Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food equipment, specifically to a barbecue module interchange mechanism, and a barbecue machine including such a barbecue module interchange mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, hot dog machines are commonly used to cook flavored foods such as sausages and hot dogs. Specifically, the sausage is placed on the grilling tube inside the hot dog machine, and the sausage is rotated and flipped evenly by controlling the rotation of the grilling tube at a constant speed. The sausage is then cooked by the heating element built into the hot dog machine.
[0003] For making skewers (such as beef and lamb skewers, chicken wings, vegetable skewers, etc.), a special electric barbecue grill is required. First, the food to be grilled is skewered onto iron barbecue skewers, and then the skewers are placed into the rotating mechanism of the electric barbecue grill. By controlling the skewers to rotate evenly, the food is rotated and flipped evenly, and the food is cooked through the heating element.
[0004] In scenarios where both types of food need to be prepared simultaneously, such as barbecue stalls or family gatherings, people expect to be able to offer both grilled sausages and skewers to enrich the food selection. However, in such situations, it is necessary to equip both a dedicated hot dog machine and an electric barbecue grill. Using two devices simultaneously is costly, takes up a lot of space, and is inconvenient to operate. Moreover, the operator needs to observe and control the heat of the food being grilled on both devices at the same time to prevent burning, which is very time-consuming and makes it difficult for the operator to maintain consistent control over both foods, often resulting in poor quality food.
[0005] In addition, when the production quantities of these two types of food differ significantly, for example, if you only want to grill a small number of hot dogs, such as two or three, then specifically starting the hot dog grill will incur higher costs; similarly, if you only want to grill a small number of skewers, such as two or three, then specifically starting the electric grill will also incur higher costs.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0031] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0033] This utility model discloses a barbecue module interchange mechanism, which is applied to barbecue equipment.
[0034] See Figures 1-6This utility model includes a first mounting frame 10, a second mounting frame 20, a skewer module, and a sausage module 40. The first mounting frame 10 has multiple mounting holes 11 arranged in a row, and rotating gears 50 for outputting rotational motion are arranged inside the mounting holes 11. It is understood that the rotating gears 50 are also connected to a drive source such as a drive motor via a transmission component. The second mounting frame 20 has multiple strip-shaped slots 21, and the second mounting frame 20 and the first mounting frame 10 are arranged opposite each other. The mounting holes 11 are evenly arranged at a certain interval on the first mounting frame 10, and the strip-shaped slots 21 are evenly arranged at the same interval on the second mounting frame 20; the number and position of the strip-shaped slots 21 correspond one-to-one with the mounting holes 11, and both are arranged opposite each other in the same horizontal direction.
[0035] See Figure 4 The skewer module includes skewers 30. One end of the skewer 30 is inserted into the mounting hole 11 and connected to the rotating gear 50, while the other end is rotatably disposed in the strip groove 21. The rotating gear 50 drives the skewer 30 to rotate evenly. The skewer 30 has at least one pointed structure for threading food onto the skewer; the skewer 30 also has a spiral structure to prevent food from falling off the skewer.
[0036] See Figure 5 The sausage grilling module 40 includes at least a grilling tube 41 and a rotating shaft 42. The grilling tube 41 has a hollow interior. The rotating shaft 42 passes through the grilling tube 41 and is radially fixed to it, allowing the rotating shaft 42 to drive the grilling tube 41 to rotate. One end of the rotating shaft 42 is inserted into the mounting hole 11 of the first mounting bracket 10 and connected to the rotating gear 50. The other end is rotatably disposed in the strip groove 21 of the second mounting bracket 20. The rotating gear 50 drives the entire sausage grilling module 40 to rotate evenly. Sausages or hot dogs are placed in the gaps between pairs of grilling tubes 41 and rotate with the grilling tubes 41, thus achieving flipping.
[0037] The principle of this invention is that a skewer module and a sausage module 40 can be simultaneously arranged between the first mounting bracket 10 and the second mounting bracket 20. Specifically, for the skewer module, one end of the skewer 30 is inserted into the rotating gear 50 for outputting rotational motion, and the other end is rotatably hung on the slot 21 of the second mounting bracket 20; for the sausage module 40, one end of the rotating shaft 42 is inserted into the rotating gear 50 for outputting rotation, and the other end is rotatably hung on the slot 21 of the second mounting bracket 20. During disassembly, one end of the skewer 30 or the rotating shaft 42 is pulled out from the rotating gear 50 and then removed upwards. Therefore, the skewer 30 and the sausage module 40 can be freely disassembled and their installation positions interchanged, allowing any number of skewers 30 or sausage modules 40 to be arranged between the two mounting brackets.
[0038] The technical advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0039] (1) This utility model satisfies the needs of both grilled skewers and grilled sausages. It provides two different types of processed food with one device. While enriching the variety of food, it has the advantages of low cost, small space occupation, and convenient operation. At the same time, it is also conducive to the operator to observe and control the temperature of the two foods at the same time, ensuring the quality of grilling.
[0040] (2) This utility model can freely arrange any number of kebab modules or sausage modules 40, and the kebab modules and sausage modules 40 can be disassembled and interchanged at will, which can meet the ratio requirements of any number of sausages and kebabs. For example, when the demand for kebabs is small, the original kebab module can be disassembled and replaced with the sausage module 40. Therefore, the equipment has strong application flexibility and versatility, can meet various different grilling needs, and is conducive to promotion.
[0041] Preferably, see Figure 3 The sausage grilling module 40 also includes a sealing element 43, which is fitted into both ends of the sausage grilling tube 41. The sealing element 43 has a through hole into which the rotating shaft 42 is inserted, thereby radially fixing the rotating shaft 42 and the sealing element 43. More preferably, the through hole on the sealing element 43 is a square hole structure, and the rotating shaft 42 is a square shaft structure. This square shaft-hole fit facilitates the transmission of rotational motion from the rotating column to the sausage grilling tube 41.
[0042] More preferably, the seal 43 is made of silicone or rubber. The elasticity of silicone helps the seal 43 to be inserted into the sausage tube 41 and achieve a good sealing effect. At the same time, the seal 43 tightly wraps the rotating shaft 42 with good elasticity, thereby ensuring the stable transmission of rotational motion.
[0043] Preferably, see Figures 3-5 The strip groove 21 is vertically arranged, with its top end extending through the top of the second mounting bracket 20. The barbecue skewers 30 or the rotating shaft 42 are rotatably hung at the bottom end of the strip groove 21. This structure allows the barbecue skewers 30 or the rotating shaft 42 to be pulled upwards and removed after being disengaged from the rotating gear 50. During installation, the barbecue skewers 30 or the rotating shaft 42 can be placed downwards onto the second mounting bracket 20 and then horizontally inserted into the rotating gear 50, making the installation and disassembly of the barbecue skewer module or sausage module 40 quick and convenient.
[0044] Preferably, the barbecue skewer 30 and the rotating shaft 42 have the same structure, that is, the barbecue skewer 30 can be directly used as the rotating shaft 42 of the sausage module 40. This improves the versatility of the parts, reduces the number of parts required for the equipment, and makes the interchangeability between the barbecue skewer module and the sausage module 40 stronger.
[0045] More preferably, see Figures 4-5 The rotating gear 50 has an inner cavity that tightly houses a gear core 60. The gear core 60 has a mounting hole for connecting a barbecue skewer 30 or a rotating shaft 42. The barbecue skewer 30 or the rotating shaft 42 is inserted into the gear core 60. Since the rotating gear 50 needs to cooperate with the barbecue skewer 30 or the rotating shaft 42 to transmit rotational motion, machining the gear is relatively inconvenient. Therefore, a gear core 60 is built into the gear. Similar to the seal 43, the gear core 60 can also be made of silicone or rubber, thus facilitating hole machining and maintenance / replacement.
[0046] Preferably, see Figure 6 This utility model also includes an oil collection tray 70 for collecting grease dripping during grilling. The oil collection tray 70 is located at the bottom of the grill skewers 30 and the sausage module 40, and the first mounting bracket 10 and the second mounting bracket 20 are fixed on both sides of the oil collection tray 70.
[0047] Preferably, the present invention also includes a heating element for heating and grilling food. The heating element is disposed at the top or bottom of the grilling skewer module and the sausage module 40. The heating element can be an electric heating tube or the like. It is understood that the heating element is connected to a power source via control circuitry, which is known to those skilled in the art.
[0048] This utility model also discloses a barbecue grill, including the aforementioned barbecue module interchange mechanism. Any barbecue equipment that uses the same or substantially the same barbecue module interchange mechanism should be within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0049] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
