Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a fryer having a plurality of independent oil tanks for cooking deep-fried food such as tempura and fries.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Fryers for cooking deep-fried foods such as tempura and fries are well known in the art, and a fryer in which a plurality of oil tanks are partitioned by a partition wall, or a fryer having a plurality of independent oil tanks is also available, for example, in Kokoku Sho 59. No. 31147, No. 60-77538, No. 61-86132 and the like. Further, a fryer equipped with a heating device, a tank, an oil feeding device, a strainer, a control device and the like under an oil tank is also known from, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 49-32071. According to a fryer having a plurality of oil tanks, oil can be put into each oil tank and heated by a heater to cook deep-fried food such as tempura and fries in each oil tank. According to the latter fryer, the oil can be cooked in the oil tank, and the oil can be appropriately transferred to the tank through the strainer and returned to the oil tank by the oil feeding device.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 A fryer having a plurality of oil tanks, for example, a fryer having a removable partition plate can change the number of oil tanks to be heated, or can heat only required oil tanks for efficient cooking. However, there are problems. For example, if you fry by yourself in a fryer with two oil tanks, you can put the fried seeds in the oil tank and take out the fried food by yourself. The flour gets on hands and chopsticks, etc., but since the fried food fried with such hands and chopsticks has to be taken out, the flour may adhere to the fried food. Therefore, if the person who puts the fried seeds in the oil tank and the person who takes out the fried food are divided and cooked separately or in a specialized manner, the above-mentioned problem of adhesion of flour can be solved, but due to the labor division There is a risk that the efficiency will not increase due to the intersection and that the heated oil tank will be touched when intersecting. The fryer described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 60-77538 has a partition plate lower than the upper surface of the oil tank, but has no device for adjusting the oil surface, and thus has a disadvantage of poor usability. According to the fryer disclosed in Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 49-32071, since it has a tank, a strainer, an oil feeding device, etc., it is possible to cook a deep-fried food with a uniform color and also to filter oil. However, since there is only one oil tank, in order to carry out the above-mentioned division of labor, there is a special partition plate, etc. that divides the oil tank into a larger part for pre-cooking with fried seeds and a part for frying. There are drawbacks that are needed. In addition, even when cooking a small amount, the entire oil must be heated, which poses a problem of oil deterioration. The present invention has been made in view of the drawbacks or problems of the conventional fryer as described above, and it is possible to safely and efficiently perform the division of labor or the specialized cooking, and it is easy to use. The aim is to provide a fryer that does not have the problem of oil deterioration.

[0004]

[Means for solving]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a cooking device in which a plurality of oil tanks for cooking deep-fried food such as tempura and fries are partitioned by partition members, wherein the partition members are lower than the upper surface of the oil tank. It is configured to include an oil storage container that has an insertion portion and that stores oil discharged from the oil tank, and a pump device that sends oil from the oil storage container to the oil tank.

[0005]

[Action]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, it is divided into a person who puts the fried seed in the oil tank and a person who takes out the fried food. Put the oil in the oil tank and make the oil level higher than the notch of the partition member. Then add the fried seeds to one of the oil tanks. When the surface of the deep-fried seed becomes a little hard, transfer it to the other oil tank through the notch. Those who arrive in the other oil tank take out the deep-fried food. When using multiple oil tanks independently, drain the oil from the oil tank into the filtration tank and lower the oil level below the notch of the partition member. Then, since the oil is divided by the partition member, each oil tank is independent of the oil. Therefore, deep-fried foods such as tempura and fries are cooked in their respective oil tanks in the conventional manner. When the amount to be fried is small, add a predetermined amount of oil to the cooking oil tank, that is, until the oil level is slightly below the notch of the partition member. Transfer the oil from another oil tank to the filter tank. Then, deep-fried foods such as tempura and fries are prepared by a known method.

[0006]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, an example in which the present invention is implemented in a two oil tank type fryer will be described. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the whole of the present embodiment. Referring to FIG. 1, a fryer 1 has a box-shaped outer box 2, and two oil tanks 3 above the outer box 2, At a glance, it can be seen that 3 are provided in parallel via the partition wall 20. It is also understood that one filtration tank 15 is put under the oil tanks 3 and 3, and the filtration tank 15 can be freely taken out and put in by opening a door from the opening 4 of the outer box 2. Furthermore, two baskets 16, 16 are placed on the filtration tank 15, and referring also to FIG. 2, the tips of the oil drain pipes 8, 8 connected to the oil tanks 3, 3 are It is also easily understood that the baskets 16 and 16 are provided so as to enter inside from above.

The partition wall 20 that partitions the oil tanks 3 and 3 has a notch 22 at a substantially central portion. The height of this notch 22 is lower than the upper surfaces 21 of the oil tanks 3, 3. The upper surface of the cut portion 22 of the partition wall 20 has a circular arc-shaped cross section as shown in the drawing. Therefore, for example, a tempura forming machine as described in Japanese Patent Application No. 3-112712 related to the application of the present applicant, the cut portion 22 with the deep-fried food put therein, one oil tank 3 to the other oil tank. It is possible to smoothly pass to 3. In the illustrated embodiment, the cross section of the upper surface of the cut portion 22 of the partition wall 20 is formed in an arc shape, but a structure in which oil does not accumulate, for example, the cross section may be triangular. In the wall surfaces of the oil tanks 3 and 3, a front wall located on the left side in FIG. 2 and a rear wall located on the right side are partially vertical, but the bottoms are inclined. That is, the slope of the front first bottom portion 5 is relatively large, and the slope of the rear second bottom portion 6 is relatively small. The first bottom portion 5 and the second bottom portion 6 are combined to form an oil drainage port 7 at the deepest portion thereof, and an oil drainage pipe 8 is attached to the oil drainage port 7 by welding or the like. In this way, the slope of the first bottom portion 5 is large, the slope of the second bottom portion 6 is small, and the bottom ends of these bottom portions 5 and 6 are joined together, so that the oil drain port 7 is close to the opening 4 of the outer box 2. It is easy to operate the ball valves 9 and 9 which are located in the oil drain pipes 8 and located at the position.

In order to heat the oil in the oil tanks 3 and 3, as shown in FIG. 2, an electric heater 10 is provided in this embodiment. The heater 10 hangs from the terminals provided in the rear of the oil tanks 3 and 3 or the electric equipment box 11 into the oil tanks 3 and 3, and meanders in a horizontal plane, although not shown in the figure. A handle 12 is attached to the tip of the heater 10, and the handle 12 is placed on the edges of the oil tanks 3 and 3 so that the heater 10 is set horizontally in the oil tanks 3 and 3. Rotates about the electrical equipment box 11 by a predetermined angle. Therefore, for example, the oil tanks 3 and 3 can be cleaned.

The filtration tank 15 is formed of, for example, a stainless steel plate into a box shape, a carrying handle is attached to the upper edge of the facing first side wall, and the upper edge of the other facing second side wall. Four convex pieces for positioning the baskets 16 and 16 are formed at a predetermined interval in the above, and these structures are described in Japanese Patent Application No. 3-94638, which is the application of the present applicant. Therefore, it is not accurately shown in the drawings of this embodiment.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the oil piping system includes one suction pipe 23 facing the inside of the filtration tank 15 and a flexible suction tube 24 connected to the suction pipe 23. A pump 25, flexible discharge tubes 26, 26 branched in the discharge tube of the pump 25, ball valves 27, 27 interposed in the discharge tubes 26, 26, respectively, and It is composed of flexible return pipes 28, 28 extending from the ball valves 27, 27 and connected to the respective oil tanks 3, 3, and a return port 29. The pump 25 is arranged in a rear portion of the outer box 2, and its discharge tubes 26, 26 extend forward along both side walls of the outer box 2 to reach the brackets 30, 30. Since the discharge tubes 26, 26 extend along the side walls in this way, there is no obstacle when the filtration tank 15 is taken in and out of the outer box 2. Ball valves 27 and 27 are supported by the brackets 30 and 30, respectively. The return pipes 28, 28 stand up above the second bottom portions 6 of the oil tanks 3, 3. Then, the return port 29 is attached so as to face the second bottom portion 6 in the space between the heater 10 and the vertical wall which cannot be used for cooking. The return port 29 can be implemented in a variety of forms, but is oriented downward when mounted in any embodiment. A magnetic contactor 31, a temperature controller 32 and the like are attached to the rear wall of the outer box 2.

As shown in FIG. 2, a filter 33 is attached to the lower end of the suction pipe 23. The filter 33 is composed of a cotton-like bag 34 having a predetermined mesh and a mesh-like metal body 35 which is put inside the cotton-like bag 34 so that the cotton-like bag 34 maintains a predetermined shape. An attachment nut 36 is fixed to the mesh-shaped metal body 35 by welding or the like. Therefore, when the lower end of the suction pipe 23 is inserted through the upper portion of the cotton bag 34 and the screw 37 formed at the lower end of the suction pipe 23 is screwed into the attachment nut 36, the suction pipe 23 A filter 33 is attached to the lower end of 23.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described. When there are two cooks, one who puts the deep-fried seeds in the oil tank and the other who takes out the deep-fried foods. When cooking a large amount by division of labor, the pump 25 is started and the filter tank 15 is connected to the filter 33. Oil is introduced into the oil tanks 3 and 3 through the suction pipe 23, the suction tube 24, the discharge tube 26, the ball valves 27 and 27, the return pipes 28 and 28, and the return ports 29 and 29, and the oil level is cut off by the partition wall 20. It is made higher than the embedded portion 22. At this time, it is obvious that refueling can be performed by opening only one ball valve 27. Then, the oil in the oil tanks 3, 3 is heated. In one of the oil tanks 3, for example, the above-mentioned tempura forming device is put, and the deep-fried seed is put in this tempura forming device. When the surface of the deep-fried seed becomes a little hard, the tempura former is transferred to the other oil tank 3 through the notch 22. At this time, the tempura forming device moves while being submerged in oil. The fried seeds are held by the tempura forming device and transferred to the other oil tank 3. A person who is exclusively engaged in the other oil tank 3 takes out the deep-fried food.

When the two oil tanks 3, 3 are used independently, the ball valves 9, 9 of the oil drain pipes 8, 8 are opened to discharge the oil in the oil tanks 3, 3 into the filtration tank 15, Lower than the notch 22 of the partition wall 20. It should be noted that it is also possible to open only the ball valves 9, 9 of one of the oil drain pipes 8, 8 to discharge the oil in the oil tanks 3, 3 into the filtration tank 15 and lower the oil level from the notch 22 of the partition wall 20. .. When the oil level is lowered, the oil is divided by the partition wall 20, so the oil tanks 3 and 3 are independent. Therefore, the oil can be heated by the heaters 10 and 10 in the conventional manner, and the deep-fried food such as tempura and fries can be processed in the oil tanks 3 and 3. When the amount of frying is small, the oil surface is lowered from the notch 22 of the partition wall 20, and the oil in one oil tank 3 is discharged to the filtration tank 15. Then, the deep-fried food is cooked in one oil tank 3.

According to this embodiment, various effects can be obtained. For example, by raising the oil level from the notch 22, the two oil tanks 3 and 3 can be used separately for preheating and frying, and cooking can be done on a professional or divided basis. Since it can be cooked on a professional basis, the deep-fried food will not be contaminated with flour. In addition, people can efficiently fry a large amount of food without crossing it during cooking. Even if the oil level is lowered from the notch 22 and the two oil tanks 3 and 3 are independent oil tanks, it is possible to use only one oil tank 3 when the amount of deep-fried food is small, so it is unnecessary. It is not necessary to heat the oil tank 3. Therefore, the oil will not be uselessly deteriorated. When only one oil tank 3 is used, the oil in the oil tank 3 to be used is first discharged to the filtration tank 15, and the oil in the oil tank 3 not to be used is discharged while pumping the oil to the oil tank 3 to be used. It is possible to remove the lees by sending oil. Therefore, deterioration of oil can be suppressed. That is, by discharging the oil from the oil tanks 3 and 3 to the filtration tank 15 and sending the oil to the required oil tanks 3 and 3 by appropriately opening and closing the ball valves 27 and 27, the large lees can be stored in the baskets 16 and 16. The fine lees are removed, and the fine lees are filtered by the cotton bag 34 of the filter 33, so that the deterioration of the oil is prevented. Further, the cotton bag 34 of the filter 33 of the present embodiment spreads to the bottom of the filtration tank 15 and has a large surface area, and since the shape is retained by the reticulated metal body 35, clogging may occur and the filtering action may deteriorate. There is no such thing.

According to the present embodiment, the second bottom portions 6 of the oil tanks 3 and 3 are long but have a gentle slope, and the first bottom portion 5 has a large slope but is short, so that the amount of oil used is small. The heating time for obtaining the optimum oil temperature for frying is shortened, and the amount of oil used is small, so it can be discharged in a short time. Furthermore, since the return port 29 from the filtration tank 15 is provided above the second bottom portion 6 having a small slope, the lees on the second bottom portion 6 can be drained by the return oil. Further, since the first bottom 5 having a large slope is located on the side of the opening 4 of the outer box 2, the oil drain port 7 is close to the opening 4, and the ball valves 9 and 9 can be easily operated. There is also. When filtering oil used in fryer, etc., a filter is conventionally placed under the oil discharge port of the oil tank to drop the oil into it, but if the temperature of the oil is high, when it drops from the oil discharge port, Oil spreads out and falls from the oil drain. This finely dispersed oil splashes out of the filtration machine, or the momentum of the oil once dropped into the filtration machine splashes around and is dangerous, and the floor and fryer surroundings are contaminated with oil and are unsanitary. But also. However, according to the present embodiment, since the oil drain pipe 8 is connected to the oil drain port 7, it is possible to prevent the high temperature oil from dropping from the oil drain port to the outside of the filtration tank 15. Further, since the baskets 16 and 16 are arranged in the filtration tank 15, the momentum of the oil when the oil is discharged from the oil drain pipe 8 to the filtration tank 15 is softened and does not bounce around from the filtration tank 15. In particular, according to this embodiment, since the baskets 16 and 16 are composed of a net of about 10 mesh, the force of the falling oil can be directly softened by the net without the oil staying in the baskets 16 and 16. ..

[0016]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, since the partition member has the cut portion that is lower than the upper surface of the oil tank, the oil surface is raised from the cut portion and the deep-fried food is transferred from one oil tank to the other oil tank during cooking. The unique effect of the present invention is that the fried food can be moved and cooked professionally. Further, by lowering the oil level, a plurality of oil tanks can be used as independent oil tanks. Further, according to the present invention, since the oil reservoir for accumulating the oil discharged from the oil reservoir and the pump device for sending the oil from the oil reservoir to the oil reservoir are provided, it is possible to easily adjust the above-mentioned oil level.
