Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smokehouse technology, and in particular to a smokehouse. Background Technology

[0002] A smokehouse is a type of oven used for baking food. It typically uses natural plants as raw materials, and the aroma of the natural plants is enhanced by smoking. Smoking is a processing method that uses the smoke from the incomplete combustion of fuel to smoke food, thereby changing the flavor of the product, improving its quality, and extending its shelf life.

[0003] In existing smokehouses, some require opening the oven door to add sawdust, while others require adding sawdust multiple times from the side. This can significantly affect the oven temperature and food heating time. Furthermore, the operation is easily affected by temperature, which can also make it difficult to replace the smoke box. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the issue that some existing smokehouses require opening the oven door when adding sawdust, while others require adding sawdust multiple times from the side, which significantly affects the oven temperature and food heating time, this application provides a smokehouse with the following specific solution.

[0005] A smokehouse includes a body and a smoke box. A grill is installed inside the body, and the smoke box is located inside the body. A lid is provided on the upper part of the smoke box, and the lid has multiple smoke holes. The lid and the smoke box are detachably connected. A slot is provided on the side wall of the body corresponding to the smoke box, and the smoke box is detachably connected to the slot. After extending into the slot, the smoke box is located below the grill. A heating plate is provided on the lower side of the smoke box, and an electric heating element is embedded in the heating plate.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting up a smoke box, the amount of sawdust stored in the smoke box is just right for one smoke session. Adding sawdust into the smoke box is more convenient, as it only requires removing the smoke box without opening the oven door or side door, thus minimizing the impact on temperature. The detachable connection between the smoke box and the oven body facilitates the cleaning of sawdust. Simultaneously, the smoke-filled holes on the lid effectively control the amount of smoke released during the smoking process, ensuring uniform smoking results. The design of the heating plate with embedded heating elements makes heating the sawdust more efficient, thereby improving smoking efficiency and ensuring smoking quality.

[0007] Optionally, a support frame is provided on the heating plate corresponding to the smoke box. The support frame can abut against the smoke box. Multiple damping protrusions are provided on the bottom of the smoke box corresponding to the support frame. Limiting protrusions are provided on the support frame corresponding to the damping protrusions. The limiting protrusions can abut against the damping protrusions to form interference.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, and setting up a support frame and damping protrusions, when there is an abnormality in the furnace or the internal air pressure is too high, the smoke box will slide outward to release the pressure. At this time, the damping protrusion is blocked by the limiting protrusion, which can prevent the smoke box from flying out of the furnace and posing a dangerous situation.

[0009] Optionally, a clearance space is left between the heating plate and the insertion slot, and a tail hook is provided at the end of the smoke box away from the insertion slot. The tail hook can abut against the inner wall of the furnace body next to the insertion slot, and the tail hook can be removed from the insertion slot when the smoke box corresponds to the clearance space.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the tail hook can further restrict the sliding out of the smoke box, further reducing the possibility of the smoke box flying out of the furnace body, while the space provided allows the smoke box to be taken out normally.

[0011] Optionally, the smoke box is provided with an inclined partition inside, which divides the smoke box into a sawdust area and a heat insulation area. The sawdust area is connected to the smoke hole and is located at the end away from the insertion slot, while the heat insulation area is located at the end closer to the insertion slot.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution and setting an inclined partition, the interior of the smoke box can be divided into two parts through a simple structure. The sawdust area is close to the lid and the smoke can be released through the smoke holes, while the heat insulation area isolates the high-temperature sawdust area, which can reduce the overheating of this part when taking out the smoke box and further improve the convenience of taking out the smoke box.

[0013] Optionally, a handle is provided at one end of the smoke box extending out of the furnace body, and the handle is located on the side of the heat insulation zone.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the handle is positioned on one side of the heat-insulated area, allowing users to avoid direct contact with the high-temperature area when operating the smoke box, thereby improving safety and convenience. The handle's position design fully utilizes the characteristics of the heat-insulated area, ensuring that heat is not transferred to the handle, further enhancing the user experience.

[0015] Optionally, an oil guide plate is provided between the smoking box and the grill, and an oil guide hole is provided on the oil guide plate. The oil guide plate is inclined and tilted towards the oil guide hole. A water basin is provided on the lower side of the oil guide plate, and the water basin is positioned corresponding to the position of the oil guide hole.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solutions, the inclined setting of the oil guide plate can effectively guide the oil generated during the baking process to flow into the oil guide hole, avoiding oil residue on the oil guide plate and causing contamination inside the smokehouse. The water basin is set at the position corresponding to the oil guide hole, which can collect the oil flowing out of the oil guide hole and immerse the oil in water for treatment, preventing oil from dripping onto the smoke box or the bottom of the oven, causing cleaning difficulties or fire hazards.

[0017] Optionally, the furnace body is provided with a grease tank, and a grease basin is detachably provided at the bottom of the furnace body. A grease hole is provided in the middle of the grease tank. The grease tank is inclined as a whole and tilted towards the grease hole. The grease basin is positioned corresponding to the position of the grease hole.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, some of the grease produced during cooking inside the oven will slide down the oven wall to the grease tray, then flow smoothly along the inclined grease tray to the grease hole, and finally be collected in the grease basin. This effectively prevents grease from accumulating inside the oven, thus keeping the oven interior clean. The removable grease basin makes it easy for users to clean and replace it regularly, improving the convenience of using the smokehouse.

[0019] Optionally, the oven body is also equipped with a meat temperature probe, which is positioned corresponding to the grill rack and is used to detect the temperature at the grill rack.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solutions, the temperature of the grill can be monitored in real time during the smoking process, thereby ensuring that the food is cooked within a suitable temperature range, avoiding overcooking or undercooking due to excessively high or low temperatures, and improving the quality and taste of smoked food.

[0021] Optionally, the furnace body is also provided with a hinged door, the hinged door is provided with a door lock, the door lock is used for detachable connection with the furnace body, and the hinged door is provided with a transparent viewing window.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solutions, the hinged door makes it more convenient for users to handle food, and the transparent window allows users to observe the internal smoking state without opening the oven, effectively reducing heat and smoke loss and improving smoking efficiency and effect.

[0023] Optionally, the furnace body is provided with an inspection port at the position corresponding to the heating element, and an inspection cover is detachably provided at the inspection port.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solutions, the installation of the inspection port facilitates the maintenance and repair of the heating element, and the detachable inspection cover makes the operation more convenient. The maintenance work can be completed without disassembling the entire furnace body, which effectively improves the maintainability of the equipment.

[0025] In summary, this application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0026] 1. This application solves the problem that some existing smokehouses require opening the oven door when adding wood chips, while others require adding wood chips multiple times from the side, which greatly affects the oven temperature and food heating time. This application solves the problem by installing a removable smoke box on the side wall of the oven body. Wood chips can be added into the smoke box for smoking. When cleaning the wood chips, only the smoke box needs to be cleaned. When the wood chips are insufficient, only the smoke box needs to be removed to replenish them. This has little impact on the internal temperature of the oven body and does not affect the actual heating time of the food.

[0027] 2. This application also provides a sloped partition inside the smoke box to divide the smoke box into a sawdust area and a heat insulation area, which can better separate the heated sawdust area from the part of the smoke box that needs to be removed, thus reducing the possibility of the smoke box becoming too hot to remove when it is taken out.

[0036] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0037] A type of smokehouse, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the oven includes a furnace body 1 and a smoke box 2. Multiple grill racks 11 are installed inside the furnace body 1, and multiple supports 111 are provided inside the furnace body 1 corresponding to the grill racks 11. The grill racks 11 can be placed on and supported by the supports 111. The smoke box 2 is located inside the furnace body 1.

[0038] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the upper part of the smoke box 2 is provided with a lid 21, and the lid 21 has multiple smoke holes 211. The lid 21 is detachably connected to the smoke box 2. The side wall of the furnace body 1 is provided with a corresponding insertion groove 27 for the smoke box 2. The smoke box 2 is detachably connected to the insertion groove 27. After the smoke box 2 extends into the insertion groove 27, it is located under the grill 11. A heating plate 121 is provided under the smoke box 2, and an electric heating tube 122 is embedded in the heating plate 121. In specific implementation, a mounting bracket 12 is provided inside the furnace body 1 corresponding to the heating plate 121. The heating plate 121 is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 12. When the electric heating tube 122 of the heating plate 121 is energized, it can heat the smoke box 2 located above it, thereby causing the sawdust in the smoke box 2 to burn and produce smoke.

[0039] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 A support frame 123 is provided on the heating plate 121 corresponding to the smoke box 2. The support frame 123 can abut against the smoke box 2. The bottom of the smoke box 2 is provided with multiple damping protrusions 22 corresponding to the support frame 123. The support frame 123 is provided with limiting protrusions 124 corresponding to the damping protrusions 22. The limiting protrusions 124 can abut against the damping protrusions 22 to form interference. A clearance space 271 is left between the heating plate 121 and the insertion slot 27. A tail hook 26 is provided at the end of the smoke box 2 away from the insertion slot 27. The tail hook 26 can abut against the inner wall of the furnace body 1 next to the insertion slot 27. When the smoke box 2 corresponds to the clearance space 271, the tail hook 26 can be removed from the insertion slot 27. In practice, three damping protrusions 22 are provided and are equidistantly spaced along the length of the smoke box 2. The damping protrusions 22 themselves are strip-shaped, and two limiting protrusions 124 are provided. When there is an abnormality in the furnace body 1 or the internal air pressure is too high, the smoke box 2 will slide outward to release the pressure. After being blocked by the three damping protrusions 22, the tail hook 26 then abuts against the inner wall of the furnace body 1, which can reduce the possibility of the smoke box 2 flying out of the furnace body 1. When it is necessary to remove the smoke box 2 normally, simply align the smoke box 2 with the clearance space 271 and rotate it at a small angle to remove the smoke box 2.

[0040] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the smoke box 2 has an inclined partition 23 inside, which divides the smoke box 2 into a sawdust area 24 and a heat insulation area 25. The sawdust area 24 is connected to the smoke hole 211 and is located at the end away from the insertion slot 27, while the heat insulation area 25 is located at the end closer to the insertion slot 27. A handle 28 is provided at the end of the smoke box 2 that extends out of the furnace body 1, and the handle 28 is located on the side of the heat insulation area 25. In specific implementation, the inclined partition 23 is made of heat-insulating material and is inclinedly set inside the smoke box 2 to divide the smoke box 2. Since the sawdust will burn and produce smoke when heated, the temperature of the sawdust area 24 will be higher than the temperature of the heat insulation area 25. Therefore, when taking out the smoke box 2, it is necessary to take out the smoke box 2 through the handle 28 on the side of the heat insulation area 25, which further improves the convenience of taking out the smoke box 2.

[0041] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, an oil guide plate 13 is provided between the smoke box 2 and the grill 11. The oil guide plate 13 has an oil guide hole 131. The oil guide plate 13 is inclined and tilted towards the oil guide hole 131. A water basin 14 is provided on the lower side of the oil guide plate 13, and the water basin 14 is positioned corresponding to the position of the oil guide hole 131. In practice, the oil guide plate 13 separates the grill 11 from the object below it. The grease left by cooking food on the grill 11 will drip onto the oil guide plate 13, and then drip along the oil guide hole 131 into the water basin 14. The water basin 14 is usually filled with a certain amount of water. The grease and water mix together, which can reduce the burning of the grease and also facilitate the collection and cleaning of the grease.

[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the oven body 1 has a grease tank 15, and a grease basin 16 is detachably installed at the bottom of the oven body 1. A grease hole 151 is located in the middle of the grease tank 15. The grease tank 15 is inclined and tilted towards the grease hole 151. The grease basin 16 is positioned corresponding to the grease hole 151. In practice, as food is baked inside the oven body 1, some grease is converted into fumes. These fumes condense back into grease dripping onto the inner wall of the oven body 1. The grease easily flows into the grease tank 15, where it is collected and ultimately deposited in the grease basin 16, further improving the convenience of grease collection and cleaning.

[0043] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a meat temperature probe 17 is also installed inside the oven body 1. The meat temperature probe 17 is positioned corresponding to the grill rack 11 and is used to detect the temperature at the grill rack 11. In practice, the meat temperature probe 17 can detect the smoking temperature at the grill rack 11, thereby determining the temperature of the food and reducing the impact of excessively high or low temperatures on the taste of the food.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the furnace body 1 is also equipped with a hinged door 18, and a door lock 181 is installed on the hinged door 18. The door lock 181 is used for detachable connection with the furnace body 1, and a transparent viewing window 182 is installed on the hinged door 18. In specific implementation, a control panel is also installed on the upper side of the hinged door 18 on the furnace body 1. The control panel can display the working status and working temperature of the furnace body 1, which can be easily observed and operated.

[0045] like Figure 5 As shown, a maintenance port 19 is provided on the furnace body 1 at the position corresponding to the heating element 122, and a maintenance cover 191 is detachably provided at the maintenance port 19. This embodiment further details the present application. In specific implementation, since the maintenance port 19 is positioned corresponding to the heating element 122, opening the maintenance cover 191 at the maintenance port 19 allows for maintenance of the heating element 122, improving the convenience of maintenance.

[0046] Working principle: By setting up a detachable smoke box, there is no need to open the cabinet door or add wood chips from the side, making it more convenient to add them all at once. At the same time, the smoke box can be used for depressurization and sliding out, and the sliding process is restricted to reduce the possibility of flying out.

[0047] The above are preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
