BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cooking device used in a kitchen, and more particularly to a device for effectively collecting and discharging oily smoke generated during cooking.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. It has a suction port 5 near it, and is connected to a duct 7 having a removable grease filter 6 provided therein.

[0003] The smoke evacuation device sucks oil smoke etc. generated in the range 1 from the suction port 5, and the oil contained in the oil smoke adheres to a grease filter 6 provided inside the duct 7 and is then separated and purified. The air is discharged outdoors through a blower mechanism 4 through an outlet 9 opened in a wall 8 of the house (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-66034). Here, the dashed arrows indicate the flow of oil smoke, etc.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the above-mentioned conventional configuration, it is necessary to remove the grease filter from the smoke exhaust duct and purify the oil adhering to the grease filter, which is unhygienic and causes contamination of the surrounding area during cleaning. There was a problem with this. In addition, since a suction duct is installed on the rear wall of the microwave, there are also problems such as spoiling the aesthetic appearance.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and aims to effectively collect and purify generated oil smoke and eliminate the need for a suction duct connected to a smoke evacuation machine.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a heating section, a smoke collector disposed near the heating section and a built-in oil purification section made of a catalyst, and a smoke collector disposed above the heating section. The smoke evacuation device is configured to suck oil smoke generated in the heating section into the smoke collecting device so as to pass through the oil purification section, and connect it to an existing smoke evacuation device disposed above the heating section. It has a built-in blower that blows air towards it.

[0007]

[Function] With the above-described configuration, the present invention can prevent the spread of oil smoke by collecting the generated oil smoke into the smoke collector by using the airflow from the blower, and the sucked oil smoke can be prevented from spreading. It is effective to purify the smoke in the purification section and then discharge it toward the smoke evacuation machine.Moreover, the maintenance of the purification section is almost unnecessary, and at the same time, the contamination of the surrounding area can be significantly reduced. Furthermore, it is possible to eliminate the need for a suction duct connected to the smoke evacuation machine.

[0008]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Examples of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of the present cooking device when it is installed in an actual use condition. It consists of a smoke collector 13 and a smoke evacuation machine 14 provided above the range 11. Further, the smoke generated during cooking includes oil smoke, combustion products, water vapor, etc. The case of oil smoke will be explained below. The smoke collector 13 includes an oil purification section 16 and an oil purification section 16 disposed inside the inlet 15.
and a blower 18 disposed between the outlet 17 and the outlet 17, and sucks oil smoke etc. from the inlet 15 through the oil purifying section 16,
An air flow (indicated by a solid arrow in the figure) is formed to be discharged from the discharge port 17. On the other hand, as shown in a perspective view in FIG. 2, the oil purifying section 16 is composed of a main body 19 made of, for example, an oxidation catalyst molded into a honeycomb shape, and a heater 20 disposed upstream of the main body 19. Further, the smoke evacuation device 14 includes a hood 23 which has a suction port 21 at the lower part and houses an exhaust blower 22, and a smoke evacuation port 25 provided on a wall surface 24 of the house. On the other hand, smoke collector 13
The air flow discharged from the discharge port 17 of the smoke exhaust device 14 is directed toward the suction port 21 of the smoke evacuation device 14, and at the same time, the discharge angle is directed toward the front and upward of the smoke collector 13, so that the smoke evacuation device 14 discharges oily smoke etc. to the outside. I have to. Note that the broken line arrows indicate the flow of oil smoke generated in the heating section.

In the above configuration, the air flow discharged by the blower 18 from the suction port 15 through the oil purification section 16 and from the discharge port 17 in the direction of the smoke evacuation device 14 changes the flow around the heating section 12 from the front to the rear. In other words, a flow toward the smoke collector 13 is formed. Therefore, after the oil smoke generated in the heating section 12 is sucked into the smoke collector 13, it becomes a flow toward the suction port 21 of the smoke extractor 14 together with the airflow discharged from the smoke collector 13, and the smoke extractor 14 is It is discharged to the outside through. On the other hand, oil and fat components contained in the oil smoke adhere to the catalyst body 19 in the oil purification section 16, and the adhered oil and fat components are self-purified by catalytic action. Note that the heater 20 disposed upstream of the oil purification section 16 heats the oil purification section 16 in order to enhance the catalytic action of the oil purification section 16. Therefore, range 11
Since it is possible to prevent oil smoke and the like from spreading forward, oil smoke and the like can be effectively sucked into the smoke collector 13 with a small amount of air. In addition, since the oil and fat components in the oil smoke are removed by the oil purification section 16, the air flow discharged from the smoke collector 13 is significantly purified, and the maintenance of the purification section 15 can be significantly reduced. be. Although this embodiment has been described with a configuration in which the smoke collector 13 is disposed behind the heating section 11, similar functions and effects can be obtained even if the smoke collector 13 is disposed on the side of the heating section 11. Furthermore, by making it detachable from the microwave oven 11, there is an effect that it can be used with an existing microwave oven.

[0011]

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the cooking device of the present invention sucks oily smoke etc. into the smoke collector and then discharges it toward the smoke evacuation device placed above. It is possible to prevent this and achieve effective smoke evacuation with a small amount of air. Furthermore, since oil and fat components in the oil smoke are removed by the oil purification section, the air flow discharged from the smoke collector is significantly purified, and maintenance of the purification section can be significantly reduced. Furthermore, it also eliminates the need for a suction duct connected to the smoke evacuation machine, thereby maintaining the aesthetic appearance.
