Description

  The present invention relates to a grill provided with a grill storage provided with heating means.

The grill as described above is provided in a cooking device such as a gas stove or an electric stove that cooks an object to be cooked such as fish.
In a conventional grill, a grill net for placing an object to be cooked and a juice tray placed below the grill net are provided in the grill cabinet. A heating means such as a burner heats an object to be cooked such as a fish placed on the grill, and receives the oil or the like falling from the object to be cooked in a soup pan. The hot air inside the grill chamber such as combustion exhaust gas from the burner is exhausted from the exhaust port provided at the rear end of the grill chamber to the outside of the grill chamber where the exhaust device is provided by using the draft action. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

In such a grill, oil stains scattered from the food to be cooked, such as fish, adhere to the grill net and juice tray. Need to be cleaned.
Conventionally, although it is related with an oven, there exists what cleans the inside of a heating chamber by washing away the dirt in the heating chamber which heats to-be-cooked food using steam (for example, refer to patent documents 2). In the oven described in Patent Document 2, steam is jetted into the heating chamber to lift and remove dirt adhering to the heating chamber, and then water is jetted from the cleaning nozzle into the heating chamber for heating. The dirt in the cabinet is washed away. Furthermore, when water is ejected from the cleaning nozzle into the heating chamber, the fan that forcibly circulates the hot air in the heating chamber is intermittently rotated, so that the water to be ejected from the cleaning nozzle is entirely contained in the heating chamber. I'm trying to spread it around.
In this way, in the oven described in Patent Document 2, the inside of the heating chamber can be cleaned simply by removing the washed-out dirt, and the heating chamber can be easily cleaned.

  In the oven described in Patent Document 2, after the steam is ejected into the heating chamber, the dirt in the heating chamber is washed away by ejecting water from the cleaning nozzle into the heating chamber. Therefore, in order to wash away the dirt in the heating chamber, in addition to the configuration for injecting steam into the heating chamber, a configuration for injecting water into the heating chamber is required, resulting in a complicated configuration.

  In addition, in the conventional grill, not only oil stains adhere to the grill or juice tray after cooking, but also oil vapor may remain in the grill cabinet. Even if the oil vapor is in a low concentration, if it is left as it is, it condenses and becomes oily dirt and adheres to the inside of the grill. However, in the oven described in Patent Document 2, since the dirt in the heating chamber is only washed away, the oil stains adhere to the oil vapor staying in the heating chamber, and the heating chamber is accurately cleaned. There is a possibility that it cannot be done.

  Incidentally, in the oven described in Patent Document 2, a fan that forcibly circulates the hot air in the heating chamber is provided, so that the oil vapor staying in the heating chamber is heated by rotating the fan. It is conceivable to exhaust to the outside. However, in the grill, as described in Patent Document 1, since the hot air in the grill cabinet is exhausted from the exhaust port to the outside of the grill cabinet using a draft action, no fan is provided. Therefore, in order to exhaust the oil vapor staying in the grill cabinet to the outside of the grill cabinet with certainty, a new fan must be provided. As a result, the configuration becomes complicated, and a large space for installing the fan must be secured, which may increase the size.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to this point, and an object thereof is to provide a grill capable of accurately and easily cleaning the inside of the grill cabinet.

  In order to achieve this object, the characteristic configuration of the grill according to the present invention is a grill provided with a grill cabinet provided with a heating means, and the stain is washed away by spraying steam on the stain in the grill cabinet. The cleaning means and the oil vapor guiding means for guiding the oil vapor in the grill warehouse to the exhaust outlet side by jetting of steam toward the exhaust outlet in the grill warehouse are provided.

That is, in some cases, the dirt cleaning means sprays steam on the dirt adhering to the inside of the grill, and the steam partially condenses, and the generated water exerts a cleaning action. The dirt in the grill can be washed away. Therefore, it is possible to clean the inside of the grill cabinet simply by removing the dirt washed away by the dirt cleaning means, and it is only necessary to provide the dirt cleaning means, and the dirt inside the grill warehouse can be washed away with a simple configuration. .
The oil vapor guiding means injects the steam toward the exhaust port as a gas to guide the oil vapor staying in the grill to the exhaust port, so the oil vapor staying in the grill is exhausted. It can be exhausted from the mouth outside the grill. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the adhesion of oil dirt due to the oil vapor staying in the grill. Further, the oil vapor guiding means may be provided with a nozzle or the like for jetting steam, and it is not necessary to newly provide a fan, and the configuration of the oil vapor guiding means can be simplified, but the installation space for the oil vapor guiding means is reduced. Can be small.
Therefore, it has become possible to provide a grill that can accurately and easily clean the inside of the grill cabinet while preventing the configuration from becoming complicated and large.

  According to a further characteristic configuration of the grill according to the present invention, the exhaust port is provided at a rear end portion of the grill cabinet, and the oil vapor guide means discharges steam from the front end portion to the rear end portion of the grill cabinet. The point is that it is configured to spout.

  That is, the oil vapor guiding means can guide the oil vapor to the exhaust port side over the entire interior of the grill warehouse by jetting of steam from the front end portion to the rear end portion of the grill warehouse. Therefore, the oil vapor staying in the grill can be accurately exhausted outside the grill.

  A further characteristic configuration of the grill according to the present invention is that a grill net for placing an object to be cooked and a soy saucer disposed below the grill net are provided in the grill warehouse, and the dirt cleaning means includes: It exists in the point comprised so that a vapor | steam may be sprayed toward the said grilling net and the said juice receiving tray from the side part of the said grill warehouse.

  That is, since the dirt cleaning means sprays steam toward the grill net and the juice tray, the dirt attached to the grill net and the juice tray can be washed away. In addition, since the dirt cleaning means sprays steam from the lateral side of the grill cabinet, as described in the second characteristic configuration, the steam is guided from the front end portion to the rear end portion of the grill cabinet. In this case, the oil vapor guiding means can be arranged without the dirt cleaning means getting in the way.

  A further characteristic configuration of the grill according to the present invention is that the dirt cleaning means is configured to spray steam from a side portion of the front end of the grill cabinet, and the grill net and the juice receiving tray are inserted into the grill cabinet. It is in the point that it is detachable.

  That is, in a state in which steam is sprayed from the front side lateral portion of the grill cabinet toward the grill net and the juice tray by the dirt cleaning means, the grill net and the juice tray are removed from the grill cabinet from the state where they are inserted into the grill cabinet. By moving in the insertion / removal direction, the location where the steam is sprayed onto the grill net and the juice tray can be changed from the front end portion to the rear end portion of the grill net and the juice tray. In this way, steam can be sprayed over the entire grill net and juice tray, and the dirt adhering to the grill net and juice tray can be washed away accurately. In addition, it is only necessary to provide the dirt cleaning means on the side of the front end of the grill cabinet, and the configuration can be simplified.

  A further characteristic configuration of the grill according to the present invention is that the dirt cleaning means is configured to swing the direction in which the steam is sprayed.

  That is, the location where the dirt cleaning means sprays steam on the grill net and the juice tray can be changed by swinging the steam spraying direction along the horizontal direction or the vertical direction. Therefore, the stain | pollution | contamination adhering to a grill and a soup saucer can be washed away exactly.

  A further characteristic configuration of the grill according to the present invention is that the dirt cleaning means and the oil vapor guiding means are configured such that after the dirt is washed away by the dirt cleaning means, the oil vapor is induced by the oil vapor guiding means. The control means which controls each operation | movement is provided.

  That is, there is a risk that oil vapor will stay in the grill cabinet newly by washing away the dirt by the dirt cleaning means. Therefore, by first washing away the dirt by the dirt cleaning means, and then guiding the oil vapor by the oil vapor guiding means, not only the oil vapor already accumulated in the grill warehouse, but also newly in the grill warehouse. The oil vapor staying in can be guided to the exhaust port and exhausted outside the grill. Moreover, the grill can be cleaned simply by instructing the control means to control the respective operations of the dirt cleaning means and the oil vapor guiding means by operating the operation unit by the user, Cleaning the inside of the grill can be performed more easily.
