Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a water level measuring device for rice cooking. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, when cooking rice, which is an example of a grain, if you want to cook 5 cups of rice, you put 5 cups of rice into a rice cooking container (for example, a rice cooking pot), add water up to the 5 mark on the rice cooking container, and cook it. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] However, the amount of moisture contained in grains before cooking varies depending on the cooking environment, such as the season and temperature, and the rank and type of grain. For this reason, even if you put 5 cups of rice into a rice cooker and add water up to the 5 mark on the rice cooker, the rice will still be cooked unevenly due to changes in temperature and temperature.

[0004] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above points, and aims to provide a water level measuring device for rice cooking that allows a user to cook grains to a hardness that satisfies the user, regardless of the environment during cooking or the rank or type of grain. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] (1) A rice cooking water level measuring device that measures the water level in a rice cooking container for cooking grains, a measuring unit having a scale indicating the distance from one end; a base portion formed in a plate shape, one surface of which is connected to one end of the measurement portion; the measuring unit has one end connected to the base and stands upright on the one surface, The base portion is placed on the grain placed in the rice cooking container from the other side, A rice cooking water level measuring device that is installed in the rice cooking container containing grains and water and is capable of measuring the height from above the grains to the water surface.

[0006] According to the configuration (1), a rice cooking water level measuring device is placed in a rice cooking container containing grains and water. Specifically, the base is placed on the grain from the other side. Then, the measuring unit stands upright from one side of the base. In this state, the user reads the memory of the measuring unit where the water level is located. Then, the grain is cooked, and if the cooked grain is hard, for example, the user adjusts the amount of water the next time the rice is cooked so that the water level is higher than the memory read the previous time. At this time, the user also reads the memory of the measuring unit where the water level is located this time. Then, after cooking the grains, if the cooked grains are of a satisfactory hardness, the position of the memory is stored, and the next time, the amount of water is adjusted so that the water level is at this stored memory position, allowing the grains to be cooked to a satisfactory hardness again this time. Therefore, it is possible to provide a water level measuring device for rice cooking that enables a user to cook grains to a hardness that satisfies the user, regardless of the environment during cooking or the rank or type of grain.

[0007] (2) The measuring unit has an engaging portion at one end thereof that engages with the base portion, the base portion has a holding portion on one surface thereof that holds the engaging portion, The engaging portion is engaged with the holding portion to combine the holding portion and the base portion, The water level measuring device for rice cooking described in (1) is characterized in that the holding part and the base part can be separated by releasing the engagement between the engaging part and the holding part.

[0008] According to the configuration (2), the measuring unit and the base unit can be combined when in use, and can be separated when stored, making it possible to store the device in a compact space.

[0009] (3) The water level measuring device for rice cooking according to (1) or (2), characterized in that the base portion has a base hole formed therein that penetrates from one side to the other side.

[0010] According to the configuration (3), a base hole is formed in the base part, so when the rice cooking water level measuring device is installed in a rice cooking container containing grains and water, the water passes through the base hole, making it easier to submerge the grains to the top. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] According to the present invention, a water level measuring device for cooking rice can be provided that enables a user to cook grains to a hardness that satisfies the user, regardless of the environment during cooking or the rank or type of grain. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0013] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the following description, the same or similar components are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted or simplified.

[0014] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a state in which a rice cooking water level measuring device according to one embodiment of the present invention is installed in a rice cooking container containing grains and water. The rice cooking water level measuring device 1 includes a measuring unit 10 and a base unit 20 that supports the measuring unit 10, and measures the water level of water W placed in a rice cooking container 100 for cooking grain R.

[0015] The measuring unit 10 is provided with a scale M indicating the distance from one end, and one end is connected to the base 20, standing upright from one side of the base 20. The scale M is represented by a plurality of lines spaced 1 mm apart, for example. The scale M may also be provided with numbers that increase in order from the one end.

[0016] The base part 20 is formed in a plate shape when viewed from above, one end side of the measuring part is connected to one surface, and the other surface is placed on the grain R placed in the rice cooking container 100.

[0017] With this configuration, the rice cooking water level measuring device 1 is installed in a rice cooking container 100 containing grain R and water W, and can measure the height from above the grain R to the surface of the water W.

[0018] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a water level measuring device for rice cooking according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of the joint between the measuring part and the base part in the water level measuring device for rice cooking according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0019] The measuring unit 10 is formed in a plate shape and has a through hole 11 formed on the other end side and an engaging unit 12 at the end side on one end side that engages with the base unit 20. The measuring unit 10 is formed in the shape of, for example, rice when viewed from the front.

[0020] The through-hole 11 is for inserting a user's finger when installing the rice cooking water level measuring device 1, and for hanging it on a hook or the like when storing it.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 3, the engaging portion 12 is formed of a shaft-shaped member having a rectangular cross section.

[0022] Returning to FIG. 2, the base portion 20 has a base hole 21 penetrating from one surface to the other surface, and a holding portion 22 on one surface that holds the engaging portion.

[0023] As shown in FIG. 3, the holding part 22 is formed in a rail shape into which the engaging part 12 of the measuring part 10 can be inserted.

[0024] FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of a water level measuring device for rice cooking according to one embodiment of the present invention. With the above configuration, the rice cooking water level measuring device 1 can combine the measuring unit 10 and the base unit 20 as shown in Figure 2 by engaging the engaging portion 12 of the measuring unit 10 with the holding portion 22 of the base unit 20, and can separate the measuring unit 10 and the base unit 20 as shown in Figure 4 by disengaging the engaging portion 12 and the holding portion 22.

[0025] The rice cooker water level meter 1 is a versatile water level meter that can be used when measuring in general cooking. By displaying the scale M as a long line, you can create an environment where you can check the parallel lines and measure accurately. It is also shaped like a rail, but it can also be made into a snap-in type.

[0026] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and modifications and improvements within the scope of achieving the object of the present invention are included in the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
