Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dispenser for bulk feeding frying machines through the product stored therein, as well as for feeding smaller amounts for the preparation of individual portions.
  • Patent application WO 2014/167158 A1 describes an automatic fried-product vending machine which solves the preceding problem.
  • this machine can only fry the product or products contained in the hopper, kept frozen therein, but if a product that is not in the hopper is to be fried, said product must be added to the mentioned hopper and the entire bulk product contained beforehand in the hopper must be fried until the added new product is cooked. This entails loss of the already fried bulk product which is not expected to be consumed, wastage of all fryer components and additional electricity and time consumption.
  • the present invention proposes a solution to the preceding problems by means of a dispenser for feeding frying machines according to claim 1 and a frying machine according to claim 15.
  • Preferred embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.
  • the invention provides a dispenser for feeding frying machines comprising,
  • driving means are an element which allows transmitting a movement or energy to another element, for example, a motor, a pulley, bearings, gears, or a combination thereof.
  • the worm screw is configured for metering the product stored in the hopper.
  • the worm screw comprises a series of protuberances along its axial axis, so when the screw rotates about said axial axis the protuberances drag the product stored inside the hopper.
  • the protuberances can have different configurations depending on the size and shape of the products to be fried.
  • the protuberances are located at a ratio of 8 to 12 protuberances per turn with a turn pitch between 100 and 110 mm.
  • the position of the protuberances increases the precision when dispensing the product due to the fact that the position of the protuberances prevents the product stored in the hopper from sticking to another product also stored in said hopper.
  • the cover and the gate are located on the opposing side of the hopper with respect to the opening of the hopper and/or to the discharge area of the hopper.
  • the gate is part of the cover of the hopper.
  • the gate and the cover are individual elements located contiguously on the opposing side of the hopper with respect to the discharge area of the hopper.
  • the cover is configured for keeping the inside of the hopper closed.
  • the cover allows protecting the product against external agents which can degrade the quality of the product to be dispensed.
  • the cover blocks any employee from accessing the inside thereof, preventing possible occupational accidents in the event that the first driving means were activated, which would mean that the worm screw were rotating inside the hopper.
  • control means refer to a device which is configured for receiving inputs from the different elements making up the dispenser for feeding frying machines.
  • the inputs can be mechanical inputs, such as a limit switch, and/or electrical inputs, such as an analog or digital signal from sensing means or an information input device.
  • the information input device can be a keyboard and/or a touch screen, etc. Said information input device allows the user to configure the various parameters of each element making up the dispenser for feeding frying machines, for example, the rotating speed of the worm screw.
  • control means will comprise all the wiring required for being connected to the different elements making up the dispenser for feeding frying machines.
  • An example of control means can be a microcontroller or a microprocessor with the associated electronic circuit.
  • control means are configured for generating a response and/or an operating command depending on the inputs received, as indicated in the first inventive aspect.
  • the gate allows removing surplus product from the discharge area of the hopper and introducing a portion of a product to be dispensed.
  • the dispenser for feeding frying machines of the present invention allows dispensing individual portions other than those stored in the hopper and increasing safety during use as it blocks the first driving means if the cover is open.
  • the gate comprises gate sensing means configured for establishing an open or closed state of the gate.
  • the control means are configured for activating the first driving means for a specific time instant.
  • the worm screw rotates in a direction allowing the protuberances to drag the content from the discharge area of the hopper into the hopper.
  • control means detect that the gate is in the open state, they activate the first driving means for a specific time instant, for example 5 seconds, such that the worm screw rotates in the counterclockwise direction for 5 seconds, which allows reintroducing the product existing in the discharge area of the hopper into the hopper.
  • this embodiment eliminates the need of using an operator to empty the discharge area of the hopper, reducing the risk of accidents.
  • the control means are configured for deactivating the first driving means and blocking the rotation of the worm screw when the control means detect the open state of the gate through the gate sensing means. Since the screw is blocked, this embodiment advantageously makes it safer for the operator to remove the product in the discharge area. This embodiment is compatible with the preceding embodiment as it advantageously allows removing possible remainder products which have not been removed by the rotation of the worm screw.
  • the gate sensing means are configured for establishing a "state" with respect to the position of the gate in the hopper and are furthermore connected to the control means.
  • the sensing means establish:
  • control means are therefore configured for:
  • the dispenser for feeding frying machines prevents the stocked bulk product from mixing with the product that is directly introduced through the gate. Furthermore, these embodiments increase the efficiency in distributing the product to be dispensed, particularly, in providing the desired product to the frying machine according to user's needs, minimizing losses of the product stored in the hopper.
  • the dispenser comprises a double trapdoor system connected to the control means, configured for being coupled in the discharge area of the dispenser for feeding frying machines, wherein the double trapdoor system comprises,
  • the double trapdoor system has coupling means which allow coupling to the opening of the hopper and/or to the discharge area of the dispenser.
  • the coupling means are at least one protuberance configured for being secured to the discharge area of the hopper.

  • the double trapdoor system allows isolating the discharge area of the dispenser for feeding frying machines from the outside, isolating the product located inside the hopper from possible odors or vapours that may affect the quality of the product to be dispensed.
  • one of the ends of the worm screw has a free area of protuberances, said free area being located in the part of the discharge area.
  • the gate is located in the area opposite the opening of the hopper and/or the discharge area, therefore, this embodiment advantageously makes it safer for the operator to introduce the product through the gate.
  • the worm screw is an extendable worm screw. This means that the screw is configured at one of its ends or at both ends for modifying its final length.
  • the extendable worm screw comprises two rods of different diameters.
  • the first rod comprises a diameter greater than the second rod.
  • the first rod is partially hollow at one of its ends and is configured for receiving the second rod.
  • the second rod is configured for being connected to the first driving means and for transmitting the torque generated by said first driving means on the first rod and thereby rotating the extendable worm screw.
  • the second rod has a pin and the first rod has a T-shaped cavity configured for receiving said pin. The pin and cavity allow establishing two positions for fixing both rods, giving rise to an extended position and to another retracted position.
  • the pin In the extended position, the pin is housed in the longer lower end of the T-shaped cavity of the first rod, such that the length of the worm screw is the larger one of the two possible lengths.
  • the pin In the retracted position, the pin is housed in one of the two branches of the T-shaped cavity of the first rod, such that the length of the worm screw is the smaller one of the two possible lengths.
  • a T-shaped cavity at the longer lower end is the base of the T and the two branches are the upper ends of the letter T.
  • the extendable worm screw additionally comprises a spring.
  • the first rod is configured for receiving the second rod and the spring in the hollow end of said first rod. Therefore, if an operator applies pressure on the second rod, said second rod compresses the spring, thereby changing the length of the worm screw, i.e., when the spring is completely compressed, the worm screw is in the retracted position and the second rod is inside the first rod. In this position, the pin of the second rod would be configured for being housed in one of the two branches of the T-shaped cavity of the first rod.
  • the worm screw when the force applied on the spring is smaller, the worm screw is in the extended position, the second rod projecting from the first rod. In this position, the pin of the second rod would be configured for being housed in the longer lower end of the T-shaped cavity of the first rod.
  • the spring maintains, by default, the more extended position of the shaft having a smaller diameter.
  • the pin allows maintaining the position with a smaller length to allow taking out the worm screw to make it easier to clean the worm screw and the hopper.
  • the worm screw To reassemble the worm screw, the worm screw must be coupled to the hopper and then the blocking device must be uncoupled from the spring. This causes the spring to push the shaft to maximum length, automatically fixing the pin in the first cavity of the first rod, being arranged perfectly in the hopper for use thereof.
  • the extendable worm screw reduces the time required for disassembling said screw in the dispenser for feeding frying machines.
  • this embodiment makes it easier to assemble and disassemble the worm screw for cleaning, reducing the time required to perform dispenser maintenance.
  • the extendable area of the extendable worm screw is the free area of protuberances.
  • the dispenser for feeding frying machines comprises at least one load cell connected to the control means, the control means are configured for detecting, while the first driving means are activated, if the weight of the content of the hopper drops by an amount equal to or greater than a first determined weight, in which case the control means deactivate the first driving means.
  • this embodiment allows the product dispensed by the dispenser for feeding frying machines to have the same weight individually and prevents an operator from having to dedicate themselves exclusively to controlling the product to be dispensed, increasing dispenser efficiency and productivity. Additionally, this particular embodiment improves the precision of dispensing the product to be dispensed.
  • the hopper is a refrigerated hopper.
  • the hopper can be refrigerated at different temperature ranges which allow suitably preserving the product. For example, if the product stored in the hopper is frozen, the hopper keeps the product frozen therein as a result of said refrigeration.
  • this embodiment allows keeping the properties of the product intact while the product is stored in the hopper.
  • the protuberances located in the worm screw form a helix. This means that the protuberances of the worm screw are located around the axis of the screw, forming a spiral.
  • the cover comprises cover sensing means configured for establishing the open or closed state of the cover, and is connected to the control means, wherein the control means are configured for allowing the activation of the first driving means when the control means detect the closed state of the cover. Therefore, when the hopper is coupled and connected to the frying machine for which said hopper is provided and configured, the control means will put the first driving means in a situation ready to be activated as mentioned, and activate said first driving means when the operator indicates to the control means that there is a need to prepare a portion.
  • this embodiment makes the dispenser safer as it prevents the operation of the worm screw when the cover is in the open state. This reduces the risk of accident happening on an operator who is refilling the hopper with a product to be dispensed.
