Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a frying machine, and more particularly to a frying machine that includes an integral refiner. [Background technology]

[0002] Deep frying is a widely used method of cooking food, regardless of region. Deep-fried foods, which are made by coating various ingredients in batter and deep frying them, can be prepared on a small scale at home, but due to popular demand, they are often prepared in large quantities at various restaurants. When cooking large quantities of fried food, fryers are commonly used, which have an oil tank, contain cooking oil, heat it with a heater, and repeatedly cook the fried food.

[0003] When cooking fried foods using a fryer, the same oil is used multiple times to fry the food, but since the freshness of the fried food and the amount of foreign matter contained in it directly affect the taste of the food, if the oil is used for frying more than a certain number of times, consumer satisfaction with the food sold may decrease significantly. However, if the edible oil is used too few times, the cost of producing the food increases and it becomes impossible to secure a margin. Therefore, a refiner separate from the fryer has been invented to purify oil that has been used more than a certain number of times using refining paper to remove foreign matter and to prevent deterioration of the taste of fried foods as much as possible while increasing the number of times the edible oil is used.

[0004] However, since conventional refiners are installed separately from the fryer, it is difficult to secure cooking space. Even when the oil is formally served with the fryer, when the oil discharged into the refiner reaches its usage limit and needs to be disposed of, the operation is not simple. In addition, the discarded waste oil is highly contaminated, making it difficult to dispose of. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and its object is to provide a frying device with an integrated refiner that is equipped with an integrated refiner and that allows oil that has been used a certain number of times or more through a fryer to be conveniently refined and reused, thereby allowing fried foods to be cooked with high-quality oil from which foreign matter has been removed.

[0006] Another object of the present invention to solve the above problems is to provide a frying device with an integrated refiner that can easily redirect the discharge path of the oil refined through the refiner to either supply it back to the oil tank or discharge the waste oil, thereby disposing of relatively less polluted waste oil and reducing the time the waste oil remains in the refiner.

[0007] However, the problem to be solved by the present invention is not limited thereto, and can be variously expanded without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. [Means for solving the problem]

[0014] In one aspect, the refinery joint 430 may be disposed at a position higher than the height of the refiner 200's upper limit of the amount of oil that can be used.

[0015] According to one aspect, the refiner 200 is configured to be movable based on a plurality of casters 210 provided on the bottom surface of the refiner 200, and the refinement fastening portion 430 can be inserted into or removed from the refiner housing portion with the first refined oil supply pipe 420 and the second refined oil supply pipe 440 separated.

[0016] According to one aspect, the oil tank 100 may have a supply slope 120 inclined at a predetermined angle toward the bottom of the oil tank 100 at the upper portion of at least one side of the inner surface, and a refined oil supply port 490 through which refined oil from the tank supply pipe 480 is discharged may be formed at the bottom of the supply slope 120.

[0017] According to one aspect, the oil tank 100 may include a supply port cover formed on the upper part of the refined oil supply port 490 to cover the refined oil supply port 490 and prevent the refined oil supplied from the tank supply pipe 480 from flowing out of the oil tank 100, and having a cover slit 111 formed to face downwardly of the supply slope 120 and guide the refined oil to flow into the oil tank 100. Effect of the Invention

[0018] The disclosed technology may have the following effects. However, this does not mean that a specific embodiment should include all of the following effects or should include only the following effects, and therefore the scope of the disclosed technology should not be understood as being limited thereby.

[0019] According to the above-described embodiment of the present invention, the refiner-integrated frying device is provided integrally with the refiner, and oil that has been used a certain number of times through the fryer can be conveniently refined and reused, thereby allowing fried foods to be cooked with high-quality oil from which foreign matter has been removed.

[0020] Additionally, the discharge path of the oil refined through the refiner can be easily redirected to either return it to the oil tank or allow the discharge of waste oil, allowing for the disposal of less polluted waste oil and reducing the time the waste oil remains in the refiner.

[0021] Therefore, foreign matter trapped in the refiner can be removed more quickly, and the used oil retaining portion inside the refiner can be kept clean, so that the service life of the refiner can be extended. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0030] As described above, the conventional refiners are installed separately from the fryer, which makes it difficult to secure cooking space. Even if the refiner is used together with the fryer, when the oil discharged into the refiner reaches its usage limit and needs to be disposed of, the operation is not simple and the disposed waste oil is difficult to dispose of because it is overly contaminated.

[0031] The present invention is intended to solve these problems. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a refiner is integrated into a fryer, and oil that has been used a certain number of times can be conveniently refined and reused, allowing fried foods to be cooked with high-quality oil from which foreign matter has been removed.

[0032] In addition, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the discharge path of the oil refined through the refiner can be easily redirected to either return it to the oil tank or allow the discharge of waste oil, thereby disposing of relatively less polluted waste oil and reducing the time that waste oil remains in the refiner.

[0033] Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a frying device with an integrated refiner according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 1, a frying device with an integrated refiner 1000 according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a main housing 10, an oil tank 100, and a refiner 200. Waste oil discharged from the frying device 1000 through a waste oil outlet 510 can be collected in a waste oil collection container 30, making it easy to dispose of the waste oil.

[0034] The main body housing 10 is configured to surround the components of the frying device 1000 according to one embodiment of the present invention, and may include an oil tank 100 at its upper end and a refiner housing for housing the refiner 200 at the bottom of the oil tank 100. The refiner 200 can be inserted into the refiner housing of the main body housing 10 and removed for cleaning or replacement of refinery paper.

[0035] For example, the main housing 10 may have side covers on both sides and may include a front cover and a rear cover. The ejection lever 320 and the supply / ejection selection lever 470 described later in this description may extend toward the front side by their respective shafts and may be disposed outside the front cover of the main housing 10.

[0036] A control panel 40 may be provided on, for example, the front portion of the main housing 10 to control the operation of the fryer for deep-frying, such as adjusting the heating temperature and adjusting the exhaust air. The control panel 40 may be connected to a computing device such as a microcomputer (MICOM), so that the computing device may control each component of the frying apparatus 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0037] According to one aspect of the present invention, the main housing 10 can be provided with a purifier cover 20. The purifier cover 20 can be formed in an area corresponding to the purifier accommodating section on the front side of the main housing 10, and can be configured to be openable and closable by operating a purifier cover attaching / detaching lever 21. The purifier cover 20 can be opened by operating the purifier cover attaching / detaching lever 21, and when the purifier cover 20 is opened, the entrance of the purifier accommodating section is opened, and the purifier 200 can be inserted and disposed in the purifier accommodating section.

[0038] As shown in FIG. 1, the oil tank 100 may be disposed on the upper surface of the main body housing 10. The oil tank 100 may be configured to store oil for cooking food and to heat the oil using a heater. As shown in FIG. 1, a food support stand may be provided inside the oil tank 100 so that food does not touch the bottom surface of the oil tank 100. The oil stored in the oil tank 100 may be heated using a heater that is disposed in contact with or adjacent to the oil tank 100. Here, the heater for heating the oil tank 100 may be, for example, a gas heater, but is not limited thereto, and any type of heater for heating the oil stored inside the oil tank 100, such as an electric heater or a microwave heater, may be used.

[0039] A supply slope inclined toward the bottom of the oil tank 100 may be provided at an upper portion of one side of the oil tank 100, and a refined oil supply port through which refined oil from the refiner 200 is supplied to the supply slope may be formed. A supply port cover 110 formed to cover the refined oil supply portion may be provided.

[0040] The refiner 200 can be disposed so as to be attachable and detachable in a refiner housing provided in the main housing 10. The refiner 200 can also be configured to remove foreign matter from the used oil discharged from the oil tank 100. The refined oil can be supplied back to the oil tank 100 or discharged via the waste oil discharge port 510 and stored in, for example, the waste oil collection container 30.

[0041] According to one aspect of the invention, such circulation of used and refined oil can be accomplished via piping configured to deliver oil refined by refiner 200 to oil tank 100 or to drain via waste oil outlet 510.

[0042] In relation to this, Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a portion of the configuration for circulating purified oil in a frying device according to one embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 3 is a front view of the configuration in Fig. 2, Fig. 4 is a rear view of the configuration in Fig. 2, Fig. 5 is a left side view of the configuration in Fig. 2, Fig. 6 is a right side view of the configuration in Fig. 2, and Fig. 7 is a bottom view of the configuration in Fig. 2. Hereinafter, the purification circulation configuration of a frying device with an integrated refiner according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to Figs. 2 to 7.

[0043] As shown in FIGS. 2 to 7 , the oil tank 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a used oil outlet 310 , a discharge shaft 330 and a discharge lever 320 .

[0044] More specifically, the used oil outlet 310 may be formed at the lowest end of an inclined surface provided on the bottom surface of the oil tank 100, and configured to discharge the oil used in the oil tank 100 to the refiner 200. In particular, as shown in Figures 3 to 6, the bottom surface of the oil tank 100 may be formed with an inclination to facilitate the discharge of used oil, and the used oil outlet 310 may be formed at the lowest end of such an inclined surface, so that the oil used in the oil tank 100 and foreign matter separated from food may be easily discharged.

[0045] The drainage of the oil held in the oil tank 100 can be initiated by the control of a user of the frying apparatus 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention. For example, the user can open the used oil drain outlet 310 by adjusting the drain lever 320, and when the drainage of the used oil is completed, the user can close the used oil drain outlet 310 by readjusting the drain lever 320 again.

[0046] Here, the discharge lever 320 extends from the discharge shaft 330 to the outside of the front surface of the main housing 10 and can be provided to allow a user of the frying device 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention to open and close the used oil discharge port 310.

[0047] According to one aspect, the oil tank 100 may be configured not to discharge oil when the cooking oil is heated to an excessively high temperature by deep-frying. For this purpose, for example, the oil tank 100 may be provided with a temperature sensor configured to measure the temperature of the oil contained inside the oil tank 100, and at least one of the discharge lever 320 or the used oil discharge port 310 may be provided with a fully automatic locking unit configured to lock the movement for opening the used oil discharge port 310, and for example, a computing device such as a microcomputer (MICOM) may be configured to unlock the fully automatic locking unit only when the temperature measured by the temperature sensor is lower than a predetermined threshold. According to one aspect, the computing device may be configured to output a dischargeable notification display or sound when the temperature of the oil falls below the threshold when a temperature equal to or higher than the threshold is measured.

[0048] According to one aspect of the present invention, the main housing 10 may include a purifier cover 20 that is formed in an area corresponding to the purifier housing on the front surface of the main housing 10 and is configured to be openable and closable by operating a purifier cover attachment / detachment lever 21. Here, the purifier 200 is configured to be movable based on a plurality of casters 210 provided on the bottom surface of the purifier 200, and can be inserted into or removed from the purifier housing with the purifier cover 20 open. Therefore, the user can easily attach and detach the purifier 200 by pushing or pulling the purifier 200 without applying a large force.

[0049] 2 to 7 show the piping section 50 in more detail. As shown in Fig. 2 to 7, the piping section 50 may include a refined oil supply path including a refined oil outlet 410, a first refined oil supply pipe 420, a refined oil fastening section 430, and a second refined oil supply pipe 440. In addition, the piping section 50 may include at least one of a pump 450, a branch pipe 460, a supply / discharge selection lever 470, a tank supply pipe 480, or a waste oil discharge pipe 500.

[0050] As shown in Figures 2 to 7, the refined oil supply path includes a first refined oil supply pipe 420 having an inlet connected to a refined oil outlet 410 provided on the bottom surface of the refiner 200 to receive a supply of refined oil, a second refined oil supply pipe 440 having an outlet connected to the branch pipe 460 to provide refined oil from the first refined oil supply pipe 420 to the branch pipe 460, and a refined oil fastening part 430 that detachably fastens the outlet of the first refined oil supply pipe 420 to the inlet of the second refined oil supply pipe 440.

[0051] More specifically, a refined oil outlet 410 may be provided at the bottom of the refiner 200. The used oil discharged from the oil tank 100 is refined by a selective permeation means, such as refining paper, which is provided at the lower end inside the refiner 200 and filters out particles of a predetermined size or larger. The refined oil may be discharged through the refined oil outlet 410 provided at the bottom of the refiner 200.

[0052] An inlet of the first refined oil supply pipe 420 can be coupled to the refined oil outlet 410 to receive the refined oil discharged from the refiner 200. According to one aspect, as shown in particular detail in FIGS. 5 and 6, the first refined oil supply pipe 420 can extend from the refined oil outlet 410 along the bottom surface of the refiner 200 and bend upward along one side surface of the refiner 200. An outlet of the first refined oil supply pipe 420 can be directed upward while being fastened by at least the refined oil fastening portion 430. The first refined oil supply pipe 420 can also be fixedly disposed on one side surface of the refiner 200 by, for example, a clamp. As shown in FIGS. 2 to 7, according to one aspect, the first refined oil supply pipe 420 is coupled to the refiner 200 and can move together when the refiner 200 is attached to or detached from the refiner housing.

[0053] 5 and 6, the outlet of the second refined oil supply pipe 440 may be connected to a branch pipe 460 via, for example, a pump 450 to supply refined oil from the refiner 200 to the branch pipe 460. That is, according to one aspect, the second refined oil supply pipe 440 may be installed on the oil tank 100 side of the frying device 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and may be provided inside the main body housing 10 regardless of whether the refiner 200 is attached to or detached from the refiner receiving portion.

[0054] The refinery fastening unit 430 may be configured to separably fasten the outlet of the first refined oil supply pipe 420 and the inlet of the second refined oil supply pipe 440. For example, when the refiner 200 is inserted and installed in the refiner housing unit, the refinery fastening unit 430 may fasten the outlet of the first refined oil supply pipe 420 and the inlet of the second refined oil supply pipe 440 to each other so that refined oil from the refiner 200 is supplied to the branch pipe 460 based on the suction force of the pump 450. When it is necessary to remove the refiner 200, the refinery fastening unit 430 may release the fastening between the outlet of the first refined oil supply pipe 420 and the inlet of the second refined oil supply pipe 440 so that the refiner 200 can be removed from the refiner housing unit. For example, according to one aspect, the refiner 200 is configured to be movable based on a plurality of casters 210 provided on the bottom surface of the refiner 200, and the refinery fastening portion 430 can be inserted into or removed from the refiner housing portion with the first refined oil supply pipe 420 and the second refined oil supply pipe 440 separated.

[0055] Meanwhile, according to one aspect of the present invention, the refinery fastening part 430 may be disposed at a position higher than the upper limit height of the used oil that can be accommodated in the refiner 200. That is, even when the used oil discharged from the oil tank 100 is accommodated to the maximum inside the refiner 200, the refinery fastening part 430 may be configured to be disposed higher than the upper surface of the oil inside the refiner 200. Therefore, the pressure applied to the refinery fastening part 430 by the used oil inside the refiner 200 can be minimized, the oil leakage can be more reliably prevented, and the service life of the refinery fastening part 430 can be extended.

[0056] For example, a seal may be disposed inside the refinery fastener 430 to prevent oil leakage, and the fastening method of the refinery fastener 430 may adopt at least one of conventional fastening methods, such as a screw method or a push-pull method.

[0057] 2 to 7, refined oil from refiner 200 supplied via the refined oil supply path can be supplied to branch pipe 460 based on the pumping pressure of pump 450. Branch pipe 460 can be, for example, a T-shaped pipe as specifically shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, but any branch pipe for branching the flow of refined oil from the refined oil supply path into at least two or more branches, such as a Y-shaped pipe, can be used.

[0058] The branch pipe 460 may be configured to receive refined oil from the refiner 200 via the refined oil supply path and provide the refined oil to either the tank supply pipe 480 or the waste oil discharge pipe 500. According to one aspect of the present invention, the branch pipe 460 may provide the refined oil from the refiner 200 to the tank supply pipe 480 to supply the refined oil to the oil tank 100. Alternatively, the branch pipe 460 may provide the refined oil from the refiner 200 to the waste oil discharge pipe 500 to discharge it via the waste oil discharge port 510.

[0059] Therefore, the frying device 1000 according to one aspect of the present invention can deep fry food ingredients using refined, clean oil, and even when used oil must be discarded after exceeding the number of times it can be used repeatedly, it can be discarded after being primarily refined, which not only simplifies the disposal of waste oil but also minimizes the storage time of waste oil in the refiner 200, thereby improving the hygiene inside the refiner 200 and preventing internal corrosion, thereby extending the service life of the refiner 200.

[0060] Meanwhile, a user of the frying apparatus 1000 according to one aspect of the present invention can select the flow path of the refined oil by controlling the supply / discharge selection lever 470. That is, the supply / discharge selection lever 470 can be provided to extend to the front exterior of the main body housing 10 based on the branch shaft 465 and to switch the supply path of the branch pipe 460. Depending on the position of the supply / discharge selection lever 470, the flow of the refined oil in the branch pipe 460 can be switched to either the tank supply pipe 480 or the waste oil discharge pipe 500.

[0061] The tank supply pipe 480 can supply refined oil from the branch pipe 460 to the oil tank 100 via a refined oil supply port 490 provided in the oil tank 100, and the waste oil discharge pipe 500 can be configured to discharge the refined oil from the branch pipe 460 via a waste oil discharge port 510.

[0062] Fig. 8 is an exemplary view of a supply port cover and a supply slope of an oil tank according to one aspect of the present invention, and Fig. 9 is a detailed view of the supply port cover of Fig. 8. As shown in Figs. 2, 8 and 9, according to one aspect of the present invention, the oil tank 100 includes a supply slope 120 inclined at a predetermined angle toward the bottom surface of the oil tank 100 at an upper end of at least one side of the inner surface of the oil tank 100, and a refined oil supply port 490 through which refined oil from a tank supply pipe 480 is discharged may be formed at the bottom surface of the supply slope 120.

[0063] According to one aspect of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the oil tank 100 may include a supply port cover 110 formed on the top of the refined oil supply port 490 to cover the refined oil supply port 490 and prevent the refined oil supplied from the tank supply pipe 480 from flowing out of the oil tank 100. The refined oil discharged from the refined oil supply port 490 may have a somewhat high pressure or a high flow rate due to the suction force of the pump 450. The supply port cover 110 can prevent the refined oil discharged from the refined oil supply port 490 from scattering to other places that are not suitable oil storage spaces of the oil tank 100, thereby contaminating the device or preventing the risk of the operator being burned. The refined oil discharged from the refined oil supply port 490 hits the inner surface of the supply port cover 110 and flows down along the inclination of the supply slope 120.

[0064] 9, the supply port cover 110 may be provided with a cover slit 111 that is formed toward the downward direction of the supply slope 120 of the supply port cover 110 and guides the refined oil discharged from the refined oil supply port 490 to flow toward the bottom surface of the oil tank 100. The refined oil discharged from the refined oil supply port 490 and hitting the inner surface of the supply port cover 110 flows down along the slope of the supply slope 120, is discharged to the outside of the supply port cover 110 through the cover slit 111, and then flows down along the slope of the supply slope 120 to be supplied toward the bottom surface of the oil tank 100.

[0065] Fig. 10 is a perspective view of a purifier according to one aspect of the present invention, and Fig. 11 is a partially exploded view of the purifier of Fig. 10. As shown in Fig. 10 and Fig. 11, a plurality of casters 210 are provided on the bottom surface of the purifier 200 to facilitate movement of the purifier 200.

[0066] Meanwhile, as shown in Figures 10 and 11, a selective permeable structure, such as filter paper 220, which allows oil to pass but does not allow impurities mixed in the oil or food by-products to pass, may be disposed at the bottom of the inside of the purifier 200. As shown in Figure 11, a filter paper support net 250 may be provided at the top of the bottom surface of the purifier 200 to prevent the filter paper 220 from directly contacting the bottom surface of the inside of the purifier 200. This allows the refined oil that has passed through the filter paper 220 to be more easily discharged from the purifier 200 through the refined oil outlet 410.

[0067] 10 and 11, when the filter paper 220 is placed on the filter paper support net 250, a filter paper pressing metal fitting 230 configured to press, for example, the outer periphery of the edge of the filter paper 220 is provided on the upper part of the filter paper 220, so that the filter paper 220 can be prevented from moving. At least one side of the filter paper pressing metal fitting 230 may be provided with a handle part 233 rotatably coupled to the filter paper pressing metal fitting 230 by a hinge part 231, and at least one side of the inner surface of the refiner 200 may be provided with a pressing metal fitting hook 240 to which an upper part of the handle part 233 may be fitted and fixed. When the filter paper pressing metal fitting 230 is in a state where the filter paper is appropriately pressed, the handle part 233 is rotated and moved toward the inner surface of the refiner 200, so that the upper part of the handle part 233 is fitted into the pressing metal fitting hook 240, and the filter paper pressing metal fitting 230 can be fixed and installed.
