[0021] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] (1) After the fermented dough is taken out, the present invention first injects a certain amount of water into the fermentation tank to prevent the residue from hardening, and then starts the motor. Through the setting of the auxiliary cleaning component and the cleaning mechanism, the fermentation tank can be cleaned first, and the waste water can be discharged automatically afterwards, thereby avoiding the situation of manual cleaning.

[0023] (2) The present invention can achieve comprehensive cleaning of the fermentation tank by controlling the motor to have different rotation speeds. When the rotation speed is low, the cleaning component contacts the trapezoidal block, and the cleaning disk is located in the middle of the fermentation tank. When the transmission shaft and the rotating disk rotate, the trapezoidal block and the middle of the bottom wall of the fermentation tank can be initially cleaned.

[0024] When the speed is high, the scraper rotates, and the arc surface will fit with the inner wall of the fermentation cylinder. Cooperating with the column to rotate inside the fermentation cylinder, the dough residue on the side wall of the fermentation cylinder can be scraped off. In addition, the cleaning disc will move to the edge of the fermentation cylinder to clean the bottom edge of the fermentation cylinder, so as to achieve comprehensive cleaning of the fermentation cylinder.

[0025] (2) The present invention utilizes the effect of centrifugal force to change the state of the auxiliary cleaning component and the cleaning mechanism when the motor rotates at a high speed;

[0026] Initially, the scraper is on the inner side of the column and will not directly contact the inner wall of the fermentation tank when the fermentation tank and the upper cover are close. Then, the inertia generated by the high speed of the motor is used to make the scraper rotate and then fit the inner wall of the fermentation tank to perform cleaning work, thereby avoiding damage caused by collision between the scraper and the fermentation tank.

[0027] (3) The present invention provides vortex blades and baffles, and the vortex blades rotate with the transmission shaft, so that water can circulate inside the fermentation tank. With the baffles arranged at an angle, the water flow can drive the cleaning disk to rotate, thereby enhancing the cleaning effect of the cleaning disk and increasing the practicality of the device.

[0028] In addition, the direction of the water flow driven by the vortex blades is opposite to the direction of rotation of the scraper, so that the water flow can impact the residues adhering to the protrusions, thereby cleaning the scraper without the need for subsequent cleaning of the scraper.

[0029] (4) When the cleaning disk of the present invention rotates with the transmission shaft, it is affected by the centrifugal force and the inclined setting of the cylindrical cavity. When the steel ball slides inside the cylindrical cavity, it will exert a vertical downward force on the cleaning disk, thereby pushing the cleaning disk, the pressure plate and the trapezoidal block downward, so that the trapezoidal mouth is in an open state. The waste water inside the fermentation tank can pass through the gap between the trapezoidal mouth and the trapezoidal block, and then be discharged through the drain pipe, thereby increasing the practicality of the device.

[0030] Of course, any product implementing the present invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0069] In addition, by disposing the roller 701 , the friction between the arc plate 53 and the arc movable plate 7 is reduced, thereby extending the service life of the arc movable plate 7 and the arc plate 53 .

[0070] Example 5

[0071] See also Fig.12 As shown, a column 75 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pinion 72, a scraper 76 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the column 75, a protrusion 761 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the scraper 76 away from one end of the column 75, and an arc surface 762 is provided on the side wall of the scraper 76 away from one end of the column 75 and away from the protrusion 761. A cleaning disk 77 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the column 75, bristles 763 are installed at the bottom of the cleaning disk 77, and an inclined baffle 771 is fixedly installed on the upper surface edge of the cleaning disk 77.

[0072] And through the setting of the baffle 771, when the vortex blade 55 rotates with the transmission shaft 5, the water can circulate inside the fermentation cylinder 3. With the inclined setting of the baffle 771, the water flow can push the cleaning plate 77 to rotate, thereby enhancing the cleaning effect of the cleaning plate 77.

[0073] When in use, the door panel 133 is removed, the motor 11 is controlled to rotate, the two sets of sliders 112 are slid, and the movable platform 2 is driven to move to the cabinet door 13, and then the movable platform 2 is pulled out from the inside of the mounting frame 21, and the fermentation cylinder 3 can be taken out, and then the dough to be fermented is put into the fermentation cylinder 3, or the dough can be directly kneaded in the fermentation cylinder 3, and then the movable platform 2 and the fermentation cylinder 3 are pushed into the cabinet 1, and the cabinet door 13 is closed to carry out the fermentation process;

[0074] When the fermentation is completed, the cabinet door 13 is opened again to pull out the fermentation cylinder 3, so as to take out the fermented dough;

[0075] After that, the fermentation cylinder 3 is cleaned, a certain amount of water is injected into the fermentation cylinder 3, the fermentation cylinder 3 is pushed into the cabinet 1, the motor 11 is started, the support rod 22 is driven to rotate by the movement of the slider 112, and the fermentation cylinder 3 is lifted to the top of the cabinet 1 until the upper cover 4 closes the fermentation cylinder 3;

[0076] During this process, the pressing plate 541 contacts the trapezoidal block 34, the cleaning assembly 57 contacts the trapezoidal block 34, the bristles 763 at the bottom of the cleaning plate 77 contact the bottom inner wall of the fermentation cylinder 3, and the scraper 76 is located on the inner side of the column 75, and will not directly contact the inner wall of the fermentation cylinder 3 when the fermentation cylinder 3 and the upper cover 4 are close, thereby avoiding the scraper 76 from colliding with the fermentation cylinder 3;

[0077] Then, the motor 41 is started to drive the driving gear 42 to rotate. The driving gear 42 is connected with the transmission gear 51 and the inner gear ring 61, and the transmission shaft 5 and the rotating disk 6 rotate synchronously and in opposite directions. The rotation speed of the transmission shaft 5 is greater than the rotation speed of the rotating disk 6.

[0078] When the motor 41 starts working, the rotation speed is low, the transmission shaft 5 and the rotating disk 6 rotate synchronously, and the cleaning assembly 57 and the cleaning disk 77 respectively perform the initial cleaning on the trapezoidal block 34 and the bottom inner wall of the fermentation cylinder 3;

[0079] When the first cleaning is completed, the speed of the motor 41 increases. Due to the effect of inertia, the arc plate 53 will move away from the disc 52 and squeeze the arc movable plate 7. The setting of the roller 701 reduces the friction between the arc plate 53 and the arc movable plate 7, thereby extending the service life of the arc movable plate 7 and the arc plate 53.

[0080] At the same time, the arc-shaped movable plate 7 is squeezed and moves toward the edge of the rotating disk 6, the pinion 72 rotates along the rack 632, the angle between each set of rotating plates 73 increases and pushes the sleeve 74 to slide on the crossbar 62, and the spring three 621 is compressed;

[0081] Therefore, while the pinion 72 rotates along the rack 632, the column 75 rotates synchronously until the arc surface 762 fits the inner wall of the fermentation cylinder 3, and the column 75 rotates inside the fermentation cylinder 3 to scrape off the dough residue on the side wall of the fermentation cylinder 3. The protrusion 761 can prevent the dough residue from sticking to the scraper 76, and the scraper 76 needs to be cleaned later.

[0082] And the cleaning plate 77 will move to the edge of the fermentation cylinder 3 to clean the bottom edge of the fermentation cylinder 3, so as to achieve comprehensive cleaning of the fermentation cylinder 3;

[0083] Since a certain amount of water is stored inside the fermentation cylinder 3, when the cleaning disc 56 rotates with the transmission shaft 5, the steel ball 564 will slide inside the cylindrical cavity 562 under the action of centrifugal force, and the spring 563 will be compressed. Moreover, due to the inclined setting of the cylindrical cavity 562, when the steel ball 564 moves, it will exert a vertical downward force on the cleaning disc 56, thereby pushing the cleaning disc 56 and the pressure plate 541 to move downward, and then pushing the trapezoidal block 34 to move downward, so that the trapezoidal opening 31 is in an open state, and the waste water inside the fermentation cylinder 3 can pass through the gap between the trapezoidal opening 31 and the trapezoidal block 34, and then be discharged through the drain pipe 14;

[0084] Furthermore, by setting the vortex blade 55 and the baffle 771, the vortex blade 55 rotates along with the transmission shaft 5, so that the water can circulate and rotate inside the fermentation cylinder 3. With the baffle 771 being set obliquely, the water flow can drive the cleaning disk 77 to rotate, thereby enhancing the cleaning effect of the cleaning disk 77 and increasing the practicality of the device.

[0085] In addition, the direction of the water flow driven by the vortex blades 55 is opposite to the direction of rotation of the scraper 76, so that the water flow can impact the residues adhering to the protrusion 761, thereby cleaning the scraper 76 without the need to clean the scraper 76 later.
