Description

The present invention relates to a solid fuel container and a method for keeping a chafing warm.

Recently, a meal system called “Viking” or “Buffet”, which can eat as much as you like from a specified range, has gained popularity. In such a meal system, it is necessary to keep a large number of cooked dishes such as cooked dishes at a predetermined temperature for a certain period of time, and for this purpose, a dish warmer called “chafing” is often used.

Chaefing is a device configured to place a heat source under a dish or plate on which food is placed, and to keep the food warm by hot water or direct fire, but it is difficult to control the temperature with direct fire. For this reason, water (hot water) is often placed under the plate or plate, and the dish is often kept warm. In the case of using such chafing, conventionally, a method has been adopted in which liquid fuel is put into a liquid fuel container having a combustion core, and the dish is kept at a predetermined temperature by burning it using the combustion core and boiling water. .

However, when such liquid fuel is used, it is necessary to put a certain amount of liquid fuel in the liquid fuel combustion container. In that case, it is necessary to open the lid and replenish the fuel. When used a certain number of times, it is necessary to replace the combustion core in addition to the fuel.
Also, when transferring liquid fuel to a liquid fuel combustion container or carrying a container containing liquid fuel, liquid fuel is likely to spill, and there is a risk of fire if liquid fuel spills. . In addition, there is a large amount of smoke and soot generated from the flame, and there is a problem that a large amount of smoke is generated particularly during fire extinguishing. Furthermore, there is a problem that it is difficult to ignite when the combustion core is ignited.

On the other hand, it is also possible to keep the chafing warm using solid fuel. When solid fuel is used, the solid fuel may be simply placed in a container and ignited with a lighter or the like before starting to keep warm for cooking or the like. Moreover, since there is no need to replace the combustion core and there is no risk of fuel spilling, preparation before use is extremely simple. In addition, when liquid fuel is used, if liquid fuel is spilled, the spilled liquid fuel may catch fire and there is a risk of fire, but in the case of solid fuel, such fire risk It has an excellent feature that there is no.
Therefore, recently, heat insulation of chafing using solid fuel instead of liquid fuel has been studied.

Now, the specifications of the chafing are different for each manufacturer, and the distance from the fuel container mounting part on which the fuel container is placed to the heated part of the chafing is different for each manufacturer. Therefore, it may be impossible to sufficiently heat using a normally used solid fuel container. To perform sufficient heating, a dedicated solid fuel container must be prepared for each chaining, Since it is necessary to lay a base having various heights for adjusting the height under the solid fuel container, there is a problem that handling becomes complicated and inconvenient.

As one method for solving such a problem, Patent Document 1 discloses that a core is provided at the opening of the fuel container for liquid fuel, supports the upper end portion of the core suspended in the fuel container, and is externally provided. In an exposed food and beverage incubator, an invention is disclosed in which a wick is detachably attached to an opening of a fuel container and the indicated wick is sent in the vertical direction to adjust the length of the exposed portion. In the method of Patent Document 1, the temperature of the target dish can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the exposed portion of the lead to adjust the size of the flame.

In addition, as a related invention for adjusting the position of the flame, Patent Document 2 discloses that when burning solid fuel, even if the weight of the solid fuel is reduced by combustion, the combustion surface does not decrease, and it is hung. A combustion auxiliary tool is disclosed in which the distance between the bottom surface of the cooking pan and the combustion surface is kept substantially constant.

However, when the liquid fuel described in Patent Document 1 is used, there is a problem in that various inconveniences as described above such as anxiety about safety arise. Also, if the distance from the fuel container mounting part to the heated part of the chafing is long, it may not reach even if the flame is enlarged, and if the flame is enlarged, the fuel will burn faster, There are problems that the heating time is shortened and the cost for heating is high.

Although the combustion auxiliary tool described in Patent Document 2 can make the height of the combustion surface constant from the beginning of combustion to the end of combustion, it does not adjust the absolute height of the combustion surface. When the distance from the mounting portion to the heated portion of the chafing is much higher than the combustion surface, there is a problem that it is not useful as a heating device.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and can freely change the height of the combustion surface of the flame, and the distance from the fuel container mounting portion to the heated portion of the chafing It is an object of the present invention to provide a solid fuel container capable of dealing with various types of chafing, and a method for keeping the chafing warm using the solid fuel container.

FIG. 1A is a perspective view schematically illustrating an example of a solid fuel container used in the present embodiment, and FIG. 1B is a cross-sectional view schematically illustrating the solid fuel container.

A solid fuel container 10 shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B has a lid 12 having an opening 12a in the center, and a bottomed cylindrical container body 11 having an open top and containing a solid fuel 14 therein. And a support 13 for supporting the container main body 11 so that the solid fuel 14 can be accommodated inside the container main body 11.

The support table 13 includes an inner support table 13a in which a male screw 130a is screwed and an outer support table 13b in which a female screw 130b is screwed so as to be screwed with the inner support table 13a. The support base 13b functions as a height adjustment mechanism.

That is, in the solid fuel container 10, the support base 13 is composed of two members, the inner support base 13a and the outer support base 13b, and the screws are screwed so that both are screwed together. And the outer support 13b are screwed together, and then the height of the container body 11 can be easily adjusted by rotating one of them, and the height of the flame can be adjusted. Therefore, if this solid fuel container 10 is used, various types of chafing with different distances from the fuel container mounting part to the bottom part of the chafing dish (the heated part of the chafing) can be kept at an appropriate temperature. Can do.

The solid fuel 14 is mainly made of alcohol or the like, and is made solid by dissolving alcohol or the like in a soap component or the like. The solid fuel 14 is normally sealed with a resin film, which is to prevent the combustible material in the solid fuel 13 from disappearing due to volatilization of alcohol or the like. However, depending on the components in the solid fuel, it is not always necessary to seal with a resin film. The density of the solid fuel 14 is 0.75 to 0.85.

The container body 11 and the lid portion 12 are made of metal or ceramic, but are preferably made of metal. It is because it is excellent in durability and can be made lightweight.

As shown in FIG. 5, it is desirable that the container body 11 and the support base 13 are coupled by a coupling portion 15 having a small cross-sectional area (cross-sectional area when horizontally cut). In order to lower the temperature of the support base 13 to the extent that it can be held by hand, it is desirable that the length of the coupling portion 15 and the cross-sectional area be longer and thinner.
The material of the support base 13 can be substantially the same material as the material of the container main body 11 and the lid portion 12, but if the temperature of the support base 13 does not increase so much, a resin-made one can also be used.

The diameter R of the container body 11 is not particularly limited, but is preferably about 40 to 120 mm, and the ratio of the diameter r of the opening 12a of the lid 12 to the diameter R of the container body 11 (r / R). Is preferably about 0.2 to 0.8.

In the solid fuel container 10, it is desirable that the height can be adjusted by about 1 to 150 mm, and it is more desirable that the height can be adjusted by about 1 to 80 mm.

The solid fuel container 10 includes an inner support base 13a in which a male screw 130a is screwed and an outer support base 13b in which a female screw 130b is screwed so as to be screwed with the inner support base 13a. You may be comprised from the inner side support stand in which the internal thread was threaded, and the outer side support base 13b in which the external thread was threaded. Moreover, you may form the part used as a screw | thread by press molding etc. using the metal etc. with thin thickness.

In the solid fuel container 10, the inner support base 13 a is coupled to the container main body 11, but the outer support base may be coupled to the container main body 11. In this case, it is formed in such a manner that the outer support base fixed to the container body 11 serves as a lid.

Next, a method for keeping warming the chafing using the solid fuel container 10 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. This heat retention method is a representative example, and other heat retention methods may be used as long as the chafing can be kept warm using the above-described solid fuel container 10.
