[0020]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
1. FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a conveyor-type continuous frying apparatus according to the present invention.
[0021]
According to the present invention, an object to be heated (not shown) such as food is cooked in a state of being placed in the metal basket 3 during cooking. The basket 3 containing the ingredients is first put into an oil tank 7 containing oil between any of the aprons 5 and the aprons 5 '(in the direction of arrow A in the figure). The distance between the apron 5 and the apron 5 'and the distance between the rim 8 and the rim 8' of the oil tank are slightly larger than the width 3 'and the length 3''of the basket. At the time of insertion, the extension projection 32 at the upper edge of the basket is supported by the connection chain 9, and the grip 35 and the hook 37 (shown well in FIG. 2) are hooked and supported by the edge 8 on the near side of the oil tank. The basket does not sink deep into the oil tank.
[0022]
Each apron 5 is fixed to a part of the connecting chain 9 at both ends thereof, and moves in the direction of arrow B in the figure by rotation of the connecting chain 9. As a result, the basket 3 is also moved by the apron 5 in the direction indicated by the arrow B. After each apron 5 moves in the oil tank 7 by a predetermined distance, it is pulled up from the oil tank 7 along the upper inclined surface 10 located on the downstream side in the apron movement direction B, while the basket 3 The operation, and more specifically, the apron that is located particularly on the upstream side in the apron movement direction B is lifted from the oil tank 7 by the lifting operation. Although it is not clear from the drawing, each apron 5 pulled up from the oil tank 7 is returned to the food input side again through the lower side of the bottom of the oil tank 7 with the movement of the connecting chain 9. It is.
[0023]
The pulled-up basket 3 leaves the apron 5 near the top of the inclined surface 10 and then slides down along the slide 11 provided downward from near the top. A tray 13 is arranged near the exit of the slide 11, and the basket 3 that has slipped down is collected here.
[0024]
Thereafter, the ingredients are taken out of the basket 3 of the receiving tray 13, and the cooking is completed. The used basket 3 is returned to the loading side again, and the same processing as above is repeated with new ingredients. Obviously, by using a plurality of baskets 3, it is possible to work continuously.
[0025]
2. Configuration of Basket FIG. 2 shows an enlarged perspective view of the basket. Here, FIG. 2A shows a state in which the lid 31 of the basket 3 is closed, and FIG. 2B shows a state in which the lid 31 is opened.
[0026]
The basket 3 includes a mesh-shaped main body 33 with a lid 31, a grip 35, and a hook 37. The grip 35 includes an upper portion 35 a extending upward from one end of the main body 33 and an outer portion 35 b substantially orthogonal to the upper portion 35 a and extending in the outer direction of the main body 33. Note that the lid 31 may be provided with a knob 39 for facilitating opening and closing. The hook 37 extends from a substantially intermediate position between the upper portion 35a and the outer portion 35b of the grip portion 35 in the same direction as the outer portion 35b, and is bent so as to return to the main body side to have a U-shape. As is apparent, the U-shaped hook 37 and the grip 35 extend in the same direction with respect to the main body 33.
[0027]
By using such a basket 3, it is possible to collectively process small foods and to remove the foods from the apron 5 without fail. Further, a plurality of types of foods can be fried together for one person.
[0028]
The basket lid 31 prevents the ingredients from falling from the basket 3 and prevents the ingredients in the basket 3 from floating from the oil tank when it is thrown into the oil tank 7 (see FIG. 1). There is also work. The lid 31 is provided so as to close at a position slightly deeper than the upper edge 34 of the opening / closing portion of the main body 33, and is designed so that the food in the basket 3 is completely immersed in the oil in the oil tank. The upper edge 34 of the opening / closing portion is formed in a protruding shape including the front end 32 and extending to the outside.
[0029]
3. Basket Return Function Returning to FIG. 1 again, the basket return function will be described. The basket return function is a function of returning the used basket 3 from the take-out side (A) to the loading side (A). In addition, the basket return function (A) is a natural-side take-out side without using any special force. It is a function that can be returned to the input side (a) from.
[0030]
To realize this function, the above-described U-shaped hook 37 of the basket 3 is used. Further, an inclined bar 15 provided along the conveyor type continuous frying device 1 corresponding to the U-shaped hook 37 is used.
[0031]
Both ends 15a and 15b of the inclined bar 15 are fixed to, for example, a wall 17 along the conveyor-type continuous frying device 1. Of course, this wall 17 may be the wall of the fryer itself. In particular, the central portion of the inclined bar 15 is inclined downward from the food take-out side (a) to the feeding side (a). An appropriate inclination angle 20 is, for example, about 30 degrees.
[0032]
After the cooking is completed, the U-shaped hook 37 of the basket 3 is hooked near the center of the inclined bar 15. Since the unloading side (a) is positioned higher than the loading side (a), the basket 3 naturally slides in the loading side (a) without using any special force, that is, slides in the direction of arrow C in the figure. Go. Thus, the used basket 3 can be returned from the take-out side to the loading side. In the fryer of the present invention, since the basket 3 is slippery with oil, such a configuration is particularly effective.
[0033]
It should be noted that when the basket 3 is hooked on the inclined rod 15, the basket main body 33 is placed on the lower side and the basket grip 35 is placed on the upper side as shown in FIG. With such an arrangement, it is possible to prevent the grip portion 35 from being excessively stained by oil dripping from the main body 33.
[0034]
Further, since the inclined rod 15 is disposed just above the oil tank 7 along the moving direction of the basket 3, the oil dripping from the basket 3 sliding on the inclined rod 15 is just returned to the oil tank 7. become.
[0035]
4. In the above embodiments, the basket return function of the present invention is described as being achieved by using an inclined bar.However, for example, an inclined portion such as an inclined surface is provided instead of the inclined bar, and a basket is provided on the inclined portion. It may be arranged and returned from the take-out side to the input side. In particular, when an inclined surface is provided, the U-shaped hook 37 of the basket becomes unnecessary.
[0036]
Further, the basket 3 is not limited to metal and may be made of, for example, heat-resistant glass or plastic. In the above embodiment, the basket 3 is supported by the connecting chain 9 and the edge 8 of the oil tank. However, the basket 3 sinks in the oil only when the food is put, and floats in the oil when the food is not put. If the basket is made of material, it is not necessary to support the basket. The basket does not necessarily need to be supported by both the connecting chain 9 and the edge 8 of the oil tank, and may be supported only by the edge 8 of the oil tank in front. Furthermore, if the distance between the aprons is made slightly smaller than the width of the basket, the basket can be supported by being locked between the aprons.
[0037]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, the object to be heated can be heated by being put in a container such as a basket. Therefore, even if the object to be heated is small, and even if there are a plurality of objects to be heated, their handling is easy. . In addition, since the container can be easily returned from the take-out side of the object to be heated to the charging side, the working efficiency can be improved.
