AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing tabletop roasters face challenges in adjusting flame power within a delicate range due to wide pressure reduction of inflowing gas, and integrated water tank designs complicate maintenance and lead to water spillage.

Method used

The roaster separates the main body and water tank, incorporating a valve with a volume structure for fine gas adjustment, allowing precise control of gas inflow for low-consumption appliances, and enables easy water tank removal.

Benefits of technology

This design maintains a stable 250°C grilling temperature, minimizes smoke generation, and simplifies water tank replacement and maintenance.

Abstract

Even a valve-type tabletop roaster with low consumption can minimize the generation of smoke by maintaining a constant temperature range on the roasting surface, and a roaster that allows easy replacement of the water tank. 【Solution means】The pressure of the gas flowing in from the inlet 8 of the roaster is reduced to an optimal pressure for the equipment by the valve 6, and a valve 7 with a volume is connected immediately after that to enable fine control of the gas consumption supplied to the burner 10, thereby minimizing the smoke from the roasting surface loss tube 1 and enabling roasting that can be divided vertically and horizontally and can be roasted deliciously.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a roaster that has a structure that can separate the water tank part of a tabletop roaster from the upper combustion equipment, and connects a valve with a variable volume immediately after the main valve that opens and closes the gas, enabling fine adjustment of combustion even with a small consumption burner, and minimizing the generation of smoke to efficiently roast food ingredients.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, tabletop roasters have mainly been of a structure where the main body and the water tank are integrated or can be taken out from the side. (See Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-132635 and Japanese Unexamined Utility Model Publication No. 62-177436) Regarding the valve itself, there are those that adjust the flow rate by the throttle angle of a cock (see Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 49-91835), and those called simmering gas cocks (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2018-054200).

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] Generally, the pressure of the gas used in stores and the like is supplied within the range of 2.3 KPa to 3.3 KPa, and various gas appliances with different capabilities are used accordingly. However, when a large number of small-consumption appliances (about 1 KW in the case of this appliance) are used, the difference in throttle angles and only a single variable valve device result in too wide a pressure reduction range of the inflowing gas, making it difficult to adjust the flame power within a delicate range.

[0005] In addition, when taking out the water tank, there were troubles such as removing surrounding obstacles and water spilling to stain the surroundings.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] In order to solve these problems, the present invention separates the roaster main body 2 and the water tank part 3 so that the water tank 3 can be taken out simply by lifting the main body upward. At the same time, a valve 7 with a volume structure having a shut-off function that enables finer adjustment is provided between the main valve 6 and the burner 10, so that the inflow volume of the gas depressurized to an appropriate amount by the main valve 6 for small-consumption appliances (about 1 KW in the present invention) can be adjusted more finely.

Effects of the Invention

[0007] Even for appliances with low consumption (about 1 KW in the case of the present invention), it is possible to maintain a constant and stable temperature range of 250 °C on the surface temperature of the grilling surface (roaster) 1 for a long time, minimizing the generation of smoke from the food ingredients and having the effect of delicious grilling.

[0008] Since the grilling stand 2 and the water tank 3 can be split into two parts vertically, it becomes easy to replace the water tank and maintain the grilling stand.

Embodiments for Carrying out the Invention

[0010] Hereinafter, as embodiments of the present invention, it will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

[0011] FIG. 1 is a plan view of the roaster of the present invention as seen from above. 1 is a roaster on which food ingredients are placed, 2 is the main body of the casing that supports the roaster, 5 is a cover for the operation part attached to the main body, 9 is a knob part of a valve with a volume, and 6 is a main valve installed inside the operation cover 5, which is shown by a dotted line.

[0012] FIG. 2 is a front view showing the internal structure of the roaster of the present invention. The roaster 1 is placed on the casing 2 and can be separated. The front part of the operation part cover 5 is released, and the operation of inserting a hose into the main valve 6 and the gas inlet nozzle 8 can be easily performed.

[0013] The overall flow will be described with reference to FIG. 3. The gas flowing in from the nozzle 8 is throttled and decompressed by the main valve 6 to a pressure suitable for the capacity (1KW) of the device. The decompressed gas is introduced into the volume valve 7 via the pipe 6a. Since the volume valve 7 is a dedicated one that operates finely in the range of a small pressure (0 Kpa to 2.5 KPa), by turning the knob 9 on the upper surface, it is sent to the ejection nozzle 7b that is connected to the burner 10 via the finely adjusted decompressed gas pipe 7a. The combustion gas ignited by a chuckaman or the like heats the radiation plate installed on the upper surface and heats the roaster on the upper surface. When the temperature zone on the surface of the roaster is set to about 250°C, the generation of smoke from the food ingredients can be minimized and the roasting is delicious. Since the temperature zone depends on a constant gas supply amount, the volume nozzle 7 is an essential device for fulfilling its function.

[0014] Figure 4 is a view showing the lower water tank 3 and its pedestal 4.

[0015] Figure 5 is a view showing the state where the lower water tank 3 is separated from the main body. The roaster 1 is used by placing it on the device 2, but the operation cover 5 is integrated with the device 2. It has a structure that does not shift when placed on the water tank 3 by the claw portion 12 attached to the lower surface of the device 2. This water tank 3 is used by placing it on the pedestal 4, and since it is attached with rubber feet 13, it can be stably set even on a tabletop. Since the water tank 3 and the upper device 2 can be easily separated in this way, water exchange and maintenance become easy.

Claims

【Claim 1】 A desktop roaster is provided with a valve 7 with a volume between the main valve 6 and the burner 10, enabling even a device with a small consumption amount (about 1 KW) to stably maintain the heating power in a certain temperature range, and facilitating maintenance by allowing the water tank 3 and the device 2 to be divided vertically.
