Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric fryer technology, specifically an oil-water separation electric fryer. Background Technology

[0002] Oil-water separator fryers utilize the density difference between oil and water and their layered design to separate residues during cooking. They are widely used in fast food restaurants, canteens, and food processing plants, and can fry meat, seafood, vegetables, and other ingredients.

[0003] For example, an existing Chinese patent (CN207253270U) discloses an energy-saving and environmentally friendly oil-water separation electric fryer, which includes a shell with supporting legs, an oil drain rack on one side of the shell, an inner liner inside the shell, and an electric heating rod extending into the inner liner. By setting up a heat-conducting oil pipe in conjunction with the electric heating rod, the oil temperature is controlled, which is energy-saving and environmentally friendly, solving the problem of high energy consumption in traditional oil-water separation fryers. Furthermore, a liquid level gauge is set up inside the fryer to automatically control the addition of water and oil, saving the time and effort of manual operation, and the control is precise and easy to keep the liquid level constant.

[0004] While existing oil-water separation fryers can settle residue to the water layer through their oil-water separation structure, users cannot directly observe the turbidity, suspended matter, and aging of the lower oil layer. They need to rely on experience to judge when to change the oil, which may result in wasted costs if the oil is changed too early or off-flavors and health risks if the oil is changed too late. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an oil-water separation electric fryer to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an oil-water separation electric fryer, comprising an outer shell and a pot body, wherein the pot body is fixed inside the outer shell, electric heating tubes are provided on both sides of the lower half of the pot body, a frying support mesh is provided in the middle of the pot body, a water outlet valve is provided at the bottom of one side of the pot body, an oil outlet valve is provided in the middle of one side of the pot body, a front panel is provided on one side of the outer shell, a transparent observation window is provided on one side of the middle of the pot body, and a sliding plate is slidably provided on one side of the middle of the front panel, the sliding plate being located outside the transparent observation window.

[0007] Furthermore, a support frame is provided around the bottom inner wall of the outer shell, the top of the support frame is fixed to the bottom outer wall of the pot body, and a support plate is provided in the center of the bottom inner wall of the outer shell, the top of the support plate is fixed to the bottom outer wall of the pot body.

[0008] Furthermore, the inner wall of the front panel is provided with slide rails on the upper and lower sides of the push-pull plate, and the push-pull plate can slide under the connection of the slide rails.

[0009] Furthermore, the transparent observation window is cylindrical and made of glass.

[0010] Furthermore, the top of the housing is provided with a cover plate, the four corners of the bottom of the housing are provided with omnidirectional brake casters, and the upper half of one side of the housing is provided with a control panel.

[0011] Furthermore, the electric heating tube is located below the frying support mesh plate.

[0012] Furthermore, a food basket is provided on one side of the top of the pot body, and L-shaped support strips are provided at both ends of the top of the food basket. Oil drain holes are provided at the bottom of both sides of the food basket.

[0013] Furthermore, the push-pull plate has several parallel strip grooves inside, the strip grooves penetrate the push-pull plate, and the edges of the strip grooves are rounded.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This invention, through its pot body, frying support mesh, and electric heating tube, achieves a layered structure in the oil-water separation fryer. Since the density of edible oil is less than that of water, after the water and edible oil are introduced into the pot body, they automatically form an upper oil layer and a lower water layer. The electric heating tube is located in the lower middle part of the oil layer, directly heating it. During frying, food is placed above the frying support mesh. Debris generated during frying passes through the mesh of the frying support mesh and enters the lower water layer, preventing residue from being repeatedly heated in the oil and causing charring. The lower water layer evaporates upon heating, producing steam that replenishes the upper oil layer with trace amounts of moisture as it rises, preventing excessively high oil temperatures from causing oxidation and deterioration, and extending the oil's lifespan. With residue separated from water, the oil layer remains clear, reducing the formation of harmful substances, resulting in fried food that is golden in color and free of black residue.

[0016] During the frying process, the sliding plate can be pushed left and right to expose the transparent observation window. The transparent observation window is located in the middle and lower part of the oil layer, allowing users to directly observe the turbidity, suspended matter, and aging of the lower oil layer, making it easier for users to judge when to change the oil. After observation, the sliding plate can be pulled back to protect the transparent observation window and prevent it from breaking.

[0017] The parts of the device not covered herein are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: an oil-water separation electric fryer, including an outer shell 1 and a pot body 6. The pot body 6 is fixed inside the outer shell 1. Electric heating tubes 8 are provided on both sides of the lower half of the pot body 6, and a frying support mesh plate 7 is provided in the middle of the pot body 6. The electric heating tubes 8 are located in the lower half of the pot body 6 and directly heat the upper oil layer through efficient heat transfer via thermal radiation. The frying support mesh plate 7 separates food from residue, allowing debris to pass through the mesh and sink into the lower water layer during frying, preventing residue from charring in the oil and keeping the oil clean. A water outlet valve 9 is provided at the bottom of one side of the pot body 6, and an oil outlet valve 12 is provided in the middle of one side of the pot body 6. The water outlet valve 9 is located at the bottom of the pot body 6 to facilitate the complete drainage of the water layer containing residue; the oil outlet valve 12 is located in the middle and can accurately extract the upper clean oil, realizing oil-water separation and residue removal, reducing the frequency and cost of oil changes.

[0026] A front panel 2 is provided on one side of the outer shell 1, and a transparent observation window 16 is provided on one side of the middle of the pot body 6. A sliding plate 3 is slidably provided on one side of the middle of the front panel 2, and the sliding plate 3 is located outside the transparent observation window 16. The transparent observation window 16 is located in the lower layer of the oil layer. The user can expose the observation window 16 when needed by sliding the sliding plate 3 to directly observe the turbidity, suspended matter and aging degree of the lower layer of oil and determine when to change the oil. After observation, the sliding plate 3 is pushed back to protect the observation window 16 from collision damage.

[0027] The bottom inner wall of the outer shell 1 is provided with support frames 11 around its perimeter. The top of the support frames 11 is fixed to the bottom outer wall of the pot body 6. A support plate 10 is provided in the center of the bottom inner wall of the outer shell 1. The top of the support plate 10 is fixed to the bottom outer wall of the pot body 6. The four support frames 11 and the central support plate 10 form a double fixing structure, which distributes the weight of the pot body 6, prevents local stress concentration from causing deformation, and enhances the overall impact resistance of the equipment.

[0028] The inner wall of the front panel 2 is equipped with slide rails 17 on both the upper and lower sides of the push-pull plate 3, allowing the push-pull plate 3 to slide smoothly. The slide rails 17 are designed to ensure smooth, uninterrupted sliding of the push-pull plate 3, reducing operating resistance and improving convenience for users frequently observing oil conditions, while also extending the service life of the push-pull plate 3 and the observation window 16. The slide rails 17 have end-limiting functions to prevent excessive left-right pushing or pulling of the push-pull plate 3, which could cause difficulty in closing.

[0029] The transparent observation window 16 is cylindrical and made of glass. The glass material is heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant, and it is not easily deformed or blurred by prolonged contact with hot oil and water vapor, ensuring clear observation.

[0030] The outer casing 1 has a cover plate 4 on top and omnidirectional brake casters at the four corners of the bottom. A control panel 5 is located on the upper half of one side of the outer casing 1. The cover plate 4 prevents foreign objects from falling into the pot body 6, ensuring hygiene; the omnidirectional brake casters facilitate the movement and positioning of the equipment, adapting to different kitchen layouts; the control panel 5, in conjunction with the oil and water temperature sensors installed inside the pot body 6, controls the heating power of the electric heating element 8. The control panel 5 integrates temperature control, timer, and other functions, improving operational accuracy and safety.

[0031] The electric heating element 8 is located below the frying support mesh plate 7. Placing the electric heating element 8 below the mesh plate 7 ensures that heat is transferred upwards from the bottom of the oil layer, forming uniform convection and avoiding localized overheating that could lead to uneven frying of food or rapid deterioration of the oil quality.

[0032] A food basket 13 is provided on one side of the top of the pot body 6. L-shaped support bars 14 are provided at both ends of the top of the food basket 13, and oil drain holes 15 are provided at the bottom of both sides of the food basket 13. The food basket 13 is suspended from the top of the pot body 6 by the L-shaped support bars 14 for easy access. The oil drain holes 15 are designed to allow excess oil from the fried food to drip back into the pot body 6, reducing the greasiness of the finished product and preventing oil droplets from splashing out and causing burns or contamination.

[0033] The sliding plate 3 has several parallel grooves inside, which run through the sliding plate 3 and have rounded edges. The parallel grooves allow the state of the oil inside the transparent observation window 6 to be seen even when the sliding plate 3 is closed, sacrificing some protection, so that observation can be performed without pushing or pulling the plate.

[0034] When using an oil-water separation electric fryer, based on the fact that the density of cooking oil is less than that of water, after the water and cooking oil are introduced into the pot body 6, they automatically form a layered structure with an upper oil layer and a lower water layer. The electric heating tube is located in the lower middle part of the oil layer, directly heating the oil layer. During frying, the food is placed above the frying support mesh plate 7. The debris generated during the frying process passes through the mesh on the frying support mesh plate 7 and enters the water layer below, avoiding the residue from being repeatedly heated in the oil and causing it to caramelize. The water in the lower layer evaporates when heated, producing water vapor, which replenishes a small amount of water to the upper oil layer during the rising process, preventing the oil temperature from being too high and causing oxidation and deterioration, thus extending the oil's service life. After the residue is separated from the water, the oil layer remains clear, reducing the generation of harmful substances. The fried food is golden in color and free of black residue.

[0035] During the frying process, the push-pull plate 3 can be pushed left and right to expose the transparent observation window 16. The transparent observation window 16 is located in the middle and lower part of the oil layer, allowing users to directly observe the turbidity, suspended matter and aging of the middle and lower oil layer, making it easier for users to judge when to change the oil. After the observation is finished, the push-pull plate 3 can be pulled back to protect the transparent observation window 16 and prevent it from being damaged.

[0036] Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
