Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to an automatic frying device for automatically frying flat-shaped fried foods, such as croquettes, minced pork cutlet, and flattened fried food.

[Conventional technology]

As shown in FIG. 4, in the conventional automatic frying device, the frying material is sequentially charged into the oil (2) of the primary oil tank (1), and the frying material thrown into the oil (2) is lengthened. Transfer from the starting side (end side in the figure) of the primary oil tank (1) immersed in the oil (2) to the end side (right side in the figure) on the long endless linear transfer conveyor (3) In the meantime, one side (lower side) of the fried food material is heated and fried, and this is lifted from the oil (2) by the primary transfer conveyor (3) at the end of the primary oil tank (1) to drop excess oil. It is removed and carried, and when it comes to the end of the primary transfer conveyor (3), it is peeled off by the peeling roller (4) and falls into the oil (6) in the secondary oil tank (5) by its own weight. The material is inverted by itself, and thus the fried food material which is inverted and dropped into the oil (6) in this manner is a long endless secondary transfer conveyor. Transfer to the end side (right end side in the figure) from the start end side (left end side in the figure) of the secondary oil tank (5) soaked in the oil (6) on the (7) side, while the other side of the fried material is transferred. It is heated and fried to make a complete fried food, which is lifted from the oil (6) by the secondary transfer conveyor (7) at the terminal end of the secondary oil tank (5) to remove excess oil by drop removal, and then carried.
The secondary transfer conveyor (7) is configured to be dropped by its own weight at the end of the secondary transfer conveyor (7) and accommodated in a receiving box (not shown).

[Problems to be solved by the device]

As described above, the conventional automatic frying-frying device frying one side of the frying material in the primary oil tank (1) and then inverting the frying material is close to the end of the primary transfer conveyor (3). By peeling from the primary transfer conveyer (3) with the peeling roller (4) provided, it is reversed by itself when it falls into the oil (6) of the secondary oil tank (5) by its own weight. However, in this case, since the head of the fried material is always constant, if the size of the fried material changes, reliable inversion cannot be expected. That is, in the case of a large fried food material, the head is insufficient and the head cannot be inverted, and in the case of a small fried material, the head is too large and the head is not always inverted by one to several rotations. Therefore, the frying state of the surface of the finished fried food is different, which causes a problem that the front and the back are formed and the commercial value is impaired.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide an automatic fried food frying device that can reliably reverse even if the size of the fried food material changes.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention has a primary oil tank that stores oil that is constantly heated, and a secondary oil tank that is connected to the rear of the primary oil tank and that stores oil that is constantly heated. 1 above
The primary transfer conveyor is fitted over the entire length in the secondary oil tank, the end portion is lifted up from the oil surface, and the primary transfer conveyor is located outside the primary oil tank, and the secondary oil tank is fitted over the entire length. The end part is lifted from the oil surface,
In addition, it comprises a secondary transfer conveyor located outside the secondary oil tank, and a peeling conveyor pivotally supported at the terminal end of the primary oil tank so that the starting end can swing up and down. The end of the peeling conveyor is supported on the tip of the secondary oil tank so as to be adjustable in height while being close to the end of the next transfer conveyor.

[Action]

Since the height of the end of the peeling conveyor can be adjusted in the automatic frying device according to the present invention, the size of the frying material can be changed by adjusting the head of the frying material according to the size of the frying material. You can expect a certain reversal.

〔Example〕

1 and 2 are a front view and a side view of an inverted portion of the automatic frying device according to the present invention. The same or similar portions as those in FIG. 4 are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.

In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, (8) is a peeling conveyor in which the starting end of the primary transfer conveyor (3) is provided close to the end of the primary transfer conveyor (3), and a belt is provided between two rollers (9) and (10) (11) is stretched endlessly. The shaft (12) of the starting end side roller (9) is rotatably supported by the frame (13) via the bearing member (14), and the power transfer mechanism (15) is provided by the primary transfer conveyor (3).
It is rotationally driven via. Axis (1) of the end roller (10)
6) is rotatably supported on the tip of the swing arm (17) via a bearing member (18), and the base end of the swing arm (17) moves vertically on the shaft (12) of the starting end side roller (9). It is swingably supported by. The swing arm (17) is suspended and supported by a strut (19) standing on the frame (17) via a striation (20) such as a chain or wire, and the strut (20) to the strut (19) is supported. ) Is moved up and down, the shaft (12) of the starting roller (9)
It is possible to adjust the height of the end of the peeling conveyor (8) by swinging upward or downward around the fulcrum.

The above is the configuration of the automatic frying device according to the present invention,
Next, the operation will be described.

After the frying material is fried on one side in the primary oil tank (1), the primary transfer conveyor (3) is moved to the end of the primary transfer conveyor (3) by the peeling conveyor (8) provided close to the starting end. It is peeled off and transferred to the peeling conveyor (8), and it is transferred onto the secondary oil tank (5) by riding on the peeling conveyor. When the fried food material reaches the end of the peeling conveyor (8), it falls into the oil (6) in the secondary oil tank (5) due to its own weight,
During the fall, the fried food material is turned over by itself. At this time, if the height of the end of the peeling conveyor (8) is adjusted in advance according to the size of the fried food material, the drop required for inverting the fried food material is obtained, and the fried food material is reliably inverted. The fried material thus reliably inverted is fried on the other side in the secondary oil tank (5), and the secondary transfer conveyor (7)
It is taken out as fried food from the end of. Therefore, the finished fried food is a good product with the surface being evenly fried and having no front and back sides.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the swinging arm (17) of the peeling conveyor (8) is suspended and supported by the pillar (19) standing on the frame (13) via the strip (20) such as a chain or wire, The height of the end of the peeling conveyor (8) is adjusted by moving up and down the mounting height of the strip (20) to the column (19), but this invention is not limited to this. As shown in FIG. 3, a long hole (22) is formed in a column (21) standing on the secondary oil tank (5), and a swing arm (17) is formed in this long hole (22).
The bolt (23) protruding from the free end side of the is fitted and the nut (24) is fastened to the bolt (23) to support the swing arm (17) of the peeling conveyor (8) on the support column (21). The height of the end of the peeling conveyor (8) may be adjusted by moving the height of the fastening of the column (17) to the column (21) up and down.

[Effect of device]

According to the automatic fried food frying device according to the present invention, when the fried food material is dropped and inverted, it is possible to adjust the head of the fried food material according to the size. It can be expected to be turned over, and the finished fried food is a good product with a uniform surface frying state and no front and back sides.
