Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a high-frequency heating device that can easily perform smoked cooking.

(b) Conventional technology Smoked foods have a good shelf life and a good flavor.

However, it is an expensive food, and when smoked at home, it generates smoke, which requires a lot of effort to clean up after the smoke.

(c) Problem to be solved by the invention The problem is to enable smoked cooking to be easily performed.

(d) Means for Solving the Problems Therefore, the present invention provides a heating chamber, a high-frequency generating means for supplying high-frequency radio waves into the heating chamber, a smoke generator that generates smoke, and the smoke generator and the heating chamber. a smoke circulation path communicating with the smoke circulation path; and a ventilation means provided within the circulation path;
It is equipped with the following.

(E) Effect The food placed in the heating chamber of the high-frequency heating device is heated by high-frequency radio waves supplied from the high-frequency generating means to the heating chamber. At this time, by generating smoke with a smoke generator and sending the smoke into the heating chamber through the circulation path using a blowing means provided in the smoke circulation path communicating between the generator and the heating chamber, The food is smoked.

(F) Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

1 is a high-frequency heating device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a heating chamber in which food to be cooked (not shown) is housed in the apparatus 1, and high-frequency radio waves oscillated and output from a magnetron (not shown) as a high-frequency generating means are supplied through a waveguide 3. Further, the front opening of the heating chamber 2 is closed by a door 4 so as to be openable and closable.

A smoke generator 5 generates smoke, and the smoke generator 5 will be described in detail below.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a metal chip tray for storing smoke generating chips, and the outer periphery of the side surface of the tray 6 is covered with a heat-resistant material 7 such as ceramic. The saucer 6 is supported by being fitted into a substantially rectangular annular drawer 8. Further, the drawer 8 is inserted into and taken out of the device 1 through an opening provided on the front surface of the device 1, and a heater 9 that heats the saucer 6 in the inserted state is disposed just below the saucer 6.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a circulation duct which is connected to a smoke inlet 11 and a smoke outlet 12 provided in the heating chamber 2, respectively, and is provided with a blower fan 13 as a blower inside, which allows the smoke generator 5 and heating to be connected to each other. It is in communication with room 2.

Reference numeral 14 denotes an operation panel provided with a key input section 15 consisting of a plurality of operation keys serving as input means, and a display section 16 for displaying operation contents.

In this embodiment, the smoke generated by the smoke generator 5 is directly sent into the heating chamber 2, but the smoke generator 5 is made of glass, ceramic, etc. that can transmit high-frequency radio waves, and the inlet port 17 and the exhaust port are 18, using a smoked cooking container 19 having the inlet port 17 and the outlet port 1
8 are aligned with the smoke inlet 11 and the smoke exhaust port 12 of the heating chamber 2, respectively, so that the smoke is removed from the container 19.
It may be possible to prevent it from spreading outside of the range (see Figure 2).

With the configuration described above, the operations described below are performed.

The high-frequency radio waves supplied from the magnetron into the heating chamber 2 heat the food, and the smoke generated from the smoke generator 5 is transferred to the heating chamber 2 using the wind generated by the blower fan 13 in the circulation duct 10. By sending the food inside, the food is smoked.

Thereby, the food is smoked.

Further, in another embodiment in which the smoked cooking container 19 is set in the heating chamber 2, in this state, the smoke generated from the smoke generator 5 is heated while heating the food using high frequency radio waves as described above. By feeding the smoke into the container 19, smoked cooking can be performed without the generated smoke filling the heating chamber 2. This is caused by leakage to the outside from the gap in the heating chamber 2, or smoke from the heating chamber 2.
This will help prevent soot from getting stuck on the surface.

(G) Effects of the Invention Food placed in the heating chamber of the high-frequency heating device is heated by high-frequency radio waves supplied from the high-frequency generating means to the heating chamber. At this time, by generating smoke with a smoke generator and sending the smoke into the heating chamber through the circulation path using a blowing means provided in the smoke circulation path communicating between the generator and the heating chamber, Can be easily smoked.
