Description

Cooking equipment and modular smoking and roasting device thereof

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of kitchen electrical equipment, in particular to cooking equipment and a modular smoking and baking device thereof.

Background

With the overall development of technologies related to the field of home appliances, home appliances have been developed in both the richness and refinement. As one of home appliances, electric cooking appliances are mainly cooking appliances for preserving, processing, and the like food materials, and with the development of enrichment and refinement, for example, in addition to a conventional gas range, a refrigerator, a microwave oven, and the like, specific forms corresponding to various cooking modes such as steaming, baking, frying, air-frying, and the like are emerging.

As one of cooking devices, a hot air oven has an operating principle that cooking of food materials is realized by circulating hot air flow. Specifically, along with the circulating flow of hot air in the inner container where the food to be cooked is located, when the hot air flows through the food, the heat carried in the hot air can be transferred to the surface of the food, and the food can be processed in a hot air baking cooking mode by correspondingly controlling parameters such as the flow rate, the temperature and the like of the hot air. Wherein, when the food is meat, there is an auxiliary processing mode after the baking is finished: after the food materials are processed by the hot air oven and taken out, flavor seasonings (such as sauce brushing, material scattering and the like) are added to the surfaces of the food materials so as to improve the mouthfeel of the food materials. However, such a processing method has problems as follows: because the food materials are cooked after being processed and taken out, the flavor seasoning corresponding to the auxiliary treatment is difficult to permeate into the meat, and especially for single large-scale food materials such as whole chicken and whole fish, the improvement degree of the taste of the whole food materials by the auxiliary treatment is very limited.

As an improvement, as disclosed in chinese utility model patent (CN209826361U), a smokeless oven with smoking function includes a box body, a smoking box is arranged inside the box body, an air intake component and a smoke exhaust component are arranged on the wall of the box body, and both the air intake component and the smoke exhaust component are communicated with the outside and the inside of the box body; a filter is arranged in the smoke exhaust assembly.

It can be seen that in this document, the smoking cartridge is supplied with aerobic air through the air intake assembly of the oven, so that the fuel in the smoking cartridge is continuously maintained in a semi-combusted state capable of generating smoke. Based on the method, the food can be baked by introducing the smoking cooking mode into the oven, and compared with the mode of baking by directly adopting hot air flow, the baked food has lasting and internal and external smoking flavor. However, since the smoke flavor is determined by the fuel property in the smoke box, the smoke method has the following problems: the fumigating smell is single. In addition, the smoking box serves as a smoke generating mechanism, and the core function of the smoking box is embodied as that a direct heat source for cooking is generated by means of an air inlet assembly of the oven, so that in order to ensure the cooking effect, a smoke quality-hot air flow quality associated control mechanism which is strictly matched with the cooking requirement of food materials needs to be made.

Accordingly, there is a need in the art for a new solution to the above problems.

Disclosure of Invention

Technical problem

The present invention has been made to solve at least some of the above-mentioned problems, and more particularly, to solve at least some of the above-mentioned problems to at least some extent.

Technical scheme

In view of the above, a first aspect of the present invention provides a modular smoke curing device of a cooking apparatus, the cooking apparatus comprising a cooking body having a cooking chamber, the smoke curing device being disposed in the cooking chamber, the smoke curing device comprising a plurality of smoke curing modules, the smoke curing modules comprising: a smoking part, wherein a containing space for placing smoking materials is formed in the smoking part; and a heating part which can give out heat to the smoking material so that the smoking material can emit the fragrance by means of the heat; the smoking and roasting device is further provided with a communicating part, and the fragrance emitted by the smoking material can be distributed to the food materials to be cooked in the cooking cavity through the communicating part.

With such an arrangement, an auxiliary cooking effect of adding a smoked flavor to the food to be cooked can be achieved.

Specifically, during cooking in which the cooking device performs main cooking on food to be cooked, the smoke is heated by the heating portion to emit smoke flavor, so that an auxiliary cooking effect is added to the main cooking. Since the smoking device is only used as an auxiliary cooking mechanism, which is not necessarily related to the core function of the cooking device, a control mechanism strongly related to the heat medium of the main cooking is not required to be established.

On the basis, the operation parameters (such as heating intensity, total heating time, heating origin and destination) of the heating part are adjusted, so that the incense can be distributed to the food to be cooked in an expected manner. On the basis, when the food to be cooked is cooked, the aroma can better meet the taste of the food on the premise that the food to be cooked can be added with the aroma. For example, the aroma is more tasty than applying sauce after the food is taken out; and the like.

It should be noted that the dispensing of "the aroma emitted by the smoke is capable of being dispensed to the food material to be cooked" may include various forms, such as direct dispensing or indirect dispensing, which may be achieved through different dispensing paths. On the basis of this, the form of the communicating portion may also be diversified accordingly, as one or more communicating structures may be included, and the structural form, arrangement orientation, and the like of the communicating structure may be flexibly determined. For example, if the food material to be cooked is located above the grilling device, the dispensing path includes three types, the first type is directly dispensed by a vertically upward dispensing path (e.g., the communicating portion is disposed directly above the smoking portion), the second type is directly dispensed by an obliquely upward dispensing path (e.g., the communicating portion is disposed on the side portion of the smoking portion), and the third type is indirectly dispensed by a curved path (e.g., after the aroma is dispensed, the aroma flows out of the cooking chamber where the food material to be cooked is located along with the hot air flow in the hot air oven, and the hot air flow is heated by the heating pipe of the hot air oven and then is fed into the cooking chamber where the food material is located again); and the like.

It can be understood that, on the premise of ensuring that the smoking material can receive the heat emitted by the smoking material, the specific forms of the smoking material part and the heating part, the position relationship between the two parts and the like can be determined by those skilled in the art according to the actual situation.

A heating coil 23 is also provided in the hot blast chamber at a position corresponding to the return air opening, such as a fan provided in an area encircled by the heating coil. In this way, under the action of the fan, air in the inner container flows through the air return opening and is sucked into the hot air chamber, then the air is heated by the heating coil pipe and is converted into hot air flow carrying heat, and then the hot air flow is thrown to the peripheral air supply opening and is sent into the inner container again. By such circulation, the hot air flow can continuously distribute the air carrying heat to the surface of the food material to be cooked, thereby realizing the main cooking function.

In the present embodiment, the air return opening 211 is substantially a disk-shaped area formed by grid holes, and the air supply opening 212 includes a plurality of air supply points, for example, the air supply points are substantially bar-shaped holes. Illustratively, the fan guard includes a plate portion and a flange extending from the plate portion in a direction adjacent to the back plate 11, the back plate, the flange and the plate portion thereby forming the hot air chamber. The air supply points comprise a plurality of air supply points arranged on the turned-over edge and three groups arranged on the plate-shaped structure from top to bottom, and each group comprises a small group which is symmetrically arranged on the two sides of the first air return opening in a left-right mode. The number of the air supply points included in each group is gradually reduced from top to bottom. Specifically, the upper group comprises small groups which are symmetrically arranged and are composed of 8 air supply points, wherein the left side and the right side of the small groups are respectively arranged at two sides of the first air return opening. The middle group includes 3 and the lower group includes 2. Obviously, the specific configuration of the air supply outlet is just a specific example, and those skilled in the art can flexibly adjust the configuration according to actual needs.

In a possible embodiment, the smoking and roasting device comprises a plurality of smoking and roasting modules 3, and the smoking and roasting modules 3 mainly comprise a smoking part, a heating part, a collecting part and a communicating part. Wherein, can place one or more stacte in the stacte portion, heating portion mainly used heats the stacte and makes it reach the temperature state that can give off stacte, and collecting portion mainly used collects the relevant things such as the oil stain in the position of the edible material that comes from waiting to cook, and the intercommunication portion mainly used makes stacte reach the edible material department of waiting to cook, in this embodiment, the intercommunication portion includes first intercommunication unit and second intercommunication unit.

In a specific embodiment, the smoking portion comprises a circular truncated cone-shaped housing 31 (the area of the lower bottom surface is larger than that of the upper bottom surface), a containing space is formed in the housing, the containing space comprises a first part and a second part (such as a fixedly connected or integrally formed structure) which are arranged from bottom to top, the smoking material 32 is placed on the first part below, and the second part above forms a smoke collecting cavity. The side wall of the housing is uniformly distributed along its circumferential direction at a position corresponding to the upper second portion with a plurality of communication hole groups 341 as first communication units, each of which includes a plurality of communication small holes provided in a concentrated manner.

In this embodiment, the number of the smoking modules includes three and is integrated in a manner of being stacked in the vertical direction. The lower bottom surface of the upper smoking module is substantially the same as the upper bottom surface of the lower smoking module, so that the first communication units corresponding to the respective smoking modules can smoothly discharge smoke in the case of constituting the integrated smoking device. Namely: each layer of smoking and roasting module can independently complete the smoking and roasting function corresponding to the smoking flavor. Corresponding to the compound mode of superpose, the smoking and roasting module between the layer can be through reasonable cooperation mode, exemplarily, if the design has the modularization interface of connecting each other with the mode of joint each other (if the last bottom surface of the smoking and roasting module of below is provided with the arch, the lower bottom surface of the smoking and roasting module of top sets up in the recess with it looks adaptation), can conveniently connect and dismantle, according to the different flavor demands of user experience, can once put into smoking material cigarette case with different flavor smoking materials, can carry out different flavor smoking and roasting in the baking and roasting process.

Exemplarily, the placement mode of the smoking materials in the shell is specifically as follows: the smoking material base body (solid structure) 33 is arranged in the position corresponding to the first part in the shell, a plurality of subspaces 331 are formed in the smoking material base body, as in the embodiment, the structural form of the subspaces is a strip-shaped groove, the strip-shaped grooves are arranged along the circumferential array of the smoking material base body, the smoking materials can be placed in each groove, and the types of the smoking materials placed in the grooves can be the same or different. From top to bottom, the number of the elongated slots included in the roasting module is increased in turn, for example, 6, 8 and 12 slots, respectively.

It is understood that the placement of the smoking material in the casing is only an exemplary description, and those skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific form, number, arrangement, etc. of the sub-spaces according to the actual situation, and the different sub-spaces may be the same or different. For example, a circular groove can be added in the middle of the smoking material matrix.

In a specific embodiment, the heating part comprises a heating pipe 35, which is embedded at the bottom of the smoking material base body, so that the smoking material can emit corresponding smoking flavor by means of the heat generated by the heating pipe.

It is understood that a heating pipe is only an exemplary configuration of the heating unit, and that a person skilled in the art may adapt it according to the actual requirements. Such as may be: the smoking material base of the smoking module comprises two parts which are insulated from each other, and each part is provided with a heating pipe.

Based on this, it is possible to correspond to two sections, divide the plurality of tanks into two sections, and place different smoking materials (e.g., denoted smoking material a and smoking material B) in the two sections, respectively. In this way, the food material to be cooked can be given a smoke flavour of a first quality produced by smoke A, a smoke flavour of a second quality produced by smoke B and a plurality of mixed qualities produced by smoke A and B in proportion.

In a specific embodiment, the collecting part comprises three collecting units 36 corresponding to the smoking modules one by one, the collecting units comprise annular flaky collecting bodies surrounding the periphery of the shell, and the collecting bodies are recessed downwards from outside to inside along the circumferential direction of the collecting bodies, so that oil stains can be timely guided to the position of the radial inner side. The annular separation blade is arranged at the position close to the radial inner side of the collecting main body, and the position of the collecting main body close to the middle part and the annular separation blade form an annular groove capable of containing related objects. In this way, oil stains and the like precipitated from the food material to be cooked during cooking can be timely collected into the annular groove, so that cleanliness during cooking is ensured. Preferably, the collecting body and the ring-shaped blocking piece are integrally formed and are removably sleeved on the outer side of the shell 31. Thus, oil stains and the like contained in the annular groove can be cleaned flexibly.

In a possible embodiment, the collecting unit is also arranged in the second part of the housing above the first communication unit. Through such setting, collect the main part when collecting relevant thing such as oil stain, thereby can also prevent effectively that relevant thing such as oil stain from falling into first communicating element and influencing the giving off of smoked fragrant smell. In concert, the first communicating unit is formed by the communicating hole group consisting of the plurality of communicating small holes, so that the relevant objects such as block-shaped solid objects can be further effectively prevented from falling into the accommodating space through the first communicating unit. On the basis, a second communicating unit can be arranged on the collecting main body in the shape of a ring sheet, for example, the second communicating unit comprises a plurality of large communicating big holes 342, and the number and the arrangement position of the large communicating holes correspond to the communicating hole group formed by the plurality of small communicating holes which are arranged in a concentrated manner.

In this way, the (first and second) communicating units form a communicating part in a combined manner, and the incense emitted by the smoking material can be distributed to the food to be cooked through the communicating hole group and the communicating big hole based on the communicating part in the combined manner. Such as may be: carry with smoked fragrant smell's flue gas and send to the inner bag after through first intercommunication unit from collection smoke cavity, divide into two parts, wherein: a part of smoke (such as the discharge direction of the smoke is close to the horizontal direction or the direction of the smoke downwards in an inclined way) does not pass through the position corresponding to the collecting main body, so that the smoke can be freely diffused and diffused to the inner container and finally reach the food to be cooked; another part (for example, the discharge direction of the smoke is inclined upwards and close to the vertical direction) will pass through the position corresponding to the collecting main body, at the moment, at least one part of the smoke can reach the inner container diffused and diffused by the second communicating unit and finally reach the food to be cooked.

It is to be understood that the above-mentioned communicating portion is only an exemplary description, and those skilled in the art can flexibly adjust the communicating portion according to the actual situation, such as changing the communicating hole group to one communicating hole, omitting the second communicating unit, or changing the second communicating unit to one or more annular holes, etc.

In one possible embodiment, the smoking device is configured with a hood 37, which, as in the present example, is a lid-like structure configured at the top of the smoking device (i.e., the top of the uppermost smoking module). Thus, during cooking of the food material to be cooked, the dripping of the relevant matter such as oil stain on the main structure of the smoking device can be avoided.

It can be seen that, in the oven of the present invention, by the configuration of the smoking and roasting device, while the food to be cooked contained in the inner container of the oven is cooked by hot air roasting, the smoking flavor emitted by a plurality of smoking materials for the food to be cooked can be obtained while the roasting function of the common meat is maintained. The obtaining of a plurality of smoking flavors can be realized by different smoking modules, and also can be realized by placing different smoking materials in the same smoking module. Such application scenarios exist as: open, shared cooking processes with social attributes require ovens with cooking capabilities that provide multiple flavors.
