【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は鍋を塞ぐ内蓋を着脱自在とした電気炊飯器に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
電気炊飯器は、勿論名の如く飯を炊くものであるから水と米を収容した鍋に蓋を被せてヒータにより加熱或は誘導加熱コイルによるうず電流で鍋を発熱させて炊飯を実行するものである。
【0003】
炊飯時にはその進行に伴ない、特に沸騰開始前から沸騰中に多量のおねばが発生し、その一部は蓋の上面にも流れ出る。
【0004】
このため蓋は衛生面から炊飯開始前か、鍋内の飯がなくなった時点に取り外して水洗いを行い乾燥して貼り付いたおねばや付着した飯粒等を洗い流すようにしている。(特開平5−261016号公報)
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
前述の蓋(内蓋)は、蓋体の下面中央部に設けたボスにシリコンゴム製のブッシングを係合して装着し、取り外し時には蓋の外周縁と蓋体の下面との僅かの隙間から指先を入れて蓋の外周縁に指を掛けてブッシングとボスの係合を外すようにしている。
【0006】
ところが、指先を僅かの隙間に入れるには一見簡単なようであるが面倒である。
【0007】
その理由は、蓋の外周縁と蓋体の下面との隙間は、設置空間や取り扱いの便宜上、炊飯器本体の全高を可能な限り低くすることが定常化されており、又蓋体の閉塞時において蓋が大きく傾いていると外周縁が鍋の所定位置に密着しなかったり無理に蓋体を閉めると蓋が変形することにもなりかねないためできるだけ小さくなるように設定している。
【0008】
従って蓋と蓋体の隙間の大きさと蓋の取り外し操作とは反しており、隙間を小さくすると蓋の取り外しが面倒であり、隙間を大きくすると蓋の取り外しが簡単になるものの本体の外径寸法や炊飯性能に影響を及ぼすことになった。
【0009】
本発明は、特に内蓋と外蓋との隙間を大きくすることなく内蓋を簡単に取り外すことができるようにしたものである。
【0010】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、炊飯物を収容する鍋と、外蓋と該外蓋の下側に着脱自在に装着する内蓋とからなる蓋体とを備え、前記内蓋の下面に指掛片を有する補助板を固定したものである。
【0011】
また、前記内蓋には鍋内の圧力を調整する圧力調整弁或は鍋内の圧力を抜く圧力抜き弁の一方又は、両方を取り付け、前記補助板の固定と同時に圧力調整弁或は圧力抜き弁を蓋に固定するものである。
【0012】
そして、前記蓋体は、その一側を鍋を収納する炊飯器本体に開閉自在に枢着し、他側を掛止部によって炊飯器本体に掛止自在としたものであって、前記補助板は前記蓋体の掛止部側に位置する内蓋の下面に固定したものである。

【0018】
前記内蓋(14)には、図1に示す様に外周縁に設けたカール部(23)に嵌合するリング状のシールパッキング(24)と、上面の前記ヒンジ(15)寄りの位置に固定した圧力調整弁(25)と、上面の前記掛止部(16)寄りの位置に固定した圧力抜き弁(26)と、前記圧力調整弁(25)と圧力抜き弁(26)との中間付近には安全弁(27)を設けている。
【0019】
前記圧力調整弁(25)は、通常状態ではスプリング(28)によって押し下げられて蒸気孔(29)を塞ぎ、鍋内が所定圧力以上になるとスプリングに抗して押し上げられ蒸気孔を開放する弁杆(30)を備えている。
【0020】
前記圧力抜き弁(26)は、通常使用時にはスプリング(31)により圧力孔(32)を閉じており、蓋体(12)を開放する場合に前記圧力機構(19)によって作動杆(33)を押し下げて圧力孔(32)を強制的に開くものである。

【0022】
従って、補助板(34)は前記蓋体(14)のロック或はアンロックを行う掛止部(16)側に位置する内蓋(14)の下面に固定され、蓋体(12)の開放時には指掛片(35)が使用者側に近くなる。
【0023】
尚、補助板は圧力抜き弁と同時に内蓋に固定したが、機構上、圧力調整弁を掛止部側に固定し圧力抜き弁をヒンジ側に固定したものであれば補助板を圧力調整弁と同時に内蓋に固定する。
【0024】
【発明の効果】
以上の様に本発明は、内蓋の下面に指掛片を有する補助板を固定したものであるから、仮に内蓋と外蓋との距離が小さくとも指先を指掛片に引っ掛けて内蓋を外蓋から容易に取り外すことができる。
【0025】
また、前記補助板は、内蓋に固定した圧力調整弁或は圧力抜き弁と同時に内蓋に固定するものであるから、固定箇所が少なく作業が簡単になると共に、補助板と同時固定した前述の弁の固定部付近が内蓋と補助板の二層構成となり内蓋の強度が向上する。
【0026】
そして、前記補助板は、蓋体の掛止部側に位置する内蓋の下面に固定したものであるから、蓋体の開放時には指掛部が手前側に位置し指掛部への指掛けが行いやすく、広い空間で内蓋を簡単に取り外すことができる。
