Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of barbecue oven accessories, and in particular to an oil collector for a barbecue oven. Background Technology

[0002] The grease trap in a barbecue grill is an important auxiliary component, primarily used to collect grease and food residue dripping from the surface of food during grilling. This prevents grease from directly contacting the heat source, which could produce harmful fumes or ignite flames, while also keeping the grilling equipment clean and safe to use. Existing grease traps typically employ a simple metal or high-temperature resistant plastic tray structure, installed below the heat source of the grill or at the end of the grill rack.

[0003] However, this type of oil collection box has obvious defects in actual use: after grease and food residue fall into the box together, they mix together and form a viscous oil residue mixture after cooling. Not only is it difficult to separate during cleaning, it is easy to cause odor and bacterial growth, but the grease also makes cleaning more difficult due to the residue, and even requires the use of chemical cleaning agents. This does not meet environmental protection requirements and increases the maintenance burden on users. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application discloses an oil collector for a barbecue grill, comprising a vertical plate mounted on the grill. An oil outlet is provided on the vertical plate, and an oil collection box is hinged to the plate. A filter assembly is inserted into the oil collection box, with the oil outlet located at the first end of the box, which is lower than the second end. Through this technical solution, the inclined oil collection box allows residue flowing with the oil to settle naturally. As the upper layer of oil gradually increases, it undergoes secondary filtration by the filter assembly, ensuring that the oil at the second end of the collection box is relatively clean.

[0005] Furthermore, the filter assembly includes a first clamping plate and a second clamping plate, with filter paper sandwiched between the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate. A positioning protrusion is installed inside the oil collection box, and positioning grooves are provided on the sides of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate. The positioning grooves cooperate with the positioning protrusions for positioning.

[0006] Furthermore, a vertical groove is provided on the side of the oil collection box, and clamping plate one and clamping plate two are inserted into the vertical groove for fixation. Through the above technical solution, clamping plate one and clamping plate two can quickly clamp the filter paper and fix it in the oil collection box for easy replacement. The positioning protrusion and positioning groove can also provide positioning, further improving the replacement efficiency, while ensuring that there are no gaps at the edges to avoid oil leakage.

[0007] Furthermore, a flow collection groove is provided on the inner side of the second end of the oil collection box, and a straight groove is connected to the flow collection groove, with an oil drain pipe connected inside the straight groove.

[0008] Furthermore, a horizontal plate is fixedly installed on the lower side of the vertical plate, and a small limiting plate is installed on the horizontal plate. A limiting shaft is rotatably installed inside the small limiting plate, and a locking block is fixedly installed on the limiting shaft. In the natural state, the locking block presses against the oil collection box. After the oil collection box is lifted, the locking block moves to the lower side of the oil collection box for limiting.

[0009] Furthermore, the first end of the oil collection box is heavier than the second end. In its natural state, it rotates around the hinge point until the first end contacts the horizontal plate. Through this technical solution, in use, the weight of the first end of the oil collection box keeps it relatively low. As oil gradually flows in, residue sinks and clear oil floats. After use, the locking block can be placed under the first end of the oil collection box, making the first end higher than the second end, thus allowing the oil at the first end to be poured out. This solution is easier to clean and enables better solid-liquid separation.

[0010] Furthermore, the first end of the oil collection box is provided with a square hole, a square rod is slidably installed in the square hole, a lead screw is installed in the square rod, and a cleaning plate is installed at the end of the square rod, with the cleaning plate fitting against the inner wall of the oil collection box.

[0011] Furthermore, a cleaning shaft is rotatably mounted on the end of the square rod, a mating square plate is fixedly mounted on the cleaning shaft, and a cleaning plate is fixedly mounted on the lower side of the mating square plate. In its natural state, the small limiting plate, the cleaning plate and the square rod remain perpendicular to each other.

[0012] Furthermore, a limit block is provided on the cleaning shaft, and the cooperating square plate is tightly attached to the limit block under the action of the cleaning torsion spring. The square rod is threaded and cooperates with the lead screw. A top ball is fixedly installed at the end of the lead screw, and the top ball is in contact with the cooperating square plate. Through the above technical solution, the cleaning plate can repeatedly scrape the inside of the oil collection box for cleaning. The cleaning plate can also be retracted under the control of the lead screw. After scraping, the cleaning plate is retracted and moved inward, and then lowered to fit against the inner wall of the oil collection box, cleaning the residue on the inner wall of the oil collection box outward. It can also squeeze the residue onto the inner wall of the first end of the oil collection box, squeezing out the oil in the residue, making the cleaning more thorough and the solid-liquid separation more complete.

[0013] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are: (1) Through the technical solution of this application, the inclined oil collection box can allow the residue flowing out with the oil to settle on its own. After the upper layer of oil gradually increases, it is filtered twice by the filter component to ensure that the oil at the second end of the oil collection box is relatively clean.

[0014] (2) Through the technical solution of this application, clamping plate one and clamping plate two can quickly clamp the filter paper and fix it in the oil collection box, which is convenient for replacement. The positioning protrusion and positioning groove can also provide positioning, further improving the replacement efficiency. At the same time, it can ensure that there are no gaps at the edges and avoid oil leakage.

[0015] (3) Through the technical solution of this application, the first end of the oil collection box is lowered by its own weight when in use. When the oil gradually flows in, the residue sinks and the clear oil floats. If it is finished, the locking block can be locked on the lower side of the first end of the oil collection box so that the first end of the oil collection box is higher than the second end. In this way, the oil at the first end can be poured out. This solution is easier to clean and can better separate solids and liquids.

[0016] (4) Through the technical solution of this application, the cleaning plate can repeatedly scrape the inside of the oil collection box for cleaning, and the cleaning plate can also be retracted by the control of the screw. After scraping, the cleaning plate is retracted and moved inward, and then the cleaning plate is lowered to fit against the inner wall of the oil collection box, cleaning the residue on the inner wall of the oil collection box outward, and the residue can also be squeezed onto the inner wall of the first end of the oil collection box, squeezing out the oil in the residue, cleaning more thoroughly, and solid-liquid separation is also more thorough.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] To gain a better understanding of the technical solution and beneficial effects of this utility model, the technical solution and its beneficial effects will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] like Figures 1-8 As shown, an oil collector for a barbecue grill includes a vertical plate 1, which is mounted on the barbecue grill. An oil outlet 2 is provided on the vertical plate 1. An oil collection box 15 is hinged to the vertical plate 1, and a filter assembly is inserted into the oil collection box 15. The oil outlet 2 is located at the first end of the oil collection box 15. Under normal conditions without external force, the height of the first end of the oil collection box 15 is lower than that of the second end (e.g., ...). Figure 3 (State). In this embodiment, the first end of the oil collection box 15 is heavier than the second end because the oil is collected when the first end of the oil collection box 15 is low, and the oil accumulates in the oil collection box 15. Therefore, the side wall of the first end is set higher to prevent excessive oil from flowing out. In other embodiments, a torsion spring is set at the hinge point between the oil collection box 15 and the vertical plate 1 to keep the first end of the oil collection box 15 in a lower position. Through the above technical solution, the inclined oil collection box 15 can allow the residue flowing out with the oil to settle on its own. After the upper layer of oil gradually increases, it undergoes secondary filtration by the filter assembly to ensure that the oil at the second end of the oil collection box 15 is relatively clean.

[0028] In this embodiment, the filter assembly includes a first clamping plate 9 and a second clamping plate 10, with filter paper 16 clamped between them. A positioning protrusion 12 is installed inside the oil collection box 15. Positioning grooves 11 are provided on the sides of the first clamping plate 9 and the second clamping plate 10, and these grooves cooperate with the positioning protrusions 12 for positioning. A protrusion is provided on the inner edge of the first clamping plate 9, and a groove is provided on the inner edge of the second clamping plate 10. The filter paper 16 is placed in the groove of the second clamping plate 10 and secured by the protrusion of the first clamping plate 9, thus providing both positioning and stable fixation of the filter paper 16. This design is simple to operate and allows for quick replacement of the filter paper 16. A vertical groove is provided on the side of the oil collection box 15, and the first clamping plate 9 and the second clamping plate 10 are inserted into the vertical groove for fixation. The positioning protrusion 12 is made of a flexible, soft material, such as rubber. The positioning protrusion 12 is pressed into place by the sides of the clamping plates 9 and 10, eventually locking into the positioning groove 11. Through this technical solution, the clamping plates 9 and 10 can quickly clamp the filter paper 16 and fix it within the oil collection box 15 for easy replacement. The positioning protrusion 12 and the positioning groove 11 also provide positioning, further improving replacement efficiency, while ensuring no gaps at the edges to prevent oil leakage.

[0029] In this embodiment, a collection trough 13 is provided on the inner side of the second end of the oil collection box 15. A straight trough 14 is connected to the collection trough 13, and an oil drain pipe 17 is connected inside the straight trough 14. The collection trough 13, the straight trough 14, and the oil drain pipe 17 form a flow channel. When the height of the first end is low, as the oil is collected, the oil level rises, and sediments such as residues sink. The height of the upper clear oil increases, and after secondary filtration by the filter assembly, it flows to the second end of the oil collection box 15. The channel is located at a lower position in the second end of the oil collection box 15. After the oil level rises, it preferentially flows from the collection trough 13 and the straight trough 14 to the oil drain pipe 17 for collection.

[0030] In this embodiment, a horizontal plate 3 is fixedly mounted on the lower side of the vertical plate 1. A small limiting plate 4 is mounted on the horizontal plate 3, and a limiting shaft 7 is rotatably mounted inside the small limiting plate 4. A locking block 5 is fixedly mounted on the limiting shaft 7. In its natural state, the locking block 5 presses against the side of the oil collection box 15, at which time the first end of the oil collection box 15 is lower, and the bottom surface of the first end of the oil collection box 15 contacts the horizontal plate 3. After the oil collection box 15 is lifted, the locking block 5 moves to the lower side of the oil collection box 15 for limiting. In the use state, the weight of the first end of the oil collection box 15 keeps the first end relatively low. As oil gradually flows in, the residue sinks and the clear oil floats. If the oil collection box 15 is finished, the locking block 5 can be locked under the first end of the oil collection box 15, so that the first end of the oil collection box 15 is higher than the second end. This allows the oil accumulated at the first end to be poured out. This solution is easier to clean and can achieve better solid-liquid separation.

[0031] In this embodiment, a square hole 27 is provided at the first end of the oil collection box 15. A square rod 20 is slidably installed in the square hole 27. A lead screw 18 is installed in the square rod 20. A cleaning plate 25 is installed at the first end of the square rod 20. A handle 19 is installed at one end of the lead screw 18. The cleaning plate 25 is attached to the inner wall of the oil collection box 15. A cleaning shaft 22 is rotatably installed at the end of the square rod 20. A matching square plate 24 is fixedly installed on the cleaning shaft 22. The cleaning plate 25 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the matching square plate 24. A cleaning torsion spring 23 is sleeved on the cleaning shaft 22. The first end of the cleaning torsion spring 23 is fixed to the cleaning shaft 22. The second end of the cleaning torsion spring 23 is fixedly connected to the square rod 20. In the natural state, the cleaning plate 25 and the square rod 20 are perpendicular to each other. The square rod 20 is parallel to the bottom surface of the oil collection box 15. During the cleaning process, the cleaning plate 25 is attached to the inner bottom surface of the oil collection box 15 for cleaning. A limit block 26 is provided on the cleaning shaft 22. The square plate 24, under the action of the cleaning torsion spring 23, is tightly pressed against the limit block 26. During the cleaning process, the square rod 20 is manually dragged, causing the limit block 26, the square plate 24, and the cleaning plate 25 to repeatedly move within the first end of the oil collection box 15. The cleaning plate 25 cleans the inside of the oil collection box 15. When moving towards the second end, the cleaning plate 25 and the limit block 26 move simultaneously. Due to friction between the lower side of the cleaning plate 25 and the bottom surface inside the oil collection box 25, the cleaning plate 25 rotates during movement. The rotation direction is that the bottom of the cleaning plate 25 moves away from the limit block 26, preventing the residue from being completely pushed to the second end of the oil collection box. The square rod 20 then moves the cleaning plate 25 closer to the oil collection box. When the first end of the box 15 moves, the cleaning plate 25 adheres to the inner wall of the oil collection box 15. Under the action of friction, the cleaning plate 25 gradually approaches and eventually adheres to the limiting block 26. The limiting block 26 prevents the cleaning plate 25 from rotating during this movement. Therefore, the cleaning plate 25 stays close to the lower side of the inside of the square box during this movement, which can remove the sticky residue. (When moving in the opposite direction, since there is no limiting block 26 to restrict the counterclockwise rotation of the cleaning plate 25, the cleaning plate will rotate counterclockwise and cannot remove the residue.) Therefore, moving towards the second end of the oil collection box 15 does not carry the residue, and moving towards the first end of the oil collection box 15 cleans the residue. This cleaning will not cause the residue to fall into the channel at the second end.

[0032] In this embodiment, the square rod 20 is provided with a thread and cooperates with the lead screw 18. The end of the lead screw 18 is fixedly equipped with a top bead 21, which fits against the mating square plate 24. Through the above technical solution, the cleaning plate 25 can scrape the inside of the oil collection box 15 for cleaning. The cleaning plate 25 can also be retracted under the control of the screw 18. After scraping, the cleaning plate 25 is retracted and moved inward, and then lowered to fit against the inner wall of the oil collection box 15. In its natural state, the cleaning plate 25 fits against the bottom and sides of the inside of the oil collection box 15. In order to further prevent the cleaning plate 25 from carrying the residue to the second end of the oil collection box 15 when it moves towards the second end, when the screw 18 drives the top ball 21 to push the square plate 24, the cleaning plate 25 rotates counterclockwise and leaves the bottom of the inside of the oil collection box 15. This is the retracted state. After the cleaning plate 25 is fully rotated and retracted, it moves towards the second end. Then the top ball 21 retracts to make the cleaning plate 25 lower to clean the residue on the inner wall of the oil collection box 15. It can also squeeze the residue onto the inner wall of the first end of the oil collection box 15, squeezing out the oil in the residue, making the cleaning more thorough and the solid-liquid separation more thorough.

[0033] Working principle: First, fix the upright plate 1 at the oil outlet of the barbecue grill, connecting the oil outlet to the oil nozzle 2. Place the filter paper 16 in the groove of the clamping plate 2 10, insert the protrusion of the clamping plate 1 9 into the clamping plate 2 10, and insert the clamping plate 1 9 and the clamping plate 2 10 together into the oil collection box 15, where they are engaged by the positioning groove 11 and the positioning protrusion 12. The oil nozzle 2 is positioned near the first end of the oil collection box 15, and the oil flowing from the oil nozzle 2 naturally flows to the first end of the oil collection box 15. Then, the residue gradually settles, and the oil rises. As more and more oil accumulates, the oil level exceeds the filter assembly. As the oil level rises, the oil filtered twice by the filter paper 16 flows through the collection tank 13 and the straight tank 14 and flows out of the oil drain pipe 17 for collection. At this time, only the oil that reaches the position of the oil drain pipe 17 as the liquid level rises is collected. The filter paper 16 can filter out impurities floating on the oil and particles suspended in the oil (only when the oil accumulates to a certain height at the first end of the oil collection box 15, and the oil that is higher than the filter paper 16 will flow out from the second end through the channel. This is to first separate the solid and liquid, let the impurities settle, and after the upper layer of clear oil is high enough, it flows through the filter assembly to the second end of the oil collection box 15 and flows out from the channel).

[0034] After use, manually lift the first end of the oil collection box 15 until the locking block 5 disengages from the side of the oil collection box 15 and inserts into the lower side of the oil collection box 15. At this time, the first end of the oil collection box 15 is lifted and is higher than the second end, allowing the oil accumulated in the oil collection box 15 but not reaching the position of the filter component to be poured out (to reset, press down the unlocking plate 6 to let the locking block 5 return to the side of the oil collection box 15). Rotate the handle 19 to drive the lead screw 18. The lead screw moves inside the square rod, simultaneously driving the top ball 21 to abut against the mating square plate 24 and push the mating square plate 24 outward, causing the mating plate 24 and the cleaning plate 25 to rotate. At this time, the lead screw 18 drives the top ball 21 to press against the mating square plate 24. The mating square plate 24 drives the cleaning plate 25 to tilt, disengage from the inner bottom surface of the oil collection box 15, and then push it towards the second end of the oil collection box 15. The residue on both sides inside the oil collection box 15 will be cleaned off. However, since the cleaning plate 25 does not contact the bottom of the oil collection box 15, the residue will not be moved. Then, the screw 18 is rotated in the opposite direction, so that the cleaning plate 25 returns to the bottom end that fits the inside of the oil collection box 15 under the action of the cleaning torsion spring 23. The square rod 20 is pushed towards the first end of the oil collection box 15, so that the residue at the bottom of the inside of the oil collection box 15 is brought to the first end. The oil adsorbed in the residue can be squeezed out. The entire cleaning stroke does not need to exceed the filter assembly. In short, use it according to your needs. If you do not need to scrape the bottom of the inside of the oil collection box 15, push out the top ball 21 to tilt the cleaning plate 25. If you need to scrape, make the cleaning plate 25 perpendicular to the square rod 20. You can also push the square rod 20 to drive the cleaning plate 25 to squeeze the residue on the inside of the first end of the oil collection box 15 and squeeze out the residual oil inside.
