Description

Closed Type Smokeless Automatic Fryer}

The present invention relates to a closed-type smokeless automatic fryer, and more particularly, it is equipped with its own eco-friendly exhaust filter to absorb most of the odor and oil vapor generated during frying, so it can be used in stores where no hood and duct are installed, Since the heater is manufactured in a separate type from the main body, the tank and the heater are easily separated during cleaning, making it much easier to clean, and the whole process of frying is completed automatically by putting the fried ingredients into the tank. , This cooking process is not an open space, but in a closed structured space that is blocked from the outside, and relates to a new type of sealed smokeless automatic frying device that can reduce the oil vapor and the smell of frying as much as possible.

In general, fried chicken is a dish of chicken being cut into pieces, covered with flour, etc., and fried in boiling frying oil, such as fried chicken.

In order to cook such a chicken, it is completed by going through various cooking steps such as washing, salting, betting, brading, sheathing, frying, and baking. As a result, it takes a considerable amount of time to cook, and it is having a negative impact on profitability for chain stores. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an automatic device for cooking chicken, and through this, it is necessary to improve the productivity of chicken stores as well as chicken chain stores.

However, the conventional chicken cooking apparatus only pays attention to the oil temperature for frying, has a limitation to improve the quality of frying of chicken, and still entails loss of manpower and subsidiary materials required for the frying process, and It had a problem that it could not contribute properly to automation.

On the other hand, the general open (open) type frying device has a problem in that the frying temperature can be set, but the time cannot be controlled, so that a person must continue to care. In addition, there is a risk of burns due to oil splashing around the frying device, and there is a problem that the frying device is always dirty. In addition, if the chicken pieces, etc. are not removed from the frying container (not shown) at a predetermined time or a desired cooking time or an appropriate cooking time from the frying device, there is a problem that it becomes excessively crispy, becomes hard, and the texture decreases.

In addition, a general closed-type fryer has a device that lifts (lifts) the oil container inside, so it is complicated and it is difficult to change the oil in the frying container. In addition, for this reason, it is difficult to clean the inside of the frying container and there is an unsanitary problem. In addition, when replacing oil or cleaning, the heater (not shown) must be removed from the body, but there is a risk of fire and electric shock due to an electrical short often occurring in the separated part. In addition, although there is a filter, there is a problem in that an eye sore or a sore throat may occur because the odor generated inside the fryer cannot be sufficiently filtered.

In addition, in the case of the existing open type fryer, since oxygen can be sufficiently supplied during the first fire of the fryer, the flame spreads and rises to the ceiling, leading to a second fire, resulting in a large fire damage.
