Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] By the way, according to the above prior art, when the exhaust suction hood is installed relatively high according to the height position of the ceiling surface, or when there are other facilities on the ceiling side, etc., the mist generated by the cooking equipment may not reach the exhaust suction hood and may float near the cooking equipment. And in such a case, there is a risk of adversely affecting the air environment in the factory, or the mist particles such as oil adhering to the floor surface and wall surface, increasing the cleaning work, etc.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] In view of such problems, one of the present inventions has the following configuration. A mist collection device for installation in a food factory, comprising a mist suction pipe that sucks in mist from one end and discharges it from the other end, and a mist processing unit connected to the other end of the mist suction pipe, wherein the one end of the mist suction pipe is configured to be attachable to the upper or side of a cooking appliance, and the mist processing unit is configured to capture mist from the gas flowing in from the mist suction pipe and discharge the captured gas. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] As described above, the present invention is configured to efficiently collect mist generated during cooking. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0007] [Figure 1] This is a perspective view showing a cooking facility in which an example of a mist collection device according to the present invention is attached to a heating cooking machine. [Figure 2] This is a cross-sectional view along the line (II)-(II) in Figure 1. [Figure 3] This is a cross-sectional view along the line (III)-(III) in Figure 1. [Figure 4] This is a cross-sectional view along the line (IV)-(IV) in Figure 1. [Figure 5] This is a plan view showing an example of a filter, and a close-up view of the main part is also shown in the same figure. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0008] Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The cooking equipment 1 shown in Figure 1 comprises a cooking appliance 2 that heats and cooks food ingredients F (see Figure 3) and a mist collection device 3 that collects mist generated during cooking, and is installed in a food factory.

[0009] The cooking appliance 2 includes a conveying device 2a for transporting food ingredients F, a hood 2b for covering multiple food ingredients F transported by the conveying device 2a from above, and the like. Here, mist refers to liquids such as oil and water that have been atomized. This mist is generated when food ingredient F is heated during cooking.

[0010] The conveying device 2a includes a conveying section 2a1 that moves laterally with the food ingredients F placed on it, side frames 2a2, 2a2 that support the conveying section 2a1 on both sides in the width direction, a base 2a3 that supports the side frames 2a2, 2a2 from below, and the like (see Figures 1 and 3).

[0011] The hood 2b is configured as a long, continuous unit with an inverted concave vertical cross-section extending in the direction of transport by the transport device 2a. This hood 2b covers the mist generated by the heated food ingredients F, and the gas containing this mist, from above. The lower ends on both sides in the width direction of this hood 2b are placed on and fixed to the upper ends of the side frames 2a2, 2a2 on both sides (see Figure 4).

[0012] A space for heating and cooking the food ingredients F is secured between the hood 2b and the conveying section 2a1 (see Figure 3). At one end and the other end of the hood 2b in the longitudinal direction, there is a food ingredient insertion port 2b1 for inserting the food ingredients F before heating and a food ingredient discharge port 2b2 for sending out the food ingredients F after heating. Furthermore, one end of the mist suction pipe 10, which will be described later, is connected to the upper part of the hood 2b at a point midway along its longitudinal direction, so as to communicate with the inside of the hood 2b.

[0013] Furthermore, a heater H (for example, an electric heater such as a heating element) for heating and cooking the food F is provided on the underside (bottom) of the hood 2b. As an alternative, the hood 2b may be configured as a simple lid without a heater. In this case, for example, a heater could be provided below the conveying section 2a1, or the heater could be built into the conveying section 2a1 so that the conveying section 2a1 itself functions as a heater.

[0014] The mist collection device 3 includes a mist suction pipe 10 that sucks mist from one end side and discharges it from the other end side opening, and a mist treatment unit 20 connected to the other end side of the mist suction pipe 10. The mist suction pipe 10 sucks the gas containing mist, and the mist, dust, dirt, etc. contained in this gas are collected by the mist treatment unit 20.

[0015] The mist suction pipe 10 includes an upward pipe portion 11 extending upward from the hood 2b, a lateral pipe portion 12 extending horizontally on the upper end side of the upward pipe portion 11, a downward pipe portion 13 extending downward on the tip side of the lateral pipe portion 12, and bent portions 14, 14 connecting between the upward pipe portion 11 and the lateral pipe portion 12, and between the lateral pipe portion 12 and the downward pipe portion 13 in an elbow shape, respectively, and is configured as a continuous integral tubular shape (see FIG. 2).

[0016] The upward pipe portion 11 has one end side attached to the upper part of the hood 2b and the other end side directed upward in a substantially vertical direction. According to this upward pipe portion 11, when the food F is cooked by heating and mist is generated, since the gas containing this mist rises due to heat, it can be efficiently sucked into the upward pipe portion 11.

[0017] According to a preferred example shown in FIG. 2, the lateral pipe portion 12 is inclined such that the downward pipe 13 side is lower than the upward pipe portion 11 side. According to this configuration, the mist that adheres to the lateral pipe portion 12 and becomes water droplet-like easily flows toward the downward pipe 13 side and hardly flows toward the upward pipe portion 11 side. As a result, it is possible to prevent the mist sucked into the mist suction pipe 10 from flowing toward the upward pipe portion 11 side and dripping onto the lower food.

[0018] In FIG. 2, the reference numeral 13a in the downward pipe portion 13 is a backflow prevention damper. This backflow prevention damper 13a prevents the mist and gas from flowing back from the mixing chamber 21 to the heating cooker 2 side.

[0019] Also, below the lower end of the upward pipe portion 11, a receiving portion 16 is provided to receive the liquid dripping from the upward pipe portion 11 (for example, water, oil, etc. that has condensed on the inner surface of the mist suction pipe 10).

[0020] The receiving portion 16 is formed in a flat plate shape with a size that covers the lower end opening of the upward pipe portion 11. This receiving portion 16 is located below the upward pipe portion 11, ensuring a gap s that serves as a gas flow path between it and the upper bottom surface of the hood 2b. According to an example shown in FIG. 4, this receiving portion 16 has a rectangular flat plate-shaped receiving plate portion 16a and a protruding edge portion 16b that protrudes upward from the periphery of the receiving plate portion 16a. Therefore, the liquid received by the receiving plate portion 16a can be prevented from dripping downward from the edge side by the protruding edge portion 16b. This receiving portion 16 is fixed to the upward pipe portion 11 or the hood 2b via suspension piece portions 16c provided on the four corner sides respectively.

[0021] Also, the mist suction pipe 10 with the above configuration is formed longer than the length from the cold air inlet 21b to the inlet of a blower 23c described later. According to this configuration, the mist suction pipe 10 can be efficiently exposed to the surrounding air for cooling. Therefore, the gas flowing in the mist suction pipe 10 can be cooled by contacting the low-temperature pipe wall. As a result, in the mist suction pipe 10, a part of the moisture and oil content contained in the gas can be condensed and liquefied by contact with the pipe wall or collision with the bent portion 14, and then flow downward. The liquid that has flowed downward in the mist suction pipe 10 may be collected, for example, by providing a drain collection portion (not shown) at the bottom of the mixing chamber 21 and using this drain collection portion.

[0022] The mist treatment unit 20 is installed on the side and in the vicinity of the heating cooker 2. It mixes the cold air introduced through the cold air inlet 21b with the gas flowing in from the mist suction pipe 10, captures the mist from this mixed gas, and discharges the gas after capture. More specifically, the mist processing unit 20 comprises a hollow container-shaped mixing chamber 21, a connecting pipe 22 connected to one end of the mixing chamber 21, and a mist collection unit 23 connected to the other end of the connecting pipe 22.

[0023] The mixing chamber 21 is configured as a hollow rectangular box, as shown in the illustrated example. The peripheral wall of the mixing chamber 21 is provided with a mist inlet 21a for introducing mist-containing gas, a cold air inlet 21b for introducing cold air, and a connection port 21c connected to the connecting pipe 22. This mixing chamber 21 mixes the mist and gas flowing in from the mist inlet 21a with the cold air introduced through the cold air inlet 21b and sends the mixture to the connecting pipe 22.

[0024] The mixing chamber 21 is configured such that the mist inlet 21a and the cold air inlet 21b collide with the cold air introduced through the cold air inlet 21b.

[0025] As shown in the illustrated example, the direction of inflow of mist and gas through the mist inlet 21a and the direction of introduction of cold air through the cold air inlet 21b intersect near the center of the mixing chamber 21. Therefore, the mist and gas flowing in from the mist inlet 21a and the cold air introduced from the cold air inlet 21b collide and mix efficiently.

[0026] In Figures 1 and 2, reference numeral 21b1 denotes multiple rectifier plates spaced apart in the vertical direction, and are sometimes referred to as louvers or grilles. These rectifier plates 21b1 rectify the cold air introduced into the cold air inlet 21b and direct it toward the connection port 21c.

[0027] In the illustrated example, the mist inlet 21a is the lower end opening (in other words, the other end opening) of the mist suction pipe 10 (more specifically, the downward-facing pipe section 13) connected to the upper wall of the mixing chamber 21, and is in communication with the space inside the mixing chamber 21.

[0028] In the mist suction pipe 10, the mist inlet 21a, which is the lower end of the downward-facing pipe section 13, is located below the lower end of the upward-facing pipe section 11.

[0029] Furthermore, the cold air inlet 21b is located below the lower end of the downward-facing pipe section 13 and is provided in a rectangular penetrating shape in the side wall of the mixing chamber 21 (see Figures 1 and 2). In the preferred example shown in Figure 1, the cold air inlet 21b is provided on one of the four side walls constituting the mixing chamber 21 that does not face the side of the cooking appliance 2 (base 2a3), so as not to increase the resistance to cold air flow.

[0030] Furthermore, the opening area of ​​the cold air inlet 21b is set to be larger than the opening area of ​​the mist inlet 21a so that the amount of cold air introduced from the cold air inlet 21b is greater than the amount of gas and mist flowing in from the mist inlet 21a.

[0031] With these configurations, the lower end of the downward-facing pipe section 13 and the cold air inlet 21b can be exposed to a relatively low-temperature atmosphere at a low position, and the proportion of cold air flowing into the cold air inlet 21b can be appropriately increased.

[0032] Therefore, the gas and mist flowing from the mist suction tube 10 to the mixing chamber 21 can be effectively cooled, and the condensation of water and oil contained in the gas, as well as the enlargement of mist particles, can be effectively promoted.

[0033] Furthermore, the connection port 21c is positioned to face the cold air inlet 21b. Here, the term "facing" includes configurations in which the opening surface of the connection port 21c and the opening surface of the cold air inlet 21b are substantially parallel and facing each other, and configurations in which the opening surface of the cold air inlet 21b is slightly inclined and facing the opening surface of the connection port 21c. Furthermore, the term "opposing" includes a configuration in which the opening surface of the connection port 21c and the opening surface of the cold air inlet 21b are offset in such a way that they overlap when viewed from a direction perpendicular to these opening surfaces. Another example is to configure the mixing chamber 21 in a cylindrical shape, and provide a curved opening surface that serves as a connection port 21c and a curved opening surface that serves as a cold air inlet 21b on the peripheral wall surface of this cylindrical mixing chamber 21, such that these two curved opposing surfaces face each other.

[0034] In the illustrated example, the cold air inlet 21b is provided on one side of the mixing chamber 21, and the connection port 21c is provided on another side of the mixing chamber 21 that is opposite and substantially parallel to the aforementioned side. When viewed from the cold air inlet 21b side (left side in Figure 2), the cold air inlet 21b and the connection port 21c partially overlap.

[0035] Furthermore, the connecting pipe 22 is a cylindrical tube, with one end connected to the connection port 21c of the mixing chamber 21 and the other end connected to the peripheral wall of the mist collection unit 23.

[0036] The mist collection unit 23 is configured to capture mist from the gas flowing in from the connecting pipe 22 and to discharge the captured gas from the outlet 23d1. A filter 23b, which captures mist from the gas by rotating, and a blower 23c, which sends the gas to the exhaust pipe 23d, are provided in the gas flow path between the connecting pipe 22 and the outlet 23d1.

[0037] To explain the illustrated example in detail, the mist collection unit 23 comprises a hollow main body case 23a, a filter 23b and a blower 23c located in the internal space of the main body case 23a, and an exhaust pipe 23d connected to the peripheral wall of the main body case 23a downstream of the blower 23c.

[0038] The main body case 23a is configured in the shape of a cubic box, as shown in the illustrated example. A connecting pipe 22 is inserted into the lower part of the main body case 23a on the side facing the mixing chamber 21. The downstream end opening of this connecting pipe 22 is located inside the main body case 23a and functions as a gas inlet 22a (see Figure 2).

[0039] Furthermore, the exhaust pipe 23d is inserted into the upper part of the peripheral wall of the main body case 23a, on the side opposite to the gas inlet 22a. The exhaust pipe 23d extends laterally from the main body case 23a, bends in an elbow shape, and extends approximately vertically upward, with its upper end open. This opening functions as an outlet 23d1 for discharging the gas inside the exhaust pipe 23d to the outside. The exhaust pipe 23d has its outlet 23d1 directed towards, for example, an exhaust intake hood or ventilation fan located on the ceiling side of the room.

[0040] The filter 23b is fixed to the rotating shaft of the motor 23e, which is located inside the main body case 23a. The motor 23e is an electric motor, and its rotation axis is oriented upward, and it is installed on the lower side of the main body case 23a. The filter 23b is installed on the rotating shaft of the motor 23e, either once or in multiple units (as in the example shown in Figure 2, two filters are installed vertically with a gap between them).

[0041] Each filter 23b is formed in a roughly circular plate shape and has numerous holes 23b1 through which gas passes (see Figure 5). Each hole 23b1 is an elongated hole that inclins in the rotational direction (clockwise in Figure 5) toward the center of the filter 23b. Multiple holes 23b1 are provided at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction of the filter 23b, and furthermore, multiple layers (four layers in the illustrated example) are provided at predetermined intervals in the radial direction of the filter 23b. As the filter 23b rotates, each hole 23b1 moves at high speed in the circumferential direction of the filter 23b. As a result, oil, moisture, and other substances contained in the gas attempting to pass through each hole 23b1 come into contact with the inner edge of the hole 23b1 and are blown away. Oil and moisture blown out by the holes 23b1 of the filter 23b accumulate at the bottom of the main body case 23a and are collected by a drain collection unit (not shown) (not shown).

[0042] The blower 23c forms an airflow within the main body case 23a that flows from the gas inlet 22a into the exhaust pipe 23d. The blower 23c in the illustrated example is configured to draw in the gas that has passed through the lower filter 23b and send it out toward the inlet of the side exhaust pipe 23d. For this blower 23c, any well-known fan such as an axial fan, centrifugal fan, or mixed-flow fan can be appropriately selected and used.

[0043] Next, we will explain the characteristic effects of the mist collection device 3 with the above configuration, and the cooking equipment 1 equipped with this mist collection device 3.

[0044] When the blower 23c is activated, the mist generated by heating and cooking the numerous food items F on the conveying device 2a is drawn into the mist suction pipe 10 along with the surrounding gas.

[0045] More specifically, as shown in Figure 2, the mist-containing gas moves along the lower surface of the receiving portion 16 toward the peripheral edge of the receiving portion 16 and is forcefully sucked into the gap s between the receiving portion 16 and the upper bottom surface of the hood 2b. In other words, the lower surface of the receiving portion 16 functions as a rectifier plate, improving the intake efficiency of mist and gas.

[0046] As described above, the mist flowing through the mist suction tube 10 and the mixing chamber 21 becomes enlarged mist particles due to contact with the inner wall surface of the mist suction tube 10 and mixing with the cold air introduced from the cold air inlet 21b, and is then sent to the mist collection unit 23.

[0047] Within the mist collection unit 23, mist particles attempting to pass through the filter 23b are captured by the pores 23b1 of the filter 23b. After passing through filter 23b, the gas passes through blower 23c and is drawn into exhaust pipe 23d, where it is discharged upward from outlet 23d1 at the upper end of exhaust pipe 23d. The discharged gas is then drawn into, for example, an exhaust intake hood on the ceiling side of the room or a ventilation fan, and discharged outside.

[0048] Therefore, with the mist collection device 3 and cooking equipment 1, the lateral space of the cooking appliance 2 can be effectively utilized to efficiently collect mist generated during cooking.

[0049] <Variation> According to the above embodiment, in one preferred example, the suction-side opening of the mist suction pipe 10 is positioned on the upper part of the cooking appliance 2 (hood 2b). However, in other examples, the suction-side opening of the mist suction pipe 10 can also be positioned on the side of the cooking appliance 2 (hood 2b) or in other locations other than the upper part.

[0050] According to the above embodiment, the mixing chamber 21 and the mist collection unit 23 are each configured in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped box. However, other examples of the mixing chamber 21 or the mist collection unit 23 include cylindrical shapes and other shapes not shown in the illustration.

[0051] According to the above embodiment, the direction of inflow of mist and gas through the mist inlet 21a and the direction of introduction of cold air through the cold air inlet 21b intersect near the center of the mixing chamber 21. However, this configuration can be changed to other forms by causing the mist and gas flowing into the mist inlet 21a to collide with the cold air introduced through the cold air inlet 21b. In other words, as an example, the mist inlet 21a is provided on one side of the mixing chamber 21, and the cold air inlet 21b is provided on the other side opposite the mist inlet 21a, such that the direction of mist and gas inflow through the mist inlet 21a and the direction of cold air inflow through the cold air inlet 21b are opposite each other. Furthermore, as another example, either one or both of the mist and gas flow paths passing through the mist inlet 21a and the cold air flow paths passing through the cold air inlet 21b may be inclined, curved, twisted, or widened paths.

[0052] Furthermore, as another example, even if the centerlines of the mist and gas flow paths passing through the mist inlet 21a and the centerlines of the cold air flow paths passing through the cold air inlet 21b are in a twisted position (not parallel and not intersecting), such a configuration is acceptable as long as one or both of the flow paths have a widening path and a collision point is created.

[0053] In the above embodiment, a cold air inlet 21b is provided in the mixing chamber 21. However, in another example, a through-hole-shaped cold air inlet is provided in the wall of the mist suction pipe 10, and cold air can be introduced through the cold air inlet.

[0054] According to the above embodiment, the cold air introduced at the cold air inlet 21b is drawn into the fluid flow in the mixing chamber 21. However, as an alternative, a separate blower from the blower 23c may be provided outside or inside the cold air inlet 21b, and this blower may be used to forcibly supply more cold air into the mixing chamber 21.

[0055] In the above embodiment, the blower 23c is provided inside the main body case 23a of the mist collection unit 23. However, in other examples, the blower 23c can also be provided outside the main body case 23a, for example, inside the discharge pipe 23d.

[0056] According to the above embodiment, the filter 23b is formed in the shape of a plate with holes and is driven to rotate. However, other examples of the filter 23b include a form without holes, a form formed in the shape of a feather, a form formed in the shape of a rod, and so on. Furthermore, other examples of the filter 23b include a configuration in which it is made non-rotatable by a breathable sheet, cloth, mesh, or the like.

[0057] In one preferred example of the above embodiment, the blower 23c is provided downstream of the filter 23b in order to increase the flow velocity of the gas discharged from the outlet 23d1. However, in another example, the blower 23c may be provided upstream of the filter 23b.

[0058] According to the above embodiment, the mist collection device 3 is used to collect mist generated in a food factory. However, this mist collection device 3 can also be installed in equipment that performs steam cleaning that also degreases after cutting, or in powder baking and drying ovens, and used as a device to collect high-temperature steam and fine dust.

[0059] According to the above embodiment, in a particularly preferred example, the mist processing unit 20 is provided at a distance from the cooking appliance 2 so as not to come into direct contact with it. With this configuration, it is possible to prevent the mist processing unit 20 from being affected by heat from the cooking appliance 2, which would make it difficult for the mist inside the mist processing unit 20 to condense and liquefy.

[0060] Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the specific configurations described above, and can be modified as appropriate without altering the essence of the invention.
