Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a miniaturized and light-weight apparatus for the cooling of smoke, by cooling a smoke duct with a detachable refrigerant. CONSTITUTION:A blower 16 is energized in the course of passing smoke through a smoke duct 7, air sucked through an air inlet 14 is cooled with a refrigerant and smoke is cooled via the smoke duct 7. The air used for the cooling of the smoke duct 7 is exhausted via the blower 16 and an air outlet 17. The refrigerant 15 is usually separated from the main body 1 and refrigerated in a freezer, etc. It is taken out of the freezer and attached to the main body 1 in the case of lowering the temperature of smoke for the smoking of a food.

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. 2, a conventional cooking device of this type is composed of a refrigerator 18, a cooling coil 19, etc. as means for cooling smoke, and the smoke generated at the bottom of the main body is transferred to the cooling coil/ L
By the time I passed '19, I was able to cool it down completely.

However, the above-mentioned configuration has the disadvantage that the cooling device has a complicated mechanism and the cooking device itself inevitably becomes expensive. That is, if it is a device for business use, the above-mentioned configuration is necessary, but even though a simpler cooling device would be sufficient for a small-scale home-use facility, there has been no suitable one until now.

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

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 conduit for guiding smoke generated from the heated piece of wood, and a cooling of the smoke conduit. It is equipped with a structure consisting of a removable coolant.

Function: With the above-described configuration, the present invention makes it possible to cool the smoke by heating a piece of wood with a heating device and cooling the generated smoke 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, with a heat insulating material 2 at the bottom,
An electric heater 3 as a heating device and a box 5 in which a piece of wood 4 is placed are provided. Reference numeral 6 denotes a buried inlet, and a smoke outlet 8 passes through a meandering smoke conduit 7 to a furnace 1 in which food 9 is installed.
0, 12 is a heat shield plate, and 13 is a smoke exhaust port. 14 is an air suction port, 15 is a removably housed coolant, 16 is a blower, and 17 is an air outlet.

To produce smoked food in the above configuration, the food 9 is placed in the furnace 10 and the wood pieces 4 are placed in the box 5.

When a piece of wood is heated by the electric heater 3, the generated smoke enters the furnace 10 via the buried inlet 6, the smoke pipe 7, and the smoke outlet 8, smokes the food 9, and then passes through the smoke outlet 13 to the main body 1. Expelled outside.

Depending on the type of food 9, it is necessary to lower the temperature of the smoke to be smoked, but in this embodiment, when the smoke passes through the smoke pipe 7, the blower 16 is driven and the smoke is sucked in through the air intake port 4. When the air comes in contact with the coolant 15ζ, heat is exchanged and the temperature becomes low, making it possible to cool the smoke through the smoke conduit 7.

Note that the air that has cooled the smoke pipe 7 is blown out of the main body via the blower 16 and the air outlet 17. The coolant 15 is usually separated from the main body 1, frozen in a freezer, etc., and taken out and attached to the main body 1 when producing smoked food. As a household appliance where the amount of food is small, it is possible to sufficiently cool smoke with a simple cooling device like the one in this embodiment.

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

(1) Since a refrigerant is used in the cooling device, the cost of the entire cooking device is low.

(2) Since a coolant is used in the cooling device, the structure of the device is simple and can be made smaller and lighter.
