Description

Lift roaster device {Roaster}

The present invention relates to a roaster device which is used by descending from the ceiling of a room.

It is familiar with the western-style kitchen culture in which modern people sit on a dining table and eat food on the table. In addition, the westernization of eating habits has increased the consumption of meat per capita by nearly four times in the last 30 years, and the roasted culture of cooking methods is widely used in restaurants and homes.

The manner in which the meat is roasted on the hot plate can be distinguished by the heat source used. In general, it is common to use charcoal or fuel gas. In recent years, an infrared grill (or infrared grill) has been put on the market in which food is cooked by radiation heat using an infrared lamp.

The infrared grill has various advantages such that it can be easily grasped by the user since the grill is cooked from the upper part of the meat exposed to the infrared rays without directly heating the plate.

However, since the conventional infrared grill requires an upper structure for securing a proper height of an infrared lamp positioned on a fireplace, from a lower structure supporting the fireplace, the size of the infrared structure is considerable and heavy. Therefore, when it is put on a table, it is inconvenient because the height difference from a common bowl is large.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the configuration, functions, and functions of an elevating roaster device according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted, however, that the drawing numbers for the same or similar components throughout the drawings and embodiments shall be used collectively.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of the specification, illustrate embodiments of the invention and, therefore, are not to be construed as limiting the technical spirit of the invention. It is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited by any of the details of the description to those skilled in the art from the standpoint of a person skilled in the art that any or all of the drawings shown in the drawings are not necessarily the shape,

1 to 4 relate to an elevating roaster device according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

The elevator roaster device 100 according to the first embodiment includes a structure 10, a guide portion 20, an infrared ray radiating portion 30, and a driving portion 40. Further, in an additional configuration that can be omitted, it may further include a dining table.

The structure 10 is a structure installed in a ceiling of a room, and is composed of three-dimensional woven frames 11, a plate 12 forming a layer, and the like. Further, a casing may be further provided which forms an external shape.

The structure 10 may be installed so as to be embedded in the ceiling C or exposed under the ceiling C according to the embodiment. In the first and second embodiments, the structure 10 is embedded in the ceiling C, and in the third embodiment, the structure 10 is joined under the ceiling C. The structure 10 may include fixing means (not shown) such as an anchor for fixing to the ceiling.

The guide portion 20 is connected to the structure 10 and is a member for guiding linear motion in the vertical direction. The upper end of the guide portion 20 is tightly coupled to the frame or plate 12 of the structure 10 and supports the load of the infrared radiation portion 30 connected to the lower portion of the guide portion 20.

In the illustrated embodiment, the guide portion 20 includes a plurality of hollow bodies 21 having different cross-sectional areas. The hollow bodies 21 are stacked in order of sectional area, then slid down and sequentially drawn out, so that the entire length of the guide portion 20 is expanded and contracted.

In addition, since a hollow body 21 having a small cross-sectional area is slidably expanded and contracted in any hollow body 21, linear motion is possible. The stretchable configuration of the hollow bodies 21 may be substantially the same as that of the so-called rod antenna.

The lower portion of the guide portion 20 is coupled with an infrared ray radiating portion 30 that emits infrared rays downward. The infrared ray radiating part 30 is supplied with electric power and radiates infrared rays to the lower part, thereby heating and cooking food placed under the infrared ray radiating part 30.

Specifically, the infrared radiation unit 30 includes an outer case 31, a heat radiation case 32, and a heat source unit 33. The outer case (31) has a substantially cylindrical shape with a bottom open. The heat dissipation case 32 is located inside the outer case 31 and is spaced apart from the inner surface of the outer case 31. The outer casing (31) and the radiating casing (32) have a double structure.

The outer appearance case 31 is designed with an emphasis on design elements and can have various shapes depending on the design. The heat dissipation case 32 is located between the heat source unit 33 located inside and the outer case 31 so that the heat of the heat source unit 33 is prevented from reaching the outer case 31 directly. The heat dissipation case 32 prevents the external case 31 from being heated to a high temperature due to the heat of the heat source 33, thereby reducing the risk of burning the user in contact with the appearance case 31.

The heat source unit 33 includes an infrared lamp 331 exposed downward. The heat source unit 33 has a structure for holding the infrared lamp 331, and electronic components such as a ballast can be further installed if necessary. Alternatively, heavy electronic components such as ballasts may be installed in ceiling-mounted structures.

The electric wire for operation of the infrared lamp is drawn out from the winder 332 in the structure 10, and the electric wire is connected to the heat source portion through the inside of the guide portion. The winder 332 elastically winds the electric wire corresponding to the change of the height of the infrared ray radiating part, and is the same as the known configuration.

At least one infrared lamp 331 is provided in the heat source unit 33, and the number of the infrared lamps 331 can be determined according to need in designing. Also, a plurality of infrared lamps may be radially disposed or a plurality of donut-shaped ring types having different diameters.

The operation of the heat source unit 33 may be controlled in stages so that the user can control the amount of infrared radiation radiated by a proper operation.

On the other hand, the driving unit 40 provides power for raising and lowering the infrared ray radiating unit 30.

In the illustrated embodiment, the driving unit 40 includes a motor 41 that provides a rotational force, a sprocket 42 that is coupled to the rotational shaft of the motor 41, a directional switch that is placed at the center top of the hollow body 21 of the guide unit 20, And a chain 44 passing through the inside of the hollow body 21 of the guide portion via the pulley 43 for the spool 42 and the pulley 43 and having an end connected to the infrared radiation portion 30. As a result, the chain (44) is wound or unwound as the motor (41) rotates to raise or lower the infrared radiation part (30).

The motor 41, the sprocket 42, the pulley 43 and the like are installed in the structure 10. As the chain 44 is rolled up, the extra chain 44 is housed in a separate basket 45. The driving unit 40 using the chain 44 has an advantage that the height of the infrared radiation unit 30 can be precisely set without slip through the rotation control of the motor 41. [ The height control of the infrared radiation portion 30 will be described later in detail.

The driving unit 40 can be variously changed. For example, a wire can be used instead of a chain, in which case a spindle that winds the wire in place of the sprocket can be used. As such, the driver may be replaced by various lift and elevation actuation means that are installed on the structure and raise or lower the infrared radiating portion located at a lower height.

The operation of the driving unit 40 can be controlled by a wired or wireless controller (not shown). These controllers can also control the operation of the infrared radiating part.

The wired controller may be installed so as to be embedded in a wall surface of a kitchen or the like equipped with a lift roaster device. The wireless controller can be installed at the table or provided by a remote controller. When the driving unit is controlled by the wireless controller, a wireless receiving module is additionally installed in the driving unit.

When a wireless controller is installed on the table or a remote controller is provided, a safety switch can be additionally provided in association with the wireless controller. The safety switch may be fixed to a wall or the like of a height not reachable to a child's hand, and the wireless controller or the like may be activated after the operation of the safety switch.

In a further configuration, the elevating roaster device according to the first embodiment further includes a frame portion 50 and a lighting means 60.

The frame portion 50 is connected to an upper end portion of the structure body 10 and extends in a lower portion with the guide portion 20 inside.

In the illustrated embodiment, the frame portion 50 is a hexahedron in which the guide portion 20 passes vertically through the hollow portion. Although not shown, the frame part is connected to the upper end of the structure, and the guide part can be changed in various forms. For example, the frame portion may be a sphere, a cylinder, a polyhedron, or the like formed with a through hole through which the guide portion passes.

On the outer peripheral surface of the frame portion 50, an illuminating means 60 is mounted. The illuminating means 60 is supplied with power from an electric wire provided from the ceiling C, and various known lamps such as an LED bulb can be used. The lighting means 60 mounted on the frame portion 50 can be used as a main or auxiliary lamp in the kitchen where the elevating roaster device 100 is installed.

The frame portion 50 and the lighting means 60 provide a new interior element of the kitchen equipped with the elevator roaster device 100 and can replace the conventional table lighting.

Further, in a further optional configuration, a table 80 and a plate 90 detachably coupled to the table 80 are included.

The dining table 80 is provided with an upper plate 81 and a dining table leg 82, and the shape can be variously changed.

A mounting hole 811 having a plurality of inner diameters is formed in the upper plate 81 of the dining table 80. The mounting hole 811 is formed to penetrate the upper plate 81.

The flat plate 90 is mounted on the mounting hole 811 and has a roughened surface 911 corresponding to an irradiation area of infrared rays radiated from the infrared ray radiating part 30. [ The area of the roughened surface 911 is formed to be larger than the irradiation area of the infrared lamp 331 provided in the heat source unit so that the infrared rays irradiated at the spaced distance are introduced into the roughened surface, &Lt; / RTI >

Specifically, the flat plate 90 includes a roasting plate portion 91 forming a roughened surface 911, and a latching jaw portion 92 extending to a lower portion of the roasting plate portion and hooked to the edge of the mounting hole 811.

The hooking jaw portion 92 is caught by the step of the mounting hole 811 so that the roasting plate portion 91 is installed so as to be spaced apart from the upper plate.

It is possible to prevent discoloration of the top plate due to heat conduction to the table top plate 81 in accordance with the heat of the roasting plate portion 91 by placing the roast plate portion 91 heated by infrared rays higher than the top plate 81 of the table . Further, the roast plate portion 91 can be positioned at a level equal to or slightly higher than the height of the other tableware set on the table, so that the user can take food that has reached the table at a comfortable height.

The oil pan 83 is formed on the porcelain plate 90 and the oil pan 83 for receiving and storing the foreign matter falling from the oil drop hole 93 is detachably mounted on the back surface of the table top plate 81 . Here, the oil pan 83 can be configured to be drawn out by a drawer.

The oil drop hole 93 can be formed to penetrate through the roasting plate portion 91 and the latching jaw portion 92. The foreign matter such as oil that comes out of the food through the oil drop hole 93 is discharged to the lower side of the mounting hole 811 And collected by the oil pan 83. After cleaning the oil pan (83) after the food is cooked, it is possible to cleanly clean it.

On the other hand, when the grill is not cooked, the plate 90 can be separated from the upper plate 81, and the lid 84 can be covered with the mounting hole 811. The lid 84 is placed in a mounting hole 811 formed in a multi-stage to provide a flat upper plate 81. This can be used as a normal dining table.

Fig. 4 relates to height control of the infrared ray radiating part 30 by the driving part 40. Fig.

In setting up the lift roaster device 100 according to the present invention, some meaningful infrared radiation height setting values are shown in relation to the operation of the infrared radiation portion 30. [

The elevation control of the infrared ray radiating section 30 is based on the roughened surface 911 of the pan plate 90 provided on the table. The maximum descending length determines the minimum height L1 (for example, 4 cm) of the roughened surface 911 and the infrared ray radiating part 30 so that the operation of the driving part 40 is controlled by the infrared ray radiating part 30 Quot;) < / RTI > This can be input as a set value of the control program.

On the other hand, the automatic power shutoff control of the infrared ray radiating part 30 can be performed through the control of the operable height of the infrared ray radiating part 30.

When the infrared radiating part 30 rises above a certain height, there is a risk of burns because the user's hand or arm enters between the fire plate 90 and the heat source part. Also, the radiant heat of the irradiated infrared rays is rapidly lowered as the distance from the plate 90 increases, and the effect of baking the food on the plate 90 is very poor. Therefore, when the infrared ray radiating part 30 rises above the predetermined height L2 from the roughened surface 911, it is necessary to cut off the operation of the infrared ray radiating part, that is, the power source of the heat source part.

On the other hand, even when the infrared ray radiating part 30 is too close to the hot plate, a problem due to excessive heating may occur. This can be solved by setting the maximum falling length limit of the above-described infrared ray radiating part.

The power supply to the infrared ray radiating part 30 can be set to be performed only within a predetermined set height L2 (for example, 20 cm) from the maximum falling length of the infrared ray radiating part 30. Here, the predetermined set height L2 may be preset according to the specification of the infrared lamp provided in the heat source unit.

5 to 6 relate to the elevating roaster device 100 according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

The elevating roaster device 100 according to the second embodiment includes the structure 10, the guide portion 20, the infrared ray radiating portion 30 and the driving portion 40, The technical characteristics of the above-described embodiment can be directly included within the scope of not being in conflict with each other.

The second embodiment includes a housing 70 connected to the structure 10 and the raised infrared radiation portion 30 is housed in the housing 70 and is not exposed to the outside.

The housing 70 is connected to the structure 10 and the guide portion 20 passes through the empty space of the housing 70. Since the upper end portion of the housing 90 surrounds the guide portion 20, the upper portion of the guide portion 20 is not observed from the outside.

A door 71 that can be opened and closed and an opening and closing operation portion 72 for opening and closing the door 71 are provided in the opened lower portion of the housing 70. The opening and closing operation portion 72 is interlocked with the driving portion 40 and is opened when the infrared radiation portion 30 stored therein is lowered and is controlled to close when it is housed.

The opening and closing operation portion 72 can be variously changed in addition to the illustrated link and the driving motor for rotating the link. For example, the opening and closing operation portion can open the door in a sliding manner.

A lighting means 60 is provided around the lower end of the housing 70. The lighting means 60 is placed on the table and is utilized as a table lighting.

Further, the door 71 may be provided with an illumination means 60. The lighting means 60 provided on the door can be controlled to be lit only when the door is closed. The lighting means 60 provided on the door 71 is used as a dining light together with the lighting means 60 around the lower end of the housing 70.

The housing 70 accommodates the infrared radiation portion 30 so as not to be exposed to the outside, thereby improving the kitchen interior. Particularly, by changing the shape of the housing 70, the type of the lighting means 60, the arrangement position, and the like, various modifications of the interior are possible.

7 to 8 relate to a lifting roaster device according to a third embodiment of the present invention.

The elevating roaster device 100 according to the third embodiment includes the structure 10, the guide portion 20, the infrared ray radiating portion 30 and the driving portion 40, It is to be understood that the technical characteristics of the above-described embodiments may be included as long as they do not conflict with each other.

In the third embodiment, the structure 10 is exposed at the bottom of the ceiling C. The structure may be suspended and fixed to the lower part of the ceiling finishing plate when the distance between the ceiling finishing plate and the concrete casting layer is insufficient.

The housing 70 includes the structure 10 inside and the plate 12 inside the structure is positioned close to the ceiling C and the hollow bodies 21 of the overlapped guide part 20 and the infrared radiation part 30 can be housed in the housing 70. The door 71 of the housing 70 is closed so that the infrared radiation portion 30 is not exposed to the outside.

The lighting means 60 is positioned so as not to interfere with the opening and closing of the door 71 and the lighting means 60 can be mounted on the door 71 although not shown.

The elevating roaster device according to the embodiments of the present invention allows the user to grill at the table through the infrared ray radiating part from the ceiling to give the user a different feeling. The discomfort due to the height of the dish is eliminated because the dish at the table is installed at almost the same height as the dish around the dish.

In addition, it is possible to control the height of the infrared radiation part, so it is possible to cook various foods according to the user's preference, such as quick cooking of the dish or baking on the surface.

In addition, when the lighting means is provided together, it can be used as a table lighting instead of the conventional lighting, thereby increasing the utility as an interior.
