蒸炊する蒸炊装置を具えたものがある。In recent years, in rice cake making machines, in addition to the original mixing device that is installed from the motor and the impeller that is rotated by the motor, there is also a device that steams the rice before mixing the rice in the vat. There are some that are equipped with a steaming device.

層煩わされる問題点があった。However, the steaming equipment generally uses an electric heater to heat water stored in a tank below the tub to produce the steam necessary for steaming, and then the water in the tank evaporates and disappears. The thermostat is designed to sense the temperature of the tank (approximately 150°C), which is rapidly rising due to heating by the electric heater, and cut off the electricity to the electric heater.
The tank itself, as well as the various parts inside and around it, must be made of special materials that can withstand high heat, which inevitably leads to a steep rise in prices, and the outer box etc. also get quite hot. It was difficult to handle, and the whole tank became extremely hot when the water ran out.Mochi that sometimes dripped from the vat was likely to get stuck inside the tank, and cleaning after removing it was a problem. .

従って本考案の目的とするところは、タンク及びこれの

Nuts 1 are screwed to both end portions of the electric heater 5 that penetrates the bottom wall of the tank 4 and protrudes below the tank 4.
-, this nut 21 tightens the bottom wall of the tank 4 with the flange 20 via a packing 22.

次に上記の様な構威とした本実施例の作用を述べる。Next, the operation of this embodiment configured as described above will be described.

先ず運転に先立ち蓋９を開けて桶６内からインペラ１５
を取出し、外箱１内から桶６を取出してタンク４内にこ
れの突部１６を浸漬させて余りある必要量の水を入れる
。First, before starting operation, open the lid 9 and insert the impeller 15 from inside the tub 6.
Then, take out the tub 6 from inside the outer box 1, immerse the protrusion 16 of the tub 6 into the tank 4, and fill it with the necessary amount of remaining water.

この後、上記桶６及びインペラ１５を夫々セットして桶

タ５に通電する。After that, the tub 6 and the impeller 15 are set respectively, and the raw material of raw rice, which has been washed in advance and soaked in water for an appropriate time, is placed in the tub 6, the lid 9 is closed, and the electric heater 5 is turned on by operating a switch (not shown). Turn on electricity.

すると、その電気ヒータ５が発熱することにより、タン
ク４内の水は該ヒータ５に熱せられてやがて沸騰し蒸気
を発生する。Then, as the electric heater 5 generates heat, the water in the tank 4 is heated by the heater 5 and eventually boils to generate steam.

こうして発生せられた蒸気は最初タンク４内の水面より
上方の位置に充満し次いで図示しない蒸気噴口から桶６
内に逐次供給されて該桶６内の襦米を蒸炊する。The steam generated in this way first fills the tank 4 above the water level, and then flows into the tub 6 from a steam nozzle (not shown).
The steamed rice in the tub 6 is steam-cooked.

さて、こうして桶６内の襦米の蒸炊が開始されると、タ

になる。Now, when the steaming of the rice in the tub 6 is started, the water level in the tank 4 gradually falls, and as this falls, the part 5a of the electric heater 5 and the upper surface of the protrusion 16 eventually reach the water level. A portion 5a and a protrusion 16 of these electric heaters 5 are shown above.
The upper surface of the tank 4 is positioned above the remaining ice water level in the tank 4.

すると、その電気ヒータ５の一部５ａによって局部的に
集中して熱せられる突部１６の上面部は急激に温度が上

わりに図示しないブザーに通電してこれを鳴動させる。Then, the temperature of the upper surface of the protrusion 16, which is locally heated in a concentrated manner by the part 5a of the electric heater 5, rapidly rises in temperature. Reference numeral 18 cuts off the power supply to the electric heater 5 and instead supplies power to a buzzer (not shown) to make it ring.

そこで使用者はそのブザーの音を聞いて儒米の蒸炊が完

る。As described above, according to this embodiment, the part 5 of the electric heater 5 is positioned above the water level in the tank 4 when steaming is completed.
Similarly, the upper surface of the protrusion 16, which is located above the water level in the tank 4, is locally heated to increase the temperature of the portion, and the heat-sensitive switch 18 detects this local temperature rise. Since the structure is such that electricity is cut off to the electric heater 5 while leaving water in the tank 4, the tank 4 also has a bearing 19 located inside or around the tank 4, except for the protrusion 16 mentioned above.
etc. cannot be heated to a temperature of 100°C or higher, and the protrusion 16, which is a part of the tank 4, remains at high temperature only for a very short time until the heat-sensitive switch 18 is activated. The tank 4 and the parts located inside or around the tank 4 can be manufactured using general materials without using any special heat-resistant materials, which can fully contribute to lowering the price.

又、この様な本実施例によれば、外箱１等もさほど熱く
ならないため火傷等を起こす心配もなく扱い易いものと
なる。Further, according to this embodiment, the outer case 1 etc. do not become very hot, so it is easy to handle without worrying about causing burns or the like.

更に本実施例によれば、万一桶６内から餅が垂れ落ちる
様なことがあってもタンク４内には水が残されているた
め、従来の様にそのタンク４の内面にこびりつく様なこ
とはなく、後の掃除の手間を省き得て便利ならしめ得る
。Furthermore, according to this embodiment, even if rice cake were to drip from inside the tub 6, water would remain in the tank 4, so that it would not stick to the inner surface of the tank 4 as in the conventional case. There is nothing wrong with that, and you can save yourself the trouble of cleaning afterwards, making it more convenient.

而して、特に本実施例によれば、電気ヒータ５をタンク
４内に配設したことにより、同ヒータ５をタンク４外に
配設したものに比しタンク４内の水を効率良く加熱でき
る利点を有する。In particular, according to this embodiment, by disposing the electric heater 5 inside the tank 4, the water in the tank 4 can be heated more efficiently than when the heater 5 is disposed outside the tank 4. It has the advantage of being able to

さらに、感熱スイッチ１８はタンク４に遮ぎられて電気
ヒータ５の輻射熱を受けに＜＜、従って電気ヒータ５に
より感熱スイッチ１８の受ける輻射熱量を考慮して感熱
スイッチ１８の作動点を設定しておく必要がなく動作温
度設定が容易である。Furthermore, the heat-sensitive switch 18 is blocked by the tank 4 and receives radiant heat from the electric heater 5. Therefore, the operating point of the heat-sensitive switch 18 is set in consideration of the amount of radiant heat that the heat-sensitive switch 18 receives from the electric heater 5. It is easy to set the operating temperature.

また、感熱スイッチ１８が電気ヒータ５の輻射熱を受け
にくいことから、感熱スイッチ１８は凹部１７内での任
意の位置に取付けられ取付位置に制約を受けない。Further, since the heat-sensitive switch 18 is not easily subjected to radiant heat from the electric heater 5, the heat-sensitive switch 18 can be mounted at any position within the recess 17, and the mounting position is not restricted.
