Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of barbecue oven technology, and in particular to an automatic barbecue oven. Background Technology

[0002] Barbecue grills are common kitchen utensils used for grilling skewers. To facilitate turning the skewers and ensure even heating, grills with automatic rotation for the skewers have gradually emerged. However, existing grills typically require specific skewers to function automatically. Due to these structural limitations, users cannot easily replace the skewers, making them inconvenient to use. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art and to provide an automatic barbecue grill.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] An automatic barbecue grill, comprising:

[0006] The oven body has an oven cavity. Along the height direction of the oven body, the oven cavity includes a heating groove and a grilling space that are interconnected and communicate with each other. The grilling space is located above the heating groove and extends along the length direction of the oven body to accommodate grill skewers. Multiple grill skewers can be arranged at intervals along the length direction of the grilling space and confined to the oven body.

[0007] A first gear, which is mounted on the furnace body;

[0008] An elastic clamping member is connected to the first gear and can rotate under the drive of the first gear so that the barbecue skewer can rotate around its own axis.

[0009] The elastic clamping member includes two clamping bodies, which close under elastic action and can open and clamp the barbecue skewer under the action of the barbecue skewer.

[0010] Understandably, the elastic clamps hold the skewers in place. When the skewers rotate, the elastic clamps use their own elastic deformation to grip them tightly. The two clamps apply a clamping force to the skewers, creating sufficient friction between them and causing the skewers to rotate together with the elastic clamps. Skewers of any cross-sectional shape can be clamped by the elastic clamps, making it easier to change skewers, grill different types of skewers, and use the product more conveniently.

[0011] In one embodiment, the end of the clamp is folded outward to form a clamping portion. When the two clamps are closed relative to each other, a guide opening is formed between the two clamping portions. The diameter of the guide opening gradually increases in the direction closer to the barbecue skewer.

[0012] In one embodiment, the clamp further includes a main body portion connected to the clamping portion, and the main body portion is configured as an arc-shaped structure.

[0013] In one embodiment, the first gear is provided with a drive shaft, which is connected to the elastic clamping member, so that the first gear drives the elastic clamping member to rotate through the drive shaft.

[0014] The elastic clamping member and the drive shaft are configured to be detachably connected.

[0015] In one embodiment, there are multiple elastic clamping members arranged at intervals along the length of the furnace body. There are multiple first gears, and each first gear corresponds to one of the elastic clamping members. Two adjacent first gears among the multiple gears mesh with each other.

[0016] In one embodiment, the automatic barbecue grill further includes a second gear that meshes with one of a plurality of first gears to cause the first gear to rotate under the drive of the second gear.

[0017] In one embodiment, a limiting groove is provided on one side wall of the grilling space, and a positioning hole is provided on the other side wall of the grilling space. The limiting groove and the positioning hole are correspondingly provided, and the grill skewer can pass through the positioning hole and the limiting groove to restrict the movement of the grill skewer along the length direction of the oven body.

[0018] In one embodiment, the furnace body further includes an inner plate and an outer plate, the inner plate and the outer plate are connected to each other to form an installation space, the elastic clamping member is located in the installation space, the positioning hole is located on the inner plate, and a first installation hole is provided on the outer plate;

[0019] A gear cover is connected to the side of the outer plate away from the inner plate. The gear cover covers the first gear. A second mounting hole is provided on the gear cover. The drive shaft passes through both the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole. The drive shaft can rotate relative to the hole wall of the first mounting hole under the drive of the first gear, so as to drive the elastic clamping member to rotate.

[0020] In one embodiment, the oven body further includes a guide plate connected to the inner plate on the side opposite to the outer plate. The guide plate has a guide hole and a preset gap is formed between the guide plate and the inner plate. The guide hole communicates with the positioning hole through the preset gap. The barbecue skewer can pass through the guide hole and the positioning hole in sequence and be clamped in the elastic clamping member.

[0021] In one embodiment, the furnace body is further provided with a motor, the output shaft of which drives the second gear to rotate.

[0022] The advantages of this utility model:

[0023] This utility model claims an automatic barbecue grill that uses elastic clamps to hold barbecue skewers. When the skewers rotate, the elastic clamps use their elastic deformation to grip the skewers tightly. The two clamps apply a clamping force to the skewers, creating sufficient friction between the clamps and the skewers, causing the skewers to rotate together with the elastic clamps. Barbecue skewers of any cross-sectional shape can be clamped by the elastic clamps, making it easier to change skewers and grill different types of skewers, thus making it more convenient to use.

[0037] Please see Figures 1 to 4 An embodiment of this utility model provides an automatic barbecue grill 100, which includes a grill body 10, a first gear 31, and an elastic clamping member 20. The grill body 10 has a grill cavity 11. Along the height direction of the grill body 10, the grill cavity 11 includes a heating groove 111 and a grilling space 112 that are interconnected and communicate with each other. The grilling space 112 is located above the heating groove 111 and extends along the length direction of the grill body 10 to accommodate barbecue skewers 200. Multiple barbecue skewers 200 can be arranged at intervals along the length direction of the grilling space 112 and confined on the grill body 10. The first gear 31 is installed on the grill body 10. The elastic clamping member 20 is connected to the first gear 31 and can rotate under the drive of the first gear 31 so that the barbecue skewers 200 can rotate around their own axis.

[0038] The elastic clamping member 20 includes two clamping bodies 21. The two clamping bodies 21 close under elastic action and open to clamp the barbecue skewer 200 under the action of the skewer. By using the elastic clamping member 20 to hold the barbecue skewer 200, when the barbecue skewer 200 rotates, the elastic clamping member 20 can use its own elastic deformation to clamp the skewer 200. The two clamping bodies 21 apply clamping force to the barbecue skewer 200, creating sufficient friction between the clamping bodies 21 and the barbecue skewer 200, causing the barbecue skewer 200 and the elastic clamping member 20 to rotate together. Barbecue skewers 200 of any cross-sectional shape can be clamped by the elastic clamping member 20, thus facilitating the replacement of the barbecue skewer 200 and the grilling of different skewers.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the heating slot 111 and the grilling space 112 are rectangular. The heating slot 111 is used to place a heating source, which can be a charcoal or other combustion heating source or an electric heating source. The heat generated by the heating source is used to grill the food in the grilling space 112 above.

[0040] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the elastic clamping member 20 has a sheet-like structure, and the clamping body 21 includes a main body 211 and a clamping part 212. The main body 211 and the clamping part 212 are connected to each other. The main body 211 is set as an arc-shaped structure, and the two main bodies 211 are combined to form a ring. Through reasonable structural design, the mechanical properties of the elastic clamping member 20 are optimized, stress concentration is avoided, the fatigue life of the material is improved, and the durability of the elastic clamping member 20 is enhanced.

[0041] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the clamping part 212 is formed by folding the end of the clamping body 21 outward. The clamping part 212 is arc-shaped. When the two clamping bodies 21 are closed relative to each other, a guide opening 2121 is formed between the two clamping parts 212. The diameter of the guide opening 2121 gradually increases towards the barbecue skewer 200. With this configuration, when the barbecue skewer 200 is inserted, the tip of the barbecue skewer 200 first enters the guide opening 2121, and then abuts against the clamping part 212 and pushes open the two clamping bodies 21, so that the barbecue skewer 200 can be inserted into the elastic clamping member 20.

[0042] Specifically, the elastic clamping element 20 is manufactured from spring steel in one piece.

[0043] It should be noted that the mass of barbecue skewers is usually relatively small, so the clamping force applied by the elastic clamp 20 to the barbecue skewers is sufficient to rotate the skewers 200 with the food on them. Of course, the clamping force of the elastic clamp 20 can be adjusted by changing the thickness or material of the elastic clamp 20, or an anti-slip structure can be provided on the clamp body 21 to increase the friction between the elastic clamp 20 and the barbecue skewers 200, which will not be elaborated here.

[0044] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment, a first gear 31 is fitted with a drive shaft 311, which is connected to an elastic clamping member 20, so that the first gear 31 drives the elastic clamping member 20 to rotate via the drive shaft. The elastic clamping member 20 and the drive shaft are detachably connected to facilitate replacement if the elastic clamping member 20 fails. Specifically, the connecting portion 22 of the elastic clamping member 20 is connected to the drive shaft 311 via bolts or cotter pins (not shown).

[0045] In this embodiment, there are multiple elastic clamping members 20, arranged at intervals along the length of the oven body 10. There are also multiple first gears 31, each corresponding to one of the elastic clamping members 20, with adjacent first gears 31 meshing with each other. Thus, no additional chain drive is needed; rotation of any one first gear 31 drives all the other first gears 31 to rotate together, causing all the elastic clamping members 20 to rotate together, which in turn drives all the barbecue skewers 200 to rotate together, ensuring that the food on the barbecue skewers 200 is heated evenly.

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, the automatic barbecue grill 100 further includes a second gear 32, the number of which is one. The second gear 32 meshes with one of the plurality of first gears 31, so that the first gear 31 rotates under the drive of the second gear 32.

[0047] In this embodiment, the furnace body 10 is also equipped with a motor (not shown in the figure), and the second gear 32 is connected to the output shaft of the motor, so that the motor drives the second gear 32 to rotate, thereby driving the first gear 31 and the elastic clamping member 20 to rotate.

[0048] Of course, in other embodiments, the output shaft of the motor can also be directly connected to one of the first gears 31 to drive multiple first gears 31 to rotate together.

[0049] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the furnace body 10 further includes an inner plate 12 and an outer plate 13. The inner plate 12 and the outer plate 13 are connected to each other and form an installation space 132. The elastic clamping member 20 is located in the installation space 132, the positioning hole 121 is located on the inner plate 12, and the outer plate 13 is provided with a first installation hole 131.

[0050] Furthermore, a gear cover plate 14 is connected to the side of the outer plate 13 away from the inner plate 12. The gear cover plate 14 covers the first gear 31. A second mounting hole 141 is provided on the gear cover plate 14. The transmission shaft 311 is limited by the gear cover plate 14 and the outer plate 13. The transmission shaft 311 passes through both the first mounting hole 131 and the second mounting hole 141. The transmission shaft 311 can rotate relative to the hole wall of the first mounting hole 131 under the drive of the first gear 31, so as to drive the elastic clamping member 20 to rotate, thereby realizing the installation of the first gear 31 on the furnace body 10.

[0051] In one embodiment, a limiting groove 122 is provided on one side wall of the grilling space 112, and a positioning hole 121 is provided on the other side wall of the grilling space 112. The limiting groove 122 is correspondingly provided with the positioning hole 121, and the grill skewer 200 can pass through the positioning hole 121 and the limiting groove 122 to limit the movement of the grill skewer 200 along the length direction of the oven body 10 and prevent the grill skewer 200 from being displaced.

[0052] In one embodiment, the oven body 10 further includes a guide plate 15, which is connected to the inner plate 12 on the side opposite to the outer plate 13. The guide plate 15 has a guide hole 151, and the inner plate 12 has a positioning hole 121. A preset gap 152 is formed between the guide plate 15 and the inner plate 12. The guide hole 151 communicates with the positioning hole 121 through the preset gap 152. The barbecue skewer 200 can pass through the guide hole 151 and the positioning hole 121 sequentially and be clamped in the elastic clamping member 20. The barbecue skewer 200 passes through both the guide hole 151 and the positioning hole 121 sequentially, facilitating precise guidance of the barbecue skewer 200 to the position of the elastic clamping member 20, resulting in more accurate positioning of the barbecue skewer 200.

[0053] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0054] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the patent protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the appended claims.
