Automatic fryer

The invention relates to a fryer, in particular to an automatic fryer capable of automatically adding oil.

The fryer is currently widely used in the catering and food related industries, and is mainly used for frying the ingredients. For example, the new patent case of the "automatic fritters" of the Republic of China Bulletin No. 472522 is an example. The automatic fritters disclosed in the case mainly consist of a retaining frame lower than the oil surface in a frying box. The retaining frame is set to be opposite. Compared with the lower end of the noodle embryo body, the front end is lower, and the rear end portion is higher, and two partition plates are arranged on both sides of the baffle, and the front side panel of the noodle embryo body in the frying box has a diagonal block. The frame has a lower inclination than the front end portion, and a receiving wheel disposed at the rear end portion of the retaining frame and partially lowering the oil surface below the retaining frame. Thereby, the noodle embryo body is placed in the bottom pan from the front side inclined panel and slides down to the bottom of the oil surface, and after the hot-expansion expansion of the noodle embryo body, it can be located between the two side plates and is completely pressed by the retaining frame. Immerse in the oil and continue to heat-explode, and use the buoyancy and the front low and high rear block to make the fried fritters float back to the receiving wheel in sequence, and then take the rotating wheel to rotate the wheel with its radial wheel. Leaf pick up the finished fritters.

Although the above automatic fritters can provide the function of automatically frying the fritters, due to the lack of automatic oil-filling structure design, after the frying for a period of time, when the amount of oil gradually decreases with the oil content of the ingredients, it is necessary to manually add the oil. In addition, when replacing old oil, it is also necessary to rely on manual addition of oil. Because the oil drum is quite heavy, manual oiling or oil change is quite laborious and time consuming. In addition, after the storm of toxic oil news, consumers will pay special attention to the brand and quality of the oil used by the store when purchasing fried foods. Many inquiries at the time of purchase will require the store to respond one by one, which will also affect business or frying. The work is carried out.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an automatic fryer capable of automatically adding oil and allowing the consumer to clearly understand the source of the oil.

Therefore, the automatic fryer of the present invention is used for frying most of the to-be-refrigerated material to form a plurality of cooked fry. The automatic fryer includes a frying box, a dialing unit, an oil supply unit, and an automatic oiling device. unit.

The fryer has an oil sump, and the waiting fry is placed in the fryer to be fried to form the cooked fry.

The dialing unit includes a rotating wheel partially extending in the oil sump, and a driving source for driving the rotating wheel, and the rotation of the rotating wheel is used to dial the waiting bombing in the oil sump And then the cooked fried material that has been cooked is pulled out of the fryer.

The oil supply unit comprises an oil drum having an oil outlet, and an oil delivery pipe, wherein the oil drum is filled with oil, and one end of the oil pipe is connected to the oil outlet and the other end is inserted into the oil sump.

The automatic oiling unit comprises an oil level detecting component and a control valve, wherein the oil surface detecting component is connected to the frying tank, and the control valve is connected to the oil feeding unit, and the oil surface detecting component senses The oil level in the oil sump is such that the control valve controls the opening and closing of the oil supply unit.

The effect of the invention is that the oil level detecting component senses the oil level in the oil sump, so that the control valve can control the opening and closing of the oil supply unit, and the oil surface detecting component senses the above When the oil level in the oil tank is lowered to a position where the oil needs to be added, the control valve controls the oil supply unit to be opened, so that the oil in the oil tank can be input into the oil tank through the oil pipeline for oiling. action. Conversely, when the oil level detecting component senses that the oil level in the oil sump has risen to a position where the preset oil filling is stopped, the control valve controls the oil supply unit to close to stop the oil sump Add oil. This can really provide the effect of automatic oiling. In addition, the oil drum with the oil supply unit is directly set up near the frying tank, so that consumers can clearly understand the source and quality of the oil, so that they can be safely consumed.

The water level (ie, the fuel pipe 3 is filled in the bypass pipe 241), the pressing force of the top mast 2422 of the actuating member 242 for the control lever 2441 of the touch switch 244 is sufficient to actuate the touch switch 244 to switch to a closed state, thereby When the control valve 243 is interlocked, the trigger member 242 has reached the stop position, and the oil 3 in the oil drum 232 is not input to the oil sump 211 via the oil delivery pipe 233. In this way, the oil filling operation of the oil sump 211 is completed.

Referring to the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth drawings, the dialing unit 22 can be activated, and the driving source 222 drives the rotating wheel 221 to rotate as shown by the hollow arrow in the figure, and the user can Waiting for the explosive 11 to be placed on the feed plate 212, the waiting waste 11 can be further slid into the oil sump 211 along the feed plate 212 for frying, and the blades 224 as the wheel 221 rotates. The waiting explosive 11 located in the oil sump 211 can be pulled, and the discharging plate 213 is inclined, and when any one of the blades 224 is aligned with the discharging plate 213, the cooked fried materials are fried. 12, the blade 224 can be pushed down to the product tray 213 to slide down to the finished product barrel 44.

As shown in the tenth and fourteenth drawings, the bottom of the finished product drum 44 is formed into an inclined surface shape, and a plurality of oil drain holes 441 are provided at the settlement portion, and the oil contained in the cooked explosives 12 is attached. The sump 45 can be dropped through the drain holes 441.

Referring to Figures 6, 7, and 8, as the frying operation continues, each batch of cooked explosives 12 (see Figure 13) will carry some oil, thus making the oil sump 211 (see the tenth The oil 3 in the three figures will gradually decrease, the oil level 3 in the bypass pipe 241 will also drop, and the trigger member 242 will be synchronously lowered and displaced, when the top mast 2422 of the actuating member 242 is separated from the control rod. At 2441, the touch switch 244 is switched to be in an open state, and the control valve 243 is also in an open state. At this time, the oil 3 in the oil drum 232 can be input into the oil sump 211 by the oil delivery pipe 233 for automatic oiling. The operation, until the trigger member 242 returns to the stop position as described above, the automatic oiling unit 24 stops the automatic oiling.

In summary, the automatic fryer of the present invention is designed to communicate with the oil sump 211 through the lower opening 2412 by the above-mentioned structural design, and the oil sump 211 and the side are based on the function of the communication pipe. The level of the oil 3 in the through-tube 241 will be the same. When the actuator 242 is displaced to the filling position as the level of the oil 3 in the bypass pipe 241 is lowered, the touch switch 244 is released. The touch switch 244 is opened, and the control valve 243 is also actuated. The oil 3 in the oil drum 232 can be input into the oil sump 211 via the oil pipe 233 for automatic oiling operation. On the contrary, when the trigger member 242 is displaced to the stop position as the liquid level of the oil 3 in the bypass pipe 241 rises, the touch switch 244 is stopped and the control valve 243 is actuated to be closed, and the automatic oiling unit 24 is immediately Stop adding oil to the oil sump 211. This can really provide the effect of automatic oiling. In addition, the oil drum 232 with the oil supply unit is directly set up near the fryer 21, so that the consumer can clearly know the source and quality of the oil material 3, so that the consumption can be more assured.
