DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a reliability evaluation of home electric appliances, and more particularly to a reliability evaluation apparatus of a kitchen installation type electric appliance.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an oil-smoke vapor generator of this kind has not been particularly developed, and as a method of reproducing an effect similar to this, one is an electric sprayer shown in FIG. And a small motor (pump) 18 connected to pump up the oil 2 in the tank, and this solution is sprayed from a spray nozzle 19. As another method, a constant temperature oil tank (oil bath) shown in FIG.
Stainless steel double tub 1 for storing and keeping oil 2 warm
A stainless steel pipe heater 3 for heating the oil 2, a temperature detecting means 4 for detecting the temperature of the oil 2,
It comprises an operation unit for setting a desired heating temperature, an excessive temperature rise prevention means 17 for detecting an abnormal temperature rise, and a control panel 13 in which the above operation unit and control unit are integrated. It generated oil smoke vapor.

[0003]

However, in the structure shown in FIG. 2, the oil is sprayed and the particle diameter is large and non-uniform, so that it hardly penetrates into the product and the reproducibility is poor. Therefore, there is a problem that it is far from reproducing the oil and smoke environment in the kitchen. Further, the configuration shown in FIG. 3 has a problem that a large amount of oily smoke cannot be safely generated in a short time.

An object of the present invention is to solve such a conventional problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for reliably reproducing an oil and smoke environment in a kitchen used for reliability evaluation of electric appliances.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, an oil-smoke vapor generating apparatus according to the present invention comprises a double tub for storing and keeping oil, a pipe heater for heating oil, and a pipe heater for heating oil. Temperature detecting means for detecting the temperature, an operation unit for setting a desired heating temperature, an excessive temperature rise preventing means for detecting an abnormal temperature rise, a water injection nozzle for generating oil smoke vapor, and water injection A water storage tank, a connecting pipe connecting the water storage tank and the water injection nozzle, a control valve for adjusting the water injection amount, and a control unit for driving and controlling the control valve,
An oil smoke guide for collecting the generated oil smoke vapor and a discharge fan for discharging the collected oil smoke vapor were adopted.

[0006]

According to the present invention, with the above-described structure, 180
By heating to a temperature of from about 200 ° C. to about 200 ° C. and periodically injecting a certain amount of water into this, it is possible to generate oil smoke vapor together with oil smoke.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The same components as in the conventional example are denoted by the same reference numerals.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a double tub made of stainless steel, and the tub 1 is filled with an appropriate amount of oil 2. This oil 2
Is heated by a stainless steel pipe heater 3. The temperature of the heated oil 2 is detected by the temperature detecting means 4 and adjusted to a desired temperature by the temperature control device 5.

When the temperature of the oil 2 reaches a desired temperature, the control valve 6 is periodically opened and closed by drive control of a control unit (not shown). When the control valve 6 is opened, the water 8 stored in the water storage tank 7 passes through the connecting pipe 9, and a certain small amount of water is discharged from the water injection nozzle 10. In this embodiment, the control valve 6 is periodically opened and closed to periodically discharge water. Water injection nozzle 1
The water 8 discharged from 0 is dropped on the oil 2 heated to a desired temperature to generate oil smoke vapor. The generated oil smoke vapor is collected by the oil smoke guide 11 at the upper outlet. The collected oil smoke vapor is discharged to the outside in the horizontal direction by the discharge fan 12 provided at the discharge port. Reference numeral 13 denotes a control panel in which an operation unit and a control unit are integrated.

It is to be noted that if the oil temperature rises excessively, it is dangerous. Therefore, an excessive temperature rise prevention control is provided to ensure safety.

[0011] In the above structure, it is preferable that a small amount of water is periodically dropped into high-temperature oil of 180 ° C to 200 ° C as an oil smoke generating condition. That is, water is 180 ° C to 200 ° C
When dropped into oil, it instantaneously becomes steam and rises. This water vapor acts to envelop the particles of the oil smoke, and generates oil smoke vapor together with the oil smoke.

The oil smoke vapor obtained in this way is substantially equal to the oil smoke vapor generated in the kitchen during actual cooking.
In this environment, kitchen-installed appliances can be evaluated in a way that is close to reality.

[0013]

As described above, the following effects can be obtained according to the oil smoke vapor generator of the present invention.

(1) heating the oil to 180 ° C. to 200 ° C.,
By injecting a certain amount of water (a small amount) periodically here,
It is possible to easily and reliably generate oil smoke vapor together with oil smoke, and to reproduce the kitchen oil smoke environment.

(2) Practical reliability evaluation of kitchen-installed appliances can be easily performed.
