Abstract

PURPOSE:To generate a fixed amount of smoke for many hours and to efficiently emit smoke, by successively sending electric current to plural heaters for generating smoke. CONSTITUTION:A smoking chamber 2 is set in a main body 1 and a heater 4 for heating the chamber and a heater 5 for generating smoke are independently equipped at the bottom of the smoking chamber 2. Further the heater 5 for generating smoke is divided into plural heaters and electric current is successively sent to the heaters. Consequently, a fixed amount of smoke is emitted for many hours and efficient emission of smoke can be aimed. Capacity of the heater for generating smoke is lessened.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a domestic smoking machine for producing poultry products by smoking whole foods, etc., and particularly relates to control of a heater for generating smoke.

[Conventional technology]

For home smoking machines, there are two methods: a direct combustion method, in which the smoking material is directly burned inside the smoking machine, and an electric heater is installed inside the smoking machine, and the smoking material (wood chips) is placed in this heater. There is an electric heating method in which the entire smoker is placed in a smoking tray and heated to cause all of the smoke material to be incompletely combusted.

However, with the above-mentioned direct combustion method, temperature control inside the refrigerator and generation of smoke must be left to humans.
The disadvantage is that temperature control and smoke control cannot be controlled separately. In addition, since it is directly burned, it is often inconvenient that its use indoors is restricted. On the other hand, with an electric type, the temperature inside the refrigerator can be controlled by the machine by using the temperature controller sound, but since it functions as both a heater for heating the refrigerator and a heater for generating smoke, the temperature inside the refrigerator can be controlled by the machine. When I turned off the entire heater for adjustment, the smoke stopped.

Also, at the beginning of smoking.

Due to the poor heat conduction of the smoking tray, it took a long time for smoke to be generated, reducing efficiency. Therefore, in order to shorten the rise time of smoke generation, the capacity of the heater must be made larger than necessary, which often causes inconveniences. Therefore, the inventors separated the heater for heating the inside of the refrigerator and the heater for generating smoke, and then housed the heater for generating smoke integrally in a heat-resistant container, and each heater was detachable. He proposed a smoker that could be controlled separately. (Japanese Patent Application No. 62-240131) [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As mentioned above, in Japanese Patent Application No. 62-240131, the heater for heating the refrigerator and the heater for generating smoke are made independent, but
If there is only a single heater for smoke generation, there is a problem in that it is difficult to generate smoke for a long time.

In other words, if you want to produce 'A' after smoking for a long time, you will have to increase the size of the heater for the remaining smoke and use a large amount of smoking material, but since there is only one heater, it will not work for a long time. There was an inconvenience that constant smoke could not be obtained and smoke could not be generated efficiently.

[Means to solve the problem]

This invention was made to solve the above-mentioned inconvenience, and mg! 1. The heater for most applications is divided into a plurality of parts, each of which can be controlled independently, and the ignition time can be sequentially controlled.

[For production]

The smoking machine of the present invention is equipped with a plurality of smoke generating heaters and controls the ignition time of each heater by delaying the entire ignition time by a certain period of time, so that a certain amount of smoke can be generated over a long period of time.

[Example of recent IM]

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings. Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the electric smoker of this invention, (1)
is a main body, and a smoking chamber (2) is installed inside the main body (1). (3) is a door that opens and closes the front of the smoking chamber (2), and when you pull the first handle (3b) toward you, it rotates around the hinge (3a). (4) is a heater for heating the inside of the refrigerator, and is arranged on the bottom side of the smoking chamber (2). Furthermore, a smoker heater (5) is provided on the near side. This smoke generation heater (5) is divided into three parts. The heater (4) for heating the inside of the refrigerator and the heater (51) for generating smoke are sheathed heater type heaters. (7) is an oil saucer for receiving the meat juice etc. that comes out from the smoked material during smoking. , (8) is a net shelf on which the items to be smoked are placed, and is mesh-like so that the smoke can pass through. (9) is a timer device that controls the smoking time. The energization time of the heating heater (4) and the smoke generation heater (5) is limited.Figure 2 shows.

It is an enlarged perspective view of a raw smoker's heater (5) and a heat-resistant container (6) that houses the entire heater (5). Each of the smoke generation heaters (5) has a terminal αli, and this pin terminal Q
[l and the root part of the heater part are the base (6) of the heat-resistant container (6)
c) is embedded and integrally formed. This heat-resistant container (6) is made of heat-resistant insulator, and has an opening (6a) on the top surface other than the base (6C).

A smoke generation heater (5) disposed in this opening (6a)
a) (5b) (5c) There is a space between them! (S (6b) is formed, and smoking material is put into this space (6b). Also, each smoker's raw heater (5a
) (5b) (5c) ij, time 1 (5a) - + (
5b)→(5c) in order. Its circuit diagram is shown in FIG. 3, and its circuit diagram is shown in FIG. 4. When smoking with the timer device (9) fully activated, the main switch M
, the selection switch SL is turned on, and the smoke heater L (5
a) is turned on for t minutes. minutes later, the switch Sl is turned off and the heater 1 (5a) is turned off, and the switch S2 is turned on and the smoke heater 2 (5b) is turned on. After 2 minutes, the switch S2 is turned off and the heater 2 (5b) is turned off, and the switch S3 is turned on and the smoke heater 3 (5c) is turned on. Then, after 3 minutes, switch S3 is turned off and heaters (3) (5
C) is turned off.

Since the smoke heaters (5a, Occurrence is obtained.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the case where three smoke generation heaters (5) were used was explained.

There may be a plurality of smoker heaters (51), and even if the order of control of each heater is changed, there will be no problem, and the same effect as in the above embodiment will be obtained.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, since the plurality of smoke generating heaters are energized in sequence, there is little difference in the amount of smoke generated over a long period of time, and efficient smoke can be obtained.

In addition, the capacity of the smoke generating heater can be reduced.
