[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. Then, the motor is started. 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, avoiding the situation of manual cleaning.

[0023] (2) The present invention can achieve comprehensive cleaning of the fermentation tank by controlling the motor's different speeds. When the 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 drive 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 fits against the inner wall of the fermentation tank. Cooperating with the column to rotate inside the fermentation tank, the dough residue on the side wall of the fermentation tank can be scraped off. In addition, the cleaning disc will move to the edge of the fermentation tank to clean the bottom edge of the fermentation tank, thereby achieving comprehensive cleaning of the fermentation tank.

[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 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 to each other. Then, the inertia generated by the high speed of the motor is used to rotate the scraper and then fit into the inner wall of the fermentation tank to perform cleaning work, avoiding damage caused by collision between the scraper and the fermentation tank.

[0027] (3) The present invention provides a vortex blade and a baffle, and the vortex blade rotates along with the transmission shaft, thereby causing water to circulate inside the fermentation tank. Combined with the inclined setting of the baffle, 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 residue adhering to the protrusions, thereby cleaning the scraper without the need for subsequent cleaning of the scraper.

[0029] (4) When the cleaning disc of the present invention rotates with the transmission shaft, it is affected by the centrifugal force and the cylindrical cavity is tilted. When the steel ball slides inside the cylindrical cavity, it will exert a vertical downward force on the cleaning disc, thereby pushing the cleaning disc, 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

[0058] The trapezoidal opening 31 is sealed by the trapezoidal block 34 to prevent the dough from overflowing from the trapezoidal opening 31 during fermentation.

[0059] Example 3

[0060] See also Figure 6 - Figure 8 As shown, a motor 41 is fixedly installed on the top of the upper cover 4, and a driving gear 42 is fixedly installed on the output end of the motor 41 through the upper cover 4. A transmission gear 51 and a disc 52 are fixedly installed on the top of the transmission shaft 5 in sequence, and the driving gear 42 is transmission-connected to the transmission gear 51.

[0061] A plurality of deep holes 521 are evenly formed on the side wall of the disk 52. A plurality of arc-shaped plates 53 are evenly arranged around the disk 52. Round rods 531 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the arc-shaped plates 53. The round rods 531 are slidably arranged inside the deep holes 521. The arc-shaped plates 53 are arranged between the disk 52 and the arc-shaped movable plate 7.

[0062] By taking advantage of the effect of inertia, when the transmission shaft 5 rotates at high speed, the curved plate 53 will move away from the disc 52 and squeeze the curved movable plate 7, thereby pushing the curved plate 53 and the scraper 76 at the bottom to rotate and fit against the inner wall of the fermentation tank 3, facilitating subsequent cleaning work.

[0063] A cylindrical hole 501 is provided at the center axis of the transmission shaft 5, and a limiting strip 502 is fixedly connected to the bottom side wall of the transmission shaft 5. A central shaft 54 ​​is rotatably installed inside the cylindrical hole 501.

A second spring 563 and a steel ball 564 are disposed inside the groove 561. The steel ball 564 is located at the bottom of the second spring 563 and on one side of the second spring 563 near the central axis of the transmission shaft 5. A slot 565 is formed on the inner wall of the transmission shaft 5. The limit bar 502 is slidably disposed inside the slot 565.

[0065] During cleaning, the centrifugal force of the steel ball 564 pushes the cleaning disc 56, the pressure plate and the trapezoidal block 34 downward, so that the trapezoidal opening 31 is in an open state, which facilitates the discharge of waste water.

[0066] Example 4

[0067] See also Figure 9 - Figure 11 As shown, an inner gear ring 61 is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating disk 6, and the inner gear ring 61 is transmission-connected to the driving gear 42. A number of cross bars 62 and a number of pairs of fixed plates 63 are evenly fixedly connected on the inner wall of the rotating disk 6. The cross bars 62 and the pairs of fixed plates 63 are staggered. A spring three 621 is sleeved on the cross bars 62. A mounting slide rail 631 is provided between each pair of fixed plates 63. A rack 632 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of one side of each pair of fixed plates 63.

[0068] The interior of the arc-shaped movable plate 7 is rotatably installed with a plurality of rollers 701 running through its inner wall. The outer side wall of the arc-shaped movable plate 7 is fixedly connected with an inserting plate 71. The inserting plate 71 is slidably arranged inside a mounting rail 631. A pinion 72 is rotatably installed inside the inserting plate 71 at one end away from the arc-shaped movable plate 7. The pinion 72 is transmission-connected to the rack 632. A pair of rotating plates 73 is rotatably installed between every two adjacent arc-shaped movable plates 7. A sleeve 74 is rotatably installed at one end of each pair of rotating plates 73 away from the arc-shaped movable plate 7. The sleeves 74 are slidably installed on the corresponding crossbar 62.

[0069] In addition, the provision of the roller 701 reduces the friction between the arc-shaped plate 53 and the arc-shaped movable plate 7 , thereby extending the service life of the arc-shaped movable plate 7 and the arc-shaped plate 53 .

[0070] Example 5

[0071] See also Figure 12 As shown, the bottom of the pinion 72 is fixedly connected to a column 75, and 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. An arc surface 762 is formed 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, and bristles 763 are installed at the bottom of the cleaning disk 77. An inclined baffle 771 is fixedly installed on the edge of the upper surface of the cleaning disk 77.

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

[0073] When in use, the door panel 133 is removed, the motor 11 is controlled to rotate, and the two sets of sliders 112 are slid, driving the movable platform 2 to move to the cabinet door 13. 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. Then, the dough to be fermented is placed in the fermentation cylinder 3, or the dough can be directly kneaded in the fermentation cylinder 3. Then, the movable platform 2 and the fermentation cylinder 3 are pushed into the cabinet 1, and the cabinet door 13 is closed to start the fermentation process.

[0074] When the fermentation is complete, the cabinet door 13 is opened again to pull out the fermentation cylinder 3 so that the fermented dough can be taken out.

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

[0076] During this process, the pressing plate 541 is in contact with the trapezoidal block 34, the cleaning assembly 57 is in contact with the trapezoidal block 34, the bristles 763 at the bottom of the cleaning plate 77 are in contact with the bottom inner wall of the fermentation cylinder 3, and the scraper 76 is located on the inner side of the column 75. When the fermentation cylinder 3 and the upper cover 4 are close to each other, the scraper 76 will not directly contact the inner wall of the fermentation cylinder 3, thereby avoiding collision between the scraper 76 and 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 to the transmission gear 51 and the inner gear ring 61. The transmission shaft 5 and the rotating disk 6 rotate synchronously and in opposite directions. The speed of the transmission shaft 5 is greater than the speed of the rotating disk 6.

[0078] When the motor 41 starts working, the 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 of the trapezoidal block 34 and the bottom inner wall of the fermentation tank 3;

[0079] When the initial cleaning is completed, the speed of the motor 41 increases. Due to the effect of inertia, the curved plate 53 will move away from the disc 52, squeezing the curved movable plate 7. The setting of the roller 701 reduces the friction between the curved plate 53 and the curved movable plate 7, thereby extending the service life of the curved movable plate 7 and the curved 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. The spring 3 621 is compressed.

[0081] Therefore, while the pinion 72 rotates along the rack 632, the column 75 rotates synchronously until the arc surface 762 is in contact with the inner wall of the fermentation cylinder 3. 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, which 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 vat 3, when the cleaning disc 56 rotates along with the transmission shaft 5, it is subjected to the centrifugal force, causing the steel ball 564 to slide inside the cylindrical cavity 562, compressing the spring 2 563. Furthermore, due to the inclined arrangement of the cylindrical cavity 562, when the steel ball 564 moves, it exerts a vertical downward force on the cleaning disc 56, thereby pushing the cleaning disc 56 and the pressure plate 541 downward, and further pushing the trapezoidal block 34 downward, so that the trapezoidal opening 31 is in an open state. The waste water inside the fermentation vat 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 configuring the vortex blades 55 and the baffle 771, the vortex blades 55 rotate along with the transmission shaft 5, thereby causing water to circulate within the fermentation vat 3. Combined with the inclined configuration of the baffle 771, the water flow can drive the cleaning disc 77 to rotate, thereby enhancing the cleaning effect of the cleaning disc 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 residue adhering to the protrusion 761, thereby cleaning the scraper 76 without the need to clean the scraper 76 later.
