[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional frying machine is a model box in which a long and narrow box, which is divided by the width of frying, is divided into a size for one frying, connected to an endless chain, and wound around a sprocket wheel for rotation. The fried dough is supplied at a position where the fried dough turns upward, and the fried dough is fried while the mold box is turned upside down and dipped in the oil tank to rotate.

[0003] In most cases, the frying dough has been conventionally supplied manually by hand. However, the production capacity of the frying equipment is 3000 to 1 hour.
It is 5000 sheets, and the work of supplying the frying dough together with this is a heavy work that is considerably burdened under a bad environment filled with high temperature and fume of oil.

For this reason, a device for mechanically supplying the frying dough has been proposed. For example, a device for supplying the frying dough in which a suction cup is attached to the tip of an arm opened at equal intervals and cut is proposed. In addition, it is proposed that the deep-fried dough is stacked side by side and is supplied in order from the bottom.

[0005]

However, the former method of using the arm and the suction cup is large in size and expensive, and the latter method of stacking the fried dough sideways is 5 times the thickness of the fried dough itself. There is a variation of up to 8 mm, which has the drawback of damaging the deep-fried dough on the dough when the thin dough is thrown off.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems related to the supply of the fried dough to the fried food production apparatus for producing a large amount of fried food. Even if the thickness of the fried food is uneven, a large amount of fried food is fried. It is an object of the present invention to provide a deep-fried dough feeding device capable of automatically feeding dough without requiring human labor.

[0007]

According to the fried dough feeding device of the present invention, the fried dough is slanted downward in the conveying direction, and the fried dough is erected side by side and is intermittently conveyed by at least the thickness of the fried dough. The frying dough conveyor for supplying the frying dough to the frying / falling device by means of the frying dough conveyor, and the frying dough at the forward position after receiving the feeding of the frying dough at the forward position, provided so as to be movable back and forth, facing the conveying end of the frying dough conveyor. And a frying dough dropping device for dropping the dough into the conveyor.

[0008]

Function The fried dough is placed upright on the fried dough conveyor which is inclined downward in the conveying direction. Since the frying dough conveyor is inclined downward in the conveying direction, if the rollers etc. are placed behind the frying dough arranged, the rollers will bias in the conveying direction so that the frying dough will not fall down.
The fried dough is conveyed to the last one without falling.

When the frying dough conveyor intermittently conveys the frying dough by at least the thickness of the frying dough, the frying dough is provided so as to be movable back and forth facing the conveying end of the conveyor and is fed to the frying dough dropping device at the forward position. It At that time, the frying dough is usually conveyed by several mm more than the average thickness of the frying dough, so even if the frying dough has a large or small thickness or there is a gap when placing the frying dough, The dough is fed to the frying and dropping device without any gap.

The frying and dropping device is mounted so as to be movable back and forth with respect to the conveying direction of the frying dough conveyer, receives the feeding of the frying dough at the forward position, and then moves back to move between the frying dough and the conveyor at the backward position. Since the fried dough is dropped onto the fried dough and there is a gap between the fried dough and the fried dough that is in contact with it, the fried dough is easy to drop, and the fried dough is not caught on the end of the conveyor, and is put in the mold box of the fried making machine. Can fall. The frying dough feeding device is connected in several rows horizontally according to the number of frames of the mold box of the frying manufacturing device.
