  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the lidded griddle of the present embodiment has a box-shaped casing 1 having a substantially rectangular shape in plan view, and controls the operation of the heating unit (not shown) and the lidded griddle. And a control unit (not shown in particular). An operation unit 13 that externally operates the heating unit and the control unit and a display unit 14 that externally displays a griddle state such as a heating operation are disposed on one of the four outer peripheral surfaces 12 of the casing 1. Has been. In addition, the heating part should just be what heats the below-mentioned grill part 2 by heat exchange using a heat medium, and a combustion burner, an electric heater, etc. are preferable. And the code | symbol 15 of the casing 1 is an exhaust duct which discharges | emits the waste gas in a heating part, a hot air, or the air which flows through the inside of a heating part.

  Hereinafter, the outer peripheral surface 12 on which the operation unit 13 and the display unit 14 are disposed is referred to as a front surface 121, the opposite outer peripheral surface 12 is referred to as a rear surface 122, and the other two surfaces are referred to as side surfaces 123, respectively. Then, the direction facing the front surface 121 (the direction facing outward from the front surface 121) is defined as the front, the direction facing the rear surface 122 opposite to the front is defined as the rear, and the direction facing the side surface 123 is defined as the side.

  In addition, on the upper surface 11 of the casing 1, a grill part 2 for placing an object to be cooked, a lid 3 that covers the upper part of the grill part 2 so that it can be opened and closed, and a lid 3 that holds the lid 3 on the casing 1 opens and closes the lid 3. A rotating mechanism 5 for turning on and a hot water dripping receptacle 4 for receiving dripping hot water from the lid 3 when the lid 3 is opened are provided.

  The grill portion 2 includes a substantially rectangular grill plate 21 on which an object to be cooked is placed, and four peripheral walls 22 that rise upward from each peripheral end of the grill plate 21 and cover the outer periphery, and the grill plate 21 is heated. It is arrange | positioned above the part and is heated by the heating part.

  Further, behind the grill portion 2 on the upper surface 11 of the casing 1, there is a notch portion 111 that is substantially the same size as the left and right width of the grill portion 2 and is cut out in a rectangular shape. 4 is detachably arranged. The drooping receptacle 4 is mainly composed of a bottomed cylindrical tray 41 having an opening upward and a bottom 411 below, and is recessed below the upper surface 11 of the casing 1 in the notch 111. A recess is formed.

  Specifically, the tray 41 has a substantially flat bottom portion 411, a side wall surrounding the outer periphery of the bottom portion 411, and a flange portion (not shown in particular) extending outward from the upper end of the side wall. It is a box-like thing opened upward. And the saucer 41 is detachably arrange | positioned at the notch part 111 by contact | abutting the lower surface of a flange part to the site | part which forms the opening edge of the notch part 111 of the upper surface 11 of the casing 1. FIG. Therefore, the hot water dripping receptacle 4 can be removed from the casing 1 by lifting the saucer 41 upward from the notch 111.

  Moreover, the upper part of the grill part 2 and the hot water dripping receptacle 4 is covered with the lid | cover 3 which can be opened and closed freely. The lid 3 includes a rectangular lid main body 31 that covers the grill portion 2 and the water dripping receptacle 4 when closed, and extends from the peripheral end of the lid main body 31. And an outer wall 34 covering the outer periphery.

  The lid body 31 has an inner surface 32 that is a surface facing the grill plate 21 side when closed, and an outer surface 33 that is a surface on the back side of the inner surface 32 and is connected to the casing 1 via the rotation mechanism 5. The inner surface 32 is brought into contact with the upper end of the peripheral wall 22 of the grill portion 2 when closed. Therefore, when the lid 3 is closed, there is a gap between the inner surface 32 and the upper surface 211 of the grill plate 21 so as to cover the upper portion of the grill portion 2 and the hot water dripping tray 4. The upper surface 211, the peripheral wall 22, and the inner surface 32 of the lid 3 form a space isolated from the outside in the grill portion 2.

  The outer wall 34 has a front outer wall 341 positioned forward at the time of closing, located outside the peripheral wall 22 on the front side, and lateral outer walls 343 positioned on the left and right sides respectively positioned outward of the left and right peripheral walls 22. A rear outer wall 342 located at the rear is located at the rear end of the hot water dripping receptacle 4. In addition, the code | symbol 35 of the front outer wall 341 is a grip which operates opening and closing of the lid | cover 3. FIG.

  Further, the rotation mechanism 5 for opening and closing the lid 3 includes a first rotation shaft 51 disposed on the upper surface 11 of the casing 1, a second rotation shaft 52 disposed on the outer surface 33 of the lid 3, and the first rotation. The moving shaft 51 and the arm 53 that connects the second rotating shaft 52 are configured.

  Specifically, the first rotating part 511 to which the first rotating shaft 51 is attached is provided at the rear side of the water dripping receptacle 4, and the second rotating part 521 to which the second rotating shaft 52 is attached is provided. The cover 3 is provided on the outer surface 33 of a portion located above the rear end of the grill portion 2 when the lid 3 is closed. One end of the arm 53 is rotatably attached to the first rotating shaft 51, and the other end is rotatably attached to the second rotating shaft 52, and the lid 3 and the casing 1 are connected by the arm 53. Yes.

  Therefore, the first rotation unit 511 rotates the arm 53 with respect to the upper surface 11 of the casing 1, and the second rotation unit 521 rotates the lid 3 with respect to the arm 53. That is, the lid 3 is lifted upward from the closed state, and is opened while the front outer wall 341 is moved backward by the rotation mechanism 5, and the locus drawn when the lid 3 is opened and closed is rotated. Mechanism 5 defines.

  The arm 53 has a rotation restricting portion (not shown) including a biasing spring or the like for restricting the turning range of the lid 3 via the second turning portion 521. The rotation of the lid 3 is regulated so that the rear outer wall 342 does not protrude forward from the drooping receptacle 4 by the portion. Therefore, the lid 3 is opened and closed with the rear outer wall 342 positioned above the drooping receptacle 4, and the rear outer wall 342 is located above the grill portion 2 during closing, opening and closing. It has never been located.

  As described above, since the lid 3 performs an opening / closing operation while drawing a predetermined trajectory while being connected to the casing 1 by the rotation mechanism 5, the rear outer wall 342 of the lid 3 is always positioned at the lower end during the opening and opening / closing operations. The dew adhering to the lid 3 flows toward the rear outer wall 342 when opened. Then, the dew that flows to the rear outer wall 342 is dripped from the end of the rear outer wall 342 and falls downward, and is introduced into the hot water droop receiver 4 positioned below the rear outer wall 342.

  That is, the dew derived from the steam adhering to the inner surface 32 of the lid 3 by the cooking operation flows to the rear outer wall 342 along the inner surface 32 when the lid 3 is opened, and is then introduced into the drooping receiver 4 as dripping water. is there. Therefore, dripping hot water does not fall on the grill part 2, it can suppress that dripping hot water adheres to a to-be-cooked object, and is a griddle with a lid | cover which can produce | generate a to-be-cooked food with high quality. And since the locus | trajectory of the opening / closing operation | movement of the lid | cover 3 is prescribed | regulated by the rotation mechanism 5, the position of the lower end (rear outer wall 342) of the lid | cover 3 can be hold | maintained above the drooping receptacle 4 at the time of an opening / closing operation | movement and opening. The dripping hot water is prevented from dropping other than the hot water dripping receptacle 4.

  Moreover, as a modification of the hot water dripping receptacle 4, as shown in FIG. 3, a receiving tray 41 whose bottom portion 411 is inclined toward one side end, a hot water storing portion 42 for storing dripping hot water received by the receiving pan 41, and a bottom portion 411. And a communication passage 43 that communicates the inclined lower end with the hot water storage section 42.

  Specifically, when the dripping water falls on the tray 41, the dripping water flows to the communication passage 43 along the inclination of the bottom 411, flows to the hot water storage portion 42 through the communication passage 43, and accumulates in the hot water storage portion 42. It is. And the hot water storage part 42 is the box-shaped thing sealed except for a part of upper end connected to the communication path 43, and the volume of the hot water space which is an internal space of a box is larger than the inner volume of the receiving tray 41. It has become a thing. That is, the hot water dripping receptacle 4 collects the dripping hot water received by the receiving tray 41 in the hot water storage section 42 through the communication passage 43, and can receive more dripping hot water than that of the receiving pan 41 alone. ing.

  Therefore, even if dripping hot water having a volume substantially the same as or larger than the capacity of the receiving tray 41 falls on the dripping tray 4, it is introduced into the hot water storage section 42 and overflows from the receiving tray 41 to the upper surface 11 of the casing 1. There is nothing.

  As described above, since the hot water storage section 42 is provided, more dripping hot water than that of the receiving tray 41 alone can be received, so that the number of times the food can be cooked before the dripping hot water needs to be removed is increased. It has become. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the operation of removing the dripping water from the dripping tray 4 at the time of congestion such as lunch time, and to improve the usability of the lidded griddle. Further, since the dripping hot water does not remain in the receiving tray 41 and is stored in the hot water storage section 42, when the hot dripping tray 4 is removed from the casing 1 by removing the accumulated dripping hot water or the like, the dripping hot water is removed from the receiving tray 41. Spilling out is suppressed.

  As another example, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, there is one in which a guide portion 6 for guiding dripping water to the dripping tray 4 is provided on the inner surface 32 of the lid 3.

  In this structure, the guide portion 6 is provided in a portion of the inner surface 32 of the lid 3 that covers the top of the drooping receiver 4 when closed, and the guide portion 6 is substantially L-shaped so as to protrude toward the rear end side of the lid 3. The main body is constituted by a guide path 61 having a shape, and the guide path 61 is formed over both sides of the lid 3. And the corner | angular part 62 which becomes the convex of the guidance path 61 is located in the approximate center (substantially middle of the width dimension) of the both sides of the lid | cover 3, and dew drops from this corner | angular part 62 into the hot water dripping receptacle 4 in it. It is to be introduced.

  Therefore, when the lid 3 is opened, dew adhering to the inner surface 32 of the lid 3 flows toward the rear end side along the inner surface 32 of the lid 3, and flows along the guidance path 61 when coming into contact with the guidance path 61. The hot water is dripped from the corner 62 and falls into the drooping receiver 4. Reference numeral 63 of the guide portion 6 is a leakage prevention wall that prevents dew flowing along the guide path 61 from falling down before reaching the corner portion 62 when the lid 3 is opened. The leakage prevention wall 63 is cut out at a position corresponding to the corner portion 62 and has a dripping hot water derivation portion 64, and the dew that has been guided falls downward through the dripping hot water derivation portion 64 and receives dripping water. 4 is introduced.

  Thus, by providing the guide portion 6, the dew adhering to the lid 3 is guided to the corner portion 62 and falls as dripping water from the dripping water derivation portion 64. The dripping hot water is introduced into the approximate center of the upper opening of the hot water dripping receptacle 4 located. For this reason, even if the dripping water falls off from the approximate center of the upper opening due to vibration such as impact when the lid 3 is opened or wind falls, it is difficult to come off the upper opening, and the accuracy of introducing the dripping water into the dripping tray 4 is improved. ing.

  And since the dew adhering to the lid | cover 3 is aggregated and made to flow by the guide part 6, the dew which flows is gathered, the particle size of a dew becomes large, and the fluidity | liquidity of a dew can be improved. Therefore, dew tends to flow to the rear end of the lid 3, the amount of dripping hot water introduced into the dripping receptacle 4 is increased, and dew can be further suppressed from remaining on the inner surface 32 of the lid 3. The efficiency of introduction into the receiver 4 can also be improved.

  The lid 3 may be a lid body 31 having a curved cross section of the inner surface 32, or a section covering the entire upper part of the grill part 2 and a part of the upper part of the dripping receptacle 4, etc. What is necessary is just to cover the upper part of the grill part 2 and to enable cooking such as steaming. And what does not cover the whole of the dripping receptacle 4 is preferably provided with the guide portion 6 on the lid 3 so that dew does not fall downward from a portion other than the portion covering the dripping receptacle 4.

  Further, the guide portion 6 is not limited to being added as a separate member to the inner surface 32 of the lid 3, and as shown in FIG. 6, the corner 36, which is a connecting portion of the end side of the lid body 31 and the rear outer wall 342, has an arc shape. The lid 3 may be bent so that a part of the lid 3 also serves as the guide portion 6.

  Further, the rotation mechanism 5 fixes the other end of the arm 53 to the outer surface 33 of the lid 3, and the lid 3 does not rotate with respect to the arm 53 from which the second rotation portion 521 is abolished. There may be one without the arm 53 in which a concentric hinge or the like is disposed as the first rotating portion 511 at the lower end portion on the rear side of the H.343. Of course, the turning mechanism 5 is not limited to turning the lid 3 rearward, and may be one that turns the lid 3 sideways or forward. For example, in the case of rotating to the right side, the hot water dripping receptacle 4 is arranged on the right side of the grill portion 2, and in the case of rotating to the front, the hot droop receptacle 4 is located in front of the grill portion 2. Will be placed. In other words, the hot water dripping receptacle 4 is provided on the side where a pivot shaft serving as a pivot for pivoting the lid 3 upward to pivot from the closed state to the open state is disposed.

  Further, the grill portion 2 is a grill plate 21 having no peripheral wall 22 that forms a gap at the time of closing by the outer wall 34 of the lid 3, or a pan-like shape in which the peripheral wall 22 is high and recessed toward the inside of the casing 1. Or the like. And in the thing which the grill part 2 provided recessed from the casing 1 upper surface 11, a heating part may heat from the downward direction and right and left.

  Of course, the hot water dripping receptacle 4 has no communication passage 43 that directly communicates the upper end of the hot water storage portion 42 with one end of the hot water receiving tray 41, or the pan 41 and the hot water storage portion 42 in which only the hot water storage portion 42 is removable. It may be a non-removable one or a non-removable one in which the hot water dripping receptacle 4 is fixed to the casing 1. And in what is not removable, it is preferable to have a hot water draining means, such as a hot water drain hole, in the bottom part of the hot water storage part 42 or the side surface near the bottom part.

  Further, the lidded griddle of the present invention may be a dumpling roaster with an automatic water supply function provided with a water supply mechanism for supplying steam steaming water onto the upper surface 211 of the grill part 2 during steam steaming or the like. . Of course, not only the gyoza-yaki or teppanyaki, but also the grill part 2 which comprises a net part on which the grill part 2 mounts the part to be cooked and a saucer for receiving juice such as oil dropped from the cooked object, or the grill part 2 The smoker apparatus etc. which smokes a to-be-cooked object by arrange | positioning a chip | tip etc. below may be sufficient.
