Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an improvement to an automatic takoyaki maker suitable for home and outdoor use, which is configured by attaching a grilling plate main body 1, in which a takoyaki plate 1A and a vibration transmission plate 1B are joined so that they can be separated into upper and lower two parts, to a main body case 10, and supporting the vibration transmission plate 1B on the main body part 10A of the main body case 10 with, for example, three springs 11, and at the same time, fixing a pendulum weight 12 to the output shaft of a motor 7 attached to a motor support 6, and rotating the motor 7 to utilize the vibration generating effect, while burning and heating with a burner 5 connected to a gas cartridge 9, and freely rotating the takoyaki ingredients (roux) such as melted takoyaki flour, octopus, tempura scraps, green onions, etc., to automatically grill and cook roughly spherical takoyaki. In this case, in the present invention, the vibration transmission plate 1B not only transmits vibrations, but is stacked on the underside of the takoyaki plate 1A to increase the thickness and weight of the entire grilling plate body 1, thereby increasing the heating efficiency of the grilled items such as takoyaki due to increased far infrared rays when heated.However, during normal cleaning, it is not necessary to remove the entire grilling plate body 1, which has become heavier, but rather only the upper grilling plate 1A can be easily removed. [Background technology]

[0002] This machine vibrates a grilling plate with a spherical recessed grilling surface, rotating and grilling the takoyaki ingredients placed on the recessed grilling surface. The grilling plate is supported by a spring on the body of the oven and vibrated by a vibration source. Known vibration means include an eccentric rotor attached to the rotating shaft of a motor, which rotates the plate up, down, left, and right, or generates vibrations by changing the magnetic field. Furthermore, it is known that a single motor can generate diagonal vibrations in addition to up, down, left, and right vibrations by installing the motor with an eccentric rotor at an angle (Patent Document 1).

[0003] Since the food ingredients used in this type of cooker are a type of so-called powdered food, it is inevitable that some of the ingredients will spill out of the top surface as soon as they are cooked. However, in the above-mentioned prior art, the grill plate is fixed to the main body case due to restrictions on manufacturing approval (PSE: Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Act based on the Electricity Business Act), and if it gets dirty, it must be wiped off or the entire plate must be disassembled, which makes it difficult to remove and clean.

[0004] In addition, in the above prior art, since a motor is used as a vibration source, an electric heat source is generally used as the heat source. However, when the heat source is electric compared to the power consumption of the motor, the power consumption of one unit (e.g. 100V x 750W) is large, so there is an undeniable drawback that it is difficult to use more than one unit at the same time. Moreover, since the motor is located close to the heat source, there is also the drawback that it often breaks down due to overheating caused by the radiant heat of the heat source and the takoyaki plate. That is, in a typical Japanese home, the rated power supply is 100V x 20~25A, and since the heat source of an automatic takoyaki maker is electric, it is difficult to use it in conjunction with a microwave oven, an induction heater, an electric stove, etc.

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 5117826 DISCLOSURE OF THEINVENTION [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a simple structure that can heat the takoyaki ingredients (roux) evenly and also vibrate them to make them spin around like they are dancing, and can be easily handled by small children, the elderly, and physically handicapped people, and can heat and cook the ingredients into a roughly spherical shape reliably and quickly. The takoyaki plate body 1 is formed by stacking the takoyaki plate 1A, which has a hemispherical recess for accommodating the takoyaki ingredients (roux) to be cooked, and the vibration transmission plate 1B, which transmits vibrations by utilizing the vibration generating action of the motor 7 and forms a grilling section with a thick structure as a whole, in two halves that can be separated into upper and lower parts. By doing so, only a part of the plate, i.e., only the upper takoyaki plate 1A, can be used. To easily remove and wash the same. In other words, the takoyaki plate 1A can be easily removed and washed without disassembling the entire device, and can be used while always kept clean. It is also possible to use multiple units in parallel, and it is also durable, making it easy to use for tabletop, home, and outdoor use, and it is also portable. Incidentally, the motor uses very little power, about 100V x 15W. At the time when the inventor of Patent Document 1 (Patent Publication No. 5117826), Azuma Tadao, invented the device, there was a ministerial ordinance of the Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Act (PSE) based on the Electricity Business Act of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, which required a manufacturing license for type certification for appliances with a heat source (heater, etc.) and a drive unit (motor) in the same home or tabletop cooking appliance. Due to this, a mechanical structure that allowed the takoyaki plate 1A to be easily removed and washed was not permitted. However, 10 years have passed since the new development, and technological innovation has occurred in household cooking appliances, allowing multi-function plates such as hot plates and takoyaki plates to be removed, and the social situation has become such that a manufacturing license for type certification can be granted for appliances with a heat source (heater, gas cartridge, etc.) and a drive unit (motor) in the same home, as in this invention. (Azuma Tadao; the same person as the inventor of this case) [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The present invention is directed to a takoyaki plate 1A having a hemispherical recess for accommodating food to be cooked. In order to create a thick grilled area as a whole, The grilling plate body 1 is formed by stacking the vibration transmission plate 1B, and the burner 5 for heating the grilling plate body 1 and the takoyaki plate 1A are supported approximately horizontally. The motor 7 is attached to an output shaft of the motor 7, and a pendulum weight 12 is rotated around an axis inclined to the vertical line to generate vibrations, which are transmitted to the takoyaki plate 1A and the vibration transmission plate 1B, resulting in smooth vibrations. The grilling plate body 1, which is placed on the upper part of the main body case 10 that houses the burner 5 and the motor 7, is placed on the lower layer of the main body case 10. To create a thick grilled area as a whole It is formed by a vibration transmission plate 1B and an upper layer takoyaki plate 1A, The burner 5 is disposed below the vibration transmission plate 1B. Takoyaki plate 1A To create a thick grilled area as a whole Vibration transmission plate 1B Removable on top The first feature of this system is that

[0008] Also, the aboveThe second feature of the automatic vibrating takoyaki maker described above is that the two-piece takoyaki plate 1A and the vibration transmission plate 1B are designed to vibrate smoothly at all times when the automatic takoyaki maker is in operation, and the third feature is that the heat source for the burner 5 is supplied from a gas cartridge 9.

[0009] Furthermore, the automatic takoyaki maker described in claim 1 is an improved and developed invention of the present case, which was invented by Tadao Azuma, the inventor of Patent Document 1 (Patent Publication No. 5117826), with the following contents. The key points are as follows:

[0010] (1) The grilling plate body 1 is composed of a takoyaki plate 1A for cooking by heating and a vibration transmission plate 1B for transmitting vibrations to the takoyaki plate 1A. Both have been improved to be divided into upper and lower two parts. The vibration transmission plate 1B is fixed to the main body case 10 so that it cannot be easily removed, but the takoyaki plate 1A has a structure that allows it to be removed from the vibration transmission plate 1B. As a result, the lightweight takoyaki plate 1A can be separated and removed for washing, and it can always be used in a clean condition. Based on the ministerial ordinance of the Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Act (PSE) based on the Electricity Business Act, in today's home cooking appliances, technological innovation has made it possible to have removable multi-function plates such as hot plates and takoyaki plates, and this is the background to the prospect of type certification manufacturing permits being granted for tabletop cooking appliances with a heating source (heater, gas cartridge, etc.) and drive unit (motor) installed together as in this invention.

[0011] (2) The vibration transmission plate 1B, which is the lower component of the two-piece grilling plate body 1, and the motor 7 are attached via the motor support 6. In this case, as a measure against heat conduction from the takoyaki plate 1A, the legs of the motor support 6 are attached to the takoyaki plate 1A on a base with multiple protrusions, such as three in each place, which significantly improves heat insulation. Here, the vibration transmission plate 1B is usually fixed to the main body case 10 so that it cannot be separated, and can be attached by any method such as screws, rivets, welding, etc. In this way, the grilling plate main body 1 has the upper takoyaki plate 1A placed detachably on the vibration transmission plate 1B, which constitutes the grilling section having a thick structure overall. The vibration transmission plate 1B is fixed to the main body case 10 by screws or the like, but the attached state of the vibration transmission plate 1B can be completely removed by lifting only the grilling plate main body 1A from the vibration transmission plate 1B without touching it, i.e., without disassembling the device.

[0012] (3) When setting up the motor support 6 and the motor 7, the heat insulation performance is improved significantly by attaching the motor support 6 to a base having, for example, four bolt through holes and one protrusion.

[0013] (4) Of the two-piece takoyaki plate 1A and vibration transmission plate 1B, the lower vibration transmission plate 1B and the main body case 10 are fixed together using a spring 11 of a special structure as necessary.

[0014] Based on the above, the method presented in the conventional Patent Document 1 (Patent Gazette No. 5117826) had the drawback of causing the finished takoyaki to have a long and thin shape like a rugby ball. However, it was discovered that with a motor mounting angle of 23 degrees, all of the takoyaki became perfectly round, which was the ultimate result discovered through trial and error. In other words, to rotate the takoyaki ingredients (roux) on the takoyaki plate 1A freely, the two-piece vibration transmission plate 1B uses vector theory to convert the rotational motion of a motor set at a specific angle into up-down and left-right motion within the hemispherical recess of the takoyaki plate 1A, resulting in perfectly round takoyaki. Effect of the Invention

[0015] According to the present invention, the grill plate body 1 is a takoyaki plate 1A that is mainly used for grilling, and a vibration transmitting device that transmits vibration to the takoyaki plate 1A. Together, they form a thick grilled section as a whole.The vibration transmission plate 1B is a laminated structure for transmitting the vibration to the takoyaki plate 1A, and the two can be separated, and the vibration transmission plate 1B is firmly fixed to the main body case 10, so that the weight of the takoyaki plate 1A, which has been reduced by half, can be attached and detached to the upper part of the main body case 10. Therefore, when necessary, only the takoyaki plate 1A can be more easily removed from the main body case 10 and washed with water, so that takoyaki can always be cooked in a clean state. If a gap is formed between the main body case 10, the takoyaki plate 1A, and the upper edge of the main body case 10, any spillage from the edge of the takoyaki plate 1A will not drip onto the upper outer periphery of the main body case 10, making it even cleaner to use.

[0016] Furthermore, when the heat source for cooking is electric, it generally requires about 500kW or 1KW, like a toaster or microwave oven, so that even in an ordinary home or business, using multiple units at the same time would trip the breaker, but in the present invention, by using gas supplied by a gas cartridge 9, propane gas, hydrogen fuel, etc., multiple units can be easily used in parallel not only in ordinary homes, but also for commercial use such as restaurant kitchens and bowling alley event sites. Also, it can be used outdoors with a simple commercial power source, and has the advantage of being able to be used with other power sources such as portable generators and automobile power sources. (In a typical Japanese home, the rated power is 100V x 20-25A, making it difficult to use it in conjunction with a microwave oven, induction heater, electric stove, etc.)

[0017] Furthermore, the motor 7 often becomes unusable even after a short time of use due to the heat of the takoyaki plate 1A heated by the burner 5 being transferred by thermal conduction from the vibration transmission plate 1B, etc., but it is preferable to have the connection between the motor 7 and the main body case 10 in a partial point contact state, which greatly reduces heat conduction and prevents the motor 7 from breaking down in a short time. For this reason, it is preferable to make the vibration transmission plate 1B ring-shaped and to provide small support protrusions 33 on the underside of some of the grilling holes, for example three of them, to minimize contact between the vibration transmission plate 1B and the underside of the takoyaki plate 1A. BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THEINVENTION

[0018] Fig. 1 is a schematic perspective view of one embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 2 is an exploded perspective view thereof, in which the grilling plate body 1 is composed of a takoyaki plate 1A and a vibration transmission plate 1B, which are joined vertically so as to be separable into two, the lower vibration transmission plate 1B is fixed to the top of the case body 10 with screws or the like, and the takoyaki plate 1A is detachably attached above the vibration transmission plate 1B with a fixing hook 30 or the like, and the grilling plate body 1 is mounted on a burner mount 4 via a ring guard 2 and the vibration transmission plate 1B. A burner 5 is placed on the burner mount 4.

[0019] Here, the reason why the grilling plate main body 1 has a two-layer structure in which the takoyaki plate 1A and the vibration transmission plate 1B can be separated is to make it possible to configure a grilling section with a thick structure as a whole. If it were made possible to remove it from the main body case 10 as a thick plate without separating it, it would be heavy to remove and wash, and would be difficult to handle. Also, if a thick integrated part were made detachable from the main body case 10, it would be difficult to handle it because the vibrating takoyaki maker of the present invention is constantly vibrating. The center of gravity shifts upward, and the operating state and This is because the mounting condition is prone to becoming unstable.

[0020] That is, according to the present invention, the grilling plate body 1 as a whole is thick and can thoroughly grill and keep the octopus ingredients warm with far infrared rays, while only the upper takoyaki plate 1A, which is lighter than the grilling plate body 1 as a whole, can be removed from the main body case 10 for washing, making it easy to handle. Moreover, the lower vibration transmission plate 1B is fixed to the main body case 10, so the vibration transmission plate 1B at the bottom of the grilling plate body 1 does not wobble even with constant vibration, allowing for stable grilling.

[0021] The main body case 10 consists of a main body part 10A that houses the main mechanism and a cassette storage part 10B connected to it. A motor 7 supported by a motor support 6 is stored in the bottom part of the main body part 10A of the main body case 10, and a burner mount 4 is positioned above this motor 7.

[0022] A cassette gas cylinder 9 can be attached to the cassette storage section 10B, and the burner 5 can be burned with gas supplied from the cassette gas cylinder 9, such as LPG or hydrogen gas, to cook the takoyaki ingredients placed in the hemispherical recess of the takoyaki plate 1A.

[0023] The motor support 6 that holds the motor 7 is connected to the upper end of a spring 11 fixed to the main body part 10A of the main body case 10 at a suitable position at the bottom so that it can vibrate. When the motor 7 rotates, vibrations are generated by the pendulum weight 12 attached to the rotating shaft of the motor 7 in an eccentric state, causing the takoyaki plate 1A to vibrate.

[0024] Here, in the illustrated embodiment, the motor 7 is installed at an appropriate angle (23 degrees) inclined relative to the takoyaki plate 1A and the vibration transmission plate 1B by the motor support 6, and a composite state of vibrations that are appropriately distributed in all directions is generated, causing the ingredients placed in the round holes of the takoyaki plate 1A to vibrate and spin around while being cooked.

[0025] The main body case 10 is composed of a cylindrical main body part 10A and a cassette storage part 10B, and a roughly cone-shaped burner mount 4 is attached by frames 22, 22... which are installed on the main body part 10A by welding or the like, and a burner 5 is installed on the bottom of this burner mount 4. A vibration transmission plate 1B is connected to the upper ends of springs 11, 11..., the lower ends of which are attached to the main body part 10A of the main body case 10 via the frames 22, 22..., and the vibration transmission plate 1B is attached to the top side of the main body case 10, and the upper end of the springs 11, 11... is connected to the upper end of a motor support 6 via the vibration transmission plate 1B. A motor 7 is installed below the burner mount 4.

[0026] The vibration transmission plate 1B has spring-elastic fixing hooks 30, 30... which are removably attached to appropriate locations on the periphery of the takoyaki plate 1A. The outer periphery of the takoyaki plate 1A is covered by a ring guard 2 attached to the upper edge of the main body case 10 to prevent residue from spilling onto the outer periphery of the main body case 10 during cooking. The ring guard 2 also has the function of preventing burns. The takoyaki plate 1A can be detachably attached to the vibration transmission plate 1B by any suitable mechanism other than the above-mentioned fixing hook 30, such as bolts and wing nuts, as long as it is an appropriate mechanism that can be easily attached and detached. Furthermore, a hook or other attachment tool for fixing the takoyaki plate 1A in a state of being in close contact with the vibration transmission plate 1B may be installed on the case body 10.

[0027] The motor support 6 is arranged with a suitable inclination of the motor 7, which is attached to a rotating shaft with a pendulum weight 12 displaced, so that the rotation of the motor transmits vibrations to the vibration transmission plate 1B and the takoyaki plate 1A. A cassette gas bottle 9 is attached to the cassette storage section 10B located at the bottom on one side of the main body case 10.

[0028] Furthermore, the motor support 6 and the vibration transmission plate 1B are attached by multiple stays 24, 24, etc., but the upper end of the stay 24 is attached in a state of partial point contact rather than full contact with the underside of the vibration transmission plate 1B, and the downward propagation of the heat generated by the burner mount 4 and the takoyaki plate 1A heated by the burner 5 is dispersed by the annular shape of the vibration transmission plate 1B and the contact between the takoyaki plate 1A and the vibration transmission plate 1B at point contacts of multiple legs. For example, Figures 5 to 7 show an example, where small protrusions 33 are provided only on the underside of some of the multiple grilling holes of the takoyaki plate 1A, minimizing the contact area between the two, and thus the effect of heat from the underside of the hot takoyaki plate 1A to the motor 7 can be sufficiently suppressed.

[0029] Furthermore, if the vibration transmission plate 1B is annular, the burner flame can be applied efficiently to the takoyaki plate 1A. The vibration transmission plate 1B is also designed not to be heated directly by the flame, so the transfer of heat from the takoyaki plate 1A is suppressed. If this were not the case, the heat transferred by thermal conduction from the takoyaki plate 1A heated by the burner 5 and the vibration transmission plate 1B would generally overheat the motor 7 even after a short period of use, and would often render it unusable. However, by doing this, the connection between the motor 7 and the main body case 10 is in a point-contact, distributed state, which greatly reduces heat conduction, prevents the motor 7 from overheating and breaking down, and allows it to withstand long periods of use. The connection structure between the takoyaki plate 1A and the vibration transmission plate 1B also uses a tripod system, making it difficult for heat to be transmitted from the takoyaki plate 1A to the vibration transmission plate 1B.

[0030] In the illustrated example, the takoyaki plate 1A and vibration transmission plate 1B of the present invention are fixedly connected by three fixing hooks 30 as shown in Figs. 7 and 8, and are in close contact with each other, so that the takoyaki plate 1A can be stably held. The three hooks, three springs, tripod motor support, etc. are based on the "three-point balance theory."

[0031] Furthermore, if you replace the takoyaki plate 1A with a flat plate, you can grill "okonomiyaki and yakiniku," and if you replace it with a Genghis Khan plate or a grill plate, it becomes a choice plate that can grill "a wide variety of foods." The "multi-function plates" currently available on the general market, such as flat plates, takoyaki plates, and grill plates, only have a simple "heating" function, but they cannot grill takoyaki while freely rotating the takoyaki ingredients like the automatic takoyaki maker of the present invention. Also, with a grill plate, you can grill the food without it burning. Also, if the back side of the takoyaki plate 1A is made flat, it can be used in both ways, using the front and back sides.

[0032] The usage state will be briefly described below. When a vibration switch provided at an appropriate position on the main body case 10 is turned on, power is supplied from a commercial AC power source to the motor 7, and the output shaft of the motor 7 is rotated in one direction at a constant rotation speed, for example, 1000 to 1500 rpm. This rotation of the output shaft causes the pendulum weight 12 to rotate around the inclined axis. The rotation of the motor 7 is transmitted as vibration to the takoyaki plate 1A and the vibration transmission plate 1B via the motor support 6. Also, since the input power source is a household cooking appliance, a magnetic switch system is used which prioritizes safety measures, and safety measures are taken to prevent the takoyaki maker from falling over in the unlikely event that it gets caught during installation or operation.

[0033] As described above, while the motor 7 is rotating, the burner 5, to which gas is supplied from the cassette gas bottle 9 housed in the cassette storage section 10B, is ignited to heat the takoyaki plate 1A either directly or via the vibration transmission plate 1B, and the takoyaki ingredients housed in the hemispherical recess are cooked. During this process, the vibrations produced by the motor 7 and the pendulum weight 12 are transmitted to the takoyaki plate 1A.

[0034] In this way, for example, the pendulum weight 12 is rotated at a high speed of 1000 to 1500 rpm, so that the takoyaki plate 1A vibrates at a high frequency, rotating the takoyaki while preventing them from burning, allowing them to be heated evenly, and furthermore, the cooked takoyaki can be kept warm without burning. The upper surface of the takoyaki plate 1A is coated with fluororesin, so that takoyaki can be cooked without using oil.

[0035] Although not shown, the underside of the main body case 10 is appropriately covered with a cover and has three anti-vibration rubber legs attached, which absorb the vibrations of the device and reduce the overall vibration to provide stable support when the device of the present invention is placed on a table or other support stand. The secure installation, like that of a camera tripod, meets safety standards.

[0036] Furthermore, a plurality of through holes are formed in the main body case 10 in a staggered pattern at intervals in the axial direction and at different positions in the circumferential direction. By forming a plurality of through holes in this manner, the main body case 10 has an opening ratio of approximately 44% to 55%, which provides ventilation to the space inside the main body case 10 and prevents the main body case 10 from overheating due to radiant heat when the inside is heated, ensuring safety.

[0037] Due to the nature of the food ingredients used in this device, the food spills or splatters, soiling the surrounding area, and dirt tends to stick to the surface after use, but the takoyaki plate 1A can be easily removed from the top of the main body case 10, so it can be kept clean by removing it and washing it with water after use. And instead of removing the entire grilling plate body 1, the lower vibration transmission plate 1B is left in place and only the upper takoyaki plate 1A is removed, so the parts that need to be removed and washed are lightweight and easy to handle. If the outside of the takoyaki plate 1A is covered with a ring guard 2, it is possible to prevent the outer periphery of the main body case 10 from becoming dirty. It also has a function of preventing burns.

[0038] In addition, because the heat source is the burner 5 that burns fuel such as gas supplied from a gas cartridge 9, the power source used is limited to only that which rotates the motor 7 (about 10 to 20 W), so even if multiple units are used in parallel, not only in ordinary homes but also for commercial use, the power consumption is low, and even if multiple units are installed and operated simultaneously in events corners of campsites, karaoke booths, bowling alleys, etc., other than ordinary homes, the power breaker will not trip. Also, it can be easily used outdoors as long as the environment is one in which commercial power or in-vehicle power is available.

[0039] Alternatively, if the automatic rolling function is applied, since it can be rotated without using heater power, it becomes easy to use the "rolling" function to make meatballs made from chicken, beef, pork, etc., fish balls, ridge-topped rice cakes, kinako-mochi rice cakes, etc., and it can be used for a wide range of purposes.

[0040] Furthermore, by reducing the heat conduction from the burner 5 to the motor 7, the heat conduction to the motor 7 is suppressed even during high-heat cooking, and durability can be improved. [Brief description of the drawings]
