When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element, or there may be an element centered thereon. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only implementation method.

[0034] Unless otherwise defined, all technical terms and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used in the specification of the invention herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0035] See also Figure 1-Figure 2 A proofing room according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes an outer cover 1 and a proofing channel conveying device 4.

[0036] The outer cover 1 has a proofing channel 2, and the proofing channel 2 includes proofing units 21 arranged at intervals along the extending direction of the proofing channel 2. Each proofing unit 21 is an independent heating area (the heat source of the heating area can come from the introduction of external hot air, the heat of the heating element, etc.), so that the dough can be proofed at different temperatures in each heating area. Adjacent proofing units 21 are connected to each other so that the movable bracket 3 (see Figure 4 ) can move along the extension direction of the proofing channel 2. It can be understood that the adjacent proofing units 21 can also be isolated by the door 13 so that the heat of each proofing unit 21 does not flow to each other, and the door 13 can be opened when necessary. In this embodiment, the door 13 is provided at the inlet 11 of the outer cover 1 and the outlet 12 of the outer cover 1 to prevent the heat in the proofing channel 2 from escaping.

[0037] The proofing channel conveying device 4 is arranged in the proofing channel 2, and the proofing channel conveying device 4 is used to convey the movable bracket 3 loaded with dough to move along the extension direction of the proofing channel 2.

[0038] When the proofing room is working, the mobile support 3 loaded with dough enters one of the proofing units 21 of the proofing channel 2, and then stands for a period of time, or enters the next proofing unit 21 step by step, or continuously. It should be noted that by arranging a plurality of proofing units 21 in the proofing room, different temperatures, humidity, carbon dioxide concentrations, etc. can be set in different proofing units 21 (i.e., heating areas), so that the dough can be processed to different degrees in different proofing units 21 to improve the proofing degree of the dough and obtain pastries with better taste.

[0039] It can be understood that by arranging a plurality of interval-arranged proofing units 21 in the proofing channel 2, the independent heating area of ​​each proofing unit 21 can achieve heating of the dough at different temperatures and humidities, so as to improve the proofing degree of the dough and obtain pastries with better taste. Since adjacent proofing units 21 are interconnected, it is convenient for the proofing channel conveying device 4 to carry the movable bracket 3 loaded with dough to move along the extension direction of the proofing channel 2.

[0040] As a further preferred embodiment: a plurality of openings 14 are provided between adjacent proofing units 21, and a plurality of proofing channel conveying devices 4 are provided, and each opening 14 corresponds to a proofing channel conveying device 4. In this way, a plurality of mobile brackets 3 can be accommodated in parallel in the proofing unit 21 at the same time.

[0041] It can be understood that the proofing channel conveying device 4 can be a chain conveyor, a roller conveyor, or a chain plate conveyor. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As a further preferred embodiment: the proofing channel conveying device 4 includes at least one group of conveying components 41; the conveying component 41 includes a chain conveying mechanism 411 and a transition mechanism 412.

[0042] Specifically, see Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8The chain conveying mechanism 411 includes a first motor 4111, a chain 4112 drivingly connected to the first motor 4111 (the first motor 4111 and the chain 4112 can be driven by an intermediate gear and a sprocket), and a first pushing mechanism 4113 installed on the chain 4112. The first pushing mechanism 4113 is used to push the mobile bracket 3 loaded with dough to move along the conveying direction of the chain 4112. The effect diagram of the first pushing mechanism 4113 pushing the mobile bracket 3 can be found in Figure 4 It can be understood that the first pushing mechanism 4113 can be a cylinder that extends in the direction of gravity or a combination of a motor and a slider, etc., as long as it can limit and push the mobile bracket 3; preferably, see Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 The first pushing mechanism 4113 includes a moving seat 41131, a first swing block 41132 pivotally connected to the moving seat 41131 at one end, and a first spring 41133 supported by the moving seat 41131 at one end. The other end of the first spring 41133 is elastically connected to the swing end of the first swing block 41132, so that the swing end of the first swing block 41132 can be bounced to the top of the moving seat 41131 in a natural state, so as to push the moving bracket 3 loaded with dough. Obviously, this conveying method is a pushing method, while the ordinary conveyor belt is a carrying method. It should be noted that when the pushing type is adopted, the mobile bracket 3 is installed with a supporting wheel 31. In this way, the friction resistance during the movement of the mobile bracket 3 is also small, and the power comes from the thrust of the first pushing mechanism 4113 (it should be noted that the thrust can be understood as a pulling force, that is, no matter whether it is a pushing or pulling method, the conveying method of the first pushing mechanism can be understood as thrust conveying). At this time, after the mobile bracket 3 completes the proofing, it can be directly transported by the supporting wheel 31, which saves the loading and unloading time and improves the production efficiency.

[0043] Specifically, see Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10The transition mechanism 412 includes a second motor 4121, a transmission gear 4122 drivingly connected to the second motor 4121 (an intermediate gear may also be present between the second motor 4121 and the transmission gear 4122), a rack 4123 drivingly connected to the transmission gear 4122, a guide seat 4124 for mounting and supporting the rack 4123, and a second pushing mechanism 4125 mounted on the rack 4123 and used for pushing the mobile bracket 3 loaded with dough to move along the conveying direction of the chain 4112. The length direction of the rack 4123 is the same as that of the first The moving direction of the pushing mechanism 4113 is consistent; the second motor 4121 can drive the rack 4123 to move along the length direction of the rack 4123, so as to complete the transition of the mobile bracket 3 through the rack 4123 (because when multiple proofing channel conveying devices 4 are linearly arranged end to end, it is necessary to extend and retract the rack 4123 to complete the conveying of the mobile bracket 3 so that the door 13 of the proofing channel 2 can be closed normally, and the setting of the door 13 is in a contradictory relationship with the entire conveyor belt, so a plurality of proofing channel conveying devices 4 are used for segmented connection). The rack 4123 is used to support and convey the mobile bracket 3 loaded with dough. It can be understood that the second pushing mechanism 4125 can be a cylinder that extends and retracts along the direction of gravity or a combination of a motor and a slider, etc., as long as the mobile bracket 3 can be limited and pushed; and preferably, refer to Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The second pushing mechanism 4125 includes a second swing block 41251 pivotally connected to the rack 4123 at one end, and a second spring 41252 supported by the rack 4123 at one end. The other end of the second spring 41252 is elastically connected to the swing end of the second swing block 41251, so that the swing end of the second swing block 41251 bounces up to the top of the rack 4123 in a natural state, so as to push the movable bracket 3 loaded with dough. The pushing effect diagram can be referred to Figure 4 .

[0044] Obviously, in this embodiment, after the mobile bracket 3 compresses the swing end of the first swing block 41132 and the swing block of the second swing block 41251, the first spring 41133 and the second spring 41252 are both suppressed; after the mobile bracket 3 passes over the first swing block 41132 and the second swing block 41251, the first swing block 41132 and the second swing block 41251 are naturally reset by elastic force and abut against the mobile bracket 3, so that the mobile bracket 3 can be pushed. It should be noted that in this embodiment, after the first pushing mechanism 4113 of the chain conveying mechanism 411 conveys the mobile bracket 3 for a certain displacement, the mobile bracket 3 is located between the head and tail of the two proofing channel conveying devices 4, and the second swing block 41251 of the second pushing mechanism 4125 abuts against the mobile bracket 3, so that the mobile bracket 3 is sent to the next proofing channel conveying device 4 and abuts against the first pushing mechanism 4113 of the next proofing channel conveying device 4.

[0045] It can be understood that the first pushing mechanism 4113 pushes the mobile bracket 3 along the conveying direction of the chain 4112, and the second pushing mechanism 4125 pushes the mobile bracket 3 into the next proofing channel conveying device 4, so that the transportation of the mobile bracket 3 can be completed by multiple proofing channel conveying devices 4. Moreover, multiple proofing channel conveying devices 4 can be used to transport dough after being linearly spaced at the head and tail. Compared with the integrated conveyor, the manufacturing difficulty and manufacturing cost are reduced. Moreover, such a configuration also allows the door 13 to be set at the entrance 11 and the exit 12 of the proofing channel 2 to prevent heat loss and temperature control.

[0046] As a further preferred embodiment: each conveying assembly 41 is respectively accommodated in one of the proofing units 21. In this way, the conveying of the movable bracket 3 between adjacent proofing units 21 can be completed by the second pushing mechanism 4125 of the conveying assembly 41.

[0047] As a further preferred embodiment:

[0048] See also Figure 8 The chain conveying mechanism 411 further includes a first guide rail 4114, and the moving seat 41131 is rollingly connected to the first guide rail 4114 through a plurality of first rollers 4115, and the axes of some first rollers 4115 are perpendicular to the axes of the remaining first rollers 4115. In this way, the moving process of the moving seat 41131 can be smoother and more stable.

[0049] Similarly, see Fig. 9 The transition mechanism 412 further includes a second guide rail 4126, the rack 4123 is rollingly connected to the second guide rail 4126 via a plurality of second rollers, and the axes of some of the second rollers are perpendicular to the axes of the remaining second rollers.

[0050] See also Figure 4 and Fig. 9 A third roller 4127 is provided on one end of the rack 4123 close to the second pushing mechanism 4125 , and the third roller 4127 is used to support the rack 4123 to improve the load-bearing capacity and strength of the rack 4123 .

[0051] In order to facilitate the maintenance of the first motor 4111 and the second motor 4121, see Figure 2 The first motor 4111 is arranged on the conveying assembly 41 in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the dough-loading mobile support 3 and is located at the edge of the horizontal direction of the conveying assembly 41. Similarly, the second motor 4121 is arranged on the conveying assembly 41 in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the dough-loading mobile support 3 and is located at the edge of the horizontal direction of the conveying assembly 41.

[0052] As a further preferred embodiment: see Figure 4 The proofing channel conveying device 4 further includes a third guide rail 42, which is used to support and guide the supporting wheel 31 of the mobile support 3 loaded with dough, so that the suspended part of the mobile support 3 loaded with dough can abut against the first pushing mechanism 4113 and / or the second pushing mechanism 4125. In order to facilitate the entry and exit of the mobile support 3, the starting end and / or the end end of the mobile support 3 can be provided with a slope 421.

[0053] As a further preferred embodiment: see Figure 5 The conveying components 41 are provided with a plurality of conveying components 41, and the plurality of conveying components 41 are arranged linearly and spaced apart to form an isolation area 5. The second pushing mechanism 4125 of the rack 4123 can deliver the movable bracket 3 loaded with dough on the conveying component 41 to the next conveying component 41. Obviously, a door 13 can be accommodated between the plurality of conveying components 41 to prevent the heat loss in the proofing channel 2 through the door 13 and facilitate the temperature control.

[0054] As a further preferred embodiment: the third guide rail 42 extends from the first conveying component 41 of the proofing channel conveying device 4 along the conveying direction of the dough to the conveying component 41 at the end of the proofing channel conveying device 4 .
