Description

Oil Filtration Apparatus

The present invention relates to an oil refiner, and to an oil refiner that increases the refining efficiency of oil used for frying or cooking food, and improves convenience and safety of use.

In general, as the number of times of repeated use of frying oil (vegetable oil) used for frying increases, animal fats and oils from meat and fish such as chicken, pork, and shrimp, as well as frying powder, starch, egg, and breadcrumbs As they fall, the carbide mixes together, making the frying oil cloudy and degrading the taste. Frying dishes using contaminated frying oil are not good for health because of the frequent reuse.

Therefore, put the oil refiner in the lower part of the fryer, put the used oil in the fryer into the oil refiner, filter the used oil with the filter in the oil refiner, and then pump the filtered oil into the fryer through the drain hose. method to refine frying oil.

Since the temperature of the oil injected into the oil refiner is about 170° before and after the oil refinement, the user's stability is required during oil refining.

However, since the conventional oil purifier is usually located at the bottom of the fryer and the power switch to drive the refiner is provided in the purifier body, when refining oil, the user holds the drain hose with one hand so that the outlet of the drain hose is located inside the fryer. In this state, turn on the power switch on the main body of the tablet with the other hand to drive the tablet.

At this time, the distance between the power switch and the oil drain hose provided in the purifier body is far, which makes it inconvenient to use, and to turn on the power switch of the purifier, you have to bring your hand close to the purifier body containing hot oil, so there is a safety problem. In the process of turning on the power switch of the refiner, if the outlet of the drain hose is not located in the fryer due to the user's carelessness, there is a problem that the refined oil may be discharged to the outside.

In addition, there is a problem that a safety accident may occur due to a short circuit or a short circuit when oil is applied to the power switch provided in the main body of the purifier.

In this case, the switch operation unit 400 may include a power switch, a drain valve, and a drain valve control switch of the main body.

The operation of the oil purifier provided as described above will be described as follows.

First, put the filter 112 on the filter plate 113 located at the bottom of the tank 110, put the filter presser 114 on the filter 112, and then attach the filter presser 114 to the presser fixing bracket ( 115) so that a gap does not occur between the filter 112 and the filter plate 113.

Next, the oil to be refined is put into the tank 110 , and the oil drain pipe 230 is directed toward the inside of the fryer in the direction in which the refined oil is discharged by holding the handle 300 provided in the oil drain hose 200 . ), and then the power switch is turned on in the switch operation unit 400 provided in the handle unit 300 to drive the circulation pump 150 .

Then, the oil to be refined passes through the filter 112 by the driving of the circulation pump 150 and the residue is filtered, and the refined oil is purified by the pipe 130 and the hose 220 of the oil drain hose 200. It is discharged to the oil drain pipe 230 through the.

Then, when the purification is finished, the power switch is turned off in the switch operation unit 400 provided in the handle part 300 to stop the operation of the circulation pump 150 and the filter pusher 114 fixed to the pusher fixing bracket 115 . Remove the filter pusher 114 by releasing the fixation, and then take out the used filter 112 and remove it.

As described above, the present invention is provided with a switch operation part in the handle part provided in the oil drain hose part to facilitate operation of the switch for controlling the operation of the purifier, thereby improving the convenience of use of the purifier and improving the stability of the user.

In addition, there is no risk of a short circuit or a short circuit by not getting oil on the switch, and safety accidents such as burns can be prevented in advance because it is not necessary to bring the user's hand close to the body in which the hot oil is stored.
