Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of slag scraping equipment for fryers, specifically a slag scraping equipment for fryers. Background Technology

[0002] Deep fryer scraping equipment generally refers to devices specifically designed in deep frying production lines to remove scum from the surface of the oil. During the production of fried food, when the food is fried in high-temperature oil, the moisture on the surface of the food evaporates rapidly. At the same time, some impurities, debris, and fine particles produced by high-temperature caramelization gradually precipitate out and float on the surface of the oil, forming scum. If this scum is not removed in time, it will have many adverse effects. At this time, it is necessary to use deep fryer scraping equipment to continuously and effectively remove the scum from the surface of the oil. Depending on different frying processes and product requirements, the design of scraping equipment will also vary. For example, some use mechanical transmission to drive the scraper to reciprocate, while others use electric or pneumatic devices to achieve more precise control.

[0003] However, during the frying process, the scraper of the fryer inevitably accumulates fried food debris and charred particles on its surface due to continuous contact with the high-temperature oil and various impurities in the oil. To avoid affecting the quality of the oil, the machine needs to be stopped for cleaning. Each cleaning requires a certain amount of time, including cooling the equipment, disassembling the scraper, cleaning the dirt, reinstalling the scraper, and reheating the equipment. This greatly interrupts the production process, resulting in a significant decrease in production efficiency, increased production costs for enterprises, and an inability to meet the needs of large-scale, continuous production. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a scraping device for fryers, so as to solve the technical problem that the scraper of the existing scraping device for fryers is prone to sticking to fried food debris and charred particles during the frying process, requiring frequent shutdowns for cleaning, resulting in production process interruption, reduced production efficiency and increased production costs for enterprises, and failing to meet the needs of large-scale continuous production.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a slag scraping device for a fryer, comprising a fryer, a top cover, and a slag scraping device, wherein the top cover comprises a cover body, the inner wall of the cover body is fixedly connected to the slag scraping device via a connecting frame, and a maintenance mechanism is provided on one side of the slag scraping device; The maintenance mechanism includes two mounting seats.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Example

[0025] A slag scraping device for a deep fryer, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes a fryer 1, a top cover 2, and a slag scraping device 3. The top cover 2 includes a cover body 201. The inner wall of the cover body 201 is fixedly connected to the slag scraping device 3 through a connecting frame. A maintenance mechanism 4 is provided on one side of the slag scraping device 3. The maintenance mechanism 4 includes two first mounting seats 401, which are disposed on both sides of the inner wall of the cover 201. A motor 402 is disposed on one side of the two first mounting seats 401. A screw groove 403 is opened on the inner wall of the two first mounting seats 401, and a screw 404 is disposed in the screw groove 403. The output end of the motor 402 is fixedly connected to the screw 404. A screw rod 404 is engaged with a screw rod seat, and two screw rod seats are equipped with slag suction head frames 405. A slag suction head 406 is installed on the slag suction head frame 405, and a slag suction hose 407 is installed on the top of the slag suction head 406. The other end of the slag suction hose 407 is connected to the slag collection box 408, and an air pump is installed in the slag collection box 408. The port of the slag suction head 406 has an adjustable opening size to adapt to different amounts of oil slag suction needs. The fryer 1, the top cover 2, and the slag scraping device 3 are combined together. The inner wall of the cover body 201 of the top cover 2 is fixed to the slag scraping device 3 through a connecting frame. A maintenance mechanism 4 is also provided on one side of the slag scraping device 3. This layout allows for simultaneous slag scraping and oil slag cleaning during frying operations, greatly improving the overall functionality and ease of operation of the equipment.

[0026] See Figure 1 , Figure 4 When the lead screw 404 drives the slag suction head 406 near the scraper 302, it can be used to suck up the oil sludge on the scraper 302. When the lead screw 404 drives the slag suction head 406 away from the scraper 302, it will not obstruct the running trajectory of the scraper 302, and an appropriate gap is left between the slag suction head 406 and the scraper 302 to prevent scraping during operation. When the lead screw 404 drives the slag suction head 406 near the scraper 302, it can accurately suck up the oil sludge on the scraper 302; when it moves away, it will not interfere with the running trajectory of the scraper 302, and an appropriate gap is left between the slag suction head 406 and the scraper 302 to prevent scraping. This design not only efficiently cleans oil sludge but also ensures stable operation of the slag scraping device and reduces equipment wear.

[0027] See Figure 1 , Figure 2A detection mechanism 5 is installed on one side of the slag scraping device 3. The detection mechanism 5 includes a connecting rod 501, which is fixedly connected to a connecting frame. A vision sensor 503 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 501 via a second mounting base 401. The vision sensor 503 is used to detect the position of the scraper 302 and has waterproof and oil-proof properties to adapt to the frying environment. The detection mechanism 5, with the connecting rod 501 fixed to the connecting frame and its bottom connected to the waterproof and oil-proof vision sensor 503 via the second mounting base 401, can accurately detect the position of the scraper 302. This provides a basis for precise control of the slag removal operation, improves the automation level of the equipment, and better adapts to the complex frying environment.

[0028] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 The fryer 1 includes a mounting frame 101, with a frying tank 102 located on the inner side of the mounting frame 101. An inlet 103 and an outlet 104 are respectively located on both sides of the frying tank 102. The tank wall of the frying tank 102 has a heat insulation layer to reduce heat loss. The mounting frame 101 provides stable support for the equipment, the inlet 103 and outlet 104 facilitate the entry and exit of fried food, and the heat insulation layer reduces heat loss and improves energy efficiency.

[0029] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 A first transmission belt 105 is installed inside the frying tank 102 and is immersed in oil. A pusher plate 106 is installed on the first transmission belt 105 to push the fried food from the inlet 103 to the outlet 104. The pusher plate 106 has high-temperature resistance and corrosion resistance to extend its service life. The pusher plate 106, with its high-temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, can work stably in harsh frying environments, is not easily damaged, ensures continuous and stable delivery of fried food, and improves production efficiency.

[0030] See Figure 1 , Figure 4 The top of the cover 201 is provided with multiple smoke outlets 202, and each smoke outlet 202 is equipped with an exhaust fan and a filter screen to filter impurities in the fumes. The exhaust fans can promptly remove the fumes generated during frying, and the filters can remove impurities from the fumes, effectively improving the working environment, reducing the pollution of the equipment and surrounding environment by fumes, and enhancing the environmental performance of the equipment. Example

[0031] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 Electric actuators 107 are installed on both sides of the mounting bracket 101. The output ends of the two electric actuators 107 are fixedly connected to the top cover 2. The electric actuators 107 have a self-locking function, automatically locking their positions after the top cover 2 is opened or closed. The electric actuators 107 on both sides of the mounting bracket 101, with their output ends fixed to the top cover 2 and possessing a self-locking function, allow for easy opening or closing of the top cover 2. Upon reaching the correct position, they automatically lock, preventing accidental movement of the top cover 2 and greatly improving the safety and convenience of equipment operation.

[0032] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The second drive belt 301 in the slag scraping device 3 has an anti-slip texture on its surface. The scraper 302 is detachably fixed to the second drive belt 301 for easy replacement and cleaning. The anti-slip texture ensures that the scraper 302 is stable and does not slip during operation. The detachable design facilitates replacement and operation when the scraper 302 is damaged or needs cleaning, reducing equipment maintenance costs and enhancing operational flexibility.

[0033] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: First, during the operation of the fryer 1, the first transmission belt 105 in the frying tank 102 drives the pusher 106 to rotate continuously, pushing the fried food smoothly from the inlet 103 to the outlet 104. Since the pusher 106 has the characteristics of high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, it can adapt to the frying environment, ensure stable operation for a long time, and reduce equipment downtime and maintenance due to component damage. At the same time, the heat insulation layer of the frying tank 102 effectively reduces heat loss, maintains the temperature required for frying, and improves energy utilization efficiency. The cover 201 of the top cover 2 is fixedly connected to the slag scraping device 3 through the connecting frame. The surface of the second transmission belt 301 in the slag scraping device 3 has anti-slip texture. The scraper 302 is fixed to the second transmission belt 301 in a detachable manner. During the frying process, the scraper 302 moves with the second transmission belt 301 and continuously scrapes off the floating oil residue in the frying tank 102 to prevent the accumulation of oil residue from affecting the quality of fried food. The detachable design of the scraper 302 makes it convenient to replace and clean it when needed, ensuring the slag scraping effect. When it is necessary to clean the oil residue on the scraper 302, the detection mechanism 5 comes into play. The connecting rod 501 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame, and the bottom of the rod is fixedly installed with the vision sensor 503 through the second mounting base 401. With its waterproof and oil-proof properties, the sensor accurately detects the position of the scraper 302 in the frying environment and feeds the position information back to the control system. Based on the information fed back by the vision sensor 503, the control system starts the motor 402 in the maintenance mechanism 4. The motor 402 drives the lead screw 404 to rotate in the lead screw groove 403 of the first mounting seat 401. The lead screw seat meshing with the lead screw 404 drives the slag suction head frame 405 to move, thereby bringing the slag suction head 406 mounted on the slag suction head frame 405 closer to the scraper 302. Since the port of the slag suction head 406 has an adjustable opening size design, it can adjust the size according to the actual oil slag on the scraper 302. Depending on the actual situation, the opening size is adjusted to accommodate different amounts of oil residue suction needs. The air pump in the slag collection box 408 provides suction force to the slag suction head 406 through the slag suction hose 407, sucking the oil residue on the scraper 302 into the slag collection box 408. After cleaning, the motor 402 rotates in the opposite direction, so that the slag suction head 406 is away from the scraper 302, and an appropriate gap is left between the slag suction head 406 and the scraper 302 to prevent scraping during operation, while not affecting the normal operating trajectory of the scraper 302. During the operation of the fryer 1, the exhaust fan inside the smoke outlet 202 at the top of the cover 201 works continuously to exhaust the oil fumes generated during frying. The filter screen set at the smoke outlet 202 effectively filters impurities in the oil fumes, reducing pollution to the environment. When it is necessary to perform maintenance, cleaning, or add food to the inside of the fryer 1, the electric push rods 107 on both sides of the mounting frame 101 come into play. The output end of the electric push rod 107 is fixedly connected to the top cover 2. The control system controls the electric push rod 107 to extend and smoothly open the top cover 2, making it convenient for operators to operate. After it is opened to the correct position, the self-locking function of the electric push rod 107 automatically locks the position of the top cover 2 to prevent the top cover 2 from falling accidentally and causing safety hazards. After the operation is completed, the electric push rod 107 is controlled to retract and close the top cover 2. After it is closed to the correct position, it also automatically locks to ensure the normal operation of the fryer 1.
