Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To protect a memory card, where cooking data such as each kind of cooking menus and cooking time, etc., geared to the cooking menu are stored, and a holder for holding the memory card, from liquid or the like. SOLUTION: There are an abutment part 5 which abuts on an operation panel 1, and, below it, a wall 7 which forms a groove 6, at a cover 4, and the projection 2 of the operation panel 1 and the wall 7 of the cover 4 engage with each other, and the cover 4 is fixed to the operation panel 1. At this time, the operation panel 1 and the abutment part 5 of the cover 4 stick fast to each other, which prevents liquid such as water, detergent liquid, etc., from penetrating into it, thus this cooker can protect the memory card 10 and the holder 11 from the liquid. Moreover, even if slight liquid penetrates it, the groove 6 in the cover 4 can check the penetration of the liquid, so this can protect the memory card 10 and the holder 11.

A cooking device using a memory card capable of storing cooking information from a personal computer into a memory card or using a memory card in which cooking information is stored in advance is being used.

[0003] This memory card is inserted and fixed at a predetermined position on an operation panel of a cooking device, and each time a memory card is inserted or removed, a cover for closing the memory card insertion portion is protected with a screw to protect the memory card. It is configured to be fixed.

[0004] In some cases, convenience is emphasized by leaving the memory card insertion portion open without a cover.

[0005]

However, in the above-described conventional configuration, the lid must be fixed with screws to close the memory card insertion portion every time the memory card is inserted or removed, which is inconvenient. . In addition, a configuration in which a lid or a screw is eliminated or a configuration without a lid has a problem that a memory card cannot be protected from a liquid such as water.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and simplifies the fixing of a cover for closing a memory card insertion portion, and when the operation panel becomes dirty, cleans the operation panel with a cloth soaked with water or detergent. The memory card from various liquids, such as wiping the surface of the product, or spraying a detergent solution directly on the surface of the operation panel and then wiping it with a cloth. And to protect the holder that holds it.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an input means for inputting cooking data such as a cooking menu and a cooking time, various cooking menus, and a cooking time suitable for the cooking menu. A memory card storing the cooking data, a holder for holding the memory card, an operation panel to which the holder is attached, and a cover for protecting the memory card and the holder attached to the operation panel. is there.

As a result, the holder attached to the operation panel and the memory card inserted into the holder are hermetically sealed by the operation panel and the cover.

[0009]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The invention according to claim 1 is an input means for inputting cooking data such as a cooking menu and a cooking time, various cooking menus and cooking such as a cooking time suitable for the cooking menu. A memory card storing data, a holder for holding the memory card, an operation panel to which the holder is attached, and a cover for protecting the memory card and the holder, the holder and the holder The memory card inserted and fixed in the can be protected by the operation panel and cover.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the cover has a shape comprising a contact portion that contacts the operation panel, a groove provided near the contact portion, and a notch hole that is a fulcrum for rotation. This can prevent liquid from entering at the contact portion between the cover and the operation panel. Further, even if a small amount of liquid enters, it can be prevented from entering by the groove of the cover.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the cover is attached to the operation panel by engaging a hole serving as a fulcrum with a support shaft provided on the operation panel, and the cover and the wall forming the groove. The holder provided on the operation panel can be hermetically sealed by engaging with the projection provided on the operation panel.

[0012]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

(Embodiment 1) FIG. 1 is a sectional view of an operation panel of a heating cooker according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, an operation panel 1 has a projection 2 and a support shaft 3, and has a holder 11 attached thereto. The support shaft 3 and the notch 8 of the cover 4 are engaged with each other, and the cover 4 is attached to the operation panel 1. The notch 8 has a slit 9 so that the cover 4 can be easily attached to the operation panel 1.
The cover 4 is provided with a contact portion 5 that contacts the operation panel 1 and a wall 7 that forms a groove 6. The memory card 10 is inserted into the holder 11. In the memory card 10,
Various kinds of cooking menus and cooking data such as cooking time suitable for the cooking menus are stored.

FIG. 2 is a front view of the operation panel 1. The operation panel 1 has a display tube section 13 for displaying a cooking menu, a lapse of cooking time, and the like, and an opening section below the display tube section 13 for inserting a memory card 10, and a cover 4 for closing the opening section. A selection key 16 for selecting a cooking menu, a determination key 17 for determining a selected cooking menu, and a key 1 for returning to the previous cooking menu are displayed on the sheet 12.
8. Start key 1 to start warming and cooking food
5. There are various menu keys in a portion 19 surrounded by a dotted line.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the cover 4. Cover 4
Has a contact portion 5 which contacts the operation panel 1 and a groove 6 thereunder.
Is formed, and further, on both lower sides thereof, there is a notch hole 8 which engages with the support shaft 3 of the operation panel 1, and the notch hole 8 is provided with a slit portion 9.

FIG. 4 is an external view of the heating device. The operation panel 1 has a display tube section 13, a cover 4 attached thereto, and a sheet 12 attached thereto.

The operation and operation of the heating device configured as described above will be described below.

By opening the cover 4 and inserting and fixing the memory card 10 to the holder 11 attached to the operation panel 1, cooking data such as a cooking menu and cooking time of the memory card 10 is displayed on the display tube section 13. So
