Abstract

The inventive frying device (10) which comprises a unit (12) for conveying food (21) to be fried and a frying drum (11), is disadvantaged by the fact that the existing transport unit operates by scooping and, thereby does not convey a permanent amount of the food to be fried to the drum. The inventive device eliminates said disadvantage by portionwisely taking the food from a food container, weighting and conveying it to the drum.

Description

Fritiervorrichtung A frying
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Fritiervorrichtung zum schwimmenden Backen von Lebens- und Genussmittelportionen, insbesondere in Stücken vereinzelter Portionen nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a deep-frying device for floating baking of food and luxury food portions, in particular individual portions in pieces according to the preamble of claim 1.
Unter schwimmend backen wird die Aufbereitung von Lebens- oder anderen Genussmitteln (folgend zusammengefasst Lebensmittel genannt) verstanden, die sich dadurch kennzeichnet, dass Lebensmittel in heissem Fett schwimmend gegart, d.h. für den Verzehr geeignet durchbacken werden. Für diese Art der Lebensmit- telaufbereitung hat sich auch die Bezeichnung „fritieren", für Vorrichtungen zum Fritieren die der „Friteuse" durchgesetzt, die folgend in der Darstellung der Erfindung Verwendung findet. Die Friteuse nach der Erfindung ist insbesondere auf die Aufbereitung von Haufwerken aus vergleichsweise gleich grossen streifenförmi- gen Stücken ausgerichtet.Baking with floating means the preparation of food or other luxury foods (hereinafter referred to as food), which is characterized by the fact that food is cooked in hot fat, i.e. be baked suitable for consumption. For this type of food preparation, the term “deep-fry” has also become established, for devices for deep-frying that of the “deep-fryer”, which is subsequently used in the illustration of the invention. The deep fat fryer according to the invention is particularly geared towards the preparation of piles from comparatively equally large strip-shaped pieces.
Ein häufig zum Verzehr bestimmtes Haufwerk der beschriebenen Art wird aus Kartoffeln gebildet, das für den Verzehr durch Fritieren zubereitet wird. Allgemein bekannt sind solche Haufwerke unter der Bezeichnung „Pommes Frites Portionen".A pile of the type described, which is often intended for consumption, is formed from potatoes, which is prepared for consumption by deep-frying. Such piles are generally known under the name "French fries portions".
Bekannt ist eine Vorrichtung zur Herstellung von Pommes Frites Portionen, die letztere ausgehend von einem rohen oder vorgebak- kenen Haufwerk selbsttätig herstellt. Dazu umfasst die bekannte Vorrichtung im wesentlichen einen Vorratsbehälter für ungegarte Pommes Frites und eine Fntiertrommel, wobei der Vorratsbehälter über eine Rohrverbindung mit der Fritiertrommel in Verbindung steht.A device for producing french fries portions is known, the latter producing automatically on the basis of a raw or pre-baked pile. For this purpose, the known device essentially comprises a storage container for un-cooked French fries and an animal drum, the storage container is connected to the fryer via a pipe connection.
Eine im Vorratsbehälter wirkende Schöpfeinrichtung bildet ein Haufwerk vorbestimmter Menge und fördert diese in das Rohr, welches das Haufwerk in die Fritiertrommel leitet. In der Fritiertrommel wird das Haufwerk in heissem Oel durchbacken und danach aus der Fritiertrommel gefördert.A scooping device acting in the storage container forms a pile of predetermined quantity and conveys it into the tube which guides the pile into the frying drum. The pile is baked in hot oil in the fryer drum and then conveyed out of the fryer drum.
Dazu ist in der Fritiertrommel ein drehender Wender vorgesehen, der an seinem Umfang radial abragende und in gleicher Teilung am Umfang angeordnete Rechen umfasst, die zur Garung ein Haufwerk durch das heisse Bratfett leiten und anschliessend aus der Vorrichtung austragen.For this purpose, a rotating turner is provided in the frying drum, which comprises radially protruding rakes on its periphery and arranged in the same division on the periphery, which guide a pile for cooking through the hot frying fat and then discharge it from the device.
Die Schöpfeinrichtung ist als ein im Querschnitt rechteckiges Schöpfrohr ausgebildet, das in vertikaler Richtung zur Portionenentnahme den Vorratsbehälter mit darin aufgenommen, beispielsweise rohen oder vorgegarten Kartoffelstäbchen (Backgut), durchfährt. An seinem oberen freien Ende weist das Schöpfrohr zwei schwenkbare Klappen auf, die in Richtung auf das Innere des Schöpfrohres in einem Winkel zueinander stehend, letzteres ver- schliessen und in Schliessstellung eine Ablagefläche für eine Portion Backgut bilden. Zur portionierten Befüllung der Fritiertrommel wird das Schöpfrohr mit geschlossenen Klappen im Vorratsbehälter abgesenkt und anschliessend mit geschlossenen Klappen durch das Backgut aufgefahren, wodurch sich eine Portion auf den Klappen ablagert. In der oberen Auffahrstellung öffnen sich die Klappen, das Backgut fällt in das Schöpfrohr, von wo aus es über eine Austragsöffnung in das Rohr geleitet wird, die den Vorratsbehälter mit der Fritiertrommel verbindet. Diese Technik der portionierten Befüllung hat sich hinsichtlich ihrer mechanischen Mittel, wie auch bezüglich kleinstückigen Backgutes bewährt. Wird das Backgut hinsichtlich seiner individuellen Backgutteile, zum Beispiel einem einzelnen Kartoffelstreifen, grös serstückig (Querschnitt, Länge), so ist die beschriebene Technik mit dem Nachteil behaftet, dass die geschöpften Portionen, bezüglich Menge und Gewicht, stark schwankende Werte aufweisen, die mit den beschriebenen Mitteln der Technik nicht auf gleiche oder vergleichbare Werte einstellbar sind.The scoop is designed as a scoop tube with a rectangular cross-section, which, in the vertical direction for the portion removal, passes through the storage container with it, for example raw or pre-cooked potato sticks (baked goods). At its upper free end, the scoop tube has two pivotable flaps which are at an angle to one another in the direction of the interior of the scoop tube, close the latter and form a storage area for a portion of baked goods in the closed position. For portioned filling of the frying drum, the scoop tube is lowered with the flaps closed in the storage container and then opened with the flaps closed through the baked goods, as a result of which a portion is deposited on the flaps. In the upper opening position, the flaps open and the baked goods fall into the scoop pipe, from where they pass over a Discharge opening is passed into the tube that connects the storage container to the fryer. This portioned filling technique has proven itself with regard to its mechanical means, as well as in terms of small-sized baked goods. If the baked goods are larger in size (cross-section, length) with regard to their individual baked goods, for example a single potato strip, the described technique suffers from the disadvantage that the scooped portions, in terms of quantity and weight, have strongly fluctuating values which vary with the described means of technology cannot be set to the same or comparable values.
Hiervon ausgehend ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Vorratsbehälter mit einer Schöpfeinrichtung (folgend gesamthaft Fördereinrichtung genannt) zu schaffen, die gewichts- oder volumenmässig aufeinander folgend gleich grosse Backgut-Portionen abfördert und diese Aufgabe wird für einen Vorratsbehälter mit einer Fördereinrichtung mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst.Proceeding from this, it is an object of the invention to provide a storage container with a scoop (hereinafter referred to collectively as a conveying device) that conveys portions of baked goods of equal size consecutively in terms of weight or volume, and this task is performed for a storage container with a conveying device with the characteristic features of Claim 1 solved.

Die Fritiervorrichtung 10 umfasst eine Fritiertrommel 1 1 und eine Fördereinrichtung 12, die über ein Förderrohr 13 miteinander verbunden sind, d.h. das Förderrohr 13 leitet die von der Fördereinrichtung 12 abgegebenen Portionen der Fritiertrommel 11 zu. Die Fritiertrommel 11 umfasst ein Gehäuse mit darin aufgenommenem flüssigen, erhitzten Garfett, indem sich ein Wender dreht, der die Portionen durch das Garfett fördert, die anschliessend aus dem Gehäuse ausgetragen werden.1 shows a device for floating baking of food and luxury food portions in the form of piles, for example made of bar-shaped potatoes, frying device 10 for short. The fryer 10 comprises a fryer drum 11 and a conveyor 12 which are connected to each other via a conveyor tube 13, i.e. the conveyor tube 13 feeds the portions of the fryer drum 11 discharged from the conveyor device 12. The frying drum 11 comprises a housing with liquid, heated cooking fat accommodated therein, by rotating a turner which conveys the portions through the cooking fat which are subsequently discharged from the housing.
Die Fördereinrichtung 12 umfasst ein Gehäuse 15, indem ein Vorratsbehälter 16 und drehbar ein Förderrad 17 aufgenommen sind. Das Gehäuse ist einseits mit einem Boden 18 fest verschlossen, während die dem Boden 18 gegenüberliegende Seite 19 offen und mit einem abnehmbaren Deckel (nicht gezeigt) verschliessbar ist. Das Gehäuse 15, d.h. der Boden 18 und die Umfangswandung 20 des Gehäuses 15 können so ausgestaltet sein, dass darin Kühleinrichtungen (nicht gezeigt) aufnehmbar sind, die das Backgut 21 gekühlt halten. In diesem Fall ist die Seite 19 mit einem isolierten Deckel verschlossen. Im Gehäuse 15 ist konzentrisch zum Gehäu- se 15 der Vorratsbehälter 16 angeordnet. Der Vorratsbehälter 16 ist ein beidseits offener Rohrkörper, geringerer axialer Erstreckung als die des Innenraumes des Gehäuses 15. An seinem der Seite 19 des Gehäuses 15 zugewandten Ende steht die äussere Oberfläche 22 des Vorratsbehälters 16 mit der inneren Oberfläche 23, der Innenraum 28 des Gehäuses 15 ist zylindrisch ausgebildet, des Gehäuses 15 in Eingriff. Dazu sind über den Umfang der inneren Oberfläche 23 vorzugsweise drei zueinander gleich beabstandete Exzenter 25 vorgesehen, die einends mit der inneren Oberfläche 23 des Gehäuses 15 über eine Exzenterscheibe 26 und anderenends mit der äusseren Oberfläche 22 des Vorratsbehälters 16 über ein Gestänge 27 verbunden sind. Der Vorratsbehälter hängt also von den Gestängen 27 gehalten, frei und konzentrisch in dem Innenraum 28 des Gehäuses 15. Zweck der Exzenter 25 ist, den Vorratsbehälter 16 im Innenraum 28 des Gehäuses 15 axial verschiebbar und zum Boden 18 oder Förderrad 17, vorzugsweise in zwei axialen Verschiebelagen, feststellbar auszugestalten. In Fig. 1 ist der Exzenter 25 in zwei Stellungen gezeigt und je nachdem wie die Exzentrizität der Exzenterscheibe 26 angelegt ist, kann über die Betätigung des Exzenterhebels 29 der Vorratsbehälter 16 im Gehäuse 15 zur Seite 19 angehoben oder in Richtung Boden 18 abgesenkt werden. Der Vorratsbehälter 16 hat einen kleineren, äusseren Durchmesser als der innere Durchmesser des Innenraumes 28, wodurch zwischen Gehäuse 15 und Vorratsbehälter 16 ein Ringraum 30 gebildet ist.The conveyor device 12 comprises a housing 15 in which a storage container 16 and a conveyor wheel 17 are rotatably received. The housing is firmly closed on one side with a base 18, while the side 19 opposite the base 18 is open and can be closed with a removable cover (not shown). The housing 15, that is to say the bottom 18 and the peripheral wall 20 of the housing 15, can be designed such that cooling devices (not shown) can be accommodated therein which keep the baked goods 21 cooled. In this case, page 19 is closed with an insulated cover. In the housing 15 is concentric with the housing 15 of the reservoir 16 is arranged. The storage container 16 is a tubular body which is open on both sides and has a smaller axial extent than that of the interior of the housing 15. At its end facing the side 19 of the housing 15 there is the outer surface 22 of the storage container 16 with the inner surface 23, the interior 28 of the housing 15 is cylindrical, the housing 15 is engaged. For this purpose, preferably three eccentrics 25 are provided which are equally spaced from one another over the circumference of the inner surface 23 and are connected at one end to the inner surface 23 of the housing 15 via an eccentric disk 26 and at the other end to the outer surface 22 of the storage container 16 via a linkage 27. The reservoir is thus held by the rods 27, free and concentric in the interior 28 of the housing 15. The purpose of the eccentric 25 is to axially shift the reservoir 16 in the interior 28 of the housing 15 and to the bottom 18 or feed wheel 17, preferably in two axially Sliding positions, lockable design. In Fig. 1, the eccentric 25 is shown in two positions and depending on how the eccentricity of the eccentric disk 26 is applied, the reservoir 16 in the housing 15 can be raised to the side 19 or lowered towards the bottom 18 by actuating the eccentric lever 29. The reservoir 16 has a smaller, outer diameter than the inner diameter of the interior 28, as a result of which an annular space 30 is formed between the housing 15 and the reservoir 16.
In senkrechter Richtung, axial und konzentrisch, wird der Vorratsbehälter 16 drehbar durchgriffen von einer Welle 32, die einends am Boden 18, letzteren durchlaufend, vermittels einer Lagerbuchse 33 und anderenends in einer Abstützung 34, die ihrerseits an der inneren Oberfläche 23 des Gehäuses 15 angelenkt ist. Mit dieser Welle 32 in Eingriff steht das Förderrad 17. Das Förderrad 17 umfasst eine die Welle 32 umschliessende Hülse 36, grösseren Durchmessers als die Welle 32, die gleichgerichtet zur Welle 32 vom Boden 18 bis in die Nähe der Abstützung 34 verläuft. Über Lochscheiben 37 steht die Hülse 36 mit der Welle 32 in Eingriff. An die Hülse 36 angelenkt ist das Förderrad 17, bestehend aus Förderkegel 38 und Schieberad 39, wobei der Förderkegel 38 an die Hülse 36 angelenkt ist und das Schieberad 39 über Anschläge 40 mit der Hülse 36 in Eingriff steht. Bei Drehung der Welle 32, angetrieben durch den Elektromotor 41 , drehen sich mit der Welle 32, die Hülse 36, das Schieberad 39 und der Förderkegel 38. Der Förderkegel 38 ist ein von der Hülse 36 durchgriffener gerader Kreiskegel, dessen Grundkreis einen etwas grösseren Durchmesser (ca. 5 bis 10%) aufweist, als der des rohrförmigen Vorratsbehälters 16. Fig. 1 zeigt den Vorratsbehälter 16 in aufgefahrener Stellung, zwischen Mantelfläche 43 des Förderkegels 35 und der offenen Grundfläche des Vorratsbehälters 16 entsteht so ein Ringspalt 44 - begrenzt durch die Mantelfläche 43 des Förderkegels 38 und der äusseren Oberfläche 22 des Vorratsbehälters 16 - durch den Backgut 21 aus dem Vorratsbehälter 16 in den Ringraum 30 gelangt. Wird der Vorratsbehälter 16 durch Verstellen des Exzenter 25 abgesenkt, dann liegt die Umfangswandung des Vorratsbehälters 16 auf der Mantelfläche 43 des in den Vorratsbehälter 16 hineinragenden Förderkegels 38 auf und der Ringspalt 44 ist geschlossen. Der Ringspalt 44 wird geschlossen, wenn bei Stillstand der Welle 32 der Vorratsbehälter 16 mit Backgut 21 befüllt wird, um ein Abgleiten des Backgutes 21 während des Füllvorganges in den Ringraum 30 zu verhindern. Auf der Mantelfläche 43 des Förderkegels 38 können auf der Mantelfläche 38 radial verlaufende und von der Mantelfläche abstehende Rippen 45, vorzugsweise drei Rippen 45, vorgesehen sein, deren Aufgabe ist, auf der Mantelfläche 43 aufliegendes Backgut 21 während der Drehung des Förderrades 17 aufzulockern. Zwischen Boden 18 und Grundfläche des Förderkegels 38 ist das mit dem Förderkegel 38 umlaufende, zum Boden 18 beabstandet, angeordnete Schieberad 39 angeordnet. Das Schieberad 39 weist einen einseitig zur Grundfläche des Förderkegels 38 offenen, zylindrischen Radkörper 46 auf, von dessen Umfangsfläche radial abragende, über die Umfangsfläche gleichbe- abstandet, angeordnete Schieber 47 in den Ringraum 30 greifen. Der Durchmesser des zylindrischen Radkörpers 46 entspricht dem der Grundfläche des Förderkegels 38, so dass Backgut 21 von der Mantelfläche 43 zwischen die Schieber 47 abgleitet und auf diese Weise die Räume zwischen den Schiebern 47 gefüllt gehalten sind. Die Schieber 47 bewegen das Backgut 21 im Ringraum 30 bis es eine Austragsöffnung 48 überfährt, an die das Förderrohr 13 angeschlossen ist und in welches das Backgut 21 in vorbestimmter Menge, d.h. portioniert, abfällt. Die Portionierung von Backgut 21 wird vermittels einer Waage 50 erreicht, die ihrerseits über den Elektromotor 41 die Dauer der Drehung des Förderrades 17 und damit die Austragsmenge des Backgutes 21 aus der Austragsöffnung 48 bestimmt. Ist die Fritiertrommel 1 1 mit Backgut 21 zu beschicken, läuft der Elektromotor 41 an und dreht das Förderrad 17 unter Ausstoss von Backgut 21 aus der Austragsöffnung 48 und die im Förderrohr 13 integrierte Waage 50 überlaufend, solange bis die Waage 50 das voreingestellte Portionengewicht gemessen hat und dem Motor 50 ein Signal zur Einstellung der Drehung er- teilt, wodurch der Ausstoss von Backgut aus der Austragsöffnung 48 zum Stillstand kommt. In the vertical direction, axially and concentrically, the storage container 16 is rotatably passed through by a shaft 32, which at one end on the bottom 18, the latter passing through, by means of a bearing bush 33 and at the other end in a support 34, which in turn is articulated on the inner surface 23 of the housing 15. The feed wheel 17 is in engagement with this shaft 32. The feed wheel 17 comprises a sleeve 36 which surrounds the shaft 32 and has a larger diameter than the shaft 32, which extends in the same direction as the shaft 32 from the bottom 18 to the vicinity of the support 34. The sleeve 36 engages with the shaft 32 via perforated disks 37. Articulated to the sleeve 36 is the feed wheel 17, consisting of the conveying cone 38 and the sliding wheel 39, the conveying cone 38 being hinged to the sleeve 36 and the sliding wheel 39 engaging with the sleeve 36 via stops 40. When the shaft 32 rotates, driven by the electric motor 41, the shaft 32, the sleeve 36, the sliding wheel 39 and the conveying cone 38 rotate. The conveying cone 38 is a straight circular cone penetrated by the sleeve 36, the base circle of which is somewhat larger in diameter (about 5 to 10%) than that of the tubular storage container 16. FIG. 1 shows the storage container 16 in the open position, between the outer surface 43 of the conveying cone 35 and the open base surface of the storage container 16, an annular gap 44 is thus formed - limited by the Shell surface 43 of the conveying cone 38 and the outer surface 22 of the storage container 16 - through the baked goods 21 from the storage container 16 into the annular space 30. If the storage container 16 is lowered by adjusting the eccentric 25, then the peripheral wall of the storage container 16 lies on the lateral surface 43 of the conveying cone 38 projecting into the storage container 16 and the annular gap 44 is closed. The annular gap 44 is closed when, when the shaft 32 is at a standstill, the storage container 16 is filled with baked goods 21 in order to prevent the baked goods 21 from sliding off during the filling process to prevent the annulus 30. On the lateral surface 43 of the conveying cone 38, radially extending and protruding ribs 45, preferably three ribs 45, can be provided on the lateral surface 38, the function of which is to loosen the baked goods 21 resting on the lateral surface 43 during the rotation of the conveyor wheel 17. Between the bottom 18 and the base of the conveying cone 38, the sliding wheel 39, which is arranged around the conveying cone 38 and is spaced apart from the bottom 18, is arranged. The sliding wheel 39 has a cylindrical wheel body 46 which is open on one side to the base of the conveying cone 38 and from the circumferential surface of which radially projecting sliders 47, which are equally spaced over the circumferential surface, engage in the annular space 30. The diameter of the cylindrical wheel body 46 corresponds to that of the base area of the conveying cone 38, so that the baked goods 21 slide from the lateral surface 43 between the slides 47 and in this way the spaces between the slides 47 are kept filled. The slides 47 move the baked goods 21 in the annular space 30 until it passes over a discharge opening 48 to which the conveying pipe 13 is connected and into which the baked goods 21 drop in a predetermined amount, ie in portions. The portioning of the baked goods 21 is achieved by means of a balance 50 which, in turn, determines the duration of the rotation of the feed wheel 17 and thus the discharge amount of the baked goods 21 from the discharge opening 48 via the electric motor 41. If the frying drum 1 1 is to be charged with baked goods 21, the electric motor 41 starts and rotates the delivery wheel 17 while expelling baked goods 21 from the discharge opening 48 and overflows the scale 50 integrated in the delivery pipe 13 until the scale 50 has measured the preset portion weight and the motor 50 receives a signal for adjusting the rotation divides, whereby the discharge of baked goods from the discharge opening 48 comes to a standstill.
