Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing, in particular to a frying device. Background Art

[0002] Traditional deep-frying typically relies on a deep-frying pan, which heats the cooking oil to a predetermined temperature using a built-in heating device. Once the oil reaches the desired temperature, the prepared ingredients are placed in the pan and deep-fried until they reach the desired doneness and texture. While this process effectively allows for cold-fried rabbit, it has significant drawbacks, particularly regarding fume management.

[0003] The design of existing oil frying equipment often overlooks the effective control and treatment of oil fumes. During the frying process, the high temperature causes a violent reaction between the ingredients and the cooking oil, producing large amounts of oil fumes. This fumes not only contain substances harmful to human health, such as particulate matter and volatile organic compounds, but also, without effective collection and treatment mechanisms, are directly emitted into the air of the production plant. Long-term exposure to such an environment poses a serious threat to workers' health and may lead to respiratory diseases, skin problems, and other health issues.

[0004] Furthermore, cooking fumes liquefy when cooled, forming a sticky, greasy residue that adheres to factory walls, ceilings, floors, and equipment. This residue is not only difficult to clean, affecting the hygiene of the production environment, but can also pose a fire hazard. Especially in the food processing industry, where sanitary conditions are directly linked to product quality and consumer health and safety, the cooking fume problem must be effectively addressed.

[0041] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present application, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0042] In this document, relational terms such as first and second, etc., are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "comprises," "includes," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0043] As mentioned in the background, existing oil frying equipment often neglects effective fume control and treatment in its design. During the frying process, the high temperatures of the food and cooking oil cause a violent reaction, producing large amounts of fume. This fume not only contains substances harmful to human health, such as particulate matter and volatile organic compounds, but also, without effective collection and treatment mechanisms, can be directly released into the air of the production plant.

[0044] Example 1:

[0045] Therefore, in order to solve the above technical problems existing in the prior art, this embodiment provides a frying device, such as Figure 1 As shown, the frying equipment includes a frying pan 200 and a smoking device 100, and the smoking device is arranged on one side of the frying pan;

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, the smoking device includes:

[0047] The air inlet duct assembly 140, such as Figure 4 As shown, the air inlet duct assembly includes an air inlet duct 141, which has multiple sections. An oil net 142 is provided between adjacent sections of the air inlet duct, and the air inlet duct of the head section is provided on the side above the fryer;

[0048] The fan 120 is connected to the air inlet duct of the tail section and communicates with the outside through the exhaust duct.

[0049] During the frying process, the range hood on one side of the oil pan starts, and the fan drives the air flow, so that the oil smoke generated during the frying process flows into the air inlet duct along with the air, and is filtered by the oil net and discharged to the outside.

[0050] This embodiment avoids direct discharge of oil smoke, thereby preventing the oil smoke from liquefying and forming viscous oil stains that are difficult to clean after being cooled.

[0051] In this embodiment, if Figure 8 、 9 As shown, the fryer may include:

[0052] An oil tank 210 is provided with a hot oil chamber for containing a limited amount of edible oil, and a heater is provided in the hot oil chamber;

[0053] An oil pan 220 having mesh holes for the inlet and outlet of cooking oil, one side of the oil pan being pivotally connected to the other side of the oil tank;

[0054] A third power device 240, which is fixedly mounted on one side of the oil tank and drives the oil pan to pivot;

[0055] The stirring assembly 230 is arranged on the oil pan and moves along with the oil pan.

[0056] The stirring assembly includes a second power device 232 and a stirrer 231. The stirrer is entirely arranged in the oil pan and is driven to rotate by the second power device.

[0057] In this embodiment, a mounting frame fixed to the oil pan can be erected above the oil pan, and the second power device and the stirrer can be installed on the mounting frame.

[0058] In this embodiment, the second and third power devices can be selected from servo motors, stepper motors and other devices that can drive parts to rotate.

[0059] In this embodiment, a certain amount of edible oil is poured into the hot oil chamber, and the heating device heats the edible oil. After the edible oil is heated to a preset temperature, raw materials are added to the oil pan for frying. During the frying process, the second power device drives the stirrer to rotate to turn the raw materials in the oil pan. After frying to a preset degree, the third power device drives the oil pan to flip over and pour out the raw materials.

[0060] In addition, in this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the smoking device may further include a shell 110, in which the above-mentioned fan and air inlet pipe assembly are arranged. An air inlet 111 is provided at a position of the shell corresponding to the head section air inlet duct, and the air inlet is connected to the head section air inlet duct.

[0061] Example 2:

[0062] In order to realize automatic cleaning of the oil screen, this embodiment proposes improvements based on embodiment 1, such as Figure 3 、 4 As shown, the oil net is rotatably connected to the air inlet duct, and the smoking device further includes a first power device 130, which drives the oil net to rotate;

[0063] The frying equipment also includes a cleaning device, such as Figure 5 As shown, the cleaning device has the oil net clamped inside, and the cleaning device includes two sets of cleaning components 300 arranged opposite to each other, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 、7 As shown, the cleaning component includes:

[0064] A box body 310 extends obliquely downward from the center of the oil screen along the radial direction of the oil screen to the outside of the air inlet duct. The box body has a liquid inlet channel 314. A liquid inlet port 311 is provided at one end of the box body located outside the air inlet duct, corresponding to the position of the liquid inlet channel. The liquid inlet port 311 is connected to a storage device storing a decontamination or degreasing cleaning agent through the liquid inlet channel.

[0065] There are multiple nozzles 320, which are arranged equidistantly along the extension direction of the box body. The nozzles are arranged corresponding to the liquid inlet channel and are connected to the liquid inlet channel.

[0066] In this embodiment, a decontaminant is first sprayed onto the surface of a preset area of ​​the oil net through a nozzle. After the decontaminant foam adheres to the surface of the preset area of ​​the oil net for a preset time, the nozzle sprays a cleaning liquid onto the surface of the oil net to clean the surface of the preset area of ​​the oil net. Then, the first power device drives the oil net to rotate a preset angle so that the new preset area of ​​the oil net to be cleaned is rotated to the position corresponding to the nozzle. The above cleaning process is repeated. After one rotation, the oil stains on the surface of the oil net can be cleaned, thereby realizing automatic cleaning of the oil net.

[0067] In this embodiment, the liquid inlet pipe can be connected to the decontaminant storage device and the cleaning liquid storage device respectively through a three-way valve, and the decontaminant and cleaning liquid are pressurized by the pressure pump provided by the storage device and then sprayed onto the oil network surface.

[0068] In addition, in this embodiment, Figure 6 、 7 As shown, the cleaning component also includes a drainage trough 350, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the box body. The drainage trough 350 is arranged parallel to the box body. The side of the drainage trough away from the box body is provided with a roller 351 in contact with the surface of the oil net. One end of the drainage trough passes through the air inlet duct and extends to the outside of the air inlet duct. The drainage trough is provided at one end outside the air inlet duct with a drainage port, which is connected to the waste liquid collection equipment through a drainage hose.

[0069] During the cleaning process, the decontamination agent or cleaning liquid sprayed onto the surface of the oil net drips downward or flows downward along the oil net, and the drainage trough can collect these dripping or flowing liquids and guide the liquids. The liquid flows along the drainage trough to the drain port and is discharged through the drainage pipe. During the rotation of the oil net, the oil net will roll with the rollers of the drainage trough, so as to prevent the bottom of the drainage trough from scraping off the oil stains on the surface of the oil net when the oil net rotates and passes through the bottom of the drainage trough, causing a large amount of oil stains to adhere to the bottom of the oil guide trough. At the same time, it can also reduce the leakage of cleaning liquid or decontamination agent from the bottom of the drainage trough when dripping or flowing downward.

[0070] The decontaminant or cleaning liquid attached to the oil net and flowing downward along the oil net, as well as the decontaminant or cleaning liquid splashed onto the surface of the oil net by the nozzle, are collected through the drainage trough below the nozzle, and the decontaminant and cleaning liquid are diverted to the outside of the air supply duct and discharged through the drain port, thereby preventing the decontaminant or cleaning liquid from flowing directly into the air inlet duct and being difficult to discharge.

[0071] In addition, Figure 6 As shown, the cleaning component also includes:

[0072] A side baffle 360 ​​is provided at one end of the box body located in the air inlet duct and connected to one side of the drain trough;

[0073] A top baffle 370 is provided on the top of the box body in parallel with the drain groove, one end of the top baffle is connected to the side baffle, and the top baffle is connected to the pipe wall of the air inlet duct.

[0074] The side baffles and the top baffles are used to block the splashing detergent or cleaning liquid, so as to reduce the probability of the detergent or cleaning liquid splashing into the air inlet duct, thereby extending the service life.

[0075] In this embodiment, the side baffle can be in contact with the oil net or set in a gap with the oil net; the top baffle can be set in a gap with the oil net or can be in contact with the oil net by installing rollers like a drainage trough.

[0076] In this embodiment, a protective portion that can block liquid splashing is formed by the side baffles, the top baffles, the drainage trough and the wall of the air inlet duct. The protective portion can block the splashing liquid and reduce the occurrence of liquid accumulation in the air inlet duct, thereby extending the service life of the range hood.

[0077] In this embodiment, the cleaning assembly further includes a brush 330, which is fixedly mounted on the side of the box body corresponding to the top of the nozzle.

[0078] The dirt that has not been washed away is brushed off with a brush to improve the cleaning effect of the oil screen.

[0079] In this embodiment, the box body also has an air inlet channel 313, and an air inlet port 312 is provided at one end of the box body located outside the air inlet duct, which is connected to the high-pressure air source through the air inlet duct, and an air outlet nozzle 340 is provided at a position corresponding to the air inlet channel on the side of the box body where the nozzle is provided.

[0080] High-pressure gas is sprayed out through the air outlet nozzle to blow away the liquid attached to the oil net, thereby keeping the oil net dry and preventing cleaning fluid or decontamination agent from adhering to the surface of the oil net for a long time.

[0081] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 、 4As shown, the oil net has an annular rack 143 arranged around the oil net, and the first power device is connected to the annular rack through a gear transmission mechanism.

[0082] The above description of the disclosed embodiments will enable one skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
