[0023] In the figure: 1. Proofing incubator; 2. Load-bearing bracket; 3. Controller; 4. Flip handle; 5. Lower guide wheel assembly; 6. Support frame; 7. Limit assembly; 8. Stop assembly. Specific implementation method:

[0024] Example: See Figure 1 , 2 , 3, and 6, a temperature-adjustable constant-temperature fermentation incubator comprises a rectangular fermentation incubator 1, a fermentation chamber 11 is arranged on the fermentation incubator 1, a controller 3 is arranged in the fermentation incubator 1 below the fermentation chamber 11, and a display screen 31, a temperature adjustment knob 32, and a fermentation time adjustment knob 33 are arranged on the controller 3; opposite bearing brackets 2 are fixedly connected to the inner side walls of the fermentation incubator 1 on both sides of the fermentation chamber 11; the bearing bracket 2 comprises a vertical side plate 21; a plurality of horizontal and vertically linearly distributed The strip board 22 has a supporting protrusion 221 formed on the inner side of the rear end of the strip board 22. Two groups of front and rear distributed rotating feet 23 are abutted on the lower end surface of the strip board 22 in front of the supporting protrusion 221. The rotating feet 23 include a rectangular strip-shaped support plate 231. One end of the support plate 231 close to the side plate 21 abuts against the side plate 21 and is formed with a semicircular plate 232 extending forward. A positioning hole 233 is formed in the center of the semicircular plate 232. A T-shaped positioning pin 24 is inserted in the positioning hole 233. The upper end of the positioning pin 24 is fixedly connected to the strip board 22.

[0025] Flip handles 4 are fixedly connected to both side walls of the fermentation incubator 1. When the position of the fermentation incubator 1 is changed, the flip handles 4 can be used as leverage points, that is, the fermentation incubator 1 can be tilted or upright by holding the flip handles 4.

[0026] like Figure 4 , 5As shown, a lower guide wheel assembly 5 is provided on the lower side of the rear end surface of the proofing incubator 1, and the lower guide wheel assembly 5 includes a transverse lower support shaft 51, and a plurality of lower guide wheels 53 are sleeved on the lower support shaft 51. Lower end seats 52 are fixed to the rear end surface of the proofing incubator 1 by inserting sleeves at both ends of the lower support shaft 51, and the lower end seats 52 are fixed to the rear end surface of the proofing incubator 1; the lower end of the outer wall of the lower guide wheel 53 and the lower end surface of the proofing incubator 1 are at the same level; an inclined support frame 6 is provided in the middle and upper part of the rear end surface of the proofing incubator 1; the support frame 6 and the lower guide wheel assembly 5 cooperate to make the proofing incubator 1 inclined.

[0027] The support frame 6 includes a transverse upper connecting shaft 62, on which a plurality of upper supports 61 are inserted and sleeved, and the upper supports 61 are fixedly connected to the rear end surface of the fermentation incubator 1; both ends of the upper connecting shaft 62 extend out of the upper supports 61 and are inserted and sleeved with oblique support rods 63, between the ends of the oblique support rods 63, a transverse upper support shaft 64 is inserted and fixed, and a plurality of upper guide wheels 65 are sleeved on the upper support shaft 64; the support frame 6 is a movable structure, and when the fermentation incubator 1 is set upright, the support frame 6 can be turned downward to realize that the support frame 6 is set vertically, so as to avoid the fermentation incubator 1 from occupying a large space due to the support frame 6;

[0028] Moreover, the above-mentioned support frame 6 or the lower guide wheel assembly 5 are in contact with the ground through rollers. When the proofing incubator 1 is tilted, the movement of the proofing incubator 1 is convenient based on the rollers, especially when entering or leaving the door, the collision between the proofing incubator 1 and the door frame due to the height can be avoided.

[0029] The rear end surface of the fermentation incubator 1 on the upper side of the upper support 61 is fixedly connected with a limiting assembly 7, which includes a limiting block 71 with a right-angle trapezoidal longitudinal section, and the oblique support rod 63 abuts against the inclined surface at the rear end of the limiting block 71.

[0030] Ear plates 711 are respectively formed on the inclined surfaces at both ends of the limit stopper 71, and positioning bolts 72 are screwed on the ear plates 711. The ends of the positioning bolts 72 are pressed against the inclined support rods 63. The positioning bolts 72 can be used to position the support frame 6 on the limit assembly 7.

[0031] The proofing incubator 1 is provided with a stop assembly 8 on the rear end surface close to the lower guide wheel assembly 5, and the stop assembly 8 includes a connecting block 81 which is transversely fixed to the proofing incubator 1, and a plurality of stop blocks 82 are provided on the connecting block 81. The stop block 82 includes a stop base plate 821, and a regular hexagonal adjusting head 822 is formed on the stop base plate 821, and a stud 823 is formed on the adjusting head 822, and the stud 823 is screwed to the connecting block 81; because the proofing incubator 1 contacts the bottom surface through the roller when it is tilted, the stop base plate 821 on the stop assembly 8 contacts and presses against the ground to limit the movement of the proofing incubator 1, which is equivalent to having a handbrake effect.

[0032] The strips 22 are evenly distributed on the side panels 21 in a linear manner, and the rotating footrests 23 are not arranged on all the strips 22; the rotating footrests 23 are arranged on the strips 22 at intervals.

[0033] The width of the support plate 231 on the rotating footrest 23 is smaller than the width of the strip board 22, and the center distance from the inner side of the strip board 22 to the positioning pin 24 is smaller than the center distance from the end of the support plate 231 away from the positioning pin 24 to the positioning pin 24. When the rotating footrest 23 is flipped over and is perpendicular to the strip board 22, the end of the rotating footrest 23 abuts against the side plate 21 to limit the rotation of the rotating footrest 23, and then the rotating footrest 23 can be placed on the inclined and longer proofing bracket, and bread is grown above the proofing bracket.

[0034] Working principle: This structure is a temperature-adjustable constant-temperature fermentation incubator. The fermentation incubator 1 is normally arranged vertically. The fermentation support can be inserted between the strips 22 of the supporting support 2 and placed on the strips 22. Conventional bread (short bread) can be placed on the fermentation support.

[0035] When the fermentation incubator 1 is tilted, its supporting bracket 2 changes accordingly, and the longer fermentation bracket can be placed on the supporting convex plate 221 of the strip board 22, and the fermentation bracket is supported by the supporting convex plate 221, and the rotating footrest 23 can be rotated to move the rotating footrest 23 out of the strip board 22, so that the fermentation bracket can be placed on the rotating footrest 23; Figure 4 As shown, the proofing incubator 1 can be provided with three layers of proofing racks arranged at the upper and lower parts, and long bread can be placed on the proofing racks for proofing.

[0036] The embodiments are used to illustrate the invention, not to limit the invention. Any person skilled in the art may modify the embodiments without violating the spirit and scope of the invention, and therefore the scope of protection of the invention shall be as set forth in the claims of the invention.
