Description

Water-cooled oil-water separation fryer

The new model relates to a fryer, especially a water-cooled oil-water separation fryer, which can effectively control the temperature of the bottom water area and prevent the occurrence of oil boiling.

Fried food is essential in people's life. Through hot frying in edible oil, the ingredients add a crispy texture and the aromatic oil flavor is enough to bring people more flavors than the ingredients themselves. However, there are some troublesome things in making fried food, such as large consumption of cooking oil and residue of oil residue. Therefore, in the occasions where frying operations are performed every day, such as food stalls or restaurants, the selection of frying equipment must be careful. In order to solve the aforementioned problems, oil-water separation fryers have appeared on the market.

The unique design of the oil-water separation fryer is that its frying tank can be filled with tap water and edible oil at the same time. With the characteristics of oil-water separation, the edible oil is placed on the surface of the tap water and heated to fry the food placed in the frying tank. Food scraps or oil residues will sink from the cooking oil into the tap water under the action of gravity, and the tap water can be drained to clean up. Since the above-mentioned sundries are no longer mixed in the edible oil, the probability of the edible oil being reusable is high, and the cost of oil waste is also saved. However, this oil-water separation fryer has an annoying problem: the oil boils. Oil boiling means that between the oil-water interface, because the temperature of the water exceeds its boiling point, the water vapor will rush to the edible oil, which will cause the edible oil to explode and erupt upward. Since the temperature of the edible oil itself is between 140 and 180 degrees, if the edible oil carried when the oil is boiled splashes on people's skin, it is easy to cause burns.

At present, the oil-water separation fryer sold in the market cannot solve the problem of oil boiling, so the new water-cooled oil-water separation fryer is proposed.

In addition, cold water can be added to the fryer body through the cold water inlet pipe, thereby reducing the water temperature in the fryer body as a whole, and eliminating the occurrence of oil boiling.

The present invention will be described more specifically by referring to the following embodiments.

Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a side view of a water-cooled oil-water separation fryer 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The water-cooled oil-water separation fryer 1 includes: a fryer body 10 , a plurality of support frames 20 , a water circulation combination 30 , a water temperature detection combination 40 , an oil temperature detection combination 50 and a cold water inlet pipe 60 . The types and functions of the aforementioned technical elements will be described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings.

The fryer body 10 is the main body for frying operations, and its external shape is not limited. An opening 11 is defined on the top of the fryer body 10 , and the opening 11 is used for filling water and edible oil. Since FIG. 1 is a side view of the improved oil-water separation fryer 1 , the opening 11 cannot be viewed directly from the direction of FIG. 1 , and its boundary is marked with two dashed lines. In the related drawings, if an element shown by a dotted line has the characteristic that it is blocked by an object and cannot be directly seen, the dotted line indicates the appearance of the element. In order to achieve the purpose of preventing oil boiling, the fryer body 10 has the following designs which are different from the existing fryer. The wall of the fryer body 10 is provided with an oil outlet 12. The oil outlet 12 is used to discharge the edible oil inside the fryer body 10. 2 Oil bodies with suspended residues). In this embodiment, the oil discharge port 12 is located about the lower part of the middle of the fryer body 10 . A drain port 13 is provided below the oil drain port 12 , and the drain port 13 is used to drain the water in the fryer body 10 . According to the present invention, the location of the drain port 13 is preferably at the bottom of the fryer body 10 . In addition, the fryer body 10 also has many communication holes opened at specific positions. Two first communication holes 14 and a second communication hole 15 are defined on the wall at the height between the oil discharge port 12 and the water outlet 13 , and a second communication hole 15 is defined on the wall at the height above the oil discharge port 12 . The first communication hole 14 and the second communication hole 15 are given different names for different devices. A plurality of heating pipes 16 are fixed on the inner wall above the second communication hole 15 on the oil discharge port 12 . There are 6 heating tubes 16 in this embodiment, but these are only examples and are not intended to limit the present invention. In practice, the number of heating pipes 16 can be determined according to actual needs. The heating pipes 16 may communicate with each other, or each may be connected to a heater (not shown). The heater may be of an electric heating type or a combustion type (such as by burning kerosene or burning natural gas to generate heat), and then the heated gas or liquid is circulated in the heating pipe 16 . The heating pipe 16 can directly heat the surrounding edible oil.

If the oil outlet 12 is not sealed, the cooking oil will flow out. Therefore, an oil discharge valve 121 is externally connected to the oil discharge port 12 . Preferably, the oil discharge valve 121 can be connected to an oil discharge pipe 122, and the oil discharge pipe 122 can guide the waste oil to flow into the collecting tank. Likewise, if the drain 13 is not sealed, water will flow out. Therefore, a drain valve 131 is externally connected to the drain port 13 . Preferably, the drain valve 131 can be connected outwardly with a drain pipe 132, which can guide the water containing debris or oil residue to flow into the collection tank.

A plurality of support frames 20 are fixed on the outer periphery of the fryer body 10 for supporting the fryer body 10 . The number of support frames 20 is not limited, but at least three are required. In this embodiment, the water-cooled oil-water separation fryer 1 uses four support frames 20 (the front two support frames 20 block the rear two support frames 20 ). Since the water-cooled oil-water separation fryer 1 needs to be moved, a roller 21 can be connected under the support frame 20 to move the fryer body 10 .

According to the present invention, to prevent the occurrence of oil boiling, the following two points must be done: 1. Make the temperature of the water in the fryer body 10 even, and prevent the water close to the oil-water interface 2 from being heated by the hot oil to evaporate. 2. Add cold water to the fryer body 10 and discharge the hot water. Regarding the first point, the present invention utilizes the water cycle combination 30 . The function of the water circulation assembly 30 is to circulate the water within the fryer body 10 to equalize the temperature. The water circulation assembly 30 includes a water pumping motor 31 , a water outlet pipe 32 and a water inlet pipe 33 . The water pumping motor 31 is the main body of the water circulation operation. The water outlet pipe 32 is watertightly connected with the water inlet of the water pump 31 and one of the two first communication holes 14 to suck the water inside the fryer body 10 out of the fryer body 10 through the water pump motor 31, as shown by the black arrows direction shown. Correspondingly, the water inlet pipe 33 is connected with the water outlet of the water pump 31 and the other water-tight connection of the two first communication holes 14 , so as to send the water sucked out of the fryer body 10 back to the fryer body 10 through the water pump motor 31 . inside, as indicated by the direction of the white arrow. The water in the fryer body 10 goes back and forth between the water outlet pipe 32 and the water inlet pipe 33 , resulting in a circulation following the direction indicated by the circular arrow. The hotter water in the upper layer (closer to the heating pipe 16 ) in the fryer body 10 will interact with the cooler water in the lower layer, so that the temperature between the two will gradually approach. Regarding the second point, the present invention utilizes the cold water inlet pipe 60 . One end of the cold water inlet pipe 60 is connected to a water source (such as a faucet), and the other end passes through the top of the fryer body 10 (whether through a specific opening or the opening 11 ) to supply cold water to the fryer body 10 . The newly introduced cold water will cool the existing water in the fryer body 10, but it will also increase the amount of water and raise the liquid level of the cooking oil. Therefore, the drain valve 131 can be opened at this time to allow some hot water to flow out. Under the operation of the water circulation combination 30 and the cold water inlet pipe 60, it can be ensured that the water temperature near the oil-water interface 2 is controlled within a temperature range far from the boiling point, such as 75°C to 85°C. The water pumping motor 31 may not be installed under the fryer body 10 to move with the rollers 21 of the support frame 20, but may be placed in a suitable place for convenient operation.

Although the operation of the water circulation combination 30 and the cold water inlet pipe 60 can control the water temperature near the oil-water interface 2, the actual water temperature will determine whether to use the cold water inlet pipe 60 to introduce cold water. In order to know the water temperature near the oil-water interface 2 , the present invention uses a water temperature detection combination 40 . The water temperature detection assembly 40 can measure the temperature of the water at the oil-water interface, and includes a first thermometer 41 , a first electrical signal line 42 and a first temperature display 43 . The first thermometer 41 is fixed inside the fryer body 10 and is lower than the oil discharge port 12 and may be 2-3 cm lower than the oil-water interface. The first electrical signal line 42 is signal-connected to the first thermometer 41 and passes through one of the two second communication holes 15 in a watertight manner. The first temperature indicator 43 is connected to the first electrical signal line 42 for displaying the water temperature measured by the first thermometer 41 . Preferably, the first temperature display 43 is a digital type display, which can reduce the cost. The first temperature display 43 can be placed in any place that is convenient for the operator to view, such as on the wall. In addition, the first temperature display 43 may include a buzzer 44. When the water temperature exceeds a water temperature warning temperature, such as 90°C, there is a possibility of oil boiling, the buzzer 44 will make a sound to remind the operation add cold water.

On the other hand, frying temperature can affect the flavor of the food, so it should also be monitored. The present invention utilizes the oil temperature detection combination 50 to achieve the aforementioned purpose. The oil temperature detection assembly 50 includes a second thermometer 51 , a second electrical signal line 52 and a second temperature display 53 . The oil temperature detection assembly 50 can be used to measure the temperature of the oil near the heating pipes 16 (where it is hotter), so the second thermometer 51 can be fixed around the heating pipes 16 . The second electrical signal line 52 is signal-connected to the second thermometer 51 and passes through the other of the two second communication holes 15 in a watertight manner. The second temperature indicator 53 is connected to the second electrical signal line 52 for displaying the oil temperature measured by the second thermometer 51 . Likewise, the second temperature display 53 may be a digital display to reduce costs. The second temperature display 53 can also be placed in any place that is convenient for the operator to see. The second temperature display 53 may also include a buzzer 54. When the oil temperature exceeds an oil temperature warning temperature, such as 180°C, which will cause the food or oil to deteriorate, the buzzer 54 will make a sound to remind the operator The temperature of the heating tube 16 is to be lowered.

When in use, water can be poured into the fryer body 10 at the opening 11 first, and then edible oil can be poured. When pouring clean water, the oil drain valve 121 can be opened to keep the oil-water interface 2 near the oil drain port 12, and then the oil drain valve 121 is closed, and edible oil is poured. At this time, the level of the oil level can be determined according to the needs of the operator. When cleaning the fryer body 10, first open the oil drain valve 121 to allow the dirty oil to flow out. When the purer oil also flows out, it can be filled in the container. After the edible oil runs out, first close the oil drain valve 121, and then open the drain valve 131 to allow the dirty water to flow out. When there is no water or oil in the fryer body 10, cleaning can be performed.

Although the present invention has been disclosed in the above embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone with ordinary knowledge in the technical field can make some changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, The scope of protection of this new model shall be determined by the scope of the appended patent application.
