[0002] French fries are potato chips, formed into strips and deep-fried. They are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and can be paired with a variety of sauces. The diverse flavors and convenience make them popular around the world. Traditionally, potatoes are washed and peeled, then cut into long strips. These strips are then deep-fried in hot oil until golden brown. To achieve a crispy coating, the fries are typically coated in seasoned flour before frying. Each fries is lightly coated with the flour before being deep-fried.
[0003] However, French fries are currently coated with flour manually, which is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also unhygienic. In addition, the French fries may be coated with flour of varying thickness or too thick, affecting the taste and appearance of the finished product.
[0004] To this end, the Chinese patent with authorization announcement number CN218518710U provides a French fry coating device. This technical solution is achieved by installing a cutter on a working platform. The cutter has multiple blades, so that the French fries fall through the mesh holes between the blades. The coating chamber is located below the working platform. The air compressor sends compressed air into the powder mixing tank for mixing, so that the coating material can be supplied to the air nozzle through the air supply pipe along with the compressed air, and then sprayed to the coating area through the air nozzle, and adhere to the surface of the French fries to complete the coating, thereby improving the processing efficiency of French fries, saving labor costs, and improving the safety of food processing.
[0005] In response to the existing problems, existing solutions have been given, which can effectively solve the existing problems. However, when the potato pieces are pressed down by the pressing block, the starch on the surface of the potato pieces makes the potato pieces relatively smooth, so that some of the potato pieces may slide at the contact point with the pressing block and fail to enter the cutting knife normally, causing the potato pieces that do not enter the cutting knife to be ejected to the left and right sides of the pressing block and fall to the ground, causing waste of raw materials and affecting the efficiency of French fry processing.
[0006] For this reason, a French fry coating device is proposed. Utility Model Content

The upper and lower ends of the spring 24 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rectangular rod 25 and the bottom end of the inner wall of the groove 23 respectively. When coating the French fries with flour, the potato pieces are placed above the cutting knife 7, and the hydraulic rod 5 is extended to control the pressing block 6 to press the potato pieces toward the cutting knife 7, so that the potato pieces are cut into French fries by the cutting knife 7. During the pressing process of the pressing block 6, the position of the potato pieces above the cutting knife 7 is restricted by the rectangular frame 22. At the same time, the rectangular frame 22 will slide down on the inner wall of the rectangular groove 21 and compress the springs 24 under the rectangular rods 25 at both ends of the rectangular frame 22. After the pressing block 6 completes the cutting of the potato pieces, the spring 24 returns to its original shape and pushes the rectangular rod 25 to make the rectangular frame 22 rise and return to its original position. By setting the positioning device 2, the rectangular frame 22 is located above and outside the cutting knife 7, so as to limit the position of the potato pieces above the cutting knife 7 during the cutting process, thereby avoiding as much as possible the potato pieces from shifting and flying out of the machine body 1 during the cutting process, causing waste of raw materials and affecting the processing efficiency of French fries.
[0034] Reference Figure 2-5 As shown, in this embodiment: the diameter of the round rod 26 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the spring 24, and the spring 24 is located on the outside of the round rod 26. When the rectangular frame 22 moves up and down to deform the spring 24, the spring 24 will move on the outside of the round rod 26. The round rod 26 can reinforce the internal shape of the spring 24, and avoid the spring 24 from twisting and affecting normal use as much as possible. Positioning blocks 27 are fixedly connected on both sides of the rectangular rod 25, and one side of the positioning block 27 slides on the inner wall of the groove 23. When the rectangular frame 22 moves up and down, the positioning blocks 27 on both sides of the rectangular rod 25 will slide on the inner wall of the groove 23, further limiting the angle between the rectangular rod 25 and the groove 23 and the round rod 26, and avoiding the angle of the rectangular frame 22 from deflecting when it moves as much as possible.
[0035] Reference Figure 2-5As shown, in this embodiment: two oblique rods 28 are fixedly connected to the two ends of the rectangular frame 22, and the end of the oblique rod 28 away from the rectangular frame 22 is fixedly connected to one side of the rectangular rod 25. By providing the oblique rod 28, the connection between the rectangular rod 25 and the rectangular frame 22 can be reinforced, and the structural stability of the connection between the rectangular rod 25 and the rectangular frame 22 is improved. A baffle 29 is fixedly connected to the top end of the inner wall of the rectangular frame 22, and the bottom end thickness of the baffle 29 is less than the top end thickness. By providing the baffle 29, the French fries located inside the rectangular frame 22 can be blocked, and the potato pieces can be prevented from entering between the pressing block 6 and the rectangular frame 22 as much as possible during the downward pressing of the pressing block 6.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment: a protective device 3 is provided at one end of the body 1, and the protective device 3 includes a rectangular plate 33, and a plurality of dustproof belts 34 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rectangular plate 33. Two insertion rods 32 are fixedly connected to one side of the rectangular plate 33, and two slots 31 are provided at one end of the body 1. When using the powder coating equipment, the two insertion rods 32 on one side of the rectangular plate 33 can be inserted into the two slots 31 at one end of the body 1, and the rectangular plate 33 can be fixed to one side of the body 1. One end of the body 1 is blocked by the dustproof belt 34 to prevent dust and debris from entering the body 1 during processing as much as possible, and to prevent dust inside the body 1 from flying out of the body 1 to cause pollution to the working environment.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment: the outer surface of the insertion rod 32 is fixedly connected with a plurality of ridges 35, and the ridges 35 are made of rubber material. The ridges 35 are linearly distributed on the outer surface of the insertion rod 32. When the insertion rod 32 is inserted into the interior of the slot 31, the ridges 35 made of rubber material can increase the friction between the insertion rod 32 and the inner wall of the slot 31, so that the insertion rod 32 is not easily accidentally fallen off from the interior of the slot 31. A pull rod 36 is fixedly connected to one side of the rectangular plate 33. The cross-sectional shape of the pull rod 36 is U-shaped. By holding the outer surface of the U-shaped pull rod 36, the pull rod 36 can be pulled more conveniently to control the rectangular plate 33 to pull the insertion rod 32 out of the interior of the slot 31. Removing the rectangular plate 33 and the dust belt 34 facilitates cleaning the interior of the body 1.
[0038] Working principle: When using the French fry coating equipment to coat French fries with flour, first insert the two insertion rods 32 on one side of the rectangular plate 33 into the two slots 31 at one end of the body 1, fix the rectangular plate 33 on one side of the body 1, and block one end of the body 1 with the dustproof belt 34 to prevent dust and debris from entering the body 1 during processing as much as possible. Then place the potato pieces above the cutting knife 7, operate the hydraulic rod 5 to extend and control the pressing block 6 to press the potato pieces toward the cutting knife 7, and the cutting knife 7 cuts the potato pieces into French fries. During the downward pressing of the pressing block 6, the position of the potato pieces above the cutting knife 7 is restricted by the rectangular frame 22, and the rectangular frame 22 is used to prevent the potato pieces from entering the body 1. The rectangular frame 22 will slide down the inner wall of the rectangular groove 21 and compress the springs 24 under the rectangular rods 25 at both ends of the rectangular frame 22. During the French fries cutting process, the air compressor 8 on one side of the body 1 is operated at the same time. The compressed air enters the interior of the barrel 4 through the air compressor 8, so that the powder inside the barrel 4 is sprayed out through the nozzle 9 and sprayed on the surface of the French fries for coating. Then the French fries will fall to the surface of the conveyor belt below and be transported to one end of the body 1 for output. The dustproof belt 34 can avoid as much as possible the dust inside the body 1 from flying out of the body 1 and causing pollution to the working environment. After the potato pieces are cut, the spring 24 returns to its original shape and pushes the rectangular rod 25 to make the rectangular frame 22 rise and return to its original position.
