Description

[0002] Fermentation refers to the process in which people use the life activities of microorganisms under aerobic or anaerobic conditions to prepare microbial cells themselves, or direct metabolites or secondary metabolites. It is widely used in the food industry, biological and chemical industries. For example, fermentation is required when making bread, dumplings, steamed buns and other pastries.

[0003] In the prior art, dough is generally fermented in a fermentation box. During the fermentation process, the user of the existing fermentation box generally determines the fermentation result based on the fermentation volume of the dough. For example, Chinese patent application number 200710134837.5 converts the dough volume measurement into the measurement of the height change of the dough after fermentation, and the height change of the fermented dough is reflected in the change of the current signal of the single-chip computer system. When the dough is fermented, an alarm prompts the user that the dough has been fermented, making the judgment method convenient and quick. Since the volume of the dough after fermentation is generally twice that of the unfermented state, this value is not absolute due to the influence of the fermentation environment and dough ingredients, and converting it into height measurement will also make the volume expansion judgment inaccurate. Therefore, detecting the fermentation result by measuring the height of the fermented dough alone is not accurate enough, and there is a need for a fermentation device that can more accurately detect the dough fermentation result.

[0029] The following is a detailed description of an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is implemented based on the technical solution of the present invention, and a detailed implementation method and specific operation process are given. However, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiment. In the description of the present invention, words indicating directions or positional relationships such as "front", "rear", "left", and "right" are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, it should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0030] Example 1: Example 1 discloses a dough fermentation device with a monitoring function, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, it includes a box 1, specifically, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the box body 1 is a container which is sealed on all sides and at the bottom and has an opening at the top, and a box cover 2 is further provided on the top of the box body 1 for sealing the upper opening of the box body 1, and the box cover 2 is rotatably mounted on the top of the box body 1. The upper opening of the box body 1 can be opened and sealed by rotating the box cover 2, and the box cover 2 is automatically opened and closed by a first electric push rod 3. Specifically, the top end of the output shaft of the first electric push rod 3 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 4 on one side of the box cover 2, and the bottom end of the first electric push rod 3 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the box body 1, so that the box cover 2 is automatically opened and closed by controlling the extension and retraction of the extension shaft of the first electric push rod 3. Therefore, when in use, the box cover 2 can be opened by the first electric push rod 3, and the dough to be fermented can be put into the box body 1 for fermentation. In addition, the box body 1 has the function of controlling temperature and humidity, so that the environment inside the box 1 reaches the environment required for dough fermentation, thereby improving the fermentation efficiency.

[0031] During the fermentation process, when the fermentation reaches a certain time, it is necessary to monitor the fermentation of the dough to determine whether the dough fermentation is complete. Figure 1and Figure 2 As shown, a trigger mechanism 5 is provided on the box cover 2, which pokes holes in the dough fermented inside the box body 1 through the trigger mechanism 5, so that the user can judge the fermentation status of the dough by the changes in the concave holes. By arranging the trigger mechanism 5 on the box cover 2, when it is necessary to open the box cover 2 and take out the dough, the trigger mechanism 5 can move with the box cover 2, so as to avoid the trigger mechanism 5 being located inside the box body 1 and affecting the taking out of the dough. Specifically, the trigger mechanism 5 includes a fixed box 51 and a trigger assembly 52, wherein the fixed box 51 is fixedly arranged inside the box cover 2, and an opening is provided below the fixed box 51. The interior of the fixed box 51 is connected to the interior of the box body 1 through the opening below, and the trigger assembly 52 is arranged inside the fixed box 51;

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the trigger assembly 52 includes an upper fixing plate 521, a lower fixing plate 522, a fixing rod 523, a control column 524, a pressure plate 525, an elastic member 526 and a second electric push rod 527, wherein the upper fixing plate 521 and the lower fixing plate 522 are both arranged inside the fixing box 51, and the upper fixing plate 521 and the lower fixing plate 522 are respectively located above and below the fixing box 51, the upper fixing plate 521 and the lower fixing plate 522 are connected by the fixing rod 523, and the lower fixing plate 522 is provided with a sliding hole inside, and the control column 524 is slidably inserted inside the sliding hole, and the two ends of the control column 524 extend to the upper and lower parts of the lower fixing plate 522 respectively, and a pressure plate 525 is fixed on the top of the control column 524, and an elastic member 526 is provided between the pressure plate 525 and the lower fixing plate 522, so that when the control column 524 is pressed down, the pressure plate 525 can be pressed by the elastic member 526. 25 rebounds and moves upward, so that the control column 524 is reset. Specifically, the elastic member 526 can be set as a spring. A second electric push rod 527 is provided above the pressure plate 525, and the second electric push rod 527 is fixedly installed under the upper fixed plate 521. The bottom end of the telescopic shaft of the second electric push rod 527 contacts the pressure plate 525, so that the pressure plate 525 and the control column 524 are controlled to move downward by the second electric push rod 527. Therefore, the control column 524 is moved downward by the second electric push rod 527. The control column 524 will continue to press down to poke the dough inside the box body 1 to form a concave hole. The user can observe the concave hole and judge the dough fermentation status according to the state of the concave hole. When the concave hole shrinks and collapses, the dough is over-fermented. When the concave hole rebounds quickly, the dough is not fermented enough. When the concave hole remains unchanged, the fermentation meets the standard. Therefore, the dough fermentation can be judged according to the concave hole.

[0033] Since a single method of judging dough fermentation will make the dough fermentation state judgment inaccurate, in order to improve the accuracy of dough fermentation judgment, Figures 2-4As shown, a fixed plate 6 is fixedly provided on one side below the lower fixed plate 522, and a rotating plate 7 is provided on the side of the fixed plate 6 facing the control column 524, and the rotating plate 7 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 6 through a rotating shaft 8. The rotating plate 7 is located below the control column 524, and the bottom end of the control column 524 is in contact with the outer wall of one side of the upper end surface of the rotating plate 7. In addition, a torsion spring 9 is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 8. The torsion spring 9 can make the rotating plate 7 rebound and reset after being pressed down, so that the rotating plate 7 is always in contact with the control column 524 through the torsion spring 9. When the control column 524 moves down, the control column 524 presses the rotating plate 7 down, so that the rotating plate 7 rotates counterclockwise with the rotating shaft 8 as the center. When the control column 524 moves up, the torsion spring 9 can The rotating plate 7 is reset, and a shovel plate 10 is fixedly provided at one end of the rotating plate 7, and the end of the shovel plate 10 is sharp, so that when the rotating plate 7 is rotated by the downward movement of the control column 524, the control column 524 presses the rotating plate 7 downward to rotate the rotating plate 7, when the rotating plate 7 is rotated to the side of the control column 524, the control column 524 moves downward to poke holes in the dough, and at the same time, the rotating plate 7 rotates to drive the shovel plate 10 to shovel and dig the dough inside the box 1, so that the inside of the dough is exposed, so that the user can observe the inside of the dough and judge the fermentation state according to the pores inside the dough, thereby improving the accuracy of judging the fermentation state of the dough by observing the two judgment methods of pores and concave holes;

[0034] In order to limit the upward movement of the control column 524, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a limit plate 11 is sleeved on the outer wall of the control column 524, and the limit plate 11 is located below the lower fixed plate 522, so that the upward movement of the control column 524 is limited by the limit plate 11, so that after the control column 524 is reset, the rotating plate 7 can remain horizontal when in contact with the control column 524;

[0035] In addition, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a remote monitoring system 12 is provided. When the trigger mechanism 5 is activated, the air holes inside the dough, the formed concave holes and the height of the dough can be remotely monitored by a mobile phone terminal through the remote monitoring system 12, thereby eliminating the need for a user to open the box cover 2 for monitoring.

[0036] Since doughs of different volumes will ferment at different heights, Figure 2As shown, a first lifting assembly 13 is provided above the upper fixing plate 521, and both the upper fixing plate 521 and the lower fixing plate 522 can slide up and down inside the fixing box 51, so that the upper fixing plate 521 and the lower fixing plate 522 can be raised and lowered by the first lifting assembly 13, so that the distance between the bottom end of the control column 524 and the top of the dough can be adjusted, so that the height of the control column 524 can be adjusted according to the different volumes of dough to adapt to the fermentation of dough of different volumes, thereby improving the applicability of the device. The first lifting assembly 13 can adopt a folding lifting structure, so that the first lifting assembly 13 occupies less space;

[0037] After fermentation is completed, when the dough needs to be taken out, since the dough is inside the box 1, it is inconvenient for the user to take out the dough. Figure 2 As shown, a fermentation barrel mechanism 14 is provided inside the box body 1, wherein the fermentation barrel mechanism 14 includes a rotating barrel 141, an inner barrel 142 and a second lifting assembly 143, wherein the rotating barrel 141 is provided inside the box body 1, and the rotating barrel 141 is concentric with the box body 1, a connecting shaft 15 is fixedly provided below the rotating barrel 141, and the connecting shaft 15 is rotatably connected to the bottom wall of the box body 1 through a bearing, and the end of the connecting shaft 15 located outside the box body 1 is electrically controlled by a driving motor 16, and the inner barrel 142 is slidably provided inside the rotating barrel 141, and the outer circumferential wall of the inner barrel 142 is in contact with and slidably matched with the inner wall of the rotating barrel 141, and the inner barrel 142 can The dough is lifted and lowered by the second lifting assembly 143, which is arranged at the bottom of the rotating barrel 141. The second lifting assembly 143 can lift and move the inner barrel 142 out of the rotating barrel 141. Therefore, during fermentation, when fermentation is completed, the inner barrel 142 can be moved out of the rotating barrel 141 by the second lifting assembly 143, so that the inner barrel 142 is lifted and positioned outside the box body 1, thereby facilitating users to take out the dough. In addition, the second lifting assembly 143 has the same structure as the first lifting assembly 13 and can be set as a folding lifting structure, and both the second lifting assembly 143 and the second lifting assembly 143 are activated by electric push rods.

[0038] When the inner barrel 142 is moved out of the box body 1, since the well of the inner barrel 142 is too deep, when the dough is turned upside down and taken out, it will be inconvenient to operate because the dough is stuck to the inner barrel 142. Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the inner barrel 142 is configured to be composed of a half barrel 1 1421 and a half barrel 2 1422 that are split in half. The half barrel 1 1421 and the half barrel 2 1422 fit together to form the inner barrel 142. When the inner barrel 142 is moved out of the box body 1, the user can separate the half barrel 1 1421 and the half barrel 2 1422, thereby exposing the dough and facilitating the removal of the dough. When fermenting, the half barrel 1 1421 and the half barrel 2 1422 are inserted into the rotating barrel 141. Inside, the half barrel 1421 and the half barrel 2 1422 are limited by rotating the barrel 141, so that the half barrel 1421 and the half barrel 2 1422 are fitted together to form the inner barrel 142. In order to improve the sealing performance of the joint between the half barrel 1421 and the half barrel 2 1422, a rubber pad 17 is provided at the joint between the half barrel 1421 and the half barrel 2 1422. Thus, by limiting the position of the inner wall of the rotating barrel 141, the half barrel 1421 and the half barrel 2 1422 are tightly fitted together.

[0039] Since the dough may not be fermented enough when being monitored, it is necessary to continue fermenting and then monitor again. Therefore, during the second monitoring, it is necessary to avoid the concave holes and shovels dug in the first monitoring. Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the control column 524 and the shovel plate 10 are set to be eccentric to the inner barrel 142, and the rotating barrel 141 is set to be rotatable, so that when the control column 524 is pressed down to generate a concave hole, the concave hole will be located at the eccentric position of the dough, and the digging hole generated by the shovel plate 10 will also be located at the eccentric position. Therefore, when performing a second monitoring, the rotating barrel 141 can be rotated so that the control column 524 and the shovel plate 10 can avoid the concave hole and digging hole of the first monitoring during the second monitoring.

[0040] Since the outer wall of the inner barrel 142 is in contact with and slides with the inner wall of the rotating barrel 141, in order to prevent the inner barrel 142 from slipping inside the rotating barrel 141 when the rotating barrel 141 rotates, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a straight edge 18 is provided on the outer wall of the inner barrel 142, and at least two straight edges 18 are provided, so that the straight edges 18 can limit the position of the inner barrel 142 when it is inserted into the interior of the rotating barrel 141, thereby preventing the inner barrel 142 from slipping inside the rotating barrel 141;

[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 8As shown, the remote monitoring system 12 includes a single-chip microcomputer, a first camera 121, a second camera 122, a distance sensor 123, a GPRS controller and a mobile phone terminal, wherein the first camera 121 and the second camera 122 are both installed below the rotating plate 7, and the first camera 121 is located directly below the control column 524 to observe the concave hole generated by the control column 524, while the second camera 122 observes the internal air holes of the dough through the digging pit generated by the shovel plate 10. The mobile phone terminal is communicatively connected to the first camera 121, the second camera 122, the distance sensor 123 and the GPRS controller, the GPRS controller is connected to the single-chip microcomputer, and the single-chip microcomputer is respectively connected to the drive motor 16, the first electric push rod 3, the second electric push rod 527, the first lifting component 13 and the second lifting component 143 through relays, and the mobile phone terminal is provided with an APP module The images captured by the first camera 121 and the second camera 122 can be transmitted to the mobile phone terminal via a wireless network, and the images captured by the first camera 121 and the second camera 122 can be viewed on the mobile phone terminal, and the distance sensor 123 is arranged below the rotating plate 7, and the distance sensor 123 is located at the vertical center of the inner barrel 142, so that the distance sensor 123 can measure the height of the top of the center of the dough. The distance sensor 123 can measure the height of the top of the dough inside the inner barrel 142. Therefore, by observing the height of the dough, the expansion degree of the dough after fermentation can be judged, and the fermentation state of the dough can be judged by combining the volume method, the pore observation method and the concave hole observation method to improve the judgment accuracy. In addition, the distance sensor 123 can be used to measure the height of dough of different volumes, so as to adjust the height of the control column 524 according to the different volumes of dough;

[0042] The APP module is provided with corresponding control instructions, and the GPRS controller switch is used as the input end of the single-chip microcomputer. The APP module of the mobile phone terminal is used to remotely control the single-chip microcomputer, thereby realizing remote control of the opening and closing of the drive motor 16, the first electric push rod 3, the second electric push rod 527, the first lifting assembly 13 and the second lifting assembly 143, thereby realizing the function of remote operation trigger mechanism.

[0043] The principle of the present invention is as follows: when the present invention is used, the dough is placed inside the inner barrel 142, the box cover 2 is closed, and the dough is fermented. At the same time, the height of the initial dough is measured by the distance sensor 123. After the fermentation time is reached, the user can observe the difference between the height measured by the distance sensor 123 and the initial height of the dough through the mobile phone APP to judge the expansion degree of the dough, and according to the height measured by the distance sensor 123, choose to adjust the height of the control column 524, control the first lifting component 13 to start through the mobile phone APP, and adjust the height of the control column 524. After the adjustment is completed, the control column 524 contacts the dough under the downward pressure of the second electric push rod 527 and forms a concave hole. At the same time, the rotating plate 7 rotates to shovel the dough through the shovel plate 10 to expose the air holes inside the dough, and the first camera 121 and the second camera 122 will monitor the concave holes and air holes, and the user can observe them through the mobile phone APP, so that the user can make a combined judgment on the dough fermentation situation with reference to the changes in the dough volume, the changes in the internal air holes and the concave holes. When the fermentation is not completed after observation, the dough will continue to ferment and then undergo a secondary monitoring. During the secondary monitoring, the drive motor 16 is started through the mobile phone APP to rotate the rotating barrel 141, so that the control column 524 and the shovel plate 10 can avoid the concave holes and digging holes monitored for the first time, and then the control column 524 is pressed down again to form concave holes and digging pits for secondary monitoring. When the dough fermentation is completed, the user can start the first electric push rod 3 through the mobile phone APP to open the box cover 2, and then start the second lifting component 143 to make the inner barrel 142 rise and move out. The user can go to the fermentation place to take out the dough for subsequent operations.
