Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of French fry processing, and in particular to a French fry coating device. Background Technology

[0002] French fries require a coating process to improve their texture and flavor. Chinese utility model patent CN221902296U discloses a food coating machine. This machine includes a support frame with a conveyor belt installed inside. A spray box is located below the conveyor belt, with both ends of the spray box mounted on the inner sidewalls of the support frame. A spray nozzle is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the spray box. A horizontal plate is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the support frame, and a feeding assembly is located on the upper surface of the horizontal plate. A support plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support frame, and a storage box is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support plate. A coating trough is located below the storage box, and a cleaning mechanism is installed inside the coating trough. This machine can coat different types of food, avoiding the need to adjust or flip the food during coating, reducing the hassle of coating food and improving coating efficiency. Furthermore, it enhances the versatility of the coating machine and expands its application range.

[0003] However, the above-mentioned slurry machine adopts the working method of spraying slurry simultaneously above and below the upper conveyor belt. This results in a large amount of slurry being sprayed onto the conveyor belt, causing slurry waste and the residual slurry on the conveyor belt is also prone to causing pollution. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a French fry coating device that can avoid a large amount of slurry adhering to the conveyor belt, reduce slurry waste and slurry pollution, and has good practicality.

[0005] This utility model discloses a French fry coating device, including a conveyor belt; it also includes multiple mesh plates, a feeding trough, a frame, a feeding hopper, and a spraying mechanism. Multiple mesh plates are evenly installed on the outer surface of the conveyor belt, which is mounted above the feeding trough via the frame. The feeding trough and conveyor belt are inclined and parallel to each other. The lower end of the feeding trough is the feeding end, and the feeding hopper is installed on the feeding end. The upper end of the feeding trough is the discharging end. The ends of the multiple mesh plates scrape against the feeding trough. The spraying mechanism conveys the coating material to the discharging end of the feeding trough, making the flow direction of the coating material opposite to the conveying direction of the French fries. During operation, the spraying mechanism conveys the coating material to the feeding trough... The trough's discharge end conveys the slurry, allowing it to flow from the discharge end along the feeding trough towards the inlet end. The conveyor belt is driven by a motor, rotating multiple mesh plates. French fries are fed into the feeding trough through the feed hopper. The lower mesh plates push the fries towards the discharge end of the feeding trough. During this pushing process, the fries come into full contact with the slurry and are evenly coated. The coated fries are then discharged through the discharge end of the feeding trough. Compared to existing technologies, the slurry does not pass through the conveyor belt, avoiding a large amount of slurry adhering to the conveyor belt and multiple mesh plates, reducing slurry waste, and minimizing pollution caused by residual slurry on the conveyor belt. This design is highly practical.

[0006] Preferably, the shotcrete mechanism includes a slurry pump, a multi-way valve group, a return pipe, a slurry delivery pipe, and multiple shotcrete heads. The inlet of the slurry pump is connected to the output end of the multi-way valve group. The input end of the return pipe is connected to the feed end of the feed trough. The output end of the return pipe is connected to one input end of the multi-way valve group. The input end of the feed pipe is connected to the output end of the slurry pump. Multiple shotcrete heads are installed at the output end of the feed pipe, all facing the discharge end of the feed trough. The other input end of the multi-way valve group is connected to an external slurry preparation system. When the slurry pump operates, the multi-way valve group switches to allow the slurry to be transported through the feed pipe and sprayed onto the feed trough through the shotcrete heads. The slurry in the feed end of the feed trough is extracted through the return pipe and returned through the multi-way valve group, realizing the recycling of the slurry. Slurry is replenished through the other input end, which is practical.

[0007] Preferably, it also includes a shaft and an inner door panel. The feed hopper is provided with a clearance opening to avoid the conveyor belt and the mesh plate. The upper end of the inner door panel is hinged to the clearance opening of the feed hopper through the shaft. The inner door panel can block and guide the fries put into the feed hopper, reducing the fries from falling. The inner door panel can also rotate around the shaft, so that the mesh plate on the upper layer of the conveyor belt can push the inner door panel open, which is practical.

[0008] Preferably, it also includes multiple corner plates, which are installed on the feeding trough. Multiple mesh plates are elastically installed on the outer surface of the conveyor belt, and the multiple corner plates block the ends of the mesh plates. As the multiple mesh plates push the French fries upward along the feeding trough, they will pass through the multiple corner plates in sequence, causing the ends of the multiple mesh plates to jump, thereby vibrating and turning the French fries, making the French fries more evenly coated with batter.

[0009] Preferably, it also includes a receiving box and a screen. The receiving box is installed below the discharge end of the feeding trough, and the screen is installed on the receiving box. When the French fries are discharged from the discharge end of the feeding trough, they fall onto the screen, and the excess slurry on the French fries is shaken off and falls into the receiving box through the screen, thus improving the slurry quality.

[0010] Preferably, it also includes multiple springs, and the screen is elastically mounted on the receiving box by multiple springs; by installing multiple springs, the screen has a certain buffering effect to avoid excessive damage to the French fries.

[0011] Preferably, it also includes a second return pipe, the input end of which extends into the receiving box, and the output end of which is connected to the input end of the multi-way valve group; the slurry collected in the receiving box is returned to the multi-way valve group and the slurry pump through the second return pipe for recycling, thereby reducing slurry waste.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: During operation, the spraying mechanism conveys the slurry to the discharge end of the feeding trough, so that the slurry flows from the discharge end along the feeding trough to the inlet end. The conveyor belt is driven by the drive motor to rotate, and the conveyor belt drives multiple mesh plates to rotate. French fries are fed into the inlet end of the feeding trough through the feeding hopper. Multiple mesh plates located in the lower layer push the French fries to the discharge end of the feeding trough. During the pushing process, the French fries are in full contact with the slurry and are evenly coated with slurry. The coated French fries are discharged through the discharge end of the feeding trough. Compared with the prior art, the slurry will not pass through the conveyor belt, avoiding a large amount of slurry adhering to the conveyor belt and multiple mesh plates, reducing slurry waste, and reducing pollution caused by slurry residue on the conveyor belt. It has good practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0015] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. This utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of this utility model more thorough and complete. Example 1

[0016] like Figures 1 to 4 and Figure 6 As shown, a French fry coating device includes a conveyor belt 1; it also includes multiple mesh plates 2, a feeding trough 3, a frame 4, a feeding hopper 5, and a spraying mechanism. The multiple mesh plates 2 are evenly installed on the outer surface of the conveyor belt 1. The conveyor belt 1 is mounted above the feeding trough 3 via the frame 4. The feeding trough 3 and the conveyor belt 1 are inclined and parallel. The lower end of the feeding trough 3 is the feeding end, and the feeding hopper 5 is installed on the feeding end of the feeding trough 3. The upper end of the feeding trough 3 is the discharging end. The ends of the multiple mesh plates 2 scrape against the feeding trough 3. The spraying mechanism conveys the slurry to the discharging end of the feeding trough 3, making the slurry flow direction opposite to the French fry conveying direction. The spraying mechanism includes a slurry pump 6, a multi-way valve group 7, a return pipe 8, a slurry delivery pipe 9, and multiple spraying heads 10. The inlet of 6 is connected to the output end of the multi-way valve group 7. The input end of the return pipe 8 is connected to the feed end of the feeding trough 3. The output end of the return pipe 8 is connected to one input end of the multi-way valve group 7. The input end of the slurry pipe 9 is connected to the output end of the slurry pump 6. Multiple slurry nozzles 10 are installed at the output end of the slurry pipe 9. All multiple slurry nozzles 10 face the discharge end of the feeding trough 3. It also includes a shaft 12 and an inner door plate 13. The feed hopper 5 is provided with a clearance opening to avoid the conveyor belt 1 and the mesh plate 2. The upper end of the inner door plate 13 is hinged to the clearance opening of the feed hopper 5 through the shaft 12. It also includes multiple corner plates 14. Multiple corner plates 14 are installed on the feeding trough 3. Multiple mesh plates 2 are elastically installed on the outer surface of the conveyor belt 1. Multiple corner plates 14 block the ends of the mesh plates 2.

[0017] During operation, the other input end of the multi-way valve group 7 is connected to an external pulping system. The pulp pump 6 operates, and the multi-way valve group 7 switches to allow the pulp to be conveyed through the pulp delivery pipe 9 and sprayed onto the feeding trough 3 via the spray nozzle 10. The pulp in the feeding end of the feeding trough 3 is extracted through the return pipe 8 and returned through the multi-way valve group 7, achieving pulp recycling. Slurry is replenished through the other input end, causing the pulp to flow from the discharge end along the feeding trough 3 towards the feed end. The multi-way valve group 7 adjusts the opening degree of the return pipe 8 according to the pulp depth, thus maintaining a suitable and stable pulp depth in the feeding end of the feeding trough 3. The conveyor belt 1 is driven by a drive motor, rotating multiple mesh plates 2. French fries are fed into the feeding end of the feeding trough 3 through the feed hopper 5. The inner door panel 13 can block and guide the French fries fed into the feed hopper 5, reducing the amount of French fries falling. Furthermore, the inner door panel 13 can rotate around the shaft 12, allowing the upper mesh plate 2 of the conveyor belt 1 to push the inner door panel 13 open, thus improving its practicality. Multiple mesh plates 2 located on the lower layer push the French fries towards the discharge end of the feeding trough 3. As the multiple mesh plates 2 push the French fries upward along the feeding trough 3, they pass through multiple corner plates 14 in sequence, causing the ends of the multiple mesh plates 2 to jump, thereby vibrating and turning the French fries, so that the French fries are fully in contact with the slurry and are evenly coated with slurry. The coated French fries are discharged through the discharge end of the feeding trough 3. Compared with the existing technology, the slurry will not pass through the conveyor belt 1, avoiding a large amount of slurry adhering to the conveyor belt 1 and multiple mesh plates 2, reducing slurry waste, and reducing the pollution caused by the slurry residue on the conveyor belt 1. It has good practicality. Example 2

It also includes a second return pipe 18, the input end of which extends into the receiving box 15, and the output end of the second return pipe 18 is connected to the input end of the multi-way valve group 7.

[0019] When the French fries are discharged from the outlet end of the feeding trough 3, they fall onto the screen 16. Excess slurry on the French fries is shaken off and falls through the screen 16 into the receiving box 15. By installing multiple springs 17, the screen 16 has a certain buffering effect, which avoids excessive damage to the French fries and improves the slurry quality. The slurry collected in the receiving box 15 is returned to the multi-way valve group 7 and the slurry pump 6 through the return pipe 18 for recycling and to reduce slurry waste.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, this utility model discloses a French fry coating device. During operation, the slurry pump 6 first runs, and the multi-way valve group 7 switches to allow slurry to be transported through the slurry delivery pipe 9 and sprayed onto the feeding trough 3 through the spray nozzle 10. This causes the slurry to flow from the outlet end along the feeding trough 3 towards the inlet end. The slurry is then extracted from the inlet end of the feeding trough 3 through the return pipe 8 and returned through the multi-way valve group 7. Next, the conveyor belt 1 is driven by a drive motor to rotate, causing multiple mesh plates 2 to rotate. French fries are fed into the inlet end of the feeding trough 3 through the feed hopper 5. The multiple mesh plates 2 located at the lower layer guide the French fries towards the outlet end of the feeding trough 3. The material is pushed from the end, and during the pushing process, multiple mesh plates 2 pass through multiple corner plates 14 in sequence, causing the ends of the multiple mesh plates 2 to jump, thereby vibrating and turning the French fries, so that the French fries are fully in contact with the slurry and evenly coated. The coated French fries are discharged through the discharge end of the feeding trough 3. Finally, after the French fries exit the discharge end of the feeding trough 3, they fall onto the screen 16. Excess slurry on the French fries is shaken off and falls through the screen 16 into the receiving box 15. The slurry collected in the receiving box 15 is transported back to the multi-way valve group 7 and the slurry pump 6 through the return pipe 2 18 for recycling.
