Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of egg frying technology, and more specifically, to a suspended egg frying mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing industry, especially in the deep processing of egg products, fried egg products such as tiger-skin eggs are very popular in the market because of their unique flavor and taste. Traditional egg frying process usually adopts a batch frying method. Existing technologies include continuous frying equipment using chain conveyor belts or rotary drum structures. These devices typically place the eggs within a support structure, allowing them to pass sequentially through oil tanks as the chain or drum moves, thus achieving continuous production. However, in practical applications, it is still difficult to avoid static contact between the eggs and the support structure during frying, leading to localized overheating or indentation, affecting the uniformity of the tiger-skin pattern. Furthermore, some equipment uses spraying or overflow methods to circulate the oil, but because the oil flow path is fixed, the eggs cannot achieve dynamic suspension during frying, still posing a risk of adhesion or accumulation. Therefore, how to provide a frying mechanism that can keep the egg suspended, heat it evenly, and avoid rigid contact with the equipment during the frying process has become a technical problem to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the above deficiencies, this invention provides a suspended egg frying mechanism, which solves the aforementioned problems.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: The suspended egg frying mechanism includes eggs, oil, a frying tank, a conveyor hood, and a chain assembly, and also includes: The system consists of a support groove and round holes. The support groove is open at the top, and the round holes are located at the bottom. The bottom of the support groove is an arc. The movement path of the oil after passing through the round holes points to the center of the arc. The egg is located at the center of the arc, and the buoyancy generated by the oil counteracts the weight of the egg. The distance between the egg and the round holes is inversely proportional to the impact force of the oil on the egg, thus achieving automatic position adjustment. The system includes a connecting groove, a connecting pipe, a rectangular box, an oil outlet, and an opening / closing assembly. The connecting groove is installed below the supporting groove and connects to multiple round holes. The connecting pipe is installed below the connecting groove and connects to the oil outlet and the connecting groove. The chain assembly indirectly drives the connecting pipe to make a circular rotation. When the connecting pipe moves to the opening / closing assembly, at least one oil outlet is opened. When the connecting pipe leaves the opening / closing assembly, the oil outlet is closed. The oil movement path is: rectangular box, oil outlet, connecting pipe, connecting groove, round holes, and finally flows to the egg for frying.

[0005] Furthermore, each egg-shaped part corresponds to a connecting groove, the lower end of the supporting groove is hemispherical, the connecting groove connects multiple supporting grooves in series, and the connecting groove is in a connected state with the round hole.

[0006] Furthermore, multiple egg-shaped structures correspond to one connecting groove, with the lower end of the groove being semi-cylindrical and the two ends being quarter-spheres.

[0007] Furthermore, a flared plate is installed at the upper end of the support groove, and an overflow port is provided on the flared plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the chain assembly includes shafts installed at both ends of the frying box, each shaft having an independent drive system, sprockets installed at both ends of the shaft, chains installed on the sprockets, and support grooves installed at both ends of the chain sidewalls.

[0009] Furthermore, a bracket is installed inside the frying box, a rectangular box is mounted on the bracket, an oil pump is installed at the lower end of the rectangular box, the input end of the oil pump is connected to the rectangular box, and the oil outlets are arranged in a straight line on the rectangular box.

[0010] Furthermore, the opening and closing assembly includes a slide groove on a rectangular box, a baffle plate is provided in the slide groove, a pin is installed at one end of the baffle plate, a roller is installed at the upper end of the pin, and a compression spring is installed between the baffle plate and the slide groove; the sliding direction of the baffle plate is perpendicular to the moving direction of the connecting pipe, and the cross-section of the connecting pipe is circular; when the connecting pipe moves continuously, the side wall of the connecting pipe contacts the roller, pushing the baffle plate away from the oil outlet hole; when the connecting pipe leaves the oil outlet hole, the baffle plate automatically resets due to the elastic force of the compression spring.

[0011] Furthermore, the connecting pipe and the connecting groove are in a threaded, detachable state, and a high-temperature resistant sealing ring is provided on the lower surface of the connecting pipe.

[0012] Furthermore, a gas collection hood is installed above the frying box, a heating system is installed inside the frying box, and an insulation layer is installed on the outside of the frying box.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are: by setting up the support groove and the round hole, the movement path of the oil after passing through the round hole is directed towards the center of the arc. The egg is located at the center of the arc. The impact force of the oil and the buoyancy generated by the oil counteract the weight of the egg, so that the egg remains suspended during the frying process, avoiding static contact with the support groove, avoiding excessive local heating of the egg or the formation of indentations, and making the formation of tiger stripe pattern more uniform. When the egg approaches the left circular hole, the impact force of the oil sprayed from the left circular hole on the egg is greater than that of the oil sprayed from the right circular hole, causing the egg to move to the right; when the egg approaches the right circular hole, the oil in the right circular hole will also generate a reaction force, keeping the egg in a centered position. When the connecting pipe moves to the opening and closing assembly, at least one oil outlet is opened; when the connecting pipe leaves the opening and closing assembly, the oil outlet is closed; through the above mechanism, oil can be delivered into the support groove while the support groove moves.

[0015] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] This application provides a suspended egg frying mechanism; please refer to [reference needed]. Figures 1-8 It includes egg body 1, oil liquid 2, frying box 3, conveyor cover 4, and chain assembly 5, and also includes: The support groove 6 is open at the top, and the circular holes 7 are located at the bottom of the support groove 6. The bottom of the support groove 6 is an arc 601. The movement path of the oil 2 after passing through the circular holes 7 is towards the center of the arc 601. The egg body 1 is located at the center of the arc 601. The buoyancy generated by the oil 2 counteracts the weight of the egg body 1. The distance between the egg body 1 and the circular holes 7 is inversely proportional to the impact force of the oil 2 on the egg body 1, so as to realize automatic position adjustment. The components include a connecting groove 8, a connecting pipe 9, a rectangular box 10, an oil outlet 11, and an opening / closing assembly. The connecting groove 8 is installed below the supporting groove 6 and connects multiple round holes 7. The connecting pipe 9 is installed below the connecting groove 8 and connects the oil outlet 11 and the connecting groove 8. The chain assembly 5 indirectly drives the connecting pipe 9 to make a circular rotation. When the connecting pipe 9 moves to the opening / closing assembly, at least one oil outlet 11 is opened. When the connecting pipe 9 leaves the opening / closing assembly, the oil outlet 11 is closed. The oil 2 moves along the path of: rectangular box 10, oil outlet 11, connecting pipe 9, connecting groove 8, round holes 7, and finally flows to the egg body 1 for frying.

[0017] In practical applications, preparations are required before frying. First, preheated oil 2 is injected into the frying box 3, and then the heating system 92 is controlled to heat the oil 2 to the specified temperature. During operation, the chain assembly 5 is controlled to rotate, and the chain assembly 5 drives the support groove 6 to make a circular motion; at the same time, the oil pump 62 is controlled to work, and the oil pump 62 first delivers the oil 2 into the rectangular box 10. When the connecting pipe 9 moves to the opening and closing component, an oil outlet 11 is opened, and the oil 2 enters the connecting pipe 9 and the connecting groove 8 through the oil outlet 11, and is finally discharged through the round hole 7. As the support trough 6 passes the conveyor cover 4, the egg 1 enters the support trough 6 under the guidance of the conveyor cover 4, and the oil 2 continuously fries the egg 1. The movement path of the oil 2 is directed towards the egg body 1, keeping the egg body 1 in a continuous flipping state. By setting the distance between the egg body 1 and the round hole 7 to be inversely proportional to the impact force of the oil 2 on the egg body 1, the position of the egg body 1 can be automatically adjusted. For example, when the egg 1 approaches the left circular hole 7, the impact force of the oil 2 sprayed from the left circular hole 7 on the egg 1 is greater than the impact force of the oil 2 sprayed from the right circular hole 7, and the egg 1 moves to the right; at the same time, the egg 1 is in a suspended state, avoiding prolonged contact between the egg 1 and the support groove 6.

[0018] Example 1 of the support groove 6, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 One egg body 1 corresponds to one connecting groove 8. The lower end of the support groove 6 is hemispherical. The connecting groove 8 connects multiple support grooves 6 in series. The connecting groove 8 is in a connected state with the round hole 7.

[0019] In practical applications, this embodiment allows for the independent frying of individual egg bodies 1, preventing them from colliding with each other.

[0020] Example 2 of the support groove 6, see reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 Multiple egg-shaped bodies 1 correspond to one connecting groove 8. The lower end of the supporting groove 6 is semi-cylindrical, and the two ends of the supporting groove 6 are quarter-spheres.

[0021] In practical applications, this embodiment can fry multiple egg bodies 1 simultaneously, improving processing efficiency.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A flared plate 41 is installed at the upper end of the support groove 6, and an overflow port 42 is provided on the flared plate 41.

[0023] In practical applications, the flared plate 41 and overflow port 42 allow the oil 2 to overflow more smoothly.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The chain assembly 5 includes a rotating shaft 51 installed at both ends of the frying box 3. The rotating shaft 51 is equipped with an independent drive system. Sprockets 52 are installed at both ends of the rotating shaft 51. A chain 53 is installed on the sprocket 52. The support groove 6 is installed at both ends on the side wall of the chain 53.

[0025] In practical applications, the independent drive system drives the rotating shaft 51 and the sprocket 52 to rotate, and the sprocket 52 drives the chain 53 and the support groove 6 to make a circular rotation.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A bracket 61 is installed inside the frying box 3. A rectangular box 10 is installed on the bracket 61. An oil pump 62 is installed at the lower end of the rectangular box 10. The input end of the oil pump 62 is connected to the rectangular box 10. The oil outlet holes 11 are arranged in a straight line on the rectangular box 10.

[0027] In practical applications, the oil level 2 in the support trough 6 is higher than the oil level 2 in the frying box 3. The rectangular box 10 is installed in the middle of the chain assembly 5 through the bracket 61. When the oil pump 62 is working, it transports the oil 2 below the frying box 3 to the support trough 6. The rectangular box 10 is fixedly connected to the frying box 3 through the bracket 61.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 6 The opening and closing assembly includes a slide groove 71 on a rectangular box 10, a baffle 72 is provided in the slide groove 71, a pin 73 is installed at one end of the baffle 72, a roller 74 is installed at the upper end of the pin 73, and a compression spring 75 is installed between the baffle 72 and the slide groove 71; the sliding direction of the baffle 72 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the connecting pipe 9, and the cross-section of the connecting pipe 9 is circular; when the connecting pipe 9 moves continuously, the side wall of the connecting pipe 9 contacts the roller 74, pushing the baffle 72 away from the oil outlet 11; when the connecting pipe 9 leaves the oil outlet 11, the baffle 72 automatically resets due to the elastic force of the compression spring 75.

[0029] In practical applications, the rectangular box 10 is positioned below the upper support groove 6. In this application, the support groove 6 moves clockwise. When the support groove 6 drives the connecting pipe 9 to gradually contact the pin 73, the pin 73 can be pushed away from the oil outlet 11. By setting the roller 74, the friction between the pin 73 and the connecting pipe 9 can be reduced until the oil outlet 11 is opened. At this time, the oil 2 passes through the rectangular box 10, the oil outlet 11, the connecting pipe 9, the connecting groove 8, and the round hole 7 in sequence, and finally flows to the egg body 1 for frying. The oil 2 overflowing from the support groove 6 flows back into the frying box 3. When the support groove 6, the connecting pipe 9 and the pin 73 are separated, they will automatically reset under the action of the compression spring 75, blocking the oil outlet 11. At this time, oil does not need to be discharged from the oil outlet 11 at this position. Through the aforementioned mechanism, oil 2 can be delivered into the support tank 6 while the support tank 6 moves.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The connecting pipe 9 and the connecting groove 8 are in a threaded and detachable state, and the lower surface of the connecting pipe 9 is provided with a high-temperature resistant sealing ring 81.

[0031] In practical applications, the sealing performance between the connecting pipe 9 and the rectangular box 10 can be increased by setting the high-temperature resistant sealing ring 81.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The frying box 3 is equipped with a gas collection hood 91 on top, a heating system 92 inside the frying box 3, and an insulation layer 93 on the outside of the frying box 3.

[0033] In practical applications, the insulation layer 93 can prevent heat from dissipating rapidly, and the fume hood 91 can recycle and treat oil fumes to avoid polluting the working environment. Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of oil flow 2.
