Description

This utility model relates to equipment for the food industry and concerns the design of purification and cooling (filtration) chambers of devices for producing smoking smoke - smoke generators, which can be used for smoking various products, including in domestic (domestic) conditions.

Currently, for cold smoking foodstuffs, it is known to use devices for producing smoking smoke - smoke generators. Smoke is generated when sawdust or hardwood chips smolder. Smoke generators contain a non-separable housing for placing and burning / smoldering smoke-forming raw materials (the so-called smoke chamber (tank)), a removable housing cover, an inlet pipe for supplying air to the smoke generation chamber (air intake) and an outlet pipe for smoke out of the chamber. In this case, the body can have the shape of a hollow cylinder or a parallelepiped, and the smoke generator can be equipped with a smoke purification (filtration) chamber (moisture and resin separator, sump) made in the form of a vertically oriented hollow container that does not contain elements that prevent the passage of smoke inside (for example, patent RU 179645 U1, filing date 07.07.2017, published 21.05.2018, patent RU 189647 U1, filing date 25.03.2019, published 29.05.2019, patent RU 171117 U1, filing date 17.05.2016, published 22.05.2017. ).

The preparation of products in smoke generators is accompanied by the active release of resins, which not only pollute the smoke chamber, smoke exhaust pipes and other structural details, but also get onto the processed products, which leads to a deterioration in their quality. In order to avoid the ingress of various impurities on the processed products, the smoke generators are equipped with chambers for purification of smoking smoke coming out of the smoke generation chamber (filters, sedimentation tanks, etc.). However, the use of smoke purification chambers in smoke generators, which do not have any structural elements inside, due to which harmful impurities would additionally be captured or deposited from the smoke, leads to unsatisfactory smoke purification. Therefore, a common disadvantage of the known devices for producing smoke with similar cleaning chambers is the low quality of the products prepared in the smoke generator.

Known smoke generator sump, made in the form of a vertically oriented hollow cylindrical container connected to the body of the smoke generator by means of a threaded connection with a hole along its axis, while the sump contains a removable filter, which is a set of horizontally arranged plates with holes (patent RU 188552 U1, filing date 24.07 .2018, published on 04/16/2019).

There is also known a smoke generator settler, which contains a body, a cover, a smoke outlet, an air inlet, an opening for draining condensate and other impurities after passing through the settler. The sump is connected to the smoke generator by a connecting pipe. The sump body contains a cassette with horizontally located partitions (patent RU 179645 U1, filing date 07.07.2017, published 21.05.2018).

The disadvantage of the known settling tanks for smoke generators (chambers for cleaning and / or cooling smoke smoke) is also a low degree of smoke purification, and, accordingly, an unsatisfactory quality of smoking products due to re-contamination of smoke with condensate, resins and other impurities accumulating on the horizontal surfaces of the plates and partitions, and also by the rectilinear and mainly laminar flow of the smoke mixture through the cleaning chamber.

As the closest technical solution, a chamber for cleaning smoke smoke of a smoke generator was chosen, containing a housing with alternating partitions located inside at an angle to the side walls, while one end of each partition fits tightly to one of the walls, and the other (free) end reaches the vertical axis of symmetry cameras (application FR 2446071 A1, filing date 01/12/1979, publication date 08/08/1980).

The main disadvantage of the closest analogue, as well as the known devices for producing smoking smoke, is the low quality of smoking products, associated with unsatisfactory purification of smoke from the tar, condensate, etc. formed during the smoldering process. pollution, since smoke passes without delay and almost without obstacles in the center of the chamber from bottom to top.

A technical problem, the solution of which is provided by the claimed utility model, is the creation of a new smoke purification chamber of a smoke generator for smoking food products, which ensures the supply of high-quality smoke without harmful impurities, and, as a result, increases the quality of the prepared products.

The technical result obtained when using the claimed utility model is to increase the degree of purification of the generated smoke.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that the smoke purification chamber of the smoke generator contains a housing with alternating partitions located inside at an angle to the side walls, while one end of each partition fits snugly against one of the walls, according to the utility model, the smoke purification chamber contains a removable side element, and the second end of each partition forms a slot with the opposite wall.

In this case, according to the utility model, the smoke purification chamber can be equipped with a smoke outlet.

Moreover, according to the utility model, the smoke outlet can be located in the upper part of the body.

In this case, according to the utility model, the smoke purification chamber can be equipped with a smoke inlet pipe.

Moreover, according to the utility model, the smoke inlet can be located in the lower part of the body.

Moreover, according to the utility model, the smoke purification chamber can be equipped with a drain hole.

Moreover, according to the utility model, the drain hole can be located in the lower part of the housing.

Moreover, according to the utility model, the smoke purification chamber can be made collapsible.

The technical problem was solved by the development of the design of the smoke purification chamber of the smoke generator, during the passage of which the smoke mixture not only changed the direction of flow when colliding with obstacles in the form of partitions, but also acquired a turbulent character (with vortices), collided with inclined planes of partitions (plates), while condensate and resins were deposited on the partitions and flowed down through them. This provides a higher degree of smoke purification, and, accordingly, improves the quality of smoking products.

The present utility model is illustrated by images (Fig. 1-3), an example of the implementation of the chamber for cleaning smoke smoke of a smoke generator on which, however, is not the only possible, but clearly demonstrate the possibility of achieving the claimed technical result. At the same time, the above examples of the implementation of the claimed utility model do not limit the possibilities of its implementation and are not exhaustive. FIG. 1 shows an exploded view of the body of a smoke purification chamber; FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of a smoke generator body with a smoke purification chamber without removable side elements, FIG. 3 shows the passage of the smoke mixture through the smoke purification chamber and its gradual cooling.

According to the utility model, the smoke purification chamber of the smoke generator contains a housing 1 with alternating partitions 3 located inside at an angle to the side walls 2 (Figs. 1-3). In this case, one end of each partition 3 fits snugly against one of the walls 2, and the second end of each partition 3 forms a slot 4 with the opposite wall 2.

The smoke purification chamber in one embodiment can be equipped with a smoke outlet 5, a smoke inlet 6 and a drain hole 7 (Figs. 2, 3). The outlet 5 can be located in the upper part of the housing 1, the inlet 6 and the opening 7 can be located in the lower part of the housing 1.

The smoke purification chamber in one of the variants of execution can be made collapsible and contain at least one removable side element 8 (Fig. 1 and 2).

The claimed smoke purification chamber of the smoke generator operates as follows.

Smoke-generating raw materials, for example, wood chips, are applied to the smoke generating chamber 9 of the smoke generator and set on fire.

A compressor hose of suitable power (not shown) is connected to the outlet pipe 10 of the smoke chamber with an ejector built into it. A container for settling resins (not shown) formed during operation is connected to the drain hole 7. Turn on the compressor.

The compressor, by means of ejection, draws air and smoke through the cleaning chamber of the smoke generator, nozzles 5, 6 and 10, the flue pipe 11 of the chamber 9 and an air intake (not shown).

The operation of the smoke purification chamber can be seen in FIG. 3. In cross-section, each partition 3 covers the width of the cleaning chamber almost completely. Due to this, the flow of incoming smoke rushes upward, meets obstacles and, swirling, returns from top to bottom along the lower surface of the partitions 3. Then the smoke passes into the encountered slot 4 (a small gap), again rushing up along the side wall 2 and, swirling, repeats the previous trajectory. This happens several times.

Due to such a forced trajectory of smoke passage, the area of direct contact of the smoke flow with the walls 2 and partitions 3 of the chamber is significantly increased. Both the walls 2 and the partitions 3 participate in the accompanying direction of the flow, taking away heat. The vortex of the smoke stream, in addition to cooling, provides a more active condensation of harmful substances.
