Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device capable of preventing staining of a floor, window glass, walls and furniture caused by oil mist, preventing a risk of burns and fires, and retaining appropriate oil temperature. <P>SOLUTION: In the device, an oil pan is disposed inside a cabinet shielded from outside air, and a foodstuff placed on a grill is automatically put into oil. When the foodstuff is completely deep-fried, the fried foodstuff is automatically taken out. The oil is heated by a heater, and the temperature of the oil and the frying time can be set. As the foodstuff can be deep-fried always in the same state without failing, the device is adequate to be used in a restaurant or a diner. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

TECHNICAL FIELD The invention relates to a cooking device for automatically fried foods.

(Conventional technology)
Conventionally, in order to fry food, it was necessary to repeat the work of putting oil in a frying pan and the like, putting the food to be fried in heated oil, and taking it out while watching, and not doing everything automatically.

(Problems to be solved by the invention)
When fried foods such as tempura and fries, oil mist scatters, and even if a hood is installed on the gas oven, the kitchen floor may slide, glass windows, walls, or furniture may become dirty. However, many people hate to fry. For this reason, although fried foods are sold at supermarkets and the like, even if they are heated in a microwave oven, they do not reach the taste of freshly fried food, and the ingredients sold are limited. Tempura is not so easy to fry at a suitable temperature with a limited amount of oil, and whether or not it flies well depends solely on the temperature of the oil and the frying time. If the temperature is not appropriate, it becomes a wet tempura containing a large amount of oil, which is not preferable for health. Also, if the temperature gets too high, the oil will soon oxidize and become unusable. In addition, there is a risk of fire if not watched over, the oil may burn and cause burns, and some people may “drunk” with oil mist. Also, you need to prepare a wire mesh, newspaper, etc. to cut the oil, and when fried for a long time, sometimes you have to squeeze it with a wire mesh to avoid sticking tencus, and use the frying pan for another dish Therefore, in a family that has only one frying pan, it is a burden for cooks to wait for the oil to cease and transfer after the fried food is finished. Such a problem can be solved all at once by using a fried food automatic machine that does not scatter oil mist. In other words, unlike other dishes, fried foods need to use a certain device.

(Problem solving problems)
In order to make it a device that can be used at home, it must be inexpensive to manufacture, requires no maintenance, and can be used safely.

(Embodiment of the Invention)
The principle of the present invention is quite simple. That is, a container in which oil is put in a box-shaped cabinet that can shield the outside air is placed, the oil is heated by an electric heater and fried, and the generated oil mist is merely removed through a filter. The principle and method of use of the apparatus will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The device has a box (1) with a door (2) on the front, an oil pan (3) accommodated in the box, a grill (4) for fried food, and a grille holding the grill (4). The frame (5), two screw pillars (6) that are supported by bearings (7) at the top and bottom and can move the grill (4) up and down, and four round pillars (guides for the movement of the grill (4)) 8) The structure is based on a gear (9) for transmitting the rotational force of the motor (10) to the screw column (6) and a filter (11) for removing mist. A round nut (12) screwed into a screw column (6) is attached to the grill frame (5), and the grill frame (5) has a short cylindrical part (so that it can slide on the round column ( 13). The oil placed in the oil pan is heated by an electric heater (14), and its temperature is automatically controlled.

In use, for example, a wheat dough and breaded shrimp (not shown) are placed on the grill and the device is turned on. When the oil is heated by the heater and reaches a preset temperature, the motor starts and the screw column rotates, so that the grille frame faces downward by the nut attached to the screw column. When the grill is lowered and the shrimp enters the oil, the screw column stops rotating. When the set time has elapsed, the motor starts reversing and the grill rises and stops when it reaches the original position, so the cook opens the door and takes out the fried shrimp fried. If you only need to fry it once, just put the shrimp on the grill and you can keep warm for a while, such as in winter.

FIG. 2 shows an oil pan from which the tencus can be removed. That is, a bypass passage (15) having a depth of about one third of that of the oil pan (3) is attached to the oil pan (3), and the rising portion (17) protruding from the oil surface is inserted into the bypass passage (15). ) Sinks the wire mesh (16), and rotates the screw (19) driven by the small motor (18) to draw oil from the narrow notch (20), so that the floating tencus is 15) and is caught by the rising portion (17) of the wire mesh. When the tencus is accumulated, the net is raised and the tencus is removed. The stirrer consisting of this motor and screw may be the simplest if the screw is tilted downward and the screw shaft can be moved up and down.

If this device is completely sealed, the pressure inside the device increases and it is dangerous, so it must be evacuated. This is because the heated air inside is exhausted to the outside through a replaceable exhaust filter (11). Also, a filter is attached below the side wall, which is to prevent outside air from being blown by hot air when the outside air is taken in to some extent and the door is opened. Also, when you are finished using it, spread the folded lid (not shown in the figure) immediately to cover the oil pan and limit the contact with air as much as possible to prevent oil oxidation. This saves you the trouble of transferring troublesome oils, and you can start immediately when you fry it next time.

This device uses a control device that can set the temperature and frying time of the oil according to the ingredients and their size, so there is no loss of frying, and it will always be fried in the same state, so a cafeteria, restaurant, etc. Also suitable for use in. Stores that produce a large amount of deep-fried food can save a lot of labor by introducing a large device, and even stores that have not handled deep-fried food can now add deep-fried food to the menu without requiring skills. It is also possible to provide equipment in supermarkets and convenience stores, etc., and provide fried shrimp fries when ordered by customers.
