Description

Mechanical basket lifting device for automatic fryer}

The present invention relates to a mechanical frying basket lifting device for a fryer. More specifically, it can be easily installed outside the fryer, can be applied to various fryers, and can lift a plurality of frying baskets with a single lifting device. This relates to a mechanical frying basket lifting device for a fryer that can reduce installation and operating costs and ensure space utilization and convenience of frying operations.

Fried dishes in general, especially fried chicken, are one of the most popular foods in Korea.

In this type of frying dish, the cook heats an oil tank, and when the oil rises above a certain temperature, the frying ingredients are added. When cooking is judged to be complete, the frying net submerged in oil is lifted from the oil tank and fried. Take out the water.

In this way, in a conventional fryer, the process of putting frying ingredients into an oil tank and extracting the fried water from the oil tank after a certain period of time is required by the cook and takes a very precise time.

In addition, since the temperature of the oil in the oil tank (about 180℃) is high, the risk of burns during cooking is high and special caution is required, so a lifting means to operate the cooking table is installed vertically on one side of the cooking vessel to minimize the installation area, A lifting device for an automatic fryer has been designed that allows the counter to operate smoothly and cook food safely, and when the lifting bar is not in use, it can be tilted upward so as not to interfere with the use of the counter, causing no inconvenience.

The lifting device of such an automatic fryer is disclosed in Patent Document 1, which includes: a lifting means, a cooking table on which a basket is placed and having a hanging portion at the top of supports attached to both sides; An electric lift that is installed vertically on one side of the cooking vessel and expands and contracts while operating in a straight line; The disclosure includes a lifting bar horizontally coupled to the top of an electric lift and spanning over a hanging portion of a support.

However, Patent Document 1 is difficult to follow-up because the lifting device is installed inside an existing fryer, cannot be used in other fryers, and due to the configuration of the lifting device, it is applied only to a fryer equipped with a single frying basket for frying, so it is not universal. There was a problem with falling.

Patent Document 2 to solve this problem includes a plurality of frying baskets inside; A transfer device installed on one side of the outside of the fryer, the basket guide member being lifted together with the frying basket when lifting the frying basket; A transfer device is installed to be able to transport across the fryer, and an elevating device is installed to be able to move up and down in the vertical direction of the fryer; A hanging member installed on the upper part of the elevating device and capable of being transported back and forth, and holding the basket guide member; The transfer device and the lifting device are controlled, and when a certain period of time elapses, the lifting device rises so that the hanging member grabs the first basket guide member among the basket guide members and lifts it further. Then, when a certain time passes, the lifting device lowers. , a control unit that controls the lifting device to be transferred by a transfer device in order to raise and lower the second basket guide member adjacent to the first basket guide member.

However, since Patent Document 2 includes a control unit and an electric drive member, there is a problem in that the equipment cost increases due to unnecessary automation, and when applied to a business, there is a problem that the user cannot request only the necessary lifting function.
