The structure of the grill device 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the grill device 20 includes a substantially rectangular parallelepiped grill storage 25. A substantially rectangular grill opening 26 is provided on the front surface of the grill opening 25. A grill door 21 is provided on the front side of the grill opening 26. A handle 22 projecting forward is provided on the upper part of the front surface of the grill door 21. The grill door 21 is provided so as to be movable in the front-rear direction by the rail mechanism 80. As the rail mechanism 80, for example, a well-known slide rail mechanism can be adopted. The rail mechanism 80 includes, for example, a pair of fixed rail portions 81 and a pair of movable rail portions 82. The pair of fixed rail portions 81 are fixed to the lower portions on both the left and right sides of the grill chamber 25. The pair of movable rail portions 82 are provided so as to be movable in the front-rear direction along each of the pair of fixed rail portions 81.

A dish support frame 17 is detachably attached to the upper part of the front plate portion 83. The plate support frame 17 supports the cooking plate 10 substantially horizontally. The cooking dish 10 has an uneven surface at the bottom, but may be flat. An object to be cooked (not shown) such as fish is placed on the uneven surface of the cooking plate 10. The user can take out the cooking plate 10 out of the grill chamber 25 by pulling out the handle 22 of the grill door 21 toward the front side and moving the grill door 21 forward.

The space inside the grill 25 is divided vertically by a middle plate 40 arranged substantially horizontally. The upper and lower surfaces of the middle plate 40 may be subjected to far-infrared enamel treatment. A cooking space 27 is formed on the upper side of the middle plate 40, and a heating space 28 is formed on the lower side of the middle plate 40. In the cooking space 27, the upper fire burner 50 is provided on the upper wall portion 251 of the grill storage 25. The top fire burner 50 is a plate-shaped flat burner and forms a large number of flames downward. The specific structure of the top heat burner 50 will be described later. In the cooking space 27, the cooking plate 10 supported by the plate support frame 17 is arranged substantially horizontally on the upper side of the middle plate 40. Therefore, the upper side surface of the object to be cooked placed on the cooking plate 10 is directly heated by the amount of heat from the upper heat burner 50. On the other hand, in the heating space 28, the lower heat burner 60 is supported substantially horizontally. The lower fire burner 60 is also a plate-shaped flat burner, and forms a large number of flames upward. As a result, the cooking plate 10 arranged in the cooking space 27 is heated from below by the amount of heat from the lower heat burner 60 via the middle plate 40, so that the lower side surface of the object to be cooked is indirectly heated. ..

A grill exhaust section 70 is provided at the rear of the grill chamber 25. The grill exhaust portion 70 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape extending diagonally upward from the rear portion of the grill storage 25 to the rear, and communicates with the inside of the grill storage 25. A grill exhaust port 71 having a substantially rectangular shape in a horizontally long plan view is provided on the upper portion of the grill exhaust portion 70. The grill exhaust port 71 is arranged directly below the exhaust port 7 of the top plate 3. The inside of the grill exhaust portion 70 is vertically partitioned by an inner wall 72. The inner wall 72 extends diagonally upward from the rear end of the middle plate 40 to a predetermined position below the grill exhaust port 71. An upper duct 74 is provided on the upper side of the inner wall 72. A lower duct 76 is provided on the lower side of the inner wall 72. The upper duct 74 receives the combustion exhaust from the cooking space 27. The lower duct 76 receives the combustion exhaust from the heating space 28. An upper exhaust port 75 is provided at the downstream end of the upper duct 74 on the downstream side through which the combustion exhaust flows. The upper exhaust port 75 discharges the combustion exhaust gas flowing through the upper duct 74 toward the grill exhaust port 71. A lower exhaust port 77 is provided at the downstream end of the lower duct 76 on the downstream side through which the combustion exhaust flows. The lower exhaust port 77 discharges the combustion exhaust gas flowing through the lower duct 76 toward the grill exhaust port 71. The combustion exhaust gas discharged from the upper exhaust port 75 and the lower exhaust port 77, respectively, is discharged to the outside from the grill exhaust port 71.

With the above configuration, the grill device 20 can prevent the combustion exhaust from the cooking space 27 and the combustion exhaust from the heating space 28 from interfering with each other inside the grill exhaust portion 70. The combustibility of the lower heat burner 60 can be improved. Further, since the sizes of the upper exhaust port 75 and the lower exhaust port 77 can be adjusted to the displacements of the upper heat burner 50 and the lower heat burner 60, the interference of the combustion exhaust can be further prevented. Further, since the combustion exhaust from the inside of the grill chamber 25 is discharged by using the upper duct 74 and the lower duct 76, the temperature of the entire grill exhaust portion 70 including the upper duct 74 and the lower duct 76 rises. As a result, the draft force in the grill exhaust portion 70 is increased, so that fresh air can be taken in. Therefore, the grill device 20 can improve the combustibility of the upper heat burner 50 and the lower heat burner 60.

Further, a frame trap 65 is installed inside the upper exhaust port 75. The frame trap 65 prevents the flame from being emitted from the upper exhaust port 75 in the unlikely event that the oil content or the like of the food to be cooked placed on the cooking dish 10 ignites. Since the food to be cooked is separated from the heating space 28 by the middle plate 40, the flame ignited by the oil content of the food to be cooked does not enter the lower duct 76. Therefore, the frame trap 65 may be provided only in the upper duct 74, and does not need to be provided in the lower duct 76. As a result, the combustibility of the lower heat burner 60 can be improved, and the material cost of the frame trap 65 can be saved.

The structure of the inner side of the cooking space 27 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 7. In the cooking space 27, a partition wall 30 is provided at a predetermined position slightly in front of the rear end portion of the upper wall portion 251. The partition wall 30 extends downward from a predetermined position of the upper wall portion 251 and is provided on both the left and right sides to partition between the cooking space 27 and the upper duct 74. An exhaust opening 301 penetrating in the front-rear direction is provided in a substantially central region excluding the upper side of the partition wall 30. The exhaust opening 301 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape horizontally long when viewed from the front, and the combustion exhaust generated in the cooking space 27 is discharged to the upper duct 74. A fire transfer opening 302 (see FIG. 10) is provided at the upper end of the partition wall 30. The fire transfer opening 302 is formed in a notch shape downward from the upper end of the partition wall 30, and opens upward toward the lower surface of the upper fire burner 50. An ignition electrode 31 is provided at a position directly below the upper fire burner 50 and behind the fire transfer opening 302. A flame detector 32 is provided at a position on the front side of the fire transfer opening 302.

The ignition electrode 31 ignites a flame hole portion 535 for ignition, which will be described later, provided on the lower surface of the upper fire burner 50 by spark discharge with the discharge electrode 31A. The flame detector 32 detects a misfire in the flame detection flame hole portion 536, which will be described later, provided on the lower surface of the upper flame burner 50. The flame detector 32 may be any as long as it detects any of the heat, light, and electrical characteristics of the combustion flame. For example, the flame detector 32 uses a thermocouple or an electrical characteristic to detect heat. As the frame rod, an optical sensor classified into, for example, three types (ultraviolet ray type, visible light type, infrared type) according to the detection wavelength can be used. Further, in the present embodiment, since the ignition electrode 31 and the flame detector 32 are both arranged on the back side of the grill storage 25, they should not be easily touched by the grill opening 26 of the grill storage 25. It has become. Further, when cleaning the inside of the grill 25, for example, the sleeves of clothes are less likely to be caught by the ignition electrode 31 or the flame detector 32, so that workability during cleaning can be improved.

A metal protective cover 35 is provided on the upper side of the exhaust opening 301 on the front surface of the partition wall 30 over the entire area in the grill chamber 25 in the left-right direction. The protective cover 35 covers and protects the ignition electrode 31 and the flame detector 32 arranged on the back side of the cooking space 27 from the front and the bottom. As a result, the ignition electrode 31 and the flame detector 32 are not exposed in a protruding state in the grill chamber 25. Therefore, when cleaning the inside of the grill chamber 25, for example, the sleeve of clothes is caught by the ignition electrode 31 or the flame detector 32. Can be reliably prevented. Therefore, workability at the time of cleaning can be improved. Further, since the aluminum foil or the like can be prevented from being caught by the ignition electrode 31 and the flame detector 32, it is possible to prevent the ignition failure by the ignition electrode 31 and the detection failure by the flame detector 32. Further, since it is possible to prevent oil and foodstuffs that have popped off from the object to be cooked from adhering to the ignition electrode 31 and the flame detector 32, it is possible to prevent ignition failure by the ignition electrode 31 and detection failure by the flame detector 32.

The grill device 20 of the present embodiment is a so-called "double-sided heating type indirect heating type" provided with a top heat burner 50 and a bottom heat burner 60 with a middle plate 40 in between. The air in the cooking space 27 is heated from above by the upper heat burner 50, but is also heated from below by the amount of heat from the lower heat burner 60 via the middle plate 40. The high temperature air heated by the middle plate 40 rises, but the protective cover 35 does not directly touch the ignition electrode 31 and the flame detector 32. This makes it possible to prevent ignition failure by the ignition electrode 31 and detection failure by the flame detector 32.

Further, in the protective cover 35, a fire transfer opening 36 is provided at a position corresponding to the tip end portion of the ignition electrode 31. As a result, the flame transferred from the flame hole ignited by the ignition electrode 31 (the ignition flame hole portion 535 described later) to another flame hole behind the protective cover 35 passes through the fire transfer opening 36. Therefore, other flame holes located in the cooking space 27 are sequentially ignited. Therefore, flames can be satisfactorily formed in all the flame holes of the upper flame burner 50. The specific structure of the protective cover 35 will be described later.

The structure of the top heat burner 50 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. The top fire burner 50 is a so-called flat burner formed in a plate shape. The upper fire burner 50 includes a main body portion 51 and a gas inflow portion 52. The main body portion 51 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape that is slightly long in the front-rear direction in a plan view, and a gas flow path forming portion 53 having a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view is provided in a central portion excluding the outer peripheral edge portion thereof. Has been done. The inside of the gas flow path forming portion 53 is hollow, and the internal space thereof becomes a gas flow path. The vertical width distance of the gas flow path is, for example, 5.5 mm. A recess 54 formed in a substantially "X" shape in a plan view is formed in a substantially central portion of the upper surface of the gas flow path forming portion 53. The recessed portion 54 is formed by recessing the upper surface of the gas flow path forming portion 53 downward. Therefore, the gas that has flowed into the inside of the gas flow path forming portion 53 wraps around the recess portion 54 and diffuses to the whole. At the left rear corner of the gas flow path forming portion 53, an extension portion 55 extending rearward in a substantially linear manner is provided. A substantially linear gas flow path connecting to the gas flow path of the gas flow path forming portion 53 is also formed inside the extension portion 55. It is preferable that the vertical width distance of the gas flow path of the extension portion is the same as that of the gas flow path forming portion 53.

On the other hand, the gas inflow section 52 includes a gas reservoir section 56, a throat section 57, and a gas inflow port 58. The gas pool portion 56 is provided at a substantially central portion in the left-right direction of the rear end portion of the gas flow path forming portion 53. The throat portion 57 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape that bends at a substantially right angle to the right from the gas reservoir portion 56 and extends to the right. The gas inflow port 58 is an opening provided at the right end of the throat portion 57 and expanding in diameter toward the right in a trumpet shape. At the gas inflow port 58, nozzles of a gas amount adjusting device (not shown) are arranged facing each other from the right side. The gas ejected from the nozzle flows into the gas inlet 58 while taking in the surrounding air. The gas flows to the left through the throat portion 57 while being mixed with air, and vigorously flows into the inside of the gas flow path forming portion 53 from the gas pool portion 56.

Further, an auxiliary flow path forming portion 59 having a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view is provided between the gas pool portion 56 and the extension portion 55. The inside of the auxiliary flow path forming portion 59 is also formed in a hollow shape, and communicates with each of the gas flow paths of the gas pool portion 56 and the extension portion 55. The auxiliary flow path forming portion 59 is lower than the upper surfaces of the gas flow path forming portion 53 and the extension portion 55, respectively. Therefore, the auxiliary flow path forming portion 59 is formed with a gas flow path having a narrower vertical width than the gas flow paths of the gas flow path forming portion 53 and the extension portion 55, respectively, and the vertical width distance thereof is large. For example, it is preferable to limit it to 1.0 to 2.0 mm. The auxiliary flow path forming portion 59 is provided with two recesses 59A (see FIG. 8) arranged side by side in the left-right direction. The recess 59A is formed, for example, by projecting the upper wall of the auxiliary flow path forming portion 59 downward by press molding, and the lower end portion thereof is in contact with the upper surface of the lower wall inside the auxiliary flow path forming portion 59. .. As a result, even if the upper fire burner 50 is deformed by heat, the gap between the upper wall and the lower wall can be reliably maintained by the two recesses 59A in the auxiliary flow path forming portion 59. Therefore, gas can be reliably supplied from the gas pool portion 56 to the gas flow path in the extension portion 55 via the gas flow path in the auxiliary flow path forming portion 59.

As shown in FIG. 9, a flame hole portion 530 having a substantially U-shaped bottom surface is provided on the lower surface of the gas flow path forming portion 53. The flame hole portion 530 is formed by arranging a large number of flame holes, and has a front flame hole portion 531, a right flame hole portion 532, a left flame hole portion 533, an extended flame hole portion 534, an ignition flame hole portion 535, and a flame. A flame hole portion for detection 536 is provided. In each flame hole, a flame is formed by igniting the gas supplied from the gas flow path forming portion 53 and the extension portion 55. The front flame hole portion 531 extends in the left-right direction along the front end portion of the gas flow path forming portion 53. The right flame hole portion 532 extends substantially linearly rearward from the right end portion of the front flame hole portion 531. The left flame hole portion 533 extends rearward in a substantially straight line from the left end portion of the front flame hole portion 531. The extended flame hole portion 534 extends substantially linearly from the rear end portion of the left flame hole portion 533 to the extension portion 55.

The ignition flame hole portion 535 is provided at the rear end portion of the extended flame hole portion 534, and a plurality of flame holes are assembled and formed in a substantially circular shape. The ignition flame hole portion 535 is a group of flame holes that are first ignited by the ignition electrode 31 among the flame hole portions 530. By forming the ignition flame hole portion 535 with a flame hole group, the ignition performance by the ignition electrode 31 can be improved as compared with the case where it is composed of one or a small number of flame holes. On the other hand, the flame detection flame hole portion 536 is a rear end portion of the extended flame hole portion 534, and is provided at an interval on the front side of the ignition flame hole portion 535, and a plurality of flame holes are gathered in a substantially circular shape. Is formed. The flame hole portion 536 for flame detection is a group of flame holes for detecting a flame by the flame detector 32. By forming the flame hole portion 536 for flame detection with a group of flame holes, the detection performance by the flame detector 32 can be improved as compared with the case where the flame hole portion 536 is composed of one or a small number of flame holes.

Here, the right flame hole portion 532 and the left flame hole portion 533 each form a band-shaped flame hole portion by arranging six rows of flame hole rows in the left-right direction in which flame holes are arranged at predetermined intervals in the front-rear direction. is doing. On the other hand, the extended flame hole portion 534 is thinner than the right flame hole portion 532 and the left flame hole portion 533 by arranging two rows of flame holes in the left-right direction in which one row of flame holes are arranged at predetermined intervals in the front-rear direction. It constitutes a band-shaped flame hole. Since the extended flame hole portion 534 is used only for transferring the ignition flame hole portion 535 to the left flame hole portion 533 located in the cooking space 27, only the amount of gas required for the fire transfer needs to be supplied. In the present embodiment, the extended flame hole portion 534 is configured with a smaller number of flame holes arranged than the front flame hole portion 531 used for heating the object to be cooked, the right flame hole portion 532, and the left flame hole portion 533. , Can save gas consumption.

In the upper fire burner 50 having the above structure, the gas flowing in from the gas inflow port 58 flows to the left along the throat portion 57 and flows into the gas reservoir portion 56. In the gas reservoir 56, the gas diffuses inside while the direction is changed from the left to the front, and most of the gas flows to the gas flow path forming portion 53. The gas flowing through the gas flow path forming portion 53 is affected by the vector toward the left due to the flow to the left in the throat portion 57 so far, so that the recessed portion 54 is turned counterclockwise in a plan view. , Diffuses over the entire gas flow path in the gas flow path forming portion 53. Then, a part of the gas flowing in the gas flow path forming portion 53 flows into the gas flow path in the extension portion 55.

On the other hand, a part of the gas diffused inside the gas pool portion 56 uniformly flows into the entire gas flow path in the extension portion 55. The gas flow path in the extension portion 55 extends in the direction opposite to the direction in which the gas flows from the gas pool portion 56 to the gas flow path forming portion 53, and the width of the flow path in the left-right direction is narrow. The amount of gas flowing into the extension portion 55 from 53 alone cannot supply a sufficient amount of gas to the extension flame hole portion 534. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, since the gas also flows from the auxiliary flow path forming portion 59, the gas can be supplied in a well-distributed manner to the extended flame hole portion 534 provided on the lower surface of the extended portion 55. .. As a result, the ignition flame hole portion 535 can be reliably ignited.

As described above, the gas flowing from the gas pool portion 56 to the gas flow path forming portion 53 is affected by the vector directed to the left due to the flow through the throat portion 57 up to that point, so that the gas pool portion 56 It becomes easier to flow to the auxiliary flow path forming portion 59 located on the left side of the gas flow path forming portion 59, but in the auxiliary flow path forming portion 59, the distance between the vertical widths of the gas flow paths inside the auxiliary flow path forming portion 59 is the distance between the gas flow path forming portion 53 and the extension portion 55, respectively. Since it is narrower than the gas flow path of the above, the gas is appropriately distributed toward the gas flow path forming portion 53 and the auxiliary flow path forming portion 59. As a result, gas can be appropriately supplied to the entire flame hole portion 530.

The structure of the protective cover 35 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 7. The protective cover 35 is formed by bending, for example, a single metal plate. The protective cover 35 is provided on both the left and right sides of the grill chamber 25, and has substantially the same width as the width of the partition wall 30 in the left-right direction. The protective cover 35 protrudes forward from the upper side of the exhaust opening 301 on the front side of the partition wall 30, and its front end side is bent toward the upper wall portion 251 of the grill storage 25.

The protective cover 35 includes a mounting portion 351, a forward protruding portion 352, a bent portion 353, an insertion portion 354, and the like. The mounting portion 351 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape long in the left-right direction, and is a portion that is abutted and mounted along the front surface of the partition wall 30. Three locking claws 38 (in FIG. 7, only the left side and the center are shown) are provided on the right side, the center, and the left side of the lower end portion of the mounting portion 351. These pair of locking claws 38 have three locking holes 303 (in FIG. 7, the left side and the center) provided on the right side, the center, and the left side near the upper edge portion of the exhaust opening 301 of the partition wall 30. (Only shown), it is inserted from above and locked. As a result, the lower end portion of the protective cover 35 is stably and well-balanced attached to the front surface side of the partition wall 30. The front protruding portion 352 is a portion that protrudes forward from the upper end portion of the mounting portion 351 toward the upper side. The bent portion 353 is a portion that bends in a substantially arc shape from the front end portion of the front protruding portion 352 toward the upper wall portion 251 of the grill storage 25. The insertion portion 354 is a portion that folds forward substantially horizontally from the upper end portion of the bending portion 353 and extends linearly. The insertion portion 354 is inserted into a groove (not shown) formed between the fixing plate 91 fixed to the lower surface of the upper fire burner 50 with screws 90 and the lower surface. As a result, the upper end of the protective cover 35 is attached to the lower surface of the top fire burner 50. A fire transfer opening 36 (see FIG. 5) is provided on the left side of the bent portion 353 of the protective cover 35. The fire transfer opening 36 is formed in a substantially semicircular shape when viewed from the front. The position of the fire transfer opening 36 corresponds to the position of the extended flame hole portion 534 of the upper flame burner 50.

The protective cover 35 having the above shape is attached to the front surface of the partition wall 30 and above the exhaust opening 301. The protective cover 35 protrudes forward from the upper side of the exhaust opening 301, and its front end side is bent toward the upper wall portion 251 of the grill storage 25. As a result, when the inside of the grill chamber 25 is viewed from the front, the protective cover 35 protrudes in parallel with the viewing direction of the user, so that the unevenness of the protective cover 35 is not noticeable. As a result, the protective cover 35 can be seen integrally as a part of the partition wall 30, and the appearance inside the grill 25 can be effectively improved. Further, since the mounting portion 351 which is the lower end portion of the protective cover 35 is abutted and mounted along the front surface of the partition wall 30, it can be shown as a shape continuous with the front surface of the partition wall 30. As a result, the sense of unity between the partition wall 30 and the protective cover 35 can be further emphasized. Further, since the protective cover 35 is provided on both the left and right sides of the grill chamber 25 like the partition wall 30, it can be seen as a wall that partitions the rear part of the cooking space 27 together with the partition wall 30. As a result, the appearance inside the grill 25 can be further improved.

With reference to FIG. 10, the positional relationship between the ignition electrode 31 and the flame detector 32 with respect to the ignition flame hole portion 535 and the flame detection flame hole portion 536 of the upper fire burner 50, and the fire transfer phenomenon from the ignition flame hole portion 535. To explain. Note that FIG. 10 is a view of the periphery of the ignition electrode 31 and the flame detector 32 from above, and the position of the flame hole portion 530 is virtually shown by a two-dot chain line. As described above, the ignition electrode 31 is arranged behind the partition wall 30, and the tip portion that causes spark discharge is arranged behind the fire transfer opening 302. The flame detector 32 is arranged on the front side of the partition wall 30, and the tip portion for detecting the flame is arranged in front of the fire transfer opening 302. Then, the extended flame hole portion 534 of the upper flame burner 50 is arranged in the front-rear direction so as to pass through the fire transfer opening 302 of the partition wall 30 and the fire transfer opening 36 of the protective cover 35. Further, the tip end portion of the ignition electrode 31 is arranged immediately below the substantially central portion of the ignition flame hole portion 535. The tip of the flame detector 32 is arranged immediately below the substantially central portion of the flame detection flame hole portion 536 (see FIGS. 4 and 10).

When the operation button 13 is pressed, in the upper fire burner 50, the ignition electrode 31 operates in a state where the gas flows into the gas flow path forming portion 53 and the gas is supplied to the flame hole portion 530. The spark discharge from the ignition electrode 31 first ignites the ignition flame hole portion 535. The flames formed in the flame holes of the ignition flame hole portion 535 ignite the adjacent flame holes one after another in the extended flame hole portion 534. The flame that transfers along each flame hole of the extended flame hole portion 534 passes through the fire transfer opening 302 of the partition wall 30 and the fire transfer opening 36 of the protective cover 35 from the rear to the front. Here, in the fire transfer openings 36 and 302, since the extended flame hole portion 534 having a short left and right width is arranged, the respective ends of the partition wall 30 and the protective cover 35 are prevented from being burned by the flame. It has become. As a result, it is possible to prevent the end portions of the partition wall 30 and the protective cover 35 from being heated to a high temperature and being thermally deformed. Then, in the cooking space 27, the left flame hole portion 533, the front flame hole portion 531 and the right flame hole portion 532 are ignited in this order from the extended flame hole portion 534. In this way, flames are satisfactorily formed in all the flame holes of the flame hole portion 530 of the upper flame burner 50.
