[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of overturning structures, in particular to an auxiliary structure of a food processing fryer. Background Art

[0002] Fried food is an important category, and its industrial production has continuously increased the performance requirements of processing equipment. Traditional frying equipment needs to press the food into the oil through a pressing structure when frying food. The pressing of the food will cause the upper surface of the food to be blocked, and the oil cannot roll the upper surface of the food. Alternatively, the food must be turned over manually to fully fry the food. This method is mainly for foods that can float on the oil surface. For foods that sink to the bottom, their bottom will also cause obstruction, making it impossible to fully fry the food. In addition, the manual turning of the food is relatively dangerous, requires a lot of manpower and time, and is inefficient. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0029] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the orientations or positional relationships indicated by “center”, “up”, “down”, “left”, “right”, “vertical”, “horizontal”, “inside” and “outside” are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0030] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integrated connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium, or they can refer to internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances. This embodiment is written in a progressive manner.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the auxiliary structure of a food processing fryer of the present invention is installed in an oil tank 1 and is used to turn the food in the oil tank 1. It includes two rotating rings 3 arranged opposite to each other along the length direction of the oil tank 1 and two mesh belts 4 located between the two rotating rings 3 and distributed in an upper and lower direction. The mesh belts 4 are horizontal, and conveying rollers 5 are provided at both ends of the mesh belts 4. The conveying rollers 5 are rotatably arranged in the rotating rings 3.

[0032] Among them, a channel for conveying food is formed between the two mesh belts 4, and blocking structures are provided on both sides of the channel along the width direction of the mesh belt 4;

[0033] In the present invention, the rotating ring 3 can drive the two mesh belts 4 to perform a circular turning motion, and the conveying roller 5 can drive the mesh belts 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 consistent, that is, the bottom surface movement direction of the upper mesh belt 4 is consistent with the top surface movement direction of the lower mesh belt 4; if only two mesh belts 4 are used to form the channel, the front and rear sides of the channel will be open, which can easily cause food to move out of the channel through the open position;

[0034] When in use, the auxiliary structure is installed in the oil tank 1, and the left and right sides of the oil tank 1 are provided with a material guide structure 2, which is used to feed food into the auxiliary structure or remove food discharged from the auxiliary structure; the food is introduced into the channel between the two mesh belts 4 through the material guide structure 2 on one side of the oil tank 1, and the oil liquid level 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, part of the food entering the channel floats on the bottom surface of the upper mesh belt 4, and the remaining part of the food sinks to the top surface of the lower mesh belt 4. Conveying motion, so the two mesh belts 4 will transport the food between them horizontally, and the food will move horizontally in the oil tank 1 and be fried. During this process, the two rotating rings 3 rotate, and the two rotating rings 3 will drive the two mesh belts 4 above them to perform synchronous circular motion, thereby turning the food in the channel. Both the floating food and the sinking food can be turned over, and different sides of the food can contact the oil, thereby achieving comprehensive frying of the food. When the frying is completed, the food is transported horizontally to another material guide structure 2 and removed from the oil tank 1;

[0035] 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; because the two mesh belts 4 can continuously convey the food, the food can be continuously conveyed and fried, thereby improving the continuity of food processing;

[0036] By adopting the method of using two mesh belts 4 to form a channel and convey food, continuous frying of food can be achieved, and as the channel moves in a circular motion, the food can be turned over in the channel, thereby avoiding the tedious operation of manually turning over the food, and realizing an automatic turning working mode. Moreover, this method is applicable to both floating food and sinking food, thereby improving the functionality of the equipment.

[0037] Furthermore, the blocking structure is a plurality of vertical rods 6 arranged at intervals at both ends of the mesh belt 4 in the width direction, and the plurality of vertical rods 6 on the two mesh belts 4 are staggered;

[0038] The plurality of vertical rods 6 on the mesh belt 4 are divided into two groups, front and rear, and are respectively arranged at both ends of the width direction of the mesh belt 4, thereby utilizing the vertical rods 6 to block the food in the channel, and the staggered arrangement of the plurality of conveyor rollers 5 on the two mesh belts 4 can make the gap of the blocking structure smaller, thereby improving the blocking effect, and the coordinated use of the vertical rods 6 on the two mesh belts 4 can reduce the number of vertical rods 6 set on a single mesh belt 4.

[0039] Furthermore, the vertical rod 6 rotates on the mesh belt 4, and the vertical rod 6 and the mesh belt 4 are elastically connected via the spring sheet 7;

[0040] Since the upright pole 6 needs to bypass the conveyor roller 5 and move at the position of the conveyor roller 5, there is a risk of collision restriction between the upright pole 6 and the rotating ring 3. In order to solve this problem and ensure that the upright pole 6 can move smoothly, the upright pole 6 can be rotated on the mesh belt 4, and the spring piece 7 is used to provide a reset elastic force for the upright pole 6. In this way, when the upright pole 6 moves to the position of the rotating ring 3, the side wall of the rotating ring 3 will push the upright pole 6 to rotate and tilt, so that the upright pole 6 can smoothly bypass the rotating ring 3 and move.

[0041] Furthermore, guide edges 8 are provided at both ends of the mesh belt 4 along 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 direction of the four guide edges 8 is clockwise or counterclockwise;

[0042] Since the food needs to be turned over when it is transported in the channel, if the food is only blocked and turned over by the angle between the mesh belt 4 and the blocking structure, it is easy to cause the food to slide smoothly from the mesh belt 4 to the blocking structure, making it impossible for the food to be turned over. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a guide edge 8 on each end face of the mesh belt 4 in the width direction. The arc shape of the guide edge 8 can more effectively provide a blocking effect on the food. Combined with the buoyancy or gravity effect on the food, the food can be turned over smoothly between the blocking structure and the mesh belt 4.

[0043] It should be noted that the clockwise or counterclockwise arrangement 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 arranged clockwise, that is, Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the arc direction of the right guide edge 8 of the upper mesh belt 4 is downward, the arc direction of the left guide edge 8 is rightward, the arc direction of the right side of the lower mesh belt 4 is leftward, and the arc direction of the left guide edge 8 is upward. When the rotating ring 3 rotates counterclockwise, the arc direction settings of the four guide edges 8 can be adjusted accordingly, so that the floating or sinking food can be turned over;

[0044] Since the mesh belt 4 needs to be continuously transported, it is only necessary to limit the arc direction of a portion of the guide edge 8 on the inner side of the channel.

[0045] Furthermore, each rotating ring 3 is correspondingly provided with a fixed beam 9, which is fixed to the oil tank 1. A support ring 10 is provided on the fixed beam 9. The rotating ring 3 is rotatably provided in the support ring 10. Two rolling wheels 11 are provided 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 surface of the support ring 10. The two rolling wheels 11 are respectively connected to the two conveying rollers 5 in the rotating ring 3.

[0046] A gear ring 12 is provided on the rotating ring 3, a motor 13 is provided on the fixed beam 9, and a gear 14 is provided at the output end of the motor 13 for meshing with the gear ring 12 for transmission;

[0047] The fixed beam 9 can be fixed to the oil tank 1 by bolt connection, welding or other connection methods. The fixed beam 9 supports the rotating ring 3 through the support ring 10. When the rotating ring 3 and the mesh belt 4 need to be operated, the motor 13 drives the gear ring 12 to rotate through the gear 14, and the gear ring 12 drives the rotating ring 3 to rotate. The rotating ring 3 drives the two mesh belts 4 to rotate, and the movement of the rotating ring 3 drives the rolling wheel 11 to roll on the side wall of the support ring 10, thereby enabling the rolling wheel 11 to provide power for the rotation of the conveyor roller 5 and the mesh belt 4;

[0048] In order to enable the two mesh belts 4 in the channel to transport in the same direction, the positions of the two rolling wheels 11 on the rotating ring 3 need to correspond to each other in the circumferential direction of the rotating ring 3 .

[0049] Furthermore, the support ring 10 can be vibrated in the vertical direction;

[0050] When the food is transported and turned over in the channel, in order to prevent the food from always sticking to the mesh belt 4 or the blocking structure and preventing the food from being suspended in the oil, it is necessary to make special settings for the operation mode of the support ring 10 and the rotating ring 3. Specifically, the support ring 10 is allowed to vibrate in the vertical direction, so that the floating food is temporarily suspended in the oil due to the downward pressure of the upper mesh belt 4 or the upper blocking structure, and the sinking food can also be temporarily suspended in the oil, thereby eliminating the obstruction around the food and realizing a full-surrounding frying method of the food by the oil.

[0051] Furthermore, a plurality of sliding posts 15 are vertically arranged on the support ring 10 , and the sliding posts 15 slide through the fixed beam 9 , and the sliding posts 15 and the fixed beam 9 are elastically connected via springs 16 ;

[0052] The output end of the motor 13 is eccentrically arranged relative to the axis of the gear 14;

[0053] In the present invention, since the axis of the gear 14 is eccentrically arranged with respect to the output shaft of the motor 13, the rotational power provided by the motor 13 to the gear 14 will cause the gear 14 to move in the vertical direction. The spring 16 provides an upward elastic pulling force to the support ring 10 through the sliding column 15, so that the gear ring 12 and the motor 13 always maintain an engaged state. In this way, the eccentrically moving gear 14 drives the support ring 10 and the rotating ring 3 to reciprocate in the vertical direction, thereby achieving the purpose of vibration of the rotating ring 3.

[0054] Furthermore, the axis of the rolling wheel 11 is eccentrically arranged relative to the axis of the corresponding conveying roller 5;

[0055] The rotating ring 3 is provided with a chute corresponding to the end of each conveying roller 5. A movable seat 17 is provided in the chute and slides along the axis of the rotating ring 3. The end of the conveying roller 5 passes through the movable seat 17 and is connected to the rolling wheel 11.

[0056] Among them, the surface of each mesh belt 4 is arranged with a number of ribs 18;

[0057] In the present invention, since the rotating ring 3 can rotate on the support ring 10, and the rotational power of the conveying roller 5 is provided by the rolling wheel 11 rolling on the support ring 10, each conveying roller 5 is generally provided with a rolling wheel 11. In some embodiments, in order to improve the force balance of the conveying roller 5, the number of support rings 10 can be set to two, and the rolling wheels 11 provided at both ends of the conveying roller 5 correspond to the two support rings 10 respectively, thereby realizing the transmission effect of the two ends of the conveying roller 5 through the two support rings 10; and for the mesh belt 4, since the rolling wheel 11 is relatively eccentric to the conveying roller 5, in the horizontal direction, the rolling wheel 11 will drive the conveying roller 5 to move horizontally through the movable seat 17, so that the two mesh belts 4 can reciprocate in the horizontal direction. The reciprocating motion of the mesh belt 4 can drive the food thereon to move synchronously, and due to the damping effect of the oil, the food stacked on the mesh belt 4 is dispersed, avoiding mutual obstruction between the foods, thereby improving the frying effect;

[0058] It should be pointed out that, since the two rotating rings 3 need to drive the mesh belt 4 to reciprocate in the horizontal direction, the rolling wheels 11 on the two rotating rings 3 are in the same eccentric direction as the corresponding conveying rollers 5, so that the two rotating rings 3 can use the rolling wheels 11 thereon to synchronously push the mesh belt 4 to reciprocate horizontally, 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 away from the sides and causing pulling damage to the mesh belt 4;

[0059] The provision of the ribs 18 can help push the food to move laterally along the mesh belt 4 to avoid slipping.

[0060] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
