Description

  The present invention is an improvement of an oil container used for a fryer, more specifically, even a fried oil in a relatively high temperature state due to residual heat can be quickly and safely transferred, and the oil at the edge at the time of transfer The present invention relates to a fryer oil container capable of preventing sagging.

  As is well known, in kitchens such as restaurants and food processing factories, fryer is used as a commercial utensil for cooking fried food, and the oil in the fryer oil tank gradually becomes dirty as cooking continues. Therefore, after the oil tank is once extracted from the oil tank into a predetermined oil container (so-called “oil can”), the oil tank is cleaned and then returned to the oil tank.

  In such a conventional oil transfer operation, the oil was returned to the oil tank by manually lifting the oil-filled container and turning it over, but the container was a cylindrical or square bottomed container. When transferring the oil, there was a problem that the oil drips on the edge of the container due to the viscosity of the oil, and the dripping oil was sticky, and it was very troublesome to wipe off cleanly .

  In addition, when the temperature of the oil decreases, the viscosity increases and the fluidity deteriorates and the oil tends to sag more. Therefore, in order to obtain good workability, it is necessary to transfer the oil while it is relatively hot due to residual heat. Therefore, worker safety is also required.

  Therefore, conventionally, a mechanical device has been developed that can transfer oil by filtering and circulating the oil by a pump without directly lifting the oil container (see, for example, Patent Document 1). .

  However, in order to introduce such a device, there is a problem in that the purchase cost is high and the oil is clogged in the hose and the like, which may cause the machine to malfunction and the maintenance is costly.

In addition, when producing in a relatively small lot, the amount of oil in the fryer is not so small that it can be transferred manually, and a simple and inexpensive device is sufficient.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The present invention is a container that can contain oil A discharged from the oil tank T in the fryer F having the oil tank T. First, the configuration of the container will be described.

  In the figure, what is indicated by reference numeral 1 is a container body. This container body 1 is a stainless steel container, and a substantially rectangular opening 11 a is formed in the front side wall surface 11 of the container body 1. . Moreover, the upper surface opening part 10 is provided so that the oil A discharged | emitted from the oil tank T can be accommodated (refer FIG. 1).

  Also, what is indicated by reference numeral 2 is a pouring piece protruding from the periphery of the opening 11a of the container body 1, and the pouring piece 2 has a horizontal and linear pouring edge 21 having a predetermined width. In this embodiment, the shape of the side wall plates 22 and 22 of the pouring piece 2 is formed in a substantially trapezoidal shape (see FIG. 2), and the opening cross section is rectangular in a top view. The metal bent plate is manufactured by welding and integration (see FIGS. 3 and 4).

  Furthermore, what is indicated by reference numeral 3 is a handle portion, and this handle portion 3 is disposed on the upper front side closer to the pouring side than the center of gravity of the container body 1, and the container body 1 is held by hand. Can be suspended by holding. In the present embodiment, both ends of the handle 3 are hinged to the edge of the upper surface opening 10 at the front of the container main body 1 so as to be installed.

  Furthermore, what is indicated by reference numeral 4 is a latching convex portion, and this latching convex portion 4 is formed on the front bottom surface of the container body 1. Functionally, it protrudes from the bottom surface of the container main body 1 and restricts sliding forward by engaging the convex portion. In the present embodiment, the caster member 5 is disposed on the front bottom surface of the container body 1, and the latching convex portion 4 is formed at the location where the caster member 5 is disposed.

  Further, an anchor projection 6 is formed on the rear bottom surface of the container body 1. The anchor projection 6 is a member provided on the bottom surface to prevent the side slip of the container body 1 in a normal state, and in this embodiment, the metal plate is bent into a V shape and integrated by welding. . Furthermore, in this embodiment, the second handle portion 7 is formed on the rear side wall surface 12 of the container body 1.

  Next, the procedure for using the oil container of the present invention will be described below. First, the oil container of the present invention is installed below the oil tank T of the fryer F, and the oil A is discharged from the oil tank T. Usually, a drain is provided on the bottom surface of the oil tank T and discharged by releasing the drain cock.

  At this time, if the temperature of the oil A becomes too low, the viscosity increases, the fluidity is deteriorated, and the oil A may be hardened. Therefore, it is preferable to maintain a relatively high temperature (about 90 ° C. or higher). Is necessary to get. Further, when discharging the oil A, it is preferable to appropriately perform a filtering operation.

  When the container main body 1 is filled with oil A (25 to 28 liters in the present embodiment), the second handle 7 provided on the rear side wall surface 12 of the container main body 1 is lifted to fix the anchor member 6. While lifting from the ground, pull it out toward you (see Fig. 5). At this time, by providing the caster member 5, the drawing operation can be performed smoothly.

  Then, holding the handle portion 3 and the second handle portion 7, the container body 1 containing the oil A is lifted. In the present embodiment, the total weight is about 20 to 30 kg, and can be easily lifted by human power.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the container body 1 is placed on the shoulder edge of the oil tank T, and the latching protrusion 4 formed on the front bottom surface of the container body 1 is hooked on the shoulder edge. At this time, the pouring edge portion 21 of the pouring piece 2 is formed horizontally and linearly with a predetermined width (in this embodiment, about 10 cm), while the shoulder edge portion of the oil tank T is horizontal. The pouring edge portion 21 of the pouring piece 2 parallel to the grounding surface of the container body 1 placed there is held horizontally.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 7, the rear side (second handle portion 7) of the container body 1 is lifted and tilted forward with the latching convex portion 4 latched on the shoulder edge of the oil tank T as a fulcrum. Even when this tilting motion is performed, the pouring edge portion 21 of the pouring piece 2 is always kept in a horizontal state. At this time, the tilting motion can be made smooth by connecting the handle portion 3 with a hinge.

  Then, the stored oil A can be discharged | emitted from the said pouring piece 2 in a laminar flow state (refer FIG. 8). That is, since the oil surface of the oil A to be discharged and the pouring edge portion 21 are substantially parallel, the oil is discharged at a substantially uniform flow velocity at any point, and a laminar flow state can be skillfully created. It can be done.

  Then, just before the oil A is completely discharged, the pouring edge 21 is straight and the oil A flows so as to cross it vertically, so that the surface tension of the last oil droplet head is reduced. The action works more greatly in the direction of returning to the container than the direction of going over the pouring edge 21 and wrapping around the surface (the direction of sagging), so it is well-cut and effectively prevents oil dripping. It can be done.

  In the present embodiment, the lid member 13 can be disposed at the upper opening on the front side of the container body 1 so that the oil does not overflow due to excessive tilting during the transfer operation.

  As described above, the oil container of the present embodiment only requires the container body 1 to be placed on the shoulder edge of the oil tank T of the fryer F and tilted with the latching convex part 4 as a fulcrum. It is possible to operate with, and the safety is very high.

  The present invention is generally configured as described above. However, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the description of “Claims”. In order to prevent the metal part in the second handle part 7 from being heated by heat conduction and being burned, it can be welded with a clearance or coated with heat-resistant rubber or the like.

  In addition, although the workability is better if the caster member 5 is provided, even if the caster member 5 is not provided, the shoulder of the oil tank T can be used as long as the latching convex portion 4 protrudes from the bottom surface of the container body 1. It can be hooked on the edge, any of which are within the scope of the present invention.
