Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of deep fryer technology, and specifically relates to a lifting structure for a deep fryer basket. Background Technology

[0002] The frying baskets in existing deep fryers are manually placed. The frying basket is a separate accessory used to hold the food to be fried. After the oil temperature is set on the machine, a person needs to wait for the oil temperature to rise slowly. Once the oil temperature reaches the set temperature, the person manually places the frying basket containing the food into the deep fryer. During the frying process, the person needs to wait for the food to reach a certain level of doneness and color before manually lifting the frying basket out of the oil.

[0003] Manually operating the frying basket carries a risk of burns. During frying, when food containing moisture is placed into the boiling oil, a large amount of steam is released. As the moisture vaporizes in the hot oil, numerous bubbles burst open, posing a risk of burns to the hands from the steam or burns from hot oil splattering out. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a lifting structure for a deep fryer basket, which can realize automatic lifting of the fryer basket.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] (1) The drive device can drive the drive shaft to rotate, and the drive shaft drives the drive swing arm to rotate. When the drive shaft rotates clockwise, the drive surface and the driven surface slide relative to each other. The drive surface drives the connecting piece to move upward through the driven surface, thereby moving the frying basket out of the oil tank. At this time, food can be placed in the frying basket. Then the drive shaft rotates counterclockwise, and the connecting piece will move downward along the driven surface. The frying basket will then move into the oil tank for frying. The frying basket can be raised and lowered automatically to avoid burning hands.

[0022] (2) The vertical connecting part and the horizontal connecting part are integrally formed by bending. This method is convenient to process and has low cost.

[0023] (3) The first limit switch and the second limit switch work together with the sensing bump to achieve the positioning function. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] Please see Figures 1-7 This utility model provides a lifting structure technical solution for a deep fryer basket 4.

[0034] A lifting structure for a deep fryer basket includes:

[0035] Housing 1, with an upward-facing oil trough 2 inside the housing 1;

[0036] Guide rail 3, two guide rails 3 are provided, and the two guide rails 3 are respectively fixed on opposite sides of the outer wall of the housing 1;

[0037] The frying basket 4 has a connecting piece 5 that corresponds to the guide rail 3. The connecting piece 5 has a connecting groove 6, and the guide rail 3 passes through the connecting groove 6 of the corresponding connecting piece 5.

[0038] The drive shaft 8 and the outer wall of the housing 1 are fixed with a drive bracket 9. The drive shaft 8 and the drive bracket 9 are rotatably connected. The two ends of the drive shaft 8 are fixed with drive swing arms 10 corresponding to the guide rails 3. The drive swing arms 10 are provided with drive through slots 11. The guide rails 3 pass through the drive through slots 11 of the corresponding drive swing arms 10. The upper side of the drive swing arm 10 is set as the drive surface 12. The lower side of the connecting groove 6 of the connector 5 is set as the driven surface 13. The drive surface 12 and the driven surface 13 are in sliding contact so that the connector 5 can be moved along the guide rail 3 by the rotation of the drive swing arm 10.

[0039] The drive unit drives the drive shaft 8 to rotate.

[0040] The drive unit can drive the drive shaft 8 to rotate, and the drive shaft 8 drives the drive swing arm 10 to rotate. When the drive shaft 8 rotates clockwise, the drive surface 12 and the driven surface 13 slide relative to each other. The drive surface 12 drives the connecting piece 5 to move upward through the driven surface 13, thereby moving the frying basket 4 out of the oil tank 2. At this time, food can be placed in the frying basket 4. Then, the drive shaft 8 rotates counterclockwise, and the connecting piece 5 moves downward along the driven surface 13, so that the frying basket 4 moves into the oil tank 2 for frying. The lifting and lowering of the frying basket 4 can be operated automatically to avoid burns to people's hands.

[0041] The following is one embodiment of the connection, wherein the connector 5 includes:

[0042] Vertical connecting part 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the frying basket 4;

[0043] A horizontal connecting part 15 is fixed to the upper end of the vertical connecting part 14, and a connecting groove 6 is disposed on the horizontal connecting part 15. The vertical connecting part 14 includes two vertical rods 16, and the horizontal connecting part 15 includes a horizontal rod 17 and two parallel rods 18 fixed at both ends of the horizontal rod 17. The two parallel rods 18 are fixed between the top ends of the two vertical rods 16, and the connecting groove 6 is disposed on the horizontal rod 17. The vertical connecting part 14 and the horizontal connecting part 15 are integrally formed. The connecting groove 6 is formed by bending the horizontal rod 17.

[0044] The vertical connecting part 14 and the horizontal connecting part 15 are integrally formed by bending, which is convenient and low-cost.

[0045] like Figure 4As shown, the drive device includes a drive motor 19 and a reducer 20. The reducer 20 is fixedly connected to the drive bracket 9, and the drive motor 19 is fixedly connected to the reducer 20. The shaft of the drive motor 19 is fixedly connected to the input end of the reducer 20, and the output end of the reducer 20 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 8. The drive motor 19 drives the drive shaft 8 to rotate through the reducer 20. The reducer 20 is an existing device, and its specific structure will not be described in detail.

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, a sensing wheel 21 is fixed on the drive shaft 8, and a sensing protrusion 22 is fixed on the sensing wheel 21. A first limit switch 23 and a second limit switch 24 are fixed on the drive bracket 9. When the sensing protrusion 22 rotates with the sensing wheel 21, it can selectively trigger the first limit switch 23 or the second limit switch 24. The first limit switch 23 and the second limit switch 24 are electrically connected to the drive device to control the start and stop of the drive device.

[0047] When the sensing protrusion 22 contacts the contact of the second limit switch 24, the frying basket 4 is in the position of being removed from the oil tank 2. Then, the drive shaft 8 rotates counterclockwise, and the sensing protrusion 22 also rotates counterclockwise until the sensing protrusion 22 contacts the contact of the first limit switch 23. At this point, the drive device stops driving the drive shaft 8 to rotate. The first limit switch 23 and the second limit switch 24 cooperate with the sensing protrusion 22 to achieve a positioning function.

[0048] Two handles 7 are fixed on the outer wall of the housing 1. The lower ends of the two guide rails 3 are fixedly connected to the two handles 7 respectively. The handles 7 are provided with downward-facing grooves. The handles 7 facilitate the picking up of the housing 1 and also serve to fix the guide rails 3.

[0049] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
