DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0044] Hereinafter, a technical configuration and operational effects of a grill pan 200 for a direct fired roast according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 4 to 11.

[0045] According to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, the grill pan 200 for the direct fired roast may include a roasting plate 300 formed of aluminum or the like, and a support container 350 formed of an aluminum alloy, stainless steel, or the like.

[0046] According to the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the roasting plate 300 may include: a disc part 310 having a ring shape; and a reinforcing plate 320 having both ends connected to an inner surface of the disc part across a center of the disc part having the ring shape. The reinforcing plate 320 may be formed integrally with the ring-shaped disc part 310, and formed in a portion indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 5.

[0047] In addition, the roasting plate 300 may include: a plurality of upper ribs 330 connected to one side and an opposite side of the reinforcing plate to form a right angle with the one side and the opposite side of the reinforcing plate, and spaced apart from each other at a predetermined interval such that both ends of the upper rib are connected to the inner surface of the disc part; and a plurality of lower ribs 340 connected to the one side and the opposite side of the reinforcing plate to form a right angle with the one side and the opposite side of the reinforcing plate, in which the lower rib is provided between the upper ribs such that both ends of the lower rib are connected to the inner surface of the disc part.

[0048] The upper ribs 330 and the lower ribs 340 may also be integrally formed when the reinforcing plate 320 and the ring-shaped disc part 310 are formed.

[0049] A ring width of the ring-shaped disc part 310 may be, for example, 30 to 40 mm, and an outer diameter of a ring may be 250 to 350 mm.

[0050] As shown in FIGS. 5, 8, and 11, the reinforcing plate 320 may have the both ends integrally connected to the inner surface of the disc part across the center of the ring-shaped disc part 310, and a width of the reinforcing plate may be approximately 10% to 20% of the outer diameter of the disc part 310. When the width of the reinforcing plate is too wide, direct fired roast efficiency may be reduced, and when the width of the reinforcing plate is too narrow, supporting strength for maintaining shapes of the upper ribs 330 and the lower ribs 340 on both sides of the reinforcing plate may be reduced during a manufacturing process of the roasting plate or during use of the roasting plate after being manufactured.

[0051] In addition, the upper ribs 330 may be spaced apart from each other at a predetermined interval to form a straight line in a direction traversing the reinforcing plate with the reinforcing plate 320 interposed therebetween, and the lower ribs 340 formed between the upper ribs 330 may form a straight line in the direction traversing the reinforcing plate 320 with the reinforcing plate 320 interposed therebetween.

[0052] As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the upper ribs 330 may be separated from each other by spaces S1 formed at a predetermined interval, and the lower ribs 340 may be separated from each other under the upper ribs 330 by spaces S2 formed at a predetermined interval and having a width that is smaller than a width of the upper rib. The space S1 of the upper rib 330 may have a width that is smaller than a width of the lower rib.

[0053] In other words, each of the lower ribs 340 may be located under the space S1 of the upper rib 330, and each of the upper ribs 330 may be alternately located over the space S2 of the lower rib 340.

[0054] The upper rib 330 and the lower rib 340 may be formed in top surfaces thereof with an upper oil passage 331 and a lower oil passage 341 having a U-shaped section, respectively.

[0055] The upper oil passage 331 and the lower oil passage 341 may serve as passages for discharging oil toward the support container 350.

[0056] In addition, as shown in FIG. 10, the upper rib 330 located over a lower space S2 of the lower rib 340 may have one edge 330a that, partially overlaps a lower rib when viewed in a plan view, and an opposite edge 330b that partially overlaps another adjacent lower rib across the lower space S2 of the lower rib 340 by a width D1. This configuration is provided to receive, when oil that comes out from meat or the like placed and roasted on the upper rib 330 falls on outer sides of the both edges 330a and 330b without being fully recovered to the upper oil passage 331 formed in the top surface of the upper rib 330, the oil by the lower rib 340 so that the oil may smoothly flow toward the support container through the lower oil passage 341.

[0057] In addition, a space gap D2 communicating with the lower space S2 may be formed between the upper rib 330 and the lower rib 340.

[0058] As shown in FIG. 11, the space gap D2 may form a slot-shaped groove 335 in a longitudinal direction of the upper rib 330 and the lower rib 340 with the reinforcing plate 320 interposed therebetween.

[0059] The slot-shaped groove 335 may serve to induce heat rising through the lower space S2 to exit the slot-shaped groove 335 and rise upward through an upper space S1.

[0060] As the heat rising through the lower space S2 exits the slot-shaped groove 335 and rises upward through the upper space S1 as described above, the heat may make direct contact with a surface of the meat placed on the upper rib 330, so that the meat may be directly fired and roasted.

[0061] The upper rib 330 and the lower rib 340 may be alternately arranged in an up-down dual structure, and the width of the lower rib 340 may be wider than a width of the upper space S1 so that all of the oil falling down through the upper space S1 may be received by the lower rib 340.

[0062] In addition, a width of the oil passage 341 formed in the top surface of the lower rib 340 may be slightly wider than a horizontal width of the upper space S1.

[0063] Since the upper rib 330 and The lower rib 340 are configured as described above, the oil may be prevented from falling down to contaminate surrounding containers or from falling directly into the fire to generate smoke and soot, and the fire supplied from a heating means such as a gas stove or a charcoal fire may make direct contact with the meat placed on the top surface of the upper rib 330, so that efficiency and flavor of the direct fired roast may be doubled.

[0064] In addition, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, an uppermost end surface 320a of the reinforcing plate may be at least located lower than a position of an uppermost end surface 332 of the upper rib 330.

[0065] The upper oil passages 321 of the reinforcing plate alternately arranged in the reinforcing plate 320 may be connected to the U-shaped oil passage 331 formed in the upper rib 330 to form a straight line on a same plane as the U-shaped oil passage 331 formed in the upper rib 330, and the lower oil passages 322 of the reinforcing plate alternately arranged in the reinforcing plate 320 may be connected to the U-shaped oil passage 341 formed in the lower rib 340 to form a straight line on a same plane as the U-shaped oil passage 341 formed in the lower rib 340.

[0066] The reinforcing plate 320 configured as described above may serve to support the upper and lower ribs 330 and 340 to prevent the upper and lower ribs 330 and 340 from being deformed or twisted during the manufacturing process or the use of the roasting plate 300, and may serve to connect the U-shaped oil passages 331 and 341 of the upper and lower ribs 330 and 340 to each other so as to prevent the oil from stagnating on a surface of the reinforcing plate 320. The upper rib 330 and the lower rib 340 having the U-shaped oil passages with the reinforcing plate 320 interposed therebetween may be inclined to have a gradient that is gradually lowered from a center to both ends of the reinforcing plate.

[0067] It should be understood that the disc part 310, the reinforcing plate 320, the upper rib 330, and the lower rib 340 described above are used for convenience of describing a structure of the present invention, and the disc part 310, the reinforcing plate 320, the upper rib 330, and the lower rib 340 may be integrally manufactured by using aluminum or an aluminum alloy plate during the manufacturing process.

[0068] In particular, according to the present invention, the reinforcing plate 320 may be curved along a pattern of the upper and lower ribs 330 and 340 at a position lower than the position of the uppermost end surface 332 of the upper rib 330 as shown in FIG. 8, so that even when a raw material of the roasting plate 300 with a thin thickness is processed, strength of the roasting plate may be significantly improved.

[0069] Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 4, the support container 350 on which the roasting plate 300 is placed and supported may include: a stepped sill part 352 stepped with respect to a side wall 351; and an oil collecting part 353 for collecting oil discharged from the upper and lower ribs of the roasting plate. The oil collecting part 353 may be concavely formed along an inner bottom surface of the container surrounded by the side wall 351.

[0070] A center portion of the container surrounded by the side wall 351 may be opened so as to be exposed to the reinforcing plate 320 and the upper and lower ribs 330 and 340 of the roasting plate, and the fire may be supplied to the roasting plate 300 through the opened portion.

[0071] A plurality of supports 354 on which the ring-shaped disc part 310 of the roasting plate 300 as placed and supported may protrude from the stepped sill part 352. The support 354 may allow the roasting plate 300 to maintain a sufficient interval from the oil collecting part 353 when the roasting plate 300 is placed on the support 354, and may allow the roasting plate 300 to be easily separated from the support container.

[0072] According to the present invention, since the support container 350 is configured such that the oil collected through the upper and lower ribs 330 and 340 may flow down to the oil collecting part 353 through the ring-shaped disc part 310 when The ring-shaped disc part 310 of the roasting plate 300 is placed on the support 354, exposure of the oil to the fire may be minimized, so that the oil may be safely discharged.

[0073] The grill pan 200 for the direct fired roast according to the present invention described above is not limited to the structures of the drawings and the descriptions as illustrated above, and may be implemented with various modifications within the scopes of the claims and the objects of the present invention.
