Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an automatic tempura pot that continuously and automatically frys a dough formed into a flat, rod-shaped, spherical, etc. shape into a dough while immersing it in heated oil.

Conventional automatic tempura pots that use multi-stage conveyors are the automatic tempura frying machine (Utility Model Publication No. 38-21289) and the initial heating device of the fried kamaboko making machine (Utility Model Publication No. 1973-21289).
No. 33491) and multi-stage automatic lifting machine (utilized in 1989-691)
No. 84), a conveyor was installed to supply the forming dough to the bottom of the oil tank and transport it upward while frying.

Therefore, when turning the forming material from the bottom conveyor to the upper conveyor, it is called upward turning, and this must be done by utilizing the buoyancy of the forming material. If the material is transferred to the final end of the lower conveyor without sufficient buoyancy with respect to the oil, the forming material will remain in this turning section,
It had the serious drawback of being completely impossible to manufacture.

In other words, when using the automatic tempura pot, either raise the oil temperature to a high temperature to remove water during the short time it passes through the lower conveyor, or slow down the conveyor speed to extend the time that passes through the lower conveyor. Or, the product must satisfy at least one of the following conditions: Avoid molding that is difficult for heat to pass through, such as a ball or ball, and use a molding material that allows heat to pass through easily, such as a dried dough. If the oil temperature is set to a high temperature, the tempura will not sit and will not have elasticity, resulting in inferior quality tempura.If the conveyor speed is slowed down, even though it is an automatic machine, This has the disadvantage that the manufacturing capacity is significantly lowered, and when it is used as a molded raw material with good heat conduction, it is not possible to produce tempura like tempura balls or ball tempuras, resulting in product restrictions.

In this way, conventional automatic tempura pots are high quality, highly efficient, and
Some of them did not satisfy the practical requirement of moldability.

On the other hand, an automatic frying device for dough products (Utility Model Publication No. 1983-50579) is known, which is equipped with a conveyor configured to transfer the molded dough material downward from the top to the bottom of the oil tank. However, since this system has a large number of separate conveyors arranged for each transfer path, the feeding section for forming and kneading raw materials is located far away from one end of the oil tank, and the oil tank cannot be cleaned by the raw material supply conveyor placed above the oil tank. This has the disadvantage that it is difficult to transfer the feed material and requires an extension of the supply conveyor.Also, since the bottom stage is transferred through a passageway between the bottom of the oil tank and the conveyor, the raw material is always floating during this transfer. Otherwise, the conveyor cannot be transferred, and smooth transfer is subject to constraints such as oil temperature.Also, the conveyor has protrusions for pushing, which can damage the flexible forming material. Furthermore, since each turning section protrudes from the oil surface, the effective length of the transfer submerged in oil is considerably shortened.

This project is a result of intensive research in view of the drawbacks of conventional automatic tempura pots as mentioned above, and has completed an automatic tempura pot with a completely new structure.The purpose of this project is to The object of the present invention is to provide a practical and useful automatic tempura pot that can produce high-quality dough from formed dough with high efficiency.

Next, the tempura pot of the present invention will be described in detail below using an example of implementation shown in the drawings.

First, the configuration will be explained with reference to a vertical side view of the embodiment shown in FIG. .3' and the same conveyor bell) 3.3'
An upper transfer belt 3a, a middle transfer passage 3b, and a lower transfer passage 3C are formed by this.

3. Describing the three-stage transfer path formed by 3', first, the upper transfer bell)
3a is a device for placing and transferring the forming material in a state of being immersed in oil from a position close to one end 2a of the oil tank 2;
By adopting a conveyor belt 3 that winds close to a, the upper transfer bell is placed close to one end 2a of the oil tank 2)-3.
In addition, since the forming material has its own weight at the initial stage of being immersed in oil, it does not require a presser from above and only requires a belt on the lower surface side.

Next, the middle transfer passage 3b is formed by opposing belts and is used to transfer the forming material in a turned state, and is formed by winding and stretching two conveyor belts 3 and 3'. Due to its own weight, it is transferred to the belt 3' on the lower surface side in a mounted state, or it is transferred to the belt 3 in a floating liquid state.

Next, the lower transfer passage 3C is formed by opposing belts, and is used to pull up and transfer the paste from the oil at the other end 2b of the oil tank 2. A certain distance is horizontal transfer, and at the terminal end, it is diagonally upward toward the other end 2b. The raw material for forming is transferred to
During the course of the passage 3C, the liquid is transferred to the upper belt 3' in a floating liquid state, or from the beginning after being transferred to the passage 3C, it is transferred to the upper belt 3' in a floating liquid state.

A downward transfer structure is formed by the upper transfer bell) 3a, the middle transfer passage 3b, the middle transfer passage 3b, and the lower transfer passage 3C.

In the embodiment, the turning portion between the upper transfer bell 3a and the middle transfer passage 3b is made to protrude from the oil surface to prevent the forming material from dispersing into the oil and ensure reliable material transfer. In addition, the forming material transfer passages 3b and 3C are designed to
The other opposed belts 3, 3 and 3', 3' are formed with narrow intervals, thereby reducing the amount of oil filled into the oil tank 2 and reducing the amount of heat consumed by the heat source 1. It is something that exists.

Above, the configuration of the tempura pot of the present invention has been explained using the examples.
By adding , it is also possible to create a multi-stage downward transfer structure other than three stages, such as by penetrating.

Next, we will explain the configuration of the two-barrel automatic tempura pot, which is an example of the application of the proposed automatic tempura pot shown in Figures 2 and 3. First, regarding the next side tempura pot, 4 is a conveyor. 5 is a conveyor frame that can be raised and lowered freely, 6 is a motor with a reducer for raising and lowering the open frame 5, 7 is a wire for raising and lowering, 8
1 is an oil tank, 9 is a pump for feeding oil from the oil tank 2 to the tank 8, 10 is a gutter for oil flow, 11 is a machine frame, and 12 is a gas combustion blower.

Regarding the automatic tempura pot on the secondary side, 13 is an oil tank;
14 is a paddle frame, 15 is a large number of paddles, 16 is a product discharge conveyor, 17 is a gas burner pipe, 18 is a machine frame,
19 is an electric motor with a reducer for lifting the paddle frame 14, 20 is a lifting wire, 21 is an oil tank, 22 is an oil pump, 2
3 is an oil flow pipe; 24 is an electric motor with a reduction gear for driving the paddle 15 and the conveyor 16;

Therefore, when manufacturing the dough M from the molded dough m using the tempura pot of the present invention, as shown in FIG.
a to the upper transfer bell) 3a.

Then, in the same belt 3a, the raw material m is placed and transferred while immersed in oil, and at the turning part at the end of the belt 3a, the raw material m is turned over by its own weight to form the next intermediate transfer passage 3b. It is supplied to the side belt 3'.

Then, in the middle transfer passage 3b, the forming material m is transferred to the lower belt 3' in a loaded state or to the upper belt 3 in a floating state by turning in the opposite direction to the upper transfer bell)-3a. At the turning point at the end of the passage 3b, the raw material m is reversed due to its own weight, the force of floating liquid on the belt 3, mutual pushing of the raw materials, etc., while reliably forming the next lower transfer passage 3C) 3.3' Supplied.

In the lower transfer passage 3C, the lower belt 3' is transferred from the beginning to the upper belt 3' until it is transferred in a floating liquid state or until the forming material m has enough buoyancy to float on the oil.
It is transferred to the upper belt 3 when it has buoyancy.
The oil is transferred as a floating liquid to ', and then transferred upward, and when it comes out of the oil surface, it is placed on the lower belt 3 and transferred to produce a paste product M.

In addition, in the double-barrel automatic tempura frying pan, following the production of the paste product M, the same product M is supplied to the secondary automatic tempura frying pan, and during synchronization, the product M is fed into the hot oil using a paddle 15 (oscillating). It may also be a plate, a conveyor belt, etc.

) to finish the product as a secondary refined product.

As described above, in the tempura hotpot of the present invention, since the forming raw material m can be supplied from one end 2a of the oil tank 2, there is no need to extend the raw material supply conveyor 25, and the oil tank 2 can be easily cleaned. , and can be supplied to the upper transfer bell (3a) in an orderly manner.

In addition, by changing the multi-stage transfer by the conveyor belt 3.3' to downward transfer, the forming material m is sufficiently heated by its own weight or across the two stages of the upper and middle stages at the turning section from the middle-stage transport passage 3b to the lower-stage transport passage 3C. In order to achieve reliable turning by mutual pushing of the raw materials without mutual adhesion due to receiving, smoothness of the transfer can be ensured without the raw materials m being stagnated during the transfer.

In addition, the tempura pot of this idea is used as an example of the upper transfer bell)
3a and the middle transfer passage 3b, the oil temperature is set at a low temperature (usually about 120 to 140°C, although it varies depending on the shape of the raw material) because it is not necessary to provide buoyancy to the point where the forming material m floats on the oil. A synergistic effect of the long time elapsed over the two upper and middle stages and the low oil temperature causes the product to sit, making it possible to produce a high-quality dough product M with elasticity.

Since the multi-stage transfer structure increases the effective length of the oil immersion transfer, the speed of the conveyor belt 3, which depends on the effective length, can be increased, and the paste product M can be manufactured with high efficiency.

Furthermore, depending on the shape of the raw material, there are shapes that allow heat to pass through easily and shapes that do not allow heat to pass through, but these can be handled by adjusting the set oil temperature and the conveyor speed. A paste product M can be produced from the paste.

Since the tempura pot of the present invention can be configured and used as described above, it has an outstanding effect of being able to produce high-quality dough M with high efficiency from various molded dough materials M.

Further, it has practical effects such as being able to orderly supply the forming material m to the upper transfer bell (3a) and ensuring smooth transfer of the product.

In addition, the proposed tempura pot can be used to make tempura independently by selecting the oil temperature and conveyor speed, and it also has the usefulness of being able to be used as the primary side pot of a double-barreled automatic tempura pot. It is something.
