Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a material transfer device for an automatic fryer in which tempura with one side fried is transferred to one side of the same tank and the other side is fried by a reversing motion. Is.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional tempura frying machines fried one side of one of the oil tanks separated by a partition plate, then picked it with chopsticks and transferred it to another tank to invert it and fried the other surface.

In addition, as another method, it is the reality that frying is performed while turning the inside of the same oil tank while observing the color of the tempura while holding it with chopsticks.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention If a conventional tempura frying machine leaves the material as it is without changing its form, the portion in contact with the oil surface may be darkened.

In addition, when picking up with chopsticks for reversing and transferring and frying, there is a problem that damage to the material, labor, time and oil consumption are large.

Therefore, in the present invention, a part of the oil tank is formed as a communication port, and the other is partitioned by a partition plate to divide into A tank and B tank, and a rotary shaft is provided at the communication port, and a coaxial porous disk is formed. A transfer device and a cylinder with a cam groove are provided, of which the cylinder is fixed, and in the transfer device, the floating material (tempura) is suspended along the cam groove at the same rotation speed as the disk. It is an object of the present invention to provide an automatic tempura frying machine that is pushed out by a wire mesh and sent to another tank (B tank), inverted, and sent out in the exit direction.

Means for Solving the Problems In the tempura automatic frying machine of the present invention in order to achieve the above object, a communication port is provided in the oil tank, and a partition plate is provided next to the communication port so that they are mutually in the same oil tank. Divide into two communicating oil tanks (divided into A tank and B tank) (for simplicity of explanation), and set a rotary shaft on the base of the communication port, and make many holes in it. The disc is fixed, and a cylindrical body having a cam groove with a height is formed on the upper portion of the disc. A plurality of arms, each having a hanging wire net provided between the disk and the cylindrical body, are fixed around the rotation shaft at a predetermined interval.

The arm has a cam fixed to the hanging portion so as to rotate in accordance with the rotation of the rotary shaft, and a guide roller is pivotally supported at the tip of the arm so that the arm fits in the cam groove and rolls.

In addition, the wire net hung on the suspension is a mechanism that pushes the floated tempura in the traveling direction by the wire net to make U-tan.

Further, the disk having a plurality of holes fixed to the lower part of the rotating shaft is provided to eliminate the difference in temperature and to send the oil to the other tank so that the material sinks due to the wall thickness.

Operation The material transfer device of the tempura lifting machine configured as described above rotates the levitated material (tempura) sent from the tank A on one side by the hanging wire net of the net conveyor and the transfer chain by the wire net of the transfer device. By rotating the shaft, the material is pushed along the fixed cam groove in the traveling direction and transferred to tank B in the same oil tank.

Then, in tank B, the tempura sent by the hanging wire mesh installed between the endless transfer chains is pushed out in the rotation direction of the transfer chain, and the tempura is inverted at the reversing part (the surface is reversed to the back surface and immersed in the oil tank). ) And floats on the lower surface of the endless net conveyor, and is pushed in the traveling direction by the protrusion in the rotating direction of the conveyor, and automatically moves in the outlet direction to be discharged from the discharge port to the outside of the machine.

EXAMPLE An example will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIGS. 1 to 4, the oil tank of the automatic fryer is made of metal, for example, stainless steel or aluminum. The oil tank (1)
Although it is a single tank, it is formed to lengthen the transfer path for the material (tempura) in order to make the tempura the best frying. That is, the transfer passage is divided by providing a communication port (2) in a part of the oil tank and partitioning the communication port with a partition plate. Assuming that one transfer passage is tank A (tentative name for easy understanding), gears (3) and (3 ') are mounted on both left and right ends in tank A and endless net conveyor (4) is mounted on it. The material input port (5) is partially formed by suspending. The gears (6) and (6 ') are pivotally supported on the left and right sides of the tank wall by retracting from the charging port (5), and the endless chain (7) is suspended on this, and the hanging wire net ( 8)
To be installed at specified intervals.

Next, the passage detouring from the A tank to the B tank is a communication port of both tanks (A and B), and the communication port (2) has a base, and the rotation shaft (9) is upright on the base. Has been done. A disk (10) having a plurality of holes is fixed below the rotary shaft (9), and a cylindrical body (12) having a high and low cam groove (11) is fixed to a support (13) in the upper part. Has been done. A plurality of separate arms (14) are fixed to the rotary shaft (9) between the disc (10) and the cylindrical body (12) at predetermined intervals. The arm (1
A suspension (15) is provided at 4), and a wire mesh (16) is attached to the lower end of the suspension (15) hanging from the tip of the suspension (15) to form a so-called hanging wire mesh. Further hanging (15)
A guide roller (17) is rotatably attached to the tip of a cam (22) that is projected more horizontally, and is fitted so as to rotate in the cam groove. A bevel gear (18) that rotates the rotating shaft is provided on the upper surface of the support (13).

An angular space embedding disc is provided on the lower surface of the disc.

Next, it is sent to the B tank by the rotation of the moving mechanism from the communication port.
The configuration of tank B is almost the same as that of tank A, and an endless net conveyor (20) is provided at the bottom of the tank, and a hanging wire net (21) provided between transfer chains (19) is provided on the upper surface thereof. It is installed at a predetermined interval. However, the only difference is that tank B has a reversing part, and the tempura is turned upside down at the reversing part to be closely attached to the lower surface of the conveyor and transferred in the outlet direction.

Although the description of the structure of the drive mechanism is omitted in this embodiment, the structure is such that the chain and gears are rotated by driving the motor to smoothly drive the whole.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects.

Since a large number of holes are drilled in one disk, it is possible to eliminate the temperature difference of oil in the tank, and it is possible to send the material that has flowed to the oil and sunk due to the wall thickness from tank A to tank B.

Since the guide roller attached to the hanging wire mesh fixed to the rotating shaft is fitted into the cam groove of the cylindrical body to roll and move up and down, the tempura is automatically moved from tank A to tank B. The number of steps is reduced to improve the production efficiency, and since the tempura (material) is not directly operated by human hands, the shape is not changed and the shape is always maintained. Of course, the transfer mechanism occupies an unfair place. Not effective.
