Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a cooking device, a container, and a cooking device set, and more particularly to a cooking device, a container, and a cooking device set for boiling water required for cooking. [Background technology]

[0002] Cooking appliances have been widely used in the past, and the technology relating to such cooking appliances can be found in, for example, the technology disclosed in Patent Document 1. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2018-187125 A JP 2002-112840 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In recent years, there has been a demand for the development of a technology for controlling the temperature of water at a predetermined level in a heating cooker for boiling water required for cooking.

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a cooking device, a container, and a cooking device set that can control the temperature of hot water to a predetermined temperature. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the invention relating to a heating cooker is a heating cooker for boiling water required for cooking, characterized in that it has a main body, a heating unit provided inside the main body and capable of heating the water to boil, a temperature setting unit for setting the temperature of the water, and a heating control unit for controlling the output of the heating unit based on the temperature of the water set by the temperature setting unit.

[0007] According to the present invention, the temperature of the hot water can be set by the temperature setting unit, and the output of the heating unit can be controlled based on the hot water temperature set by the heating control unit, thereby controlling the hot water temperature to a predetermined temperature. The upper end of the main body has an operating unit for setting the temperature of the hot water, and the operating unit can be rotated and pressed down, so that the temperature of the hot water can be set by rotating and pressing down, allowing the user to quickly set the temperature of the hot water by quickly rotating and pressing down the operating unit.

[0008] If a magnet is provided at the bottom of the main body, it will be possible to fix the main body in a stable upright position in a predetermined container, for example, when the main body has a long columnar shape.

[0009] If the main body has an attachment portion for attaching the main body to a predetermined container, the main body can be attached to the predetermined container. The attachment portion may be detachable from the main body.

[0010] If the main body is provided with an inlet hole for allowing the hot water to flow from the outside of the main body into the inside of the main body and an outlet hole for allowing the hot water to flow from the inside of the main body to the outside of the main body, the hot water can flow into the inside of the main body through the inlet hole and flow out to the outside of the main body through the outlet hole.

[0011] If the inlet hole is located above the outlet hole, hot water at the upper side, which has a relatively low temperature, can be introduced and heated, thereby improving the efficiency of heating the hot water.

[0012] If multiple inlet holes are provided, the inflow pressure of the hot water can be dispersed, which reduces the risk of the main body tipping over due to the inflow pressure even when hot water is flowing from an inlet hole provided above the outlet hole.

[0013] If the inlet holes are provided at an angle, the hot water inflow path becomes complex, allowing the hot water to be efficiently mixed while flowing in.

[0014] If the main body is provided with an agitating section inside the main body for agitating the hot water that has flowed in through the inlet hole, the hot water can be agitated in a predetermined manner.

[0015] The stirring portion has a shaft and a stirring blade, and the stirring blade is provided at the lower end of the shaft, and the hot water can be stirred and discharged by rotating the stirring blade.

[0016] The main body has a partition wall inside the main body to separate the space around the stirring blade from other internal spaces of the main body, and the outflow hole is located at a position corresponding in the vertical direction to the space separated by the partition wall, and by connecting the space around the stirring blade separated by the partition wall with the outside of the main body, hot water ejected from the stirring blade can be discharged outside the main body.

[0017] The partitions have a first partition, a second partition, and a third partition, the first partition covers the side of the stirring blade and is arc-shaped with a predetermined height dimension, the second partition extends toward the outlet hole so as to be continuous from one end of the arc-shaped first partition, the third partition extends toward the outlet hole so as to be continuous from the other end of the arc-shaped first partition, the second partition and the third partition extend parallel to each other and the gap between them gradually narrows from the stirring blade toward the outlet hole, hot water is discharged from the stirring blade through the arc-shaped opening and the discharged hot water flows out of the main body through the outlet hole as guided by the second partition and the third partition, the pressure of the hot water discharged from the stirring blade is gradually increased by the second partition and the third partition, and the hot water can flow out of the main body at high pressure.

[0018] If the outlet hole is located at the lower end of the main body, near the upper side of the magnet located at the bottom, problems such as the main body tipping over can be reduced even when hot water is discharged outside the main body at high pressure.

[0019] If the outlet holes are provided at a position offset to either the left or right from the center of the main body, the liquid will be more likely to collide with the wall of the container, causing the flow to become turbulent and easier to mix.

[0020] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the invention relating to the container is characterized in that the height dimension of the main body of the heating cooker is set within the range of the spacing dimension between the upper end and the lower end on the inner surface of the container, and the upper and lower ends of the main body of the heating cooker are stored so as to engage with the inner surface of the container.

[0021] According to the present invention, when the cooking device body is stored in the container with the upper and lower ends locked to the inner surface thereof, the cooking device body can be hidden within the inner space of the container, and the container can be effectively used as a storage container. The container also has a lid for closing the upper edge.

[0022] The partition device divides the inner space of the container into multiple spaces, and if it has a partition member for dividing the space into multiple spaces, and multiple holding members for holding one end and the other end of the partition member on the mutually opposing inner surfaces of the container, the inner space of the container can be divided into multiple spaces while the partition member is held by the holding members.

[0023] The multiple holding members are arranged facing each other on each of the opposing inner surfaces of the container, and the partition member can be held at its one end and the other end on the opposing inner surfaces of the container via the holding members arranged facing each other, thereby dividing the internal space of the container into multiple spaces.

[0024] The holding member has a long portion that extends vertically and an extension portion that extends from the upper end of the long portion to the outside of the container, and is engaged with the upper edge of the container via the extension portion.

[0025] The elongated portion has a recess on the inner surface side, and the one end and the other end of the partition member can be held in the recess so as to be sandwiched therebetween.

[0026] The recess has a front-to-rear recess extending in the front-to-rear direction, and by holding one end and the other end of the partition member with the front-to-rear recesses of the long portions of the holding member facing each other, the inner space of the container is divided in the front-to-rear direction and the inner space of the container is divided into multiple spaces in the vertical direction, so that the inner space of the container can be divided into multiple spaces in the vertical direction.

[0027] The recess has a vertical recess extending in the vertical direction, and by holding one end and the other end of the partition member with the vertical recesses of the opposing long portions of the holding member, the inner space of the container is divided vertically and vertically, and the inner space of the container is divided into multiple spaces in the front-to-back direction, so that the inner space of the container can be divided into multiple spaces in the front-to-back direction.

[0028] The long portion has a plurality of protrusions on the inner surface thereof that protrude inward, and the recesses are formed between adjacent protrusions.

[0029] The protrusions are arranged in a plurality in the vertical direction, and the front-rear recesses are formed between the protrusions adjacent to each other in the vertical direction.

[0030] The plurality of protrusions are arranged side by side in the front-rear direction, and the vertical recesses are formed between the protrusions adjacent to each other in the front-rear direction.

[0031] The multiple convex portions arranged in a row in the vertical direction have a first vertical convex portion and a second vertical convex portion adjacent to each other, and the front-to-rear concave portion is formed between the first vertical convex portion and the second vertical convex portion.

[0032] The front-to-rear recess is a first front-to-rear recess, and the adjacent first and second vertical protrusions are a pair of vertical protrusions, and the pair of vertical protrusions is arranged in a row in the vertical direction, and a second front-to-rear recess extending in the front-to-rear direction is formed between the pair of adjacent vertical protrusions, and the second front-to-rear recess is configured to be able to fit into the pair of vertical protrusions of the opposing elongated portions, so that the pair of vertical protrusions of the opposing elongated portions can be fitted into the second front-to-rear recess, and the opposing holding members can be stored as a single unit.

[0033] If the long portions of the holding members arranged to face each other are connected to each other at their lower ends via connecting portions, the holding members arranged to face each other via connecting portions can be held as a single unit on the facing inner surfaces of the container.

[0034] If the height dimension of the body of the heating cooker is set within the range of the spacing dimension between the upper end and the lower end on the inner surface of the container, and the upper and lower ends of the body of the heating cooker are stored so as to engage with the inner surface of the container, when the body of the heating cooker is stored so as to engage with the upper and lower ends on the inner surface of the container, the body of the heating cooker can be hidden within the inner space of the container, and the container can be effectively used as a storage container.

[0035] In order to achieve the above object, the invention relates to a cooking device set, characterized by having the cooking device described above and the container described above. [Effects of the Invention]

[0039] An overview of a cooking device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 10. The cooking device 1 is for boiling water required for cooking and includes a main body 10, an attachment unit 20, a stirring unit 30, a heating unit 40, a temperature setting unit 50, a temperature detection unit 60, a heating control unit 70, a time measurement unit 80, and a display unit 90. The temperature setting unit 50, the temperature detection unit 60, the heating control unit 70, the time measurement unit 80, and the display unit 90 form a control system 1' of the cooking device 1, and the control system 1 has the functions of a computer. That is, the control system 1 can perform the functions of each unit by executing a predetermined program. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the cooking device 1 can be used by attaching the main body 10 to a container 100 such as a pot via the attachment unit 20. As shown in FIG. 3, the cooking device 1 can also be used by freestanding the main body 10 on the container 100 such as a pot without the attachment unit 20. Cooker 1 can heat hot water filled in container 100 to a predetermined temperature. Cooker 1 can heat hot water to a relatively low temperature of 100°C or less, making it suitable for low-temperature cooking. Cooker 1 and container 100 together constitute cooker set 200. Container 100 is used to fill hot water. That is, cooker set 200 can boil water by attaching main body 10 of cooker 1 while filling a predetermined container 100 with hot water.

[0040] The main body 10 has a long cylindrical shape and is hollow inside. The main body 10 is used by immersing it in hot water filled in a container 100 such as a pot. The main body 10 can be made of a metal material such as stainless steel.

[0041] The main body 10 has a magnet 11 attached to its bottom 10a. The main body 10 has a lid 11', which is detachable from the bottom 10a of the main body as shown in FIG. 11. That is, the magnet 11 can be built into the lid 11'. The magnet 11 is detachable from the bottom 10a of the main body 10 via the lid 11'. If the container 100 contains a magnetic material such as iron that is attracted to a magnet, the magnet 11 attached to the bottom 10a acts to make the main body 10 stand on its own without the need for an attachment portion 20 (FIG. 3). The main body 10 can have an outer diameter A of 50 mm to 60 mm and a height B of 300 mm to 400 mm, for example.

[0042] The main body 10 has an inlet hole 12 and an outlet hole 13 formed on a side peripheral surface 10b of the main body 10. The inlet hole 12 is for allowing hot water to flow from the outside of the main body 10 into the hollow interior space of the main body 10. The outlet hole 13 is for allowing hot water to flow from the hollow interior space of the main body 10 to the outside of the main body 10. A plurality of inlet holes 12 are formed on the side peripheral surface 10b, and only one outlet hole 13 is formed on the side peripheral surface 10b.

[0043] The inlet holes 12 are provided above the outlet holes 13. More specifically, the inlet holes 12 are provided in multiple stages around the entire circumference of the main body 10. The inlet holes 13 are provided so as to be inclined with respect to the cylindrical axial direction of the main body 10. The inlet holes 12 are elongated along the inclined direction and are formed in a substantially elliptical shape.

[0044] One outlet hole 13 is provided on the lower end side of the main body 10. The outlet hole 13 is provided in a position near the upper side of the magnet 11 provided on the bottom part 10a. The outlet hole 13 is rectangular (quadrilateral). The outlet hole 13 is provided in a position shifted to the right side from the center 10B of the front side 10A.

[0045] The size of the outflow hole 13 (the area of ​​the outflow hole 13) is set larger than the size of each hole 12a (the area of ​​each hole 12a) constituting the inflow hole 12. In other words, the size of each hole 12a (the area of ​​each hole 12a) constituting the inflow hole 12 is set smaller than the size of the outflow hole 13 (the area of ​​the outflow hole 13).

[0046] A protrusion 10f is provided on the upper side of the middle portion of the main body 10. When viewed from the back side 10B, the protrusion 10f has an arc-shaped upper portion that protrudes upward and a arc-shaped lower portion that protrudes downward, with the middle portion connecting the upper and lower portions being rectangular in shape and extending in the vertical direction. A cable 10d that connects to the outlet 10c extends from the upper side of the protrusion 10f. The protrusion 10f is provided in the center 10D of the back side 10C of the main body 10. The protrusion 10f of the main body 10 is pulled downward by the weight of the outlet 10c and the cable 10d, which pushes the bottom 10a of the main body 10 downward, thereby ensuring a stable attachment of the main body 10 to the container 100.

[0047] The attachment part 20 is for attaching the main body 10 to a predetermined container 100. The attachment part 20 is provided in the middle part of the main body 10 in the vertical direction. As shown in FIG. 12 , the attachment part 20 has a first clamping piece 21 and a second clamping piece 22 for clamping the upper edge part 101 of the container 100.

[0048] The first clamping piece 21 has a plate-like body 21a and a protruding piece 21b that protrudes in a plate-like shape from the middle of the plate-like body 21a. The tip of the protruding piece 21b rotatably supports the second clamping piece 22 via a shaft 21c. A coil spring 21d is provided on the shaft 21c so as to surround the shaft 21c. The second clamping piece 22 is biased by the coil spring 21d in a direction to clamp the upper edge portion 101 of the container 100. In other words, the second clamping piece 22 can clamp the upper edge portion 101 of the container 100 between itself and the plate-like body 21a of the first clamping piece 21. By attaching the main body 10 to the container 100 via the attachment portion 20, a stable posture of the main body 10 can be ensured. The attachment portion 20 is primarily used when attaching the main body 10 to a container 100 that does not contain a magnetic material that is attracted to a magnet.

[0049] The attachment portion 20 is detachably attached to the main body 10. A recess 21e is provided on the upper side of the first clamping piece 21 of the attachment portion 20. The recess 21e is open upward and extends downward. The recess 21e has an arc-shaped portion that protrudes downward at the lower end, and a rectangular portion extending vertically from the upper end to the lower end. As described above, a protrusion 10f is provided in the middle of the main body 10, and the recess 21e has a shape and size corresponding to the shape and size of the protrusion 10f. In other words, the attachment portion 20 can be attached to the middle of the main body 10 by sliding the recess 21e of the first clamping piece 21 onto the protrusion 10f of the main body 10 from below. The attachment portion 20 is mainly attached to the container 100 that does not contain a magnetic material, but may be removed for the container 100 that does contain a magnetic material. A predetermined lamp 15 is provided at the top end of the main body 10. The lamp 15 can be turned on when the cooking appliance 1 is in use.

[0050] The stirring unit 30 is used to stir the hot water that flows in through the inlet hole 12. As shown in Figures 13 to 15, the stirring unit 30 has a shaft 31 and a stirring blade 32. The stirring blade 32 is provided at the lower end of the shaft 31, and by rotating the stirring blade 32, the hot water can be stirred and discharged at a predetermined pressure. The stirring unit 30 has a motor that applies a rotational force to the stirring blade 32 via the shaft 31.

[0051] Here, the main body 10 has a partition wall 14 inside. The partition wall 14 separates the space around the agitating blade 32 in the hollow interior of the main body 10 from other spaces within the hollow interior of the main body 10. The outlet hole 13 of the main body 10 described above is provided at a position corresponding in the vertical direction to the space separated by the partition wall 14, and the space separated by the partition wall 14 can be connected to the outside of the main body 10 via the outlet hole 13. By connecting the space around the agitating blade 32 separated by the partition wall 14 to the outside of the main body 10, hot water discharged from the agitating blade 32 can be discharged to the outside of the main body 10.

[0052] The partition wall 14 includes a first partition wall 14a, a second partition wall 14b, a third partition wall 14c, and a fourth partition wall 14d.

[0053] The first partition wall 14a covers the lateral side of the agitating blade 32, has a predetermined height, and is C-shaped and arc-shaped in a plan view. The first partition wall 14a is open on the upper and lower sides, and the agitating blade 32 can be inserted through the opening 14a' on the upper side.

[0054] The second partition 14b extends in a strip-like shape toward the outflow hole 13 with a predetermined height dimension C, so as to be continuous with one end 14a1 of the arc-shaped first partition 14a and to follow the arc-shaped first partition 14a (so as to be in contact with the arc-shaped first partition 14a).

[0055] The third partition wall 14c has a shape symmetrical to the second partition wall 14b, and extends in a strip shape with a predetermined height C toward the outflow hole 13 so as to be continuous with the other end 14a2 of the arc-shaped first partition wall 14a and to follow the arc shape of the first partition wall 14a (so as to be in contact with the arc shape of the first partition wall 14a). The second partition wall 14b and the third partition wall 14c extend in parallel, and the distance D between them is set to gradually narrow from the stirring blade 32 toward the outflow hole 13.

[0056] A fourth partition wall 14d is provided on the upper end sides of the second partition wall 14b and the third partition wall 14c. The upper end sides of the second partition wall 14b and the third partition wall 14c are closed by the fourth partition wall 14d.

[0057] That is, hot water is ejected from the stirring blade 32 through the openings 14a3 at the arc-shaped ends 14a1 and 14a2 of the first partition 14a, and the ejected hot water is guided by the second partition 14b, the third partition 14c, and the fourth partition 14d, increasing the ejection pressure and flowing out of the main body 10 through the outlet hole 13.

[0058] As shown in FIG. 15, the heating unit 40 is provided in the hollow interior space of the main body 10. The heating unit 40 can heat hot water filled in the container 100. The heating unit 40 can be configured, for example, by covering a nichrome wire, which is a heating element (resistance), with a metal pipe. The lower side of the metal pipe is configured to be wound in a spiral shape. The heating unit 40 is provided so that the spiral portion 41 is located near the upper end side of the first partition wall 14a described above. The stirring blade 32 of the stirring unit 30 is inserted into the spiral portion 41 of the heating unit 40 and is provided in the internal space of the first partition wall 14a. The heating unit 40 can generate a predetermined amount of heat by passing a predetermined current through the heating element.

[0059] The temperature setting unit 50 can set the hot water temperature to a predetermined temperature. The user can set the hot water temperature using the temperature setting unit 50 by pressing an operation unit 91 such as "+", "-", or ">" on the top surface 10e while looking at the temperature displayed on the display unit 90. Pressing the operation unit 91 generates a predetermined control signal, and the temperature setting unit 50 can set the hot water temperature according to the generated control signal. The top surface 91a of the operation unit 91 is configured as a touch panel, and the temperature can be set by pressing, i.e., touching, the operation.

[0060] The temperature detection unit 60 can detect the temperature of the hot water. The temperature detection unit 60 can be a predetermined temperature sensor. The temperature sensor can convert the measured temperature into an electrical signal and output it. The temperature sensor can be, for example, a contact type, and can include a thermistor, a thermocouple, a resistance temperature detector, etc.

[0061] The heating control unit 70 can control the output of the heating unit 40 based on the hot water temperature set by the temperature setting unit 50. More specifically, the heating control unit 70 can control the output of the heating unit 40 based on the difference between the hot water temperature set by the temperature setting unit 50 and the temperature detected by the temperature detection unit 60. Even more specifically, the heating control unit 70 can control the output of the heating unit 40 so as to eliminate the difference between the hot water temperature set by the temperature setting unit 50 and the temperature detected by the temperature detection unit 60. The heating control unit 70 can generate a predetermined control signal and output it to the heating unit 40, and supply a current to the heating unit 40 according to the control signal.

[0062] The time measurement unit 80 can measure the time it takes for the hot water to be heated by the heating unit 40. The time measurement unit 80 has a predetermined clock function.

[0063] The display unit 90 is provided on the top surface 10e side of the main body 10. The display unit 90 can display the temperature detected by the temperature detection unit 60 and the time measured by the time measurement unit 80, more specifically the boiling time. The display unit 90 can alternately display the detected temperature and the measured time at predetermined time intervals. The display unit 90 has a touch panel function and also functions as an input unit for the user to input the temperature to be set by the temperature setting unit 50. The user can input the temperature by touch operation while the temperature is displayed on the display unit 90.

[0064] A method of using the cooking device 1 configured as described above will be described below with reference to the flowchart in Fig. 16. That is, first, in step 1, a container 100 such as a pot is filled with water. Next, in step 2, in the case of a container 100 that does not contain a magnetic material, the attachment part 20 is fitted into the protrusion 10f of the main body 10 of the cooking device 1, and the main body 10 is attached to the upper edge part 101 of the container 100 via the attachment part 20 (in the case of a container 100 that contains a magnetic material, it is not necessary to attach the attachment part 20 to the main body 10). When the main body 10 is attached to the container 100, the outflow hole 13 is located at a position shifted to the right from the center 10B of the front side 10A, and is therefore positioned so as to face the right wall surface of the container 100. The mounting part 20 is fitted into the protrusion 10f at the center 10D of the back side 10C of the main body 10, so that the position and orientation of the main body 10 relative to the container 10 are fixed, and the outflow hole 13 can be reliably oriented in a direction shifted to the right from the center 10B of the front side 10A.

[0065] Next, in step 3, the user inputs a predetermined temperature via display unit 90. Next, in step 4, temperature setting unit 50 sets the temperature input by the user. Next, in step 5, heating control unit 70 controls the output of heating unit 40 so that the temperature of the hot water becomes the temperature set in step 4, while stirring blade 32 of stirring unit 30 ejects the hot water from outlet hole 13 to the outside of main body 10. Because outlet hole 13 is located to the right of center 10B of front side 10A, the hot water that flows out from outlet hole 13 is likely to collide with the right wall surface of container 100, as shown in FIG. 17, causing the flow to become turbulent and the water to easily mix.

[0066] In step 2, in the case of a container 100 containing a magnetic material, even when the main body 10 is made to stand on its own without the attachment portion 20, the position and orientation of the main body 10 can be positioned by abutting the convex portion 10f on the back side of the main body 10 against the inner surface of the container 100, and the outflow hole 13 can be reliably directed to a position shifted to the right side from the center 10B of the front side 10A.

[0067] As described above, according to the present invention, the above configuration allows the hot water temperature to be set by the temperature setting unit 50 while the output of the heating unit 40 is controlled based on the hot water temperature set by the heating control unit 70. This allows the hot water temperature to be controlled to a predetermined temperature.

[0068] Furthermore, since the main body 10 is provided with the magnet 11 on the bottom 10a, when the container 100 contains a magnetic material, it can be fixed so that it stands upright in a stable position. Furthermore, since the main body 10 has the attachment portion 20 for attaching the main body 10 to a predetermined container 100, the main body 10 can be attached to the predetermined container 100.

[0069] Furthermore, the main body 10 is provided with an inlet hole 12 for allowing hot water to flow from the outside of the main body 10 into the inside of the main body 10, and an outlet hole 13 for allowing hot water to flow from the inside of the main body 10 to the outside of the main body 10, so that hot water can flow into the inside of the main body 10 through the inlet hole 12 and can flow out to the outside of the main body 10 through the outlet hole 13.

[0070] Furthermore, since the inlet hole 12 is provided at a position above the outlet hole 13, hot water at the upper side, which has a relatively low temperature, can be introduced and heated, thereby improving the efficiency of heating the hot water.

[0071] Furthermore, since multiple inlet holes 12 are provided, the inflow pressure of the hot water can be dispersed. This reduces the risk of the main body 10 tipping over due to the inflow pressure, even when hot water is flowing in from an inlet hole 12 provided above the outlet hole 13.

[0072] Furthermore, the inflow hole 12 has a plurality of hole groups 12a' each having a plurality of holes 12a, and the plurality of hole groups 12a' are arranged in mutually symmetrical positions, so that the inflow pressure of the hot water can be further dispersed.

[0073] Furthermore, the size of each hole 12a constituting the inlet hole 12 is set smaller than the size of the outlet hole 13, which further reduces problems such as the main body 10 tipping over due to the inflow pressure of the inlet hole 12 located above.

[0074] Furthermore, the main body 10 is provided with the stirring portion 30 inside the main body 10 for stirring the hot water that flows in through the inlet hole 12, so that the hot water can be stirred in a predetermined manner.

[0075] Furthermore, in the partition wall 14, the first partition wall 14a covers the lateral side of the stirring blade 32 and has a predetermined height and is arc-shaped in a plan view, the second partition wall 14b extends in a strip-like shape with a predetermined height toward the outflow hole 13 so as to be continuous with one end 14a1 of the arc-shaped first partition wall 14a and to be in contact with the arc-shaped first partition wall 14a, and the third partition wall 14c has a shape symmetrical to the second partition wall 14b and is continuous with the other end 14a2 of the arc-shaped first partition wall 14a and to be in contact with the first partition wall The second partition wall 14b and the third partition wall 14c extend in a band-like shape with a predetermined height toward the outlet hole 13 so as to be tangent to the arc-shaped opening of the agitating blade 32. The second partition wall 14b and the third partition wall 14c extend in parallel, with the distance between them gradually narrowing from the agitating blade 32 toward the outlet hole 13. The hot water is discharged from the agitating blade through the arc-shaped opening, and the discharged hot water flows out of the main body through the outlet hole while being guided by the second partition wall and the third partition wall, thereby gradually narrowing the flow path of the hot water. As a result, the pressure of the hot water discharged from the agitating blade 32 is gradually increased by the second partition wall 14b and the third partition wall 14c, and the hot water flows out of the main body 10 at high pressure, thereby improving the mixing performance of the hot water.

[0076] Furthermore, the outflow hole 13 is located at the lower end of the main body 10, near the upper side of the magnet 11 provided on the bottom 10a, so that even when hot water is discharged outside the main body 10 at high pressure, problems such as the main body 10 tipping over can be reduced.

[0077] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and applications are possible within the scope of the claims.

[0078] For example, in the above-described embodiment, a temperature may be set in advance for each dish, ingredient, or mode, and the user may specify the dish, ingredient, or mode via display unit 90, and temperature setting unit 50 may set the water temperature according to the dish, ingredient, or mode specified by the user. Furthermore, the temperature set by temperature setting unit 50 is not limited to a single temperature, but may be set to change continuously over time as shown in Figure 18 or to change in stages as shown in Figure 19. A cooking technique in which the water temperature is changed in stages is particularly referred to as step cooking.

[0079] In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the outflow hole 13 is provided at a position shifted to the right from the center 10B of the front side 10A, but the required effect can also be achieved by providing the outflow hole 13 at a position shifted to the left from the center 10B of the front side 10A. That is, if the outflow hole 13 is provided at a position shifted to either the left or right from the center 10B of the front side 10A of the main body 10, the liquid will be more likely to collide with the wall surface of the container 100, causing the flow to become turbulent and easier to mix.

[0080] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the temperature of the hot water is set by the temperature setting unit 50 by pressing the operation unit 91 such as "+", "-", ">" on the upper surface 10e, but it may also be set by operating the operation unit 92 shown in Figure 20.

[0081] That is, in FIG. 20 , the upper end 10′ of the main body 10 includes an operating unit 92 for setting the hot water temperature using the temperature setting unit 50. The operating unit 92 is a short, cylindrical unit that rotates around a predetermined rotation axis 92a in a predetermined rotation direction 92b and can be pressed along the rotation axis 92a, allowing the hot water temperature to be set by rotating and pressing the operating unit 92. Rotating the operating unit 92 rotates the top surface 10e within its plane, changing the displayed menu 92c. Pressing the operating unit 92 allows the user to confirm the set temperature corresponding to the changed menu. The operating unit 92 is configured like a push button and is biased upward by a built-in spring. Therefore, when the operating unit 92 is pressed downward, it is depressed against the biasing force of the spring and locked at a predetermined depressed position. Furthermore, when the operating unit 92 is pressed further from the depressed state, it is released from its locked state and rises upward due to the biasing force of the spring.

[0082] In other words, while the operation of pressing the "+", "-", and ">" buttons using the operation unit 91 described above can be cumbersome and time-consuming, the operation unit 92 allows the user to quickly set the water temperature by rotating and pressing quickly. The cooking device set 200 of the present invention may also have a divider 110 as described below. 21 to 30, a given container 100 is provided with a partition 110 for dividing an inner space 100' of the container 100 into a plurality of spaces 100a', 100b'. The partition 110 has a partition member 111 for dividing the inner space 100' into a plurality of spaces 100a', 100b', and a plurality of holding members 120 for holding one end 111a and the other end 111b of the partition member 111 on the mutually opposing inner surfaces 100a, 100b of the container 100.

[0083] The partition member 111 is in the form of a rectangular fence or lattice (in the drawing, it is in the form of a rectangular fence). The plurality of holding members 120 are entirely made of silicon and include a first holding member 121 to a fourth holding member 124.

[0084] The first holding member 121 and the second holding member 122, and the third holding member 123 and the fourth holding member 124 are provided so as to face each other on the mutually facing inner surfaces 100a and 100b of the container 100. The first holding member 121 and the third holding member 123, and the second holding member 122 and the fourth holding member 124 are provided so as to be aligned in the front-to-rear direction. The first holding member 121 to the fourth holding member 124 are provided so as to be detachable from the container 100.

[0085] That is, the partition member 111 can divide the internal space 100' of the container 100 into a plurality of spaces 100a', 100b' by holding one end 111a and the other end 11b on the mutually opposing inner surfaces 100a, 100b of the container 100 via the first holding member 121 to the fourth holding member 124.

[0086] The first to fourth holding members 121 to 124 can be attached and detached by sliding them vertically on the inner surfaces 100a and 100b of the container 100. The first to fourth holding members 121 to 124 have elongated portions 121a to 124a that extend vertically and extending portions 121b to 124b that extend from upper ends 121a' to 124a' of the elongated portions 121a to 124a to the outside of the container 100. The elongated portions 121a to 124a and the extending portions 121b to 124b are plate-shaped.

[0087] The holding members 121 to 124 have elongated portions 121a to 124a that slide up and down on the inner surfaces 100a and 100b of the container 100, and can be locked to the upper edge 101 of the container 100 via the extending portions 121b to 124b.

[0088] The long portions 121a to 124a have recesses 121c to 124c on the inner surfaces 121a'' to 124a'' sides. The long portions 121a to 124a can hold one end 111a and the other end 111b of the partition member 111 in a sandwiching manner in the recesses 121c to 124c. That is, the recesses 121c to 124c have first front-rear recesses 121c1 to 124c1 extending in the front-rear direction. That is, the long portions 121a to 124a can be held so that one end 111a and the other end 111b of the partition member 111 are sandwiched between the first front-rear direction recesses 121c1 and 122c1 of the long portion 121a of the first holding member 121 and the long portion 122a of the second holding member 122, which face each other, and the first front-rear direction recesses 123c1 and 124c1 of the long portion 123a of the third holding member 123 and the long portion 124a of the fourth holding member 124. This partitions the inner space 100' of the container 100 transversely in the front-rear direction, and also divides the inner space 100' of the container 100 into a plurality of spaces 110a', 100b' in the vertical direction.

[0089] More specifically, the long portions 121a to 124a have a plurality of protrusions 121d1, 121d2 to 124d1, and 124d2 that protrude inward from the inner surfaces 121a" to 124a". The protrusions 121d1, 121d2 to 124d1, and 124d2 are plate-shaped and protrude inward. First front-rear recesses 121c1 to 124c1 are formed at narrow intervals between the protrusions 121d1 to 121d2 to 124d1 to 124d2 that are adjacent in the up-down direction.

[0090] More specifically, the convex portions 121d1, 121d2 to 124d1, 124d2 are arranged in a row in the vertical direction, and first front-rear recesses 121c1 to 124c1 are formed between the convex portions 121d1 to 121d2 to 124d1 to 124d2 adjacent to each other in the vertical direction.

[0091] More specifically, the plurality of vertically aligned protrusions 121d1, 121d2 to 124d1, 124d2 have first vertical protrusions 121d1 to 124d1 and second vertical protrusions 121d2 to 124d2 adjacent to each other. First front-rear recesses 121c1 to 124c1 are formed between the first vertical protrusions 121d1 to 124d1 and the second vertical protrusions 121d2 to 124d2.

[0092] Here, when the adjacent first vertical protrusions 121d1 to 124d1 and the adjacent second vertical protrusions 121d2 to 124d2 form a pair of vertical protrusions 121d to 124d, the pairs of vertical protrusions 121d to 124d are arranged vertically at a regular interval. Second longitudinal recesses 121c2 to 124c2 extending in the longitudinal direction are formed between the adjacent pairs of vertical protrusions 121d1 to 121d1 to 124d1 to 124d1. The spacing between the second longitudinal recesses 121c2 to 124c2 is set larger than the spacing between the first longitudinal recesses 121c1 to 124c1. The second longitudinal recesses 121c2 to 124c2 are configured to be able to fit into the pairs of vertical protrusions 121d to 124d of the opposing long portions 121a to 124a.

[0093] The long portion 121a of the first holding member 121, the long portion 122a of the second holding member 122, the long portion 123a of the third holding member 123, and the long portion 124a of the fourth holding member 124, which are arranged to face each other, are connected to each other at their lower ends 121a'' to 124a'''' via the first connecting portion 130.

[0094] Additionally, extending portion 121b of first holding member 121 and extending portion 123b of third holding member 123, and extending portion 122b of second holding member 122 and extending portion 124b of fourth holding member 124, which are adjacent in the front-rear direction, are mutually connected via second connecting portion 140. In other words, first holding member 121 to fourth holding member 124 are integrated via connecting portions 130, 140. Connecting portions 130, 140 are plate-shaped.

[0095] The long portions 121a to 124a and the extending portions 121b to 124b are configured to be mutually bendable via slits 150 provided at the boundaries between the long portions 121a to 124a and the extending portions 121b to 124b.

[0096] Furthermore, first connecting portion 130 is provided with a plurality of slits 160 extending in the front-rear direction in the longitudinal direction of first connecting portion 130, and is configured to be bendable via slits 160. Note that the depth h of slits 150, 160 is set to be smaller than the thickness t of long portions 121a to 124a, extending portions 121b to 124b, and first connecting portion 130, and is configured to be bendable while leaving thin portions.

[0097] Here, container 100 has a recessed locking portion 104 at its upper edge 101 that locks extension portions 121b to 124b and second connecting portion 140. Container 100 can be locked by fitting extension portions 121b to 124b and second connecting portion 140 into recessed locking portion 104. Container 100 is configured such that, when extension portions 121b to 124b and second connecting portion 140 are fitted into locking portion 104 and locked, extension portions 121b to 124b and second connecting portion 140 are flush with upper edge 101 of container 100.

[0098] The container 100 has a lid 107 for closing the upper edge 101 of the container 100, and by locking the extensions 121b to 124b with the locking portions 104 so that the extensions 121b to 124b are flush with the upper edge 101 of the container 100, it is possible to prevent rattling when the upper edge 101 of the container 100 is closed with the lid 107. This prevents a gap from being formed between the upper edge 101 of the container 100 and the lid 107, and prevents heat from dissipating through the gap.

[0099] The lid 107 is provided with a hole 107a for inserting the cooking appliance 1. The hole 107a is formed in a U-shape, and an elastically deformable material is provided at the upper edge 107a' that comes into contact with the side surface 1a of the cooking appliance 1. This prevents a gap from being formed between the side surface 1a of the cooking appliance 1 and the upper edge 107a' of the lid 107, thereby preventing heat from dissipating through the gap. The lid 107 is entirely made of polypropylene (PP), and the elastically deformable material provided at the upper edge 107a' is made of silicone.

[0100] The container 100 also has recesses 102a on the inner surfaces 100a and 100b of the side wall 102 into which the elongated portions 121a to 124a are fitted and held. The holding member 120 can slide up and down via the recesses 102a. The container 100 also has recesses (not shown) on the inner surface 100c of the bottom wall 103 into which the first connecting portion 130 is fitted and held. The container 100 can fix the position of the holding member 120 by the recesses 102a and the locking portion 104.

[0101] The container 100 is configured such that the inner surfaces 100a, 100b of the container 100 are tapered, and the spacing dimension between the inner surfaces 100a, 100b of the container 100 gradually decreases from the upper end 105 to the lower end 106. In other words, the height dimension of the main body 10 of the cooking device 1 is set within the range of the spacing dimension between the upper end 105 and the lower end 106 of the inner surfaces 100a, 100b of the container 100, and the upper end 10' and the lower end 10" of the main body 10 of the cooking device 1 can be stored on the inner surfaces 100a, 100b of the container 100 so as to be engaged.

[0102] In this way, when the main body 10 of the cooking device 1 is stored so that the upper end 10' and the lower end 10" are engaged with the inner surfaces 100a, 100b of the container 100, the main body 10 of the cooking device 1 can be hidden within the inner space 100' of the container 100. This allows the cooking device 1 to be stored in an attractive manner, and the container 100 can also be effectively used as a storage container.

[0103] As described above, according to the modified examples of Figures 21 to 30, a given container 100 has a partition 110 for dividing the inner space 100' of the container 100 into a plurality of spaces, and the partition 110 has a partition member 111 for dividing the space into a plurality of spaces and a plurality of holding members 112 for holding one end 111a and the other end 111b of the partition member 111 on the mutually opposing inner surfaces 100a, 100b of the container 100. Therefore, the inner space 100' of the container 100 can be divided into a plurality of spaces 100a', 100b' while the partition member 111 is held by the holding member 112.

[0104] Furthermore, the recesses 121c to 124c have first front-to-rear recesses 121c2 to 124c2 extending in the front-to-rear direction, and one end 111a and the other end 111b of the partition member 111 are held by the first front-to-rear recesses 121c1 to 124c1 of the long portions 121a to 124a of the first holding member 121 to fourth holding member 124 that face each other, thereby dividing the inner space 100' of the container 100 in the front-to-rear direction and dividing the inner space 100' of the container 100 into a plurality of spaces 100a', 100b' in the vertical direction, so that the inner space 100' of the container 100 can be divided into a plurality of spaces 100a', 100b' in the vertical direction.

[0105] Furthermore, pairs of vertical protrusions 121d to 124d are arranged in a row in the vertical direction, and second vertical recesses 121c2 to 124c2 extending in the vertical direction are formed between adjacent pairs of vertical protrusions 121d-121d to 124d-124d, and the second vertical recesses 121c2 to 124c2 are configured to be able to fit into the pairs of vertical protrusions 121d to 124d of the opposing long portions 121a to 124a.Therefore, the pairs of vertical protrusions 121d to 124d of the opposing long portions 121a to 124a can be fitted into the second vertical recesses 121c2 to 124c2, and the opposing holding members 121a, 121b and 121c, 121d can be stored as a single unit.

[0106] Furthermore, the long portions 121a to 121d of the holding members 121 to 124, which are arranged so as to face each other, are connected to each other at the lower ends 121a''' to 124a''' via the connecting portions 130, so that the holding members 121 to 124, which are arranged so as to face each other via the connecting portions 130, can be held as a single unit on the facing inner surfaces 100a', 100b' of the container 100.

[0107] Furthermore, the container 100 has a concave locking portion 104 on the upper end surface 102 that locks the extension portion 112b, and is configured so that the extension portion 112b is locked in the concave locking portion 104 and is flush with the upper end surface 102 of the container 100 when the extension portion 112b is locked in the locking portion 104, so that the extension portion 112b can be locked to the upper end surface 102 of the container 100 without any steps.

[0108] In addition, as shown in Figures 31 to 33, the holding members of the container 100 have recesses 121c to 124c that have front-to-back recesses 121c1, 121c2 to 124c1, 124c2, as well as vertical recesses 121c3 to 124c3 that extend in the vertical direction, and by holding one end 111a and the other end 111b of the partition member 111 with the vertical recesses 121c3 to 124c3 of the long portions 121a to 124a of the holding members 121 to 124 that face each other, the inner space 100' of the container 100 can be partitioned vertically and the inner space 100' of the container 100 can be divided into multiple spaces 100c', 100d' in the front-to-back direction.

[0109] In this case, the convex portions 121d1, 121d2 to 124d1, 124d2 are arranged in a row not only in the vertical direction but also in the front-to-rear direction, like convex portions 121d1′, 121d1″, 121d2′, 121d2″ to 124d1′, 124d1″, 124d2′, 124d2″, and vertical recesses 121c3 to 124c3 are formed between convex portions 121d1′ to 121d1″, 121d2′ to 121d2″ to 124d1′ to 124d1″, 124d2′ to 124d2″ adjacent to each other in the front-to-rear direction.
