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

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, with the spread of kitchen equipment, there has been an increasing demand for cooking devices that can effectively discharge oily smoke generated during cooking.

Conventionally, this type of device has a smoke exhaust device 26 which has an exhaust fan 22 inlet 23 above the range 21 and a smoke exhaust port 25 provided on the wall surface 24 of the house, as shown in FIG.
A duct 28 having a suction port 27 near the range 21 is connected to the suction port 23, and oil smoke generated in the range 21 is sucked through the suction port 27, and the smoke is discharged from the exhaust gas. It was designed to be discharged outdoors via a device 26. (For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-66034), where the broken line arrow indicates the flow of oil smoke or the like.

0004

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The configuration of such conventional cooking equipment does not have a general exhaust function, so leaked oil smoke cannot be captured, and there are problems such as the need for a ventilation fan to exhaust the entire body. was there. Furthermore, since the suction duct 28 is installed on the rear wall of the range 21, there are also problems such as spoiling the aesthetic appearance.

[0005] The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and by disposing an air blower near the range that blows air toward a smoke evacuation device placed above the range, the oil smoke generated in the heating section is removed. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a cooking device that can effectively exhaust smoke using a small amount of air without adversely affecting combustion in the range, and eliminate the need for a suction duct connected to a smoke exhaust device. .

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the cooking device of the present invention includes a smoke inducer disposed near a heating section and a smoke evacuation machine disposed above the heating section. The smoke inducer has an air flow path with an inlet at one end and an outlet at the other end, and the inlet is located behind and to the side of the outlet, and the air flow discharged from the outlet The structure is such that the smoke generated in the heating section is attracted to the vicinity of the smoke inducer and then diverted toward the smoke evacuation machine.

[0007]

[Operation] With the above-described configuration, the air flow discharged from the smoke inducer toward the smoke evacuation device induces an induced flow flowing from the heating section toward the smoke inducer, and the oil smoke generated in the heating section is removed. By preventing the spread of smoke and blowing the induced oil smoke toward the smoke evacuation machine, effective smoke evacuation can be achieved with a small amount of air flow. Furthermore, it also eliminates the need for a suction duct connected to the smoke evacuation device.

[0008]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

As shown in the figure, the cooking device includes a heating section 2 of a range 1, a smoke inducer 3 disposed behind it and configured to be detachable from the range 1, and a smoke evacuation machine located above the range 1. It consists of 4. The smoke inducer 3 has an air blower 5 inside that sends an air flow (indicated by a solid line arrow in the figure) that generates an induced flow, and has one end as an air inlet 6 and the other end as an outlet. 7, and has an air flow path 9 with a U-shaped cross section that is separated into the front and back by a partition wall 8, and the suction port 6 is connected to the discharge port 7.
They are located at the rear and sides of the main body, and are both open upwards. On the other hand, the smoke evacuation device 4 includes a hood 12 having a suction port 10 at its lower part and housing an exhaust blower 11 therein, and a smoke evacuation port 14 provided on a wall surface 13 of the house. In addition, the airflow discharged from the discharge port 7 of the smoke evacuation device 3 is directed toward the suction port 10 of the smoke evacuation device 1, and at the same time, the discharge angle is directed forward and upward of the smoke evacuation device 3, so that the smoke evacuation device 4 removes oil smoke, etc. It is made to be discharged outdoors. 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 5 toward the smoke evacuation device 4 induces an induced flow in the flow around the heating section 2 from the front to the rear, that is, in the direction of the smoke evacuation device 3. It acts on Therefore, the oil smoke generated in the heating section 2 is attracted to the vicinity of the smoke inducer 3 along with the induced flow, and then transferred toward the suction port 10 of the existing smoke evacuation device 4 along with the airflow discharged from the smoke inducer 3. The smoke becomes a flowing stream and is discharged to the outside via the smoke evacuation device 14. Therefore, it is possible to prevent oil smoke and the like from spreading toward the front of the range 1, so that effective smoke evacuation can be achieved with a small amount of air. Furthermore, the air flow path 9 is configured to have a U-shaped cross section separated into the front and back by a partition wall 8, and the suction port 6 is provided behind and to the side of the discharge port 7, so that the discharged air flow is guided back from the suction port 6. Since the so-called recirculation amount sucked into the smoke machine 3 is greatly suppressed, the smoke inducer 3 can be downsized and an induced flow can be generated without adversely affecting the combustion performance of the heating section 2. In addition, by setting the air flow discharged from the discharge port 7 to the front and upward direction of the smoke inducer 3, contamination of the wall surface 13 of the house behind the smoke inducer 3, especially due to adhesion of oil and fat components, is significantly reduced. There are advantages to being able to do so. Although this embodiment has been described with the smoke inducer 3 disposed behind the heating section 2, the same effect can be obtained even if the smoke inducer 3 is disposed on the side of the heating section 2. Furthermore, by making it detachable from the microwave oven 1, there is an advantage that it can be used with an existing microwave oven.

[0011]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the range of the present invention,
Oil smoke, etc. is attracted to the vicinity of the smoke inducer and then discharged towards the smoke evacuation machine installed above, which prevents the generated oil smoke from spreading and allows effective smoke evacuation with a small amount of air. realizable. Further, by providing the intake port of the air flow path behind and to the side of the discharge port, the amount of recirculation of the discharged airflow can be significantly suppressed, and the smoke inducer can be made smaller. Furthermore, it is possible to provide a cooking device that does not require a suction duct connected to a smoke evacuation device and can maintain its aesthetic appearance.
