The seating portion 32 is formed of a groove corresponding to the shape of the pipe burner 20 and substantially makes line contact with the circumferential surface of the pipe burner 20. At this time, the recess 33 is formed at the position in contact with the gas hole 22 so that the seating part 32 does not block the gas hole 22 of the pipe burner 20. In fact, when the pipe burner 20 is ignited, the flame is sequentially ignited in the longitudinal direction of the pipe burner 20 through the plurality of gas holes 22. Thus, the recess 33 is for preventing the sequential ignition of the flame when igniting the pipe burner 20.

The seating part 32 is provided with a charcoal arrangement part 34. The charcoal arranging portion 34 substantially connects the seating portions 32 placed at both ends of the pipe burner 20 to each other, and the pipe burner 20 when the seating portion 32 is seated on the pipe burner 20. It is located slightly spaced upwards. Charcoal arranging portion 34 has a 'V' shaped groove is formed in the upper portion, provides a charcoal arranging area for seating the charcoal on the upper portion. The 'V'-shaped groove prevents the charcoal placed on top of it from rolling or falling randomly. In addition, the charcoal arranging portion 34 has extension portions 34a extending inclined downward from both sides. The extension part 34a becomes wider toward the lower part, and extends outward from the gas hole 22 of the pipe burner 20 by a predetermined distance. Such an extended portion 34a covers the upper portion of the gas hole 22 of the pipe burner 20, thereby preventing impurities such as ash from entering the gas hole 22. Of course, since the extended portion 34a is placed at a position spaced upward from the gas hole 22 by a predetermined distance, the extension portion 34a does not block the gas injected obliquely from the gas hole 22 to the side portion.

Therefore, in the charcoal pedestal 30, the gas flow for moving the gas supplied from the gas hole 22 to the charcoal placed on the charcoal arrangement part 34 at the position where the gas hole 22 of the pipe burner 20 is disposed. A path is formed. This gas flow path causes the gas hole 22 of the pipe burner 20 to be exposed toward the charcoal when the seat 32 is seated on the pipe burner 20.

At this time, the charcoal pedestal 30 may further include partitions 36 and 38 that block both sides of the charcoal in order to more stably maintain the charcoal placed on the charcoal arranging portion 34. The partitions 36 and 38 are coupled to the seating part 32 and connect the seating parts 32 provided at both ends of the charcoal pedestal 30 similarly to the seating part 32. The partitions 36 and 38 form both side walls of the charcoal pedestal 30, and extend further up by a predetermined height than the charcoal placement portion 34. Accordingly, the partitions 36 and 38 prevent the charcoal placed on the charcoal arranging portion 34 from randomly leaving the charcoal pedestal 30.

The lower ends of the partition walls 36 and 38 are horizontal parts 36a and 38a extending inwardly by a predetermined length, and bent parts 36b and 38b bent upward from the inner ends of the horizontal parts 36a and 38a. ). The bent portions 36b and 38b abut the sides of the pipe burner 20 when the charcoal pedestal 30 is seated on the pipe burner 20, which is a coupling between the charcoal pedestal 30 and the pipe burner 20. The structure becomes more stable.

At this time, the air flow hole 37 is formed in one of the partition walls 36 above. The air flow hole 37 allows the air supplied from the air supply unit to be described later to be moved toward the charcoal placed on the charcoal arrangement unit 34.

In addition, the other partition 38 may be provided with a handle 39 that the user can hold by hand. The shape or installation method of the handle 39 may be implemented in various ways, and is not particularly limited.

The cooking apparatus 1 of the present invention includes an air supply unit for supplying air to the charcoal placed on the charcoal support 30 described above. The air supply unit may use any kind of air that can form a constant air flow on the charcoal placed on the charcoal support (30). In this embodiment, the air supply pipe 40 is used as the air supply unit.

The air supply pipe 40 is installed at a position spaced apart by a predetermined distance in the lateral direction of the charcoal pedestal 30 to supply air toward the charcoal 50 placed on the charcoal pedestal 30 (see FIG. 6). To this end, the air supply pipe 40 is formed with a plurality of air discharge holes 42 in the direction toward the charcoal pedestal (30). The lateral air flow supplied from the air supply pipe 40 to the charcoal pedestal 30 serves to increase the fire power of the charcoal because it continuously supplies oxygen to the charcoal 50.

The installation position of the air supply pipe 40 is selected as a position that can provide the lateral air flow to the charcoal support 30, in this embodiment the air supply pipe in the space between the outer housing 12 and the inner housing 14 40 is installed. At this time, since the inner housing 14 is placed between the air supply pipe 40 and the charcoal pedestal 30, the inner housing 14 has charcoal from the air discharge hole 42 at a position corresponding to the air discharge hole 42. The communication hole 16 is formed so that air flows into the 50. Therefore, the air discharged from the air discharge hole 42 of the air supply pipe 40 is directed to the charcoal support 30 through the communication hole 16 of the inner housing 14. At this time, since the air flow hole 37 is formed in the partition 36 of the charcoal pedestal 30, the air passes through the air flow hole 37 to face the charcoal placed in the charcoal arrangement 34.

In addition, the enclosure 10 is provided with a blower 44 for generating an air flow to be supplied to the air supply pipe 40, the blower 44 and the air supply pipe 40 is connected to each other through the air supply path 46. .

Referring to the operation of the charcoal ignition device according to the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

First, the user fixes the charcoal pedestal 30 at a predetermined position in the enclosure 10, ie, on top of the pipe burner 20. At this time, the charcoal pedestal 30 is fixed to the front and rear inner walls in the housing 10, the seating portion 32 of the charcoal pedestal 30 is seated on the pipe burner 20. In addition, the gas hole 22 of the pipe burner 20 is externally provided through the space between the charcoal arranging portion 34 and the partition walls 36 and 38, that is, the space between the extension portion 34a and the vertical portion 36b. The extension portion 34a covers the upper portion of the gas hole 22 at a position spaced apart from the gas hole 22 upward by a predetermined distance.

Thereafter, the user puts the unignitioned charcoal on the charcoal arranging portion 34 of the charcoal pedestal 30 and ignites the gas burner while supplying gas to the pipe burner 20 using a separate switch.

Gas is supplied from the gas supply part 24 to the pipe burner 20, and the gas is ignited in all the gas holes 22 sequentially from the gas hole in which the spark plug is arrange | positioned. At this time, since the recess 33 is formed at a position in contact with the gas hole 22 in the seating portion 32 of the charcoal pedestal 30, even if the spark plug is disposed outside the charcoal pedestal 30, the sequential ignition of the gas is performed. Does not disturb.

When the gas is ignited, a flame is formed between the charcoal arranging portion 34 and the partition walls 36 and 38 by the gas injected into the upper side through the space between the charcoal arranging portion 34 and the partition walls 36 and 38. . The flames are merged to the center while heading upward, thereby igniting the charcoal 50 while completely enclosing the charcoal 50 placed on the charcoal arrangement 34.

At this time, the ignition of the charcoal 50, or at the same time after the ignition of the charcoal 50, the user operates a separate switch to inject air toward the charcoal (50). When the user operates the switch, the blower 44 is driven to supply air to the air supply pipe 40, which is the air discharge hole 42 of the air supply pipe 40 and the communication hole 16 of the inner housing 14. And through the air flow hole 37 of the partition wall 36 is laterally sprayed toward the bottom of the charcoal 50, preferably charcoal 50.

The air injected laterally toward the charcoal 50 supplies oxygen to the fired region of the charcoal 50 to promote combustion of the charcoal 50 to provide more excellent thermal power. In particular, when the charcoal placed on the charcoal pedestal 30 is large, air is supplied to the lower portion of the charcoal 50, and when the lower portion of the charcoal is completely burned to ash, the char is collapsed by its own weight and the unburned portion of the air is injected. Placed in the zone, the char can be burned with high efficiency by the injection air. In addition, in the conventional charcoal roaster, carbon monoxide was generated due to incomplete combustion of the charcoal, but the charcoal ignition device of the present invention has a flame and combustion gas by the pipe burner 20 so as to surround the charcoal 50 so that the hot surface is hot on the running surface of the smoke. By continuously supplying combustion gas, it is possible to completely burn carbon monoxide which may occur during the ignition of char. That is, the charcoal ignition device of the present invention has the advantage that the smoke proceeds because the combustion temperature of the char is maintained at a sufficiently high temperature, but does not generate carbon monoxide.

In addition, since the extending portion 34a of the charcoal arranging portion 34 covers the upper portion of the gas hole 22 of the pipe burner 20 at a position separated by a predetermined distance, ash or charcoal generated while the charcoal 50 is burned. Impurities such as debris do not flow into the gas hole 22 and flow out of the pipe burner 20. Therefore, even if the pipe burner 20 is not used while the charcoal 50 is combusted, the gas hole 22 is not blocked or contaminated, thereby making it easier to manage the pipe burner 20.

As described above, although the present invention has been described by way of limited embodiments and drawings, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the technical spirit of the present invention and the following will be understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. Various modifications and variations are possible, of course, within the scope of equivalents of the claims to be described.

Such charcoal ignition device of the present invention has the advantage of preventing the blowing of ash and burning all the charcoal by supplying the lateral air toward the charcoal when the charcoal ignition using a pipe burner.

In addition, the charcoal ignition device of the present invention forms a flame to surround the char disposed on the pipe burner by forming two or more rows of gas holes in the pipe burner, there is an effect that does not discharge toxic gas, the lateral air By directing the lower part of the charcoal, when the lower part of the charcoal is completely burned to ash, other parts of the char are placed in the injection air area by its own weight, which has the advantage of burning all the disposed charcoal.

Therefore, the roasting machine of the present invention can fundamentally prevent the generation of toxic gas when burning charcoal, and can freely select food fixing means such as grill or grill, and do not undermine the smoke effect, which is one of the main purposes of the charcoal grill. It has the advantage of being able to ignite charcoal on its own.
