Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention relates to a device for removing fried scum generated in a fat pan, and in particular, uses a conveying section bar installed in the fat pan to remove fried food from one side of the fat pan. This invention relates to a fried slag removing device for a fryer that dredges and removes settling sludge during operation in a fryer that fries while feeding a predetermined number of fried slags in a line toward the other side.

"Prior Art" Generally, this type of fryer is used for frying confectionery such as bread. It is well known that when sweets and the like are fried using this fryer, fried scum is produced in the fat pan.

``Problems to be solved by the invention'' However, the current situation is that conventional fryers are not equipped with any means for removing the fried dregs. If you continue to fry sweets, etc. without removing the fried scum inside the fat pan, the fat pan will be heated by the burner, which will greatly accelerate the oxidation and deterioration of the fat and oil, and the fried scum that has adhered to the bottom of the fat pan will be removed. When carbonized, the fried slag not only cannot be easily removed, but also impairs heat transfer and corrodes the fat pan, making it unusable, resulting in poor durability and undesirable hygiene. For this reason, conventionally, after the frying operation of sweets and the like is completed, the edible oil, so-called fat, in the fat pan is drained, and then the inside of the fat pan is cleaned by hand to remove the fried scum from inside the fat pan. Therefore, removing such slag requires a lot of labor and time, shortens operating time, and makes maintenance extremely complicated.

Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the present invention has been developed to automatically remove the fried slag during frying operations, thereby eliminating the need to rely on manual labor, which requires a lot of effort and time, to remove the fried slag. In addition, it does not cause fried slag to remain in the cooking oil for a long time and cause the cooking oil to deteriorate.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a fryer slag removal device that can simplify maintenance management.

"Means and effects for solving the problem" The present invention has been made to achieve the above object, and involves frying while pushing and feeding fried foods floating in heated oil in a fat pan with a conveyor section bar. In the fryer, when the conveying section bar returns along the bottom of the fat pan after frying the fried food, the dredging bar dredges the bottom of the fat pan and collects the fried slag that settles into a pit for collecting fried scum. This is what I did.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a fryer slag removing device according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, 1 is a frame, 2 is a carry-in conveyor, 3 is a burner, and 4 is a fat pan. As shown in FIG. 2, the carry-in conveyor 2 carries a plurality of sweets A such as breads on a sheet-like canvas 6 with a feeding bar 5 attached to one side, and separates the canvas from the separating section 7. 6 is dropped downward, and only the confectionery A is carried into the fat pan 4 by a second carry-in conveyor 8 such as a net conveyor. Fat pan 4
Edible oil is injected into the container to a predetermined level B. A pair of left and right sprockets 9 and 10 are pivotally supported in the fat pan 4 at the start end and rear end of the conveyance, respectively, and a chain 11 is wound between each sprocket 9 and 10, respectively. Each chain 11 has each sprocket 9,1
It is designed to be supported by guide rails 12 and 13 provided between the two and rotate. Upper guide rail 1
2 is attached to the side wall of the fat pan 4 by a fitting 14, and is attached to the lower guide rail 13.
is attached to the bottom wall of the fat pan 4 via a fitting or directly. Each chain 1
A conveyance section bar 15 is installed between the conveyance section bars 1 and 11 at an appropriate interval in the direction of conveyance of the confectionery A, that is, the direction of rotation. A dredging bar 16 is attached to each conveying section bar 15. That is, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, hanging rings 17 are fixed to both ends of the dredging bar 16, and the conveying section bar 15 is loosely fitted onto the hanging rings 17.
The dredging bar 16 has a height corresponding to the distance between the conveying section bar 15 at the return position and the bottom of the fat pan so that the bottom of the fat pan 4 can be dredged. Further, a pit 18 is formed on the loading side of the fat pan 44 and positioned below the sprocket 9. A delivery conveyor 19 is disposed within the pit 18, extending from one side of the pit 18 to the outside via the other side.
The discharge conveyor 19 has a pair of left and right chains 22, 22 that are wound around sprockets 20, 21 and guided by a guide wheel 23, and a scraper blade 24 that scrapes the bottom of the pit 18 is installed between the chains 22, 22. They are constructed at appropriate intervals. A chain 22 protruding outward from the other side of the pit 18,
22 and the scraper blade 24 are surrounded by a discharge case 25. The lower end of the discharge case 25 is communicated with one side of the pit 18. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the discharge conveyor 19 is operated by rotating a handle 26 by hand by an operator or by a motor. The sprocket 20 in the pit 18 is pivotally supported by a bracket 27, and the other sprocket 21 is pivotally supported by a discharge case 25. A discharge port 2 is provided at the tip of the discharge case 25.
8 is formed. Further, inside the fat pan 4, a pedestal 29 made of punching metal or the like is disposed on the side of the input section to receive the loaded confectionery A, and a pedestal 29 made of punching metal or the like is provided near the center and is capable of intermittent rotation for inverting the confectionery A. A reversing blade 30 is provided. The fat pan 4 is connected to the rear end of the chain 11 and is provided with an output conveyor 31 such as a net conveyor. The rear end of the carry-out conveyor 31 faces the discharge port 32.

Incidentally, the pit 18 is formed at a position where it will not be directly hit by the flame of the burner 3. Further, in FIG. 1, 33 is a pedestal for receiving the recovered canvas 6, 34 is a gas pipe connecting the burner 3 and the gas supply valve, and 35 is an auxiliary conveyor. Furthermore, in FIG. 3, 36 is a combustion section, and 37 is a flue.

In the above configuration, first, the operation of the fryer for frying sweets A will be explained. When the sweets A placed in rows on the canvas 6 are sent from the auxiliary conveyor 35 to the input conveyor 2, the separating section 7 Then, only the canvas 6 is collected on the pedestal 33, and the confectionery A to be fried is thrown into the cooking oil of the fat pan 4 by the second feeding conveyor 8. At this time, some items require time to float to the level B position after injection. Since it would be inconvenient to transport the fat pans in rows using the transport section bar 15 (to be described later), they are received on the pedestal 29, and as the chain 11 rotates, the transport section bar 15 transports the fat pans in rows in a predetermined number of rows. Fry while feeding, and flip the blade halfway through
Invert confectionery A with . Transport section bar 1
At step 5, the confectionery A that has been conveyed while floating on the edible oil in the fat pan 4 is discharged from the discharge port 32 via the discharge conveyor 31.

On the other hand, the dredging bar 16 is connected to the conveying section bar 15.
When it is located near level B and is transporting confectionery A, it is only suspended from the transport section bar 15 and does not contribute to the removal of leftovers. When the conveyance section bar 15 is located near the bottom of the fat pan 4 and is moving back, the dredging bar 16 is suspended from the conveyance section bar 15, so that the dredging bar 16 is moved along the inner surface of the bottom wall of the foot pan 4. Moving. As a result, the fried slag generally settles in the edible oil, so it is dredged with a dredging bar 16 and dropped into a pit 18 for storage. When frying confectionery A, a dredging bar 16 constantly dredges fried dregs from the bottom of the fat pan 4 and stores them in a pit 18 as the conveying section bar 15 moves. Then, by turning the handle 26 or driving the motor at an appropriate time, the discharge conveyor 19 rotates, and the scraping blades 24 scrape the slag C that has settled on the bottom wall of the pit 18, and continue to pass through the inside of the discharge case 25. It is discharged to the outside from the discharge port 28.

"Effect of the invention" According to the fried scum removing device for a fryer according to the present invention, the fried food is transported in the upper layer of heated oil in the fat pan by a conveying section bar, and the fried scum that settles inside the fat pan is dredged. , and since the food is fried by being transported only in one direction, the length of the fat pan itself is longer than that of a pan that is folded back in heated oil for frying. Since the process of dredging the fried slag is completely separated and carried out independently, there is no possibility that fried dregs will adhere to the fried food and deteriorate the quality of the product. Also, when frying fried foods,
Since the fried scum that separates from the fried food and settles due to excessive frying is removed, it is possible to fry the fried food with extremely little fried dregs at all times, and the deterioration of cooking oil is also slowed down. Even if the frying pan is heated, the fried residue will not stick to the bottom of the fat pan. Furthermore, even if the bottom of the oil tank is deformed due to heating by the burner, or if the bottom of the oil tank becomes uneven due to some amount of fried slag sticking to the bottom of the oil tank due to long-term use, the conveyor section bar will Since the dredging bar rotates and performs an escaping operation, it is possible to prevent a situation where the dredging bar engages with the bottom of the oil tank and conveyance is stopped, which is extremely convenient in use.
