Description

There are described a grill and a grill with such a grill, in which priority solid fuels such. As coal, can be burned. The grill is also suitable for use of other fuels, such. Gas. The grill has parallel and spaced apart grate elements for supporting food to be grilled and arranged parallel and spaced gutters. The grate elements and the gutters can be arranged so that they have a slope.

Such a grill is for example made DE 672 387 known. The grill has V-shaped gutters and semicircular grate elements.

The disadvantage is that the in DE 672 387 shown construction does not allow sufficient heat flow (air heat flow) to the grilled food. Due to the V-shaped design of the gutters only a slight heating of this is achieved, resulting in a low burning of run in the gutters fats. There is instead a heating of the grate elements, over which the grilling of Grillgut is achieved. A direct hot air flow through the gutters and the grate elements to the grill food is not possible.

It is therefore an object to provide a grill grate and a grill, wherein liquid of grilled food should not get into the grill, harmful substances are retained by fuels and still a direct hot air flow is provided.

The object is achieved by a grill with the in claim 1 and by a grill with the specified in claim 10 technical characteristics. Advantageous developments are specified in the dependent claims in detail.

• – sind die Rostelemente und die Ablaufrinnen miteinander verbunden,
• – weisen die Ablaufrinnen einen U-förmigen Querschnitt auf,
• – sind die Rostelemente im Auflagebereich mindestens abschnittsweise abgerundet, und
• – weisen die Rostelemente direkt unterhalb des Auflagebereichs mindestens eine Öffnung auf.

In a grill for a grill, which solves the above object and in which fuels are burned, comprising parallel and spaced apart grate elements for supporting food to be grilled and arranged in parallel and spaced gutters,

• The grate elements and the gutters are connected to each other,
• The gutters have a U-shaped cross-section,
• - The grate elements in the support area are at least partially rounded, and
• - Have the grate elements directly below the support area at least one opening.

In the grill according to the invention, the grate elements and the gutters are connected to each other, wherein the gutters have a U-shaped cross-section and the grate elements in the support area are at least partially rounded. The grate elements have at least one opening directly below the support area, whereby the heat produced during grilling passes directly to the food to be grilled and at the same time fat from the food to be grilled can not reach the burning area, such as the glowing coals. In addition, when released grilling released harmful substances and do not flow to the grill. The arrangement and design of the openings allows on the one hand a stream of hot air to the food to be grilled and prevents on the other hand that, for example, dripping fat from the food to be grilled into the combustion chamber.

The gutters and the grate elements can be arranged so that they have a slope. In particular, the grill can be arranged and stored in a grill so that the grill has a slope. A gradient can be achieved, for example, by feet or other elements having a mutually different height.

• – die sich ausgehend von den Auflagebereichen der Rostelemente nach außen in Richtung eines benachbarten Rostelements, oder
• – die sich ausgehend von unteren Schenkeln der Rostelemente nach innen erstrecken und eine Öffnung bereitstellen.

At the bearing areas of the grate elements can be arranged obliquely arranged deflecting elements,

• - Which, starting from the bearing areas of the grate elements to the outside in the direction of an adjacent grate element, or
• - Which extend from the lower legs of the grate elements inwards and provide an opening.

The deflecting elements can be formed by bending over portions of the legs of the grate elements, for which purpose, for example, at least one leg part of the leg is cut free and this part is bent around an edge still connected to the leg. In addition to cutting using specially designed tools, laser cutting can also be performed. In addition, other methods are known to introduce corresponding deflecting elements in the legs of the grate elements. In further embodiments, the deflecting elements can also be introduced or provided already in an upstream processing step. The grate elements are formed, for example, by bending metal strips. Before the metal strips are bent, it is possible to make a separation of areas for later provision of the deflection elements.

The baffles thus also openings in the grate elements are introduced, via which the resulting heat during grilling reaches a grill food. Depending on the design of the baffles, which are connected either via their upper edge or their lower edge to the grate elements, the baffles are bent either inwardly or outwardly. The Deflection elements are always designed such that liquids from the food to be grilled (eg fat, blood, etc.) do not get into the space surrounded by the grate elements and thus into the burning area. Rising hazardous substances do not reach the food to be grilled but can, for example, be deposited on the inside of the grate elements in the support area or on the deflecting elements. Inwardly bent baffles are therefore usually connected via their lower edge to the legs of the grate elements, outwardly bent baffles are usually connected via their upper edge with the legs of the grate elements.

In further embodiments, obliquely arranged deflecting elements can be provided on the legs of the U-shaped gutters as an alternative or in addition to the deflecting elements on the grate elements, which extend away from one another, starting from the legs of the U-shaped gutters.

The legs of the U-shaped gutters can be arranged substantially below edges of the support areas of the grate elements. This ensures that liquid from the food does not get into the burning area and harmful substances does not reach the food to be cooked. Would the legs of the U-shaped gutters spaced from the edges of the support areas, wherein the legs of the gutters orthogonal to the grill surface of the grill, formed by the bearing surfaces of the grate elements, exposed health-threatening substances could rise directly through the openings in the grate elements and the Get barbecue food. Likewise, liquids could get from the food to be cooked in the focal area. This would cause an upgrade of hazardous substances. In particular, fats that hit hot coals can release harmful substances. The formation and arrangement of the grate elements and the gutters according to the technical teaching described herein prevent this, since there is no direct way for liquids of the grill between the burning area and the grilling. Furthermore, the rise of hazardous substances of fuels is made more difficult.

The grate elements may have at least one opening on each side below the support areas.

In further embodiments, the grate elements have a multiplicity of openings on at least one side below the support area and / or at least one opening extending at least in sections over the length of the grate elements.

The grate elements and the gutters can, for example, be welded together.

The grate elements and the gutters can be connected to each other in yet other embodiments via connecting elements. Connecting elements may be, for example, pins, clips or other fasteners. But the connecting elements can also be strips, which preferably consist of the same material as the gutters and the grate elements.

Thus, in further embodiments, a downwardly directed leg of two adjacent grate elements can each be received in the drainage channels and the legs of the grate elements can be pressed against the legs of the U-shaped drainage channels via the connecting element. When assembling the grill each leg of two grate elements is placed in a gutter and then brought the connecting element in the gutter. The connecting element then presses the legs of the grate elements against the legs of the gutter and thus provides a secure connection. Depending on the selected dimensions and tolerances, this makes it possible to realize connections of different strengths. For example. It may be provided to release the connection by hand or by a tool (eg hammer), so that an easy cleaning of the gutters and the grate elements, an exchange of at least one gutter and / or a grate element and / or a size change the grill grate by adding and removing gutters and grate elements are possible.

In these embodiments, the connecting elements may, for example, extend essentially over the entire length of the grate elements and / or the drainage channels. The grate elements and the gutters can have the same length, wherein for the discharge of liquids in the gutters these often survive the length of the grate elements. For this purpose, the individual gutters can open into a collecting trough and / or into a collecting container for the liquids.

The gutters, the grate elements and / or the connecting elements may be made of stainless steel and / or cast iron. In further embodiments, the gutters, the grate elements and / or the connecting elements made of different materials. In addition, for example, the grate elements on the inside and the outside may have a coating. A coating can be formed by a special surface design and / or by introducing or applying certain substances. A coating on the inside of grate elements can, for example, a recording or a retention of cause harmful substances. A coating on the support area of the grate elements can, for example, prevent sticking of grilled food and support a drainage of liquids of the grilling material.

A grill according to the invention has a grill grate which is designed in accordance with the embodiments described above and shown in the figures.

The gutters may be longer than the grate elements in all of the variants described herein. The grill may have side walls, with one of the side walls having openings through which portions of the gutters protrude. Due to the gradient, the liquid runs down into the gutters and passes outwardly over the portions that pass through the openings. Below these sections may be arranged a collecting channel in which the liquids are collected. The collecting channel may additionally have a gradient. Below the collecting channel, a collecting container may be arranged. Due to the inclined arrangement of the collecting channel, the liquid flows from the collecting channel into the collecting container.

The side walls of the grill can be connected via plug connections. This makes it possible to quickly and easily assemble and disassemble the grill and to clean the ingredients of the grill. In addition, the side walls may have projections. The projections protrude in the direction of the grill grate and are received in the assembled state of the grill between the gutters and / or the grate elements.

Other features, advantages and design options will become apparent from the following description of the figures with reference to the figures.
