Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a roasting device for skewering yakitori and the like.

(Prior art and its problems) Conventionally, when roasting skewers with pieces of meat such as yakitori, a roaster exclusively for yakitori was used, and the skewers were placed above the heater of this roaster. The skewers were roasted by hand, rotating them from time to time.

However, when roasting more than a dozen skewers at once, it is necessary to rotate each skewer one by one, which is done manually, which requires a great deal of effort on the part of the workers. This caused the body to become overcooked, reducing its value as a product.

(Purpose of the invention) This invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to be able to roast skewers without the hassle of human labor, and to avoid uneven cooking and overcooking. To provide a roasting device capable of efficiently performing skewering, especially capable of being installed on a table and allowing people facing each other to grill skewers.

(Means and effects for solving the problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a chain installed in the device body and running along the longitudinal direction of the roasting area, and a chain installed in the device body and running along the longitudinal direction of the roasting area. a traveling body traveling device for running a chain; a skewer body is removably held; the skewer body is held in a horizontal position; rolling elements are engaged with the chain; the skewer body is rotated by the running force of the chain; and the skewer body is tilted; A skewer body rotation holding assembly is provided which disengages the rolling elements from the chain, stops the rotation of the skewer body, and holds the skewer body in a tilted position, and the skewer body is rotated back and forth with the chain sandwiched between the main body of the apparatus. A grilling area is provided, a frame is provided in the main body of the apparatus along the longitudinal direction of this area, a mounting part is provided in the skewer rotation holding assembly to removably attach the skewer rotation holding assembly to the frame, and this mounting part is attached to the frame. The present invention is characterized in that a plurality of the skewer rotating and holding assemblies are detachably attached and arranged on the roasting area in the longitudinal direction of the roasting area.

Therefore, by holding the skewer body in the skewer body rotation holding assembly and keeping the skewer body in a horizontal state, the running force of the belt is transmitted to the skewer body, causing the skewer body to rotate (rotate on its own axis). A piece of meat, etc. is roasted in a heating device, and when the grilling is properly done, the skewer body is tilted to stop rotating and maintain the tilted position, and the skewer body is removed from the skewer body rotation holding assembly. You can complete skewering.

In this way, the skewers can be easily roasted, and the skewers can be efficiently grilled without uneven grilling or overcooking.

In addition, roasting areas are provided in the front and rear of the apparatus body with a chain in between, and a frame is provided in the apparatus body along the longitudinal direction of the roasting area, and the skewer rotation holding assembly can be attached to and detached from the frame. This mounting part is removably attached to the frame, and a plurality of the skewer rotation holding assemblies are arranged on the roasting area in the longitudinal direction of the roasting area. The skewer rotation holding assembly can be attached to the apparatus main body by detachably attaching the skewer body rotation holding assembly to the frame, and the skewer rotation holding assembly can be removed from the apparatus main body by removing the attachment part from the frame. Therefore, it is possible to select the number of skewer rotating and holding assemblies within a range that does not interfere with adjacent skewers in the roasting area. For example, if the roasting area is large, the number of skewer rotating and holding assemblies If the roasting area is small, the number of skewer rotation holding assemblies can be reduced, or if the roasting area is a certain size, the number of skewer rotation holding assemblies can be increased to match the size of the skewer body. The number of skewer rotating and holding assemblies can be selected.

In addition, the roasting device according to the present invention has two roasting zones in front and back with a chain in between, and each roasting zone can perform individual skewers. You can enjoy each skewer.

Press fit into. Therefore, the chuck 40 is the skewer body 4.
Grasp 3.

By holding the handle portion 43a of the skewer body 43 by hand and pushing it downward, the chuck 40 and the shaft body 39 are rotated downward. In this case, the ball 3 of the detent mechanism 31
3 is removed from the upper engagement hole 37 and the lower engagement hole 3
6, the stopper member 38 contacts the front stopper 26, and the pin 4 of the transmission rolling element 47
9 meshes with the pin protrusions 21a and 21b of the chain 12.

For this reason, the transmission rolling element 47 rotates, and this rotational force rotates the skewer body 43 via the shaft body 39 and chuck 40.

The intermediate portion of the skewer 43, ie, the piece of meat etc. a, is located above the roasting area C, and the proximal portion 43a of the skewer 43 is placed on the skewer holder G.

The pieces of meat etc. a are roasted by the rotation (very slow rotation) of the skewer body 43. When the meat pieces a are properly grilled, pinch the handle 43a of the skewer body 43 with your fingers, lift the skewer body 43, and insert the ball 33 of the detent mechanism 31 into the engagement hole 3 again.
6, the ball 33 is engaged with the upper engagement hole 37, and the shaft body 39 is positioned obliquely upward, and at the same time, the pin 49 of the transmission rolling element 47 is inserted into the chain 12.
Remove the pins from the protruding parts 21a and 21b of the skewer body 43.
stop the rotation.

Then, pull the skewer body 43 toward you and remove it from the chuck 40.

Note that if the skewer body 43 is burnt and cannot withstand being lifted, the skewer body 4 can be lifted by pushing the stopper member 38 backward by hand or with a push tool.
Pick up 3.

In the roasting apparatus according to the present invention described above, there are roasting zones C at the front and rear, and the skewers 43 can be roasted in each roasting zone C.

Therefore, the roasting apparatus is placed on a tabletop, and diners seated facing each other can individually roast skewers.

Four chuck pieces 68 constitute a cylindrical body 69, and a ring groove 70 is formed on the outer circumference of this cylindrical body 69, and a ring spring 71 is attached to this ring groove 70. .

With the spring force of this ring spring 71, each chuck piece 6
8 is closed on the insertion hole 72 side in the center.

Therefore, when the tip end portion 43' of the skewer body 43 is inserted into the insertion hole 72, each chuck piece 68 expands against the ring spring 71 and grips the skewer body 43.

Further, the transmission rolling element 47 is a gear and is fixed to the shaft body 39, and this transmission rolling element 47 directly meshes with the toothed belt 60.

Further, a guide 73 is fixedly provided on the lower surface of the frame 6 to guide the toothed belt 60 and prevent it from wobbling laterally.

As shown in FIG. 11, the skewer body rotation holding assembly E is mounted on the frame 6 with every other skewer rotated in the opposite direction, and one toothed belt 6
0, the chucks 40 exposed in the front and rear roasting areas C are driven.
