Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a grill that allows the height position of a grill to be adjusted. [Background technology]

[0002] Some grills used for whole fish, skewered fish, etc., allow the degree of doneness of the food cooked by the burner to be adjusted by changing the height of the grill on which the food is placed. Conventionally, a grill lifting mechanism for a grill cooker is known that includes a lifting band attached to the left and right side panels of the grill cooker body to support the grill, and a swingable lever connected to the lifting band, and the height of the grill can be determined and fixed at any position by moving the lever up and down to move the lifting band up and down (Patent Documents 1, 2, etc.).

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 8-33578 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 8-252175 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, the grill lifting mechanism in conventional grill cookers has a complex structure that includes a link mechanism and a stopper mechanism, making it difficult to clean and expensive.

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and aims to provide a grill cooker that has a simple and easy-to-clean structure for determining and fixing the grill height position at any position, and that can also be inexpensively constructed. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The roasting cooker according to the present invention comprises: A grill cooker having a grill horizontally installed above a main body and a burner housed within the main body and installed below the grill, The grill is provided with a net holder for supporting a grill net, and a fixing member that is detachable from the net holder. The net holder has a plurality of guide holes in the vertical direction and is attached to the side plates on both sides of the main body so as to be movable in the vertical direction. The fixing member has a plug-in portion that can be inserted into a guide hole in the screen holder, and is configured to determine the vertical position of the screen holder by abutting the plug-in portion against the upper surface of the side plate of the main body while it is inserted into a specific guide hole.

[0007] According to the above-mentioned configuration, the fixing member prevents the wire receiver from lowering under its own weight and prevents it from moving downward, thereby fixing the vertical position of the wire receiver. Therefore, the vertical position of the wire receiver can be determined and fixed with a simple configuration using the fixing member and the guide hole of the wire receiver, and the height position of the grill net can be determined and fixed as desired. Furthermore, since the fixing structure of the wire receiver is a simple configuration, each part of the wire receiver fixing structure can be easily cleaned. Furthermore, the fixing member can be manufactured inexpensively, and the wire receiver fixing structure can be provided at low cost.

[0008] In the roasting cooker, The fixing member can be made of a sheet metal member having a U-shaped cross section and has a flat portion which serves as an insertion portion and bent portions on both ends of the flat portion, the bent portions being configured to be attached along the side plates of the main body.

[0009] According to this, the fixing member is attached to the side plate of the main body so that it does not shift due to the bent parts at both ends, and the vertical position of the net holder can be fixed. The fixing member has a simple structure made of a metal plate member with a U-shaped cross section, is easy to clean, and can be manufactured inexpensively. Therefore, the fixing structure for the vertical position of the net holder can be a cheap, simple, and easy-to-clean structure.

[0010] In the roasting cooker, The fixing member can be made of wire, with a protrusion portion bent into the center of the wire to serve as an insertion portion, and L-shaped bent portions bent downwardly at both ends of the wire, and the bent portions can be configured to engage along the side panels of the main body.

[0011] According to this, the bent portion is engaged with the side plate, which prevents the fixing member from coming off, and the fixing member can be fixed in the correct position on the side plate of the main body. Therefore, the fixing member can firmly fix the grill holder so that it does not move. Therefore, the grill holder does not shift during cooking on the grill, and food can be easily handled on the grill.

[0012] In addition, by constructing the fixing member out of wire, the weight that the wire bears from the net holder can be distributed, and the strength of the fixing member can be increased, so that the side plate and the fixing member are not deformed even when the fixing member is brought into contact with the upper surface of the side plate. In addition, the fixing member has a simple structure of bent wire, is easy to clean, and can be manufactured inexpensively. Therefore, the fixing structure for fixing the vertical position of the net holder can be an inexpensive, simple, and easy-to-clean structure.

[0013] In the roasting cooker, The fixing member can be made of wire, with a protrusion formed by bending the wire in the center to form an insertion portion, and locking portions formed by bending downwards at both ends of the wire, and the locking portions can be configured to be inserted into locking holes formed on the upper surface of the side panel of the main body.

[0014] According to this, the locking portion is inserted into the lock hole on the upper surface of the side plate, which prevents the fixing member from coming loose and also positions the fixing member in the front, rear, left and right directions, so that the fixing member can be reliably fixed in the correct position on the side plate of the main body. Therefore, the fixing member can firmly fix the grill holder so that it does not move. Therefore, the grill holder does not shift during cooking on the grill, and food can be easily handled on the grill.

[0015] In addition, by constructing the fixing member out of wire, the weight that the wire bears from the net holder can be distributed, and the strength of the fixing member can be increased, so that the side plate and the fixing member are not deformed even when the fixing member is brought into contact with the upper surface of the side plate. In addition, the fixing member has a simple structure of bent wire, is easy to clean, and can be manufactured inexpensively. Therefore, the fixing structure for fixing the vertical position of the net holder can be an inexpensive, simple, and easy-to-clean structure. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0017] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. (Embodiment 1) As shown in FIG. 1, the grill 1 of the first embodiment includes a grill net 5 horizontally installed above the main body 3 of the grill 1, and a burner 4 housed in the main body 3 and installed below the grill net 5. The main body 3 is made of a metal plate and formed in a box shape with an opening 30 on the upper surface. A valve case 31 is provided on the front side to house a valve (not shown) for adjusting the amount of fuel gas supplied to the burner 4, and a back guard 32 is attached to the rear side, which is extended higher than the grill net 5. The front plate of the valve case 31 is provided with an operation knob 311 for igniting, extinguishing, adjusting the flame power, etc. of the burner 4. Box-shaped side plates 7 are provided on both the left and right sides of the main body 3, in which a grill receiver 2 for supporting the grill net 5 is disposed. A rectangular central hole 70 that is long in the front-rear direction is provided in the upper surface 7a of the side plate 7 at approximately the center. The grill receiver 2 is inserted into the central hole 70. A guide rail 21 that extends in the vertical direction corresponding to the central hole 70 is provided on the structural wall inside the side plate 7. A net receiver 2 is disposed on the guide rail 21.

[0018] The grill net 5 is made of metal wire and formed into a flat plate shape, and is attached to a rectangular support frame 6 and is installed so as to be horizontally disposed above the main body 3. The support frame 6 is formed by connecting metal horizontal bars 61 arranged at the front and rear and metal vertical bars 62 arranged at the left and right, and the grill net 5 is installed between the front and rear horizontal bars 61. A strip-shaped grill net holder 2 is formed to hang down from the center of the vertical bars 62 on both the left and right sides of the support frame 6. The grill net holder 2 is inserted into a central hole 70 on the upper surface 7a of the side plate 7 and disposed on a guide rail 21 inside the side plate 7, so that the grill net holder 2 is attached to the side plate 7 so as to be movable in the vertical direction. The height position of the grill net 5 attached to the support frame 6 can be changed by moving the left and right grill net holders 2 in the vertical direction.

[0019] The net receiver 2 is fixed by attaching a removable fixing member 1A. That is, the net receiver 2 has five (plural) horizontally elongated guide holes 20 at regular intervals in the vertical direction, and the vertical position of the net receiver 2 is determined and fixed by attaching the fixing member 1A to a predetermined one of the multiple guide holes 20.

[0020] 2 and 3, the fixing member 1A is made of a single metal wire, and a protrusion 11 is formed in the center of the wire, which is bent into a U-shape and protrudes horizontally. The protrusion 11 serves as an insertion portion that can be inserted into a guide hole 20 of the screen holder 2. With this protrusion 11 inserted into a predetermined guide hole 20, the screen holder 2 is moved downward to bring the fixing member 1A into contact with the upper surface 7a of the side plate 7 of the main body 3, whereby the vertical position of the screen holder 2 is determined and fixed.

[0021] The fixing member 1A has horizontally elongated portions 12 on both sides of the protrusion 11, and the end of each horizontally elongated portion 12 is bent to form a bent portion 13 that is bent downward in an L-shape. The bent portion 13 is formed in an L-shape by a horizontal portion 13a bent horizontally toward the protruding side of the protrusion 11 and a hanging portion 13b bent downward from the tip of the horizontal portion 13a. This bent portion 13 is engaged along the upper surface 7a to the inner surface 7b of the side plate 7 by attaching the fixing member 1A to the net holder 2 and abutting it against the upper surface 7a of the side plate 7. The total length of the wire that becomes the fixing member 1A (the distance between the hanging portions 13b at both ends) is set to be approximately equal to the front-to-rear width of the opening 30 of the main body 3, but may be shorter than the front-to-rear width of the opening 30.

[0022] To change the height of the grill net 5 using the fixing member 1A, the support frame 6 is lifted by hand and moved upward. The protrusions 11 of the fixing member 1A are inserted from the outside into the guide holes 20 of the net holder 2 at which the height of the grill net 5 is to be a predetermined height, and the fixing member 1A is attached to the net holder 2. The fixing member 1A is attached to the guide holes 20 at the same height for each of the left and right net holders 2. Next, the support frame 6 is moved downward, so that the fixing member 1A abuts against the upper surface 7a of the side plate 7, and the bent parts 13 at both ends are engaged along the inner surface 7b from the upper surface 7a of the side plate 7. This allows the fixing member 1A to prevent the net holder 2 from lowering under its own weight and moving downward, and the vertical position of the net holder 2 can be determined and fixed, and the height of the grill net 5 can be fixed as desired. Since the wire rack 2 is provided with multiple guide holes 20 in the vertical direction, the vertical position of the wire rack 2 can be determined in multiple stages according to the positions of the guide holes 20 into which the protrusions 11 of the fixing member 1A are inserted, thereby allowing the height position of the grilling net 5 to be set. For example, the grilling net 5 can be set to a predetermined height position so that the burners 4 can grill the food appropriately depending on the thickness and type of food to be grilled on the grilling net 5.

[0023] As described above, according to the grill cooker 1 of the first embodiment, the fixing member 1A, which is a simple structure made of a wire, can determine and fix the vertical position of the net holder 2, and can arbitrarily determine and fix the height position of the grill net 5. The bent portion 13 of the fixing member 1A is engaged with the side plate 7 to prevent the fixing member 1A from coming off. In addition, the hanging portion 13b of the bent portion 13 abuts against the inner surface 7b of the side plate 7, so that the fixing member 1A can be positioned in the left-right direction. By making the total length of the wire of the fixing member 1A approximately equal to the front-to-rear width of the opening 30 of the main body 3, the hanging portions 13b at both ends abut against the front and rear plates of the main body 3 within the opening 30, so that the fixing member 1A can be positioned in the front-to-rear direction. In this way, the bent portion 13 is engaged with the side plate 7, so that the fixing member 1A can be fixed in the correct position on the side plate 7 of the main body 3 without the fixing member 1A shifting or falling off. Therefore, the fixing member 1A can be firmly fixed so that the net holder 2 does not move. Therefore, the grill holder 2 does not shift during cooking on the grill 5, making it easy to handle food on the grill 5.

[0024] Furthermore, by constructing the fixing member 1A from wire, the strength of the fixing member 1A can be increased, and the weight received from the screen holder 2 can be distributed by the horizontally elongated portion 12 of the wire, so that the side plate 7 of the main body 3 and the fixing member 1A are not deformed. Furthermore, since the fixing member 1A has a simple structure of bent wire, each part constituting the fixing structure of the screen holder 2 is easy to clean. Furthermore, the fixing member 1A can be inexpensively manufactured from wire, and the fixing structure of the screen holder 2 can be provided at low cost. Therefore, the fixing structure for the vertical position of the screen holder 2 can be configured to be inexpensive, simple, and easy to clean.

[0025] (Embodiment 2) In the roasting cooker 1 of the second embodiment, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the fixing member 1B is made of a metal wire like the fixing member 1A of the first embodiment, but differs from the fixing member 1A of the first embodiment in that it has a locking portion 14 bent downward at the end of the horizontally elongated portion 12. Furthermore, the main body 3 of the roasting cooker 1 has locking holes 71 on the top surfaces 7a of the side plates 7 on both sides, in front of and behind the central hole 70, into which the locking portions 14 on both ends of the fixing member 1B are inserted.

[0026] In the grill cooker 1 of the second embodiment, to change the height position of the grill net 5 using the fixing member 1B, similarly to the first embodiment, the support frame 6 is moved upward, the protrusions 11 of the fixing member 1B are inserted into the predetermined guide holes 20 of the grill receiver 2, and the support frame 6 is moved downward to bring the fixing member 1B into contact with the upper surface 7a of the side plate 7. This allows the vertical position of the grill receiver 2 to be determined and fixed, and the height position of the grill net 5 is fixed to a predetermined position. In this case, in the second embodiment, the locking portions 14 at both ends of the fixing member 1B are inserted into the locking holes 71 formed in the upper surface 7a of the side plate 7, and the fixing member 1B is brought into contact with the upper surface 7a of the side plate 7. By inserting the locking portions 14 into the locking holes 71 in the upper surface 7a of the side plate 7 in this way, the fixing member 1B is prevented from coming off, and the fixing member 1B can be positioned in the front-rear and left-right directions, and the fixing member 1B can be reliably fixed to the correct position of the side plate 7 of the main body 3. Other than what has been described above, the configuration and effects of the second embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment.

[0027] (Embodiment 3) In the roaster 1 of the third embodiment, as shown in Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, the fixing member 1C is made of a sheet metal member having a U-shaped cross section, and has a flat plate portion 15 serving as an insertion portion, and bent portions 16 formed by bending downward from both ends of the flat plate portion 15. The width of the flat plate portion 15 and the bent portion 16 of the fixing member 1C is set to be equal to or less than the width of the guide hole 20 of the net holder 2, and the height of the bent portions 16 at both ends is set to be equal to or less than the vertical width of the guide hole 20 of the net holder 2, so that the fixing member 1C can be inserted into the guide hole 20 of the net holder 2 from one of the bent portions 16 side in a horizontal state. In addition, the length of the flat plate portion 15 between the bent portions 16 at both ends is approximately the same as the width of the upper surface 7a of the side plate 7, and is formed so that the bent portions 16 at both ends are attached along the inner surface 7b and outer surface 7c of the side plate 7 when the lower surface of the flat plate portion 15 is abutted against the upper surface 7a of the side plate 7.

[0028] To change the height of the grill net 5 using the fixing member 1C in the third embodiment, the support frame 6 is lifted by hand and moved upward, and the fixing member 1C is inserted from one of the bent portions 16 into the guide hole 20 of the net holder 2 where the height of the grill net 5 is set to a predetermined height, and attached to the net holder 2. The fixing member 1C is attached to the guide hole 20 at the same height position for each of the left and right net holders 2. Next, the support frame 6 is moved downward, so that the flat plate portion 15 of the fixing member 1C abuts against the upper surface 7a of the side plate 7, and the bent portions 16 at both ends are attached along the inner surface 7b and outer surface 7c of the side plate 7. This prevents the net holder 2 from lowering under its own weight and moving downward, and the vertical position of the net holder 2 can be determined and fixed, and the height position of the grill net 5 can be fixed as desired.

[0029] According to the third embodiment, the fixing member 1C has a simple structure made of a metal plate member having a U-shaped cross section, is easy to clean, and can be manufactured at low cost. Therefore, the fixing structure for fixing the vertical position of the net receiver 2 can be made even cheaper, simpler, and easier to clean. The configuration and effects of the third embodiment other than those described above are the same as those of the first embodiment.

[0030] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the claims. [Explanation of symbols]
