Abstract

PURPOSE:To cool make generated from heated wood chips with chilled air cooled by heat-exchange with a refrigerant, by detachably placing a refrigerant in a closed casing containing a smoke duct and supplying air to the refrigerant with a blower. CONSTITUTION:A refrigerant 17 is put into a cooling unit 15 through a door 20 of a chamber and the chamber 7 is closed by closing the door in the course of passing smoke through a smoke duct 8. A blower 16 is energized to effect the heat-exchange of air in the chamber 7 with the refrigerant 17 to lower the temperature of the air. The cooled air is again circulated in the chamber 7 to keep the space in the chamber 7 at a low temperature at least for several hours.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cooking device for producing smoked foods.

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 3, a conventional cooking device of this type is comprised of a refrigerator 21, a cooling coil 22, etc. as means for cooling smoke, and the smoke generated at the bottom of the main body is passed through the cooling coil. /
It was supposed to be cooled down as it passed through I/22.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, the above-mentioned configuration has the disadvantage that the cooling device has a complicated mechanism and the cooking device itself becomes extremely expensive. In other words, if it is a commercial device, the above configuration is necessary, but if it is a small-scale household facility, a simpler cooling device is sufficient.

For this reason, it is usually possible to use a coolant that is stored in a freezer or the like and taken out and used when needed.
If this is used as is, there is a risk that the cooling capacity will be insufficient.

The present invention aims to solve such conventional problems, and aims to cool smoke with a simple cooling device using a coolant and a blower.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the cooking device of the present invention includes a heating device for heating a piece of wood, a smoke pipe for guiding smoke generated from the heated piece of wood, and housing the smoke pipe. The system is completely equipped with a refrigerant that is removably provided in a sealed box body, and a blower for the refrigerant.

Function: With the above-described configuration, the present invention makes it possible to heat a piece of wood with a heating device and cool the resulting smoke with cold air that has been heat exchanged with a coolant.

Example An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the accompanying drawings.

In Fig. 1, 1 is the main body of the cooking device, and there is a heat insulating material 2 at the bottom.
, an electric heater 3 as a heating device, and a container 5 in which a piece of wood 4 is placed. Reference numeral 6 denotes a buried inlet, which communicates with a furnace 11 in which a food product 10 is placed at a smoke outlet 9 via a smoke conduit 8 provided in a meandering manner in a sealed chamber 7 . 12 and 13 are heat shield plates, and 14 is a smoke exhaust port. 1
A cooling unit 5 is provided in the chamber 7 and has a blower 16 and a coolant 17 inside. 18 is an air intake port, 1
9 is an air outlet, and 20 is a door.

To produce smoked food in the above configuration, 1° of food is placed in 1 furnace.
1, and a piece of wood 4 is placed in the container 5. When the wood chips are heated by the electric heater 3, the generated smoke enters the furnace 11 through the buried inlet 6, the smoke pipe 8, and the smoke outlet 9, and the food 1
After smoking, the smoke is discharged from the main body 1 through the smoke exhaust port 14.

Depending on the type of food 10, it is necessary to lower the temperature of the smoke to be smoked, but in this embodiment, when the smoke passes through the smoke conduit 8, the coolant 17 is installed into the cooling unit 15 through the door 20. However, when the door 20 is closed, the chamber 7 is sealed.

After this, when the blower 16 is driven, the air in the chamber 7 is heat exchanged with the coolant 17 and becomes low temperature.

Since the cooled air is recirculated without being discharged outside the chamber 7, once the coolant is installed, it is possible to keep the inside of the chamber T at a low temperature for several hours while smoking is completed.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the cooking device of the present invention provides the following effects.

(1) Since a coolant is used in the cooling device, the cost of the entire cooking device can be reduced.

(2) Since the agent is cooled in a sealed chamber and air is blown to the agent,
The chamber can be kept at a low temperature for a long time.
