The present invention relates to a food cooking apparatus, and more particularly, by using near infrared rays as a heat source for heating food, the food is cooked evenly and quickly, and is easy to clean the frame for transporting food (including a transport network for transporting food). It relates to a food cooking apparatus to be provided.

In the food industry, it is very important to prepare food quickly. As competition in the instant cooking industry has intensified, restaurants need to reduce food cooking time and provide food to their customers faster. In other words, preparing food more quickly and providing it to the guests faster results in receiving more customers without increasing the size of the restaurant and the number of seats. Shortening the cooking time is very important for foods such as pizzas that require more cooking time than instant cooking foods such as hamburgers and chicken.

The reason that the pizza cooking time should be longer than the cooking time of other foods is due to the characteristics of the pizza product. Unlike straight cooked foods such as beef, chicken or fish, which can be grilled on a grill or quickly cooked in oil, it is an outer layer of dough and an outer layer of vegetables such as cheese, meat and mushrooms, onions and peppers. The cooked pizza is not cooked too much and needs to be cooked properly, which requires special cooking skills. Therefore, cooking pizza or similar foods more quickly is more difficult when cooking hot dogs, hamburgers, fried chicken, and the like.

In order to speed up the cooking of the pizza, raising the temperature of the oven in which the pizza is to be cooked is insufficient. Increasing the temperature of the oven destroys the pizza components and results in the pizza being too baked.

Therefore, there is a need for a proposal for a cooker capable of sufficiently cooking while speeding up cooking of food such as pizza.

On the other hand, a conventional cooking machine (for example, an oven, etc.) for cooking pizza is composed of a tubular shape.

Therefore, when cleaning the inside is often the case of the internal cleaning by disassembling the tubular components, in this case it is inconvenient due to the disassembly of the product, there is a disadvantage that the internal cleaning of the cooker is complicated and difficult due to this reason.

The present invention has been proposed in order to solve the problem of long cooking time and the internal cleaning problem occurring in the conventional food cooker as described above,

The use of near-infrared light as a heat source is to allow the heat to penetrate evenly to the inside of the food and to bake the food evenly to the inside.

The intensity control of the near-infrared generated from the heating device 210 or the control of the feeding speed of the food delivery network 130 will be described in detail below.

Next, the support 200 supporting the frame 100 is formed in a portion in which the groove 220 in which the heating device 210 is mounted forms a cooking chamber, and generates near infrared rays from the heating device 210. By providing a heat source to the food 120 is transferred to the conveyor 110 to heat the lower portion of the food (120).

In addition, a hinge 230 having a rotating shaft for rotating the frame 100 in the vertical direction is installed on one surface of the support 200 to be coupled to one surface of the frame 100, the frame 10) At the same time as to support the frame 100 is rotated in a vertical direction as shown in FIG.

When the frame 100 is rotated in the vertical direction, since the frame 100 can be easily cleaned in a combined state without separating the frame 100 from the support 200 during internal cleaning, it provides very convenience. The frame 100 is provided with a heating device and the like, only the food transporting net, the supporting rod and the prime gear and the driven gear are combined, so there is an advantage that the water can be cleaned.

Next, the door 300 for forming the cooking chamber is mounted on one side of the support 200. The door 300 is hinged to a predetermined position of the support 200 so that the frame 100 can rotate in the vertical direction and is opened in a direction perpendicular to the frame 100, when the door 300 is opened and closed. For convenience, it is preferable to have a handle 320 at a predetermined position, and the openings 331 and 332 are provided on both side walls of the door 300 so that the food 120 placed in the frame 100 penetrates the cooking chamber. And a space part 340 is formed to form the cooking chamber, so that the food 120 placed in the frame 100 is transferred to the cooking chamber through one side opening 331 and is supported by the support 200 in the cooking chamber. The cooking is performed by heating by the near infrared rays generated by the heating device 210 and the heating device 310 installed in the door 300. At this time, the food 120 does not stay in the cooking chamber and is moved by the user's moving speed or the like. transfer Continuously transported in the transverse direction by the network 130, the food is completed 120 is transferred to the outside of the cooking chamber through the other opening 332 of the door 300.

In addition, a heating device 310 for generating a heat source for heating the food 120 is installed at a predetermined position of the space 340. Here, the heating apparatus 310 is a near-infrared lamp which generates near-infrared rays, as is well known, and is preferably installed in consideration of three heat sources and power consumption.
