The driving speed of the motor 12 can be arbitrarily set by a controller (not shown), which is related to the combustion speed of the wood chip, so it varies depending on the type of wood chip or particle size and the degree of opening of the damper of the air supply unit 40, etc. can be set to

Wood chips (C) used in the smoke generating device of this embodiment can typically be made of oak as a raw material, but depending on the type of food to be smoked or consumer preferences, hickory (walnut), apple tree, cherry tree Wood chips of various species such as , plum, vine, ginkgo, musket, mulberry, pear, peach, etc. may be used alone or in combination.

In this embodiment, the combustion chamber 20 and the ignition and re-receiving chamber 30 form a two-stage enclosure, and opening and closing doors 22 and 32 are provided on the front side to enable inspection and cleaning. , The enclosure has an iron plate (S) inside and outside, and a fire-resistance insulation material (I) in the middle to prevent fire accidents due to leakage of heat generated with smoke.

In the drawing, reference numerals 21 and 31 are handles for closing the door, 23 and 33 are heat-resistant packings for airtightness, and reference numerals 24 and 34 are heat-resistant windows, so that it is easy to visually check the internal state without opening the door. it is for

A through hole (H) is drilled in the center of the partition wall (W) between the upper combustion chamber (20) and the lower ignition and re-receiving chamber (30) forming the housing, and a wood chip (H) is formed in the through hole (H). C) The combustion cylinder 25 and the support 26, which are dropped and combusted, are seated, and the combustion cylinder 25 is connected to the pneumatic cylinder 27 by a link 28 so that a rotation operation is made, and the support 26 is fixed in place to allow stable combustion by allowing the ash remaining after combustion to fall into the ash receiving chamber 30 below without being stagnant by the rotating operation of the combustion tube 25 .

As shown in FIG. 3 , the combustion chamber 25 and the support 26 are separated from the through hole H and cleaned from the outside at regular intervals or according to the situation as shown in FIG. 3 , and have a separable structure so that they can be installed and used again. Also, as shown in FIG. 3 , the pneumatic cylinder 27 and the link 28 have a coupling structure that can be easily separated by a ball-joint method.

A burner 35 is installed in the ignition and re-receiving chamber 30. The burner 35 is located in the center only when igniting, and is supported by a rotating shaft 36 so as to deflect to the outside during combustion, and when ignited When the operator opens the opening/closing door 32 of the front of the ignition and re-reception chamber 30, the ignition is ignited in a state to come to the center for ignition, and when the ignition is completed, it is rotated so as to deflect toward the corner.

The air supply unit 40 is composed of an air supply pipe 42 and a damper 44, and the amount of air flowing into the ignition and re-reception chamber 30 can be appropriately adjusted by manually manipulating the damper 44. .

The water supply unit 50 supplies water from the water supply tank 52 to the combustion chamber 20 through a pair of parallel water supply lines in which ball valves V1 and V1' and solenoid valves V2 and V2' are installed in series, respectively. It is supplied to the installed spray nozzle 54, which normally opens only one water supply line, that is, for example, the ball valve (V1) of one water supply line is opened and the ball valve (V1') of the other water supply line is closed. When the solenoid valve (V2, V2') of the water supply line is broken by using it in the state of being used, and when a failure occurs, the ball valve (V1) of one water supply line is closed and the ball valve (V1') of the other water supply line is opened. This is to ensure stable water supply and to replace the malfunctioning solenoid valve even when the smoke generator is in normal operation.

Since the opening degree and opening time of the solenoid valves v2 and v2' are controlled by the controller, it is necessary to set the controller according to the condition in which the greatest amount of smoke can be generated without turning off the wood chips.

On the other hand, the water in the water supply tank 52 is pressurized by the supply of compressed air (not shown) to be supplied to the spray nozzle 54, and water can be replenished by connecting the water pipe through the replenishment line. , A separate water level sensor is installed in the water supply tank 52 to notify the outside when the water level is low or to open the valve of the supplement line connected to the water pipe to automatically replenish water. Since the water level control and pressurization method of the tank 52 is a known technique in the technical field to which the present invention pertains, a detailed description and illustration thereof are omitted.

The solenoid valves (V2, V2') are configured to periodically spray water by a timer provided in the controller, and when the temperature sensor 56 installed at the spray nozzle 54 detects an abnormally high temperature, water for a certain period of time It is designed to lower the temperature by spraying or to prevent a fire.

In this embodiment, after the wood chip (C) is ignited, water is sprayed on the wood chip (C) that is burning at regular intervals from the spray nozzle 54, so that it is possible to prevent a spark from burning all at once, and water Since incomplete combustion is achieved by spraying, the amount of smoke can be increased, and the moisture content in the smoke can be increased, which has the advantage of improving the smoking effect compared to smoke with a low moisture content.

In addition, the water supply unit 50 functions to extinguish the flame of wood chips by automatically spraying water after the smoking process is completed for a set period of time.

The smoke exhaust unit 60 includes a communication unit 62 connected to the rear of the combustion chamber 20 and a cyclone 64 connected to the communication unit 62 to remove relatively large particle components in the smoke generated in the combustion chamber. It is made to prevent the closure of the inside of the flue 62 connected to the smoking room (not shown) for smoking and to solve the problem of inhibiting the smoking effect by solid particles.

Reference numeral 70 in the drawing denotes an exhaust duct provided on the upper portion of the smoke generator 10 .
