Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a material transfer conveyor in a deep-frying machine that can automatically deep-fry materials such as fries and Satsuma-age.

(Prior art) An example of the prior art of this type of frying machine is:
There is a deep-frying machine such as the Satsuma-age described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-53732, which was invented by the same applicant. First, we will give an overview of the frying machine in this publication.
In FIG. 1 schematically showing a frying machine in a plan view and FIG. 2 schematically showing the same front view, the pot body 10 is a round pot portion 1.
1 and its round pot part 11 from the rear to the side (right side in the figure)
It is formed into a tank shape consisting of a long pot part 12 which is continuous with the tank, and cooking oil FO is stored in the tank. A combustion device (not shown) is installed below the pot body 10. A rotary plate 13 is provided at the bottom of the round pot portion 11 so as to be horizontally rotatable.
3 is actively rotated in a clockwise direction (see arrow in FIG. 1) in a plane by a rotational drive source (not shown) connected via its shaft 14. Also,
The long pot portion 12 includes a pair of transfer members 15 and 16.
is installed to move like a bicycle pedal, and a discharge conveyor 17 is provided in an inclined manner at the right end of the same-length pan section 12. Said round pot part 1
Materials S such as fries and Satsuma-age are put into the cooking oil FO at the front part of 1, and are transferred in a clockwise direction on a plane by the rotation of the rotary plate 13, and linearly to the right by transfer members 15 and 16. After being fried while being transported, it is discharged from the pot body 10 by a discharge conveyor 17.

Therefore, in the round pot part 11 of the pot body 10,
The material transfer conveyor 18, which will be described in detail next, is connected to the long pan section 12.
is installed close to. Material transfer conveyor 1
8, a rear side plate 20 is fixed to the rear side wall of the pot body 10, and a front side plate 19 is attached in parallel via stay bolts 21, 21. A drive shaft 22 and a driven shaft 23 parallel to the drive shaft 22 are installed at the left and right ends of the side plates 19 and 20. Each axis 2
Sprockets 24, 24 are installed at the front and rear ends of 2, 23.
are fixed to the sprockets 24, 24 of both shafts 22, 23, respectively, and endless front and rear chains 25, 26 are hung thereon, respectively. As shown in FIG. 4, between both chains 25 and 26, an appropriate number of connecting rods 27 on which plate-shaped banner members 28 are rotatably suspended are installed at predetermined intervals. . By the material transfer conveyor 18 configured in this way, the round pot portion 11
The material S which is being transferred is transferred to the long pan section 12.

However, in the case of the material transfer conveyor 18 described above, depending on the properties of the material S and the degree of frying, the transfer force in the rotational direction of the material S due to the rotational force of the rotary plate 13 and the flow of the cooking oil FO may be affected by the transfer of the same material. When the same raw material S overcomes the transport force by the banner member 28 of the conveyor 18 and collides with the front side plate 19 (the side plate located on the downstream side of the flow of cooking oil FO in the round pot section 11), the front side plate 19 and the banner member 28 Due to the relative movement with the material S, the material S sometimes loses its shape.

(Objective of the Invention) Therefore, this invention was proposed in view of the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and its purpose is to prevent the material from moving from the rotational direction to the linear direction during frying in the deep-frying machine. To provide a material transfer conveyor capable of smoothly moving the same material and preventing the material from deforming.

(Structure of the Invention) To achieve the above object, the present invention includes a round pot part and a long pot part continuous to the round pot part, and a combustion device is installed below the pot body in which cooking oil is stored. A rotary plate is provided at the bottom of the round pot section so as to be horizontally rotatable, and a discharge conveyor is provided in an inclined manner at the long pot section, and the material fed into the round pot section is conveyed by the rotating plate. In a frying machine of the type in which the tofu is fried while being transferred and then discharged from the pot body by a discharge conveyor in the long pot part, the round pot part of the pot body has two parallel side plates close to the long pot part. A drive shaft and a driven shaft parallel to the drive shaft are installed between the two side plates, and a sprocket is fixed to each shaft, and the sprockets of both shafts are formed in an endless shape. Chains are hung on each chain, and an appropriate number of connecting rods with hanging curtain members attached to them are installed at predetermined intervals between both chains, and the material being transferred on the rotating plate is lengthened. The material transfer conveyor is configured to transfer the material to a pot section, and the chain located downstream of the round pot section is provided with an appropriate number of guide members with which the material to be transferred comes into contact. This is a summary of what was done.

(Embodiment) An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 5 to 8. In this example, since the material transfer conveyor 18 of the oil frying machine described above is improved, the same parts will be denoted by the same reference numerals and the explanation thereof will be omitted, and only the different parts will be described in detail. In FIG. 5, which schematically shows the lower running part of the material transfer conveyor 18 in plan view, and FIG. 6, which schematically shows the same side surface, the round pot part 1 of the pot body 10 is
An appropriate number of guide members 29 to 29 are attached to the chain 25 located on the downstream side in 1, that is, the front chain 25, in a suspended manner at approximately equal intervals.

This guide member is attached to the chain 25 as follows.
installed on. That is, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, as is well known, the chain 25 has connecting pieces 31, 31 pivoted on both ends of a pin 30, and the connecting pieces 31, 31 are connected in a continuous manner. . Of these connecting pieces 31 to 31, two to
Attachment portions 32 that protrude horizontally are integrally formed at the lower ends of every three connecting pieces 31. A guide member 29 is attached to this attachment portion 32 with screws 33 and nuts 34. The guide member 29 includes a support portion 35 that is in contact with the attachment portion 32 of the connecting piece 31, and a hanging portion 36 that is continuous with the support portion 35 and bent downward. A guide portion 37 extends rearward from the hanging portion 36, and its tip is curved to the left (against the direction of travel).

According to the material transfer conveyor 18 described above, the material S transferred by the rotation of the rotary plate 13 of the frying machine is transferred by the rotation of the rotary plate 13 and the cooking oil FO.
Transfer force in the rotational direction due to the flow (arrow A in Fig. 5)
reference. ), the material S tries to flow in that direction, but the material S flows through each guide portion 37 of the guide members 29 to 29.
〜37, but this guide member 29〜
29 travels together with the banner member 28 through the chain 25, thereby being smoothly transferred to the right (see arrow B in FIG. 5).

Note that the shape of the guide member 29 is not limited to that of the embodiment, and may be, for example, a rod shape, a flat plate shape, or the like. Further, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the banner member 28 may be made of a metal net instead of a plate material, or the connecting rod 2
In some cases, a metal holding net 38 may be stretched between 7 and 27.

(Effect of the invention) In other words, this invention has the above-mentioned "structure of the invention"
Therefore, when the material being fried in the frying machine moves from the rotational direction to the linear direction, the material can be smoothly moved while being guided by the guide member. Therefore, it prevents the material from losing its shape due to conventional methods,
You can get high quality products.
