Description

  The present invention relates to a fryer electric field treatment apparatus that forms an electric field of a high voltage in a fryer to treat an oil or food in an oil tank with an electric field.

  It is widely known that by forming a high-voltage electric field in the fryer, the oxidation of oil in the oil tank can be suppressed (for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). The above-mentioned action means that the water molecule group is made small at the same time, and produces an action that makes it possible to fry food by making the inside succulently entangled outside.

  However, in order to exhibit the latter action, the electric field treatment must be performed on the corners of the food to be fried. That is, electric field processing from one direction is not enough. For this purpose, the applicant of the present invention installs a metal fried rice cake made of hexahedrons having a large number of through holes in an oil tank of a fryer, accommodates the food material therein, and applies a high voltage to the fried food item to produce the food material. We propose to form a three-dimensional electric field in all directions.

  Since the above-mentioned fried rice cake covers six sides, a lid for taking in and out foods is required. For this reason, the case-like rice cake main body with a large number of through-holes can be swung with respect to the rice cake main body. The fried rice cake is constituted by the jar side lid body that is opened and closed by the lid. Therefore, when frying the food with a fryer, it was necessary to first open the lid and then store the food inside, and then close the lid and take out the food that was lifted after the lid was opened.

  In the above case, the lid of the fried rice cake is opened and closed by picking the lid with fried chopsticks or tongs. However, unlike the work of frying food and picking it with chopsticks or tongs and putting it into oil, it is difficult to pick and lift a heavy lid, and if it is accidentally missed, the lid has fallen into the oil tank vigorously There was a danger that hot oil splattered by the body and caused unexpected burns. Moreover, when a high voltage was applied to the deep-fried rice cake, there was a risk of causing an electric shock accident through the deep-fried chopsticks and tongs.

  An object of the present invention is to provide an electric field processing apparatus for a fryer that solves the above-mentioned problems, and a fryer main body provided with a fryer side lid that is swingably opened and closed on the oil tank, and the oil tank. In a fryer electric field processing device having a frying rod made of a conductive material accommodated via a support member made of an insulating material, and applying a high voltage from the outside to the frying rod, the frying rod is passed through a number of penetrations. It is composed of a housing-like cocoon body having a hole and a heel side lid body that is swingably opened and closed with respect to the cocoon body. The flyer side lid body and the heel side lid body have the same swinging direction, and the flyer By connecting the back side of the side lid and the front side of the heel side lid with a flexible strip, the heel side lid opens and closes as the flyer side lid opens and closes.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the above invention, the flexible strip connecting the flyer side lid and the heel side lid is formed of a metal chain, and the other end of the chain is made of an insulating material. It connected to the fryer side cover body through the attaching member which becomes.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the above invention, the flexible strip connecting the flyer side lid and the heel side lid is formed of a metal chain, and the other end of the chain is connected to the flyer side lid. It is characterized in that it is connected to the flyer side lid through an attachment member made of an insulating material that is detachable from a pocket provided on the back side of the body.

  The invention described in claim 5 is characterized in that, in the above-described invention, the entire outer surface or a part of the fried rice cake and the heel side lid are coated with an insulating material.

  According to the present invention having the above-described configuration, a metal fried rice cake made of hexahedrons having a large number of through holes is installed in the fryer oil tank, and the food is stored therein so that a high voltage is applied to the fried rice cake. Since the electric field can be three-dimensionally formed in all directions of the food by applying, not only can the oxidation of the oil in the oil tank be suppressed, but also the food can be fried by squeezing the outside inside.

  In the above-mentioned fried rice cake, a lid is indispensable for taking in and out food, and its opening / closing operation is required. In this regard, in this invention, the lid side lid connected by the flexible strip opens and closes as the flyer side lid opens and closes. Therefore, since the lid is automatically opened and closed without touching the heel side lid, there is no danger of the lid falling inadvertently, resulting in an electric shock, or high temperature oil splashing and causing unexpected burns. There is no danger of accidents.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, even if the flexible strip connecting the flyer side lid and the heel side lid is formed of a metal chain, the other end of the chain is made of an insulating material. Therefore, the electric field is prevented from leaking to the flyer-side lid through the flexible strip. On the other hand, it is possible to employ a metal chain that does not have a problem even when exposed to high-temperature oil as a flexible strip.

  Further, according to the invention of claim 3, since the other end of the chain is connected to the flyer side lid through an attachment member made of an insulating material that is detachable in a pocket provided on the back side of the flyer side lid, It is possible to easily separate the fried rice cake and the jar side lid from the fryer, and maintenance is facilitated.

  According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, since the energization to the lifting kite is stopped except when the flyer side lid is covered, an electric shock accident is prevented.

  According to the invention described in claim 5, the electric field can be more efficiently formed in the frying basket by coating the whole or part of the outside of the frying basket and the kite-side lid with an insulating material. Become.
