Fully automatic rice cooker

Abstract

A fully automatic rice cooker having a small size and simple structure that render the rice cooker suitable for general domestic use. The rice cooker does not break rice in washing it and can wash a pot after use. ¢MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS! The fully automatic rice cooker has a rice cooker body having an opening in its upper face and also having a space communicating with the opening; a lid bodyplaced on the upper part of the rice cooker body and capable of closing and opening the opening; an outer pot received through the opening into the space and fixed in position; an inner pot having asubstantially circular tube shape with a closed end, supported in the outer pot, and receiving an object to be cooked such as rice; heating means for heating the inner pot; inner pot rotation means connected to substantially the center of an inner pot bottom section and rotating the inner port; rotation control means for controlling the inner pot rotation means; liquid supply means for supplying liquid, such as water, into the inner pot; inner pot washing means for washing the inside of the inner pot; and discharge means for discharging a portion of the object cooked and / or the liquid suppliedby the liquid supply means and the inner pot washing means.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a fully automatic rice cooker, and more particularly relates to a fully automatic rice cooker capable of fully automatic washing of rice, cooking of rice, and cleaning of used pots and the like. Background technique [0002] For a long time, the rice cooker used in ordinary households only has the function of cooking rice and keeping the cooked rice warm. The processes before and after it, namely washing rice and cleaning the pot after use, are generally done manually by the user. . [0003] Since this manual process requires extra labor and time, it is very troublesome for people who are physically handicapped or who have a busy life such as work. Furthermore, it can be said that it is difficult to carry out this process for a person whose hands are inconvenient due to injury, disability, or the like. [0004] From this situation, many techniques for fully automating electric rice cookers have been proposed. [0005...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0009] However, although this electric rice cooker is very miniaturized compared with the technology disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, since the rice is washed by the screw, there is a very high possibility that the rice grains will break during the rice washing process, thereby damaging the rice cooker after cooking. the smell of rice

[0010] Moreover, when using this structure to cook rice, since the cooked rice covers the screw for washing rice, the screw will hinder the user when filling the rice, and sometimes the screw will be injured.

[0011] In addition, in any of the above-mentioned patent documents, the cleaning of the pots and the like after the use of the rice cooker all needs to be done manually.
