventional Example and Its Problems Conventionally, in this type of rice cooking device, in order to take out the cooked rice, the pot or rice cooker was taken out.

Also, when the automatic rice cooker is operating to measure rice or water, wash rice, prepare rice, cook rice, keep warm, etc., the pilot lamp lights up to display which process is currently in progress. Because the rice was so warm, I sometimes accidentally took out the pot or rice cooker even when the automatic rice cooker was in operation.

There were problems with the rice and water spilling out of the pot, and the rice not being cooked properly.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a rice cooking device that solves these conventional problems, prevents erroneous operation, and improves safety.

Structure of the Invention The present invention includes a rice jug, a rice and water measuring device, a rice washing device, and a rice cooker.
The rice cooker is removably stored in a drawer with a locking device, and the locking device is activated during rice preparation, allowing the rice cooker to be stored when measuring rice, washing rice, and adding rice and water to the rice cooker pot. This is to ensure that the drawer that has been removed is locked.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the drawings, 1 is a main body, and 2 is a rice bin that can be freely inserted into and taken out of the main body 1, and is located at the upper part of the main body 1.

3 is a rice measuring device attached to the bottom of rice bin 2, 4
is the opening 2 facing the opening 22 of the rice measuring device 3
3 is a rice washing device, 5 is a rice cooker, 6 is a water tank, 7 is a pump connected to the water tank 6, 8 is a water supply pipe whose one end is connected to the water tank 6 and the other end is connected to a water pipe, and 9 is a water supply pipe. A drain pipe connected to the rice washing device 4 is used to drain dirty water after washing the rice to the outside of the main body 1. 10 is a switch operation unit attached to the front of the rice pot 2, 11 is a control circuit connected to the switch operation unit 10 to control each part, and 12 is a rice cooker 5.
This drawer is located at the bottom of the main body 1. 13 is a handle of the drawer 12, and 14 is a rotary lever provided inside the handle 13, by which the hand is pulled to release the lock when the drawer 12 is opened. 15 is a hook that fixes the drawer 12 to the main body 1 and is connected to the rotating lever 14. 16
17 is a lid opening/closing lever that opens and closes the lid of the rice cooker 5; 18 is a gear motor that is a drive source for the lid opening/closing lever 17; 19 is a rotating shaft of the gear motor 18; The attached link 20 is a link 21 that transmits the rotational movement of the link 19 to the lid opening/closing lever 17.
is a lock lever that engages and locks the hook 15 with the hook stopper 16 when the lid opening/closing lever 17 operates to open the lid of the rice cooker 5;
It is rotatably attached to the main body 1 via a shaft 24.

Next, the operation of the automatic rice cooking device having the above configuration will be explained.

When the switch operation unit 10 is operated to turn on the power, the gear motor 18 rotates first, and the link 1
The lid opening/closing lever 17 is operated via the levers 9 and 20 to open the lid of the rice cooker 5.

At this time, the end of the lock lever 21 is pushed by the lid opening/closing lever 17 and rotates around the shaft 24.
The other end presses the hook 15 and the hook stopper 16
Since the rice cooker 15 is latched and locked, when the lid of the rice cooker 15 is open, the drawer 12 can be locked in the main body 1.
I can't get more out of it.

When the lid of the rice cooker 5 is opened, the rice measuring device 3 installed at the bottom of the rice pot 2 operates to supply a certain amount of rice to the rice washing device 4, and then the pump 7 operates to fill the water in the water tank 6. Rice is washed by supplying water under pressure to the rice washing device 4. When this rice washing is completed, the rice washing device 4 moves onto the rice cooker 5, opens the valve, and pours the rice and water into the rice cooker 5.
It is something to be prepared for. When the rice and water are completely charged into the rice cooker 5, the gear motor 18 operates again, and the lid opening/closing lever 17 operates to close the lid of the rice cooker 5.

In this case, the lock lever 21 is the lid opening/closing lever 1.
7, it is no longer pressed, so it can be rotated freely.If you put your hand into the handle 13, pull the rotation lever 14 toward you, the hook 15 will come off the hook stopper 16, and the lock will be released, and the drawer will be released. You can pull out 12.

Therefore, when measuring rice, washing rice, and rice cooker 5.
During rice cooking preparation operations such as loading rice and water into the rice cooker, the drawer 12 housing the rice cooker 5 is locked by the hook stopper 16 and the hook 15, so the drawer 12 cannot be pulled out. This prevents rice and water from spilling outside the rice cooker 5.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the embodiments above, the rice cooking device of the present invention includes a rice pot, a measuring device for rice and water, a rice washing device, a rice cooker having a lid, and a rice cooker that can be detachably attached to the main body. the main body is provided with a hook stopper, the drawer is provided with a hook that locks on the hookstop when the drawer is stored in the main body, and the hook is rotated near the handle of the drawer. A lid opening/closing lever is provided for opening and closing the lid of the rice cooker, and in conjunction with the rotation of the lid opening/closing lever, the hook is locked to the hook stopper when the lid of the rice cooker is opened. A locking lever is provided to lock the rice, so when preparing to cook rice,
In other words, when the lid of the rice cooker is opened, the drawer is always locked due to the engagement between the hook and the lid of the rice cooker, and as a result, when rice or water is put into the rice cooker, there is no chance of the user accidentally putting rice or water into the rice cooker. Since the drawer will no longer be pulled out,
This prevents rice and water from spilling outside the rice cooker, preventing erroneous operation and improving safety. In addition, since the structure is extremely simple in that a hook stopper provided on the main body is engaged with a hook provided on the drawer, a reliable locking device that is difficult to break down can be obtained.
