Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a deep-fried dough feeding device capable of automatically feeding a large amount of deep-fried dough to a deep-frying production device.

[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 food is turned upwards and rotated, and the fried dough is fried while the mold box is inverted and turned downward to rotate under the oil tank.

[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 present invention, there is provided a frying dough feeding device, which comprises a frying dough which is placed upright and placed side by side, and which conveys the frying dough intermittently at least by the thickness of the frying dough in a slippable state. It is provided with a suction plate so as to be movable back and forth facing the transport end of the transport conveyor, adsorbs the frying dough at the forward position, and then retreats and drops the frying dough at the backward position to deposit the frying dough between the transport conveyor. The gist is that it is composed of a suction device for dropping.

[0008]

[Function] The fried dough is placed upright on the conveyor. Since the adsorption device is initially in the forward position, when the conveyor conveys the deep-fried dough intermittently by at least the thickness of the deep-fried dough, the deep-fried dough is provided so as to be movable back and forth facing the conveying end of the convey conveyor, and is in the forward position. The frying dough arranged at the top comes into contact with the suction plate of an adsorption device.

At this time, since the fried dough is usually conveyed by several mm more than the average thickness of the fried dough, even if the thickness of the fried dough is large or there is a gap when placing the fried dough, The frying dough at the top surely contacts the suction cup. In addition, since the frying dough at the top that is in contact with the suction cup causes a slip between the frying dough and the conveyor, the frying dough is supplied to the suction device without a gap.

The adsorption device is equipped with an adsorption plate and is attached so as to be movable back and forth with respect to the conveyance direction of the conveyor, and after the frying dough is supplied at the forward position to adsorb the frying dough,
Since the frying dough is dropped from the suction cup between the frying dough and the transport conveyor at the backward position, the frying dough and the frying dough that is in contact with it are separated from each other, making it easier to drop the frying dough. The dough can be dropped into the fryer's mold box without being caught on the end of the conveyor. 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.
