Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of food processing technology, and in particular relates to an automatic slag removal device for puffed food processing. Background Technology

[0002] During the frying and puffing process, puffed foods will produce crumbs. If these crumbs are not dealt with in time, they will burn and develop an off-flavor due to the continuous high temperature inside the fryer, affecting the processing quality of the puffed foods.

[0003] Patent application CN201921422571.9 discloses a frying machine for puffed food production that facilitates slag removal. The machine includes a frying tank, a wire mesh box, an oil pump, a nozzle, an oil drain pipe, a trough, a frame, a pull rod, an electric push rod, a groove, and a filter screen. The wire mesh box is placed inside the frying tank. A trough is formed at one end of the bottom of the frying tank, and a filter screen is placed inside the trough. A frame is fitted around the outside of the filter screen. An electric push rod is installed on the outer wall of the frying tank, and the frame is fixedly connected to the top of the electric push rod via a pull rod. A groove is formed at the bottom of the frying tank, and an oil pump is installed inside the groove. The input end of the oil pump is connected to the trough via a pipe.

[0004] Existing technologies can achieve timely oil circulation and filtration through circulating filter components, but they still have shortcomings:

[0005] Firstly, although existing slag removal devices can filter out the slag in the oil, the oil in the fryer needs to be completely emptied before the slag can be cleaned. Since the oil cannot be emptied frequently during food processing, the filtered slag will remain in the hot oil for a long time, which cannot solve the problem of the burnt smell caused by the slag being fried for a long time, thus affecting the overall food processing quality.

[0006] Secondly, when the existing slag discharge device filters the slag, the filtered oil slag is directly cleaned and poured away, while the slag still contains some oil, and this oil needs to be separated by sedimentation. The existing slag discharge device lacks the ability to separate the oil by sedimentation.

[0007] Finally, when the existing slag discharge device separates the oil from the slag, the separated oil drips directly into the high-temperature frying tank, which can easily cause oil splashing and burns to personnel. Utility Model Content

[0008] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an automatic residue removal device for puffed food processing. Through the arrangement of components such as a filter funnel, this invention can transport oil from inside the frying tank to the inside of the filter funnel for filtration, allowing the residue to be stored inside the funnel and preventing the fragments from burning.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic slag removal device for puffed food processing, comprising a frying tank, a control console on one side of the frying tank, a support frame on the upper surface of the frying tank, a filter funnel slidably engaged inside the support frame, a plurality of third filter holes on the lower surface of the filter funnel, a plurality of first long grooves evenly arranged on one side of the plurality of third filter holes on the inner wall of the filter funnel, a second long groove between every two adjacent first long grooves on the outer wall of the filter funnel, a second filter hole between every two adjacent first long grooves and second long grooves, an oil circulation filter assembly inside the frying tank, and a slag discharge nozzle rotatably mounted on one side wall of the support frame, the input end of the slag discharge nozzle being interconnected with the output end of the oil circulation filter assembly.

[0010] Optionally, an oil guide plate is rotatably provided below the lower end face of the filter funnel for the plurality of third filter holes, and a detachable filter cotton strip is provided on the lower end face of the oil guide plate, with one end of the filter cotton strip abutting against the inner side wall of the support frame.

[0011] Optionally, the filter funnel is provided with oil filter paper inside.

[0012] Optionally, the oil circulation filtration assembly includes an arc-shaped cover disposed on the inner wall of one side of the frying box. A gap that allows debris to pass through is provided between the lower end of the arc-shaped cover and the inner bottom surface of the frying box. A plurality of first filter holes are provided on the arc-shaped surface of the arc-shaped cover, and a circulation fan blade is rotatably disposed inside the arc-shaped cover.

[0013] Optionally, the oil circulation filter assembly further includes a slag discharge port disposed on the outer wall of the frying box on one side of the arc-shaped cover. The slag discharge port is connected to the interior of the frying box. A high-temperature oil pump is disposed above the slag discharge port on the outer wall of the frying box. A first oil guide pipe is disposed between the slag discharge port and the input end of the high-temperature oil pump. A second oil guide pipe is disposed between the slag discharge nozzle and the output end of the high-temperature oil pump.

[0014] Optionally, a filter plate is slidably disposed on one side of the arc-shaped cover inside the frying box. A plurality of fourth filter holes are provided on one side wall of the filter plate. The diameter of the fourth filter holes is larger than the diameter of the first filter holes. A detachable collection frame is provided on one side of the filter plate. A plurality of fourth filter holes are also provided on the end face of the collection frame near the filter plate.

[0015] Optionally, the inner bottom surface of the collection frame is provided with an inclined plate that slopes toward the filter plate.

[0016] In summary, compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this solution are as follows:

[0017] (1) By setting up components such as slag discharge port, slag discharge nozzle and filter funnel, this utility model can transport the oil inside the frying box to the inside of the filter funnel for filtration, so that the filter residue is stored inside the filter funnel, effectively preventing the slag produced by food processing from charring and affecting the quality of food processing. Moreover, the filter residue stored inside the filter funnel can allow the oil inside the filter residue to settle and be discharged, reducing the waste of oil caused by oil residue filtration.

[0018] (2) By setting the first long groove, the second long groove and the second filter hole, this utility model can effectively prevent the filter efficiency of the oil from being reduced due to excessive accumulation of filter residue inside the filter funnel. This allows the filtered oil to enter the interior of the second long groove through the first long groove and the second filter hole, and then flow into the interior of the frying box, thus ensuring the filtration efficiency of the residue in the oil.

[0019] (3) By setting up structures such as oil guide plate and filter cotton strip, the oil filtered from the inside of the filter funnel flows to the upper surface of the oil guide plate and filter cotton strip, and then flows along the inner side wall of the frying box to the inside of the frying box. This effectively prevents the filtered oil from flowing directly into the inside of the frying box, causing the hot oil inside the frying box to splash, thereby effectively improving the safety of the device.

[0020] (4) By setting up components such as filter plates, collection frames and inclined plates, this utility model enables larger particles of debris to be filtered and stored inside the collection frame under the suction force generated by the rotation of the circulating fan blades, thus preventing larger particles of debris from being sucked into the high-temperature oil pump and causing blockage and damage inside the high-temperature oil pump, and effectively improving the service life of the device.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Example 1:

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, an automatic slag removal device for puffed food processing includes a frying tank 10, an oil circulation filter assembly inside the frying tank 10, a control console 11 on one side of the frying tank 10 (the control console 11 is a centralized controller for controlling oil temperature and the operation of the oil circulation filter assembly), a support frame 20 on the upper surface of the frying tank 10, and a slag discharge nozzle 17 rotatably mounted on one side wall of the support frame 20. The input end of the slag discharge nozzle 17 is connected to the output end of the oil circulation filter assembly. A filter funnel 21 is slidably engaged inside the support frame 20. The cavity cross-section of the filter funnel 21 is trapezoidal, allowing the oil to pass through... The filter funnel 21 can store a large amount of debris for sedimentation and filtration. The support frame 20 has a support plate inside, which can support the inclined bottom surface of the filter funnel 21. The output end of the slag discharge nozzle 17 can rotate to face the inside of the filter funnel 21. Moreover, the oil circulation filter assembly can transport the oil containing debris inside the frying box 10 to the inside of the filter funnel 21 through the slag discharge nozzle 17. The lower end face of the filter funnel 21 is provided with multiple third filter holes 25. The multiple third filter holes 25 can preferentially filter the debris inside the oil, so that the filtered oil can flow back to the inside of the frying box 10 through the third filter holes 25.

[0031] Multiple first long grooves 22 are evenly arranged on one side of the inner wall of the filter funnel 21 for multiple third filter holes 25. A second long groove 23 is arranged between every two adjacent first long grooves 22 on the outer wall of the filter funnel 21. A second filter hole 24 is arranged between every two adjacent first long grooves 22 and second long grooves 23. When there is a lot of debris inside the filter funnel 21, the multiple third filter holes 25 at the bottom of the filter funnel 21 will not be able to discharge the filtered oil in time. At this time, the oil can first flow into the interior of the first long groove 22, then be filtered a second time through the second filter hole 24, and then flow into the interior of the second long groove 23. Finally, it flows into the interior of the fryer 10 along the second long groove 23, so that the filtered oil can form a rapid circulation.

[0032] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 2 and 2, the interior of the filter funnel 21 is equipped with replaceable oil filter paper 28. The oil filter paper 28 can perform deep filtration of the oil flowing into the filter funnel 21, so that small particles of debris can be filtered through the oil filter paper 28, ensuring that the oil flowing back into the fryer 10 is cleaner and clearer.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, an oil guide plate 26 is rotatably arranged below the lower end face of the filter funnel 21 below multiple third filter holes 25. A detachable filter cotton strip 27 is provided on the lower end face of the oil guide plate 26. One end of the filter cotton strip 27 abuts against the inner side wall of the support frame 20. An elastic element is provided between the oil guide plate 26 and the filter funnel 21 to form elastic support for the bottom inclined surface of the oil guide plate 26. This allows the oil guide plate 26 to drive the filter cotton strip 27 to form a tight abutment with the inner side wall of the support frame 20. At this time, the filtered oil flowing out of the third filter holes 25 and the second long groove 23 can first flow to the inclined upper end face of the oil guide plate 26 or the filter cotton strip 27, and then flow along the inclined upper end face of the oil guide plate 26 and the filter cotton strip 27 to the side wall of the support frame 20 and the fryer 10, and finally flow into the interior of the fryer 10. This effectively prevents the filtered oil from flowing directly into the interior of the fryer 10, causing the hot oil inside the fryer 10 to splash.

[0034] The oil guide plate 26 and the filter cotton strip 27 are connected by a snap-fit ​​groove and a snap-fit ​​strip, which facilitates the replacement and cleaning of the filter cotton strip 27. Since the filter cotton strip 27 is made of cotton, its surface is relatively rough, which can further filter the oil flowing to its end face, so that the small particles contained in the oil can be further filtered, thereby improving the filtration effect of the device.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the oil circulation filter assembly includes an arc-shaped cover 12 disposed on the inner wall of one side of the frying tank 10. A gap allowing debris to pass through is provided between the lower end of the arc-shaped cover 12 and the inner bottom surface of the frying tank 10. Multiple first filter holes 13 are provided on the arc-shaped surface of the arc-shaped cover 12. A circulating fan blade 14 is rotatably disposed inside the arc-shaped cover 12. One end of the circulating fan blade 14 is connected to a first pulley on the outer wall of the frying tank 10. A drive motor is disposed on one side of the first pulley, and a second pulley is disposed at the output end of the drive motor. A transmission belt is disposed between the first pulley and the second pulley. The drive motor drives the circulating fan blade 14 to rotate via the belt. Because the circulating fan blade 14 is in the frying tank 10 for a long time... The interior of the fryer 10 is in contact with hot oil, resulting in a high temperature for the circulating fan blades 14. The temperature of the circulating fan blades 14 is insulated by belt drive, preventing the drive motor from overheating during operation. The arc-shaped cover 12 has an overall curved shape. Through the rotation of the circulating fan blades 14, the oil inside the fryer 10 enters the interior of the arc-shaped cover 12 through the gap between the circulating fan blades 14 and the fryer 10. As oil continues to enter the interior of the arc-shaped cover 12, oil is continuously filtered through multiple first filter holes 13 and flows back into the exterior of the arc-shaped cover 12 after being filtered of debris. This forms a circulating filtration of the frying inside the fryer 10, allowing the frying to be temporarily stored inside the arc-shaped cover 12.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the oil circulation filtration assembly also includes a slag discharge port 15 disposed on the outer wall of the frying tank 10 on one side of the arc-shaped cover 12. The slag discharge port 15 is interconnected with the interior of the frying tank 10. A high-temperature oil pump 16 is disposed above the slag discharge port 15 on the outer wall of the frying tank 10. A first oil guide pipe 18 is connected between the slag discharge port 15 and the input end of the high-temperature oil pump 16. A second oil guide pipe 19 is connected between the slag discharge nozzle 17 and the output end of the high-temperature oil pump 16. When the high-temperature oil pump 16 is started, the high-temperature oil pump 16 will wash out the oil containing a lot of slag inside the arc-shaped cover 12 through the first oil guide pipe 18 and the slag discharge port 15. The oil flows through the first oil guide pipe 18, the second oil guide pipe 19 and the slag discharge nozzle 17 into the interior of the filter funnel 21 for filtration, so that the filtered slag will not stay in the high-temperature hot oil for a long time, thereby avoiding the scorching of the slag and effectively improving the quality of food frying. Example 2:

[0037] Based on Example 1, further examples are made, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, a filter plate 29 is slidably disposed on one side of the arc-shaped cover 12 inside the fryer 10. Multiple fourth filter holes 31 are provided on one side wall of the filter plate 29. The diameter of the fourth filter holes 31 is larger than the diameter of the first filter holes 13. Sliding grooves are provided on both sides of the filter plate 29 on the inner wall of the fryer 10. The sliding grooves are slidably engaged with both ends of the filter plate 29, facilitating the removal of the filter plate 29 from the fryer 10. Furthermore, the multiple fourth filter holes 31 on the end face of the filter plate 29 allow for the removal of filters. Large particles of debris are blocked to prevent them from being sucked into the interior of the arc-shaped cover 12 and into the interior of the high-temperature oil pump 16 through the first oil guide pipe 18, which would cause the high-temperature oil pump 16 to be damaged due to blockage. A detachable collection frame 30 is provided on one side of the filter plate 29, and the lower end face of the collection frame 30 abuts against the inner bottom surface of the fryer 10. The filter plate 29 and the collection frame 30 are fixed together by bolts, so that the collection frame 30 can be disassembled by bolts, making it easy to clean the inside of the collection frame 30.

[0038] Multiple fourth filter holes 31 are also provided on the end face of the collection frame 30 near the filter plate 29. The arrangement of the collection frame 30 and the fourth filter holes 31 allows the oil inside the frying tank 10 to be drawn into the interior of the arc-shaped cover 12 through the gap between the arc-shaped cover 12 and the frying tank 10 when the circulating fan blade 14 rotates. At this time, the oil on one side of the filter plate 29 will be filtered by the filter plate 29, thus filtering out large particles of debris. When the oil inside the frying tank 10 flows into the arc-shaped cover 12, it will preferentially flow along the inner bottom surface of the frying tank 10. At this time, most of the oil will first enter the collection frame 30 and pass through the collection frame. The fourth filter hole 31 inside the collection frame 30 and the fourth filter hole 31 on the end face of the filter plate 29 flow into the interior of the arc-shaped cover 12, thereby causing large particles of debris to be collected in the interior of the collection frame 30, forming a storage for large particles of debris. The inner bottom surface of the collection frame 30 is provided with an inclined plate 32 that is inclined towards the filter plate 29. The inclined plate 32 makes it difficult for large particles of debris stored in the collection frame 30 to flow out of the collection frame 30, forming a better storage effect. When the filter plate 29 is pulled vertically, the collection frame 30 and the large particles of debris inside the collection frame 30 can be quickly cleaned.
