Description

Charcoal storage box {APPARATUS FOR STORING BURNING CHARCOAL}

The present invention relates to a charcoal fire storage box capable of safely storing charcoal fire used when cooking or cooking meat, or effectively adsorbing dust such as ash and soot generated from the charcoal fire.

Typically, when meat is cooked or grilled over charcoal fire, the radiant heat from the charcoal fire creates a thin film on the outer surface of the meat, traps the juice, and the meat grilled over charcoal is the most juicy and tender.

In addition, charcoal fires emit about four times more infrared or far-infrared rays than gas fires. Infrared or far-infrared rays burn the surface of meat quickly and evenly so that it does not lose its flavor and cooks the outside and inside of meat at the same time. Reduces the loss of juice and improves the texture of the meat.

Because of the above advantages, charcoal fire is widely used when cooking or grilling meat.

However, since charcoal burned once can be recycled until it is completely burned, the need for a storage box capable of temporarily storing charcoal burned once for recycling is increasing.

However, since charcoal fires cause many problems, such as ash and soot, which are generated during combustion, pollute the surrounding air, deteriorate the environment of restaurants, etc., and cause harmful effects on the human body, they must be temporarily stored for recycling of charcoal fires. In this case, there is a need to propose a new technology for a charcoal storage box to effectively adsorb the dust and further prevent a fire caused by charcoal fire.

The charcoal container may be drawn in and out of the second storage unit 120 opened by the inside. In addition, according to another embodiment, the second door 122 may slide forward or rearward like a drawer to open and close one surface of the second storage unit 120.

On the other hand, the receiving units 110 and 120 according to an embodiment of the present invention support the charcoal container on the bottom surface and at the same time allow the dust generated from the charcoal container to fall into the reservoir 130 located below ( A bottom plate 115 may be included.

2 is a view showing the bottom plate of the receiving unit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Figure 2, the bottom surface of the storage unit (110, 120) is made of a net as described above, and dust can fall down, and the fallen dust is a storage unit located under the charcoal storage box (100). It can be led to 130 and adsorbed to the stored water. In this way, the dust adsorbed by the water stored in the water storage unit 130 may no longer float inside and/or outside the charcoal storage box 100 to contaminate the surrounding air or adversely affect the human body.

At this time, the mesh size of the reticulated bottom plate 115 is not particularly limited, but is preferably larger than the mesh size of the filter plate 140 to be described later.

Since it is filtered so that it does not fall, large-sized dust does not fall directly into the water stored in the water storage unit 130 and blocks it, so that the inside of the charcoal storage box 100, especially the charcoal in the charcoal container, is There is an effect that can prevent it from getting wet.

At this time, the mesh size of the sieve 142 is preferably smaller than the mesh size of the bottom plate 115, as described above. Even if the mesh size of the sieve 142 is small, this does not affect the air flowability in the charcoal storage box 100. This is because the air flowability in the charcoal storage box 100 relates to the interior of the receiving portions 110 and 120 disposed on the filter plate 140, as shown in FIG. 4.

That is, as will be described later, the first and second vents 112 and 121 formed with a plurality of perforations through which outside air flows in and out in order to generate a natural convection phenomenon in the storage units 110 and 120 are provided only in the storage units 110 and 120.

By blocking the floating dust, the floating dust can be dropped in the direction of the water storage unit 130.

A plurality of partition walls 117a to 117c in the receiving portions 110 and 120 may be installed to be spaced apart from each other, and at this time, the plurality of partition walls 117a to 117c may be formed to have the same height, but preferably a plurality of partition walls ( It may be formed such that the lengths h1 to h3 extending downward from the 117a to 117c are different, that is, the heights h1 to h3 of the plurality of partition walls 117a to 117c are not the same.

When the partition walls 117a to 117c of different heights are installed on the upper part of the receiving units 110 and 120, they are divided into different heights from the charcoal container regardless of the height of the dust floating in the receiving units 110 and 120. Dust may fall into the water storage unit 130.

Meanwhile, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the installation direction of the partition walls 117a to 117c is not particularly limited, but the natural convection in the charcoal storage box 100 formed by the first and second ventilation holes 112 and 121 In consideration of the direction, as shown in FIG. 5, it is preferable that they are arranged side by side in a direction that blocks the flow of air flowing in and out through the first and second ventilation holes 112 and 121.

However, since the plurality of partition walls 117a to 117c can block the flow of air naturally convective in the receiving units 110 and 120, in order to solve this problem, the flow of air in the receiving units 110 and 120 is reduced. It is preferable that the partition walls 117a to 117c are formed with at least one slit S1 to S6 through which air can flow in and out so as not to block them.
