次に、図7を参照して、前記米排出ガイド45の受け部54を米通過口22に取り付ける手順について説明する。
先ず、受け部54を米通過口22の下方に配置する。このとき、図7(a)に示すように、被係合部56が係合部49の若干後方側に位置するように米通過口22に対して受け部54を配置する。
次に、受け部54を上方移動させて米通過口22の周壁部42に受け部54の上部を外嵌させる。このとき、図7(b)に示すように、被係合部56(又は受け部54)の上端をシール材載置面43を構成する壁部52の下面に接当させると(接当させなくてもよい)、被係合部56の突出部58が係合部49の係合凸部51よりも上方側に位置する。
Next, a procedure for attaching the receiving portion 54 of the rice discharge guide 45 to the rice passage opening 22 will be described with reference to FIG.
First, the receiving portion 54 is disposed below the rice passage opening 22. At this time, as shown in FIG. 7A, the receiving portion 54 is disposed with respect to the rice passage opening 22 so that the engaged portion 56 is located slightly behind the engaging portion 49.
Next, the receiving part 54 is moved upward so that the upper part of the receiving part 54 is fitted on the peripheral wall part 42 of the rice passage opening 22. At this time, as shown in FIG. 7B, when the upper end of the engaged portion 56 (or the receiving portion 54) is brought into contact with the lower surface of the wall portion 52 that constitutes the sealing material placing surface 43 (the contact is made). The protrusion 58 of the engaged portion 56 is positioned above the engagement convex portion 51 of the engagement portion 49.

次に、受け部54を前方にスライド(略水平方向にスライド)させて、図7(c)に示すように、被係合部56のベース部57の前面下部を係合部49の後面に接当させる(接当させなくてもよい)。この状態で、被係合部56の突出部58(係合凹部59)が係合部49の係合凸部51の真上に位置する。
次に、受け部54を下方に移動させると、図7(d)に示すように、係合部49の係合凸部51に被係合部56の突出部58の係合凹部59が上方側から嵌合し、係合部49の係合凸部51に被係合部56の係合凹部59が嵌合することにより、米通過口22に対する受け部54の前後方向の動きが規制される。
Next, the receiving portion 54 is slid forward (slid in a substantially horizontal direction), and the lower front portion of the base portion 57 of the engaged portion 56 is placed on the rear surface of the engaging portion 49 as shown in FIG. Make contact (you do not have to contact). In this state, the protrusion 58 (engagement recess 59) of the engaged portion 56 is positioned directly above the engagement protrusion 51 of the engagement portion 49.
Next, when the receiving portion 54 is moved downward, as shown in FIG. 7D, the engaging concave portion 59 of the protruding portion 58 of the engaged portion 56 is moved upward to the engaging convex portion 51 of the engaging portion 49. By engaging the engagement concave portion 59 of the engaged portion 56 with the engagement convex portion 51 of the engagement portion 49, the movement of the receiving portion 54 in the front-rear direction with respect to the rice passage port 22 is restricted. The

また、このとき、左右の被係合部56が米通過口22の周壁部42の側壁42aによって左右方向の動きが規制され(米通過口22に対する受け部54の左右方向の動きが規制され)るので、係合部49に対して被係合部56が左右方向に外れることがない。
また、受け部54を米通過口22から取り外すには、前述した手順と逆の動作によって行われる。
前述したように、本実施形態では、米通過口22に対して米排出ガイド45の受け部54が簡単に取付け・取外しすることができるよう構成されている。
At this time, the left and right engaged portions 56 are restricted from moving in the left-right direction by the side wall 42a of the peripheral wall portion 42 of the rice passage opening 22 (the movement of the receiving portion 54 in the left-right direction relative to the rice passage opening 22 is restricted). Therefore, the engaged portion 56 does not come off in the left-right direction with respect to the engaging portion 49.
Moreover, in order to remove the receiving part 54 from the rice passage port 22, it is performed by the operation | movement reverse to the procedure mentioned above.
As described above, in the present embodiment, the receiving portion 54 of the rice discharge guide 45 is configured to be easily attached / detached to / from the rice passage opening 22.

また、米排出ガイド45の受け部54を米通過口22に取り付ける構造としては、前記実施形態の構造のものに限定されることはない。
前記構成の炊飯機にあっては、貯米タンク12内の米を取り出す場合、タンク支持体18から洗米タンク4を取り外すと共に、米通過口22に米排出ガイド45の受け部54を取り付け、米排出ガイド45のガイド部材55の下端側を床等に載置された容器に挿入する。この状態で、米計量器23を駆動させると、貯米タンク12内の米を容器へと取り出すことができる。
Further, the structure for attaching the receiving portion 54 of the rice discharge guide 45 to the rice passage opening 22 is not limited to the structure of the above embodiment.
In the rice cooker having the above-described configuration, when the rice in the rice storage tank 12 is taken out, the rice washing tank 4 is removed from the tank support 18 and the receiving portion 54 of the rice discharge guide 45 is attached to the rice passage opening 22. The lower end side of the guide member 55 of the discharge guide 45 is inserted into a container placed on the floor or the like. When the rice meter 23 is driven in this state, the rice in the rice storage tank 12 can be taken out into a container.

なお、洗米タンクを取り外した状態で、貯米タンク12内の米を取り出す際において、容器を米通過口22の下方に配置するようにすると前述した米排出ガイド45は必要ではないが、この場合、撹拌棒26が邪魔者になるので、該撹拌棒26を取り外す作業が必要であるばかりでなく、容器を手で保持しながら、米計量器23を操作しなければならないという問題もある。
また、本実施形態では、米の計量から炊飯までを自動で行う自動炊飯機を例示したが、本発明を、米の計量から洗米した米を水加減水と共に洗米タンクから排出する自動洗米機に採用してもよい。
In addition, when taking out the rice in the rice storage tank 12 with the rice washing tank removed, the rice discharge guide 45 described above is not necessary if the container is arranged below the rice passage opening 22, but in this case Since the stirring bar 26 becomes an obstacle, there is a problem that not only the work of removing the stirring bar 26 is necessary, but also the rice measuring instrument 23 must be operated while holding the container by hand.
Moreover, in this embodiment, although the automatic rice cooker which performs automatically from the measurement of rice to rice cooking was illustrated, this invention is made into the automatic rice washing machine which discharges the rice which washed the rice from the measurement of rice from a rice washing tank with hydration water. It may be adopted.
