Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing equipment, in particular to a continuous frying machine. Background Art

[0002] Deep fryers are a common machine used for frying food. They primarily place large amounts of food in a frying tank and immerse it in hot oil for frying. Currently, most deep frying lines on the market use continuous fryers. Because food residue falls into the fryer during the frying process, prolonged exposure to high temperatures can cause it to deteriorate, turning it black and bitter, affecting the quality of the food being processed. Therefore, continuous fryers require frequent oil filtration and cleaning.

[0003] Most existing continuous fryers use a double-layer mesh belt to convey fried food. The food passes through the gap between the two layers of mesh belt to complete the frying of the food. At this time, food residues generated during the frying process will remain in the gap of the lower mesh belt conveyor mechanism, causing difficulties in subsequent cleaning and affecting the quality of the fried food. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the problem that food residues generated during the frying process remain in the gaps of the lower mesh belt conveyor mechanism and affect the quality of fried food, the utility model proposes a continuous fryer. The material moves under the drive of the oil, is turned over when the thumbwheel rotates, and is then completely pressed into the oil by the downward mesh belt, and is then conveyed out of the box through the conveyor mesh belt. In this process, the food residues generated during the frying process are carried out by the oil circulation component, and the food residues remaining in the box are reduced, thereby improving the quality of subsequent fried food.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution of the utility model is:

[0006] A continuous frying machine comprises a box body, wherein a conveying component and an oil circulation component are provided in the box body;

[0007] The conveying assembly includes a thumbwheel, a pressing mesh belt, and a conveying mesh belt arranged in sequence in the box along the conveying direction of the material. The thumbwheel is rotatably arranged in the box and is used to turn the material. The pressing mesh belt is used to press the material into the oil. The conveying mesh belt is arranged obliquely from low to high along the conveying direction of the material, and the high end of the conveying mesh belt extends out of the box. When the fried material is puffed food, the thumbwheel rotates to turn the puffed food, ensuring uniform frying of all parts of the puffed food.

[0008] The oil circulation component includes an oil inlet and an oil outlet. The oil circulation component is used to drive the oil to circulate in the box. The oil outlet is located on the lower side of the conveyor belt.

[0009] Furthermore, the plurality of thumbwheels are provided, each thumbwheel comprising a rotating shaft rotatably arranged on the housing and a plurality of blades circumferentially fixed on the rotating shaft. The rotating shafts of the plurality of thumbwheels are connected to the output end of the motor via a sprocket and a chain transmission to achieve synchronous rotation of the plurality of rotating shafts.

[0010] Furthermore, the oil circulation assembly includes an oil inlet pipe disposed outside the casing and connected to the oil inlet, with a first valve disposed on the oil inlet pipe. The oil circulation assembly also includes an external filter mechanism and a pump body. Driven by the pump body, oil enters the casing through the oil inlet pipe, is then transported through a pipe connected to the oil outlet and externally to the filter mechanism, where it is filtered to remove food residue, before re-entering the casing. This allows the oil to circulate within the casing while improving the quality of fried foods.

[0011] Furthermore, a discharge port is provided at the output end of the conveyor mesh belt.

[0012] Furthermore, a hood is placed on the box, with a chimney connected to its upper side. The hood's top plate has an inverted V-shaped longitudinal cross-section. Drains are provided on both sides of the box, with the lower ends of the hood's side plates contacting the troughs. A water collection port is formed in the trough, and a drain pipe is installed below the port, with a second valve installed on the drain pipe. The frying process generates fumes and water vapor, which are collected by the chimney on the hood. The water vapor condenses into water, flows from the hood's top plate to the hood's side walls, and then enters the troughs on both sides of the box, where it is discharged through the drain pipe.

[0013] Furthermore, a first water inlet pipe is fixedly provided in the cover body, a second water inlet pipe is connected to the first water inlet pipe, one end of the second water inlet pipe extends out of the cover body to connect to an external water supply device, and a nozzle is provided on the first water inlet pipe.

[0014] Furthermore, the box body is provided with a liquid level detection component for detecting the oil level height inside the box body.

[0015] Through the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0016] 1. The material in the present invention moves driven by the oil, is turned over when the thumbwheel rotates, and is then completely pressed into the oil by the downward pressure mesh belt, and is then transported out of the box through the conveyor mesh belt. The food residues generated during the frying process are brought out by the oil circulation component, and the food residues left in the box are reduced, thereby improving the quality of subsequent fried foods. Compared with the existing upper and lower double-layer mesh belt continuous fryer, the lower layer of the conveyor mesh belt, the scraping structure and the slag discharge structure are omitted, and the lower layer space of the box is reduced, which saves fuel and cooking oil in the frying process and saves production costs.

[0017] 2. The oil in the present invention drives the food residue to be transported to the filter mechanism through the oil outlet and the externally connected pipeline. After the food residue is filtered out, it circulates again through the pump body into the box, thereby improving the quality of the oil during the frying process. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The rotating shafts 7 of the multiple thumbwheels 2 are connected to the output end of the motor 19 through a sprocket and chain transmission to achieve synchronous rotation of the multiple rotating shafts 7, thereby driving the flipping of the material during the movement process.

[0030] Specifically, the oil circulation assembly includes an oil inlet 5 and an oil outlet 6, and the oil circulation assembly is used to drive the oil to circulate in the box 1. The oil outlet 6 is located at the lower side of the conveyor belt 4. Figures 5 to 7 , Figure 5 The direction indicated by the arrow is the direction of oil movement. The oil circulation assembly further includes an oil inlet pipe 9, disposed outside the housing 1 and connected to the oil inlet 5. A first valve 10 is provided on the oil inlet pipe 9.

[0031] Furthermore, a discharge port 11 is provided at the output end of the conveyor mesh belt 4. In this embodiment, the material is moved by the oil, flipped when the thumbwheel 2 rotates, and then completely pressed into the oil by the downward pressure mesh belt 3.

[0034] As an embodiment, the tank body 1 is provided with a liquid level detection assembly for detecting the oil level inside the tank body 1. The liquid level detection assembly is prior art and will not be described in detail here. In this embodiment, the liquid level detection assembly is used to monitor the oil level in the tank body 1 in real time. When the oil in the tank body 1 is insufficient, oil is promptly added to the tank body through the oil filling port.

[0035] As an implementable embodiment, the box body 1 includes an outer protective plate and a main body (not shown in the figure), and thermal insulation cotton is filled between the outer protective plate and the main body to reduce heat loss of the oil.
