PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a continuous rice cooker for attaining excellent rice cooking by performing the improvement of heating efficiency and the reduction of a heating time, and also attaining the improvement of a work environment and the reduction of an internal air-conditioning load.SOLUTION: The continuous rice cooker includes: multiple surface combustion burner units which have rectangular burner heads, which are made of surface combustion members using heat-resistant metal fibers so as to burn whole primary air premixing gas in a red heat state, and are alternately arranged at a distance in a direction to be substantially orthogonally crossed with a rice cooking pot conveying direction by allowing the long sides of the rectangular burner heads to be substantially in parallel with the rice cooking pot conveying direction and vertical wall parts 215 arranged on both the sides of the rice cooking pot conveying direction. A tunnel shape heating chamber is formed in the rice cooking pot conveying direction by the surface combustion burner units, the vertical wall parts, and the bottom surface and side surfaces of the rice cooking pot. Openings 220 are arranged in the respective vertical wall parts arranged on the both sides. Exhaust gas inside the heating chamber is derived from the openings, so as to suppress the outflow of the exhaust gas from the carry-in port and carry-out port of the rice cooking pot.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】加熱効率の向上および加熱時間の短縮化を図り良好な炊飯を実現することができるとともに、作業環境の良化、室内の空調負荷を低減させる連続炊飯装置を提供する。【解決手段】耐熱金属繊維を使用した表面燃焼部材で全一次空気予混合ガスを赤熱状態で燃焼させる矩形状のバーナヘッドを有し、矩形状のバーナヘッドの長辺を前記炊飯釜の搬送方向に略平行として前記炊飯釜の搬送方向と略直交する方向に互いに間隔を設けて複数配置した表面燃焼バーナユニットと、炊飯釜の搬送方向の両サイドに設けた縦壁部215と、表面燃焼バーナユニット、縦壁部と炊飯釜の底面および側面部によりトンネル状の加熱室を前記炊飯釜の搬送方向に形成し、両サイドに設けた各々の縦壁部に開口220を設け、開口から加熱室内の排気ガスを導出させて炊飯釜の搬入開口、搬出開口からの排気ガスの流出を抑制するようにしたことを特徴とする連続炊飯装置。【選択図】図9
