BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an oven toaster having a function of drying foods such as vegetables, fruits, meat and fish to a conventional oven toaster.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There is no conventional oven toaster having a function of drying foods such as vegetables, fruits, meat and fish. Related to this type of apparatus is Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 1-5.
No. 8007, “Oven toaster that can also be smoked” is available. This oven toaster, in addition to the usual "baked",
Adds a drying function with a changeover switch, puts the food on the grill in the oven toaster, keeps the temperature in the oven at 50-70 ° C with a temperature control device, promotes the drying of the food for a long time, and stores the evaporated moisture. It was configured to be discharged from the inner exhaust port to the outside, and required a temperature adjusting device for drying food.

[0003]

In Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 1-58007 related to this type of apparatus, a temperature control device for drying food is required as described above, and the structure is complicated and expensive. There was a problem.

The present invention uses a conventional toaster heater for an oven toaster to improve the performance of the conventional oven toaster.
The challenge is to add the function of drying food without burning it.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and comprises an oven cabinet installed in a main body and heating elements arranged at upper and lower portions of the oven cabinet. This heating element is connected in series with an AC power supply via a changeover switch, and a power reduction means for reducing the power consumption of the heating element is connected to the changeover switch. And an exhaust hole for discharging steam, a ventilation hole is provided below the ventilation hole, and a circulation fan controlled by a changeover switch is installed in the ventilation hole to dry the food. A second heating element controlled by a changeover switch is installed on the side of the ventilation hole of the oven storage to heat the outside air.

[0006]

With the above arrangement, in the case of "baking" a normal bread or the like, the changeover switch connects the heating element in series with the AC power supply, and emits red heat for a set time. For this reason, bread and the like are quickly toasted, so that the surface is appropriately charred and the moisture of the bread does not evaporate much.

Next, when the food is dried, when the food drying function is set by the changeover switch, the heating element is connected in series with the power reducing means for reducing the power consumption for the set time,
Its power consumption is reduced and it does not glow. For this reason, the food is carefully heated inside without burning, and the water evaporates. In this state, the circulation fan controlled by the changeover switch is driven, and a part of the air blows the vapor evaporated from the food through the exhaust hole, so that the food is dried.

When a second heating element controlled by a changeover switch is installed on the side of the ventilation hole of the oven cabinet, and the outside air is heated and blown into the oven cabinet, the food is dried in a short time.

1 to 3 show an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a main body of an oven toaster, in which an oven storage 2 for heating food is provided. Reference numeral 3 denotes a blow hole provided at a lower portion of the oven storage 2. Reference numeral 4 denotes a circulation exhaust hole, which is provided above the oven chamber 2 and communicates with the blow hole 3. Reference numeral 5 denotes an exhaust hole for discharging steam in the oven storage 2 and is provided at an upper portion of the main body 1. Reference numeral 6 denotes a heating element composed of a quartz tube heater, which is disposed in the upper and lower portions of the oven storage 2, respectively. 7 is a grill on which food is placed and 2
It is arranged between the upper and lower heating elements 6. Numeral 8 denotes a circulation ventilation path for circulating air in the oven chamber 2.
, And communicates between the ventilation hole 3 and the circulation exhaust hole 4 and the exhaust hole 5. Reference numeral 9 denotes a circulation fan controlled by the changeover switch 11, which has a motor 9 a and is installed in the circulation air passage 8. A door 10 is provided on the front surface of the main body 1 so as to be freely opened and closed.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a changeover switch for setting a food drying function. As shown in FIG. 3, the switch 11 has a toaster contact 11a and a food drying contact 11b. Power reduction means 12 composed of a rectifying diode is connected in parallel. Heating element 6
Are connected in series with an AC power supply 14 via a changeover switch 11. Reference numeral 15 denotes a switch for driving and controlling the motor 9a in conjunction with the changeover switch 11, and is provided between the motor 9a and the diode 12.

As another embodiment, a changeover switch 11
And a second heating element 16 composed of a nichrome wire heater for heating the outside air may be installed on the side of the ventilation hole 3.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

In the case of "baking" a normal bread or the like, a cooking time is set by a timer (not shown), and energization is started. At this time, the changeover switch 11 is connected to the contact 11a side as shown by the arrow, connected to the changeover switch 11 side, the switch 15 is opened in conjunction with the changeover switch 11, and the heating element 6 is connected in series with the AC power supply 14. The motor 9a is red-heated for a set time, and the motor 9a is not energized. For this reason, bread and the like are quickly toasted, so that the surface is appropriately charred and the moisture of the bread does not evaporate much.

Next, when the food is dried, the cooking time is set similarly, and the changeover switch 11 is connected to the contact 11b to set the food drying function. For this reason, the heating element 6 is provided with a power reducing means (diode) 1 for half-wave rectification for a set time.
2 is connected in series, and its power consumption is reduced by half, so that it does not glow. For this reason, the food is heated to the inside without burning and the moisture of the food evaporates. In this state, the switch 15 linked with the changeover switch 11 is set to the contact 1
To connect to the 1b side, the motor 9a is energized and the circulation fan 9 is driven. For this reason, the air blown by the circulation fan 9 is blown out from the air blow hole 3 into the oven chamber 2, is heated by the heating element 6, circulates in the oven chamber 2 through the circulation exhaust hole 4 and the circulation air passage 8, and a part thereof. Mixes with the vapor evaporated from the food and is discharged out of the main body 1 through the exhaust hole 5, so that the food is dried. Further, as another embodiment, when the food drying function is set by the changeover switch 11, the second heating element 16 is electrically heated, and the outside air is heated and blown into the oven chamber 2, so that the food can be obtained in a short time. dry.

[0016]

According to the present invention, when the food is dried, when the changeover switch is opened and the food drying function is set, the heating element is connected in series with the power reducing means, the power consumption is reduced, and the red heat does not occur. . For this reason, the inside of the food is carefully heated, and the moisture of the food evaporates. Simultaneously, the steam evaporating from the food is discharged from the exhaust hole by the ventilation of the circulation fan, so that the food is dried.

Therefore, a temperature control device for drying the food is not required, and a function of drying the food without scorching can be added to the performance of the conventional oven toaster using the heater for the toaster of the conventional oven toaster. .
