Description

FISHING MACHINE MACHINE Technical field The present invention belongs to the technical field of kitchen material; particularly belongs to the technical field of food frying machines; more particularly it belongs to the technical field of meat frying machines.

State of the art In the Latin American food industry there is a very widespread diet based on fried meats, such as the classic "pork carnitas". This type of food is commonly prepared by frying the meats in a type of metal saucepan. However, the use of this type of utensils means that there is no heterogeneous control of the frying process. The staff that prepares this type of utensils must be handling the meat inside the saucepan using a kind of wooden shovel. The staff moves the meat using circular and undulating movements. This technique involves a tremendous physical exhaustion on the part of the personnel, as well as an exposure on the part of the meat to infectious organisms contained in the personnel. This technique also has the disadvantage of a large expenditure of heat energy for so long frying. These disadvantages cause the need for new machines or frying devices, especially when using large pieces of meat to be fried.

There are a multitude of options in the state of the art that have tried to solve the problem of food frying. However, there is no history regarding frying machines applied to large pieces of meat.

For example, patent US3720155 provides a food frying machine consisting of a frying chamber with two food holding baskets. This machine is adapted for the frying of food of small volume and little weight, such as potatoes or meat croquettes. The base of the camera is smooth and has an angle of inclination with respect to the horizontal. It also has an automated control of frying time. However, this machine is not useful for frying large quantities of meat and less for large pieces of it, so that these pieces will not be completely fried and the expenditure of heat energy will be very large due to the dimensions of the pieces to fry .

On the other hand, the patent application US61961 18B1 provides a food frying machine. Like the patent US3720155, the frying machine contains a frying chamber in which a food container can be housed. Although large pieces of meat can be cooked, the time of frying will be very long and with a high cost of calorific energy, because it does not have a system of undulating and / or circular movement which is recommended for frying large pieces of meat.

Patent US6363840B1 shows a food frying machine, which consists of a frying chamber and an oil recycling system controlled by a valve system. It should be noted that this oil recycling system does not have a duct that returns it to the inside of the frying chamber. Although this machine can be used to fry large pieces of meat, it will require a long time, as well as a large expenditure of heat energy.

Finally, the patent application WO2010 / 123172A1 provides a machine for frying vegetables and breaded meats. This machine has the peculiarity that it avoids the carbonization of the flour that covers the breaded meat and the oxidation of the food. It consists of a deep frying chamber that in its lower part contains a container for the collection of undesirable residues that will cause the carbonization and oxidation of the food. However, this machine has the disadvantage that large pieces of meat can not be fried due to its high consumption of time since it does not have a flow system for the large pieces of meat, necessary for the complete frying of the meat. Additionally, the cost of the machine is lifted due to the multitude of connecting pieces of the waste collection container system. It should be noted that the floor of the base of the chamber is smooth and does not contain an angle of inclination with respect to the horizontal. It also has the disadvantage that the frying system is based on electrical energy which translates into a long period of frying.

As it has been observed, there is a number of food frying machines. However, these machines can not be applied to the frying of meat in large pieces because they need in prolonged contact with the frying oil. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new machines that have the peculiarity of frying large pieces of meat and with a significant saving of heat energy.

In this regard, the present invention provides a frying machine for large pieces of meat which overcomes the disadvantages described above. This machine has the advantage of being able to fry massive quantities in large pieces of meat; as well as frying in a homogeneous way and with a great saving in calorific energy, which results in a reduction of frying time.

Detailed description of the invention The present invention provides a meat fryer machine for feeding. This machine basically consists of the following systems: a) a hexahedral frying chamber, b) a gas supply system, c) a heating concentration system, d) an oil recirculation system, e) a sliding system, f) one or more meat holding baskets, g) a temperature sensing system, and h) an automated time control, flow and gas injection and oil recirculation.

The frying chamber is of hexagical shape without the upper face (1, figures 1 and 2) and each of the faces of the frying chamber is composed of two sheets of stainless steel that cover a fiberglass sheet (18, figure 4).

The frying chamber contains in its upper part a cover system (15, figure 4) consisting of a stainless steel sheet which is attached to the frying chamber through a longitudinal system of hinges (16, figure 4): Additionally, the lid contains a pull system (17, figure 4) located on the outer face of said lid.

The gas supply system is a flute type consisting of a metallic cylindrical structure with a series of holes located in the longitudinal direction of the cylinder (2, figures 1 and 2). This cylindrical structure is located in the lower internal part of the frying chamber (1, figures 1 and 2) in the longitudinal direction thereof and close to the front face of the frying chamber. On the other hand, the cylindrical structure is connected by one of its ends to a gas supply system.

For its part, the heating concentration system consists of a series of stainless steel sheets joined in such a way as to form a zic-zac type structure (3, figures 1 and 2). Said zic-zac-shaped structure has a tilt angle selected from the range of -1 to -60 0 with respect to the horizontal.

In turn, the oil recirculation system consists of a system of stainless steel ducts controlled by a pump (4, figure 1 and 2). The entrance to the duct system is located in the lower part of the frying chamber and the outlet of the duct system is located on the upper internal face of the frying chamber. This outlet is through an internal duct (8, figure 2) that is connected to an oil filter (19, figures 2 and 4) located on the back face of the frying chamber. The system is controlled through an electrical wiring system connected in turn to an automated control.

On the other hand, the sliding system consists of four or more metallic rims placed strategically at the base of the frying chamber (5, figures 1, 2 and 3).

The meat holding baskets (Figure 3) consist of a hexahedral structure (13, Figure 3) where their faces are made of stainless steel mesh and is attached to a metallic structure connected to a frame in a vertical direction ( 14, figure 3). Said frame contains at its opposite end to the junction a cylindrical structure that has the function of serving as a handle so that the user can slide the baskets out of the frying chamber.

The temperature sensor system consists of a temperature sector (12, figure 2) is which is located on one of the side faces of the frying chamber. Said sensor is connected to the automated control by means of an electrical wiring system. For its part, the automated control is also connected by a system of electrical wiring to a device based on valves that control the entry of gas into the gas supply system.

Finally, it should be understood that the present invention can result in multiple modifications in terms of design, use of materials, dimensions and variants of gas injection mechanisms, heating concentration, and oil recirculation. The preferred material for the construction of the machine is stainless steel. In this regard, all such modifications should be understood as within the scope of the present invention.
