Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food production technology, and in particular to a fried food scooping machine. Background Technology

[0002] The overall production process varies depending on the type of fried food, but it generally includes several steps such as scooping, oil filtering, cooling, and packaging. Traditionally, scooping involves manually removing the fried food from the hot oil using sieves or similar devices. However, this process carries the risk of burns to workers. Therefore, current technology typically employs automated scooping equipment.

[0003] However, most existing retrieval machines use a lifting screen to remove fried food from the fryer. This design has a problem where the fried food gets squeezed together during the lifting process, causing it to stick together and form clumps. To facilitate subsequent cooling and packaging steps, the clumps need to be manually separated. This process results in damage to the surface of the fried food, making it time-consuming, labor-intensive, and increasing production costs. It also makes the finished product less appealing and affects subsequent sales.

[0004] In conclusion, existing deep-fried food retrieval equipment is prone to causing deep-fried food to stick together and clump during the retrieval process, so it is necessary to improve it. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the above-mentioned shortcomings, the purpose of this invention is to provide a fried food retrieval machine, which aims to solve the problem that fried foods tend to stick together and clump during the retrieval process in the prior art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A deep-fried food retrieval machine includes a fixed frame, a retrieval mechanism, and a conveying mechanism;

[0008] One end of the fixing frame is provided with a first column and a second column, and the other end of the fixing frame is provided with a third column and a fourth column. A first drive shaft and a power motor are provided between the first column and the second column, and an oil pot is provided between the third column and the fourth column. The two ends of the first drive shaft are rotatably connected to the first column and the second column respectively. The output end of the power motor is connected to the first drive shaft through a drive belt. The conveying mechanism and the salvage mechanism are arranged sequentially from top to bottom between the first column and the second column.

[0009] The salvage mechanism includes a first turntable, a salvage arm, and a retaining arm. The first drive shaft is connected to the first turntable. A fixed column is provided between the edge of the first turntable and the center of the first turntable. The salvage arm includes a connecting section and a salvage section. The end of the connecting section away from the salvage section is rotatably connected to the fixed column. One end of the salvage section is connected to the connecting section, and the other end of the salvage section extends toward the oil pot. A salvage sieve is installed at the end of the salvage section away from the connecting section. The two ends of the retaining arm are rotatably connected to the third column and the salvage arm, respectively.

[0010] A first gear box is provided between the transmission belt and the first column. A first driving wheel and a first driven wheel are provided in the first gear box. The first driving wheel and the first driven wheel are meshed and connected. A first transmission shaft is connected to the first driving wheel, and a second transmission shaft is connected to the first driven wheel.

[0011] The conveyor chain plate includes a first chain, a second chain, and a plurality of conveying rods. The two ends of the second drive shaft are respectively equipped with a first sprocket and a second sprocket. The two ends of the third drive shaft are respectively equipped with a third sprocket and a fourth sprocket. The two ends of the first chain are respectively engaged with the first sprocket and the third sprocket. The two ends of the second chain are respectively engaged with the second sprocket and the fourth sprocket. The plurality of conveying rods are horizontally arranged between the first chain and the second chain.

[0012] A drive pulley is provided between the first column and the second column, the first drive shaft passes through the drive pulley, one end of the drive belt is connected to the drive pulley, and the other end of the drive belt is connected to the output end of the power motor.

[0013] The retrieval screen includes a connecting plate, one end of which is provided with several toothed racks. The angle between the toothed racks and the retrieval section is α, where 60°≤α≤120°.

[0014] The connecting plate is provided with several oil filter holes.

[0015] The fried food retrieval machine further includes a second turntable and a second retrieval arm. The second turntable is rotatably connected to the side of the second column away from the first column. A second fixed column is installed between the edge and the center of the second turntable. The second retrieval arm is symmetrical about the conveying mechanism. One end of the second retrieval arm is rotatably connected to the second fixed column, and the other end of the second retrieval arm is connected to the retrieval screen. A second retaining arm is provided between the fourth column and the second retrieval arm. One end of the second retaining arm is rotatably connected to the side wall of the second retrieval arm, and the other end of the second retaining arm is rotatably connected to the fourth column.

[0016] A collection plate is provided between the first salvage arm and the second salvage arm, and a support rod is provided between the collection plate and the first column and the second column.

[0017] The salvage section and the connecting section are integrally formed.

[0019] Secondly, under the combined action of the power motor, the first turntable, the holding arm, and the retrieval arm, the retrieval screen can perform four actions: retraction, forward movement, downward movement, and lifting, thereby completing the retrieval of fried food.

[0020] Third, the introduction of the gearbox allows the power motor to drive the salvage arm and the conveying mechanism to work simultaneously, reducing the need for a power source and lowering costs. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0033] The invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] The orientations mentioned in this specification are based on the orientation of the fried food retrieval machine of the present invention during normal operation, and do not limit the orientation during storage and transportation. They only represent relative positional relationships and do not represent absolute positional relationships.

[0035] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a fried food retrieval machine includes a fixed frame, a retrieval mechanism, and a conveying mechanism 3;

[0036] One end of the fixing frame is provided with a first column 11 and a second column 12, and the other end of the fixing frame is provided with a third column 13 and a fourth column 14. A first drive shaft 15 and a power motor 16 are provided between the first column 11 and the second column 12. An oil pan 4 is provided between the third column 13 and the fourth column 14. The two ends of the first drive shaft 15 are rotatably connected to the first column 11 and the second column 12 respectively. The output end of the power motor 16 is connected to the first drive shaft 15 through a drive belt 17. The conveying mechanism 3 and the retrieval mechanism are arranged sequentially from top to bottom between the first column 11 and the second column 12. The retrieval mechanism includes a first... The system includes a turntable 21, a retrieval arm 22, and a retaining arm 23. The first drive shaft 15 is connected to the first turntable 21. A fixed column 211 is provided between the edge of the first turntable 21 and its center. The retrieval arm 22 includes a connecting section 221 and a retrieval section 222. The end of the connecting section 221 away from the retrieval section 222 is rotatably connected to the fixed column 211. One end of the retrieval section 222 is connected to the connecting section 221. The other end of the retrieval section 222 extends toward the oil pan 4. A retrieval screen 24 is installed at the end of the retrieval section 222 away from the connecting section 221. The two ends of the retaining arm 23 are rotatably connected to the third column 13 and the retrieval arm 22, respectively.

[0037] The working principle of this scheme is as follows: First, the power motor 16 drives the first transmission shaft 15 to rotate through the transmission belt 17, and the first transmission shaft 15 drives the first turntable 21 to rotate. Since the fixed column 211 is set between the center and the edge of the first turntable 21, when the first turntable 21 rotates, the retrieval arm 22 will make a reciprocating motion forward and backward in the horizontal direction. At the same time, as the first turntable 21 rotates, the retrieval arm 22 will also make a reciprocating motion of lifting and lowering in the vertical direction.

[0038] like Figure 7-11As shown, to facilitate the explanation of the movement of the retrieval arm 22, this scheme divides the first turntable 21 into five rotation stages. In the first stage, when the fixed column 211 passes point A, under the action of the holding arm, the fixed column 211 rotates towards the top of the first turntable 21. At this time, the retrieval arm 22 will slowly rise and move slightly towards the oil pot 4 away from the first turntable 21. When the fixed column 211 passes point B, under the action of the holding arm, the fixed column 211 passes its highest point. At this time, the retrieval arm 22 will gradually move towards the bottom of the oil pot 4 and away from the first turntable 21. When the fixed column 211 passes point C, under the action of the holding arm 23, the retrieval arm 22 gradually rises, that is, the retrieval screen 24 moves towards the top of the oil pot 4. When the fixed column 211 passes point D, the retrieval arm 22 moves towards the first turntable 21, that is, the retrieval arm 22 moves towards the direction of the first turntable 21 during its ascent. When the fixed column 211 passes point E, the retrieval arm 22 rises to its limit and stops moving towards the first turntable 21. During this process, the retrieval screen 24 first submerges in the oil pan 4, then moves forward along the length of the oil pan 4, then rises, and finally retreats along the oil pan 4. In this process, the retrieval screen 24 pushes and retrieves the fried food towards one end of the conveyor mechanism 3, which then continuously removes the fried food from the retrieval screen 24 and transfers it to the collection vehicle at the rear.

[0039] During the above process, the conveying mechanism 3 continuously transports the fried food to the rear during the retrieval process of the retrieval screen 24, so that the retrieval and transportation are carried out in the same way, avoiding the problem of fried food piling up for a long time. This avoids the problem of fried food sticking and clumping due to piling and squeezing in the prior art, thus making the product more beautiful.

[0040] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, in this scheme, the conveying mechanism 3 includes a support frame 31 and a conveyor chain plate 32. A second drive shaft 321 and a third drive shaft 322 are rotatably mounted at both ends of the support frame 31, and both ends of the conveyor chain plate 32 are connected to the second drive shaft 321 and the third drive shaft 322, respectively. The support frame 31 supports the entire conveying mechanism 3, while the second drive shaft 321 and the third drive shaft 322 drive the conveyor chain plate 32 to rotate during rotation, transferring the fried food scooped up by the scooping screen 24 from the oil pot 4 to the rear.

[0041] To provide power to the second drive shaft 321, a power source is needed. However, this design has drawbacks: it occupies space, the power source causes additional energy loss, and it increases the overall cost of the device. Therefore, a first gearbox 18 is provided between the transmission belt 17 and the first column 11. The first gearbox 18 contains a first driving wheel 181 and a first driven wheel 182, which are meshed together. The first drive shaft 15 is connected to the first driving wheel 181, and the second drive shaft 321 is connected to the first driven wheel 182.

[0042] The power motor 16 drives the first drive shaft 15 to rotate via the transmission belt 17. During rotation, the first drive shaft 15 drives the first driven wheel 182 to rotate via the first driving wheel 181. The first driven wheel 182, in turn, drives the second drive shaft 321 to rotate. This design allows the first drive shaft 15 and the second drive shaft 321 to share the same power source, meaning that the power motor 16 simultaneously drives both the salvage mechanism and the conveying mechanism 3.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, to facilitate the retrieval of fried food, the conveyor chain plate 32 includes a first chain 323, a second chain 324, and several conveying rods 325. A first sprocket 326 and a second sprocket 327 are respectively installed at both ends of the second drive shaft 321, and a third sprocket 328 and a fourth sprocket 329 are respectively installed at both ends of the third drive shaft 322. The two ends of the first chain 323 are engaged with the first sprocket 326 and the third sprocket 328, respectively, and the two ends of the second chain 324 are engaged with the second sprocket 327 and the fourth sprocket 329, respectively. Several conveying rods 325 are horizontally arranged between the first chain 323 and the second chain 324. A certain gap exists between the conveying rods 325, which creates a height difference between adjacent conveying rods 325 during rotation, thereby trapping the fried food and moving it along the conveyor mechanism 3.

[0044] To facilitate the rotation of the first drive shaft 15 by the power motor 16, a drive pulley 111 is provided between the first column 11 and the second column 12. The first drive shaft 15 passes through the drive pulley 111. One end of the transmission belt 17 is connected to the drive pulley 111, and the other end of the transmission belt 17 is connected to the output end of the power motor 16. The drive pulley 111 is fixedly connected to the first drive shaft 15, and the axis of the first drive shaft 15 coincides with the axis of the drive pulley 111. This design ensures the smooth rotation of the drive pulley 111. To prevent the transmission belt 17 from slipping on the drive pulley 111, both ends of the transmission belt 17 are respectively engaged with the drive pulley 111 and the output end of the power motor 16.

[0045] To ensure the stable operation of the entire retrieval machine, the fried food retrieval machine also includes a second turntable 51 and a second retrieval arm 52. The second turntable 51 is rotatably connected to the side of the second column 12 away from the first column 11. A second fixed column 511 is installed between the edge and the center of the second turntable 51. The second retrieval arm 52 is symmetrical to the retrieval arm 22 about the conveying mechanism 3. One end of the second retrieval arm 52 is rotatably connected to the second fixed column 511, and the other end of the second retrieval arm 52 is connected to the retrieval screen 24. A second holding arm 53 is provided between the fourth column 14 and the second retrieval arm 52. One end of the second holding arm 53 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the second retrieval arm 52, and the other end of the second holding arm 53 is rotatably connected to the fourth column 14. In this design, the second turntable 51 has the same structure as the first turntable 21, the retrieval arm 22 has the same structure as the second retrieval arm 52, and the second holding arm 23 has the same structure as the holding arm 23. This design prevents the salvage machine from experiencing uneven forces on the left and right sides, making the entire device operate more stably.

[0046] To facilitate a wider range of pushing of fried food towards the conveying mechanism 3 using the scooping screen 24, the scooping screen 24 includes a connecting plate 241. One end of the connecting plate 241 is provided with several toothed racks 242. The angle between the toothed racks 242 and the scooping section 222 is α, where 60° ≤ α ≤ 120°. Gaps exist between adjacent toothed racks 242, serving two purposes: firstly, to reduce resistance, and secondly, to scoop only the fried food and filter out oil residue. Further, α is 90°.

[0047] In this scheme, the two ends of the retrieval screen 24 are connected to the retrieval arm 22 and the second retrieval arm 52, respectively.

[0048] To filter out the hot oil carried by the fried food itself, the connecting plate 241 is provided with several oil filter holes 243. This design allows the hot oil to return to the oil pot 4 through the oil filter holes 243 during the lifting process of the scooping screen 24, preventing the fried food from being soaked in hot oil.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, when fried food is transported by conveyor 3, the hot oil carried by the fried food will slowly drip down. To avoid waste, we need to collect the dripping hot oil. Therefore, an oil baffle 61 is provided between the first scooping arm 22 and the second scooping arm 52. One end of the oil baffle 61 is connected to the oil pot 4, and the angle between the oil baffle 61 and the outer wall of the oil pot 4 is b, where 90° < b ≤ 150°. To facilitate the collection of hot oil and allow it to return to the oil pot 4 along the oil baffle 61, the included angle b between the oil baffle 61 and the end of the oil pot 4 needs to be greater than 90°.

[0050] To prevent fried food from falling from one end of the conveyor mechanism 3 and failing to enter the collection vehicle, a collection plate 62 is provided between the retrieval arm 22 and the second retrieval arm 52. Support rods are provided between the collection plate 62 and both the first column 11 and the second column 12. The support rods support the collection plate 62, allowing the fried food to travel along the collection plate 62 to the collection vehicle after detaching from the conveyor mechanism 3.

[0051] In this design, the retrieval section 222 and the connecting section 221 are integrally formed. To prevent the end of the oil pan 4 from obstructing the movement of the retrieval arm 22, there is an included angle β between the connecting section 221 and the retrieval section 222, where 90°≤β≤170°.

[0052] Similarly, to prevent the end of the oil pan 4 from obstructing the movement of the retrieval arm 22, the retrieval arm 22 can also be an arc-shaped arm.

[0053] In this design, the first turntable 21 is located on the side of the first column 11 away from the second column 12, and the first drive shaft 15 passes through the first column 11 and connects to the first turntable 21. The purpose of this design is to prevent the first drive shaft 15 from obstructing the rotation of the salvage arm 22.

[0054] Similarly, the second turntable 51 is located on the side of the second column 12 away from the first column 11, and the first drive shaft 15 passes through the second column 12 and is connected to the second turntable 51.

[0055] In summary, this solution offers the following advantages: First, during the retrieval process, the conveying mechanism 3 continuously transports the fried food backwards, ensuring simultaneous retrieval and transport. This avoids the problem of fried food piling up for extended periods, thus preventing the sticking and clumping issues caused by crowding and compression, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing product appearance. Second, with the combined action of the power motor 16, the first turntable 21, the holding arm, and the retrieval arm 22, the retrieval screen 24 can perform four actions: backward, forward, downward, and upward, thereby completing the retrieval of the fried food. Third, the introduction of the gearbox allows the power motor 16 to drive the retrieval arm 22 and the conveying mechanism 3 simultaneously, reducing the need for a separate power source and lowering costs.

[0056] This invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Any modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the above concept without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.
