Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
1 to 5 are explanatory views showing an example of a pressure fryer. FIG. 1 is a perspective view, FIG. 2 is a plan view, FIG. 3 is a side view, and FIG. The pressure fryer 1 has a plan view in the center of a square box-shaped housing 2 comprising a frame 3 as a framework and a panel (not shown) (not shown) shown on the outside thereof. A rectangular oil tank 5 is installed with the upper end opening 6 protruding upward from the upper panel 4 so that cooking oil stored in the oil tank 5 can be heated by a pulse combustor 7 as a heating means. It is. The top panel 4 is provided with a lid 8 that can open and close the opening 6 of the oil tank 5. 9, 9... Are casters provided at the four corners of the lower surface of the housing.

  The pulse combustor 7 is provided on the front inner surface of the oil tank 5 and combusts a mixed gas of fuel gas and combustion air, and combustion exhaust from the combustion chamber 10 is discharged to the inner surface of the oil tank 5. And a tail pipe 11 that circulates along. A combustion chamber 13 in an air chamber 12 provided on the front outer surface of the oil tank 5 is connected to the combustion chamber 10. Combustion air is connected to the mixing chamber 13 from a fan 14 in the housing 2 via a pipe. And a fuel gas is supplied from a gas conduit 16 having a flasher 15 having a solenoid valve.

  The downstream side of the tail pipe 11 is connected to the left and right exhaust pipes 17 and 17 through the air chamber 12, and is further led into the rising portion 19 installed behind the housing 2 through the decoupler 18 and the like, so that the combustion exhaust Can be discharged from the exhaust tube 20. The rising portion 19 and the upper part of the oil tank 5 are connected by two steam exhaust pipes 21 and 22, and one steam exhaust pipe 21 includes a constant pressure valve 23 so that the pressure in the oil tank 5 is equal to or higher than a predetermined value during cooking. The pressure in the oil tank 5 is kept constant by allowing the pressure to escape into the rising portion 19 when the pressure increases. The other steam discharge pipe 22 includes an opening valve 24 and opens the opening valve 24 immediately before the end of cooking, thereby releasing the pressure in the oil tank 5 into the rising portion 19 and increasing the pressure in the oil tank 5 to normal pressure. Reduce. The rising portion 19 has an oil separator that separates oil and the like from the steam introduced therein, and discharges the steam separated from the oil from the exhaust port 25 on the upper surface.

On the other hand, an oil tank (not shown) connected to the bottom of the oil tank 5 by an oil drain pipe 26 is provided in the lower part of the oil tank 5 in the housing 2, and cooking oil filtered by a filter provided in the oil tank is returned by a pump 27. By returning to the oil tank 5 through 28, cooking oil can be filtered.
29 is a burner controller provided at the lower part of the side surface of the housing 2. The burner controller 29 is connected to a solenoid valve of the flasher 15 and a temperature sensor (not shown) provided in the oil tank 5. Based on the temperature detection signal from the sensor, mixing in the combustion chamber 10 is performed by opening and closing the electromagnetic valve of the flasher 15 so as to maintain the oil temperature in the oil tank 5 at the cooking temperature (for example, 180 ° C. to 182 ° C.). ON / OFF control is performed to intermittently burn the gas. In addition, an operation panel 31 having operation buttons, a display unit, and the like is provided on the upper front side of the housing 2, and a fly controller 30 that sets a cooking mode, a heat retention mode, a cooking temperature, and the like and inputs an instruction to the burner controller 29 is provided. It has been.

The lid body 8 includes a rectangular tube-shaped arm 32 and an aluminum lid body 33 that is connected to the arm 32 and can be fitted onto the opening 6 of the oil tank 5. A handle shaft 34 having a cross-shaped handle 35 at the upper end is screwed into the longitudinal center of the arm 32, and the upper surface center of the lid body 33 is connected to the lower end of the handle shaft 34.
A pair of left and right connecting plates 36, 36 are connected orthogonally to the rear end of the arm 32, and the lower ends of the connecting plates 36, 36 are a pair of left and right erected on the upper panel 4 behind the oil tank 5. The shaft support plates 37 are connected to the upper ends of the shafts 37 so as to be rotatable by a rotation shaft 38 in the left-right direction. The connecting plates 36 and 36 and the rotating shaft 38 are integrally fixed in the rotating direction.

  Further, a pair of left and right torsion coil springs 39, 39 as urging means are packaged on the rotating shaft 38 so that the winding direction and both end positions are mirror-symmetrical, and each lower end adjacent to each other at the center of both torsion coil springs 39. Are fixed ends 41 and 41 that are locked to the inner side of the locking bar 40 that connects the rear ends of the shaft support plates 37 and 37, while upper ends that are positioned on the left and right outer sides are locked to the lower surface of the arm 32. Thus, the working ends 42 and 42 for urging the arm 32 to rotate toward the open side of the oil tank 5 are formed.

  However, the winding diameter of the torsion coil spring 39 is larger than that of the rotating shaft 38 as shown in FIG. 5, and the brake shaft 43 having a larger diameter than the rotating shaft 38 and the rotating shaft 38 are included therein. And a support shaft 44 having substantially the same diameter are accommodated in parallel with the rotation shaft 38. As shown in FIG. 6, both ends of the support shaft 44 are supported by the shaft support plate 37 through the shaft support plates 37, 37 on the lower rear side of the rotary shaft 38, but pass through the connection plates 36, 36. The support shaft 44 abuts on a stepped notch 45 provided at the rear end of each connecting plate 36 at the standing position of the lid 8 that opens the oil tank 5 so as to restrict the rotation of the arm 32. It has become. The restricting means restricts the rotation of the lid 8 at a position rotated 87 ° rearward from the lying position, which is 0 ° indicated by a solid line in FIG. 5, and is slightly forward from 90 ° in the vertical direction as indicated by a two-dot chain line. It is tilted upright. Inside the arm 32, a counterweight 46 having a U-shaped cross section is accommodated and fixed to the inner surface of the arm 32. In the standing position, the center of gravity G of the lid 8 is behind the axis O1 of the rotating shaft 38, that is, It is set so as to be positioned behind a virtual line L in the vertical direction passing through the axis O <b> 1 of the rotation shaft 38. Therefore, even when the lid body 8 is in a forward inclined posture of 87 °, the standing position is maintained.

Further, the brake shaft 43 is not connected to the connecting plate 36 and the shaft support plate 37, and is located behind the rotating shaft 38 and above the supporting shaft 44 in the torsion coil spring 39, and is connected to the axis of the rotating shaft 38. Parallel movement is possible on the orthogonal plane.
Therefore, here, the axis O1 of the rotating shaft 38 which is the rotation center of the lid 8 and the axis O2 of the torsion coil spring 39 do not coincide with each other, and the axis O2 of the torsion coil spring 39 is the axis of the rotating shaft 38. It is eccentric rearward and lower than O1. As a result, the rotation angle α1 of the lid 8 is 87 °, whereas the rotation angle α2 of the working end 42 of the torsion coil spring 39 is 74 °, which is smaller than the rotation angle of the lid 8.

Reference numeral 47 denotes a U-shaped stopper plate that is fixed between the left and right shaft support plates 37, 37, and the stopper portions 48, 48 at the left and right ends are positioned inside the shaft support plates 37, 37, respectively. The upper surface is located slightly below the support shaft 44, and as shown in FIG. 6, there is a gap between the connecting plates 36 and 36 that abut the support shaft 44 at the standing position of the lid body 8. Accordingly, when the support shaft 44 is broken or the like and the regulation of the coupling plates 36 and 36 becomes impossible and the lid body 8 rotates rearward, the coupling is coupled to the stopper portions 48 and 48 of the stopper plate 47 as shown in FIG. The rotation of the lid body 8 can be restricted by the plates 36 and 36 coming into contact with each other.
In addition, a semi-cylindrical spring cover 49 is provided above the stopper plate 47 so as to cover the outer surfaces of the torsion coil springs 39 and 39 between the connecting plates 36 and 36 from the front to the upper side. Is prevented from adhering.

On the other hand, at the front end of the arm 32, a pair of left and right lock plates 50, 50 having a grip rod 51 on the outside of the protruding end and a lock rod 52 on the inside can swing back and forth about the connecting shaft 53. And a line connecting the lock rod 52 and the connecting shaft 53 is urged to an inner position that is orthogonal to the arm 32 by a torsion spring 54 provided on the connecting shaft 53. On the front surface of the oil tank 5, a receiving portion 55 that can be locked by the lock rod 52 in a closed state of the oil tank 5 by the lid body 33 protrudes.
Further, a cover portion 56 that covers the outer periphery of the upper end of the oil tank 5 in the closed state of the oil tank 5 is formed on the periphery of the lid body 33, and a packing 57 is provided on the inner side of the cover section 56 over the entire periphery. It has been. Further, when the lid 8 is fully opened, a receiving plate 58 extending in the left-right direction and inclined downward to the left is screwed to the lower side of the cover portion 56 located below the standing position of the lid 8. The oil flowing down along the inner surface of the lid body 33 is received. The oil received by the receiving tray 58 is received in the receiving cylinder 60 provided on the upper surface panel 4 from the drop hole 59 on the left side of the receiving tray 58, and is sent to the rising portion 19 through the feeding pipe 61.

  Therefore, when closing the oil tank 5, if the arm 32 is rotated forward while holding the holding rod 51 from the front side of the housing 2 and swinging the lock plate 50 outward, the lid body 33 also follows and moves forward. To close the opening 6 of the oil tank 5. When the lock plate 50 is pushed into the inner position in this state, the lock rod 52 is engaged with the receiving portion 55 and the lid body 8 is held at the lying position where the oil tank 5 is closed. Here, when the handle 35 is rotated and the handle shaft 34 is screwed into the arm 32, the lid body 33 is pressed against the oil tank 5, the packing 57 of the lid body 33 is brought into close contact with the opening 6 of the oil tank 5, and the oil tank 5 is sealed. . When opening the oil tank 5, the handle 35 is rotated in the reverse order to release the pressure on the lid body 33, and then the arm 32 is rotated upward while holding the grip bar 51 and pulling the lock plate 50 toward you. Then, the lid body 33 also follows and rotates upward, and the lid body 8 moves to a standing position where the oil tank 5 is opened as shown in FIG.

When the lid 8 is raised and lowered, the working end 42 of each torsion coil spring 39 also rotates following the rotation of the arm 32, and the axial length of each torsion coil spring 39 depends on the rotation of the action end 42. Changes and expands / contracts winding diameter. That is, when the lid 8 is closed, the axial length of the torsion coil spring 39 is maximized and the winding diameter is contracted, so that the inner rotary shaft 38, the brake shaft 43, and the support shaft 44 are respectively tightened from the outside. As shown in FIG. 9 (A), the brake shaft 43 comes into contact with the rotating shaft 38 and the support shaft 44 and is pressed by both. Therefore, when the lid 8 is opened in this state, a large braking force is generated in the opening direction due to the frictional force between the rotating shaft 38 and the braking shaft 43, and thus the lid 8 is flipped up vigorously. Is prevented.
When the lid 8 starts to open, the winding diameter of the torsion coil spring 39 gradually expands according to the rotation of the action end 42, so that the pressure on the braking shaft 43 weakens and the braking force due to friction gradually decreases. Therefore, the cover body 8 can be opened with a relatively light force by applying an urging force by the torsion coil spring 39.

As the torsion coil spring 39 expands, as shown in FIG. 9B, the braking shaft 43 rolls rearward away from the rotation shaft 38 and contacts the inner peripheral portion of the torsion coil spring 39 and the support shaft 44. It is supported in the state. At this time, the torsion coil spring 39 gradually moves the contact point with the brake shaft 43 rearward as it expands, so that the brake shaft 43 is urged to rotate in the direction of the arrow. However, since the brake shaft 43 is in contact with the support shaft 44, the frictional force generated between the brake shaft 43 and the support shaft 44 adds resistance to the rotation of the brake shaft 43, and the torsion coil spring to be expanded. A predetermined braking force always acts on the action end 42 of 39. Therefore, if the hand is released from the gripping rod 51 while the lid body 8 is being opened, the lid is caused by a balance between the expanding force of the torsion coil spring 39 and the frictional force (braking force) between the braking shaft 43 and the support shaft 44. The movement of the body 8 will stop. When the lid body 8 is rotated from here to the open side, the urging force exceeds the braking force, so that the lid body 8 can be rotated to the standing position in FIG. In this state, the inner peripheral portion of the torsion coil spring 39 is also away from the rotating shaft 38.
When the lid body 8 is laid down from the standing position, the torsion coil spring 39 gradually contracts from the fully expanded state, so that the braking shaft 43 performs the reverse operation and the support shaft 44 is brought into contact with the support shaft 44 only. And the braking force gradually increases. Therefore, the lid 8 does not close vigorously.

The braking force due to the contraction of the torsion coil spring 39 when the lid 8 is closed is strongest on the working end 42 side and gradually decreases from the working end 42 side as the lid 8 is opened, so only one torsion coil spring 39 is provided. If this is the case, the force applied to the braking shaft 43 becomes non-uniform, and the braking shaft 43 may be tilted on the inside and a desired braking force may not be obtained.
However, since the torsion coil spring 39 is provided mirror-symmetrically on the left and right sides here, a force can be applied mirror-symmetrically to the braking shaft 43. Therefore, it is possible to obtain the desired braking force by preventing the braking shaft 43 from tilting.

  In the pressure fryer 1 configured as described above, when pressure cooking is performed, the lid 8 is closed in a state where the oil tank 5 is filled with cooking oil and the food is stored using the basket 62. At this time, the lid body 8 in the standing position is in a posture inclined forward from 90 ° as described above, and the grip bar 51 is provided at the front end of the lock plate 50 protruding forward from the arm 32. A person can easily grip the gripping rod 51 and close the lid body 8 without leaning over the oil tank 5 greatly.

  After the oil tank 5 is closed, when the predetermined cooking mode is selected by the fly controller 30 and the operation switch of the operation panel 31 is turned on, the burner controller 29 rotates the fan 14 for a predetermined time and supplies air. Then, the mixed gas is burned intermittently to operate the pulse combustor 7. That is, the spark plug 63 (FIG. 4) provided in the combustion chamber 10 ignites the mixed gas to explode and burn in the combustion chamber 10, and the combustion exhaust is removed from the tailpipe by the pressure increase in the combustion chamber 10 accompanying the combustion. 11 is forcibly discharged to 11 and the operation (ON / OFF operation) of sucking fuel gas and combustion air into the combustion chamber 10 which becomes negative pressure due to the discharge of the combustion exhaust is repeated or input adjustment by proportional control To do.

  When the pressure cooking is completed, the operator rotates the handle 35 to release the pressure on the lid body 33, and then grips the gripping bar 51 and pulls out the lock plate 50 toward the front. Then, the lid 8 is lifted upward and rotated to the standing position. Therefore, the oil tank 5 can be opened and the food can be taken out. When the oil tank 5 is opened, since the braking force is applied from the torsion coil spring 39 to the rotating shaft 38 via the braking shaft 43 as described above, the lid body 8 does not jump up vigorously.

  Thus, according to the pressure fryer 1 of the said form, the control means (the support shaft 44 and the connection board 36) which controls the rotation of the cover body 8 to the back in the forward inclination attitude | position which inclines to a predetermined angle front side from a perpendicular direction. On the other hand, by setting the center of gravity G of the lid 8 to be rearward of the axis O1 of the rotation shaft 38 in the forward tilt posture, the forward tilt posture can be maintained, and the forward tilt posture is set to the standing position of the lid body 8. As a result, the distance between the lid body 8 and the operator is reduced, and the operator can open and close the lid body 8 without having to go over the oil tank 5 greatly. Therefore, even a small worker can easily open and close the lid 8, and the usability is improved.

In particular, the center of gravity position can be easily set by providing the counterweight 46 on the arm 32 constituting the lid 8 and setting the center of gravity position rearward.
Further, since the counterweight 46 is fixed to the inner surface of the cylindrical arm 32, the counterweight 46 can be easily installed using the arm 32, and the strength of the arm 32 can be expected to be increased by the counterweight 46.
Further, the restricting means includes a support shaft 44 (regulation shaft) installed between the left and right shaft support plates 37 and 37 and an arm 32 which comes into contact with the support shaft 44 in an upright position to rotate the arm 32. By configuring the connecting plate 36 (contact portion) to be regulated, the rotation of the lid body 8 can be easily regulated using the space between the shaft support plates 37 and 37.

In addition, a stopper plate 47 (stopper) with which the connecting plate 36 abuts on the inner side of the shaft support plates 37 and 37 by the rearward rotation of the lid body 8 positioned below the support shaft 44 and exceeding the standing position. By providing, even if the support shaft 44 is damaged due to aging, the stopper plate 47 can restrict the rotation of the lid 8 and prevent the lid 8 from falling backward. Further, when the support shaft 44 is broken, the lid body 8 is rotated rearward from the normal standing position, so that the operator can easily know the breakage of the support shaft 44.
Further, by providing a gripping rod 51 (gripping part) that protrudes forward from the lid main body 33 at the standing position of the lid 8 at the front end of the arm 32, the operator grips the gripping rod 51 at a closer position. Thus, the lid body 8 can be opened and closed, and the operator's entry can be further reduced.
Furthermore, by providing the torsion coil spring 39 (biasing means) that urges the lid 8 to the upright position, the moment when the lid 8 is rotated to the lying down position can be suppressed.

On the other hand, in the pressure fryer 1 of the above-described form, the shaft center O2 of the torsion coil spring 39 is eccentric rearward with respect to the shaft center O1 of the rotation shaft 38, and the torsion coil spring 39 has a rotational angle (87 °) greater than the rotation angle (87 °) of the lid body 8. Since the rotation angle (74 °) of the working end 42 is reduced, the maximum stress on the torsion coil spring 39 is within the allowable stress, and the torsion coil spring 39 is not easily damaged even when the lid 8 is repeatedly opened and closed. Therefore, the life of the torsion coil spring 39 is prolonged and the durability is excellent.
Further, by making the inner diameter of the torsion coil spring 39 larger than the outer diameter of the rotating shaft 38 and accommodating the braking shaft 43 inside the torsion coil spring 39, the axis O 1 of the rotating shaft 38 and the axis O 2 of the torsion coil spring 39 are accommodated. Since both are eccentric, the eccentricity of both can be set easily. In particular, since the brake shaft 43 has a larger diameter than the rotary shaft 38, the eccentric distance can be easily increased. Furthermore, since the support shaft 44 that restricts the downward movement of the brake shaft 43 is provided, the brake shaft 43 can be stably accommodated.

And in the pressure fryer 1 of the said form, the braking shaft 43 parallel to the rotating shaft 38 is accommodated in the inside of the torsion coil spring 39 so that a parallel movement is possible on the surface orthogonal to the rotating shaft 38, and the fall of the cover body 8 is carried out. At the position, the braking shaft 43 is pressed against the rotating shaft 38 by contraction of the winding diameter of the torsion coil spring 39 so that a braking force can be applied to the rotating shaft 38, so that friction applied to the rotating shaft 38 via the braking shaft 43 is achieved. Due to the force, a large braking force is applied to the rotation direction of the lid body 8 to the standing position, so that the lid body 8 is prevented from being pushed up vigorously from the lying position. On the contrary, when the lid 8 starts to open, the working end 42 of the torsion coil spring 39 rotates and expands, and the tightening force to the braking shaft 43 decreases and the braking force weakens. Can rotate the lid 8 with a relatively light force.
Therefore, even if the torsion coil spring 39 for biasing the lid 8 to the open side is provided, the lid 8 can be opened and closed smoothly with a simple configuration with the addition of the brake shaft 43, and the operability is low. It will be excellent.

  In particular, here, on the housing 2 side, a support shaft 44 that passes through the torsion coil spring 39 on the lower rear side of the rotation shaft 38 and supports the brake shaft 43 from below is supported in parallel with the rotation shaft 38, and the lid body 8. When the winding diameter of the torsion coil spring 39 contracts at the lying position, the braking shaft 43 is brought into contact with the rotating shaft 38 and the support shaft 44 at the same time, and the winding diameter of the torsion coil spring 39 accompanying the rotation of the lid body 8 to the standing position. When the winding diameter is increased in accordance with the rotation of the lid body 8 to the standing position, the braking shaft 43 is separated from the rotation shaft 38 and brought into contact with only the support shaft 44 by the expansion of the torsion coil spring 39. By pressing the support shaft 44 against the braking shaft 43 that is in contact with the inner peripheral portion of the torsion coil spring 39, the acting end 43 of the torsion coil spring 39 has a braking force that is smaller than the braking force at the lying position of the lid body 8. Since it is possible to grant Even during the opening and closing body 8 can be obtained the minimum braking force, there is no such thing as the lid 8 also or the hand is released to freely rotate from the lid 8.

Further, since the brake shaft 43 is formed to have a larger diameter than the rotary shaft 38, a large braking force can be easily applied to the rotary shaft 38.
Furthermore, by arranging the torsion coil spring 39 so that the winding direction and the positions of the fixed end 41 and the action end 42 are mirror-symmetrical on the left and right, it is possible to apply a mirror-symmetric force to the braking shaft 43, and torsion The braking shaft 43 does not tilt inside the coil spring 39, and a desired braking force can be exhibited.

The angle of the forward tilt posture of the lid is not limited to 87 °, and can be changed as appropriate. The shape and position of the counterweight can be selected as appropriate, and can be omitted if the center of gravity position can be set backward without the counterweight.
The shape of the arm may be other shapes such as a round tube in addition to the square tube, and the stopper is not limited to the stopper plate of the above form, and a stopper such as a bolt or a pin is provided inside the shaft support plate. Alternatively, a shaft constructed between the shaft support plates may be used as a stopper in the same manner as the restriction shaft.
The number of torsion coil springs is not limited to two in the above-described form, and may be one or three or more, and other urging means other than the torsion coil spring may be employed.
In addition, other configurations of the pressure fryer can be appropriately changed. For example, the heating means is not limited to the pulse combustor but can be replaced with a burner, a heater, or the like. The present invention can be adopted even if the pressure tank is not a single oil tank but a pair of oil tanks arranged side by side.
