Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooking appliances, and in particular to a grilling machine. Background Technology

[0002] A grill is a common kitchen appliance. Grills typically consist of a baking pan and a heating element. The heating element transfers heat to the baking pan, where food is placed for grilling or frying, such as baking pancakes or grilling meat. During cooking, the food loses moisture, making it prone to drying out and hardening, which affects its texture.

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical issues, some existing grills incorporate a water tank on the grill pan. When the grill pan is heated, the steam generated in the water tank can enter the grilling cavity, replenishing the moisture of the food during cooking and improving its tenderness and texture. This solution is disclosed in Chinese utility model patent application CN202020633236.X (authorization announcement number: CN212186232U).

[0004] However, existing grills with humidification functions still have some shortcomings: Existing grills, especially those with exposed heating elements, leave a gap between the perimeter of the base and the grill pan, or between the reflector on the base (if it has a reflector) and the grill pan, to prevent the bakelite part on the base from being damaged by heat. However, this gap causes heat loss from the heating element, and the water in the tank can only be heated by the residual heat around the grill pan. The steam generation is slow and cannot replenish the moisture to the food being cooked in time. The softness and taste of the food are not effectively improved.

[0005] Therefore, existing grilling machines still need further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a grilling machine that can accelerate the steam generation speed and improve the taste of food, based on the current state of the technology.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is: a grilling machine, comprising:

[0008] A baking pan with a water tank defined on it for holding water;

[0009] The base defines a mounting cavity for placing a baking tray;

[0010] A heating element, located within the mounting cavity of the base, is used to heat the baking tray;

[0011] The base comprises a base body and a reflecting plate arranged on the base body, the heating element is located above the reflecting plate, the reflecting plate comprises a first bottom plate and a first side plate extending upward from the outer periphery of the first bottom plate;

[0014] The "extending upward" in the "first side plate extending upward from the outer periphery of the first bottom plate" can mean that the first side plate extends vertically upward, or can mean that the extending direction of the first side plate has a certain inclination angle relative to the vertical direction.

[0015] The "annular" in the "annular support part" and "annular step" can mean that the annular support part or annular step is a complete circle in the circumferential direction without gaps or interruptions, or can mean that the annular support part or annular step has gaps or interruptions at individual positions in the circumferential direction (for the purpose of leaving space or other functions). Preferably, the annular support part or annular step is a complete circle in the circumferential direction without gaps or interruptions, so as to reduce heat loss as much as possible and achieve rapid heating of the water tank area.

[0016] As an improvement, the water tank is located at the outer peripheral edge of the baking tray, and the water tank is arranged in one circle extending along the circumferential direction of the baking tray or at least one section extending along the circumferential direction of the baking tray.

[0017] In order to facilitate the processing and cleaning of the baking tray, the outer peripheral edge of the baking tray is further provided with an oil nozzle, and the water tank is arranged in two along the circumferential direction of the baking tray, and the two water tanks are located on the two sides of the oil nozzle respectively.

[0018] In order to make the position of the water tank as much as possible above the heating cavity or opposite to the position of the annular support part (or annular step) in the vertical direction, the baking tray comprises a second bottom plate and a second side plate extending upward from the second bottom plate, and the second bottom plate of the baking tray is placed on the annular support part or annular step of the reflecting plate.

[0019] The "upward extension" in the "second side plate extending upward from the second bottom plate" can mean that the second side plate extends vertically upward, or can mean that the extension direction of the second side plate has a certain inclination angle relative to the vertical direction.

[0020] As an improvement, the second bottom plate of the baking tray further has an upwardly extending water tank partition plate, and the water tank partition plate, together with the corresponding part of the second side plate and the corresponding part of the second bottom plate, defines the water tank.

[0021] In order to facilitate the water vapor formed in the water tank to enter the cooking cavity, the height of the water tank partition plate is lower than the height of the second side plate.

[0022] In order to improve the heating efficiency, the bottom surface of the second bottom plate of the baking tray is in contact with the heating element.

[0023] In order to ensure the firmness of the heating element, the reflecting plate further has an upwardly extending support frame, and the heating element is placed on the support frame.

[0036] Embodiment 1

[0037] Figures 1-3 A preferred embodiment of the frying and baking machine of the present application is shown. The frying and baking machine comprises a base 2, an upper cover part and a baking tray 1. The rear end of the upper cover part (not shown) is generally connected to the base 2 in a hinged manner. The structure of the upper cover part and the rotating connection structure between the upper cover part and the base 2 can adopt the prior art, which will not be described here. Of course, some frying and baking machines can also not be provided with the above-mentioned upper cover part.

[0038] Referring to Figure 2, the base 2 of the grill includes a base body 21 and a reflector 22 arranged on the base body 21. The base body 21 includes a shell 211 with an open top and a ring 212 connected to the open top of the shell 211. The shell 211 is generally made of PP material, and the ring 212 is made of bakelite, but can also be made of other high-temperature-resistant materials. The ring 212 includes first and second connecting plates 2121 and 2122 opposite to each other, and the top of the first connecting plate 2121 is connected to the top of the second connecting plate 2122, so that the cross section of the ring 212 is a U-shaped structure with an open top. The top of the first connecting plate 2121 is generally designed as a flat structure with a certain length, and this part constitutes the top wall of the base 2. The bottom edge of the first connecting plate 2121 of the ring 212 is connected to the top edge of the open top of the shell 211, and the bottom edge of the second connecting plate 2122 is connected to the top edge of the first side plate 222 of the reflector 22. The reflector 22 has a bowl or disc structure, and specifically includes a first bottom plate 221 and a first side plate 222 extending upward from the outer periphery of the first bottom plate 221. In view of the possibility of deformation of the reflector 22, the top edge of the first side plate 222 of the reflector 22 further has an annular flange 2221 extending outward, and the bottom edge of the second connecting plate 2122 is connected to the annular flange 2221.

[0039] The part of the base body 21 where the reflector 22 is located forms a mounting cavity 20 for placing the grill plate 1. The grill plate 1 can be placed in the mounting cavity 20. The grill plate 1 includes a second bottom plate 11 and a second side plate 12 extending upward from the second bottom plate 11, and a cooking space for placing food is formed on the inner side of the second side plate 12. In order to facilitate oil placement and oil collection, the top of the second side plate 12 of the grill plate 1 is further provided with an oil nozzle 14.

[0040] Continuing to refer to Figure 2 The grill further includes a heating element 3. Generally, the heating element 3 can be an annular electric heating tube, and the main body of the electric heating tube is generally arranged horizontally. The main body of the heating element 3 of the present embodiment is located above the reflector 22 (specifically the first bottom plate 221), and is used to reflect the heat generated by the heating element 3 upward to heat the grill plate 1. The wiring end of the electric heating tube can extend downward through the first bottom plate 221 of the reflector 22 to the inside of the base body 21, and be connected to the corresponding power supply module and control module. After the grill plate 1 is placed in position, the bottom surface of the second bottom plate 11 of the grill plate 1 is in contact with the heating element 3, thereby improving the heating efficiency. Of course, in some embodiments, the bottom surface of the second bottom plate 11 of the grill plate 1 can also not be in contact with the heating element 3.

[0041] The reflecting plate 22 is further provided with an upwardly extending support frame 24 which can be connected to the first bottom of the reflecting plate 22 by screws. Two support frames 24 can be symmetrically arranged, and the electric heating tube can be placed on the two support frames 24, thereby ensuring the firmness of the electric heating tube.

[0042] Referring to Figure 3 The grill 1 of the embodiment is further provided with a water tank 130 for containing water. In order to ensure that the grill 1 has a relatively large cooking space, the water tank 130 is arranged at the outer peripheral edge of the grill 1, specifically at the outer peripheral edge of the second bottom plate 11 of the grill 1, that is, the water tank 130 is arranged adjacent to the second side plate 12 of the grill 1. During cooking, the grill 1 is heated and warmed, and the water temperature in the water tank 130 rises rapidly, so that water vapor can be provided to the food materials in cooking, thereby improving the taste of the food.

[0043] The water tank 130 of the embodiment is arranged in a circle along the circumference of the grill 1, that is, the water tank 130 is a ring-shaped water tank 130. By adopting the structure of the ring-shaped water tank 130, water vapor can be more fully generated around the cooking cavity to humidify the food materials. The second bottom plate 11 of the grill 1 is further provided with an upwardly extending water tank partition plate 13. The water tank partition plate 13 is a ring-shaped partition plate arranged along the circumference of the grill 1, so that the water tank partition plate 13, the corresponding part of the second side plate 12 and the corresponding part of the second bottom plate 11 define the above-mentioned ring-shaped water tank 130. Specifically, the height of the water tank partition plate 13 is lower than the height of the second side plate 12, so that the water vapor formed in the water tank 130 can enter the cooking cavity more conveniently. The height of the water tank partition plate 13 can be reasonably designed according to the actual amount of water required for humidification.

[0044] Continuing to refer to Figure 3The first side plate 222 of the reflector plate 22 of the present embodiment is formed with an annular step 2222 for resting the baking tray 1. Specifically, the upper portion of the first side plate 222 has a larger diameter than the lower portion, thereby forming an annular step 2222 at the joint between the two, and the bottom of the second bottom plate 11 of the baking tray 1 is in contact with the annular step 2222 of the reflector plate 22, preferably in surface contact. The annular step 2222 is located at a position corresponding to the outer peripheral edge of the second bottom plate 11 of the baking tray 1. Since the annular water groove 130 on the baking tray 1 of the present embodiment is also located at the outer peripheral edge of the second bottom plate 11, the bottom of the annular water groove 130 on the baking tray 1 is in contact with the annular step 2222 of the reflector plate 22 above and below, i.e. the annular step 2222 is located directly below the bottom wall of the annular water groove 130. In addition to the heat reflected by the reflector plate 22, the annular step 2222 of the reflector plate 22 can directly transfer heat to the annular water groove 130 of the baking tray 1, effectively increasing the water temperature. In other embodiments, the annular water groove 130 on the baking tray 1 can also be located above the heating chamber 23, i.e. in the radial direction, the annular water groove 130 is located within the range defined by the annular step 2222 of the reflector plate 22.

[0045] After the baking tray 1 is installed on the base 2, the second bottom plate 11 of the baking tray 1 rests on the annular step 2222 of the reflector plate 22, and the bottom surface of the outer peripheral edge of the second bottom plate 11 is in contact with the top surface of the annular step 2222, thereby forming a relatively closed heating chamber 23 between the baking tray 1 and the reflector plate 22. This means that the heat generated by the heating element 3 is as much as possible enclosed in the heating chamber 23 formed between the baking tray 1 and the reflector plate 22, reducing heat loss, and thus the water temperature in the water groove 130 can quickly rise, and steam can be generated in time to provide food materials in cooking, improving the taste of the food.

[0046] The annular step 2222 of the reflector plate 22 can be formed by bending or stamping. Of course, the annular step 2222 can also be an annular plate extending inward from the first side plate 222 of the reflector plate 22.

[0047] It can be understood that the "annular" in the above "annular step" can mean that the annular step 2222 is a complete circle without gaps or interruptions in the circumferential direction, or it can mean that the annular step 2222 has gaps or interruptions at individual positions in the circumferential direction for the purpose of making room or other functions, i.e. the annular step 2222 is generally annular in whole. In preferred embodiments, the annular support portion or the annular step 2222 is a complete circle without gaps or interruptions in the circumferential direction, so as to reduce heat loss as much as possible and achieve rapid heating of the water groove 130 area.

[0048] Embodiment 2

[0049] Figures 4-7 Another preferred embodiment of the baking machine of the present application is shown. The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the water groove 130 on the baking tray 1 is not in the form of a ring-shaped water groove, but is in the form of a section of water groove arranged along the circumferential direction of the baking tray 1. Specifically, the water groove 130 of this embodiment has two sections arranged in sequence along the circumferential direction of the baking tray 1, and the outer peripheral edge of the baking tray 1 is further provided with an oil nozzle 14, and the two water grooves 130 are arranged adjacent to the oil nozzle 14 and are respectively located on the two sides of the oil nozzle 14. The oil nozzle 14 and the water groove 130 are arranged adjacent to each other, which on the one hand facilitates the processing of the baking tray 1, and on the other hand also facilitates the concentrated cleaning of the oil storage position of the baking tray 1 by the user.

[0050] Referring to Figure 5 , in order to correspond to the formation of two oil grooves on the baking tray 1, the second bottom of the baking tray 1 is correspondingly provided with two sections of water groove partition plates 13. In order to avoid the existence of dead angles in the cleaning of the baking tray 1, the water groove partition plate 13 extends in the form of a circular arc, and the two end portions in the length direction of the water groove partition plate 13 are smoothly connected between the inner side wall of the second side plate 12 of the baking tray 1. The height of the water groove partition plate 13 of this embodiment is lower than the height of the second side plate 12, which is the same as the water groove partition plate 13 in embodiment 1, so as to facilitate the water vapor formed in the water groove 130 to enter the cooking cavity.

[0051] On the basis of the above embodiments, other embodiments can be obtained by replacing and improving the related technical features. The annular step 2222 on the first side plate 222 of the reflector plate 22 can also be replaced by "having an annular support portion extending upwardly from the first bottom plate 221 of the reflector plate 22", and the second bottom plate 11 of the baking tray 1 is in contact with the annular support portion, so that a corresponding heating cavity 23 is formed between the baking tray 1 and the reflector plate 22, and the water groove 130 on the baking tray 1 is located above the heating cavity 23 or is opposite to the position where the annular support portion of the reflector plate 22 is located.
