2. Description of the Related Art It is known that a clad material is used as a pot used in this type of rice cooker. This clad material is a steel plate in which aluminum with good thermal conductivity and magnetic stainless steel, which is a magnetic material, are rolled and pressure-bonded in a flat plate state. Is manufactured into a pot. As a result, the pan is formed such that the outer surface is covered with the magnetic stainless steel forming the induction heating portion and the inner surface is covered with aluminum forming the heat conducting portion.

However, when trying to construct a pot using the above-mentioned clad material, usually, the clad material has to be deep-drawn by pressing, and the degree of freedom in designing the shape and the like is also high. It has the drawback of being low.

(m · sec · ° C.), the induction heating part has a thermal conductivity of about 1 / 8.5 as compared with the heat conducting part, which means that it hardly contributes to heat transfer. Become.
Furthermore, magnetic stainless steel has a heat capacity of 0.
Since it is about 85 (cal / ° C · cm 3 ), the thermal efficiency becomes worse than the value of about 0.59 (cal / ° C · cm 3 ) for aluminum.

Therefore, due to the characteristics of such a material, the induction heating portion made of magnetic stainless steel loses heat by an amount corresponding to its own heat capacity. However, since the clad material is used to form the pot, the entire pot must be surrounded by magnetic stainless steel, resulting in a decrease in thermal efficiency as a whole.

However, on the other hand, at the time of pan production,
While the magnetic material is in a temperature state of about 100 ° C., the molten good thermal conductor material is in a high temperature state of 800 ° C., and heat shrinks from this state, so that a large residual stress is generated. Although this is also affected by the size of the pan itself, etc., stress concentration of residual stress usually occurs at the corner portion from the peripheral edge of the bottom wall of the pan to the peripheral side wall. In this case, when the pot material is aluminum and stainless steel as described above, the yield strength against shear stress is about 5 kg / mm 2 , so the pot cracks at its corners, or the heat conduction part and the induction heating part are separated. There is a risk that

Further, the heat conducting portion 15 made of a heat conducting material having an alloy having aluminum as a main component as a base material is formed by using a molten metal forging technique. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, a low-melting-point material such as zinc or aluminum is preliminarily adhered to the inner surface of the induction heating portion 16 formed as described above by plating or the like, and the outer shape of the pan 4 is formed. Set it to the female mold K corresponding to the shape. Then, a molten heat conductor material containing aluminum as a main component is poured into the female mold K, and a male mold M corresponding to the inner shape of the pot 4 is fitted into this and molded at high pressure. It is needless to say that the arcuate wall portion 4d molded portions of the female mold K and the male mold M are shaped so as to obtain the radius of curvature R described above.

By this manufacturing, the heat conducting portion 15 made of an aluminum alloy layer is formed inside the induction heating portion 16, and a low melting point formed of stainless steel and aluminum is provided between the induction heating portion 16 and the heat conducting portion 15. The alloy layer comes to be interposed. As a result, the heat conducting portion 15 and the induction heating portion 16 can be joined in a state of being in close contact with each other, so that the thermal resistance between them can be reduced, and so-called nests are less likely to occur.

Further, when the above-mentioned pot 4 is manufactured, while the induction heating part 16 made of a magnetic material is in a temperature state of about 100 ° C., the molten good thermal conductor material (the heat conducting part 1) is used.
In the case of 5), the temperature is as high as 800 ° C., and heat shrinks from this state, so that a large residual stress occurs. Particularly, stress concentration of residual stress occurs in the corner portion 17 from the peripheral edge of the bottom wall portion 4a of the pan 4 to the peripheral side wall portion 4b. However, since the corner portion 17 is composed of the arcuate wall portion 4d having a curvature R of 0.05D or more, the pot 4 is cracked at the corner portion 17 or the heat conduction portion 15 and the induction heat generation. The part 16 does not peel off.

When a predetermined amount of rice and water are stored in the pan 4 and the operation unit 13 performs an operation to command the execution of rice cooking, the control circuit unit 1
2 starts the rice cooking operation by executing the rice cooking program. When the control signal is output from the control circuit unit 12, the inverter circuit unit 10 supplies a high frequency current of a predetermined frequency to the induction heating coils 6 and 6a.

As a result, the magnetic flux generated around the induction heating coils 6 and 6a passes through the space between the pan 4 and the induction heating part 16 and the space between the pan 4 and the ferrite 7. It will pass. Then, in the surface layer portion of the induction heating portion 16, an induction current is generated due to the change of the magnetic flux, and heat is generated due to the resistance loss, so that the pot 4 itself is heated.

At this time, good convection with little temperature unevenness can be obtained in the pan 4. That is, the peripheral portion of the bottom wall portion 4a of the pan 4, that is, the portion from the arc wall portion 4d to the inclined portion 4c is heated by the heating action of the induction heating coil 6, which is the main induction heating coil and has a large input. At this time, in the arcuate wall portion 4d to the inclined portion 4c, the water in the vicinity of the inner surface of the arc wall portion 4d is heated, and buoyancy is generated right above. Further, the adhesive force to water also acts on its inner surface. This adhesive force acts at right angles to its inner surface.

The buoyancy and the adhesive force are balanced from the arc wall 4d to the inclined portion 4c, and as shown by the broken line L in FIG. 2, the water to be heated is continuously fed from the arc wall 4d to the inclined portion 4c. As a result, a strong upward flow of water is generated, and as a result, the water in the upper part of the pan 4 falls well, so that the heated water rises on the inner side of the peripheral side wall 4b inside the pan 4 and rises on the central side. Good convection such as descending will occur. In particular, since the induction heating coil 6a is provided separately inside the induction heating coil 6, the temperature in the central portion of the pot 4, which is apt to be slightly lowered, can be appropriately increased, and the temperature inside the pot 4 can be made uniform. You will be able to plan. Therefore, it is possible to cook rice, steam, and heat while heating the whole to a uniform temperature without unevenness in temperature. It also eliminates sticking.
