Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a continuous oil draining device for continuously performing a draining operation of removing oil from a fryer when seasoning after frying carint or fried oysters with oil.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Carinto is made by forming flour into a linear shape and then frying it with oil. After fried in oil, it is further coated with nectar and dried to give a product.
[0003]
In this case, a fryer is used as the frying device to be used. This flyer is a batch type, in which a material (intermediate product) is placed in a wire mesh cage, and it is immersed in an oil tank and fried.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Conventionally, oil removal after frying is not performed continuously, but batch processing is performed. As this batch processing method, a method is used in which a material is put into a metal mesh cage and the oil is shaken off by vibrating or rotating the cage. In such a conventional method, when the material is put into and out of the firewood, the vibration and rotation of the firewood must be stopped each time, so the oil draining operation becomes discontinuous, and as a result, the entire frying process is continued. It is impossible to formulate. Even if the shape of the material is special rod shape or flat shape in the oil draining operation, if the material can be continuously input and discharged from the bowl, the oil draining operation can be continued and the entire frying process is continuous. Therefore, development of such a device is awaited.
[0005]
The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and in the operation to make a product by performing seasoning etc. after frying carint or fried oysters etc. with oil, continuous oil removal can be performed continuously after frying An object is to provide an apparatus.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a cylindrical casing that is vertically fixed on a gantry, a vertical cylindrical oil drainer that is rotatably disposed inside the cylindrical casing, A vertical cylindrical inner cylinder rotatably disposed inside the oil drainer and a cylindrical chute fixed inside the inner cylinder are concentrically provided, and a transfer screw is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the inner cylinder. A ring-shaped product collection disk is attached so as to be close to the outside of the upper edge of the cylindrical casing so that the outer periphery of the cylindrical casing can be rotated .
[0007]
Further, the present invention is characterized in that the oil drain rod and the inner cylinder with screw are driven separately.
[0008]
Further, the present invention is characterized in that a ring-shaped product collecting disk is attached so as to be able to rotate on the outer periphery of the cylindrical casing by approaching the outside of the upper edge of the cylindrical casing.
[0010]
Further, the present invention is characterized in that a scraper is attached downward on the lower side of the oil draining bowl, and its lower edge is provided close to the upper surface of the bottom plate of the cylindrical casing.
[0011]
Further, the present invention is characterized in that a plate-like dispersion plate extending in the radial direction is provided immediately below the cylindrical chute at the bottom portion of the oil draining bowl.
[0012]
The vertical cylindrical casing in the present invention is also used to collect the waste oil discharged from the oil drainer, and does not necessarily have a cylindrical shape, but maintains a constant gap with the rotating oil drainer and keeps the oil Cylinders are convenient due to the collection.
[0013]
Cylindrical oil drains are used to blow off the surface oil of confectionery etc. to the outside by centrifugal force, and the side is composed of a net or punched plate. Moreover, what is necessary is just to determine the mesh | network or opening dimension and shape by the magnitude | size of the confectionery put in.
[0014]
An inner cylinder having a screw on the outer surface concentrically inside the oil drain rod is driven to rotate independently of the rotational drive of the oil drain rod. The outer diameter tip of the screw is provided with an appropriate gap from the inside of the oil drain rod. The pitch and twist direction of the screw are arbitrary, but the same direction as the rotation direction of the oil draining bowl is good, and the rotation speed is the difference from the rotation speed of the oil draining bowl, that is, the relative rotation speed is above the screw transfer direction and the confectionery. Give the transfer speed.
[0015]
Since the number of revolutions of the oil drainer is determined as the oil drainage capacity, the upward transfer speed is set by the amount of extra rotation from the number of revolutions of the oil drainer than the screw diameter and pitch of the inner cylinder. Therefore, it is desirable that the number of rotations of the oil drainer and the number of rotations of the inner cylinder screw are driven independently. As shown in the embodiment, the method of driving the oil drain rod and the inner cylinder is generally driven by a concentric double shaft, but is not necessarily limited thereto.
[0016]
A cylindrical chute fixed concentrically is provided on the inner side of the inner cylinder. The inner surface of the rotating inner cylinder may be a chute, but it is necessary for more reliably introducing the confectionery to the bottom of the oil drainer. The length of the chute may be selected as appropriate, but it is often desirable that the length is close to the bottom. The bottom portion of the oil draining bowl is a bottom plate, and it is preferable to provide a suitable number of radial plates on the bottom plate from the center of rotation so that the confectionery from the chute is guided to the outer net. Further, an oil drain port as an oil drain hole may be provided on the bottom plate. An appropriate number of scrapers may be provided on the outer lower surface of the bottom of the oil drainer so that the oil accumulated on the bottom of the cylindrical casing is scraped to the oil discharge port.
[0017]
The rotation direction and speed of the ring-shaped product collection disk provided on the upper part of the cylindrical casing are appropriately determined. The drive method of the product collection disk is supported by, for example, a thrust bearing provided on the cylindrical casing. Thus, not only the rotating itself but also the cylindrical casing itself may be rotated by being fixed to the cylindrical casing.
[0018]
A necessary number of partition plates for discharging the confectionery on the product collection disk to the outside are installed in contact with the disk, and the direction and shape are appropriately determined according to the discharge state. The position may be not only the radial direction of the disc but also an appropriate angle in the radial direction. Although it may be perpendicular to the disk, it may be at an appropriate angle. Moreover, a partition plate can be provided by the required number of discharge ports.
