When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0038] The specific embodiments described in this article are merely examples of the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or replace them in a similar manner, but they will not deviate from the present invention or exceed the scope defined by the attached claims.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, a lifting fryer includes: a base 1 and a food conveying mechanism 2.

[0040] Wherein, the base 1 is provided with a frying tank 11.

[0041] Among them, the food conveying mechanism 2 includes a conveying upper part 21 and a conveying lower part 22, and the conveying upper part 21 and the conveying lower part 22 are both connected to the base 1 in a liftable manner, and the conveying upper part 21 and the conveying lower part 22 can be close to each other or in principle, and the food conveying mechanism 2 is provided with a lifting state and a closed state.

[0042] Specifically, when the food conveying mechanism 2 is in the lifting state, the conveying upper part 21 and the conveying lower part 22 are separated from each other and both the conveying upper part 21 and the conveying lower part 22 are raised to the outside of the frying tank 11;

[0043] When the food conveying mechanism 2 is in a closed state, the conveying lower part 22 and the conveying lower part 22 are close to each other and the conveying upper part 21 and the conveying lower part 22 are both accommodated in the frying tank 11 .

[0044] In this embodiment, when the food conveying mechanism 2 is in the raised state, the food to be fried can be placed above the conveying lower part 22. After placement, the food conveying mechanism 2 will gradually sink until it is immersed in the hot oil in the frying tank 11. At this time, the conveying upper part 21 is also in the frying tank 11, and the food floating above the hot oil is pressed into the hot oil so that it can be completely fried.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, on the basis of the above embodiment, it also includes a lifting mechanism 3, the base 1 is also provided with a lifting guide rail 12, the lifting mechanism 3 includes a lifting motor 31 and a first connecting member 32, the food conveying mechanism 2 is connected to the lifting guide rail 12 so as to be liftable, the lifting motor 31 is connected to the lifting guide rail 12, one end of the first connecting member 32 is connected to the output shaft of the lifting motor 31, and the other end of the first connecting member 32 is connected to the food conveying mechanism 2.

[0046] Specifically, the first connecting member 32 is configured as a flexible member that can be curled. When the food conveying mechanism 2 needs to be lifted, the output shaft of the lifting motor 31 on the lifting guide rail 12 rotates, and the first connecting member 32 wrapped around its output shaft is curled and folded, thereby lifting the food conveying mechanism 2. Similarly, when the food conveying mechanism 2 needs to be lowered, the first connecting member 32 can be extended and released by simply rotating the output shaft of the lifting motor 31 in the opposite direction.

[0047] In this embodiment, the lifting trajectory of the entire food conveying mechanism 2 is limited by the lifting guide rail 12, so that it can be guaranteed to move in the vertical direction, ensuring its stability, and preventing the internal food from falling out due to vibration or tilting during movement. The design of the lifting motor 31 and the first connecting member 32 can ensure that the food conveying cabinet can rise or sink quickly and responsively while ensuring that it occupies a small space.

[0048] like Figure 1As shown, based on the above embodiment, it also includes a protective cover 4, and the first connecting member 32 is connected to the food conveying mechanism 2 through the protective cover 4. When the food conveying mechanism 2 is in a closed state and a raised state, the protective cover 4 is outside the frying tank 11.

[0049] In this embodiment, the first connecting member 32 is connected to the food conveying mechanism 2 through the protective cover 4, so the protective cover 4 is always located above the food conveying mechanism 2. When the food conveying mechanism 2 is in a closed state, the protective cover 4 is located outside the frying tank 11 and can always cover the top of the frying tank 11 to prevent foreign objects from falling into the hot oil or the hot oil from splashing out during the frying process.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, on the basis of the above embodiment, it also includes a second connecting component 5, which includes a second upper connecting member 51 and a second lower connecting member 52, one end of the second upper connecting member 51 is rotatably connected to one end of the second lower connecting member 52, the other end of the second upper connecting member 51 is rotatably connected to the protective cover 4, and the other end of the second lower connecting member 52 is rotatably connected to the conveying upper part 21.

[0051] Specifically, when the second lower connecting member 52 rotates relative to the second upper connecting member 51 , the portion of the second lower connecting member 52 close to the second upper connecting member 51 will contact the second upper connecting member 51 to limit the second lower connecting member 52 , thereby controlling the rotation range of the second lower connecting member 52 .

[0052] In this embodiment, the second upper connecting member 51 limits the second lower connecting member 52, so that during the folding process, the upper conveying part 21 will only move toward one side of the protective cover 4 in the horizontal direction except approaching the protective cover 4 in the vertical direction, and will not have uncontrollable deviation direction.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, on the basis of the above embodiment, it also includes a third connecting component 6, and the third connecting component 6 includes a third upper connecting member 61 and a third lower connecting member 62, one end of the third upper connecting member 61 is rotatably connected to one end of the third lower connecting member 62, the other end of the third upper connecting member 61 is rotatably connected to the protective cover 4, and the other end of the third lower connecting member 62 is rotatably connected to the conveying lower part 22.

[0054] Specifically, when the third lower connecting member 62 rotates relative to the third upper connecting member 61 , the portion of the third lower connecting member 62 close to the third upper connecting member 61 will contact the third upper connecting member 61 to limit the third lower connecting member 62 , thereby controlling the rotation range of the third lower connecting member 62 .

[0055] In this embodiment, the third upper connecting member 61 limits the third lower connecting member 62, so that during the folding process, the lower conveying part 22 will only move toward one side of the protective cover 4 in the horizontal direction except approaching the protective cover 4 in the vertical direction, and no uncontrollable deviation direction will occur.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, on the basis of the above embodiment, the lower conveying part 22 is provided with a lower conveyor belt 221 and a lower conveyor driving element 222, and the lower conveyor driving element 222 can drive the lower conveyor belt 221 to move.

[0057] In this embodiment, the lower conveyor belt 221 can be driven to move by the lower conveying driving element 222, and the part that sinks to the bottom after frying can be transported out of the lifting fryer through the lower conveyor belt 221. This process not only ensures that the fried products can be removed from the frying environment in time to avoid quality problems caused by over-frying, but also prepares space for subsequent frying batches.

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, on the basis of the above embodiment, it also includes a first gear (not shown in the figure) and a first chain (shown in the figure), the first gear is connected to the output shaft of the lower conveying driving element 222, the first gear is meshed with the first chain, the lower conveyor belt 221 is meshed with the first chain, and the lower conveying driving element 222 can drive the lower conveyor belt 221 to move through the first chain.

[0059] In this embodiment, since the first gear and the first chain maintain a constant meshing state, each tooth of the gear can accurately push the links on the chain, thereby ensuring the continuity and reliability of force transmission. Through the meshing of the first gear and the first chain, the lower conveying drive element 222 can control the lower conveyor belt 221 more accurately and respond more quickly.

[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, on the basis of the above embodiment, the conveying upper part is also provided with an upper conveying belt 211 and an upper conveying driving assembly 212, and the upper conveying driving assembly 212 includes an upper conveying driving element 2121 and a conveying connection assembly 2122, one end of the conveying connection assembly 2122 is connected to the output shaft of the upper conveying driving element 2121, and the other end of the conveying connection assembly 2122 is connected to the upper conveying belt 211, and the upper conveying driving element 2121 can drive the upper conveying belt 211 to move through the conveying connection assembly 2122.

[0061] In this embodiment, the upper conveying driving element 2121 can drive the upper conveyor belt 211 to move through the conveying connecting assembly 2122, and the suspended part after frying can be transported out of the lifting fryer through the upper conveyor belt 211. This process not only ensures that the fried products can be removed from the frying environment in time to avoid quality problems caused by over-frying, but also prepares space for subsequent frying batches.

[0062] like Figure 1 As shown, on the basis of the above embodiment, the transmission connection assembly 2122 includes a transmission upper connection member 21221 and a transmission lower connection member 21222, one end of the transmission upper connection member 21221 is rotatably connected to the output shaft of the upper transmission driving element 2121, the other end of the transmission upper connection member 21221 is rotatably connected to one end of the transmission lower connection member 21222, one end of the transmission lower connection member 21222 is rotatably connected to the upper conveyor belt 211, and also includes a second gear 21223, a second chain 21224, and a third chain 21 225 and a third gear set 21226, the second gear 21223 is connected to the output shaft of the upper conveying driving element 2121, the third gear set 21226 is arranged at the connection between the conveying upper connecting member 21221 and the conveying lower connecting member 21222, the two ends of the second chain 21224 are respectively meshed with the second gear 21223 and the third gear set 21226, one end of the third chain 21225 is meshed with the third gear set 21226, and the other end of the third chain 21225 is connected to the upper conveyor belt 211.

[0063] Specifically, the third gear set 21226 is provided with two gears. The upper conveying driving element 2121 can transmit the movement to one of the gears in the third gear set 21226 through the engagement of the second gear 21223 on the output shaft with the second chain 21224 through the second chain 21224. The other gear in the third gear set 21226 transmits the movement to the upper conveyor belt 211 through the third chain 21225, thereby driving the upper conveyor belt 211 to move.

[0064] In this embodiment, through the design of the second gear 21223, the second chain 21224, the third chain 21225 and the third gear set 21226, not only can the upper conveying drive element 2121 fixed to the protective cover 4 not be affected by the hot oil, but it can also drive the movement of the lower conveyor belt 221 that moves up and down relative to the protective cover 4 and is immersed in the hot oil, which not only extends the service life of the upper drive element, but also reduces maintenance requirements.

[0065] like Figure 1As shown, based on the above embodiment, a heating element (not shown in the figure) is further included, and the heating element is arranged below the frying tank 11.
