Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bread production and processing technology, specifically to a proofing box for bread production and processing and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] The proofing box is a crucial piece of specialized equipment in the bread production process. By precisely controlling the temperature and humidity environment inside the box, it creates ideal conditions for dough fermentation. Its core function is to maintain a constant temperature of 28-30℃ and a suitable humidity of 75%-85%. With the help of an intelligent temperature control system and atomizing humidification device, it promotes the yeast to produce gas fully in a stable environment, allowing the dough to expand evenly to 1.5-2 times its original volume. This can significantly improve the expansion efficiency of bread dough and ensure that the finished product has a soft and dense texture and a regular and full shape. It is a tool for controlling the stability of product quality in modern baking technology.

[0003] However, existing bread proofing boxes have fixed shelf spacing, which cannot accommodate baking pans or dough containers of different sizes. Especially when the height of the dough changes after fermentation, the fixed spacing of the shelf makes it difficult to make full use of the internal space of the proofing box, resulting in low efficiency. At the same time, dough residue is easily left on the inner wall of the proofing box, which breeds mold and has many dead corners, making cleaning difficult. In addition, existing proofing boxes require the use of a steam generator to spray steam for humidification. When the humidity near the steam outlet is too high, condensation will accumulate and may drip and contaminate the dough or promote bacterial growth.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a proofing box for bread production and processing, as well as its usage method, to improve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0011] The partition cleaning assembly includes an outer shell, a water tank, and a water collection plate. The outer shell is embedded in the outer wall of the cabinet. A drive motor is installed on the top outer wall of the outer shell. A threaded rotating rod is installed on the drive shaft of the drive motor. One end of the threaded rotating rod passes through the outer shell and extends to the inner wall of the outer shell. The connection between the threaded rotating rod and the outer shell is a rotatable connection. Guide rods are symmetrically arranged on one side of the threaded rotating rod and on the inner wall of the outer shell.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a fixing plate is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded rotating rod, a guide rod is slidably connected to the outer wall of the fixing plate, a bellows is provided on the outer wall of the fixing plate, a pressurizing nozzle is installed at one end of the bellows, and an electric control cylinder is installed on the outer wall of the fixing plate via a universal ball joint, wherein one end of the electric control cylinder is connected to the pressurizing nozzle via a universal ball joint.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the booster nozzle is located on one side of the mounting housing, multiple sets of electrically controlled cylinders are provided and are respectively located on one side of the booster nozzle, the water storage tank is embedded in the top outer wall of the cabinet, a water pump is installed on the bottom outer wall of the water storage tank, the outlet of the water pump is connected to a corrugated pipe through a conduit, the water collection plate is embedded in the inner wall of the cabinet, the water collection plate has a grid hole structure, and there is a water storage gap between the water collection plate and the bottom of the cabinet.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the humidification component includes an evaporation shell, wherein two sets of evaporation shells are provided and respectively located on the inner walls of opposite sides of the cabinet. The evaporation shell is located on one side of the sliding track, and an evaporation plate is provided at the port of the evaporation shell, wherein the evaporation plate is located on one side of the sliding track, and one end of the evaporation plate is located on one side of the water collection plate. The evaporation shell is located on one side of the electrically controlled telescopic cylinder. Ventilation grooves are provided sequentially from top to bottom on the outer wall of the evaporation shell. An electrically controlled nozzle is provided on the inner wall of the evaporation shell, wherein the electrically controlled nozzle is located on one side of the evaporation plate. A ventilation fan is embedded in the port of the evaporation shell.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, multiple sets of ventilation fans are arranged from left to right and are respectively located on the outer wall of the evaporation shell, and the ventilation fans are located on the other side of the evaporation plate. A one-way ventilation valve is provided at the bottom of the evaporation shell, and the one-way ventilation valve is embedded in the bottom outer wall of the cabinet. The evaporation plate is made of medical absorbent cotton material.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the infrared ranging sensor is located on one side of the miniature electromagnet and directly below the mounting slider. A transparent observation window is embedded in the outer wall of the cabinet door on one side of the handle, and a foot pad is provided at the bottom corner of the cabinet.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the control panel is connected by wires to an electrically controlled telescopic cylinder, an infrared ranging sensor, a miniature electromagnet, a vertical height ranging sensor, a constant temperature plate, a temperature and humidity sensor, a drive motor, an electrically controlled cylinder, a water pump, an electrically controlled nozzle, and a ventilation fan, and the connection method is electrical connection.

[0018] Compared with existing technologies, this invention, by incorporating a height adjustment component into a proofing box for bread production and its usage method, enables automatic adjustment of the shelf spacing within the cabinet based on the height of the proofing equipment. A vertical height measuring sensor located above the housing generates data regarding the distance between the proofing box and the dough container. The control panel controls the switching on and off of a miniature electromagnet to adjust the shelf spacing. When energized, the miniature electromagnet attracts the outer side of the positioning rod and compresses the limiting spring via a magnetic adsorption block, causing the mounting slider to move with the positioning rod, thus moving the guide rod and the housing to adjust the spacing. When de-energized, the electromagnet and positioning rod become slidably connected, and the magnetic adsorption block is fixed to the inner wall of the sliding track under the spring's restoring force. An electrically controlled telescopic cylinder drives the positioning rod up and down, and an infrared distance measuring sensor monitors the slider spacing in real time and feeds back the data to the control panel, achieving automatic adjustment of the shelf height. This solves the problem of fixed shelf spacing in proofing boxes, which cannot adapt to baking pans or dough containers of different sizes, especially when the height of the dough changes after fermentation. The fixed shelf spacing makes it difficult to fully utilize the internal space of the proofing box, leading to low efficiency.

[0019] This invention, by incorporating a partition cleaning component into a proofing box for bread production and its usage method, enables adjustments to the length and orientation of the nozzle. The height adjustment component uses a miniature electromagnet to attract and position the positioning plate, tilting the mounting housing inwards towards the pressurized nozzle. A control panel drive motor moves a threaded rotating rod longitudinally, linking the fixing plate and the pressurized nozzle to the side of the mounting housing. Multiple electrically controlled cylinders operate via universal joints, extending and retracting the bellows of the pressurized nozzle, adjusting the nozzle angle and bellows length to conform to the tilted surface of the mounting housing. A water pump delivers cleaning fluid from the storage tank to the pressurized nozzle via a conduit, achieving multi-angle high-pressure rinsing. The cleaning fluid is collected by a water collection plate, thus solving the problems of dough residue residue, mold growth, numerous dead corners, and difficult cleaning on the inner wall of the proofing box.

[0020] This invention, by incorporating a humidification component into a proofing box for bread production and its usage method, enables the regulation of humidity within the box's interior by simulating natural evaporation. The control panel monitors and transmits data in real time via temperature and humidity sensors. When preset values ​​are reached, a constant-temperature plate is simultaneously activated for constant-temperature fermentation, and an electronically controlled nozzle sprays pure liquid onto the evaporation plate. The pure liquid flows downwards along the evaporation plate and is then collected on one side of a water collection plate. Simultaneously, the control panel activates a ventilation fan to introduce external air. The airflow accelerates evaporation and water absorption through the evaporation plate, and the water vapor enters the box's interior. This humidification system regulates humidity through the principle of natural evaporation, avoiding the water mist produced by steam humidification. This ensures that the humidity inside the box remains within a comfortable range without the risk of over-humidification, thus solving the problem of existing proofing boxes requiring steam generators for humidification. In such cases, excessively high humidity near the steam outlet can lead to condensation, potentially dripping and contaminating the dough or promoting bacterial growth. Attached Figure Description

[0037] In this embodiment, specific references Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The humidification component 7 includes an evaporator housing 701. Two sets of evaporator housings 701 are located on opposite inner walls of the cabinet 1. The evaporator housings 701 are situated on one side of the sliding rail 502. An evaporator plate 702 is located at the port of the evaporator housing 701, with one end of the evaporator plate 702 positioned on one side of the sliding rail 502 and one end of the evaporator plate 702 positioned on one side of the water collection plate 603. The evaporator housing 701 is situated on one side of the electrically controlled telescopic cylinder 501. Ventilation grooves 703 are sequentially arranged from top to bottom on the outer wall of the evaporator housing 701. An electrically controlled nozzle 704 is installed on the inner wall of the housing 701. The electrically controlled nozzle 704 is located on one side of the evaporation plate 702. A ventilation fan 705 is embedded in the port of the evaporation housing 701. Multiple sets of ventilation fans 705 are arranged from left to right and are located on the outer wall of the evaporation housing 701. The ventilation fan 705 is located on the other side of the evaporation plate 702. A one-way vent valve 706 is installed at the bottom of the evaporation housing 701. The one-way vent valve 706 is embedded in the bottom outer wall of the cabinet 1. The evaporation plate 702 is made of medical absorbent cotton material.

[0038] The infrared ranging sensor 505 is located to one side of the miniature electromagnet 506, and is directly below the mounting slider 504. A transparent observation window 8 is embedded in the outer wall of the cabinet door 2, to one side of the handle 3. Foot pads 9 are provided at the bottom corner of the cabinet 1. The control panel 4 is connected via wires to the electrically controlled telescopic cylinder 501, the infrared ranging sensor 505, the miniature electromagnet 506, the vertical height ranging sensor 515, the constant temperature plate 516, and the temperature and humidity sensor 51. 7. Under the action of the drive motor 604, the electric cylinder 610, the water pump 612, the electric nozzle 704, and the ventilation fan 705, which are connected electrically, the device is powered on, thereby enabling the control panel 4 to control the electric telescopic cylinder 501, the infrared distance sensor 505, the miniature electromagnet 506, the vertical height distance sensor 515, the constant temperature plate 516, the temperature and humidity sensor 517, the drive motor 604, the electric cylinder 610, the water pump 612, the electric nozzle 704, and the ventilation fan 705 to operate.

[0039] In this bread production and processing proofing box and its usage method, when the handle 3 is pulled, the handle 3 moves the cabinet door 2 outward, thereby causing the cabinet door 2 to rotate and open on the outer wall of the hinge. Then, the fermentation dough container is placed on the top outer wall of the mounting housing 513, and then the cabinet door 2 is closed. At this time, the vertical height distance sensor 515 located above the mounting housing 513 generates data on the distance between the dough container and the vertical height distance sensor 515. At the same time, the vertical height distance sensor 515 generates an electrical signal, which is transmitted to the control panel 4 through wires. When the set value is reached, the control panel 4 will control the electric telescopic cylinder 501 to operate, thereby causing one end of the electric telescopic cylinder 501 to drive the positioning rod 503 to reciprocate up and down.

[0040] When the positioning rod 503 moves up and down via the electrically controlled telescopic cylinder 501, the control panel 4 controls the micro electromagnet 506 to be energized and generate magnetism, thereby magnetically adsorbing and fixing the micro electromagnet 506 onto the outer wall of the positioning rod 503. At the same time, the micro electromagnet 506 and the magnetic adsorption block 509 magnetically adsorb each other, causing the magnetic adsorption block 509 to move inward on the inner wall of the limiting sleeve 507, so that the magnetic adsorption block 509 applies pressure to the limiting spring 508 to compress it, thereby causing the magnetic adsorption block 509 to detach from the inner wall of the sliding track 502. When the positioning rod 503 is displaced, the positioning rod 503 drives the mounting slider 504 to move via the micro electromagnet 506, thereby causing the mounting slider 504 to move on the inner wall of the sliding track 502, and causing the mounting slider 504 to move via the guide rod 510, which in turn drives the mounting housing 513 to move via the fixing sleeve 511, thereby adjusting and increasing the spacing between the partitions.

[0041] The micro electromagnet 506 is de-energized and loses its magnetism via the control panel 4. At this time, the connection between the micro electromagnet 506 and the positioning rod 503 is a sliding connection, which causes the mounting slider 504 to lose the tension of the positioning rod 503, thereby fixing the mounting slider 504 to the inner wall of the sliding track 502. At the same time, when the micro electromagnet 506 is de-energized and loses its magnetism, the magnetic adsorption block 509 loses the magnetic adsorption of the micro electromagnet 506, thereby causing the compressed limiting spring 508 to extend, so that the limiting spring 508 pushes the magnetic adsorption block 509 to move outward, thereby fixing the magnetic adsorption block 509 against the inner wall of the sliding track 502. The magnetic adsorption block 509 increases the friction of the sliding track 502.

[0042] The positioning rod 503 is moved up and down by the electrically controlled telescopic cylinder 501 in the height adjustment component 5. By controlling the micro electromagnet 506 to generate magnetic attraction as needed, the mounting slider 504 is pulled up and down by the positioning rod 503. This allows each partition to automatically adjust its spacing height according to actual needs. Simultaneously, an infrared distance sensor 505 is installed on the bottom outer wall of the mounting slider 504. The infrared distance sensor 505 is located to one side of the micro electromagnet 506 and directly below the mounting slider 504. Under these conditions, the infrared ranging sensor 505 will generate data in real time based on the distance between the mounting sliders 504. At the same time, the infrared ranging sensor 505 generates an electrical signal that is transmitted to the control panel 4 through wires to monitor the displacement of the mounting sliders 504. This facilitates initial reset after the device is used, thereby solving the problem that the fixed shelf spacing of the proofing box cannot adapt to baking pans or dough containers of different sizes. In particular, when the height of the dough changes after fermentation, the fixed spacing of the proofing box makes it difficult to make full use of the internal space of the proofing box, which leads to low efficiency of the device.

[0043] When the temperature and humidity sensor 517 is operated via the control panel 4, the sensor generates data based on the temperature and humidity inside the cabinet 1. Simultaneously, the sensor generates an electrical signal that is transmitted to the control panel 4 via wires. When the set parameters are reached, the control panel 4 controls the constant temperature plate 516 to operate for constant temperature fermentation. At the same time, the control panel 4 controls the electrically controlled nozzle 704 to operate, causing it to spray pure liquid onto the evaporation plate 702. The liquid flows downwards along the evaporation plate 702 and is then collected on one side of the water collection plate 603 to prevent overflow and contamination of the cabinet 1's interior. Since the evaporation plate 702 is located on one side of the sliding track 502, after the evaporation plate 702 is soaked in liquid, the control panel 4 controls the ventilation fan 705 to operate, thereby activating the ventilation fan 705. 05. External air is drawn into the evaporator shell 701. Since the evaporator plate 702 is located at the port of the evaporator shell 701, the airflow inside the evaporator shell 701 is discharged through the one-way vent valve 706. As the airflow drives the evaporator plate 702 inside the evaporator shell 701 to evaporate faster, the evaporator plate 702 will absorb water. At the same time, the water vapor evaporated on the other side of the evaporator plate 702 enters the inner cavity of the cabinet 1. Since the evaporator humidifier of the humidification component 7 does not produce water mist compared to steam humidification, it simulates the natural evaporation process and maintains the air humidity at a relatively comfortable level. It usually does not over-humidify, thus solving the problem that existing proofing boxes need to use a steam generator to spray steam for humidification. When the humidity near the steam outlet is too high, it will cause condensation to accumulate and condense, which may drip and contaminate the dough or promote bacterial growth.

[0044] The micro electromagnets 506 on both sides of the mounting housing 513 in the height adjustment component 5 generate magnetic attraction, which causes different lifting forces to be generated on the front and rear sides of the mounting housing 513. At the same time, the positioning plate 512 slides on the inner wall of the mounting housing 513, so that the surface of the mounting housing 513 tilts inward, so that the mounting housing 513 faces the pressurizing nozzle 611. Then the control panel 4 controls the drive motor 604 to operate, so that the drive end of the drive motor 604 drives the threaded rotating rod 605 to move longitudinally, which in turn causes the fixing plate 607 to move longitudinally on the outer wall of the guide rod 606, which causes the fixing plate 607 to move the pressurizing nozzle 611 to one side of the mounting housing 513.

[0045] The operation of the electrically controlled cylinder 610 is controlled by the control panel 4. The electrically controlled cylinder 610 is installed on the outer wall of the fixed plate 607 via a universal joint 609. One end of the electrically controlled cylinder 610 is connected to a pressure-boosting nozzle 611 via the universal joint 609. The pressure-boosting nozzle 611 is located on one side of the mounting housing 513. Multiple sets of electrically controlled cylinders 610 are provided, each located on one side of the pressure-boosting nozzle 611. When multiple sets of electrically controlled cylinders 610 move outward simultaneously, the pressure-boosting nozzle 611 causes the bellows 608 to extend outward. When multiple sets of electrically controlled cylinders 610 retract inward simultaneously, the pressure-boosting nozzle 611 causes the bellows 608 to retract inward, thereby adjusting the length of the pressure-boosting nozzle 611. When one side of the electrically controlled cylinder 610 moves outward, the same... When the electric cylinder 610 on the other side moves inward, the pressure on both sides of the booster nozzle 611 will be different, causing the booster nozzle 611 to shift towards the side of the pulling force, thereby adjusting the orientation of the booster nozzle 611. This allows the partition cleaning component 6 to operate according to the set parameters, so that the booster nozzle 611 is close to the inclined mounting housing 513. The control panel 4 controls the water pump 612 to operate and draw out the cleaning liquid from the water tank 602. The cleaning liquid enters the inner cavity of the booster nozzle 611 through the conduit 613, thereby allowing the booster nozzle 611 to perform high-pressure flushing of the mounting housing 513 from different angles from top to bottom and left to right. The cleaned liquid is collected by the water collection plate 603, thus solving the problems of dough residue, mold growth, many dead corners, and difficult cleaning on the inner wall of the proofing box.

7. The method of using a proofing box for bread production and processing according to claim 6, characterized in that, The specific steps are as follows: Operation Step 1: Pull the handle (3) so that the handle (3) moves the cabinet door (2) outward, thereby causing the cabinet door (2) to rotate and open on the outer wall of the hinge. Then place the fermented dough container on the top outer wall of the mounting housing (513), and then close the cabinet door (2). At this time, the distance between the vertical height measuring sensor (515) above the mounting housing (513) and the dough container generates data. At the same time, the vertical height measuring sensor (515) generates an electrical signal, which is transmitted to the control panel (4) through the wires. When the set value is reached, the control panel (4) will control the electric telescopic cylinder (501) to operate, thereby causing one end of the electric telescopic cylinder (501) to drive the positioning rod (503) to move up and down repeatedly. Operation Step Two: When the positioning rod (503) is moved up and down by the electrically controlled telescopic cylinder (501), the control panel (4) will control the micro electromagnet (506) to be energized and generate magnetism, thereby causing the micro electromagnet (506) to be magnetically attracted and fixed on the outer wall of the positioning rod (503). At the same time, the micro electromagnet (506) and the magnetic adsorption block (509) are magnetically attracted, causing the magnetic adsorption block (509) to move inward on the inner wall of the limiting sleeve (507), so that the magnetic adsorption block (509) applies pressure to the limiting spring (508). The force compresses it, causing the magnetic adsorption block (509) to detach from the inner wall of the sliding track (502). When the positioning rod (503) moves, it will cause the positioning rod (503) to drive the mounting slider (504) to move through the miniature electromagnet (506), thereby causing the mounting slider (504) to move on the inner wall of the sliding track (502). The mounting slider (504) will move through the guide rod (510), causing the guide rod (510) to drive the mounting housing (513) to move through the fixing sleeve (511) to adjust and increase the spacing between the layers. Operation Step 3: Control the micro electromagnet (506) to lose power and magnetism through the control panel (4). At this time, the connection between the micro electromagnet (506) and the positioning rod (503) is a sliding connection, which will cause the mounting slider (504) to lose the pulling force of the positioning rod (503), and thus the mounting slider (504) will be fixed on the inner wall of the sliding track (502). At the same time, when the micro electromagnet (506) loses power and magnetism, the magnetic adsorption block (509) will lose the magnetic adsorption of the micro electromagnet (506), and thus the compressed limiting spring (508) will be extended, so that the limiting spring (508) will push the magnetic adsorption block (509) to move outward, and thus the magnetic adsorption block (509) will be fixed against the inner wall of the sliding track (502). The magnetic adsorption block (509) increases the friction of the sliding track (502). Operation Step 4: The positioning rod (503) is moved up and down by the electric telescopic cylinder (501) in the height adjustment component (5). The micro electromagnet (506) is controlled to generate magnetic attraction as needed, which will cause the mounting slider (504) to be pulled up and down by the positioning rod (503). This allows each layer to automatically adjust the spacing height according to actual needs. The infrared distance sensor (505) will generate data in real time based on the distance between the mounting sliders (504). At the same time, the infrared distance sensor (505) generates an electrical signal that is transmitted to the control panel (4) through the wire to monitor the displacement of the mounting slider (504). Operation Step 5: When the temperature and humidity sensor (517) is operated by the control panel (4), the temperature and humidity sensor (517) generates data based on the internal temperature and humidity of the cabinet (1). At the same time, the temperature and humidity sensor (517) generates an electrical signal that is transmitted to the control panel (4) through the wire. When the set parameters are reached, the control panel (4) controls the constant temperature plate (516) to operate for constant temperature fermentation. At the same time, the control panel (4) controls the electric spray nozzle (704) to operate so that the electric spray nozzle (704) sprays pure liquid onto the evaporation plate (702). The liquid will flow down along the evaporation plate (702) and then flow to one side of the water collection plate (603) for collection to prevent liquid overflow and contamination. The inner cavity of the cabinet (1), and since the evaporator plate (702) is located on one side of the sliding rail (502), when the evaporator plate (702) is soaked in liquid, the control panel (4) controls the ventilation fan (705) to operate, thereby causing the ventilation fan (705) to draw the outside gas into the evaporator shell (701). Since the evaporator plate (702) is located at the port of the evaporator shell (701), the airflow in the inner cavity of the evaporator shell (701) is discharged through the one-way ventilation valve (706). As the airflow drives the evaporator plate (702) in the inner cavity of the evaporator shell (701) to accelerate evaporation, the evaporator plate (702) will absorb water, and at the same time, the water vapor evaporated on the other side of the evaporator plate (702) enters the inner cavity of the cabinet (1). Operation Step Six: The micro electromagnets (506) on both sides of the mounting housing (513) in the height adjustment component (5) generate magnetic adsorption, which will cause different lifting forces to be generated on the front and rear sides of the mounting housing (513). At the same time, the positioning plate (512) slides on the inner wall of the mounting housing (513) so that the surface of the mounting housing (513) tilts inward, so that the mounting housing (513) faces the booster nozzle (611). Then the control panel (4) controls the drive motor (604) to run, so that the drive end of the drive motor (604) drives the threaded rotating rod (605) to move longitudinally, which in turn causes the fixing plate (607) to move longitudinally on the outer wall of the guide rod (606), which will cause the fixing plate (607) to drive the booster nozzle (611) to move to one side of the mounting housing (513). Operation Step Seven: Control the operation of the electric cylinder (610) through the control panel (4). When multiple sets of electric cylinders (610) move outward simultaneously, the booster nozzle (611) will cause the bellows (608) to stretch outward. When multiple sets of electric cylinders (610) retract inward simultaneously, the booster nozzle (611) will cause the bellows (608) to retract inward, thereby adjusting the length of the booster nozzle (611). When one side of the electric cylinder (610) moves outward, and the other side of the electric cylinder (610) moves inward, the two sides of the booster nozzle (611) will be subjected to different forces, thus... The booster nozzle (611) is shifted to the side of the tension, thereby adjusting the orientation of the booster nozzle (611) so that the partition cleaning assembly (6) operates according to the set parameters, so that the booster nozzle (611) is close to the inclined mounting housing (513). The control panel (4) controls the water pump (612) to operate and draw out the cleaning liquid from the water storage tank (602). The cleaning liquid enters the inner cavity of the booster nozzle (611) through the conduit (613), thereby making the booster nozzle (611) perform high-pressure flushing of the mounting housing (513) from different angles up, down, left and right. The cleaned liquid is collected by the water collection plate (603).
