Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement in a rotating food and beverage counter that is hygienic and does not reduce the freshness or taste of food and beverages.

Conventionally, in order to save labor and increase the efficiency of accommodating and rotating customers, a system has been used in which an endless transfer path is formed on the counter and food and drinks are placed on the path and continuously provided.

However, these are limited to those that are eaten as is, such as sushi.

However, some foods, such as yakiniku (grilled meat), are prepared and eaten by diners themselves at restaurants.

Therefore, the inventor of the present invention has already proposed a device in which a cooking station is integrally attached to a rotating food and beverage counter as a "food and beverage counter."

The present invention further improves this.

That is, since raw meat is used in grilled meat, etc., if it is exposed to the air for a long time, it will turn brown and lose its freshness.

Furthermore, since a considerable amount of raw meat is placed on the conveyor and rotated, it is desirable to pay even greater attention to hygiene around the conveyor path.

Hereinafter, specific examples of the present invention will be explained based on the drawings.

To explain the example in the case of yakiniku, A is the food and beverage counter of the present invention, but this also includes a food and beverage rotating section B.
It consists of a cooking processing section C, etc.

The food and drink rotating section B is located inside the counter surface (on the far side from the customer), and has an endless body 1 such as a chain hung along the counter.

A sprocket 2 that meshes with the endless body 1 is disposed at a proper position, especially at a position where the direction thereof is changed, and the shaft 4 to which the negative sprocket 3 is fixed is extended downward to A sprocket 5 is fixed to the end.

Furthermore, a sprocket 7 and a chain 8, which are fixed to a motor 6 which can be rotated freely and placed at a suitable location, are stretched to transmit power.

This causes the endless body 1 to rotate along the counter at an appropriate speed.

Next, above the position where the endless body 1 moves, left and right guide bodies 9, 9' slightly recessed from the soil surface are installed along the endless body 1 in a generally inverted V-shape in cross section.

The endless body 1 and the connecting body 11 are placed on the guide bodies 9, 9' in a required number so that they are guided and moved by both skirts of the guide bodies 9, 9'. etc. to connect firmly.

In addition, the mounting body 10...on top is the required direction 12 for grilled meat.
. . . are placed on a plate 13 . . . and move as the endless body 1 moves.

A gutter-like body 14 with an open top is installed below both hem portions of the guide bodies 9, 9', and a suitable support body 15 is installed.
etc., on the base 16.

Next, both shoulders of this gutter-like body 14 and the left and right guide bodies 9°9
' are respectively covered with covering members 17 and 18, and air chambers 19 and 20, which are airtight cylindrical bodies along the counter, are formed by these members and a part of the gutter-like member 14.

Further, below the covering bodies 17 and 18, a gutter-like body 21 is similarly constructed so as to cover the gutter-like body 14, thereby forming an air chamber 22.

With the above configuration, the outer periphery of the gutter-like body 14 is connected to the air chambers 19, 20,
Transfer route 2 along which 22 and the mounting body 10 move
3, it is possible to form an airflow circulation path, that is, an annular cross-sectional circulation path (hereinafter simply referred to as circulation path) in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the endless body 1.

Therefore, the perforations 24...
..., 24'..., etc. are applied.

In addition, since the power fan 25 is installed at a suitable position in the air circulation path, forced circulation can be performed in the air flow path.

Furthermore, if a refrigerant pipe 47 for flowing the refrigerant 46 into the air chamber 20 in front of the power fan 25 is installed along the counter in the path, for example, the path can be used as a cold air forced circulation path.

Note that the gutter-like body 21 does not necessarily have to be provided along the entire circumference.

Furthermore, when the drinking water pipe 26 is placed along the counter in the air chamber 19, the drinking water can be cooled and no additional energy is required.

However, by providing a riser pipe 27 from the drinking water pipe with an open end and installing a suitable water supply device 28, it can also serve as an automatic water supply device.

On the other hand, an endless body 1. sprocket 2,
It is preferable to store water 29 at the bottom of the container because it absorbs odors and keeps the atmosphere of the food to be placed and moved moist.

In this case, a drain pipe 31 is installed at an appropriate location on the bottom surface of the gutter-like body 14 via a drain device 30 having an appropriate odor-preventing structure.

Furthermore, the present invention may be equipped with an automatic cleaning device if necessary.

In that case, a cleaning water pipe 32 is provided around the air chamber 19 or 20, a nozzle 33 is disposed at a suitable position, and the cleaning water 34 generated and stored in advance is jetted out from the nozzle 33 by an appropriate operation.

Thus, the jetted cleaning water 34 evenly reaches the main parts of the device.

Next, the outside of the above food and beverage rotation part B (the side closer to the customer)
Cooking processing section C will be installed at .

In the cooking processing section C, a gutter-like body 35 having an open top and storing water 29 at the bottom is buried in the base 16 along the food/drink rotating section B.

Gas stoves 36 are arranged at appropriate intervals within this gutter-like body 35.
Prepare cooking firearms such as...

Note that gas is supplied to the gas stove 36 through a branch pipe 38 connected to a gas supply pipe 37.

Further, the gas stove 36 is individually equipped with an ignition cooking tool 39.

Then, the grilled meat iron plate 40 is set at the upper position of the gas stove 36.

Also, between this iron plate 40... there is a lid body 41...
... is covered over the gutter-like body 35 so that the bottom part is not exposed and the core part also serves as a support for objects.

The above is the cooking processing section C, but a flat plate 42 is extended further outward from the core section C, and a seat 4 for eating and drinking is placed outside of the flat plate 42.
They sit in third class and eat and drink.

Incidentally, the grilled meat iron plates 40 are set at predetermined intervals, and the transfer path along which the grilled meat plates 12 are transported corresponds to the set positions. A transparent hood 44 is intermittently covered above 23.

A suitable smoke exhaust duct 45 and its equipment are installed above the device.

To explain the operation of the present invention constructed as above, first, a customer who enters the store during business hours sits on one of the chairs 43 and lights the gas stove 36 by adjusting the ignition cooking tool 39.

Next, the user selects his/her favorite yakiniku plate 12 rotating in front of him/her, picks it up, grills it, and eats it.

In this case, the raw meat is placed in a forced circulation path of cold air, so it does not discolor or lose its freshness.

Furthermore, there is no situation where the odor of raw meat wafts as the temperature rises.

Also, the cold air does not stop flies and the like.

In this way, from the customer's point of view, there is no need to order each time, and they can freely take out fresh and hygienic food and drinks right in front of them and eat and drink them quickly.

On the other hand, from the store's point of view, it not only saves the wait staff's labor, but also improves the efficiency of customer turnover, and since it is a counter style system, it can increase the customer capacity.

Furthermore, after the business hours are over, automatic cleaning can be performed by operating the aforementioned automatic cleaning device, so in combination with the aforementioned effects during business hours, hygiene can be ensured from beginning to end, and the effort of cleaning can be saved.

Furthermore, the present invention allows the cooking table to be provided separately from the counter as shown in FIG. 4, and a different form can also be adopted.
