Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a roasting machine in which a heater placed above a roasted product mounting table 4 (grilling grate) is moved upward in conjunction with the opening operation of the lid.

BACKGROUND ART A roasting machine in which heaters are arranged above and below a roasted product mounting table and the upper heater is movable in the vertical direction is conventionally known. In this type of roaster, roasted products such as food can be easily loaded and unloaded with the upper heater raised, and when heating, the same heater can be brought close to the roasted products to heat efficiently. It has the advantage of being able to

However, in conventional roasting machines of this type, the heaters were moved up and down manually, which was cumbersome to operate, and people sometimes forgot how to move the heaters. When trying to remove roasted food, there was a risk of getting burned if your hands touched the heater or reflector.

The present invention has been made in order to eliminate the drawbacks of such conventional devices, and its purpose is to provide a roasting machine in which a heater disposed above a roasted product mounting table is movable in the vertical direction. The purpose is to raise the heater in conjunction with the opening operation of the lid, thereby eliminating the trouble of moving and operating the heater and also eliminating the risk of burns or the like due to operational errors.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention will be explained based on illustrated embodiments.

FIG. 1 shows the external appearance of the roasting machine, and 1 is the roasting machine main body. There are handles 2 on the left and right outer surfaces of the roasting machine body 1.
(only one of which is shown) is fixed, and a heating chamber 3 (see FIGS. 2 and 4) is provided inside the main body 1. A lid 4 for opening and closing the heating chamber is provided on the front surface of the roasting machine body 1, and a timer knob 5a is provided below the lid 4 for operating a timer 5 installed inside the roasting machine body 1 to set the heating time. and a heat amount switching knob 6 for setting the temperature inside the heating chamber 3. Furthermore, a heater elevation knob 7 is provided on the side of the lid 4.
is provided. In addition, 8 in FIG. 1 is a knob for opening/closing operation fixed to the lid 4.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the - plane of FIG. 1, and in the center of the heating chamber 3 provided in the roasting machine main body 1, a grill 9 serving as a roasted product mounting table is arranged in a substantially horizontal direction. Two rod-shaped heaters 10a and 10b are arranged above the grill 9, and one rod-shaped heater 11 is arranged below the grill 9. The upper heaters 10a and 10b are parallel to each other, and their respective ends are fixed to the left and right side plates of a reflecting plate 12 located further above. Further, U-shaped support members 13 (only one shown) as shown in FIG. 3 are fixed to the left and right edges of the upper surface of the reflector 12, and guide plates 15 ( (Only one side is shown) are arranged.
The upper and lower pieces of these supporting members 13 and the bent pieces 14
A guide shaft 16 is provided that passes through the reflector 12 and the upper heater 10a, along which the guide shaft 16 passes through the
10b can be moved in the vertical direction together. Further, each support member 13 is integrally formed with an interlocking member 17 that hangs downward. 18 in the diagram
is a manually operated lever bent into a U-shape, and the central part of this lever 18 is rotatably supported at the rear end of the heating chamber 3, and the left and right parts are supported by links 19.
(only one of which is shown) is connected to the support member 13. The right side of the operating lever 18 protrudes from the front surface of the roasting machine main body 1, and the heater lifting knob 7 is fixed to the tip thereof.

On the other hand, the grill 9 is held horizontally and can move forward and backward. And this grill 9
A cam plate 20, which together with the interlocking member 17 constitutes an interlocking mechanism, is fixed to the left and right sides. Cam plate 2
0 is an inclined surface 20a whose upper surface becomes higher toward the rear.
The lower ends of each interlocking member 17 are placed on this inclined surface 20a.

The lower edge of the lid 4 is hinged to the roasting machine body 1, and the opening/closing knob 8 is fixed to the upper outer surface.
By grasping and pulling toward you, it opens as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. The left and right edges of the inner surface of the lid 4 are connected to the cam plate 20 via links 21 (only one of which is shown).

When the lid 4 of the roasting machine configured as described above is opened as shown in FIGS. protrudes to the front through the section. At this time, as the cam plate 20 moves horizontally, the interlocking member 17 rises while slidingly contacting the cam surface 20a, and the reflection plate 12 and the upper heaters 10a and 10b rise together.

Next, after placing the roasted product on the grill 9, when the lid 4 is closed, the grill 9 moves horizontally backward in conjunction with this closing operation, and the interlocking member 17 slides into contact with the cam surface 20a. , the reflector 12 and the upper heater 1
0a, 10b are lowered by their own weight as shown in FIG.

Therefore, according to this roaster, since the upper heaters 10a, 10b move up and down in conjunction with the opening/closing operation of the lid 4, there is no need to manually move these heaters 10a, 10b. Since the upper heaters 10a and 10b are always in the upper position when the lid 4 is open, roasted products can be safely taken in and taken out.

Incidentally, also in this roaster, it is possible to manually raise the heaters 10a and 10b with the lid 4 closed. In other words, when the heater lift knob 7 is moved upward in the state shown in FIG.
0b will rise.

In this case, the interlocking member 17 is connected to the cam surface 20a.
Since the heaters 10a, 10b move in the direction away from the heaters 10a, 10b, there is no problem such as the lid 4 opening as the heaters 10a, 10b rise. 10b
It has the advantage that the height position can be adjusted manually.

In the above embodiment, the cam surface 20a is arranged so that the interlocking member 17 does not come into sliding contact with the cam surface (slanted surface) 20a until the cam plate 20 moves forward to a certain extent.
The positional relationship between Oa and the interlocking member 17 can also be set. In this way, the height positions of the heaters 10a, 10b do not change until the lid 4 opens to a certain angle, and when the lid 4 opens any further, the heaters 10a, 10b move in conjunction with the opening operation. Since the temperature rises, the inside of the heating chamber 3 can be observed by slightly opening the lid without raising the heaters 10a and 10b, and the cooking effect can be enhanced.

Next, the embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 will be described. This embodiment consists of a lid 4 and an upper heater 1.
0a and 10b is constituted by a link mechanism, and the same parts as in the previous embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed explanation will be omitted.
That is, one end of a link 22 is rotatably supported on the left and right sides of the gridiron 9 instead of the cam plate 20 in the above embodiment, and in a long hole 23 bored at the other end of the link 22, The link 19 and the support member 13
A pin 24 is inserted to connect the link 22 and the pin 24, and the link 22 and pin 24 constitute an interlocking mechanism.

Therefore, when the lid 4 is closed, as shown in FIG. As it opens as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the pivot point 22a of the link 22 moves forward together with the gridiron 9, the pivot end rises, and the elongated hole 2
Push up the pin 24 with the lower end of the reflector 12.
And the upper heaters 10a and 10b are raised together.

Therefore, in this embodiment as well, the upper heaters 10a and 10b move up and down in conjunction with the opening and closing operations of the lid 4, making it possible to achieve the intended purpose. Also in this embodiment, by moving the heater lift knob 7 upward with the lid 4 closed,
Heaters 10a, 10b can be raised manually. Furthermore, if the distance between the lower end of the elongated hole 23 and the pin 24 is set appropriately when the lid 4 is closed as shown in FIG. You can also do it.

As detailed above, according to the roasting machine of the present invention, the heaters 10a and 10 are arranged above the lid 4 that opens and closes the heating chamber 3 and the roasted product mounting table (grill 9).
b are interlocked via an interlocking mechanism such as a cam mechanism or a link mechanism, and the heater 10 is
By increasing a and 10b,
There is no need to move or operate the heaters 10a, 10b, and risks such as burns due to operational errors can be prevented. Further, since the heaters 10a, 10b and the reflector 12 fall under their own weight, there is no need for a spring or the like to lower them, and the configuration is simplified accordingly. Furthermore, when opening the lid 4, the heater 1
Since the weights of the heaters 10a, 10b and the reflector 12 act as a load, the shock caused when the lid 4 is fully opened is absorbed by the upward movement of the heaters 10a, 10b and the reflector 12, and is alleviated.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and can be modified in various ways. For example, the roasting product mounting table (grill 9) is not linked to the opening/closing operation of the lid 4, and the heating chamber 3
It may be fixed at a fixed position.
