Abstract

A barbecue grill includes a lid, and a temperature detection device mounted on the lid. The temperature detection device includes a movable plate, a control handle, and a temperature detector. Thus, the temperature probe of the temperature detector is extended into the inside of the lid to detect the temperature in the inside of the lid so as to facilitate a user monitoring the temperature in the inside of the lid, thereby preventing the food contained in the lid from being broiled too excessively.

Description

4 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a barbecue grill, and more 6 particularly to a barbecue grill having a temperature detection function.
7 2. Description of the Related Art 8 A conventional barbecue grill is used to broil food and comprises a 9 main body, a cooking grid mounted in the main body, and a lid pivotally mounted on the main body. Thus, when the lid covers the main body, the lid I I and the main body form a closed space to facilitate the cooking grid broiling 12 and cooking the food. However, the user cannot detect the temperature inside 13 of the main body and the lid, so that he has to remove the lid from the main 14 body frequently so as to check if the food has been cooked already, thereby I S causing inconvenience to the user, and thereby decreasing the broiling and 16 cooking efficiency of the barbecue grill.

18 The present invention is to mitigate and/or obviate the disadvantage 19 of the conventional barbecue grill.
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a 21 barbecue grill having a temperature detection and regulationfunction.
i I Another objective of the present invention is to provide a barbecue 2 grill, wherein the temperature probe of the temperature detector is extended 3 into the inside of the lid to detect the temperature in the inside of the lid so as to 4 facilitate a user monitoring the temperature in the inside of the lid, thereby preventing the food contained in the lid from being broiled too excessively.
6 A further objective of the present invention is to provide a barbecue 7 grill, wherein each of the air vents of the movable plate is movable to align 8 with a respective one of the air vents of the lid partially or completely to 9 change the air flow rate of the air vents of the lid so as to regulate the temperature in the inside of the lid.
I I A further objective of the present invention is to provide a barbecue 12 grill, wherein each of the air vents of the movable plate is movable to separate 13 from a respective one of the air vents of the lid so as to close the air vents of the 14 lid completely to produce an air seal effect, thereby increasing the temperature in the lid rapidly.
16 In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a 17 barbecue grill, comprising a lid, and a temperature detection device mounted 18 on the lid, wherein:
19 the lid has a top face;
the temperature detection device includes a movable plate movably 21 mounted on an inner side of the top face of the lid, a control handle movably 22 mounted on an outer side of the top face of the lid and connected to the 1 movable plate for moving the movable plate, and a temperature detector 2 mounted on the control handle and having a temperature probe extended into 3 an inside of the lid.
4 Further benefits and advantages of the present invention will become apparent after a careful reading of the detailed description with appropriate 6 reference to the accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

1 Referring to the drawings and initially to Figs. 1-5, a barbecue grill in 2 accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises 3 a lid 30, and a temperature detection device 30 mounted on the lid 30.
4 The lid 30 has a top face formed with a plurality of air vents 31, an elongated guide slot 34 and a slide slot 33. The top face of the lid 30 has a 6 mediate portion formed with a substantially arc-shaped slide block 32 7 extending downward therefrom.
8 The temperature detection device 30 includes a movable plate 11 9 movably mounted on an inner side of the top face of the lid 30, a control handle l0 20 movably mounted on an outer side of the top face of the lid 30 and 11 connected to the movable plate 11 for moving the movable plate 11, and a 12 temperature detector 25 mounted on the control handle 20 and having a 13 temperature probe 26 extended through the control handle 20, the movable 14 plate 11 and the top face of the lid 30 and extended into an inside of the lid 30.
The control handle 20 of the temperature detection device 30 has an 16 inside formed with a mounting hole 22 for mounting the temperature detector 17 25 and has a side formed with a locking groove 21.
18 The movable plate 11 of the temperature detection device 30 is 19 formed with a plurality of air vents 12 each movable to align with a respective one of the air vents 31 of the lid 30. The movable plate 11 of the temperature 21 detection device 30 has a distal end formed with an upward bent locking piece 22 13 extended through the slide slot 33 of the lid 30 and locked in the locking 1 groove 21 of the control handle 20 so that the control handle 20 is secured to 2 the movable plate 11. Preferably, the locking piece 13 of the movable plate 3 is movably mounted in the slide slot 33 of the lid 30. The distal end of the 4 movable plate 11 is formed with a through hole 14, and the temperature probe 26 of the temperature detector 25 is extended through the through hole 14 of 6 the movable plate 11 and movably mounted in the guide slot 34 of the lid 30.
7 The movable plate 11 of the temperature detection device 30 has a 8 mediate portion formed with a substantially arc-shaped slideway 15 to receive 9 the slide block 32 of the lid 30 so that the slide block 32 of the lid 30 is slidable in the slideway 15 of the movable plate 11 when the movable plate 11 is 11 movable relative to the lid 30. The temperature detection device 30 further 12 includes a locking screw 16 extended through the slide block 32 of the lid 13 and the slideway 15 of the movable plate 11 and rested on the lid 30, and a 14 locking nut 160 screwed onto the locking screw 16 and rested on the movable plate 11 to attach the movable plate 11 to the lid 30.
16 As shown in Fig. 4, the temperature probe 26 of the temperature 17 detector 25 is extended into the inside of the lid 30 to detect the temperature in 18 the inside of the lid 30 so as to facilitate a user monitoring the temperature in 19 the inside of the lid 30, thereby preventing the food contained in the lid 30 from being broiled too excessively.
21 As shown in Fig. 5, when the control handle 20 is driven by the user 22 to move the movable plate 11, the movable plate 11 is movable relative to the s 1 lid 30 so that each of the air vents 12 of the movable plate 11 aligns with a 2 respective one of the air vents 31 of the lid 30 partially or completely so as to 3 open the air vents 31 of the lid 30 partially or completely, thereby enhancing 4 the ventilating effect of the lid 30.
As shown in Fig. 6, when the control handle 20 is driven by the user 6 to move the movable plate 11, the movable plate 11 is movable relative to the 7 lid 30 so that each of the air vents 12 of the movable plate 11 is separated from 8 a respective one of the air vents 31 of the lid 30 so as to close the air vents 31 of 9 the lid 30 completely to produce an air seal effect, thereby increasing the temperature in the lid 30 rapidly.
11 Accordingly, the temperature probe 26 of the temperature detector 25 12 is extended into the inside of the lid 30 to detect the temperature in the inside of 13 the lid 30 so as to facilitate a user monitoring the temperature in the inside of 14 the lid 30, thereby preventing the food contained in the lid 30 from being I S broiled too excessively. In addition, each of the air vents 12 of the movable 16 plate 11 is movable to align with a respective one of the air vents 31 of the lid 17 30 partially or completely to change the air flow rate of the air vents 31 of the 18 lid 30 so as to regulate the temperature in the inside of the lid 30.
Further, each 19 of the air vents 12 of the movable plate 11 is movable to separate from a respective one of the air vents 31 of the lid 30 so as to close the air vents 31 of 21 the lid 30 completely to produce an air seal effect, thereby increasing the 22 temperature in the lid 30 rapidly.

1 Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred 2 embodiments) as mentioned above, it is to be understood that many other 3 possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the 4 scope of the present invention. It is, therefore, contemplated that the appended claim or claims will cover such modifications and variations that fall within the 6 true scope of the invention.
