TITLE: TEMPERATURE HOMOGENIZATION, PROTECTION, AND GREASE GUIDE STRUCTURE OF BARBECUE GRILL (a) Technical Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to a temperature homogenization, 5 protection, and grease guide structure in the technology field of barbecue grills and roasters, and more particularly to a structure that comprises a temperature homogenization protection section and is provided with an inclined, upward-facing arrangement of a burner and an M-shaped grease guide and temperature barrier board so that the structure, as a whole, helps homogenize a 10 grilling temperature, provides protection to the burner, and also prevents liquids, such as grease/fat of grilled food, meat juice, and sauce, from dropping onto the burner, and conducts, in a more effective manner, grease to a grease tray. (b) Description of the Prior Art 15 Grilling and roasting are a common activity of modem people for they provided food cooked with different styles for people to enjoy and also serve as a social process of enhancing friendship and social communication.
Grilling or roasting is often conducted with a grill. The way, as well as a grate structure, that a conventional barbecue grill takes to grill or barbecue 20 food is such that a grate is placed on an opening formed in a top of the grill 2017100392 06 Apr 2017 2 and charcoal is filled in the grill for burning and flaming or a burner (such as infrared heater) is used. Food is placed on the grate for heating and cooking. The charcoal flaming or burner used in the conventional grill is arranged to directly face and irradiate thermal energy toward the grate in order to heat and 5 cook food. The charcoal flaming or burner is set to directly face openings or slots of the grate that is placed above the flaming or burner so that a large amount of liquid of grilled food, such as sauce or grease/fat or juice of meat that is being grilled, may directly fall, in a vertical direction, onto the charcoal flaming or the burner during the grilling process. This leads to a large 10 amount of thick smoke, which affects air quality and contaminate the food, and is also harmful to human bodies.
Further, it is also available for burners used as a heat source in a barbecue grill to cook food that a barbecue grid is placed on the opening formed in a top of the barbecue grill and a protection hood, in the form of an inverted V-shape, 15 is provided inside the barbecue grill at a location above the burner. During grilling food, the protection hood provide shielding such that liquids, such as grease/fat of food, juice of meat, and sauce, will fall onto the protection hood and are prevented from dropping onto the burner to cause situations, such as catching a fire or inducing acidic/basic corrosion. However, such a known 20 structure of barbecue grill suffers at least the following shortcomings: 2017100392 06 Apr 2017 3 (1) Due to the slots or opening formed between ribs or bars of the barbecue grate, the transmission and distribution of heating barbecue temperature is generally not uniform and is not homogenized such that food cannot be uniformly and evenly heated and cooked, affecting the taste and 5 flavor of food so grilled. (2) Although a protection hood is provided above the burners, since the conventional protection hood is generally provided with no openings, radiation heat that emits aid irradiates from the upper side of the burner cannot be directly applied to the barbecue grate so that waste of thermal 10 energy results and manufacturing cost of the grill is increased. (3) Although the protection hood is provided to prevent liquids, such as grease/fat of food, juice of meat, and sauce, from directly dropping onto the burner, the protection hood itself is also heated by the radiation energy of the burner during a process of grilling food such that the liquids of food grease/fat, 15 meat juice, and sauce that drop onto the protection hood also catch a fire on the protection hood and similarly generate a large amount of smoke. (4) The V-shaped protection hood is arranged above the burner and is thus set at a relatively high location, so that liquids, such as grease/fat, meat juice, and sauce, are hard to drop onto a grease tray arranged thereunder. 2017100392 06 Apr 2017 4
Thus, the conventional structure of barbecue grill, as discussed above, when used for barbecuing or roasting or grilling food with a barbecue grill, does not achieve an effect of temperature homogenization and protection and does not provide an efficacy of true smoke-free grilling. Further, the 5 protection hood is also not in a perfect condition. Thus, further improvement is necessary.
In view of the above, the present invention aims to provide a solution that helps overcome the above discussed drawbacks and shortcomings of the prior art. 10 2017100392 06 Apr 2017 5

The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a temperature homogenization, protection, and grease guide structure of a barbecue grill, which comprises a temperature homogenization protection 5 section and is provided with an inclined, upward-facing arrangement of a burner and an M-shaped grease guide and temperature barrier board so that the structure, as a whole, helps homogenize a grilling temperature, provides protection to the burner, and also prevents liquids, such as grease/fat of grilled food, meat juice, and sauce, from dropping onto the burner, and conducts, in a 10 more effective manner, grease to a grease tray.
To achieve the above objective, the present invention is provided for being applicable to a barbecue grill. The present invention comprises at least one burner, a grate, and a grease guide and temperature barrier board, wherein the burner comprises a heat generation section and is arranged in an inclined, 15 upward-facing manner in a barbecue grill. The grate is arranged in a top opening of the barbecue grill, and the grate comprises a plurality of ribs. The ribs define therebetween a plurality of openings. The ribs are provided with at least one temperature homogenization protection section, and the temperature homogenization protection section is arranged above and 20 corresponding to the heat generation section. The grease guide and 2017100392 06 Apr 2017 6 temperature barrier board is configured in an M-shape. The grease guide and temperature barrier board is arranged in the barbecue grill and located under the burner.
As such, the temperature homogenization protection section so provided, 5 as well as the inclined, upward-facing arrangement of the burner aid the M-shaped grease guide and temperature barrier board, help homogenize the grilling temperature, protect the burner, and effectively guide and conduct away grease.
Beneficial efficacies of the present invention are as follows: 10 (1) The temperature homogenization protection section provides a temperature homogenization protection zone in the grate to help uniformly distribute convective temperature above the upward-facing and inclinedly arranged burners and prevents liquids, such as grease/fat of food being grilled, juice of meat, and sauce, from dropping down onto the burners to potentially 15 catch a fire or generate smoke. (2) The burners are arranged in an inclined and upward facing manner so as to face the bottom of the grate in an inclined manner, allowing thermal energy, such as infrared thermal energy, emitting from the burners to be transmitted in a direction toward the grate located on the top side thereof and 2017100392 06 Apr 2017 7 also toward spaces above and around the grate to improve performance of grilling. (3) The M-shaped grease guide and temperature barrier board, as compared to the conventional inverted V-shaped protection hood, is more 5 effective in guiding liquids, such as grease/fat, meat juice, and sauce, to drop down onto a grease tray located on the under side and, in addition, the grease guide and temperature barrier board is set at a location of a reduced height so as to effectively reduce the temperature of the grease guide and temperature barrier board, making it difficult for grease attaching to the grease guide and 10 temperature barrier board to catch fire.
