Description

  The present invention relates to an improvement in a food baking machine in which foods such as seafood, meat, and vegetables are placed on a perforated food receiver such as a mesh and baked in a lower flame from a heater such as a burner.

  When foods such as seafood, meat, and vegetables are placed on a mesh-shaped food tray and baked in the lower flame, if oil, juice, water, etc. from the food is applied to a heater such as a burner, the burner Therefore, it is necessary to prevent these liquid components from being applied to the burner.

  Prior art food baking machines cover the entire burner with a heat-resistant glass cover and bake food with the heat radiated from the heat-resistant glass cover so that liquid does not get on the burner, or keep the gap from the burner nozzle. A cover having an appropriate cross-sectional shape that is opened and placed is covered, and the food is baked by a direct fire with a heat ray directed at the food from a gap on both sides of the cover or a flame outlet of the cover (see Patent Document 1).

  However, the food baking machine with these covers cannot be dropped from the cover while the liquid dripping from the food remains attached to the hot cover. There was a drawback that could not be baked well.

  In particular, when the food baking machine is an automatic food baking machine that continuously supplies food on a mesh conveyor and burns the food, the food cannot be turned upside down on the food receiver, thus preventing the oil from burning up. This is very important.

  In addition, since the food baking machine of the prior art bakes food with the heat rays directed at the food, the atmospheric conditions such as the temperature of the food baking area are only affected by the heat from the burner, and the atmospheric conditions of the food baking area There was a drawback that can not be adjusted.

In the illustrated example, five sets of lower heating means 60 are arranged, but the number thereof is appropriately set according to the length of the conveyor 32. As shown in FIG. 3, the burner 40 and the cover 50 of the lower heating means 60 preferably have substantially the same width as the conveyor 32.

  The gas burner 40 of each lower heating means 60 is obliquely upward in the direction opposite to the moving direction of the conveyor 32 below the cover 50 so as to be directed to the heat line 2 (see FIG. 4) obliquely with respect to the conveyor 32 which is the food receiver 30. Is arranged. The burner 40 is typically a gas burner, but may be an oil burner or other suitable burner. The burner 40 is attached to the pair of attachment frames 26AF by attachment screws 42.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 2, 4 and 5, the cover 50 of each heating means 60 is against the receiving surface of the conveyor 32 which is the food receiver 30 so as to block the liquid 4 from falling on the burner 40. And a hollow body 52 that is disposed obliquely downward in the traveling direction and into which a cooling medium is supplied. In the illustrated example, the cover 50 is disposed in parallel to the direction of the hot wire 2 of the burner 40.

  In the illustrated example, the hollow body 52 is made of a metal box 52M such as an iron plate having good thermal conductivity. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the metal box 52M has upper and lower wall surfaces 52U, 52L, The upper wall surface 52U has a rear end portion 52UU hanging from the rear wall surface 52R and a main body portion 52UM extending from the front wall surface 52F in the vicinity of the rear end portion. The overlap portion 52OV is overlapped so that the rear end portion 52UU is on the upper side), and a medium discharge port described later is formed in the gap between the overlap portions 52OV. In this embodiment, the concepts “front” and “rear” mean “front” and “rear” in the direction of travel of the conveyor 32, respectively.

  A cooling medium supply source 54 that supplies a cooling medium to the hollow body 52 of the cover 50 is connected to a medium supply port 54 </ b> H provided on the front wall surface 52 </ b> F below the hollow body 52. In the illustrated example, the cooling medium is water, and therefore the cooling medium supply source 54 is composed of a water supply pipe 54C. As shown in FIG. 2, the water supply pipe 54 </ b> C is connected to the medium supply port 54 </ b> H of the hollow body 52 of the cover 50 of each pair of lower heating means 60.

  As already described, the hollow body 52 has the medium discharge port 54D in the gap of the overlap portion 52OV near the upper portion of the upper wall surface 52U. The medium discharge port 54D is connected to the hollow body 52D from the cooling medium supply source 54. The cooling medium supplied to the inside of the hollow body 52 has a function of discharging so as to flow down along the upper wall surface 52U of the hollow body 52.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the cover 50 has mounting pieces 56 </ b> P that are detachably attached to a pair of attachment frames 26 </ b> AF attached to both sides of the intermediate frame 26 of the machine body 20 by screws 56 </ b> S. Therefore, the cover 50 can be easily removed from the airframe 20 and cleaned on its surface periodically or at any time after use.

  Next, the state of use of the food baking machine 10 according to the above embodiment of the present invention will be described. The food 1 to be baked, for example, seafood 1F, is sequentially supplied from the entrance of the conveyor 32 (left side in FIGS. 1 and 2). The conveyor 32 is transferred at an appropriate speed, while the burner 40 of the lower heating means 60 is ignited in advance, and the cooling medium supply port 54H is inserted into the hollow body 52 of the cover 50 from the water supply pipe 54C as the cooling medium supply source 54. To supply water.

  When the seafood 1F is sequentially conveyed into the food baking machine 10 in this way, the seafood 1F is baked by receiving the heat rays 2 by the lower heating means 60 (see FIG. 4). Since it is arranged obliquely downward with respect to the conveying direction of the seafood 1F (longitudinal direction of the conveyor 32) while maintaining the vertical relationship, the hot wire 2 from the burner 40 rises vertically as shown in the figure. Rather, it rises diagonally along the inclination of the cover 50 to heat and bake the seafood 1F, and the air 3 heated by the hot wire 2 rises vertically and hits the lower wall surface 50L of the cover 50. It rises diagonally along the lower wall surface 50L, and rises again vertically on the rear side (the side having the rear wall surface) where the cover 50 is cut to heat the seafood 1F. In this way, the seafood 1F is heated and baked by the hot wire 2 and the heated air 3.

  On the other hand, liquid droplets 4 such as oil droplets and water droplets dripping from the seafood 1F baked in this way are dripped vertically as shown in FIG. Then, it flows down along the inclination of the upper wall surface 50U of the cover 50 and further falls from the cover 50. Since the cooling medium is supplied into the cover 50, the temperature of the cover 50 does not increase, and therefore the liquid component 1 dripped on the cover 50 does not adhere to the upper wall surface 52U or burn. The cover 50 can flow down along the inclination of the upper wall surface 52U. As already described, since the medium discharge port 54D is provided in the overlap portion 54OV and is covered by the rear end portion 52UU of the overlap portion 54OV, the liquid portion 4 dripping from the seafood 1F is contained in the medium discharge port 54D. It does not enter the hollow body 52 from the medium discharge port 54D.

  In addition, the liquid 4 drops vertically between the adjacent covers 50. In this case, since the burner 40 is located below the cover 50, the liquid 4 to be dropped between the covers 50 is dropped. It does not adhere to the burner 40.

  A receiving tray (not shown) for receiving the liquid 4 (not shown) is disposed below the lower heating means 60. The liquid 4 that has flowed down from the cover 50 or dropped between the covers is stored in the receiving tray and discarded. Can do.

  The cooling medium (water) supplied into the hollow body 52 of the cover 50 is discharged from the medium discharge port 54D above (backward) the upper wall surface 52U of the cover 50 and flows downward along the upper wall surface 52U of the cover 50. Therefore, the liquid part 4 dripped on the cover 50 is washed away, and a part of the liquid becomes steam 5 and rises to the grilled area of the seafood 1F, as shown in FIG. And seafood 1F can be baked gently.

  Atmospheric conditions such as the temperature of the food baking area can be easily adjusted by adjusting the supply amount and supply speed of the cooling medium, but also by adjusting the opening degree of the medium discharge port 54D by means not shown. Can be adjusted.

  In the illustrated embodiment, the cooling medium enters the hollow body 52 of the cover 50 and flows down from the medium discharge port 54D to the upper wall surface 54U of the cover 50. However, by collecting the cooling medium from the hollow body 52 through the discharge pipe, A closed medium flow path (loop) may be formed. Alternatively, a cooling medium may be supplied from the rear wall surface 52R on the upper side of the hollow body 52 and discharged from the front wall surface on the lower side of the hollow body 52 via a drain pipe or by flowing down.

  In the above embodiment, the burner 40 and the cover 50 are inclined downward in the traveling direction of the conveyor 32, but may be inclined upward in the traveling direction of the conveyor 32. In this case, since the front end of the hollow body is upward, the medium discharge port 54D of the hollow body 52 is provided on the upper wall surface on the front end side. Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the burner 40 and the cover 50 are arrange | positioned at the same inclination angle so that it may become parallel, these inclination angles do not necessarily need to be the same, these are different angles. It may be inclined. In particular, the inclination angle of the cover 50 is increased with respect to the floor surface to increase the inclination of the liquid component 4 so as not to prevent the hot wire 2 of the burner 40 from reaching the food product receiver 30. It is preferable to do so.

  In addition, although the case where seafood 1F was baked was mentioned as an example in description of said use condition, it can be used to bake meat, vegetables, and other appropriate foods alone or in combination other than seafood. Of course. The heater may be in a form other than the burner, for example, an electric heater.

  As described above, since the cover covering the heater is arranged obliquely, the liquid from the food is easy to flow down along the inclination of the cover, and the temperature of the cover is supplied to the inside of the hollow body. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent the liquid component from remaining on the cover and the oil component from burning up.

  In addition, when the cooling medium in the cover is discharged from the medium outlet of the bar, the liquid that has fallen on the cover is washed away to further prevent the liquid from remaining on the cover. In some cases, good baking of food can be obtained by adjusting the temperature in the food baking area in the form of steam.

  According to the present invention, the liquid dropped from the food does not remain attached to the cover that covers the heater or does not burn up, and the food is well baked by appropriately adjusting the atmosphere in the food baking area. And has high industrial applicability.
