[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of donut processing technology, and in particular relates to an oil control device for donut processing. Background Technology

[0002] Donuts are a type of dessert made from a mixture of flour, sugar, cream, and eggs, which is then deep-fried. They can be sprinkled with sugar, drizzled with chocolate sauce, or decorated with icing, sugar sprinkles, etc. Their shape is generally ring-shaped, and the decorations of chocolate sauce, icing, and sugar sprinkles make them quite attractive. Because they use a certain amount of sugar for decoration, they are sweet and are loved by most children.

[0003] In the production of donuts, the dough is usually shaped by deep-frying, resulting in some oil residue on the surface after the donuts are removed from the oil. The oil on the surface of the donuts needs to be drained for subsequent processing. However, the traditional method of natural drying is inefficient. To solve the above problem, there is an urgent need for an oil-drying device for donut processing. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an oil control device for donut processing, which addresses the problem that excess oil on the surface of donuts is slow to drain through natural oil flow after frying.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an oil control device for donut processing, comprising a housing, a conveyor belt on the top surface of the housing, a bracket installed on the top surface of the housing, and a top cover on the top of the housing; a flipping assembly located inside the housing and in the middle of the conveyor belt; and an air jet assembly installed on the top of the housing and above the conveyor belt, with the top cover located on top of the air jet assembly. The jet assembly includes a support frame, on which a movable frame is slidably mounted via an internal slot. Connecting rods are mounted at both ends of the movable frame. A connecting column is rotatably mounted at the top of the support frame. A second gear is mounted at one end of the connecting column, and a reciprocating screw is mounted on one side of the second gear. A rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the support frame via slots on both sides. A mounting block is mounted at one end of the rotating shaft, and a nozzle is mounted at the bottom of the mounting block. An air pipe is mounted at the top of the support frame, and the mounting block is connected to the air pipe via a connecting pipe at the top. A push rod is mounted inside the movable frame.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution: The bottom end of the support frame is fixedly connected to the top surface of the housing. The reciprocating lead screw is connected to the connecting rod through a through hole in the connecting rod, and a slider corresponding to the groove of the reciprocating lead screw is provided in the hole in the connecting rod.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: The mounting block is located in the slot opened within the mounting frame, and push rods are provided on both sides of the mounting block.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: The mounting block has multiple nozzles at its bottom end, arranged in a fan shape, and the nozzles are located on the top surface of the conveyor belt.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: The flipping assembly includes a mounting rod, one end of which is equipped with a motor, and the other end of which is equipped with a first gear, the outer wall of which is provided with a toothed belt.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: The other end of the toothed belt is connected to the second gear, and an installation ring is installed on the outer wall of the mounting rod, and a flap is installed on the outer wall of the mounting ring.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: A limit rod is installed on the outer wall of the mounting ring, and there is a certain angle between the flap and the limit rod.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution: The mounting rod is rotatably connected to the housing through a through hole in the housing.

[0013] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. In this utility model, when conveying fried donuts, the airflow from the nozzle can blow the donuts, causing the oil on the surface of the donuts to flow downwards quickly under the action of the airflow, thus allowing the oil on the surface of the donuts to be dried quickly, which facilitates the next step. Furthermore, the rotation of the reciprocating screw can drive the connecting rod and the moving frame to move, thereby pushing the mounting block and the nozzle to swing through the push rod, thus changing the direction of the airflow, and thus better blowing the oil on the surface of the donuts downwards to separate it from the donuts.

[0014] 2. In this utility model, during the conveying process of the donut, the installation ring and the flip plate can be rotated by the rotation of the installation rod. When the donut moves to a certain position, the flip plate can turn the donut over, thereby turning the donut over so that the bottom surface of the donut can be blown off by the nozzle, thus ensuring that the oil on the surface of the donut can be blown off smoothly.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and 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 protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] In its specific implementation, such as Figures 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution: an oil control device for processing donuts, including a housing 1, a conveyor belt 2 on the top surface of the housing 1, a bracket 5 installed on the top surface of the housing 1, and a top cover 3 at the top of the housing 1; a flipping assembly 4, which is located inside the housing 1 and in the middle of the conveyor belt 2; and an air jet assembly 6, which is installed at the top of the housing 1 and above the conveyor belt 2, with the top cover 3 at the top of the air jet assembly 6. The jet assembly 6 includes a support frame 605, on which a movable frame 606 is slidably mounted via an internal slot. Connecting rods 604 are mounted at both ends of the movable frame 606. A connecting column 603 is rotatably mounted at the top of the support frame 5. A second gear 602 is mounted at one end of the connecting column 603, and a reciprocating screw 601 is mounted on one side of the second gear 602. A rotating shaft 611 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 605 via slots on both sides. A mounting block 607 is mounted at one end of the rotating shaft 611, and a nozzle 610 is mounted at the bottom of the mounting block 607. An air pipe 608 is mounted at the top of the support frame 605. The top is connected to the air pipe 608. A push rod 609 is installed inside the moving frame 606. The bottom end of the support frame 605 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the housing 1. The reciprocating screw 601 is connected to the connecting rod 604 through the through hole in the connecting rod 604. The hole in the connecting rod 604 is provided with a slider corresponding to the groove of the reciprocating screw 601. The mounting block 607 is located in the groove in the mounting frame. Push rods 609 are provided on both sides of the mounting block 607. Multiple nozzles 610 are provided at the bottom of the mounting block 607 and are arranged in a fan shape. The nozzles 610 are located on the top surface of the conveyor belt 2.

[0023] Specifically, when the donuts are fried by the conveyor belt 2, gas can be sent into the nozzle 610 through the air pipe 608 and sprayed out. The gas sprayed by the nozzle 610 blows towards the donuts, causing the oil on their surface to flow downwards at an accelerated speed with the airflow. At the same time, the motor 401 drives the first gear 406 to rotate, which in turn drives the second gear 602 to rotate through the toothed belt 407, which in turn drives the reciprocating screw 601 to rotate. Since the connecting rod 604 is connected to the reciprocating screw 601 through the through hole, and a slider is embedded in the groove on the surface of the reciprocating screw 601, the rotation of the reciprocating screw 601 can drive the connecting rod 604 to move, which in turn drives the moving frame 606 to move. At the same time, since the mounting block 607 is located between the push rods 609, when the moving frame 606 moves, the push rods 609 can push the mounting block 607 to swing around the rotation axis 611, which in turn drives the nozzle 610 to swing. like Figure 3As shown, the flipping assembly 4 includes a mounting rod 402, a motor 401 mounted on one end of the mounting rod 402, a first gear 406 mounted on the other end of the mounting rod 402, a toothed belt 407 provided on the outer wall of the first gear 406, the other end of the toothed belt 407 being connected to a second gear 602, a mounting ring 405 mounted on the outer wall of the mounting rod 402, a flip plate 403 mounted on the outer wall of the mounting ring 405, and a limit rod 404 mounted on the outer wall of the mounting ring 405. The flip plate 403 and the limit rod 404 have a certain included angle. The mounting rod 402 is rotatably connected to the housing 1 through a through hole opened in the housing 1. One end of the motor 401 is fixedly connected to one side of the housing 1. The conveyor belt 2 is strip-shaped and the flip plate 403 is located in the gap of the conveyor belt 2. Specifically, during the conveying process via conveyor belt 2, when the donut moves to the middle position, motor 401 drives mounting rod 402 to rotate, thereby driving mounting ring 405 to rotate. As mounting ring 405 rotates, flip plate 403 rotates. When the donut approaches mounting rod 402, the rotation of flip plate 403 lifts the donut off the surface of conveyor belt 2 and limits it to a certain extent via limit rod 404, thereby causing the donut to flip over and pass over mounting rod 402 to complete the flipping.

[0024] Working principle: When the fried donuts are transported by conveyor belt 2, gas is sent into nozzle 610 through air pipe 608 and sprayed out. The gas sprayed by nozzle 610 blows onto the donuts, causing the oil on their surface to flow downwards at an accelerated speed with the airflow. At the same time, motor 401 drives the first gear 406 to rotate, and the toothed belt 407 drives the second gear 602 to rotate, which in turn drives the reciprocating screw 601 to rotate. When the reciprocating screw 601 rotates, it drives the connecting rod 604 to move, which in turn moves the moving frame 606. Meanwhile, since the mounting block 607 is located between push rods 609, the moving frame 606... When moving, the push rod 609 can push the mounting block 607 to swing around the rotating shaft 611, causing the nozzle 610 to swing. When the donut moves to the middle position, the motor 401 can drive the mounting rod 402 to rotate, which in turn drives the mounting ring 405 to rotate. As the mounting ring 405 rotates, it can drive the flip plate 403 to rotate. When the donut approaches the mounting rod 402, the rotation of the flip plate 403 can lift the donut from the surface of the conveyor belt 2. It can be limited by the limiting rod 404, causing the donut to flip over so that it flips over the mounting rod 402 to complete the flipping.
