Abstract

The hopper is defined by a vessel having an upper loading opening and a lower unloading opening, the bottom of the vessel being determined by walls converging towards the dispensing opening which has the form of a trough 3 in which is mounted an Archimedean screw 4 receiving the product in pieces by means of gravity. The hopper comprises at least one pair of discs 6 mounted rotatably on either side of the Archimedean screw 4 against the inner faces of the walls 2 of the vessel converging towards the trough 3, the said discs 6 having notches 8 adapted to mesh with the threads of the Archimedean screw 4 so that the rotation of the Archimedean screw 4 drives the rotation of the discs 6. Applications: inter alia, supplying an industrial deep-fat fryer.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet une trémie pour a distribution de produits en morceaux, tels que des frites, ladite trémie étant définie par une cuve ayant une ouverture supérieure de chargement et une ouverture inférieure de déchargement, le fond de la cuve étant déterminé par des parois convergeant vers l'ouverture de distribution qui se présente sous la forme d'une goulotte dans laquelle est montée une vis d'Archimède recevant, par gravité, le produit en morceaux. The present invention relates to a hopper for the distribution of pieces of products, such as French fries, said hopper being defined by a tank having an upper loading opening and a lower unloading opening, the bottom of the tank being determined by walls converging towards the dispensing opening which is in the form of a chute in which is mounted an Archimedes screw receiving, by gravity, the product in pieces.

Une telle trémie trouve son application, par exemple dans la friteuse industrielle objet du brevet français nO 2 501 491 du Demandeur. Such a hopper finds its application, for example in the industrial fryer which is the subject of French Patent No. 2,501,491 to the Applicant.

Lorsque des produits en morceaux, tels que des frites, sont distribués à l'aide d'une trémie du type précité, il peut arriver que les morceaux, s'ils sont suffisamment longs, s'entremêlent en formant une voûte fixe au-dessus de la vis d'Archimède et il s'ensuit que la distribution est interrompue. When products in pieces, such as fries, are distributed using a hopper of the aforementioned type, it may happen that the pieces, if they are long enough, become entangled forming a fixed arch above Archimedes' screw and it follows that the distribution is interrupted.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier à cet inconvénient et, à cette fin, la trémie selon l'invention, comporte au moins une paire de disques montés rotatifs de part et d'autre de la vis d'Archimède, contre les faces internes des parois de la cuve qui convergent vers la goulotte, lesdits disques présentant des échancrures adaptés à engrener avec les filets de la vis d'Archimède, de sorte que la rotation de la vis d'Archimède entraine la rotation des disques. The object of the present invention is to remedy this drawback and, to this end, the hopper according to the invention comprises at least one pair of discs mounted to rotate on either side of the Archimedes screw, against the internal faces. walls of the tank which converge towards the chute, said disks having notches adapted to mesh with the threads of the Archimedes screw, so that the rotation of the Archimedes screw causes the disks to rotate.

On comprend que, de cette manière, au voisinage de l'ouverture de distribution, les produits en morceaux sont brassés le long des parois convergentes de la cuve, ce qui évite la formation d'une voûte de produits. It is understood that, in this way, in the vicinity of the dispensing opening, the products in pieces are brewed along the converging walls of the tank, which prevents the formation of a vault of products.

Les disques étant entraînés par la vis d'Archimède elle-même, il n'est pas besoin de prévoir de moyens moteurs supplémentaires pour obtenir.ce brassage. The discs being driven by the Archimedes screw itself, there is no need to provide additional motor means to obtain this mixing.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description ci-après faîte en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels
- la figure 1 est une vue en coupe verticale de la trémie selon l'invention, et
- la figure 2 est une vue de dessus de ladite trémie.
The invention will be better understood on reading the description below made with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
FIG. 1 is a view in vertical section of the hopper according to the invention, and
- Figure 2 is a top view of said hopper.

Si l'on se réfère à la figure 1, on voit que la trémie est constituée d'une cuve ayant des parois latérales 1 verticales et des parois de fond 2 convergeant vers une goulotte 3 dans laquelle est logée une vis d'Archimède 4 entrainée en rotation par son axe 5. Sur les parois convergentes 2 sont montées rotatifs deux disques 6 échancrés, comme on le voit mieux à la figure 2. If we refer to Figure 1, we see that the hopper consists of a tank having vertical side walls 1 and bottom walls 2 converging towards a chute 3 in which is housed an Archimedes screw 4 driven in rotation by its axis 5. On the converging walls 2 are rotatably mounted two scalloped discs 6, as can be seen better in FIG. 2.

Ces disques 6 présentent chacun une série d'échancrures 8 dont la répartition périphérique -correspond au pas de la vis d'Archimède. La disposition relative des disques 6 et de la vis d'Archimède est telle que les filets de la vis d'Archimède sont capables d'engrèner avec les échancrures 8 des disques 6, de sorte que lorsque la vis d'Archimède 4 tourne, les disques 6 tournent également. These discs 6 each have a series of notches 8, the peripheral distribution of which corresponds to the pitch of the Archimedes screw. The relative arrangement of the discs 6 and the Archimedes screw is such that the threads of the Archimedes screw are capable of meshing with the notches 8 of the discs 6, so that when the Archimedes screw 4 rotates, the discs 6 also rotate.

Si l'on revient à la figure 1, on comprend que le produit en morceaux contenu dans la cuve repose sur les disques 6 qui tournent lorsque la vis 4 tourne. Par suite, il se produit sur toute la hauteur de la cuve affectée par les disques un brassage du produit qui est suffisant pour éviter la formation d'une voûte au-dessus de ladite vis mais insuffisant pour endommager le produit contenu dans la trémie ou pour soumettre la vis d'Archimède à des efforts inacceptables. Returning to FIG. 1, it is understood that the product in pieces contained in the tank rests on the discs 6 which rotate when the screw 4 rotates. As a result, there occurs over the entire height of the tank affected by the discs a mixing of the product which is sufficient to avoid the formation of a vault above said screw but insufficient to damage the product contained in the hopper or for subject the Archimedes' screw to unacceptable efforts.

Les disques permettent d'obtenir une qualité de distribution qui ne pourrait être obtenue, et encore, qu'avec une cuve dont les parois de fond soient très pentues (de l'ordre de 450). Il s'ensuit que, pour un même encombrement en hauteur, l'utilisation des disques échancrés selon l'invention permet de donner aux parois de fond une pente très douce, ce qui augmente la capacité de la cuve.  The discs make it possible to obtain a quality of distribution which could not be obtained, and again, only with a tank whose bottom walls are very sloping (of the order of 450). It follows that, for the same overall height, the use of the notched discs according to the invention makes it possible to give the bottom walls a very gentle slope, which increases the capacity of the tank.
