Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of frying equipment technology, and more specifically, to an automated frying food processing equipment and method. Background Technology
[0002] Pan-fried foods are traditional staple foods made from flour, eggs, and other ingredients and are very popular among the people. Examples include pancakes and flatbreads. They can be eaten with various meats, eggs, and vegetables. The main nutrients are carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Pan-fried foods are nutritious and rich in nutrients.
[0003] Most pan-fried foods are made manually. However, automated pan-frying equipment has emerged. For example, patent document CN102524344B discloses a fully automatic pancake machine. This machine mainly consists of a pancake-making mechanism and a pancake box. The pancake-making mechanism includes a dough sheet making device, a dough sheet oil spraying device, a dough sheet pressure guiding device, a conveyor platform, and a dough sheet cutting device. The pancake box includes a shell with a dough sheet inlet and an outlet. Inside the shell are two parallel dough sheet conveyor belts driven by sprockets and spaced at a certain distance. The two conveyor belts form a continuous S-shaped path through sprockets and positioning support rollers, thus creating several transmission layers. Electric heating tubes are installed between each transmission layer. The conveyor end of the conveyor platform of the pancake-making mechanism connects to the dough sheet inlet of the pancake box via a connecting plate. The significant advantage of this fully automatic pancake machine is that it can completely replace the traditional manual pancake-making and baking process, saving manpower and improving production efficiency, enabling mass production of pancakes in a short time while ensuring taste and quality. However, it uses multiple electric heating elements to intermittently fry the pancakes, which can lead to poor pancake-making results. Also, the oil on the pancakes tends to decrease during frying, which can also affect the pancake-making effect.
[0004] In summary, there is an urgent need for an automated food processing equipment and method to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The present invention provides an automated food processing equipment and method for pan-frying, which can realize continuous pulse pan-frying of pancakes.
[0006] According to the present invention, an automated food processing device for frying includes an electric turntable, and a plurality of automatic frying devices are arranged circumferentially on the top surface of the electric turntable, wherein one automatic frying device corresponds to the input belt and an adjacent automatic frying device corresponds to the output belt.
[0007] The automatic frying equipment includes a top frying pan and a bottom frying pan. A first electric telescopic rod is provided on both sides of the top frying pan and the bottom frying pan. The first electric telescopic rod includes a fixed rod and a movable rod. The fixed rod is connected to the bottom frying pan, and the top of the movable rod is connected to the top frying pan. The fixed rod is rotatably connected to a vertical rod and is driven to rotate by a motor. The vertical rod is fixedly installed on the top surface of the electric turntable.
[0008] The top and bottom frying pans are each equipped with a frying cavity. A griddle is installed inside each frying cavity. A second electric telescopic rod is installed on the inside of the griddle and is installed at the bottom of the corresponding frying cavity. A ring is fitted on the griddle, and a disc is connected to the bottom of the ring. Multiple third electric telescopic rods are connected to the bottom of the disc and are installed at the bottom of the corresponding frying cavity.
[0009] The electric turntable can rotate the automatic frying equipment, so that multiple automatic frying devices can take turns corresponding to the input and output belts. The automatic frying equipment is used to fry pancakes, thus realizing continuous pulse frying of pancakes.
[0010] In the automatic frying equipment, the top and bottom frying pans can be opened and closed by extending and retracting the first electric telescopic rod, thus better maintaining the temperature of the frying chamber during frying. The griddle can be height-adjusted by the second electric telescopic rod, allowing the griddle in both the top and bottom frying pans to adhere to the top and bottom surfaces of the pancake, achieving simultaneous frying on both sides for higher efficiency and better results. The ring can be extended and retracted by the third electric telescopic rod. When the ring extends above the griddle, it effectively protects and limits the pancake. When the upper and lower rings abut against each other, the space containing the pancake is sealed, thus better maintaining the frying temperature.
[0011] The motor drives the automatic frying equipment to rotate, allowing it to fry while rotating. This ensures the oil in the frying chamber repeatedly contacts the entire surface of the pancake during the rotation, resulting in higher efficiency and better results. Furthermore, the two interlocking rings prevent oil from splashing everywhere during rotation; the oil remains within the space formed by the two rings. If oil leaks out, it can only escape through the gap between the rings and the griddle, remaining inside the griddle. Subsequent cleaning of the griddle's inner space is all that's needed.
[0012] Ideally, the griddle should have an arc-shaped outer surface, with a lower center and higher sides. This allows the oil to flow from the sides to the center, especially when flipping the pancake. After the oil falls from the sides, it flows towards the center, ensuring that the entire surface of the pancake is in better contact with the oil, resulting in better frying results.
[0013] Preferably, the input and output tapes are provided with inclined plates at their respective ends.
[0014] The inclined plate design allows the dough to slide smoothly from the input belt into the automatic frying equipment and also slide easily from the automatic frying equipment onto the output belt.
[0015] Preferably, an oil spraying device is provided between one of the automatic frying devices and the adjacent automatic frying device, and an oil spraying device is also provided between one of the automatic frying devices and the adjacent automatic frying device; the oil spraying device is equipped with a rotatable spray gun, which can be aimed at the griddle or at the inclined plate at the input belt.
[0016] The oil spraying device allows for re-oiling the griddle surface after the pancake is removed, and spraying oil on the top of the pancake after it is placed on the griddle, resulting in better double-sided frying.
[0017] Preferably, the second and third electric telescopic rods are respectively provided with protective devices on their outer sides. The protective devices include protective sleeves, with an elastic sleeve connected to the top of the protective sleeves, the bottom of the protective sleeves connected to the bottom of the frying cavity, and the top of the elastic sleeves connected to the inner side of the corresponding griddle or the inner side of the disc.
[0018] The protective device is designed to prevent leaked oil from affecting the operation of the second and third electric telescopic masts.
[0019] Preferably, the disc has a through hole in the middle, through which the second electric telescopic rod and the corresponding protective device pass.
[0020] Preferably, one of the rings fitted on the two griddles has a convex ring and the other has a groove, with the convex ring and the groove fitting together.
[0021] This invention provides an automated method for processing fried food, which employs the aforementioned automated fried food processing equipment and includes the following steps:
[0022] 1. Rotate the electric turntable clockwise to align an automatic frying device with the input belt;
[0023] 2. The prepared dough is fed into the griddle of the automatic frying equipment via the input belt; before feeding, the third electric telescopic rod on the bottom frying plate extends and the ring extends so that the ring can block the dough;
[0024] 3. Rotate the electric turntable to move the automatic frying equipment away. At the same time, the third electric telescopic rod on the bottom frying plate extends, further extending the ring so that half of the dough is inside the ring.
[0025] Fourth, retract the first electric telescopic rod to close the top and bottom frying pans;
[0026] 5. By extending and retracting the second electric telescopic rod on the top and bottom griddles, both the upper and lower griddles are placed against the dough, and the dough is located in the center of the automatic griddle.
[0027] 6. Extend the third electric telescopic rod on the top griddle to extend the corresponding ring and press the two rings together.
[0028] 7. Begin double-sided frying, and during the frying process, the top and bottom frying pans will be flipped by a motor.
[0029] 8. After the pancake is cooked, the motor will make the cooked pancake horizontal and reset the first, second and third electric telescopic rods to open the automatic cooking equipment.
[0030] 9. When the automatic frying equipment is rotated to the output belt position, the second electric telescopic rod is extended first to make the pancake higher than the frying chamber. Then, the motor rotates the automatic frying equipment to make the fried pancake slide into the output belt and be sent out.
[0031] 10. The automatic frying equipment rotates to the input belt to start the next round of frying. When one automatic frying equipment is aligned with the input belt, the adjacent automatic frying equipment is aligned with the output belt. Then the rotation continues, and the next automatic frying equipment is aligned. The feeding and discharging are synchronized to realize continuous pulsed frying.
[0032] Preferably, when the automatic frying equipment at the output belt moves to the input belt, the griddle is oiled using an oil spraying device; during the process of the automatic frying equipment at the input belt moving to the next station, the griddle is oiled using an oil spraying device, at which time the oil is sprayed onto the top surface of the dough; the oil spraying device rotates at regular intervals, aiming the spray gun at the inclined plate at the input belt to spray oil onto the inclined plate.
[0033] Preferably, the dough blank slides from the input belt onto the griddle via the corresponding inclined plate. Since the griddle has an arc-shaped outer surface, with a lower middle and higher sides, the position of the dough blank is adjusted by extending and retracting the second electric telescopic rod. The dough blank then slides from the griddle onto the output belt via the corresponding inclined plate.
[0034] In step two, before inputting the dough, the bottom griddle is rotated by a motor to tilt it so that it aligns with the inclined plate, allowing the dough to slide smoothly onto the griddle. After the dough slides onto the griddle, the bottom griddle returns to a horizontal position.
[0035] This method achieves continuous pulsed frying of pancakes using an electric turntable. By confining the pancakes within the automatic frying equipment and flipping them while frying, the frying efficiency and results are high. Attached Figure Description

[0042] To further understand the content of this invention, a detailed description of the invention will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments are merely illustrative and not limiting of the invention.
[0043] Example
[0044] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides an automated food processing equipment for frying, which includes an electric turntable 110. Multiple automatic frying devices 120 are arranged circumferentially on the top surface of the electric turntable 110. One of the automatic frying devices 120 corresponds to the input belt 130, and an adjacent automatic frying device 120 corresponds to the output belt 140. A base is provided below the electric turntable 110, so that the automatic frying devices 120 are at a suitable height, which facilitates the operation of the equipment.
[0045] The automatic frying equipment 120 includes a top frying pan 121 and a bottom frying pan 122. A first electric telescopic rod 123 is provided on each side of the top and bottom frying pans 121 and 122 respectively. The first electric telescopic rod 123 includes a fixed rod 1231 and a movable rod 1232. The fixed rod 1231 is connected to the bottom frying pan 122, and the top of the movable rod 1232 is connected to the top frying pan 121. The fixed rod 1231 is rotatably connected to a vertical rod 124 and is driven to rotate by a motor 125. The vertical rod 124 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the electric turntable 110.
[0046] The top frying pan 121 and the bottom frying pan 122 are respectively provided with frying cavities 210. The frying cavity 210 is provided with a griddle 220. The griddle 220 is provided with a second electric telescopic rod 230 on its inner side. The second electric telescopic rod 230 is installed at the bottom of the corresponding frying cavity 210. The griddle 220 is fitted with a ring 240. The bottom end of the ring 240 is connected to a disc 250. The bottom end of the disc 250 is connected to multiple third electric telescopic rods 260. The third electric telescopic rods 260 are installed at the bottom of the corresponding frying cavity 210.
[0047] In this embodiment, the griddle 220 is an electrically heated griddle, and its temperature can be adjusted.
[0048] The electric turntable 110 can rotate the automatic frying device 120. In this way, multiple automatic frying devices 120 can take turns corresponding to the input belt 130 and the output belt 140. The automatic frying device 120 is used to fry pancakes, thus realizing continuous pulse frying of pancakes.
[0049] In the automatic frying equipment 120, the top frying plate 121 and the bottom frying plate 122 can open and close the frying cavity 210 by extending and retracting the first electric telescopic rod 123, thus better maintaining the temperature of the frying cavity 210 during frying. The griddle 220 can be height-adjusted by the second electric telescopic rod 230, so that the griddle 220 in both the top and bottom frying plates 121 and 122 can be attached to the top and bottom surfaces of the dough, thus achieving simultaneous frying on both sides, which is more efficient and has better results. The ring 240 can extend and retract by the third electric telescopic rod 260. When the ring 240 extends and is higher than the griddle 220, the ring 240 can better protect and limit the dough. When the upper and lower rings 240 abut against each other, the space where the dough is located is closed, thus better maintaining the frying temperature.
[0050] The motor 125 can drive the automatic frying device 120 to rotate, so that the automatic frying device 120 can fry while rotating. The oil in the frying chamber 210 can repeatedly contact the entire surface of the dough during the rotation, thus making the frying efficiency higher and the effect better. The motor 125 can also adjust the tilt angle of the automatic frying device 120, making it easier for the dough to slide onto the griddle (220). In addition, the two rings 240 abut against each other to prevent the oil from being splashed everywhere during rotation. The oil is always kept within the space formed by the two rings 240. When oil leaks out, it can only leak out from the gap between the rings 240 and the griddle 220. This will leak into the inner space of the griddle 220, and the inner space of the griddle 220 only needs to be cleaned afterward.
[0051] The griddle 220 has an arc-shaped outer surface, lower in the middle and higher on both sides. This allows the oil to flow from both sides to the middle, especially when flipping the pan. After the oil on both sides falls, it flows to the middle, ensuring that the entire surface of the dough can be in better contact with the oil, thus resulting in better frying results.
[0052] The input band 130 and the output band 140 are respectively equipped with inclined plates 150.
[0053] The inclined plate 150 allows the dough to slide into the automatic frying equipment 120 from the input belt 130 more easily, and also allows it to slide out of the automatic frying equipment 120 onto the output belt 140 more easily.
[0054] An oil spraying device 160 is provided between one of the automatic frying devices 120 and the adjacent automatic frying device 120, and an oil spraying device 160 is also provided between one of the automatic frying devices 120 and the adjacent automatic frying device 120; the oil spraying device 160 is equipped with a rotatable spray gun 161, which can be aimed at the griddle 220 or at the inclined plate 150 at the input belt 130.
[0055] The oil spraying device 160 allows for re-oiling of the griddle 220 surface after the dough is removed, and spraying oil on the top surface of the dough after it is placed on the griddle 220, resulting in better double-sided frying. Additionally, the spray gun 161 on the oil spraying device 160 can rotate and be aimed at the inclined plate 150 at the input belt 130, allowing for oil spraying of the inclined plate 150. This makes it easier for the dough to slide onto the griddle 220 after the inclined plate is sprayed with oil.
[0056] The second electric telescopic rod 230 and the third electric telescopic rod 260 are respectively provided with protective devices 310. The protective device 310 includes a protective sleeve 311. The top end of the protective sleeve 311 is connected to an elastic sleeve 312. The bottom end of the protective sleeve 311 is connected to the bottom of the frying chamber 210. The top end of the elastic sleeve 312 is connected to the inner side of the corresponding griddle 220 or the inner side of the disc 250.
[0057] The protection device 310 is designed to prevent oil from affecting the operation of the second electric telescopic rod 230 and the third electric telescopic rod 260 (oil may flow to the third electric telescopic rod 260 during oil injection).
[0058] The disc 250 has a through hole 251 in the middle, through hole 251 for the second electric telescopic rod 230 and the corresponding protective device 310 to pass through.
[0059] On the two griddles 220, there are two rings 240. One ring 240 has a protruding ring 241 and the other ring 240 has a groove 242. The protruding ring 241 and the groove 242 are matched and a sealing gasket is provided.
[0060] The engagement of the convex ring 241 and the groove 242, along with the sealing gasket, improves the sealing performance when the two rings 240 abut against each other, thereby preventing oil from leaking out from the gap between the two rings 240 as much as possible.
[0061] This embodiment provides an automated method for processing fried food, which uses the aforementioned automated fried food processing equipment and includes the following steps:
[0062] 1. Rotate the electric turntable 110 clockwise so that an automatic frying device 120 corresponds to the input belt 130;
[0063] 2. The prepared dough is fed from the input belt 130 onto the griddle 220 inside the automatic frying device 120. Before feeding, the third electric telescopic rod 260 on the bottom frying plate 122 extends and extends the ring 240 so that the ring 240 can block the dough. After the ring 240 extends, it can block the dough from sliding in and prevent the dough from going too far.
[0064] 3. Rotate the electric turntable 110 to move the automatic frying equipment 120 away. At the same time, the third electric telescopic rod 260 on the bottom frying plate 122 extends and the ring 240 continues to extend, so that half of the dough is located inside the ring 240.
[0065] Fourth, the top griddle 121 and the bottom griddle 122 are closed by retracting the first electric telescopic rod 123;
[0066] 5. By extending and retracting the second electric telescopic rod 230 on the top griddle 121 and the bottom griddle 122, both the upper and lower griddles 220 are placed against the dough, and the dough is located in the center of the automatic griddle 120.
[0067] 6. Extend the third electric telescopic rod 260 on the top griddle 121 to extend the corresponding ring 240, so that the two rings 240 are pressed together.
[0068] 7. Begin double-sided frying, and during the frying process, the top frying plate 121 and the bottom frying plate 122 are flipped by the motor 125;
[0069] 8. After the pancake is cooked, the motor 125 makes the cooked pancake horizontal and resets the first electric telescopic rod 123, the second electric telescopic rod 230 and the third electric telescopic rod 260, so that the automatic cooking equipment 120 is in the open state.
[0070] 9. When the automatic frying equipment 120 rotates to the output belt 140 position, the second electric telescopic rod 230 extends first to make the pancake higher than the frying chamber 210, and then the motor 125 rotates the automatic frying equipment 120 to make the fried pancake slide into the output belt 140 and be sent out.
[0071] 10. The automatic frying equipment 120 moves to the input belt 130 to start the next round of frying process; when one automatic frying equipment 120 corresponds to the input belt 130, the adjacent automatic frying equipment 120 corresponds to the output belt 140, and feeds and discharges synchronously to realize continuous pulse frying.
[0072] When the automatic frying device 120 at the output belt 140 moves to the input belt 130, the oil spraying device 160 adds oil to the griddle 220. During the process of the automatic frying device 120 at the input belt 130 moving to the next station, the oil spraying device 160 adds oil to the griddle 220, spraying oil onto the top surface of the dough. The oil spraying device 160 rotates periodically, aiming the spray gun 161 at the inclined plate 150 at the input belt 130 to spray oil onto the inclined plate 150, making it easier for the dough to slide onto the griddle 220. The spray gun 161 not only needs to be able to rotate but also needs to have functions such as adjusting the angle and adjusting the position of the cavity opening.
[0073] The dough slides from the input belt 130 onto the griddle 220 via the corresponding inclined plate 150. Since the griddle 220 has an arc-shaped outer surface and is lower in the middle and higher on both sides, the position of the dough is adjusted by extending and retracting the second electric telescopic rod 230. The dough cake slides from the griddle 220 onto the output belt 140 via the corresponding inclined plate 150.
[0074] In step two, before inputting, the bottom griddle 122 is rotated by motor 125 to tilt the bottom griddle 122 and align it with the inclined plate 150, so that the pancake can slide smoothly onto the griddle 220; after the pancake slides onto the griddle 220, the bottom griddle 122 returns to horizontal.
[0075] In this embodiment, a sensor is provided above the right end of the input belt 130 (the end closest to the inclined plate 150). The sensor is used to sense the dough. When a dough is conveyed to the area below the sensor, the input belt 130 stops conveying. When the automatic frying device 120 is in place, that is, when the input belt 130 receives the command to continue conveying, the input belt 130 continues to convey, so that the dough slides from the inclined plate 150 into the automatic frying device 120. This embodiment requires a lot of sensors and control programs, but they can be learned and designed from the method of this embodiment, and will not be described one by one here.
[0076] This embodiment has a large number of electrical components, resulting in a large number of connecting wires. Appropriate wiring should be used according to the equipment structure and working method to ensure optimal equipment operation.
[0077] In this embodiment, the electric turntable 110 is used to achieve continuous pulsed frying of the pancake. By confining the pancake within the automatic frying device 120 and flipping it while frying, the frying efficiency of the pancake is high and the effect is good.
[0078] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above illustratively. This description is not restrictive, and the figures shown are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

After the pancake is cooked, the motor (125) makes the cooked pancake horizontal and resets the first electric telescopic rod (123), the second electric telescopic rod (230) and the third electric telescopic rod (260) so that the automatic pancake cooking equipment (120) is in the open state.
9. When the automatic frying equipment (120) is rotated to the output belt (140) position, the second electric telescopic rod (230) is extended first to make the pancake higher than the frying chamber (210), and then the automatic frying equipment (120) is rotated by the motor (125) so that the fried pancake slides into the output belt (140) and is transmitted out.
10. The automatic frying equipment (120) moves to the input belt (130) to carry out the next round of frying process; when one automatic frying equipment (120) corresponds to the input belt (130), the adjacent automatic frying equipment (120) corresponds to the output belt (140) to feed and discharge materials synchronously, thereby realizing continuous pulsed frying.
8. The automated pan-frying food processing method according to claim 7, characterized in that: When the automatic frying equipment (120) at the output belt (140) moves to the input belt (130), the oil spraying device (160) adds oil to the griddle (220); during the process of the automatic frying equipment (120) at the input belt (130) moving to the next station, the oil spraying device (160) adds oil to the griddle (220), at which time the oil will be sprayed onto the top surface of the dough; the oil spraying device (160) rotates at regular intervals, and the spray gun (161) is aimed at the inclined plate (150) at the input belt (130) to spray oil onto the inclined plate (150).
9. The automated pan-frying food processing method according to claim 8, characterized in that: The dough blank slides from the input belt (130) onto the griddle (220) via the corresponding inclined plate (150). Since the griddle (220) has an arc-shaped outer surface, with a lower middle and higher sides, the position of the dough blank is adjusted by extending and retracting the second electric telescopic rod (230). The dough blank slides from the griddle (220) onto the output belt (140) via the corresponding inclined plate (150). In step two, before inputting, the bottom griddle (122) is rotated by the motor (125) to tilt the bottom griddle (122) and align it with the inclined plate (150), so that the pancake can slide smoothly onto the griddle (220); after the pancake slides onto the griddle (220), the bottom griddle (122) returns to horizontal.
