Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a frying machine, in particular to an oil curtain type frying machine. Background Art

[0002] A fryer is a processing equipment that achieves rapid shaping, puffing, cooking and dehydration of food through high-temperature frying. Currently, continuous fryers are usually used on the market. Continuous fryers are widely used due to their advantages such as efficient production and uniform frying.

[0003] However, this frying method still has some shortcomings. Although the oil curtain frying method can effectively control the oil temperature of the fried food to avoid the occurrence of burnt conditions, some types of fried food, such as potato chips, will be damaged due to excessive impact force under the impact of the waterfall-type high-temperature oil. The conveyor belt can only achieve solid-liquid separation, so there are still fragments of fried food falling from the conveyor belt. Although the fryer is additionally provided with a first filter between the conveyor belt and the recovery tank, the first filter can only filter out larger fried food, and the remaining smaller fried food will fall into the recovery tank together with the oil, which still results in the oil in the recovery tank cannot be directly recycled and used, but requires a lot of time and cost to process. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the problems in the related art, the present application provides an oil curtain fryer, which solves the problems of difficulty in processing recycled oil and high maintenance cost.

[0005] The technical solution is as follows:

[0006] An oil curtain fryer comprises a supporting mechanism, a conveying mechanism and an oil tank arranged above the conveying mechanism are arranged on the supporting mechanism, an oil spraying mechanism is connected to the bottom end of the oil tank, the conveying mechanism comprises a conveyor belt and a driving assembly connected in linkage, the conveyor belt is arranged along the length direction of the supporting mechanism, and through holes are evenly distributed on the conveyor belt, a recovery groove is arranged on the supporting mechanism corresponding to the lower part of the conveyor belt, and the recovery groove is arranged along the length direction of the conveying mechanism, and its characteristic is that a filter mechanism arranged in a detachable shape is arranged in the recovery groove, and the filter mechanism is arranged along the length direction of the recovery groove, the filter mechanism comprises a fixing mechanism and a first filter screen arranged at the bottom end of the fixing mechanism, and the first filter screen is a 100-mesh first filter screen, and an oil outlet is arranged on the corresponding recovery groove below the first filter screen, and the oil outlet is connected to the oil tank through a pipeline.

[0007] Through the above technical solution, through the setting of the first filter net, the 100-mesh first filter net can effectively isolate small-sized impurities from entering the recovery tank, thereby improving the purity of the recovered oil in the recovery tank, so that it does not need additional treatment and can be directly transported to the oil tank through a pipeline for use, thereby reducing maintenance costs.

[0008] Preferably, the support mechanism includes a support frame and support side plates symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top of the support frame, the length direction of each of the support side plates is consistent with the length direction of the conveyor belt, and a plurality of connecting rods are arranged between the two support side plates along the length direction of the support side plates. The recovery trough is arranged at the top of the connecting rod between the two support side plates, and the recovery trough and the corresponding support side plate are fixedly connected.

[0011] Preferably, each of the fixing mechanisms is symmetrically provided with a plurality of support plates, each of the support plates is a stainless steel support plate, each of the support plates is arranged in an "L" shape, and the horizontal section in each support plate is fixedly arranged on the side wall surface of the second vertical section, so that there is a gap between the vertical section in each support plate and the corresponding second vertical section, and the opening direction of the gap is arranged downward.

[0012] Through the above technical solution, by setting up the "L"-shaped support plate, when the first filter screen needs to be cleaned because a lot of impurities are accumulated on it and affect the oil recovery efficiency, the operator can put his hand in the gap between the vertical section and the second vertical section of the support plate. The stainless steel support plate can effectively isolate the heat, making it easy to remove the filter mechanism from the recovery tank and reinstall it after cleaning.
