Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wok swinging device for reducing the burden of human power.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, the method of frying foods is to put a frying pan or wok on the table of a gas stove provided, heat the foods, especially the vegetables, with oil and stir them with rice scoops or chopsticks. However, in order to stir more evenly, there is a method of shaking the pot over the fire and throwing up the ingredients to fry appropriately and inverting it, and the wok used for this is a wok with a round bottom, almost all Cooks use this method. In general households, woks are also used for stir-fry, but it is necessary to get used to turning the woks while frying the woks over the fire when frying. It requires a lot of human power to move heavy. In addition, the stronger the heat, the more delicious the ingredients can be fried, so the person who cooks is exposed to the heat.

When frying foodstuffs, the portion that comes into contact with the inner bottom of the pan is heated most strongly, so in order to heat the foodstuffs evenly, it is necessary to invert the foodstuffs to be cooked little by little. There is no fixed method for each person who cooks, but generally, they shake the pot horizontally on the fire and throw the ingredients to fry while watching the heating condition. At this time, if you simply throw it up, the ingredients to fry will not be inverted. The reason that the bottom of the wok has a large roundness is to facilitate this inversion. In addition, when inverting foods to be fried, the foods to be fried should be accelerated sufficiently with a large swing width compared to the swing width that is shaken in the horizontal direction when heating, and then the swinging direction of the pan should be changed. When switching to a substantially vertical direction, the ingredients to be fried by inertia rotate along the inner surface of the pot, and then the pot moves in the vertical direction, so that the entire ingredients to be fried rotate and float in the air. Naturally, the stir-fry foods that fall in the air will fall, so catch them with a pan. It will fall to the center.

As described above, when the food is cooked by frying it in a pan, it is necessary to stand in front of the fire and shake the pan without releasing the pan. If you try to do it, you need a lot of effort and concentration. In particular, vegetables have a better taste when sautéed at a high temperature, and even if the amount of ingredients to be added to the pan is too large, it cannot be heated in a short time.

[0005]

The problem to be solved is to provide a device for reducing the labor during cooking and preventing the stir-frying of foodstuffs, and a wok capable of safely inverting foodstuffs. It is to be.

[0006]

According to the present invention, a means for supporting a wok for stir-frying food so as to be swingable above the crater is provided, and one side of the pot can be accelerated upward in conjunction with the swing motion. By doing so, the ingredients to be fried are inverted.

The table on which the wok is fixed and / or placed has a structure in which it is pivotally supported using a fulcrum and a swing rod.

The member for directly supporting the wok is slidable, or is placed on a member for facilitating the wobbling of the wok such as turning so that the wok is rockably supported.

Further, the wok is easily rocked by disposing a roller on a table for fixing and / or mounting the wok and moving it on the rail.

The rail is composed of a straight line portion and a curved portion, and one side of the wok is rapidly moved upward following the wobbling of the wok so that the food to be fried is thrown up.

A spring is provided as an auxiliary means for abruptly moving one side of the wok to the upper side, and the force of expanding the spring after compressing the spring is used.

In addition to this, the table swingably supported is swung by a cam mechanism for automation.

It is intended to provide a cooking table having a crater, which is detachably provided by fixing the above-mentioned rocking device or by fitting a part of the rocking device with an appropriate hole.

Furthermore, in order to safely invert the food, the food can be inverted more safely by using a wok with a protruding portion at a part such as the front side and / or the back side of the upper edge of the pan. be able to.

Further, by curving the projecting portion toward the center of the pan, the food can be inverted more easily.
