[0043] Example 1

[0044] Please refer to Figures 1-8 The frying device includes: a first frying mechanism 1 and a second frying mechanism 2;

[0045] The first frying mechanism 1 includes a first driving component 101, a first frying hopper 102, and a first frying pot 103; the first frying hopper 102 is installed at the output end of the first driving component 101, and the first frying pot 103 is used to fry the material in the first frying hopper 102.

[0046] The second frying mechanism 2 includes a second drive assembly 201, a second frying hopper 202, and a second fryer 203; the second frying hopper 202 is installed at the output end of the second drive assembly 201, and the second fryer 203 is used to fry the material in the second frying hopper 202.

[0047] The first driving component 101 is used to drive the first frying hopper 102 to move, so that the first frying hopper 102 receives material, enters the first fryer 103 for frying, and outputs the material to the second frying hopper 202; the second driving component 201 is used to drive the second frying hopper 202 to move, so that the second frying hopper 202 receives material in the first frying hopper 102, enters the second fryer 203 for frying, and outputs the material to the dispensing device.

[0048] In this embodiment, after a user purchases a serving of fries (this embodiment uses fries as an example; in other embodiments, it could be any other food that requires frying), the corresponding amount of fries enters the first frying hopper 102. Then, the first driving component 101 drives the first frying hopper 102 into the first fryer 103 for frying. After frying for a preset time, the first driving component 101 drives the first frying hopper 102 to move, causing the fries in the first frying hopper 102 to fall into the second frying hopper 202. The fries that have undergone the first frying are temporarily stored in the first frying hopper 102. When a user purchases another serving of fries, the second driving mechanism drives the second frying hopper 202 into the second fryer 203 for frying. After frying for a preset time, the second driving component 201 drives the second frying hopper 202 to move, causing the fries in the second frying hopper 202 to fall into the dispensing device. At the same time, the first frying mechanism 1 repeats the above steps to pre-fry a serving of fries and temporarily store it in the first frying hopper 102. This frying device can perform two frying processes. For most fried products, the taste is better after two fryings. The first frying is done and pre-stored before the user purchases the product. Therefore, after the user purchases the product, only the second frying is required, which reduces the user's waiting time after purchasing the product and ensures that the product purchased by the user is freshly fried. It should be noted that if the pre-fried product is not purchased within the preset time, it must be discarded to prevent spoilage.

[0049] Furthermore, the frying device also includes a transfer box 3, which is used to receive materials from the first frying hopper 102, temporarily store materials, and output materials to the second frying hopper 202.

[0050] Furthermore, the frying device also includes a weighing mechanism 4, the transfer box 3 is installed on the weighing mechanism 4, and the weighing mechanism 4 is used to weigh the transfer box 3.

[0051] Furthermore, the transfer box 3 is provided with a third drive assembly 5 at its bottom. The transfer box 3 includes a surrounding panel assembly 301 and a bottom plate 302. The bottom plate 302 is installed at the output end of the third drive assembly 5. The third drive assembly 5 is used to drive the bottom plate 302 to move, so that the bottom plate 302 opens and closes the bottom of the surrounding panel assembly 301.

[0052] Furthermore, the enclosure assembly 301 includes a fixed plate 3011 and a movable plate 3012; the bottom of the movable plate 3012 is hinged to the fixed plate 3011, the movable plate 3012 is located near the end of the first frying hopper 102, the fixed plate 3011 is provided with a driving member 6, the output end of the driving member 6 is connected to the movable plate 3012, and the driving member 6 is used to drive the movable plate 3012 to rotate.

[0053] In this embodiment, the transfer box 3 is used for transfer between the first frying and the second frying. The transfer box 3 is installed on the weighing mechanism 4, which weighs the transfer box 3 to determine whether there are French fries inside. At the same time, the transfer box 3 is located directly above the second frying hopper 202. The bottom plate 302 is opened by the third drive assembly 5, allowing the French fries in the transfer box 3 to fall directly into the second frying hopper 202. In this embodiment, the third drive assembly 5 is a gear and rack assembly. Since the transfer box 3 and the first frying hopper 102 are not on the same vertical line, the movable plate 3012 needs to be driven by the drive component 6 to tilt the movable plate 3012 towards the first frying hopper 102 to receive the French fries from the first frying hopper 102. In this embodiment, the drive component 6 is a stroke motor.

[0054] Furthermore, the first explosive mechanism 1 also includes a first top plate 104, which is mounted on the first drive assembly 101;

[0055] The first frying hopper 102 includes a first hopper body 1021 and a first hopper bottom 1022. The first hopper bottom 1022 is hinged to the first hopper body 1021 through a first rotating shaft 1023, and the first hopper bottom 1022 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 1023.

[0056] One end of the first rotating shaft 1023 is provided with a first paddle 1024. The first driving assembly 101 drives the frying hopper to move, so that the first paddle 1024 abuts against the first top plate 104, and drives the first hopper bottom 1022 to open and close the first hopper body 1021 through the first rotating shaft 1023.

[0057] The opening direction of the first hopper bottom 1022 is towards the second frying mechanism 2.

[0058] Furthermore, the first rotating shaft 1023 is provided with a first reset member 1025, which is used to drive the first bucket bottom 1022 to reset, so that the first bucket bottom 1022 is in the position of closing the first bucket body 1021.

[0059] In this embodiment, the first driving assembly 101 drives the first frying hopper 102 to move vertically upward, causing the first paddle 1024 to abut against the first top plate 104. At this time, the first driving assembly 101 drives the first frying hopper 102 to continue moving upward. Meanwhile, the first paddle 1024 is squeezed by the first top plate 104, causing the first rotating shaft 1023 and the first hopper bottom 1022 to rotate together, causing the first hopper bottom 1022 to open the first hopper body 1021. The French fries in the first frying hopper 102 then open from the opening between the first hopper bottom 1022 and the first hopper body 1021. The fries fall into the second frying hopper 202 or the transfer box 3; when the fries in the first frying hopper 102 fall into the transfer box 3, a discharge channel is formed between the bottom of the first hopper 1022 and the movable plate 3012; after the fries in the first frying hopper 102 are completely discharged, the first drive assembly 101 drives the first frying hopper 102 to move vertically downward, so that a paddle separates from the first top plate 104. At this time, the first rotating shaft 1023 is driven by the first reset member 1025 to rotate the bottom of the first hopper 1022, so that the bottom of the first hopper 1022 closes the first hopper body 1021.

[0060] Furthermore, the first explosive mechanism 1 also includes a second top plate 204, which is mounted on the second drive assembly 201;

[0061] The second frying hopper 202 includes a second hopper body 2021 and a second hopper bottom 2022. The second hopper bottom 2022 is hinged to the second hopper body 2021 through a second rotating shaft 2023, and the second hopper bottom 2022 is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 2023.

[0062] The second rotating shaft 2023 is provided with a second paddle 2024 at both ends. The second driving assembly 201 drives the frying hopper to move, so that the second paddle 2024 abuts against the second top plate 204, and drives the second hopper bottom 2022 to open and close the second hopper body 2021 through the second rotating shaft 2023.

[0063] The opening direction of the second hopper bottom 2022 is towards the side away from the first frying mechanism 1.

[0064] Furthermore, the second rotating shaft 2023 is provided with a second reset member 2025, which is used to drive the second bucket bottom 2022 to reset, so that the second bucket bottom 2022 is in the position of closing the second bucket body 2021.

[0065] In this embodiment, the second driving assembly 201 drives the second frying hopper 202 to move vertically upward, causing the second paddle 2024 to abut against the second top plate 204. At this time, the second driving assembly 201 drives the second frying hopper 202 to continue moving upward. At this time, the second paddle 2024 is squeezed by the second top plate 204, causing the second rotating shaft 2023 and the second hopper bottom 2022 to rotate together, causing the second hopper bottom 2022 to open the second hopper body 2021. The French fries in the second frying hopper 202 fall into the dispensing device from the opening between the second hopper bottom 2022 and the second hopper body 2021. After the French fries in the second frying hopper 202 are completely discharged, the second driving assembly 201 drives the second frying hopper 202 to move vertically downward, causing the second paddle to separate from the second top plate 204. At this time, the second rotating shaft 2023 is driven by the second reset member 2025 to rotate the second hopper bottom 2022, causing the second hopper bottom 2022 to close the second hopper body 2021.
