Abstract

PURPOSE:To fry food favorably by eliminating hard works for recovering the dregs of fried food out of the fryer, and contamination of oil due to the dregs of fried food staying at the bottom section of a frying container, preventing fried food from adhering to a mesh cage in the inside of the frying container, and also preventing fried food from being damaged in shape due to contact with a mesh. CONSTITUTION:In the fryer where frying oil in a frying container 1 is heated by a heating means so as to let food be fried, a stirring means 2 is provided at the bottom section of the frying container 1, the stirring means 2 is composed of stirring vanes 3, and the fryer comprises both a mesh cage 4 and a facing ring 9 whose mesh is coarser than the aforesaid mesh cage, provided in the inside of the frying container 1.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fryer for frying fried foods such as croquette, tempura, and fried oil.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a fryer is of a type in which a predetermined amount of oil is placed in a frying container and heated by a heating source, or of a type in which frying is performed while supplying heated oil to the frying container. .

[0003]

In the former type of fryer, the oil is agitated by natural convection by heating, or artificially agitated. When the frying container is deep or large, the convection of oil is not sufficient, and the frying residue is not easily collected. In addition, oil stains are also generated due to the accumulation of the frying residue at the bottom. Moreover, if a mesh basket is provided inside the frying container to facilitate the collection of the frying or to enable the filtration and collection of the frying residue, the convection of oil will not be easy due to the mesh, and the frying of the frying on the mesh will be difficult. It becomes difficult for the fried food to have a shape due to adhesion and contact with the mesh, and also for artificial stirring.

[0004]

The present invention has solved the above-mentioned conventional problems by adopting the following structure. That is, the fryer is characterized in that the stirring means 2 is provided at the bottom of the frying container 1 in an apparatus for producing deep-fried food by heating the frying oil in the frying container 1 by the heating means.

The stirring means 2 may be a propeller-shaped one, a stirring blade used in a washing machine having a circular plate with irregularities, or the like, but the propeller-shaped one is used in view of stirring efficiency and removal of frying residue. The stirring blade 3 is the most preferable. Further, in the case of a taper wall type frying container having a sloped surface at the bottom, the mounting position is preferably provided with an inclined step portion for mounting a fan stirring blade.

Inside the frying container 1, a mesh basket 4 and a washer 9 having larger meshes are provided.

[0007]

The stirring means 2, especially the stirring blade 3 is provided at the bottom of the frying container 1.
By providing the oil, oil can be forcedly circulated in the frying container 1. In particular, since quick circulation occurs as compared with natural convection, the entire oil warms up quickly, a uniform temperature is maintained, and good fried food can be fried. This means that if two agitating means 2 are provided on the tapered wall so as to face each other, the taper of the frying container 1 enables faster circulation, and frying debris and dust do not remain at the bottom.

Further, since the oil is quickly circulated by the stirring means, the frying residue and dust are always floated on the surface of the oil, so that it can be easily scooped.

As the oil is forcibly circulated by the stirrer, the deep-fried food itself slowly sinks, and it is difficult for the deep-fried food to adhere to the vicinity of the bottom of the deep-fried container 1 and the shape of the deep-fried food is not lost. Further, the fried food does not sink to the bottom due to the co-operation of the stirrer and the mesh basket 4, and the fried food that comes into contact with the washer 9 is made larger by making the washer 9 larger than the mesh basket 4 which is relatively small. It is difficult to attach and the surface is maintained well.

1 is a cross-sectional view of a fryer according to the present invention.
There is a frying container 1 at the top of the fryer body with legs,
The lower part is a tapered wall 5, and the waste oil port 6 is at the bottom.
There is. In the frying container 1, there is a mesh basket 4 supported by a bracket on the upper side so as to be detachable. Further, a burner 7 is provided at the bottom as a means for heating the inside of the frying container 1,
Inside the frying container 1 is an internal burner 10. Oil is free to pass through the mesh basket 4 and the larger washer 9.

An inclined step portion 8 is formed on the lower tapered wall 5 in the frying container.
And the stirring blade 3 is provided. A plurality of stirring blades 3 are provided in this example. When a plurality of such fried foods are provided in this way, the temperature tends to be uniform and the amount of convection rises evenly over the whole, so that the deep-fried food can slowly descend, which is preferable. Details of the mounting structure of the stirring blade 3 can be seen in FIG.
The rotating shaft 3a of the stirring blade 3 is screwed to the inclined step portion 8 of the tapered wall 5 of the frying container 1 by a mounting block 3b having a cooling flange via a bearing. Since the rotating shaft 3a of the stirring blade 3 is provided with the spiral groove portion 3c, a flow is generated in the rotating shaft mounting hole of the frying container 1 in which the oil is tapered by the rotation, and the frying residue is put in this gap. Etc. do not collect. A heat resistant gland packing is used between the rotary shaft 3a and the mounting block 3b. A pulley 3d is provided at the rear end of the rotary shaft 3a, and is rotated by a motor (not shown). This may be directly connected to the motor. The rotation of the plurality of stirring blades 3 can be individually turned on and off by the switch 11,
Furthermore, the number of rotations can be adjusted.

[0012]

Since the fryer of the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, oil is forcibly circulated in the frying container,
The whole oil warms up quickly, maintains a uniform temperature, and is good for frying.

Further, since the frying dust and dust are constantly floated on the surface of the oil due to the rapid circulation of the oil by the stirring means, it is possible to easily scoop and prevent the oil from being soiled and to remove the frying dust and dust. Can be done easily.

Since the deep-fried food is unlikely to adhere to the vicinity of the bottom of the deep-fried container, the apparatus can be easily washed, and the shape of the deep-fried food is not lost. In particular, by providing a washer having meshes larger than that of the mesh basket inside the mesh basket, it is difficult for the fried food to adhere, and no shape is formed on the surface of the fried food.
