â € œ AUTOMATIC ROAST TILTING SYSTEM WHEN COOKINGâ €

SUMMARY

The AUTOMATIC COOKING ROAST TILTING SYSTEM is composed, as shown in the schematic drawing on Page 5, of a mechanism consisting of:

crank (2), whose rotation, through the connecting rod (3), sets in motion the casing (1), which through the rack (5) and the gears (6 and 7), causes the rotation of the roast supports ( 8), in order to overturn all the roast supports at the same time.

The kinematics is such as to allow an overturning every half turn of the handle.

FIELD OF APPLICATION

The present invention relates to an automatic system for overturning roasts during cooking, as expressed in the main claim, hereinafter referred to as â € œTILTERâ €.

More in particular, the OVERTURNING DEVICE, due to its conformation, has characteristics such as to allow the cooking of roasts, in general and in particular kebabs, skewers, sausages, Wurstel, etc .. The particularity of the invention consists in the simultaneous overturning of the set of roasts positioned on the TIPPER.

STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE

To date, different roast overturning systems have been developed (patent no.

CN201505026U; patent n. CH662496A5; patent n. CN2867890; patent n.

KR20100090673 A).

The roast cooking system, therefore, is subject to continuous improvements,

but at present, there is no automatic system of simultaneous overturning in groups of 4 or 5 skewers, in order to have a cooking on two sides of the same without the need to rotate them on their axis.

Furthermore, the TIPPER is simple to make and does not require particular technologies for its construction and installation.

EXPOSURE OF THE FOUND

The present invention is expressed and characterized in the claim.

The purpose of the invention is to provide a TILTING UNIT capable of handling roasts with simultaneous overturning and with gradual accelerations, so

not to have shaking of the roasts during their overturning.

The TIPPER can be applied to various cooking systems: grilled, electric, gas, etc ..

In addition, the TIPPER in the case of cooking kebabs, skewers, sausages, Wurstel, etc. it allows them to be overturned in groups positioned on each roast holder.

The supports for roasts are interchangeable in order to adapt to the fixing of the various types of roasts.

The kinematic chain suitable for the realization of the motion is composed of a system

as illustrated in the schematic drawing on page 5 consisting of:

crank (2), whose rotation, through the connecting rod (3), sets in motion the casing (1), which through the rack (5) and the gears (6 and 7), causes the rotation of the roast supports ( 8) in order to perform the simultaneous overturning of all supports. The kinematics is such as to allow an overturning every half turn of the crank. The movement through the connecting rod-crank mechanism allows a harmonic motion of the roast-holder supports with minimum acceleration in correspondence with the dead points, corresponding to the end of overturning phases. The rack (5) is connected to the casing of the cooking system (4); the connecting rod (3) is hinged on it and, on the opposite side, is connected to the crank (2). The latter, in its rotation, moves the TILTING frame (1) on which it is installed, dragging the gear wheels (6), which, being engaged on the rack (5), are forced to rotate.

The return toothed wheels are in turn meshed with the respective overturning toothed wheels (7), then they make the latter rotate, dragging the roast supports constrained to them.

The kinematics are such as to make half rotation of the crank correspond to an overturning of the roast holder supports at the dead points of the connecting rod-crank system, as can be seen from Fig. (A) and Fìg. (C) of the drawing. Page 5

Furthermore, the displacement of the TILTING unit casing compensates for the translation of the roast holder support, so as to reposition itself close to the position occupied before the overturning in order to return to the previous position with respect to the radiant body of the cooking system.

The overturning of the roasts without rotation on their own axis also allows them to be better cooked while maintaining their softness, reproducing the manual gesture of the classic cooking of kebabs.

The TIPPING system can be equipped with an electric motor controlled by a timer which controls the automatic tip after a settable time.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The drawing on page 5 represents an operating diagram of the TIPPER in the configuration with n ° 6 roast holder supports, but the number of these supports may vary according to the dimensions of the cooking system on which the TIPPER will be applied.

Figure (A) represents the starting position of the system, corresponding to the top dead center of the connecting rod-crank system (minimum acceleration of the casing); the following components are numbered on this figure:

TIPPER housing (1), Crank (2), Connecting rod (3), Cooking system housing (4), Rack (5), Return wheel (6), Overturning wheel (7), Support for roasts (8) . Figure (B) shows the TIPPER in motion; it can be seen how a rotation of the crank (2) corresponds to a translation of the casing (1), with consequent rotation of the toothed wheels (6), constrained to the casing (I) and meshed with the rack (S), which It is attached to the cooking system housing (4). Furthermore, the toothed wheels (6) mesh with the toothed wheels (7) which, in turn, are forced to rotate, dragging the relative roast holder supports (8) fastened to them.

Fig. (C) shows the TIPPER in the overturned position, corresponding to the lower dead center of the connecting rod-crank system.

Fig. (D) shows the TIPPER in motion in the subsequent tipping.

The Section EE shows an example of a side section in the overturning phase, where a series of skewers (9) are mounted.

The Section FF shows an example of a side section during cooking, where a series of skewers (9) are mounted.
