On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, the reversing device 3 includes long forks 11A formed by bending metal rods into a U-shape on both sides of a support frame 10 fitted to the rotating shaft 9.
and short forks 11B are fixed alternately, and the forks 11A and 11B constitute receiving members for the object 4 on both sides of the support frame 10, respectively. The positions where the forks 11A and 11B are fixed to the support frame 10 are as follows:
A long fork 11A is located at a position corresponding to the notch 8 of the hook 7, and a short fork 11B is located between the long forks 11A and 11A. In the figure, reference numeral 12 denotes a groove formed at the base of the hooks 7, 7 along the longitudinal direction of the support frame 10. The reversing device 3 and the conveying devices 5a, 5b are arranged so that when the hooks 7, 7 of the conveying devices 5a, 5b pass through a portion adjacent to the reversing device 3, the comb-shaped notch 8 of the hook 7 and the reversing device 3
The long forks 11A, 11A are set and installed so as to play with each other.

An input conveyor 13 facing outward from the oil tank 1 is connected to the outside of the conveying device 5a on the inlet side, and a discharge conveyor 13 facing outward from the oil tank 1 is connected to the outside of the conveying device 5b on the discharge side. 14 are installed in series. A variable speed gear motor 15 is installed inside the frame 2, and the variable speed gear motor 1
5, the input conveyor 13 and the discharge conveyor 14 are continuously operated in the directions of arrows 16 and 17, and the reversing device 3 and the conveying devices 5a and 5b are operated via a gear device 18.

Since the reversing device 3 and the conveying device 5b are placed close to each other to the extent that the hooks 7 of the reversing surface 11a and the hook 7 of the conveying device 5b are loose with each other, the distance over which the object 4 should be pushed out on the reversing surface 11a is also shortened. , fried food 4
is reliably delivered to the transport device 5b.

Objects 4 sent to the conveying device 5b on the exit side
are transferred to the discharge conveyor 14 side according to the intermittent operation of the transfer device 5b, and during this time the remaining sides are fried.

The objects 4 transferred to the discharge conveyor 14 are discharged to the outside of the oil tank, so they can be sequentially recovered as products.

(Effect of the invention) As explained above, according to this invention, the tip edge of the lifted object receiving member of the reversing device and the tip edge of the lifted object partitioning member of the conveying device are connected to each other at adjacent parts of both devices. Since the reversing device and the conveying member are made playable, it is possible to install the reversing device and the conveying member close to each other, thereby shortening the distance for transferring the objects between the two devices, thereby making the transfer smooth and reliable. As a result, not only can fried food products be manufactured efficiently, but also the number of personnel monitoring the equipment can be omitted, resulting in a labor-saving effect.
