Technical Field

[0001] This utility model discloses a deep fryer, and more particularly relates to an automatic deep fryer for processing tofu skin. Background Technology

[0002] Deep fryers are industrial equipment that use electricity, natural gas, oil, or biofuel as energy to process food through high-temperature frying. They are mainly used in food shaping, puffing, dehydration, and cooking processes, and are used in various settings such as restaurants, food processing enterprises, and large production lines. Their core structure includes heating components, an oil tank, a conveying system, and an intelligent control system.

[0003] In the existing technology, such equipment is often used in the processing of tofu skin. The tofu skin is cut into small, uniform pieces, then manually placed into an oil tank, and deep-fried at high temperature. The tofu skin is then manually rolled and shaped, and finally left to cool. At the same time, excess oil drips off and separates from the tofu skin, which is then packaged. However, manually cutting and deep-frying the tofu skin and then rolling it up is quite troublesome and inconvenient. Therefore, a new solution is proposed to achieve automatic deep-frying and rolling, which is more convenient and faster. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic frying machine for processing tofu skin in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic frying machine for processing tofu skin, comprising a main body, an input port for placing tofu skin at the machine opening, a conveyor belt connected to the input port, a cutting blade for cutting the tofu skin at the input port, an oil tank for frying the tofu skin at one end of the conveyor belt away from the input port, an adsorption element for adsorbing the tofu skin and driving it into the oil tank at the upper end of the conveyor belt, a cylinder for controlling the movement of the adsorption element in the main body, a drive assembly for driving the tofu skin to move laterally along the oil tank at the upper end of the conveyor belt, a winding element for receiving and winding the tofu skin at one end of the oil tank away from the input port, and a conveyor belt for receiving and conveying the tofu skin outside the main body.

[0006] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a motor installed inside the main body of the equipment, with the motor located at the upper end of the oil tank. A toothed gear is engaged on the shaft of the motor, and a rack that meshes with the toothed gear is slidably connected to the main body of the equipment. A fixing block is fixedly installed at the lower end of the rack, and the fixing block is provided with an abutment rod that is embedded in the oil tank and drags the corroded skin to move.

[0007] Preferably, the abutment rod is slidably connected to the fixing block, and the main body of the equipment is provided with a push block for pushing the abutment rod to move down and embed into the oil tank. The abutment rod is provided with a slot to accommodate the insertion of the push block, and the abutment rod is provided with an abutment part that fits against the push block at the lower end of the slot.

[0008] Preferably, the contact surface between the abutting part and the push block is an arc surface, and the slot and the push block are offset vertically. The fixing block is provided with a spring for pushing the abutting rod to reset.

[0009] Preferably, the winding component includes a rotating rod at the end of the oil tank, and the main body of the equipment is equipped with a second motor that drives the rotating rod to rotate. The rotating rod is equipped with a second cylinder on its side for pushing the rotten skin after winding.

[0010] Preferably, the main body of the equipment is provided with a receiving net for receiving rotten skin, and an oil receiving box is provided at the bottom of the receiving net.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: Using this device, the tofu skin, which is processed for frying, first enters through the inlet and is conveyed forward by the conveyor belt. When it approaches the bottom of the adsorption unit, the cutter cuts it off. The adsorption unit then adsorbs the cut tofu skin. Then, cylinder one moves the adsorption unit and the tofu skin, causing the tofu skin to move to the upper end of the oil tank. The negative pressure of the adsorption unit is released, and the tofu skin detaches from the adsorption and falls into the oil tank. At the same time, the drive component moves the tofu skin to the end of the oil tank during the frying process. Then, it adheres to the rotating rod. The rotating rod rotates the tofu skin and rolls it up. After the tofu skin is rolled up, cylinder two pushes it out onto the receiving net to dry in the oil, so that the oil drips into the oil collection box for recycling. Finally, it moves onto the transmission belt through the receiving net for automatic conveying. Attached Figure Description

[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0015] An automatic frying machine for processing tofu skin, such as Figures 1-3As shown, the device includes a main body 1. The main body 1 has an input port 2 at its opening for placing tofu skin. A conveyor belt 3 is connected to the input port 2, and a cutting blade 4 is installed at the input port 2 for cutting the tofu skin. An oil tank 5 for frying the tofu skin is located at one end of the conveyor belt 3 away from the input port 2. An adsorption element 6 is installed at the upper end of the conveyor belt 3 to absorb and carry the tofu skin into the oil tank 5. The main body 1 has a cylinder 7 for controlling the movement of the adsorption element 6. Using this device, unfried tofu skin is first placed into the input port 2, and then conveyed by the conveyor belt 3 to the bottom of the adsorption element 6. When the sensor detects that the tofu skin has reached the bottom of the adsorption element 6, it outputs a signal to the controller to control the cutting blade 4 to move downwards and cut the tofu skin. Then, the cylinder at the upper end of the adsorption element 6 drives the adsorption element 6 to move downwards and absorb the tofu skin. The suction unit 6, under negative pressure, adheres to the tofu skin and sucks it up. Then, cylinder 7 is activated, controlling the entire suction unit 6 and the cylinder on it to move laterally, moving the tofu skin to the upper part of the oil tank 5. Then, the negative pressure of the suction unit 6 is released, and the tofu skin falls into the oil tank 5. The bottom of the oil tank 5 is heated by a heating rod or heating wire, and the oil inside boils, thus frying the tofu skin. This setting can automatically achieve cutting and feeding for frying. In addition, motor 21, cylinder 7, and suction unit 6 and the cylinder on it are sensed by sensors and output signals to the controller. These devices are controlled sequentially. The automatic start-up is set by the PLC program or by the delay device according to the time set in advance for each step. This is existing technology and will not be discussed here.

[0016] The upper end of the oil conveying tank 5 is equipped with a drive assembly for driving the corkage to move laterally along the oil tank 5. The drive assembly includes a motor 21 installed inside the main body 1, and the motor 21 is located at the upper end of the oil tank 5. A toothed gear 9 is engaged on the shaft of the motor 21. A rack 10 that meshes with the toothed gear 9 is slidably connected to the main body 1. A fixing block 11 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the rack 10. The fixing block 11 is equipped with an abutment rod 12 that is embedded in the oil tank 5 and drags the corkage to move. The abutment rod 12 is slidably connected to the fixing block 11. The main body 1 is equipped with a push block 13 for pushing the abutment rod 12 downward to embed into the oil tank 5. The abutment rod 12 is equipped with a slot 14 for accommodating the insertion of the push block 13. The lower end of the abutment rod 12 located in the slot 14 is equipped with an abutment that fits against the push block 13. The contact part 15 and the contact surface of the push block 13 are arc-shaped, and the slot 14 and the push block 13 are vertically offset. After the corroded skin is put into the oil tank 5, the second sensor at the upper end of the oil tank 5 senses that the adsorption component 6 has entered, and controls the motor 21 to turn on, so that the toothed gear 9 rotates. The rotation of the toothed gear 9 pushes the meshing rack 10 forward. At the same time, when it moves forward, it drives the fixed block 11 and the contact rod 12 to move synchronously. When the contact rod 12 moves, the contact part 15 on the contact rod 12 will abut against the push block 13. Since the push block 13 is fixed and cannot move, the contact rod 12 can also move laterally. When the contact rod 12 is driven to move laterally, the push block 13 pushes the contact part 15 of the contact rod 12 downward along the arc surface of the mutual contact. As a result, the abutment rod 12 slides downward along the fixed block 11 and compresses the internal spring 16. The slot 14 and push block 13 move from a misaligned state to a higher position, and the push block 13 embeds into the slot 14. This causes the abutment rod 12 to move downward and embed into the oil tank 5, pressing a portion of the corrosive skin downward. Except for the pressed portion, the rest of the corrosive skin floats upward. In this state, the abutment rod 12 is driven to move laterally, thus moving the entire corrosive skin to the end of the oil tank 5. At the end of the oil tank 5 away from the inlet 2, there is a winding component for receiving and winding the corrosive skin. The main body 1 is equipped with a conveyor belt 8 for receiving and transporting the corrosive skin. The winding component includes a rotating rod 17 located at the end of the oil tank 5. The main body 1 contains a drive mechanism to rotate the rotating rod 17. The rotating rod 17 has a second motor 22, and a cylinder 20 is provided on the side of the rotating rod 17 to push the wound corroded skin. The fixed block 11 has a spring 16 to push the abutment rod 12 back to its original position. The main body 1 of the equipment has a receiving net 18 for receiving the corroded skin. The bottom of the receiving net 18 has an oil receiving box 19. When the abutment rod 12 moves to the end of the oil tank 5, a part of the front end of the corroded skin will stick to the rotating rod 17. At the same time, the abutment rod 12 continues to move and will disengage from the push block 13, so that the abutment rod 12 is pushed back to its original position by the spring 16 and moves upward, canceling the squeezing of the corroded skin. At this time, the third sensor at the end senses the abutment rod 12 and controls the motor 22 at the rear end of the rotating rod 17 to start, so that the rotating rod 17 rotates and drives the sticky corroded skin to be wound into a cylindrical shape.Then, cylinder 20 is activated, pushing the rolled-up tofu skin away from the rotating rod 17 and onto the receiving net 18. The moving receiving net 18 then moves it to the conveyor belt 8 for transport. During this movement, the receiving net 18 helps to cool the oil, and excess oil drips into the oil collection box 19 for unified collection, avoiding waste. This setup achieves automatic cutting, frying, rolling, and final conveying, which is convenient, fast, saves labor costs, and improves production efficiency. Additionally, a spin-drying bucket can be added while the tofu skin is being conveyed by the receiving net 18. By placing the rolled tofu skin into the bucket and rotating it, the oil on the tofu skin is spun out, reducing oil retention. This feature can be added as an additional component.

[0017] Finally, after the abutment rod 12 stops moving upward, spring 16 pushes the abutment roller to reset, and then the toothed gear 9 stops meshing. At this time, spring 2, which is disconnected from the toothed rack 10 between the rack and the main body 1, pushes the rack 10 to reset and move backward again, so that the abutment rod 12 is pushed downward again by the push block 13. After continuously moving and resetting, it moves upward again after being blocked by the push block 13, waiting for new scale to enter, and then moves downward again, thus repeating the process to achieve the effect of automatic processing.
