Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of French fry processing technology, and in particular to a French fry drying machine. Background Technology

[0002] A French fry drying machine is a device used to pre-treat cut French fries during the French fry production process. It accelerates moisture evaporation through strong winds and low-temperature airflow, ensuring that the French fries reach the optimal degree of dryness before frying or baking, thereby improving the taste and quality of the finished product.

[0003] Traditional French fry drying typically occurs after blanching. The fries are fed onto a conveyor belt on the surface of a conveyor machine and transported forward. During transport, a fan mounted on the upper frame is activated, generating a strong, low-temperature airflow that blows onto the surface of the fries, achieving rapid cooling and drying. However, in actual use, it has been found that the continuous feeding of fries into the dryer causes excessive contact and accumulation between them, resulting in dead zones during the fan drying process. This affects the drying effect and subsequent processing. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that when conveying French fries to the air dryer, the continuous conveying of the fries causes excessive contact and accumulation between them, resulting in dead corners during the drying process, which affects the drying effect and subsequent processing.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a French fry drying machine, including a conveyor, a conveyor belt installed on the surface of the conveyor, a plurality of mounting frames installed on the surface of the conveyor, wherein two fans are installed on the surface of the mounting frames, and a reinforcing device is provided on one side of the surface of the conveyor, wherein the reinforcing device conveys the blanched French fries in sections by means of mounting rods and mounting plates.

[0006] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: when the air dryer is used to dry and cool the blanched French fries, the air dryer is started first, causing the conveyor belt on the conveyor to run. At the same time, the fan on the mounting frame will run and blow air. At the same time, the reinforcing device is activated. Then the blanched French fries will be conveyed into the reinforcing device and intermittently transferred through the reinforcing device.

[0007] Preferably, the reinforcing device includes two mounting plates, which are fixedly connected to both sides of the conveyor surface. A through-mounted mounting rod is mounted on both mounting plates. Several evenly distributed rotating plates are fixedly connected to the arc surface of the mounting rod. A servo motor is mounted at one end of the mounting rod and connected to the mounting plate. Connecting rods are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the two mounting plates. A rotating rod is rotatably mounted through the inner wall of the connecting rod. A receiving plate is fixedly connected to the arc surface of the rotating rod. A gear is mounted on the arc surface of the connecting rod. A shaped wheel is rotatably mounted on the surface of one of the connecting rods. Four protrusions on the shaped wheel mesh with the gear. A sprocket is mounted on one side of the rotating rod and the shaped wheel, and a chain meshes on the surface of the sprocket. A stop bar is mounted on the side of the two connecting rods that are close to each other.

[0008] The effect achieved by the above-mentioned components is that when using the air dryer to air dry the blanched French fries, the French fries are less likely to come into excessive contact with each other, resulting in excessive stacking and crowding. This improves the air drying effect of the air dryer, facilitates subsequent processing, and also improves the use effect and work efficiency of the air dryer.

[0009] Preferably, bearings are installed on the arc surfaces at both ends of the mounting rod, wherein the inner and outer rings of the bearings are fixedly connected to the mounting plate and the mounting rod, respectively.

[0010] The effect achieved by the above components is that, through the bearing arrangement, the mounting rods are less likely to rub against each other when they rotate on the mounting plate, thus preventing damage to the components and ensuring the normal use of the reinforcing device.

[0011] Preferably, the strengthening device further includes a placement plate installed on one side of the rotating plate, wherein the placement plate improves the performance of the rotating plate.

[0012] The effect achieved by the above components is that, by setting up the placement plate, when the fries on the receiving plate are intermittently rotating in the gap, the fries are less likely to slip off, thus ensuring the stable receiving and conveying of the fries.

[0013] Preferably, the reinforcing device further includes a limiting rod mounted on the surface of the connecting rod, wherein the limiting rod restricts the rotation angle of the receiving plate.

[0014] The effect achieved by the above components is that, by setting the limit rod, the receiving plate is less likely to overturn due to excessive rotation angle when rotating, which would cause abnormal use of the reinforcing device components.

[0015] Preferably, the reinforcing device further includes a stabilizing plate, wherein the stabilizing plate is installed through the rods on the rotating rod and the shaped wheel respectively.

[0016] The effect achieved by the above components is that, by setting the stabilizing plate, the shaped wheel can be stably connected and operated with the rotating rod when it rotates, and abnormal meshing is not likely to occur, thus ensuring the intermittent rotation of the receiving plate.

[0017] Preferably, baffles are fixedly connected to the arc surfaces at both ends of the mounting rod, wherein the baffles enhance the performance of the mounting rod.

[0018] The effect achieved by the above components is that, by setting up the baffle, the mounting plates on the mounting rod can stably place the French fries between the mounting plates when they are rotating, making it less likely for them to slip and fall from the side, thus preventing waste.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] This invention, when using a drying machine to air-dry blanched French fries, prevents the fries from excessively contacting each other and causing overcrowding, thereby improving the drying effect of the fan, facilitating subsequent processing, and enhancing the use and working efficiency of the drying machine.

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" or "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The French fry drying machine shown includes a conveyor 1, a conveyor belt 4 mounted on the surface of the conveyor 1, several mounting frames 2 mounted on the surface of the conveyor 1, two fans 3 mounted on the surface of the mounting frames 2, and a reinforcing device 5 provided on one side of the surface of the conveyor 1. The reinforcing device 5 uses mounting rods 52 and mounting plates 51 to transport the blanched French fries in segments.

[0030] Figures 1-4The reinforcing device 5 shown includes two mounting plates 51, which are fixedly connected to both sides of the surface of the conveyor 1. A through-mounted mounting rod 52 is mounted on both mounting plates 51. Several evenly distributed rotating plates 54 are fixedly connected to the arc surface of the mounting rod 52. A servo motor 53 is mounted on one end of the mounting rod 52 and connected to the mounting plate 51. Connecting rods 55 are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the two mounting plates 51, and rotating rods 56 are rotatably mounted through the inner wall of the connecting rods 55. Bearings are fixedly connected to the arc surface of the rotating rods 56. A gear 510 is mounted on the arc surface of the connecting plate 57 and the connecting rod 55, and a shaped wheel 511 is rotatably mounted on the surface of one of the connecting rods 55. The four protrusions on the shaped wheel 511 mesh with the gear 510. A sprocket 59 is mounted on one side of the rotating rod 56 and the shaped wheel 511, and a chain 58 meshes on the surface of the sprocket 59. A stop bar 512 is mounted on the side of the two connecting rods 55 that are close to each other. When using a dryer to dry and cool the blanched fries, the dryer is started first, causing the conveyor belt 4 on the conveyor 1 to run, and the mounting frame is installed at the same time. The fan 3 on plate 2 will run and blow air, simultaneously activating the servo motor 53 on mounting plate 51. The servo motor 53 will drive the mounting rod 52 on mounting plate 51 to rotate. Since the irregular wheel 511 is connected to the mounting rod 52 via sprocket 59 and chain 58, the irregular wheel 511 will rotate. Several protrusions on the irregular wheel 511 will abnormally contact and mesh with gear 510, causing the rotating rod 56 to rotate on the connecting rod 55. At this time, the blanched fries will be conveyed onto the receiving plate 57, which will then undergo intermittent, regular vibrations. This causes the fries on the receiving plate 57 to fall intermittently between the two rotating plates 54. Then, by rotating the mounting rod 52, the fries between the rotating plates 54 fall in segments onto the conveyor belt 4. As they move on the conveyor belt 4, they are blown dry by the fan 3 on the mounting frame 2. When using the air dryer to air dry the blanched fries, it prevents the fries from excessively contacting each other and causing excessive crowding, thereby improving the air drying effect of the fan 3 on the fries, facilitating subsequent processing, and improving the use effect and working efficiency of the air dryer.

[0031] Figures 1-4Bearings 517 are installed on the arc surfaces at both ends of the mounting rod 52 shown. The inner and outer rings of the bearings 517 are fixedly connected to the mounting plate 51 and the mounting rod 52, respectively. The bearings 517 prevent the mounting rod 52 from rubbing against each other when it rotates on the mounting plate 51, thus preventing damage to the components and ensuring the normal use of the reinforcing device 5. The reinforcing device 5 also includes a placement plate 513 installed on one side of the rotating plate 54. The placement plate 513 improves the performance of the rotating plate 54. The placement plate 513 stops the intermittent gaps in the rotating plate 54 on the receiving plate 57, preventing the fries from slipping and ensuring stable receiving and conveying of the fries.

[0032] Figures 1-4 The reinforcing device 5 shown also includes a limiting rod 515 installed on the surface of the connecting rod 55. The limiting rod limits the rotation angle of the receiving plate 57. By setting the limiting rod 515, the receiving plate 57 is less likely to overturn due to excessive rotation angle when rotating, which would cause abnormal use of the components of the reinforcing device 5. The reinforcing device 5 also includes a stabilizing plate 516. The stabilizing plate 516 is installed through the rods on the rotating rod 56 and the shaped wheel 511. By setting the stabilizing plate 516, the shaped wheel 511 can be stably connected and operated with the rotating rod 56 when rotating, and is less likely to have abnormal meshing, thus ensuring the intermittent rotation of the receiving plate 57.

[0033] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The mounting rod 52 shown has baffles 514 fixedly connected to the arc surfaces at both ends. The baffles 514 enhance the performance of the mounting rod 52. By setting the baffles 514, the mounting plates 51 on the mounting rod 52 can stably place the fries between the mounting plates 51 when the fries are rotating, preventing them from sliding off the side and falling off, thus avoiding waste.

[0034] Working principle: When using a dryer to dry and cool blanched French fries, the dryer is first started, causing the conveyor belt 4 on conveyor 1 to run. Simultaneously, the fan 3 on mounting frame 2 operates, blowing air. At the same time, the servo motor 53 on mounting plate 51 is activated, causing the mounting rod 52 on mounting plate 51 to rotate. Because the shaped wheel 511 is connected to the mounting rod 52 via sprocket 59 and chain 58, the shaped wheel 511 rotates. Several protrusions on the shaped wheel 511 abnormally engage with gear 510, causing the rotating rod 56 to rotate on connecting rod 55. At this point, the blanched French fries... The fries will be conveyed onto the receiving plate 57, which will intermittently vibrate regularly, causing the fries on the receiving plate 57 to fall intermittently between the two rotating plates 54. Then, through the rotation of the mounting rod 52, the fries between the rotating plates 54 will fall in segments onto the conveyor belt 4. As they move on the conveyor belt 4, they will be blown and dried by the fan 3 on the mounting frame 2. When using the air dryer to air dry the blanched fries, it can prevent the fries from excessively contacting each other and causing excessive crowding, thereby improving the air drying effect of the fan 3 on the fries, facilitating subsequent processing, and improving the use effect and working efficiency of the air dryer.

[0035] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
