Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The purpose of the present invention is to facilitate the cleaning and repair of a bucket lifting tube that has a built-in bucket lifting device for supplying flour for a food processing machine that coats fried foods.

Conventional bucket lift tubes are fixed and attached to the side of the machine body, so cleaning the lift device inside the tube is troublesome and cannot be done thoroughly, and it must be removed from the machine body each time it is repaired. There were inconveniences such as necessity.

The present application eliminates such drawbacks, and the bucket elevating tube is rotatably supported on the side of the machine body, and the bucket elevating tube is maintained upright by appropriate locking means to perform the lifting and lowering action of the bucket. This is a characteristic feature.

The structure of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a bucket lift cylinder, which is rotatably supported 4 on support frames 2 and 3 connected to the sides of the machine body at approximately the center of the cylinder. 5 is a locking piece provided near the lower end of the side surface of the cylinder 1;
When the elongated hole drilled in the piece 5 and the screw rod 6 protruding from the outer support frame 3 are engaged and screwed together by the retaining ring 7, the bucket lift tube 1 is maintained and fixed upright.

Reference numeral 8 is a subordinate gear provided on the drive shaft of the bucket conveyor device installed in the tube 1, and a driving gear 9 is provided on the side of the machine body outside the bucket elevating tube and protrudes from the machine body when the tube 1 is upright. It engages and locks. Therefore, from the upright position, the cylinder 1 rotates in only one direction and tilts. Reference numeral 10 denotes a locking rod that is provided across the support frames 2 and 3, and is located below the shaft support 4 to support the tilted cylinder 1.

Since the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, when the machine is operated, by engaging the long hole of the locking piece 5 with the screw rod 6 and screwing the locking ring 7, the cylinder 1 can be maintained in an upright state and the bucket conveyor can be Because the dependent gear 8 provided on the drive shaft meshes with the driving gear 9, flour can be fed without delay, and when the inside of the cylinder needs to be cleaned or repaired, the retaining ring 7 can be removed to remove the shaft support. 4 as a fulcrum, the cylinder 1 is supported by the locking rod 10, and the cylinder 1 is in an inclined state with the upper end being lower than the lower end.

Therefore, since the entire tube 1 is at a low position and in the horizontal direction, it is easier to wash with water than when it is upright.

Since the subordinate gear 8 of the drive shaft of the bucket conveyor is separated from the prime mover gear 9, the bucket can be easily moved by hand, allowing the worker to work in a convenient condition, and also to avoid unexpected damage to the prime mover. It is safe and prevents dangers and accidents caused by operation.

Furthermore, since the upper end of the tube 1 is at the lowest point, water can be drained easily, and the disadvantage of the conventional method in which water remains in the lower part of the tube for a long time is eliminated.

It also facilitates work and prevents danger during repair and maintenance.

As described above, the present invention is a novel invention that allows easy cleaning and repair by rotatably supporting the bucket lift tube.
