In order to uniformly adjust the heating state of the object to be heated (grill color, grilling degree, shape, etc.), the above-mentioned net-baked heating conditioner can be easily operated in heating conditioning. The advantages of heating. For example, it is possible to easily perform an operation in which the object to be heated is moved to the surface where the heating power is strong, or to turn the object to be heated in order to grill the surface of the object to be heated. Moreover, since the net-baked heating conditioner is usually heated and conditioned in an open space, it is easy to understand the advantages of the heating conditioning process of the object to be heated. On the other hand, since the above-mentioned grilling type heating conditioner heats the object to be heated by using a heat source such as a heating wire or carbon, moisture evaporates from the object to be heated as the heating conditioning time elapses. Therefore, there is a disadvantage that the object to be heated is dried, and it is difficult to heat and condition the finished product with a moist feeling.

On the other hand, in the oven type heating conditioner disclosed in Patent Document 1, since the heating of the object to be heated uses the radiant heat from the water vapor and the heater, it is possible to prevent the evaporation of the moisture in the object to be heated, and the conditioning is Wet finished product. However, on the opposite side, since the oven-type heating conditioner performs heating conditioning of the object to be heated in the sealed space of the heating chamber, it is difficult to perform the operation of moving the object to be heated and turning it over during heating conditioning. .

Thus, there has not previously been a heating conditioner that combines the advantages of both a net-fired heating conditioner and a water-heated oven-type heating conditioner.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to realize a heating conditioner which is capable of easily operating an object to be heated in heating conditioning and which can be heated and conditioned using water vapor.

In order to solve the above problems, a heating conditioner according to an aspect of the present invention includes a heating furnace and a steam generating portion that generates water vapor supplied to the heating furnace, wherein the heating furnace has an open portion at an upper portion thereof, and A steam outlet is provided on the inner surface of the heating furnace.

According to an aspect of the present invention, the object to be heated can be easily handled during heating conditioning, and the effect of heating conditioning using water vapor can be utilized.

The mesh member 4 has a mesh structure and is disposed such that its upper surface is located at the open portion 21 of the heating furnace 20. The net member 4 is in the form of a container suitable for the shape of the upper portion of the heating furnace 20, and an object to be heated such as a food material to be processed by the heating conditioner 1A is placed on the bottom surface. The bottom surface of the mesh member 4 is located lower than the open portion 21 of the heating furnace 20. The object to be heated placed on the bottom surface of the mesh member 4 can be turned over or moved by the opening portion 21 by, for example, a chopstick, a clip, or the like.

The steam generating unit 30 is a device for generating superheated steam supplied to the heating furnace 20, and is provided on the outer surfaces of the four side walls 23 constituting the heating furnace 20.

The water supply unit 50 is provided in four corresponding to the steam generating unit 30. Further, the water supply unit 50 includes a water supply pipe 51 connected to the steam generating unit 30, and supplies water to the steam generating unit 30. The water supply unit 50 includes a water supply pump (not shown), a water supply tank (not shown), and the like.

The superheated steam generated by the four steam generating units 30 is supplied to the inside of the heating furnace 20 via the steam blowing port 22 provided on the inner surface of the side wall 23 of the heating furnace 20. The superheated steam supplied from the steam blowing port 22 is filled with a space lower than the opening portion 21 of the heating furnace 20. At this time, the object to be heated placed on the net member 4 is heated and conditioned by the superheated steam which is filled in the space below the open portion 21.

Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the steam generating portion 30 of the heating conditioner 1A of the present embodiment. In addition, the switching unit 35 is schematically shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 4, the steam generating unit 30 includes a steam generating heater 31 (first heater), a superheated steam generating heater 32 (second heater), and independently switching steam generation. The switching unit 35 for turning on/off the heater 31 and the superheated steam generating heater 32. The steam generating unit 30 is configured as a unit in which the steam generating heater 31 and the superheated steam generating heater 32 are incorporated in the casing 33. A partition wall 33C is provided in the casing 33. The partition wall 33C divides the internal space of the casing 33 into a steam generating space 33A in which the steam generating heater 31 is housed, and a superheated steam generating space 33B in which the superheated steam generating heater 32 is housed.

The partition wall 33C has a base material containing SUS304 (18 chrome stainless steel) and heat-resistant stainless steel, and a coating film covering the base material. The coating film has heat resistance, for example, formed of a black coating layer.

The superheated steam generation space 33B is provided in the steam generation space 33A. The steam generating space 33A and the superheated steam generating space 33B are connected so as to be able to mutually enter and exit steam. Further, a steam discharge pipe 34 that communicates with the space in the heating furnace 20 is provided in the superheated steam generating space 33B. The steam discharge pipe 34 is provided to penetrate the steam blowing port 22 of the heating furnace 20.

The casing 33 has a base material cast by die casting of a metal such as aluminum, and a coating film covering the base material. The coating film has water repellency and prevents oxidation of oxides such as rust from the surface of the substrate. The coating film is formed, for example, of a coating layer.

The water droplets from the water supply portion 50 fall into the casing 33 of the steam generating portion 30. The steam generating heater 31 heats the casing 33 to evaporate the water dropped to the casing 33. Thereby, saturated water vapor of about 100 ° C is generated in the steam generation space 33A.

Here, the steam generating heater 31 is cast in the casing 33. Therefore, the contact area between the steam generating heater 31 and the casing 33 can be increased. As a result, the heat of the steam generating heater 31 can be efficiently transmitted to the casing 33, and the evaporation efficiency can be improved.

The saturated steam generated in the steam generating space 33A flows into the superheated steam generating space 33B. Then, in the superheated steam generating space 33B, the superheated steam generating heater 32 is heated to become superheated steam of 100 ° C or higher (for example, about 300 ° C). this Here, the superheated steam means water vapor which is heated to a superheated state of 100 ° C or more. The superheated steam generated in the superheated steam generating space 33B is supplied to the heating furnace 20 through the steam discharge pipe 34.

Thereby, the object to be heated placed on the mesh member 4 is heated and conditioned by the superheated steam of 100 ° C or more (for example, about 300 ° C) blown from the steam outlet 22 of the heating furnace 20 . At this time, the superheated steam is supplied to the surface of the object to be heated and adhered, and is condensed on the surface of the object to be heated to apply a large amount of latent heat of condensation to the object to be heated. Therefore, heat can be efficiently transferred to the object to be heated.

Further, since the heating conditioner 1A performs heating conditioning using superheated steam, it is possible to suppress evaporation of moisture from the object to be heated and cause the object to be heated to dry. Therefore, the object to be heated can be conditioned to maintain a moistened product of moderate moisture.

Further, according to the heating conditioner 1A, the bottom surface on which the object to be heated of the mesh member 4 is placed is located lower than the opening portion 21 of the heating furnace 20. In this case, the object to be heated placed on the net member 4 can be turned over or moved by the opening portion 21 by, for example, a chopstick, a clip, or the like. Therefore, the object to be heated heated by the superheated steam can be easily operated in accordance with the heating condition.

Therefore, according to the configuration of the heating conditioner 1A, the object to be heated can be easily handled in the heating conditioning, and the superheated steam can be used for the heating conditioning. The heating conditioner 1A is a brand new heating conditioner that combines the advantages of both a grilled heating conditioner and an oven-type heating conditioner using superheated steam.

The heating conditioner 1A is different from the oven type heating conditioner using superheated steam, and is configured to supply superheated steam to the inside of the heating furnace 20 (non-closed space) having the open portion 21 that communicates with the outside. Moreover, the heating conditioner 1A is configured to utilize only the superheated steam pair The heating is heated and conditioned. Although the steam generating unit 30 continuously generates superheated steam in order to heat the object to be heated placed on the mesh member 4, it is also possible to control the heating of the object to be heated using a sensor or the like to control the generation of the superheated steam.

Moreover, as shown in FIG. 4, the steam generating unit 30 includes a switching unit 35 that independently switches on/off of the steam generating heater 31 and the superheated steam generating heater 32. Therefore, both the heating conditioning using superheated steam and the steaming conditioning using saturated steam can be performed in the heating conditioner 1A.

In the case where the object to be heated is steamed and conditioned, the switching unit 35 controls the steam generating heater 31 to be turned on, and the superheated steam generating heater 32 is turned off. Thereby, the steam generating unit 30 supplies the saturated steam generated by the steam generating heater 31 to the inside of the heating furnace 20. Then, the space below the opening portion 21 of the heating furnace 20 is filled with saturated water vapor, and the steamed conditioning of the object to be heated placed on the mesh member 4 can be performed.

Further, the heating conditioner 1A may be provided with a cover member that covers the open portion 21 of the heating furnace 20. Further, heating conditioning using a lid member may be performed depending on the type of the object to be heated. For example, in the case where the food material which is hard to pass through is heated and conditioned, in order to efficiently heat the object to be heated, the heating treatment is performed while covering the open portion 21 of the heating furnace 20 with the lid member.

Further, the member on which the object to be heated is placed is not limited to the mesh member 4 having the mesh structure, and the object to be heated can be supported at the position of the opening portion 21 of the heating furnace 20 or the lower portion of the opening portion 21. The support member is not particularly limited. For example, as a supporting member for supporting an object to be heated, a tray or the like can be cited.

The mesh member 4 supports the object to be heated in such a manner as to be in contact with the superheated steam filled in the heating furnace 20 by the mesh structure. Therefore, the object to be heated can be uniformly heated and conditioned.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3(a), the inner surface of the side wall 23 of the heating furnace 20 is inclined with respect to the bottom surface 24. More specifically, the side wall 23 of the heating furnace 20 is configured such that the interval between the inner faces of the side walls 23 opposed to each other is narrowed toward the bottom surface 24.

By adopting such a configuration, the superheated steam can be blown upward from the steam outlet 22 upward. Therefore, it is possible to easily heat-treat the object to be heated placed on the mesh member 4 from below.
