[0015] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations. This embodiment is written in a progressive manner.

[0018] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, an auxiliary structure of a food processing fryer according to the present invention is installed in the oil tank 1 and is used for turning the food in the oil tank 1. It includes two rotating rings 3 arranged oppositely along the length direction of the oil tank 1 and two mesh belts 4 located between the two rotating rings 3 and distributed vertically. The mesh belts 4 are horizontal, and both ends of the mesh belts 4 are provided with conveyor rollers 5, and the conveyor rollers 5 are rotatably arranged in the rotating rings 3; Among them, a channel for conveying food is formed between the two mesh belts 4, and blocking structures are arranged on both sides of the channel along the width direction of the mesh belts 4; In the present invention, the rotating ring 3 can drive the two mesh belts 4 to perform a circumferential flipping motion, and the conveying roller 5 can drive the mesh belt 4 to convey; the channel formed by the two mesh belts 4 is mainly used for the lateral conveying motion of food, and the conveying directions of the surfaces of the two mesh belts 4 in the channel are the same, that is, the moving direction of the bottom surface of the upper mesh belt 4 is the same as the moving direction of the top surface of the lower mesh belt 4; if only the two mesh belts 4 are used to form the channel, then the front and rear sides of the channel are in an open state, which is likely to cause the food to move out of the channel through the open position. During use, the auxiliary structure is installed in the oil tank 1, and guide structures 2 are arranged on both the left and right sides of the oil tank 1. The guide structures 2 are used to feed the food into the auxiliary structure or remove the food discharged from the auxiliary structure; the food is introduced into the channel between the two mesh belts 4 through the guide structure 2 on one side of the oil tank 1. The liquid level of the oil is above the upper mesh belt 4, that is, the two mesh belts 4 need to be immersed in the oil. Due to the influence of its own density, some of the food floating on the bottom surface of the upper mesh belt 4 and the remaining part of the food sinking on the top surface of the lower mesh belt 4. Since the two mesh belts 4 perform a lateral conveying motion, the two mesh belts 4 will convey the food between them laterally. The food moves laterally in the oil tank 1 and is fried. During this process, the two rotating rings 3 rotate, and the two rotating rings 3 will drive the two mesh belts 4 thereon to perform a synchronous circular motion, thereby causing the food to flip in the channel. And whether it is the floating food or the sinking food, it can perform the flipping motion, and different surfaces of the food can contact the oil, thereby realizing the comprehensive frying treatment of the food. When the food frying is completed, the food is laterally conveyed to the position of another guide structure 2 and removed from the oil tank 1. It should be noted that due to the setting of the blocking structure, the channel can form a complete cylindrical structure, so that the food can be kept in the channel; since the two mesh belts 4 can continuously convey and move, the continuous conveying and frying treatment of the food can be realized, and the continuity of food processing can be improved. By adopting the method of using two mesh belts 4 to form a channel and convey food, the continuous frying treatment of food can be realized. And with the circular motion of the channel, the food can be flipped in the channel, thus avoiding the cumbersome operation of manually flipping the food and realizing an automatic turning working mode. And this method is applicable to both floating food and sinking food, thereby improving the functionality of the equipment.

[0019] Further, the blocking structure is a number of vertical rods 6 spaced at both ends in the width direction of the mesh belt 4, and the number of vertical rods 6 on the two mesh belts 4 are staggered. A number of vertical rods 6 on the mesh belt 4 are divided into front and rear groups and are respectively arranged at both ends in the width direction of the mesh belt 4, thereby using the vertical rods 6 to block the food in the channel. The staggered arrangement of a number of conveying rollers 5 on the two mesh belts 4 can make the gaps of the blocking structure smaller, improve the blocking effect, and the combined use of the vertical rods 6 on the two mesh belts 4 can reduce the number of vertical rods 6 arranged on a single mesh belt 4.

[0020] Furthermore, the vertical rod 6 rotates on the mesh belt 4, and the vertical rod 6 and the mesh belt 4 are elastically connected through an elastic piece 7; Since the vertical rod 6 needs to bypass the conveying roller 5 and move at the position of the conveying roller 5, there is a risk of collision restriction between the vertical rod 6 and the rotating ring 3. To solve this problem and ensure that the vertical rod 6 can move smoothly, the vertical rod 6 can be made to rotate on the mesh belt 4, and the elastic piece 7 is used to provide a reset elastic force for the vertical rod 6. In this way, when the vertical rod 6 moves to the position of the rotating ring 3, the side wall of the rotating ring 3 will push the vertical rod 6 to rotate and fall, so that the vertical rod 6 can smoothly bypass the rotating ring 3 and move.

[0021] Furthermore, guide edges 8 are arranged at both ends of the mesh belt 4 in the width direction of the mesh belt 4. The cross-section of the guide edge 8 is arc-shaped, and on the inner side of the channel, the arc-shaped cross-section directions of the four guide edges 8 are in the clockwise direction or the counterclockwise direction; When the food is conveyed in the channel, the food needs to perform a flipping motion. If only relying on the included angle position between the mesh belt 4 and the blocking structure to block and turn the food, it is easy to cause the food to slide smoothly from the mesh belt 4 to the blocking structure, making the food unable to perform a flipping motion. Therefore, guide edges 8 need to be arranged on each end surface in the width direction of the mesh belt 4. By using the arc shape of the guide edge 8, a more effective blocking effect can be provided for the food, combined with the buoyancy or gravity acting on the food, so that the food can be smoothly turned over between the blocking structure and the mesh belt 4; It should be noted that the clockwise or counterclockwise setting of the arc directions of the four guide edges 8 is related to the rotation direction of the rotating ring 3. When the rotating ring 3 rotates clockwise, the arc directions of the several guide edges 8 are set clockwise, that is, as Figure 4 shown, the arc direction of the right guide edge 8 of the upper mesh belt 4 is downward, the arc direction of its left guide edge 8 is to the right, the arc direction of the right side of the lower mesh belt 4 is to the left, and the arc direction of its left guide edge 8 is upward. When the rotating ring 3 rotates counterclockwise, the arc direction settings of the four guide edges 8 are adjusted correspondingly, so that the floating or sinking food can be flipped; Since the mesh belt 4 needs to be continuously conveyed, it is only necessary to limit the arc directions of some of the guide edges 8 on the inner side of the channel.

[0022] Furthermore, fixed beams 9 are correspondingly arranged on each rotating ring 3. The fixed beams 9 are fixed on the oil tank 1. A support ring 10 is arranged on the fixed beam 9. The rotating ring 3 is rotatably arranged in the support ring 10. Two rolling wheels 11 are oppositely arranged on the outer wall of the rotating ring 3 along the circumferential direction of the rotating ring 3. The rolling wheels 11 roll on the end face of the support ring 10. The two rolling wheels 11 are respectively in transmission connection with the two conveying rollers 5 in the rotating ring 3; A toothed ring 12 is arranged on the rotating ring 3. A motor 13 is arranged on the fixed beam 9. A gear 14 for meshing and driving with the toothed ring 12 is arranged at the output end of the motor 13; The fixed beam 9 can be fixed on the oil tank 1 by means of bolt connection, welding or other connection methods. The fixed beam 9 supports the rotating ring 3 through the support ring 10. When it is necessary to operate the rotating ring 3 and the mesh belt 4, the motor 13 drives the toothed ring 12 to rotate through the gear 14. The toothed ring 12 drives the rotating ring 3 to rotate. The rotating ring 3 drives the two mesh belts 4 to perform a rotating motion. The motion of the rotating ring 3 will drive the rolling wheels 11 to roll on the side wall of the support ring 10, thereby enabling the rolling wheels 11 to provide power for the rotation of the conveying rollers 5 and the mesh belt 4; In order to convey the two mesh belts 4 in the same direction in the channel, the positions of the two rolling wheels 11 on the rotating ring 3 need to correspond in the circumferential direction of the rotating ring 3.

[0023] Furthermore, the support ring 10 is vibratably arranged in the vertical direction; When conveying and turning over food in the channel, in order to prevent the food from always adhering to the mesh belt 4 or the blocking structure and being unable to suspend the food in the oil, it is necessary to specially set the operation modes of the support ring 10 and the rotating ring 3. Specifically, the support ring 10 is allowed to perform a vibrating motion in the vertical direction. In this way, the floating food is pressed down by the upper mesh belt 4 or the upper blocking structure and briefly suspends in the oil. The sinking food can also briefly suspend in the oil. Thus, there are no more blocking objects around the food, realizing the all-round frying method of the oil on the food.

[0024] Furthermore, a plurality of sliding columns 15 are vertically arranged on the support ring 10. The sliding columns 15 slide through the fixed beam 9, and the sliding columns 15 are elastically connected with the fixed beam 9 through springs 16; The output end of the motor 13 and the axis of the gear 14 are relatively eccentrically arranged; In the present invention, since the axis of the gear 14 and the output shaft of the motor 13 are eccentrically arranged, the rotational power provided by the motor 13 for the gear 14 will cause the gear 14 to move in the vertical direction. The spring 16 provides an upward elastic pulling force for the support ring 10 through the sliding column 15, so that the toothed ring 12 and the motor 13 always remain in a meshing state. In this way, the eccentrically moving gear 14 drives the support ring 10 and the rotating ring 3 to perform a reciprocating motion in the vertical direction, thereby achieving the purpose of vibrating the rotating ring 3.

[0025] Furthermore, the axis of the rolling wheel 11 is eccentrically arranged relative to the axis of the corresponding conveying roller 5; The rotating ring 3 is provided with sliding grooves corresponding to the ends of the conveying rollers 5. A moving seat 17 that slides along the axis direction of the rotating ring 3 is arranged in the sliding grooves. The end of the conveying roller 5 passes through the moving seat 17 and is connected to the rolling wheel 11; Wherein, a plurality of ribs 18 are arranged on the surface of each mesh belt 4; In the present invention, since the rotating ring 3 can rotate on the supporting ring 10, and the rotational power of the conveying roller 5 is provided by the rolling of the rolling wheel 11 on the supporting ring 10, generally one rolling wheel 11 is arranged on each conveying roller 5. In some embodiments, to improve the force balance of the conveying roller 5, the number of supporting rings 10 can be set to two, and the rolling wheels 11 arranged at both ends of the conveying roller 5 respectively correspond to the two supporting rings 10, so as to realize the driving effect on both ends of the conveying roller 5 through the two supporting rings 10; for the mesh belt 4, since the rolling wheel 11 and the conveying roller 5 are relatively eccentric, in the horizontal direction, the rolling wheel 11 will drive the conveying roller 5 to move laterally through the moving seat 17, so that the two mesh belts 4 can reciprocate in the horizontal direction. The reciprocating movement of the mesh belt 4 can drive the food on it to move synchronously. Due to the damping effect of the oil liquid, the food stacked on the mesh belt 4 is dispersed, avoiding mutual occlusion between the foods and improving the frying effect; It should be noted that since the two rotating rings 3 need to drive the mesh belt 4 to reciprocate in the horizontal direction, the eccentric directions of the rolling wheels 11 on the two rotating rings 3 and the corresponding conveying rollers 5 are the same, so that the two rotating rings 3 can use the rolling wheels 11 thereon to synchronously push the mesh belt 4 to move horizontally back and forth, ensuring that the mesh belt 4 can always be on the two rotating rings 3 and run smoothly, and avoiding the eccentric directions of the rolling wheels 11 on the two rotating rings 3 and the corresponding conveying rollers 5 being opposite, resulting in the two rotating rings 3 synchronously pushing the two conveying rollers 5 on the mesh belt 4 to move away from each other on both sides and causing pulling damage to the mesh belt 4; The arrangement of the ribs 18 can help push the food to move laterally along with the mesh belt 4 and avoid slipping.

[0026] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, several improvements and deformations can be made, and these improvements and deformations should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
