Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of smokehouse technology, and more specifically, in particular to a safe smokehouse. Background Technology

[0002] A smokehouse is used to flavor food or cook it by smoking. Existing smokehouses typically consist of food placed inside a cavity, a wood chip box containing wood chips or wood pellets of various flavors, and an electric heating element at the bottom of the wood chip box to heat it. A temperature sensor is installed on the inner wall of the cavity to detect the temperature and control the power of the heating element; when the cavity reaches a specified temperature, the heating element's power decreases. However, when the temperature sensor comes into contact with food or is covered by other objects, it may fail to reach the specified temperature, reducing its accuracy. The heating element may also remain at high power, leading to heat buildup inside the wood chip box and potentially causing it to explode, thus increasing the smokehouse's safety risk. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application is to address the shortcomings of the prior art and propose a safe smokehouse with high temperature sensor accuracy and low wood chip box deflagration rate.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application proposes a safe smoking oven, including a housing and a temperature sensor. The housing has a receiving cavity, and the smoking oven also includes a shielding part. The temperature sensor and the shielding part are both fixed to the housing. The temperature sensor is partially or entirely located in the receiving cavity, and the shielding part shields the temperature sensor.

[0005] The housing includes a rear wall, and the temperature sensor and the shielding part are both fixed to the rear wall.

[0006] The shielding part includes a main body, which is disposed opposite to the rear wall and a distance is maintained between the main body and the rear wall. The temperature sensor located in the receiving cavity is positioned between the main body and the rear wall.

[0007] The projection of the temperature sensor onto the plane of the rear wall is located inside the projection of the main body onto the plane of the rear wall.

[0008] The shielding part includes a support leg, which is integrally formed or fixedly connected to the main body. One end of the support leg is fixed to the rear wall, and the other end of the support leg is fixed to the main body. The support leg supports the main body.

[0009] The main body has multiple through holes.

[0010] The smoking oven also includes an oil receiving tray and a support part. The support part is fixed to the shell and supports the oil receiving tray. A baffle is provided at one end of the support part near the rear wall. The baffle and the oil receiving tray are kept at a distance from the rear wall.

[0011] The smokehouse includes a heating element, and the temperature sensor can control the heating element to turn on, off, and adjust its power.

[0012] Beneficial effects:

[0013] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, this application has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0014] 1. The smokehouse of this application has a shield in front of the temperature sensor, which reduces the possibility of food coming into contact with the temperature sensor, thereby making the temperature sensor detection highly accurate;

[0015] 2. When the temperature sensor reaches the specified temperature, the power of the heating component can be changed to improve the detection accuracy of the temperature sensor and reduce the deflagration rate of the smokehouse. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The embodiments of this application will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a safe smokehouse according to this application includes a housing 1 and a wood chip box 2. The wood chip box 2 is detachably fixed to the housing 1. After the wood chip box 2 is detached, the user can add wood particles or wood chips into the wood chip box 2. The housing 1 has a receiving cavity 11, and the wood chip box 2 is partially or completely housed in the receiving cavity 11, with the wood chip box 2 located in the lower region of the receiving cavity 11. The receiving cavity 11 is provided with a heating component 3 for heating the wood chip box 2, and the heating component 3 is located below the wood chip box 2.

[0025] The shell 1 includes an outer side wall 13 and an inner side wall 14. The inner side wall 14 faces the receiving cavity 11, or the inner side wall 14 forms the wall of the receiving cavity 11. The outer side wall 13 is away from the receiving cavity 11 and is in contact with the outside air. That is, the outer side wall 13 and the receiving cavity 11 are located on opposite sides of the inner side wall 14. A distance is maintained between the outer side wall 13 and the inner side wall 14. The outer side wall 13 and the inner side wall 14 can be a solid structure of the same material; the space between the outer side wall 13 and the inner side wall 14 can also be hollow, or the hollow space can be filled with other materials, such as thermal insulation materials. In this application, thermal insulation material is filled between the outer side wall 13 and the inner side wall 14.

[0026] The side wall of the housing 1 is also provided with a through hole 12, which connects the receiving cavity 11 to the outside. The through hole 12 is located near the heating component 3. When the wood chip box 2 is installed into the housing 1, part of the wood chip box 2 is located in the receiving cavity 11 and part of the wood chip box 2 is located in the through hole 12. The wood chip box 2 located in the receiving cavity 11 enters and exits the receiving cavity 11 through the through hole 12. The user can remove the wood chip box 2 to place wood chips or wood particles.

[0027] The wood chip box 2 is at least partially hollow, and the hollow structure is used to hold wood chips, wood particles, or wood flakes, etc., and the hollow structure is located within the receiving cavity 11. The wood chip box 2, located in the receiving cavity 11, is above the heating component 3, and the heating component 3 and the wood chip box 2 are kept at a distance to avoid contact between the heating component 3 and the box body 21, thereby reducing the possibility of the wood particles at the bottom of the wood chip box 2 burning due to excessive heat transfer with the heating component 3. Furthermore, the heating component 3 is provided with a heating shell 31 to protect the heating component 3. The heating shell 31 is kept at a distance from the heating component 3, and the wood chip box 2 located in the receiving cavity 11 can be placed directly on the heating shell 31, with the lower wall of the wood chip box 2 partially or completely opposite to the upper wall of the heating shell 31. The wood chip box 2 has an installation position and a withdrawal position relative to the heating component 3. When the wood chip box 2 is installed, it is located in the installation position of the heating component 3. When the wood chip box 2 is completely pulled out from the receiving cavity 11, it is in the withdrawal position. The wood chip box 2 can move between the installation position and the withdrawal position, or the wood chip box 2 can change its position between the installation position and the withdrawal position.

[0028] The smokehouse is also equipped with a temperature sensor 4, which is partially or entirely located within the receiving cavity 11. The sensing portion of the temperature sensor 4 is located within the receiving cavity 11, or the sensing portion of the temperature sensor 4 is in communication with the gas within the receiving cavity 11, allowing the temperature sensor 4 to detect the temperature within the receiving cavity 11. The temperature sensor 4 and the heating component 3 are both electrically connected to the smokehouse controller, enabling the temperature sensor 4 to control the power of the heating component 3 or to control the on / off state of the heating component 3. When the temperature sensor 4 detects that the temperature of the receiving cavity 11 has reached a specified temperature, the power of the heating component 3 decreases as the temperature sensor 4 increases, thus stabilizing the temperature inside the receiving cavity 11 within a certain range. It is understood that the temperature sensor 4 is in contact with the gas or smoke generated by wood particles within the receiving cavity 11.

[0029] Temperature sensor 4 is mounted on housing 1. Specifically, temperature sensor 4 is fixed to inner wall 14. The wire of temperature sensor 4 is located between outer wall 13 and inner wall 14 and is connected to the controller of smokehouse.

[0030] The smokehouse is also equipped with food racks 5 and drip trays 6. Multiple food racks 5 are provided for placing food. Both ends of the food racks 5 are detachably connected to the inner wall 14, or the two ends of the food racks are movably connected to the inner wall 14. The drip tray 6 is located below the food racks 5 and is used to collect dripping oil from them. In this embodiment, the drip tray 6 is located above the sawdust box 2, so that when the smoke emitted from the sawdust box 2 passes through the drip tray 6, the accumulated smoke can be dispersed, resulting in a more uniform temperature within the cavity 11.

[0031] Temperature sensor 4 protrudes at least partially from the inner wall 14. In the vertical direction of the smokehouse, temperature sensor 4 is located above the oil tray 6, specifically above the lowermost food rack 5 and below the uppermost food rack 5.

[0032] The inner wall 14 includes a rear wall 141 and side walls. The temperature sensor 4 is fixed to the rear wall 141. The two sides of the oil receiving tray 6 are connected to the side walls of the two inner walls 14. Specifically, the oil receiving tray 6 is supported by a support part 61, which is fixed to the side wall of the inner wall 14 and is detachably connected to the oil receiving tray 6. The support part 61 supports both ends of the oil receiving tray 6.

[0033] A baffle 611 is provided at one end of the support 61 near the rear wall 141. The baffle 611 maintains a distance from the rear wall 141, which is between 0.5cm and 4cm. In this embodiment, the distance between the baffle 611 and the rear wall 141 is 2cm. When the oil receiving tray 6 is installed on the support 61, the oil receiving tray 6 also maintains a distance from the rear wall 141, and this distance is greater than or equal to the distance between the baffle 611 and the rear wall 141. The baffle 611 has a certain height, which is between 1cm and 5cm. In this embodiment, the height of the baffle 611 is 3cm. The height of the baffle 611 reduces the possibility that the structural tray may come into contact with the rear wall 141 due to improper installation by the user.

[0034] A shielding part 41 is also provided at the temperature sensor 4 to shield the temperature sensor 4, reducing the possibility of food on the food rack 5 coming into contact with the temperature sensor 4. The shielding part 41 includes a main body 411 and a support leg 412. The shielding part 41 is integrally formed, or the shielding part 41 is welded together from the main body 411 and the support leg 412. The main body 411 is fixedly connected to the rear wall 141 via the support leg 412, and the plane of the main body 411 is parallel to the plane of the rear wall 141; or, the temperature sensor 4 located in the receiving cavity 11 is located between the plane of the main body 411 and the plane of the rear wall 141. The main body 411 does not contact the temperature sensor 4, that is, the main body 411 maintains a distance from the rear wall 141. In the vertical direction of the smokehouse, there is a cylindrical body with openings at the top and bottom between the main body 411 and the rear wall 141, and the temperature sensor 4 located in the receiving cavity 11 is located in the aforementioned cylindrical body. It is understood that the main body 411 is arranged opposite to the rear wall 141, and the temperature sensor 4 located in the receiving cavity 11 is located between the main body 411 and the rear wall 141. The projection of the temperature sensor 4 onto the plane of the rear wall 141 is located inside the projection of the main body 411 onto the rear wall 141.

[0035] When smoke is generated inside the wood chip box 2, because there is a distance between the oil receiving tray 6 and the rear wall 141, there is a gap or opening between the oil receiving tray 6 and the rear wall 141. The smoke below the oil receiving tray 6 can rise above the oil receiving tray 6 through the gap between the oil receiving tray 6 and the rear wall 141. The smoke rises along the rear wall 141 and enters the cylinder between the main body 411 and the rear wall 141, so that the smoke comes into contact with the temperature sensor 4.

[0036] The main body 411 is provided with multiple through holes 12, which connect the cylinder and the receiving cavity 11, making it easier for smoke to enter the cylinder and improving the stability of the temperature sensor 4 detection.
