Description

  The present invention mainly relates to a grill device for grilling fish and a cooking device equipped with the grill device.

  In recent years, many grill apparatuses that can bake both sides of an object to be cooked such as fish without taking the trouble of turning the object to be cooked are used. Such a grill apparatus generally includes an openable / closable door and a grill box for taking in and out an object to be cooked, and the grill box includes a grill pan detachably attached to the door, A cooking grille for placing an object on top, and an upper grill heater and a lower grill heater provided above and below are arranged in such a manner as to sandwich the cooking cake. The door and the grill box constitute a high temperature roasting chamber. At this time, the upper grill heater and the lower grill heater are fixed to the grill box by fixing brackets for fixing them.

When cooking an object to be cooked with the grill apparatus as described above, a structure that holds the upper grill heater and the lower grill heater accurately at predetermined positions and intervals is important in order to prevent unevenness of the baking condition. It is.
In the conventional grill apparatus, the upper grill heater is usually fixed to the upper surface of the grill box, and the lower grill heater is fixed to the side surface of the grill box. However, in such a configuration, even if each of the grill heaters can be fixed at a predetermined position, the interval between the upper grill heater and the lower grill heater cannot be kept accurately constant.

Further, when cleaning the grill device, it is very inconvenient to remove the door from the grill box and clean the inner surface of the grill box by putting a hand or a cleaning tool inside the grill box.
Therefore, a grill partition member that covers the inner surface of the grill box and prevents direct adhesion of dirt to the inner surface of the grill box is detachably provided on the inner side of the grill box. A grill device has been proposed that can be easily cleaned and maintained by removing and cleaning the grill partition member and mounting the grill partition member on the grill box after completion of cleaning (see, for example, Patent Document 1). .

An example of a grill box provided in the conventional grill device as described above is shown in FIGS.
11 is an exploded view of the conventional grill box 2e, FIG. 12 is a longitudinal sectional view of the conventional grill box 2e, and FIG. 13 is a transverse sectional view of the conventional grill box 2e.
The grill box 2e accommodates an upper grill heater 3 and a lower grill heater 4, and the upper grill heater 3 is fixed to a predetermined position on the upper wall 15 of the grill box 2e by a fixture 8a. 4 is fixed at predetermined positions on the left and right side walls 16 and 17 of the grill box 2e by fixing brackets 8b and 8c.
The door 5 of the grill box 2e, the grill pan 6, and the cooking bowl 7 on which the food is to be placed are configured to be detachable from the grill box 2e. When mounted on the box 2e, it is located between the upper grill heater 3 and the lower grill heater 4.
A grill partition member 9e is provided inside the grill box 2e. As described above, the grill partition member 9e serves as an inner wall of the grill box 2e, and is further detachably attached to the grill box 2e.
With such a configuration, when cleaning or the like, the grill partition member 9e is removed from the grill box 2e for cleaning, and after the cleaning is completed, the grill box 2e is attached to the grill box 2e for easy cleaning and maintenance.

However, as described above, the upper grill heater 3 and the lower grill heater 4 are separately fixed by the fixing brackets 8a, 8b, 8c. It is difficult to set the interval to a predetermined interval as designed, and this makes it impossible to obtain sufficient cooking performance.
Further, in order to make the grill partition member 9e covering the inner wall of the grill box 2e detachable from the grill box 2e, it interferes with the fixtures 8a, 8b, 8c fixed to the grill box 9e. Therefore, it is necessary to provide notches 10a, 10b, and 10c corresponding to the grill partition member 9e in order to avoid the fixtures 8a, 8b, and 8c. However, if each notch is provided in this way, dirt leaks from the notch to the grill box 2e, and the effect of preventing the grill box from being soiled by providing the grill partition member 9e as an inner wall is impaired. . In addition, providing such a notch increases the number of manufacturing steps, which causes high costs.

  Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its object is to improve the cooking performance of the grill device and to improve maintainability in cleaning and maintenance of the grill device. An object of the present invention is to provide a grill device that can be used and a cooking device equipped with the grill device.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a first heater for heating an object to be cooked placed on a cooking grille, and a first heater for heating the object to be cooked from a direction different from the first heater. Two heaters, a grill box containing the first heater and the second heater, heater fixing means for fixing the first heater and the second heater to the grill box, the first It is configured as a grill device comprising a heater holding means for holding a constant distance between one heater and the second heater.

  Here, it can be considered as an example that the heater holding means holds at least the first heater and the second heater by being coupled.

  At this time, the heater holding means for holding the first heater and the second heater by combining them has a substantially U-shaped or substantially U-shaped shape. It is conceivable that the distance between the two heaters is kept constant by engaging with the second heater.

  Note that the heater holding means may be coupled to only the first heater and the second heater, and may not be in contact with other elements.

It is also conceivable to fix the heater holding means to the grill box.
For example, fixing to the side wall of the grill box is considered as an example.

Furthermore, it is also conceivable that a partition member is provided between the first heater and the second heater and the inner wall of the grill box and is detachably provided on the grill box. .
At this time, the partition member may partition a part of the inner wall of the grill box.

Here, it is desirable that the heater fixing means fix the first heater or the second heater at a portion not partitioned by the partition member.
At this time, it can be considered as an example that the heater fixing means fixes the first heater or the second heater only to the upper wall of the grill box, and the heater fixing means is It is also conceivable that the first heater or the second heater is fixed only to the back wall of the grill box as viewed in the drawing direction of the partition member.

  Furthermore, it is preferable that the partition member includes a heater positioning means for positioning the first heater and the second heater by engaging with the heater holding means. At this time, the heater positioning means Is considered to be a concave portion or a convex portion provided in the partition member.

  This invention can also be grasped | ascertained as a heating cooker provided with the grill apparatus comprised as mentioned above.

According to the present invention, since the first heater and the second heater are set at a predetermined interval by the heater holding means, the cooking performance of the double-side grilling grill device can be improved.
The heater holding means may be fixed to the grill box or not fixed. In the case of fixing, the heater holding means also serves as the heater fixing means.
For example, the heater holding means may be fixed to the side wall portion of the grill box. In that case, when the partition member is used, the partition member must be provided with a notch, but the heater holding means independently holds both the first grill heater and the second grill heater, In order to be fixed to the grill box, the cutouts may be provided only at one side only on the side of the partition member. Therefore, since the notch can be reduced as compared with the conventional configuration in which the notch has to be provided for each fixing bracket, the manufacturing process can be shortened. Further, in this case, it is not necessary to use the heater fixing means separately.

When the heater holding means is not fixed to the grill box, the heater holding means does not serve as the heater fixing means. That is, in order to fix the first heater and the second heater, the heater fixing means separate from the heater holding means is used. As an example, a case where the heater fixing means is fixed to the back wall of the grill box or a case where the heater fixing means is fixed to the upper wall can be considered.
In addition, when the heater fixing means is fixed to the upper wall of the grill box, the notch may be provided in only one place on the partition member. Therefore, compared to the conventional example, which had to be provided with a notch for each fixing bracket, the notch can be greatly reduced, so that leakage of dirt can be suppressed and the manufacturing process can be shortened. I can do it.
When the heater fixing means is fixed to the inner wall of the grill box, the heater fixing means does not get in the way when the partition member is removed, so that it is not necessary to provide a notch in the partition member. . Therefore, there is no risk of dirt leaking from the notch, and the inside of the grill box can be kept clean.

Further, when the upper and lower positions of the heater holding means are fixed to the partition member and the first heater and the second heater are positioned, the first heater and the second heater are connected to the heater holding means. It is not necessary to fix to the grill box by the heater fixing means separate from the above. Further, since the heater holding means is not fixed to the inner wall of the grill box, it is not necessary to form a notch in the partition member. Therefore, there is no risk of dirt leaking from the notch, and the inside of the grill box is kept clean. In this case also, it is not necessary to use the heater fixing means separately.
By providing the above-described grill device in a cooking device, a cooking device having high cooking performance and good cleaning properties can be obtained.
