An automated charcoal grill Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of charcoal grilling technology, and specifically relates to a charcoal grilling oven that can be automatically controlled. Background Technology
[0002] A charcoal grill is a barbecue device used for grilling meat skewers, roast duck, and vegetables. Barbecue is becoming increasingly popular and is used almost everywhere in China. Currently, apart from some families who love barbecue or large restaurants that have formal charcoal grills, most small restaurants use simple charcoal grills as tools for processing meat products.
[0003] However, both traditional and simple charcoal grills control the temperature by adjusting the size of the air inlet at the bottom. Since different foods have different requirements for grilling temperature and time, a dedicated and experienced chef is needed to operate the charcoal grill. The chef must also keep a close eye on the grill and cannot leave, which is labor-intensive and further increases processing costs. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide an automated charcoal grill. This is achieved by assembling a control box assembly, which includes a control box body, a control panel, a fan, a temperature probe, and an air inlet duct. The control panel is located on one side of the control box body and is electrically connected to the fan and temperature probe via power lines. One end of the air inlet duct is installed at a second air inlet, and the other end is connected to the control box body. The fan is located inside the control box body and installed at the opening of the other end of the air inlet duct. The temperature probe is installed inside the grill body. Using this design, the program set on the control panel can automatically control the grill. The oven temperature and roasting time are controlled according to the characteristics of the ingredients. Temperature probes collect the temperature inside the oven, and fans control the airflow into the oven chamber. When the temperature is lower than the set temperature, the airflow can be increased; when the temperature is higher than the set temperature, the airflow can be reduced. Thus, the charcoal grill can be automated during operation, eliminating the need for a dedicated person to monitor the oven in real time.
