Description

Forced Water Circulation-Type Roaster

(Technology)

The present invention relates to a roaster, and more particularly, to a forced water-circulating roaster that can reduce food sticking, burning or smoke caused by the heated platen by cooling by forced circulation of water in the platen.

(Background)

As a cooking utensil for cooking various dishes such as meat, various kinds of roasters made to enable charcoal roasting and the like are widely used in restaurants. One of the inconveniences of using these roasters is that the food sticks to the fire and burns and smokes.

As a countermeasure to solve this inconvenience, a method of coating a special material on the plate is most commonly applied.

In addition, some roasters, such as Korean Utility Model Registration No. 290897 (announced on October 4, 2002), intended to solve the inconvenience by cooling the plate by inducing water to naturally convection by filling the plate with water. In the case of the conventional water circulation roaster (or plate), the water circulation is not smooth, and thus the cooling effect by the actual water circulation is not achieved.

An object of the present invention, as described above, to solve the problems associated with the conventional roaster, to minimize the food sticking to the fire plate or smoke in the ride.

These grills 44 are made of a pipe member hollow 44A to allow water to pass therethrough, so that water that has flowed into the water inflow space 42 flows into the water discharge space 43 through the grills 44. Goes.

In the illustrated embodiment, although the example of the circular plate 40 is shown as a circular, it can be applied to other shapes such as square.

According to the characteristic structures of the water tank 20, the pump 30, and the fire plate 40 as described above, the water of the water tank 20 continuously operates to circulate the fire plate 40 at high speed by the operation of the pump 30. The raised grills 44 are constantly cooled by the water circulating therein, so that the food is cooked only by the fire coming from below and is not cooked by the grilled grills 44. The grilles 44 of the fire plate 40 are not pressed.

Preferably, the grills 44 of the bull plate 40 are inclined to be lowered toward the farther away from the edge 41, as shown in FIG. 3 or 4, so that the center of the grill plate 44 forms the lowest point LP. Have The grill 44 of the grill plate is lowered toward the center in such a way that oil (fluid DR) which flows down from the food and falls on the grill 44 is collected along the grill 44 to the center and falls down from the center. .

The thermal power of the charcoal 2 or the like injected into the roaster 1 of the present invention so as to conform to the structure in which oil is dropped from the central side of the grill 44 is to be injected into both sides while leaving the center empty. Method is preferable, and the center can be equipped with a sump barrel (3) for receiving the dropped oil.

The guide plate 50 is placed on the bottom of the grill 44 so that the oil flowing down the grill 44 flows well to the lowest point LP without falling in the middle and falls well to the sump container 3. I can attach it.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the guide plate 50 is a plate-shaped member attached to the bottom surface of the grill 44. The oil flowing along the grill 44 according to the action of the guide plate 50 is Since it flows in contact with the larger area of the grill 44 and the guide plate 50, it falls to the oil sump 3 without falling in the middle by the surface tension.

Preferably, the roaster 1 of the present invention includes a non-plate desorption apparatus 60 for selectively connecting and separating the water circulation line 31 of the bucket 20 and the non-plate 40.

The platen 40 needs to be washed after use, and for this cleaning, the platen 40 is preferably separated from the body 10. The platen detachable device 60 is a device for detachably mounting and detaching the platen 40 from the main body 10 of the roaster (1).

The plateless desorption device 60 is not particularly limited as long as the platelet 40 can be tightly coupled to and separated from the water circulation line, preferably, the plateless desorption device having a structure as shown in FIGS. 3 and 6 ( 60) can be used.

The illustrated plateless desorption apparatus 60 includes a support plate 61, an inlet pipe 62 connected to an inlet 42A of a water inflow space 42 installed on the support plate 61 so as to be movable left and right. Discharge guide 63 connected to the outlet 43A of the water discharge space 43, which is installed to move left and right, a guide 64 for guiding the left and right movement of the inlet pipe 62 and the discharge pipe 63, the inlet pipe A support 65 supporting the 62 and the discharge pipe 63 to be in close contact with the inlet 42A and the outlet 43A of the fire plate 40, and the inlet pipe 62 and the discharge pipe 63 to the inlet 42A. And a handle 66 with a cam 66A operative to selectively press against the outlet 43A.

In addition, in the embodiment shown in Figure 6 in order to give the right and left movement of the inlet pipe 62 and the discharge pipe 63 to the accuracy and elasticity, the support 64 to the inlet pipe 62 and the discharge pipe 63 Restoring spring 67 for applying a force away from the stop, stopper 68 for limiting the width of the left and right movement of the inlet pipe 62 and the discharge pipe 63, the operation of the cam 66A and the inlet pipe 62 and It is configured to further include a working plate 69 for transmitting to the discharge pipe 63, and a buffer spring 70 for smoothly transmitting the force of the working plate 69 to the inlet pipe 62 and the discharge pipe (63). have.

In FIG. 6, reference numeral 71 denotes a packing for ensuring water tightness, and reference numeral 72 moves together with the working plate 69 to be inserted into a hole formed in the partition 41A of the baffle plate 40 (not shown in the figure). It is a coupling pin to further solidify the fixed state of the bull plate.

According to the configuration of the plateless desorption apparatus 60 as described above, the platen 40 is positioned so that the inlet 42A and the outlet 43A are positioned between the end of the inlet pipe 62 and the outlet pipe 63 and the support base 65. When the handle 66 is rotated in the inserted state, the actuating plate 69 moves toward the bull plate 40 by the action of the cam 66A and presses the shock absorbing spring 70, and the shock absorbing spring 70 flows in. By pushing the pipe 62 and the discharge pipe 63 toward the fire plate 40, the ends of the inlet pipe 62 and the discharge pipe 63 are tightly coupled to the inlet 42A and the outlet 43A, and the coupling pin 72 is In the state inserted in the hole (not shown) of the platen 40, the platen 40 is firmly fixed to the platen detaching apparatus 60 (FIG. 6A).

Upon completion of this tight coupling, for example, a limit switch, not shown, connects the circuit of the pump 30, allowing the pump 30 to operate if no other switch is off.

On the contrary, if the handle 66 is rotated in the opposite direction or continuously, the actuating plate 69 is spaced apart from the bull plate 40 by the action of the cam 66A, and the shock absorbing spring 70 is relaxed, and the restoring spring 67 In operation, the inlet pipe 62 and the outlet pipe 63 are separated from the fire plate 40 to release the watertight coupling relationship (FIG. 6B).

At this time, the limit switch opens the circuit of the pump 30 before the watertight state is released when the handle 66 is rotated so that the pump 30 is not operated even when other switches are turned on.

Preferably, the combination of the platen 40 and the platen detaching device 60 may be hinged rotatably with respect to the body (10). That is, as shown in Figure 7, by connecting the platen detaching device 60 and the main body 10 by the hinge 80, the platen detaching device 60 in the state where the platen 40 is coupled to the main body 10 It can be configured to be rotated about, and when the charcoal (2) in accordance with the hinge coupling, the platen 40 and the platen detachable device 60 without having to separate the platen 40 from the platen detachable device 60 You can go to the charcoal fire.

Preferably, one side of the water circulation line 31 connecting the water tank 20 and the fire plate 40, preferably the water circulation line 31 of the portion where the water heated in the fire plate 40 is returned to the water tank 20. It is possible to form an intake pipe 90 to allow the flow into the water. That is, as shown in Figure 2, as the intake pipe 90 is formed in the water circulation line 31, the air is intake pipe 90 by the negative pressure generated when the water passes through the circulation line 31 Inhaled through the air is sucked into the water tank 20 together with the water is released into the bubble. In this embodiment, the air intake to the intake pipe 90 is based on the Venturi principle, and the height of the tip of the intake pipe 90 is set higher than that of the water circulation line 31 to prevent backflow of water to the intake pipe 90. do. Optionally, in order to prevent the backflow of water to the intake pipe 90, the intake pipe 90 may be equipped with a valve that sucks air and prevents the backflow of water.

Since the water heated while passing through the platen 40 according to the suction of air is cooled by contact with air, both water and air cooling are applied to the platen 40 in the present invention. To further increase and it is possible to reduce the capacity of the bucket 20 required for the involuntary cooling.

According to the roaster according to the present invention described above, as the water is forced to circulate the fire plate to cool the fire plate, there is an effect that can reduce the food sticking to the fire plate, burning or smoke generation.

In addition, as the water heated in the cooling process of the platen is cooled by intake of air, the cooling effect can be further increased, and thus, the capacity of the bucket required for the platen cooling can be reduced.
