Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of frying machine technology and relates to a lifting frying machine. Background Technology

[0002] The frying equipment commonly found in home and small commercial settings typically consists of a main unit equipped with an oil tank. During operation, users need to place the food in a dedicated frying basket and manually control the immersion process of the food in hot oil using a handle. Each operation is generally limited to the capacity of one or two frying baskets. Although this traditional method can meet the needs of small-scale operations, its processing speed and capacity are limited, making it inefficient for scenarios that require efficient and large-scale frying operations.

[0003] In conclusion, although some existing technical solutions have solved the problem of low frying efficiency, due to the different types of food that need to be fried, some foods will float on the surface of hot oil during the frying process, preventing them from being fully fried, so there is still considerable room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned problems existing in the prior art by proposing a lifting fryer, comprising:

[0005] The base is equipped with a frying tank.

[0006] A food conveying mechanism includes an upper conveying part and a lower conveying part, both of which are vertically and vertically connected to a base. The upper conveying part and the lower conveying part can move close to each other or stay away from each other. The food conveying mechanism is provided with a raised state and a closed state.

[0007] When the food conveying mechanism is in the raised state, the upper conveying part and the lower conveying part are far apart from each other and both the upper conveying part and the lower conveying part rise to the outside of the frying tank;

[0008] When the food conveying mechanism is in the closed state, the lower conveying part and the upper conveying part are close to each other and are both accommodated in the frying tank.

[0009] In the above-mentioned type of lifting fryer, a lifting mechanism is also included. The base is also provided with a lifting guide rail. The lifting mechanism includes a lifting motor and a first connecting member. The food conveying mechanism is vertically connected to the lifting guide rail. The lifting motor is connected to the lifting guide rail. One end of the first connecting member is connected to the output shaft of the lifting motor, and the other end of the first connecting member is connected to the food conveying mechanism.

[0010] In the aforementioned type of lifting fryer, a protective cover is also included. The first connecting member is connected to the food conveying mechanism through the protective cover. When the food conveying mechanism is in a closed state or a lifted state, the protective cover is located outside the frying tank.

[0011] In the above-mentioned lifting fryer, a second connecting assembly is also included. The second connecting assembly includes a second upper connecting member and a second lower connecting member. One end of the second upper connecting member is rotatably connected to one end of the second lower connecting member, the other end of the second upper connecting member is rotatably connected to the protective cover, and the other end of the second lower connecting member is rotatably connected to the upper conveyor.

[0012] In the aforementioned type of lifting fryer, a third connecting assembly is also included. The third connecting assembly includes a third upper connecting member and a third lower connecting member. One end of the third upper connecting member is rotatably connected to one end of the third lower connecting member, the other end of the third upper connecting member is rotatably connected to the protective cover, and the other end of the third lower connecting member is rotatably connected to the lower conveyor.

[0013] In the aforementioned type of lifting fryer, the lower conveyor section is provided with a lower conveyor belt and a lower conveyor drive element, the lower conveyor drive element being able to drive the lower conveyor belt to move.

[0014] In the aforementioned type of lifting fryer, a first gear and a first chain are also included. The first gear is connected to the output shaft of the lower conveyor drive element, the first gear meshes with the first chain, the lower conveyor belt meshes with the first chain, and the lower conveyor drive element can drive the lower conveyor belt to move through the first chain.

[0015] In the above-mentioned type of lifting fryer, the upper conveyor is further provided with an upper conveyor belt and an upper conveyor drive assembly. The upper conveyor drive assembly includes an upper conveyor drive element and a conveyor connection assembly. One end of the conveyor connection assembly is connected to the output shaft of the upper conveyor drive element, and the other end of the conveyor connection assembly is connected to the upper conveyor belt. The upper conveyor drive element can drive the upper conveyor belt to move through the conveyor connection assembly.

[0016] In the aforementioned lifting fryer, the conveying connection assembly includes an upper conveying connector and a lower conveying connector. One end of the upper conveying connector is rotatably connected to the output shaft of the upper conveying drive element, and the other end of the upper conveying connector is rotatably connected to one end of the lower conveying connector. One end of the lower conveying connector is rotatably connected to the upper conveyor belt. The assembly also includes a second gear, a second chain, a third chain, and a third gear set. The second gear is connected to the output shaft of the upper conveying drive element. The third gear set is disposed at the connection between the upper conveying connector and the lower conveying connector. Both ends of the second chain mesh with the second gear and the third gear set, respectively. One end of the third chain meshes with the third gear set, and the other end of the third chain is connected to the upper conveyor belt.

[0017] The aforementioned lifting fryer also includes a heating element, which is disposed below the frying tank.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] 1. When the food conveying mechanism is in the raised state, the food to be fried can be placed on the upper part of the conveyor. After placement, the food conveying mechanism will gradually sink until it is submerged in the hot oil in the frying tank. At this time, the upper part of the conveyor is also in the frying tank, pressing the food floating on the hot oil into the hot oil so that it can be fully fried.

[0020] 2. The lifting guide rail limits the overall lifting trajectory of the food conveying mechanism, thereby ensuring its vertical movement and stability. During the movement, the food inside will not fall out due to vibration or tilt. The design of the lifting motor and the first connecting part ensures that the food conveying cabinet can be quickly raised or lowered while occupying a small space.

[0021] 3. The lower conveyor belt can be driven by the lower conveyor drive element to transport the bottom part after frying out of the lifting fryer. This process not only ensures that the fried products can be removed from the frying environment in time after frying to avoid quality problems caused by over-frying, but also prepares space for subsequent frying batches.

[0022] 4. The upper conveyor drive element can drive the upper conveyor belt through the conveyor connection assembly, which can transport the suspended part after frying out of the lifting fryer. This process not only ensures that the fried product can be removed from the frying environment in time after frying to avoid quality problems caused by over-frying, but also prepares space for subsequent frying batches.

[0023] 5. The design of the second gear, second chain, third chain, and third gear set not only ensures that the upper transmission drive element is fixed to the protective cover and will not be affected by hot oil, but also drives the movement of the lower conveyor belt that moves up and down relative to the protective cover and is immersed in hot oil. This not only extends the service life of the upper drive element, but also reduces maintenance requirements. Attached Figure Description

[0038] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples of this utility model patent. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or adopt similar methods to replace them, but without departing from the patent of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, a lifting fryer includes: a base 1 and a food conveying mechanism 2.

[0040] The base 1 is provided with a frying tank 11.

[0041] The food conveying mechanism 2 includes an upper conveying part 21 and a lower conveying part 22. Both the upper conveying part 21 and the lower conveying part 22 are vertically connected to the base 1, and the upper conveying part 21 and the lower conveying part 22 can be close to each other or far apart. The food conveying mechanism 2 is provided with a raised state and a closed state.

[0042] Specifically, when the food conveying mechanism 2 is in the raised state, the upper conveying part 21 and the lower conveying part 22 are far apart from each other and both the upper conveying part 21 and the lower conveying part 22 rise to the outside of the frying tank 11;

[0043] When the food conveying mechanism 2 is in the closed state, the lower conveying part 22 and the upper conveying part 21 are close to each other and both the upper conveying part 21 and the lower conveying part 22 are accommodated in the frying tank 11.

[0044] In this embodiment, when the food conveying mechanism 2 is in the raised state, the food that needs to be fried can be placed above the lower conveying part 22. After placement, the food conveying mechanism 2 will gradually sink until it is submerged in the hot oil in the frying tank 11. At this time, the upper conveying part 21 is also in the frying tank 11, pressing the food floating above the hot oil into the hot oil so that it can be fully fried.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, based on the above embodiment, a lifting mechanism 3 is also included. The base 1 is also provided with a lifting guide rail 12. The lifting mechanism 3 includes a lifting motor 31 and a first connecting member 32. The food conveying mechanism 2 is vertically connected to the lifting guide rail 12. The lifting motor 31 is connected to the lifting guide rail 12. One end of the first connecting member 32 is connected to the output shaft of the lifting motor 31, and the other end of the first connecting member 32 is connected to the food conveying mechanism 2.

[0046] Specifically, the first connector 32 is configured as a flexible component that can be rolled up. When the food conveying mechanism 2 needs to be lifted, the output shaft of the lifting motor 31 on the lifting guide rail 12 rotates to roll up and fold the first connector 32 wrapped around its output shaft, thereby lifting the food conveying mechanism 2. Similarly, when the food conveying mechanism 2 needs to be lowered, the first connector 32 can be extended by simply rotating the output shaft of the lifting motor 31 in the opposite direction.

[0047] In this embodiment, the lifting guide rail 12 limits the overall lifting trajectory of the food conveying mechanism 2, thereby ensuring its vertical movement and stability. During the movement, the food inside will not fall out due to vibration or tilt. The design of the lifting motor 31 and the first connecting member 32 ensures that the food conveying cabinet can be quickly raised or lowered while occupying a small space.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, based on the above embodiment, a protective cover 4 is also included. The first connecting member 32 is connected to the food conveying mechanism 2 through the protective cover 4. When the food conveying mechanism 2 is in the closed state and the raised state, the protective cover 4 is outside the frying tank 11.

[0049] In this embodiment, the first connector 32 is connected to the food conveying mechanism 2 through the protective cover 4, so the protective cover 4 is always above the food conveying mechanism 2. When the food conveying mechanism 2 is in the closed state, the protective cover 4 is always located outside the frying tank 11 and can always cover the top of the frying tank 11 to prevent foreign objects from falling into the hot oil or hot oil from splashing out during the frying process.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, based on the above embodiment, a second connecting component 5 is also included. The second connecting component 5 includes a second upper connecting member 51 and a second lower connecting member 52. One end of the second upper connecting member 51 is rotatably connected to one end of the second lower connecting member 52. The other end of the second upper connecting member 51 is rotatably connected to the protective cover 4. The other end of the second lower connecting member 52 is rotatably connected to the upper conveying part 21.

[0051] Specifically, when the second lower connector 52 rotates relative to the second upper connector 51, the part of the second lower connector 52 that is close to the second upper connector 51 will contact the second upper connector 51 to limit the second lower connector 52, thereby controlling the rotation range of the second lower connector 52.

[0052] In this embodiment, the second upper connector 51 limits the second lower connector 52, so that during the folding process, the upper conveyor 21 will only move towards one side of the protective cover 4 in the horizontal direction, except for moving closer to the protective cover 4 in the vertical direction, and will not have an uncontrollable deviation direction.

[0053] like Figure 1As shown, based on the above embodiment, a third connecting component 6 is also included. The third connecting component 6 includes a third upper connecting member 61 and a third lower connecting member 62. One end of the third upper connecting member 61 is rotatably connected to one end of the third lower connecting member 62. The other end of the third upper connecting member 61 is rotatably connected to the protective cover 4. The other end of the third lower connecting member 62 is rotatably connected to the lower conveying part 22.

[0054] Specifically, when the third lower connector 62 rotates relative to the third upper connector 61, the part of the third lower connector 62 that is close to the third upper connector 61 will contact the third upper connector 61 to limit the third lower connector 62, thereby controlling the rotation amplitude of the third lower connector 62.

[0055] In this embodiment, the third upper connector 61 limits the third lower connector 62, so that during the folding process, the lower conveyor 22 will only move towards one side of the protective cover 4 in the horizontal direction, except for moving closer to the protective cover 4 in the vertical direction, and will not have an uncontrollable deviation direction.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the lower conveyor 22 is provided with a lower conveyor belt 221 and a lower conveyor drive element 222, and the lower conveyor drive element 222 can drive the lower conveyor belt 221 to move.

[0057] In this embodiment, the lower conveyor belt 221 can be driven to move by the lower conveyor drive element 222, and the part that sinks to the bottom after frying can be transported out of the lifting fryer by the lower conveyor belt 221. This process not only ensures that the product after frying can be removed from the frying environment in time to avoid quality problems caused by over-frying, but also prepares space for subsequent frying batches.

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, based on the above embodiment, it also includes a first gear (not shown in the figure) and a first chain (not shown in the figure). The first gear is connected to the output shaft of the lower transmission drive element 222. The first gear meshes with the first chain. The lower conveyor belt 221 meshes with the first chain. The lower transmission drive element 222 can drive the lower conveyor belt 221 to move through the first chain.

[0059] In this embodiment, since the first gear and the first chain maintain a constant meshing state, each tooth of the gear can accurately push the chain link on the chain, thereby ensuring the continuity and reliability of force transmission. Through the meshing of the first gear and the first chain, the lower transmission drive element 222 can control the lower conveyor belt 221 more precisely and respond more quickly.

[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the upper conveyor is further provided with an upper conveyor belt 211 and an upper conveyor drive assembly 212. The upper conveyor drive assembly 212 includes an upper conveyor drive element 2121 and a conveyor connection assembly 2122. One end of the conveyor connection assembly 2122 is connected to the output shaft of the upper conveyor drive element 2121, and the other end of the conveyor connection assembly 2122 is connected to the upper conveyor belt 211. The upper conveyor drive element 2121 can drive the upper conveyor belt 211 to move through the conveyor connection assembly 2122.

[0061] In this embodiment, the upper conveyor drive element 2121 can drive the upper conveyor belt 211 to move through the conveyor connection assembly 2122. The part that is suspended after frying can be transported out of the lifting fryer by the upper conveyor belt 211. This process not only ensures that the product after frying can be removed from the frying environment in time to avoid quality problems caused by over-frying, but also prepares space for subsequent frying batches.

[0062] like Figure 1 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the conveying connection assembly 2122 includes an upper conveying connector 21221 and a lower conveying connector 21222. One end of the upper conveying connector 21221 is rotatably connected to the output shaft of the upper conveying drive element 2121, and the other end of the upper conveying connector 21221 is rotatably connected to one end of the lower conveying connector 21222. One end of the lower conveying connector 21222 is rotatably connected to the upper conveyor belt 211. It also includes a second gear 21223, a second chain 21224, and a third chain 21. 225 and the third gear set 21226, the second gear 21223 is connected to the output shaft of the upper conveyor drive element 2121, the third gear set 21226 is disposed at the connection of the upper conveyor connector 21221 and the lower conveyor connector 21222, both ends of the second chain 21224 are respectively meshed with the second gear 21223 and the third gear set 21226, one end of the third chain 21225 is meshed with the third gear set 21226, and the other end of the third chain 21225 is connected to the upper conveyor belt 211.

[0063] Specifically, the third gear set 21226 is provided with two gears. The upper transmission drive element 2121 can transmit motion through the second chain 21224 to one of the gears in the third gear set 21226 via the meshing of the second gear 21223 on the output shaft. The other gear in the third gear set 21226 then transmits motion to the upper conveyor belt 211 via the third chain 21225, thereby driving the upper conveyor belt 211 to move.

[0064] In this embodiment, the design of the second gear 21223, the second chain 21224, the third chain 21225, and the third gear set 21226 not only ensures that the upper transmission drive element 2121 is fixed to the protective cover 4 and will not be affected by hot oil, but also drives the movement of the lower conveyor belt 221, which moves up and down relative to the protective cover 4 and is immersed in hot oil. This not only extends the service life of the upper drive element, but also reduces maintenance requirements.

[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, based on the above embodiment, a heating element (not shown in the figure) is also included, which is disposed below the frying tank 11.

[0066] In this embodiment, by laying the heating element flatly below the frying tank 11, the oil in the frying tank 11 can be heated sufficiently and evenly.
