[0032] An oil drain valve 16 is arranged at the bottom of the deep fryer frame 11. The controlled end of the oil drain valve 16 is connected to the output end of the control assembly.

[0033] The feeding assembly 2 includes a feeding rack 21, as Figure 5 shown. A plurality of rotating shafts 22 are installed on the feeding rack 21. A plurality of feeding spoons 23 arranged at uniform intervals are arranged on the rotating shafts 22. The tofu balls to be fried are placed on the feeding spoons 23. The rotating shafts 22 are respectively connected to the flipping mechanism.

[0034] The flipping mechanism includes a first connecting rod 24 hinged to the end of the rotating shaft 22 respectively. As Figure 8 shown, the other end of the first connecting rod 24 is hinged to the connecting plate 25. It further includes a second connecting rod 26 arranged on one of the rotating shafts 22. The second connecting rod 26 is vertically and slidably connected to the flipping ejector rod 5 installed on the pre-frying assembly 3.

[0035] When the flipping ejector rod 5 jacks up the second connecting rod 26 upwards, the second connecting rod 26 drives the rotating shaft 22 equipped with the second connecting rod 26 to flip, and drives the other rotating shafts 22 to flip through the cooperation of the first connecting rod 24 and the connecting plate 25, so as to put the to-be-fried tofu balls in the feeding spoon 23 into the pre-frying assembly 3 for separated frying, which is convenient for shaping.

[0036] The bottom end of the feeding rack 21 is provided with a slide rail 27 slidably fitted with the pre-frying assembly 3. As shown, it can adjust the position of the feeding spoon 23 to ensure that the tofu balls can accurately fall onto the pre-frying workstations inside the pre-frying assembly 3 during feeding.

[0037] On both sides of the upper part of the feeding rack 21, handles 28 are respectively arranged, which is convenient for the installation and disassembly of the feeding assembly 2.

[0038] The pre-frying assembly 3 includes a pre-frying frame 32 and a lifting mechanism 31. As Figure 7 shown, the lifting mechanism 31 is installed on the right side of the frying pan frame 11. The pre-frying frame 32 is connected to the lifting mechanism, and the lifting mechanism 31 can drive the pre-frying frame 32 to lift inside the frying pan 12.

[0039] The pre-frying frame 32 includes a pre-frying frame border 321. As Figure 9 shown, a number of pre-frying cylinders 322 are arranged in rows inside the pre-frying frame border 321. The pre-frying cylinders 322 are arranged corresponding to the feeding spoon 23, which can ensure that the tofu balls in the feeding spoon 23 accurately fall into the inside of the pre-frying cylinders 322, separating the tofu balls, which is convenient for pre-frying and shaping.

[0040] An anti-sticking bushing 327 is arranged inside the pre-frying cylinder 321, which can prevent the tofu balls from sticking to the inner wall of the pre-frying cylinder during pre-frying.

[0041] On the front and rear sides of the top of the pre-frying frame border 321, positioning guide rails 325 slidably connected to the slide rail 27 are arranged, which can make the feeding spoon 23 correspond to the pre-frying cylinders 322 one by one.

[0042] A limit card slot 326 for limiting the feeding rack 21 is arranged at the left end of the pre-frying frame border 321.

[0043] The flipping ejector rod 5 is slidably arranged on the pre-frying frame border 321 so as to jack up the second connecting rod 26 upwards and drive the flipping mechanism to act.

[0044] The lifting mechanism 31 includes a bracket 311 installed on the fryer frame 11. On both sides of the top of the bracket 311, lifting cylinders 312 are respectively installed through upper mounting plates 313. The bottom ends of the lifting cylinders 312 are installed on lower mounting plates 323 on both sides of the pre-frying frame 321. The controlled ends of the lifting cylinders 312 are connected to the output end of the control component.

[0045] A guide sleeve 324 for positioning and guiding connection of the lifting cylinder 312 is provided on the lower mounting plate 323.

[0046] A synchronous shaft 314 is provided at the top of the bracket 311. Sealing bushings 318 are respectively provided on both sides of the synchronous shaft 314 to protect the synchronous shaft 314.

[0047] Both ends of the synchronous shaft 314 are respectively hinged to a third connecting rod 315. The other end of the third connecting rod 315 is hinged to a fourth connecting rod 316. The other end of the fourth connecting rod 316 is hinged to the lower mounting plate 323.

[0048] Eye joints 317 are respectively provided at both ends of the fourth connecting rod 316. After a pin shaft passes through the eye joints 317, it is locked by a locking nut to realize the hinged connection between the fourth connecting rod 316, the third connecting rod 315 and the lower mounting plate 323.

[0049] The pre-frying frame 31 is driven to lift inside the fryer 12 by the lifting cylinder 312. At the same time, the synchronous movement of the two lifting cylinders 312 is realized through the cooperation of the synchronous shaft 314, the third connecting rod 315 and the fourth connecting rod 316.

[0050] The pushing component 4 includes a push plate 41. As Figure 10 Figure 11 shown, the push plate 41 is vertically attached to the right side wall of the fryer 12. Both ends of the push plate 41 are respectively connected to slide table cylinders 43 arranged on the front and back sides of the fryer frame 11.

[0051] Both ends of the slide table cylinder 43 are respectively installed on the fryer frame 11 through fixing plates 42. The controlled end of the slide table cylinder 43 is connected to the output end of the control component.

[0052] The control component adopts a PLC controller. The PLC controller is connected to the electric heating tube 14, the lifting cylinder 312 and the slide table cylinder 43 by a conventional circuit connection method to realize the control of the heating of the electric heating tube 14, the lifting of the lifting cylinder 312 and the sliding of the slide table cylinder 43.

[0053] During use, first, the feeding component 2 is installed on the pre-frying component 3, and the position of the feeding rack 21 is adjusted so that the feeding spoon 23 is correspondingly arranged with the pre-frying cylinder 322. Semi-finished tofu balls are respectively placed in the feeding spoons 23.

[0054] Next, control the lifting cylinder 312 to drive the pre-frying frame 32 and the feeding assembly 2 to move downward and feed them into the fryer 12. When the pre-frying frame 32 moves downward and touches the hollow bottom plate 14 at the bottom of the fryer 12, the flipping ejector rod 5 installed on the pre-frying frame 32 moves upward and jacks up the second connecting rod 26. Control the rotation of the rotating shaft 22 where the second connecting rod 26 is located, and drive the other rotating shafts 22 to rotate through the cooperation of the first connecting rod 24 and the connecting plate 25, so as to send the tofu balls in the feeding spoon 23 into the pre-frying cylinder 322 for pre-frying and shaping. The pre-frying cylinder 322 separates each tofu ball in a separate space to prevent adhesion.

[0055] After the tofu balls are fried and shaped, control the lifting cylinders 312 on both sides to drive the pre-frying frame 32 to move upward and rise to the waiting working state. At this time, the shaped tofu balls remain in the fryer 12 for continuous frying. To ensure that the next batch of tofu balls can continue to be pre-fried and shaped, it is also necessary to push the shaped tofu balls from the right side of the fryer to the left side through the pushing assembly.

[0056] Specifically, control the slide table cylinder 43 to drive the push plate 41 to move to the left. After sending the shaped tofu balls into the right side of the fryer through the push plate 41, then control the slide table cylinder 43 to drive the push plate 41 to move to the right and reset, so as to perform the next pushing operation.

[0057] In addition, to ensure that the effect of each pre-frying and shaping is consistent, a time relay is installed on the lifting mechanism 31, and the output end of the time relay is connected to the input end of the PLC controller.

[0058] The pre-frying time is set in the time relay. When the feeding assembly completes feeding, the time relay starts timing. When the pre-frying time reaches the time set in the time relay, the time relay sends a signal to the PLC controller, and then controls the lifting cylinder to rise through the PLC controller. The pre-fried tofu balls are sent to the other side of the fryer for frying through the pushing assembly 4, which is convenient for the next pre-frying. During cyclic operation, the pre-frying time is the same each time, ensuring the consistency of the pre-frying effect.

[0059] The utility model provides a fried tofu ball device. By setting a pre-frying assembly to pre-fry, separate and shape the semi-finished tofu balls, it avoids the adhesion of tofu balls during the frying process; by setting a feeding assembly, batch feeding is realized, and compared with single feeding, the feeding efficiency is greatly improved; by setting a pushing assembly to remove the shaped tofu balls, batch shaping and frying of tofu balls are realized, ensuring a stable frying effect. Through the automatic control of pre-frying, feeding, and pushing by the control assembly, the manual work intensity is reduced and the production efficiency is improved.
