Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of dough fermentation, in particular to a high-quality dough fermenter with a rapid cycle heating function. Background Art

[0002] In the field of baking and pasta making, the dough fermentation process is of vital importance, and its effect is directly related to the quality of the finished product. Traditional dough fermentation methods, such as fermentation in the natural environment, are easily affected by external factors such as temperature and humidity, resulting in a slow and unstable fermentation process, making it difficult to ensure that the fermentation effect can reach the ideal state every time. Some common simple heating and fermentation equipment have problems such as uneven heating and slow heating speed, which will cause local over-fermentation or under-fermentation of the dough, seriously affecting the quality of the dough. In order to overcome these difficulties and meet people's demand for efficient and high-quality dough fermentation, high-quality dough fermenters with rapid cycle heating function have come into being. It is committed to providing a stable and precise fermentation environment, using rapid cycle heating technology to ensure that the temperature evenly covers the dough, greatly shortening the fermentation time, allowing users to easily obtain the ideal fermented dough, and bringing unprecedented convenience and reliable protection to baking and pasta making. However, the existing dough fermenters still have the following defects during use:

[0003] 1. If the dough fermenter fails to drain moisture promptly, condensation or other liquids generated during the fermentation process will accumulate inside the unit. This can cause internal humidity to exceed the ideal range. Overly humid environments can cause the dough surface to absorb excessive water, leading to problems such as sticking and collapse, and damaging the dough's structure. Furthermore, humid environments can easily breed microorganisms such as mold and bacteria, which can contaminate the dough, affecting its flavor and texture while also posing a potential food safety risk. Furthermore, excessive humidity can alter the gas exchange conditions during fermentation, leading to uneven fermentation. Some areas may over-ferment due to high humidity, while others may under-ferment, ultimately affecting the quality of the finished baked product.

[0004] 2. If water cannot be drained out in a timely manner and accumulates at the bottom of the fermenter or other components for a long time, it may cause corrosion and damage to the metal parts and circuits of the equipment. For example, poor drainage may cause water to seep into the electrical system of the equipment, causing faults such as short circuits, and affecting the normal operation of the equipment. For fermenters with heating functions, accumulated water may affect the heat dissipation of the heating elements, resulting in uneven heating or even damage to the heating elements, which not only increases the maintenance cost of the equipment, but also shortens the overall service life of the equipment. In addition, impurities in the accumulated water may clog the ventilation holes or other structures of the equipment, affecting the heat dissipation and ventilation effects of the equipment, further exacerbating the loss of equipment components and causing the performance of the equipment to gradually decline. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] Example 1, with reference to Figures 1-6 and Figure 13, which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a high-quality dough fermenter with a rapid circulation temperature rising function, including a fermentation box 1, a groove 11 is opened at the bottom of the fermentation box 1, a vertical pipe 12 is arranged at the bottom of the groove 11, an anti-blocking box 13 is arranged at the bottom of the vertical pipe 12, a drain pipe 14 is arranged at the bottom of the anti-blocking box 13, a filter screen 15 is fixedly connected to the inside of the anti-blocking box 13, a material receiving box 16 is provided on one side of the anti-blocking box 13, the material receiving box 16 is slidably connected to the fermentation box 1, the material receiving box 16 abuts against the filter screen 15, and also includes an anti-blocking unit installed in the anti-blocking box 13; the anti-blocking unit includes a cleaning component installed in the anti-blocking box 13, a scraping component is installed on one side of the cleaning component, a cleaning component is installed at the bottom of the filter screen 15, the cleaning component includes a cleaning component 2 installed on the top of the filter screen 15, and a cleaning component is installed on the cleaning component 2 There is a pushing component 3; the cleaning component is used to clean the impurities on the top of the filter 15, the scraping component is used to scrape the impurities cleaned by the cleaning component, and the cleaning component is used to clean the impurities in the mesh of the filter 15 to the outside of the mesh; the cleaning component 2 includes a cleaning plate 21 slidably connected to the top of the filter 15, the bottom of the cleaning plate 21 abuts against the top of the filter 15, and two fixed shafts 22 are symmetrically distributed and fixedly connected to the cleaning plate 21. The inner wall of the anti-blocking box 13 is symmetrically distributed and provided with two U-shaped grooves 23. The anti-blocking box 13 is provided with inclined grooves 24 that are respectively connected to the inner sides of the two U-shaped grooves 23. The U-shaped groove 23 is fixedly connected to a first rubber wedge block 25 near one end of the inclined groove 24. The fixed shaft 22 is slidably connected to the inner sides of the U-shaped groove 23 and the inclined groove 24 respectively, and the fixed shaft 22 is slidably connected to the first inclined surface of the first rubber wedge block 25.

[0043] Specifically, during use, the fermentation box 1 utilizes an electric heating tube to heat the water in the water tank to generate steam, and then circulates the steam in a closed space through a fan to achieve rapid temperature rise. The high-temperature and humid air in the fermentation box 1 encounters the low-temperature box wall or objects such as dough, releases heat and liquefies, and generates condensed water, which will fall on the bottom of the fermentation box 1. The condensed water is concentrated in the center of the bottom of the fermentation box 1 through the groove 11, and the condensed water enters the anti-blocking box 13 through the vertical pipe 12. Under the action of the filter mesh 15, the condensed water is filtered to prevent impurities in the condensed water from accumulating and clogging the drainage system. The condensed water is discharged out of the fermentation box 1 through the drain pipe 14, which can avoid the fermentation environment being too humid and causing the quality of the dough to deteriorate, and can also prevent accumulated water from corroding equipment components, ensure stable operation of the equipment, extend its service life, and solve the problems of fermentation quality and equipment loss. The anti-blocking unit prevents the filter 15 from being blocked during the filtering process. After a long period of filtration, foreign particles are attached to the filter 15. The cleaning plate 21 slides on the top of the filter 15 to push the foreign particles on the top of the filter 15 into the receiving box 16. When the cleaning plate 21 slides, the fixed shaft 22 slides inside the U-shaped groove 23. When the fixed shaft 22 slides from the inside of the U-shaped groove 23 through the first inclined surface on the first rubber wedge block 25 into the inside of the inclined groove 24, under the joint action of the first rubber wedge block 25 and the inclined groove 24, The fixed shaft 22 slides upward inside the inclined groove 24. At this time, the fixed shaft 22 will re-enter the inside of the U-shaped groove 23 and be located in the top channel of the U-shaped groove 23. The fixed shaft 22 lifts the cleaning plate 21. That is, when the cleaning plate 21 slides from the side away from the receiving box 16, the cleaning plate 21 is lifted and does not contact the filter 15. When the cleaning plate 21 slides closer to the receiving box 16, the cleaning plate 21 contacts the filter 15. Then, when cleaning the foreign particles on the filter 15, the foreign particles on the filter 15 are not brought back. This prevents the chain problems such as water corrosion and circuit failure caused by blockage, ensures stable humidity control in the fermenter, and avoids the risk of dough quality degradation and equipment damage due to poor drainage.

[0044] Reference Figure 6 The pushing assembly 3 includes an electric push rod 31 fixedly connected to the anti-blocking box 13, a fixing seat 32 fixedly connected to the cleaning plate 21, and an output end of the electric push rod 31 passes through the anti-blocking box 13 and is slidably connected to the fixing seat 32.

[0045] Specifically, when the electric push rod 31 is extended, it pushes the cleaning plate 21 to slide toward the receiving box 16. At this time, the fixed shaft 22 slides along the bottom of the U-shaped groove 23 so that the cleaning plate 21 is close to the filter screen 15 to scrape impurities into the receiving box 16. When the electric push rod 31 is retracted, the fixed shaft 22 is introduced into the inclined groove 24 through the first rubber wedge block 25 to lift the cleaning plate 21 away from the filter screen 15 to avoid bringing back impurities on the return journey to form a one-way cleaning cycle. The electric push rod 31 provides a stable thrust to ensure that the cleaning plate 21 efficiently removes dough crumbs and other impurities on the filter screen 15 to maintain smooth drainage. The U-shaped groove 23 and the inclined groove 24 are used to realize automatic lifting of the cleaning plate 21 without the need for an additional power source, simplifying the structure and improving reliability. The receiving box 16 can be pulled out for cleaning and automatic cleaning can greatly reduce manual intervention and reduce maintenance frequency and cost. Timely removal of impurities can also prevent corrosion and protect components to extend the service life of the equipment.

[0046] Example 2, reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that: the scraping component includes a scraping assembly 4 installed on the top of the filter screen 15, and a pressing assembly 5 is installed on the scraping assembly 4; the scraping assembly 4 includes two chute that are symmetrically distributed and opened on the anti-blocking box 13, and the inner sides of the two chute are slidably connected with sliders 41, and a first return spring 42 is fixedly connected between the slider 41 and the inner wall of the chute, and a scraping plate 43 is fixedly connected between the two sliders 41, and the scraping plate 43 is slidably connected to the cleaning plate 21.

[0047] Specifically, when the cleaning plate 21 slides toward the receiving box 16, the scraping plate 43 compresses the first return spring 42, causing the scraping plate 43 to move downward along the surface of the cleaning plate 21, further scraping the impurities pushed by the cleaning plate 21 into the receiving box 16. When the cleaning plate 21 lifts off the filter screen 15 on its return journey, the first return spring 42 resets and drives the scraping plate 43 to slide in the opposite direction. At this time, the scraping plate 43 slides away from the cleaning plate 21, and the pressing assembly 5 can apply downward pressure to the scraping plate 43 to ensure that the scraping plate 43 is close to the cleaning plate 21 to enhance the scraping effect. The scraping plate 43 scrapes away the impurities on the cleaning plate 21, avoiding excessive impurities attached to the cleaning plate 21, which affects the cleaning effect of the filter screen 15. The structure is simple and easy to maintain, and can achieve continuous and efficient anti-blocking without complex driving. In conjunction with the one-way cleaning mechanism of the cleaning plate 21, it further ensures the smooth flow of the drainage system, reduces equipment corrosion and fermentation environment deterioration caused by residual impurities, and improves the dough fermentation quality and equipment operation stability.

[0048] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8The downward pressing assembly 5 includes an L-shaped bent rod 51 rotatably connected to the anti-blocking box 13, the L-shaped bent rod 51 overlaps one of the sliders 41, and a baffle is fixedly connected to the top of the L-shaped bent rod 51 on the anti-blocking box 13, and a second wedge block 52 is fixedly connected to one of the fixed shafts 22, and the second inclined surface on the second wedge block 52 is slidably connected to the L-shaped bent rod 51.

[0049] Specifically, the second wedge block 52 on the fixed shaft 22 pushes the L-shaped curved rod 51 to rotate around the fulcrum through the second inclined surface. The other end of the L-shaped curved rod 51 presses down the slider 41 overlapped with it, forcing the scraping plate 43 to overcome the elastic force of the first return spring 42 and adhere to the surface of the cleaning plate 21 to scrape impurities on the surface of the cleaning plate 21; when the second wedge block 52 is separated from the L-shaped curved rod 51, the slider 41 rebounds under the action of the first return spring 42, and the scraping plate 43 is lifted and separated from the cleaning plate 21. The downward movement is driven by the movement of the cleaning plate 21 itself, without the need for an additional power source, simplifying the structure and providing precise response; ensuring that impurities fall completely into the receiving box 16, improving the anti-blocking ability of the drainage system, and ensuring the stability of the fermenter humidity control and the reliability of the equipment. The remaining structure is the same as that of Example 1.

[0050] Example 3, reference Figures 9-12 , which is the third embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is different from the second embodiment in that: the cleaning component includes a cleaning assembly 6 installed at the bottom of the filter screen 15, and the cleaning assembly 6 is equipped with a rotating assembly 7, a reciprocating assembly 8, a lifting assembly 9 and a pushing assembly 10, and a trigger assembly 17 is also installed on the inside of the anti-blocking box 13; the cleaning assembly 6 includes a fixed plate 61 fixedly connected to the inside of the drain pipe 14, and a connecting shaft 62 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 61. The connecting shaft 62 is slidably connected to the upper limit of the lifting plate 63, and a plurality of S-shaped plates 64 are fixedly connected to the lifting plate 63 in a centrally symmetrical distribution.

[0051] Specifically, as connecting shaft 62 rotates, lifting plate 63 rotates synchronously with connecting shaft 62 and slides axially along connecting shaft 62 through rotating assembly 7, causing S-shaped plate 64 to reciprocate up and down while rotating. Its curved surface structure continuously stirs the water flow and generates vortexes, which flush filter 15 and remove impurities clogged in the mesh of filter 15 to the top of filter 15. The reciprocating motion of S-shaped plate 64 enhances the flushing effect of the water flow on filter 15, improving anti-clogging efficiency. The vortex of the water flow also prevents impurities from accumulating in drain pipe 14, maintaining unobstructed drainage. The simple and reliable structure reduces the frequency of manual maintenance, reduces the equipment failure rate, extends the service life of the fermenter, and ensures the humidity stability of the dough fermentation environment.

[0052] Reference Figure 10 The rotating assembly 7 includes a first vertical slot 71 provided on the connecting shaft 62 , a first protrusion 72 is slidably connected to the inner side of the first vertical slot 71 , and the first protrusion 72 is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 63 .

[0053] Specifically, when the connecting shaft 62 rotates, the first protrusion 72 slides along the inner wall of the first vertical groove 71, forcing the lifting plate 63 to move up and down along the axis while rotating, driving the S-shaped plate 64 to form a compound motion of "rotation + lifting". The motion conversion is achieved through the constraint of the groove rail, and no complex transmission components are required. The lifting plate 63 performs reciprocating motion, which enhances the flushing effect of the S-shaped plate 64 on the filter screen 15. The structure is compact and easy to maintain, which can effectively prevent the holes of the filter screen 15 from being clogged by residual impurities, ensuring long-term stability of drainage efficiency, while reducing the risk of equipment corrosion caused by poor drainage, and ensuring the reliability of the dough fermentation environment.

[0054] Reference Figure 10 The reciprocating assembly 8 includes a reciprocating plate 81 slidably connected to the connecting shaft 62, the lifting plate 63 is rotatably connected to the reciprocating plate 81, a guide rod 82 is slidably connected to the reciprocating plate 81, the guide rod 82 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 61, and a second return spring 83 is fixedly connected between the guide rod 82 and the reciprocating plate 81.

[0055] Specifically, as the reciprocating plate 81 rises, it pushes the lifting plate 63, compressing the second return spring 83. The second return spring 83 then returns the plate 81, causing it to descend, creating a periodic reciprocating motion. Guide rods 82 ensure motion stability, further improving anti-clogging efficiency and ensuring a long-term unobstructed drainage system, mitigating the risk of dough quality fluctuations due to uncontrolled humidity in the fermenter.

[0056] Reference Figure 11 The lifting assembly 9 includes a first spiral groove 91 formed on the connecting shaft 62. The connecting shaft 62 also includes a second vertical groove 92 connected to the first spiral groove 91. A third rubber wedge block 93 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the first spiral groove 91. A second protrusion 94 is slidably connected to the inner side of the second vertical groove 92. The second protrusion 94 is slidably connected to the inner side of the first spiral groove 91. The second protrusion 94 is slidably connected to the third inclined surface on the third rubber wedge block 93.

[0057] Specifically, when the connecting shaft 62 rotates, the second protrusion 94 first moves along the spiral trajectory of the first spiral groove 91. Under the action of the third inclined surface of the third rubber wedge 93, it smoothly slides into the second vertical groove 92. After being freed from restraint, it rapidly descends under the action of gravity and the second return spring 83, forming an intermittent rise and fall. The trajectory of the first spiral groove 91 and the second vertical groove 92 transforms rotation into intermittent rise and fall. The intermittent rise and fall, combined with rotation, prevents impurity accumulation, keeps the mesh unobstructed, reduces maintenance, and extends the life of the equipment.

[0058] Reference Figure 11The pushing assembly 10 includes a pushing rod 101 slidably connected to the inner side of the anti-blocking box 13, a second spiral groove 102 is provided on the connecting shaft 62, and a third vertical groove 103 is also provided on the connecting shaft 62 and communicates with the inner side of the second spiral groove 102. A fourth rubber wedge block 104 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the second spiral groove 102, and a fifth rubber wedge block 105 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the third vertical groove 103. The pushing rod 101 is slidably connected to the second spiral groove 102, the third vertical groove 103, the fourth inclined surface on the fourth rubber wedge block 104, and the fifth inclined surface on the fifth rubber wedge block 105 respectively.

[0059] Specifically, when the push rod 101 slides upward, under the action of the third vertical groove 103, the push rod 101 moves vertically upward. Under the action of the fifth rubber wedge block 105, the push rod 101 can slide from the third vertical groove 103 into the second spiral groove 102 when it slides downward. Under the action of the second spiral groove 102, the connecting shaft 62 rotates. When the push rod 101 slides into the end of the second spiral groove 102 from the inside of the second spiral groove 102, under the action of the fourth rubber wedge block 104, the push rod 101 re-enters the inside of the third vertical groove 103 from the second spiral groove 102, continuously pushing the connecting shaft 62 to rotate.

[0060] Reference Figure 12 The trigger assembly 17 includes a movable groove opened on the anti-blocking box 13, and a trigger rod 171 is slidably connected to the inside of the movable groove. The top of the trigger rod 171 extends to the inside of the U-shaped groove 23 and is slidably connected to the fixed shaft 22. A third return spring 172 is fixedly connected between the trigger rod 171 and the inner wall of the movable groove, and the push rod 101 is fixedly connected to the trigger rod 171.

[0061] Specifically, when the fixed shaft 22 slides inside the U-shaped groove 23, it squeezes the trigger rod 171, causing the trigger rod 171 to move downward, squeezing the third return spring 172, causing the push rod 101 to move downward. When the fixed shaft 22 does not squeeze the trigger rod 171, the third return spring 172 drives the trigger rod 171 to move upward and reset. The remaining structure is the same as that of Example 2.

[0062] Based on Examples 1-3, the working principle of the present invention is as follows: When the fermenter is working, condensed water is collected at the bottom of the fermentation box 1 through the groove 11, flows into the anti-blocking box 13 through the vertical pipe 12, and is filtered through the filter 15 and discharged from the drain pipe 14 to prevent impurities from clogging the drainage system. In the anti-blocking unit, when the electric push rod 31 is extended, it pushes the cleaning plate 21 to slide along the U-shaped groove 23 toward the material receiving box 16. At this time, the fixed shaft 22 slides along the bottom of the U-shaped groove 23, so that the cleaning plate 21 is close to the filter 15 and the impurities on the top are scraped into the material receiving box 16; when the electric push rod 31 is retracted, the fixed shaft 22 is guided into the inclined groove 24 through the first rubber wedge block 25, and the cleaning plate 21 is lifted away from the filter 15 to avoid bringing back impurities during the return journey, forming a one-way cleaning cycle. When the cleaning plate 21 slides, the second wedge block 52 on the fixed shaft 22 pushes the L-shaped bent rod 51 to rotate, pressing down the slider 41 overlapped with it, forcing the scraping plate 43 to overcome the elastic force of the first return spring 42 and adhere to the cleaning plate 21, further scraping the impurities on the plate into the receiving box 16. During the return stroke, the first return spring 42 drives the scraping plate 43 to reset and separate from the cleaning plate 21. At the same time, when the fixed shaft 22 slides in the U-shaped groove 23, it squeezes the trigger rod 171, driving the push rod 101 to slide in the second spiral groove 102 and the third vertical groove 103, and pushes the connecting shaft 62 to rotate through the fourth rubber wedge block 104 and the fifth rubber wedge block 105, so that the first protrusion 72 drives the lifting plate 63 to move up and down along the first vertical groove 71, and cooperates with the reciprocating motion of the reciprocating plate 81 on the guide rod 82, so that the S-shaped plate 64 performs a "rotation + lifting" compound motion, stirring the water flow to flush the filter screen 15, and cleaning the impurities in the mesh to the top, realizing efficient anti-blocking and cleaning of the drainage system, ensuring the stability of the fermentation environment, and improving the fermentation quality of the dough.
