Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of food production, and more specifically to a frying pan combining air frying and deep frying and a method for frying flour-coated food. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, air fryers have become a necessary kitchen appliance in family life. Air fryers mainly use air to replace the hot oil in the original frying pan, and use the convection mechanism and mechanical fans to circulate the hot air around the food at high speed, quickly heating and crisping the food, making delicious food similar to deep-frying.

[0003] At present, some air fryers used in conjunction with frying have appeared on the market. For example, a Chinese patent with application publication number CN103479233A discloses an air fryer of a new structure, including a main body and a central controller arranged thereon, wherein the main body has a storage space, a grid-shaped and rotatable baking cage is arranged in the storage space, a heating device capable of providing heat energy to the baking cage is arranged on the main body, an oil pan capable of lifting and lowering is arranged in the storage space and below the baking cage, and a driving device capable of driving the oil pan to lift and lower is arranged below the oil pan. The driving device includes a rotating block and a pushing block arranged below the oil pan, the rotating block can rotate around its rotating shaft, and the rotating block rests against the bottom of the oil pan. Below the rotating block is a pushing block, the front of the pushing block has a slope, and one side of the pushing block is transmission-connected with a driving screw, and the driving screw can be rotatably positioned on the positioning block.

[0004] Although the above patent can adjust the way the food in the grill is immersed in the oil pan by adjusting the height of the oil pan, and can achieve multiple functions such as dry frying, deep frying or less deep frying, etc., when a large amount of oil is placed in the oil pan, the air fryer with this structure has high requirements for the support of the oil pan and the motor power of the driving device, and the method of using the push block and the rotating block to cooperate is limited to the lifting height of the oil pan, which is difficult to meet the frying requirements of various foods.

[0005] In addition, most of the existing breaded foods are fried in a single fryer. Although frying can prevent the flour layer from separating from the food, the oil temperature rises quickly during the subsequent heating process, which is difficult to control. It is easy for the flour on the surface to burn but the inside is not cooked through. Moreover, these edible oils are prone to produce some aldehyde-like toxic substances when heated at high temperature for a long time, which are harmful to human life and health.

[0006] Therefore, we provide a fryer combining air frying and deep frying and a method for frying breaded food. Summary of the invention

[0007] The present invention provides a fryer combining air frying and deep frying and a method for frying breaded food, the main purpose of which is to solve the above problems existing in the existing air fryer and breaded food frying.

[0008] The present invention adopts the following technical solution: A fryer combined with air frying and deep frying comprises a fryer body, wherein an air frying device is arranged on the upper part of the fryer body, and a deep fryer is installed on the lower part; a frying basket is arranged between the air frying device and the deep fryer, and a frying basket lifting mechanism is also arranged in the fryer body, and the frying basket lifting mechanism is used to drive the frying basket to enter or leave the oil layer of the deep fryer.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a hook is provided on the side of the frying basket, and the frying basket lifting mechanism includes a first electric telescopic rod and a lifting connection seat, the first electric telescopic rod is vertically fixed to the side of the fryer, and the joint of the first electric telescopic rod is fixedly installed with a lifting connection seat through a fixed shaft, and the lifting connection seat is provided with a hook groove that cooperates with the hook.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a accommodating chamber is provided in the fryer body, and the deep fryer is installed at the lower part of the accommodating chamber; a closable pot cover is hingedly connected to the top of the fryer body through a hinged arm, and the pot cover closes the top surface opening of the accommodating chamber when the pot cover is closed, and the air frying device is installed in the pot cover.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a second electric telescopic rod for driving the lid to open and close is provided in the fryer body, the base of the second electric telescopic rod is hinged on the fryer body, and the joint of the second electric telescopic rod is connected to the articulated arm via a connecting shaft.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the air frying device includes a motor, blades and a first electric heating tube. The motor is installed in the pot cover, the output shaft of the motor is connected to the blades, and the first electric heating tube is installed on the inner surface of the pot cover, opposite to the blades; a second heating tube is provided in the frying pan.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the fryer of the present invention further comprises a circuit control board, and the circuit control board is respectively control-connected with the first heating tube, the second heating tube, the first electric telescopic rod and the second electric telescopic rod.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, an oil outlet pipe and an oil return pipe are connected to the bottom of the fryer, the end of the oil outlet pipe is detachably connected to an oil tank truck, a filter is provided in the oil tank truck, an oil delivery pipe is connected to the outlet of the filter, the end of the oil delivery pipe is detachably connected to the inlet end of the return oil pump, and the outlet end of the return oil pump is connected to the return oil pipe.

[0015] The present invention also provides a method for frying breaded food, based on the above-mentioned fryer combined with air frying and deep frying, and the specific frying steps are as follows: S1, add cooking oil into the fryer and start heating; S2, placing the breaded food in the frying basket, and after the oil temperature is heated to the set temperature, lowering the frying basket into the oil layer through the frying basket lifting mechanism so that the oil layer covers the breaded food; S3. After the breaded food is heated and shaped in the deep fryer, the frying basket lifting mechanism moves in the reverse direction to raise the frying basket above the oil layer, and the air frying device is started to continue heating the food until the food is cooked through and crispy.

[0016] From the above description of the structure of the present invention, it can be seen that compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. The combined fryer of the present invention is provided with a frying basket lifting mechanism for driving the frying basket to be lifted and lowered. The structure for driving the frying basket to be lifted and lowered enables food to enter or leave the oil layer of the frying pan. The weight of the frying basket and the food therein is much smaller than the weight of the oil pan and the oil, and is not affected by the amount of oil, thereby reducing the requirements for the power of the frying basket lifting mechanism and the support of the frying basket. At the same time, the oil in the frying pan will not be easily splashed due to shaking caused by lifting and lowering.

[0017] 2. The frying basket lifting mechanism of the present invention adopts an electric telescopic rod to push the lifting connection seat matched with the frying basket hook to lift and lower. The lifting distance range is large and can meet the frying needs of various foods.

[0018] 3. The present invention uses a combination of air frying and deep frying to fry the breaded food. First, the breaded food is quickly shaped in the deep fryer, then the frying basket is raised, and the air frying device is used to continue heating the food. This combination of low-temperature frying and high-temperature air frying can not only prevent the breaded layer from separating from the food, but also make the food surface crispy, quickly cooked and drained of grease, reduce the heating time of the food in the deep fryer, and make the food healthier.
