Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a rotary shaft extending along the axial direction of a fried grain cylinder in which a receiving port is provided at the lower end and a discharge port is provided at the upper end, with the axial direction being the vertical direction. The present invention relates to an improvement of a fried machine having a configuration in which a grain-feeding spiral that rotates according to the above is mounted on a storage shaft.

As shown in FIG. 1, a fried machine A of this form is generally a cylindrical fried food having an inlet 10 on the lower end side and a discharge port 11 on the upper end side, with the axial direction being the vertical direction. Inside the tube 1, a grain feeding spiral 2 in which a grain feeding wing 21 is spirally wound and mounted around a rotation axis 20, the axis of the axis of rotation 20 of the grain feeding axis 2 is coaxial with the axis of the grain raising cylinder 1. A motor M that is assembled to the fried food barrel 1 by arranging them so that they are aligned and mounted on a storage shaft, and arranging one end side of the rotary shaft 20 thereof at an appropriate position such as the outer circumference of the upper end portion of the fried food container 1
To the output shaft of the transmission gears 30 and 31 and the transmission belt 32 and the like through an appropriate transmission mechanism 3, and by the operation of the motor M, the grain feeding spiral 2 rotates and the grain is fried from the receiving port 10. The grain fed into the cylinder 1 is fed upward and discharged from the discharge port 11.

The fried machine A of this form has a vertical grain feeding spiral 2,
Since there is almost no action of scraping the surrounding grains, the feed hopper h is supplied to the receiving opening 10 formed on the side surface of the lower end of the fried cylinder 1 as shown by the chain line in FIG. By connecting the lower ports of the feed hoppers h and feeding the grain into the feed hopper h, the grain naturally flows down by the slanted bottom plate of the feed hopper h, and the bottom of the inner cavity of the fried grain barrel 1 is received from the receiving port 10. When the grains are flown into the fried food container 1 and are fried by the mulling spiral 2, the supply of the grains into the fried food container 1 is not smooth, and the grain is received at the bottom of the inner cavity of the fried food container 1. A lot of piles tend to be deposited on the side facing the inlet 10, and the grain-lifting action of the grain-feeding spiral is hardly performed, and the grain-lifting ability of the grain-driving machine A is significantly reduced. Comes out.

Further, from this fact, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the receiving port 10 opened on one side surface of the lower end portion of the fried food container 1 is connected to the fried food container 1 via the connection gutter 40. A short grain feeding spiral in which one side surface of the lower end portion of the parallel short feeding barrel 41 is connected and communicated, and a grain feeding blade 51 is spirally wound around the rotary shaft 50 in the feeding barrel 41 as shown in FIG. 5 is mounted on the storage shaft,
The connection gutter 40 is provided at the lower end of the rotary shaft 50 of the short grain feeding spiral 5.
As shown in FIG. 2, the supply cylinder 41
The push-in blades 52, 52, whose tip edges are slidably brought into contact with each other, are mounted on the inner peripheral wall of the, and the projecting end portion of the rotary shaft 50 of the grain feeding spiral 5 projecting downward from the bottom plate of the supply cylinder 41 is lifted. At the protruding end of the rotary shaft 20 of the grain feeding spiral 2 which is projected downward from the bottom plate of the grain barrel 1,
When the grain feeding spiral 2 in the fried grain barrel 1 is driven by the motor M by conducting power through the conduction mechanism 6 including the conduction wheels 60, 60 and the conduction belt 62, the motor M causes the feed grain 41 in the feed barrel 41 to move. The rotary shaft 50 of the grain-feeding spiral 5 is driven to rotate, and the pushing blades 52, 52 provided on the rotary shaft 50 cause the grains accumulated at the bottom of the supply cylinder 41 to move to the inside of the fried cylinder 1. The grain is forcibly fed toward the bottom of the cavity, whereby the grain-lifting operation of the grain-feeding spiral 2 in the grain-lifting cylinder 1 is efficiently performed.

However, the supply cylinder 41 provided in parallel with the fried food cylinder 1
The means for forcibly feeding the grains to the bottom of the fried food barrel 1 by the pushing blades 52, 52 rotating inside is the amount of fried food by the grain feeding spiral 2 in the fried food barrel 1 on the side of the supply cylinder 41. It operates normally only when it is in equilibrium with the supply amount of the grains pushed into the bottom of the inner cavity of the fried cylinder 1 by the pushing blades 52, 52.
When the amount of grains supplied by the slab is more than the fried amount of the grain-feeding spiral 2 even a little, the grains are clogged in the fried cylinder 1 and the pressure by the pushing blades 52, 52 is applied thereto, Damaged grains will start to be generated in the grain in the vicinity of the inlet 10 of the fried cylinder 1. On the contrary, when the feeding amount by the pushing blades 52, 52 decreases, there is a problem in that the grain feeding ability of the grain feeding spiral 2 has a margin, and the grain feeding amount decreases. Moreover, since the blades 52 and 52 forcibly feeding the grain are driven together with the driving of the grain feeding spiral 2 in the fried grain cylinder 1, the pushing blade 52
・ There is a problem that a large amount of power is required to drive 52.

The present invention has been made in order to solve these problems that have occurred in the conventional means, and is carried out through the receiving port 10 opened at the lower end of the fried food container 1 and in the fried food container 1. For supplying the grain to the lower end of the spiral 2, the pushing blades 52, 52
Even if the grains accumulate at the bottom of the inner space of the fried cylinder 1, do not apply a large pressure to the accumulated grains, instead of forcing them by force. By so doing, while preventing crushed grains from being generated in the grain, the amount of the grain which is commensurate with the grain-lifting ability of the grain-feeding spiral 2 with respect to the lower end of the grain-feeding spiral 2 in the grain-lifting cylinder 1 is prevented. It is an object of the present invention to provide a new means for increasing the amount of deep-fried food by ensuring that the food is properly supplied.

The present invention, however, has been completed based on the findings obtained through various studies and experiments in order to achieve the above-mentioned object. That is. The lower opening of the supply hopper h is connected and communicated with a receiving opening 10 provided at one side of the lower end of the cylinder wall 1a of the fried cylinder 1, so that the grains fed into the supplying hopper h are lifted through the receiving opening 10. The phenomenon that the grain-lifting ability of the grain-feeding spiral 2 is extremely reduced when the grain is fed to the lower end of the grain-feeding spiral 2 in the grain barrel 1 is caused by the grain fed into the feed hopper h. Flows down toward the receiving port 10 of the fried container 1 at the slanted bottom wall of the hopper h, and faces the receiving port 10 on the peripheral surface of the lower end of the grain feeding spiral 2 rotating in the fried container 1. When the grain comes into contact with the side, the rotation of the grain-feeding spiral 2 causes the grain to rotate around the periphery of the grain-feeding spiral 2 and the fried grain cylinder 1 as shown by the double-lined arrow in FIG. By being pressed into the corner formed by the inner peripheral wall and packed tightly in this narrow space, the grain stack layer contacts the grain-feeding spiral 2. The bridge phenomenon occurs in the touched part, which prevents the inflow of the grains into the pitch interval of the grain feeding wing 21 of the rotating grain feeding spiral 2,
It has been found that this is due to almost no lifting operation of the grain transfer spiral 2. From this, the rotation direction of the grain-feeding spiral 2 rotating in the fried food container 1 at the lower end of the cylinder wall 1a of the fried food container 1 and the lower end of the side wall of the supply hopper h in the vicinity of the inlet 10. To the site located in front of
As shown in FIG. 5, the expanded diameter portion w is formed, and the grains that are accumulated at the bottom of the supply hopper h and are moved forward by the rotation of the grain feeding spiral 2 flow in. When the vacant chamber y is formed and the front end side of the vacant chamber y in the rotation direction surrounds the lower end of the grain feeding spiral 2, the feeding of the grains accumulated at the bottom of the feeding hopper h is performed. The bridge phenomenon that had occurred at the contact portion with the grain spiral 2 disappeared, and the grain flow into the pitch interval of the grain feeding wing 21 of the grain feeding spiral 2 became good, and the grain feeding ability of the grain feeding spiral 2 was remarkable. This is due to the improved results.

From this, therefore, in the present invention, as means for achieving the above-mentioned object, the receiving port is opened on one side of the lower end side of the cylindrical wall and the discharge port is opened on one side of the upper end side, and the axis line A grain-feeding spiral in which a grain-feeding wing is spirally wound around a rotation axis is mounted in a cylindrical fried grain cylinder whose direction is vertical, and the axis of the rotation axis of the grain-feeding helix is the axis of the fried grain cylinder. The storage shaft is arranged and aligned so that it aligns with the core wire, and outside the receiving port on the lower end side of the fried cylinder,
