Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of proofing boxes, and in particular to a multifunctional proofing box with humidity regulation. Background Art

[0002] During the fermentation of the dough in the proofer, the yeast breaks down the sugar in the dough through metabolism to obtain energy, and produces carbon dioxide gas in the process. These carbon dioxide bubbles gradually accumulate inside the dough, causing the dough to expand in volume. Although a certain amount of space has been reserved when the dough is manually placed to accommodate the increase in volume after fermentation, there are individual differences in the size of handmade dough, and it is difficult for the operator to accurately control the distance between each dough. Therefore, during the fermentation process, some doughs will still come into contact with or even stick to each other, destroying the originally set ideal shape and adversely affecting the appearance of the final baked product. Summary of the invention

[0007] As a further preferred solution, scale lines are provided on the front connecting plate.

[0008] As a further preferred solution, each fixing block is arranged to be in damping sliding connection with an adjacent limiting rod.

[0009] As a further preferred scheme, the positioning assembly includes connecting strips, positioning blocks and moving blocks; two connecting strips are rotatably connected between every two adjacent connecting blocks, and every two adjacent connecting strips are rotatably connected through a torsion spring; a positioning block for assisting in manually placing dough is rotatably connected between every two adjacent connecting strips; a slide groove is provided on the front connecting plate; a number of moving blocks are slidably connected to the slide groove, and each moving block is slidably connected to an adjacent positioning block.

[0019] A plurality of curved surfaces 4003 are provided on the left side and the right side of each baffle 4 .

[0020] The limiting assembly includes a fixed block 101 and a limiting rod 102; a connecting block 4004 is provided on the front side of each baffle 4; a fixed block 101 is fixedly connected to each connecting block 4004; a limiting rod 102 is slidably connected to each fixed block 101; a plurality of limiting holes 5002 are provided on each connecting plate 5, and the aperture of each limiting hole 5002 is larger than the diameter of the limiting rod 102.

[0021] A scale line 5004 is provided on the front connecting plate 5 .

[0022] Each fixing block 101 is arranged to be in damping sliding connection with the adjacent limiting rod 102 .

[0023] The positioning assembly includes a connecting strip 201, a positioning block 202 and a moving block 203; two connecting strips 201 are rotatably connected between every two adjacent connecting blocks 4004, and every two adjacent connecting strips 201 are rotatably connected through a torsion spring; a positioning block 202 is rotatably connected between every two adjacent connecting strips 201; a sliding groove 5003 is provided on the front connecting plate 5; a plurality of moving blocks 203 are slidably connected to the sliding groove 5003, and each moving block 203 is slidably connected to the adjacent positioning block 202.

[0024] The sizes of the manually kneaded dough 6 vary, and it is difficult to control the distance during the manual placement process. Therefore, some doughs 6 will still stick to adjacent doughs 6 after proofing, causing the originally designed shape of the dough 6 to deform, affecting the appearance of the baked product.

[0025] The working steps of this embodiment are: First, manually move the baffles 4 on the proofing tray 3 from left to right in sequence according to the size of the dough 6 that needs to be proofed, so that the intervals between adjacent baffles 4 are sufficient to accommodate the volume growth of most of the dough 6 after proofing. After the distance adjustment of each baffle 4 is completed, push the limiting rod 102 to insert it into the adjacent limiting hole 5002 on the connecting plate 5, so as to limit and fix each baffle 4, and then place the dough 6 between the four adjacent positioning parts 4002 in the proofing tray 3 according to the positioning parts 4002 on the baffle 4, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, it assists in placing the dough 6 manually and prevents the adjacent doughs 6 from sticking together after proofing due to being placed too close to each other to the greatest extent. If some larger doughs 6 expand around after proofing, the baffle 4 is used to isolate the adjacent doughs 6, thereby preventing the adjacent doughs 6 from sticking together, making them difficult to separate and affecting the appearance of the subsequent baked products.

[0026] When the dough 6 is expanded and fitted onto the baffle 4 by the curved surface 4003, the original curved surface state of the dough 6 is maintained to the greatest extent, so that the dough 6 can be easily trimmed when the dough 6 is manually separated from the baffle 4 later, thereby reducing the degree of damage to the shape of the dough 6.

[0027] When the interval of the baffles 4 is manually adjusted according to the size of the dough 6, the slider 4001 of the baffle 4 slides in the connecting groove 5001 of the connecting plate 5. Since the two adjacent connecting strips 201 are rotationally connected by the torsion spring, and the positioning block 202 passes through the moving block 203 and is rotationally connected to the two connecting parts of the adjacent connecting strips 201, the positioning block 202 always remains in a vertical state. Therefore, the connecting part of the two adjacent connecting strips 201 is always located in the middle position of the two adjacent baffles 4, thereby driving the positioning block 202 to move with the center part of the two adjacent baffles 4. The moving block 203 will slide on the slide groove 5003 following the positioning block 202, and the middle position between the two adjacent baffles 4 is determined by the positioning block 202, which assists in manually placing the dough 6 in the middle of the two adjacent baffles 4, and prevents the manual placement of the dough 6 and the adjacent baffles 4 from being improperly controlled when the dough 6 is placed, resulting in excessive adhesion between the dough 6 and one of the baffles 4 after proofing, thereby increasing the difficulty of separating the dough 6 from the baffle 4 in the later stage.

[0028] At the same time, the scale line 5004 allows the operator to roughly calculate the volume of the dough 6 that will expand in the later stage according to the characteristics of the dough 6 and baking experience, thereby more accurately controlling the distance between adjacent baffles 4 and improving the degree of protection of the shape of the dough 6.

[0029] When the dough 6 is laid out, the proofing tray 3 is placed on the partition 1001 of the proofing box 1 in turn. The fixed block 101 and the adjacent limiting rod 102 are set as a damping sliding connection to prevent the limiting rod 102 from escaping from the limiting hole 5002 of the connecting plate 5 when the proofing tray 3 is moved manually, causing the baffle 4 to be out of the restriction and slide left and right in the connecting groove 5001 of the connecting plate 5, touching the dough 6 that has not yet proofed, and affecting the appearance of the dough 6 after proofing.

[0030] When the proofing tray 3 is placed, the door of the proofing box 1 is closed, and the proofing box 1 is started. Then, the humidity change in the proofing box 1 is sensed by the humidity sensor 2, and the humidity data is transmitted to the proofing box 1. Then, the proofing box 1 adjusts the humidity in the box in real time.

[0031] Example 2 On the basis of Example 1, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6-Figure 8 As shown, it also includes an extrusion plate 301; the proofing plate 3 and the connecting plate 5 are set to be slidably connected; a placement cavity 5005 is set on the connecting plate 5 located in the front; the extrusion plate 301 is slidably connected in the placement cavity 5005; a plurality of protrusions are set on the extrusion plate 301, and each protrusion is located behind the adjacent limiting hole 5002.

[0032] It also includes a fixing plate 302 and a cleaning block 303; the fixing plate 302 is detachably connected to the connecting plate 5 at the rear; the cleaning block 303 is arranged on the fixing plate 302, and the cleaning block 303 is made of sponge material.

[0033] A plurality of separation grooves 30301 are provided on the cleaning block 303 .

[0034] The fixing plate 302 and the cleaning block 303 are arranged to be detachably connected.

[0035] The working principle of this embodiment is: When the dough 6 is proofed, the proofing tray 3 is manually taken out of the proofing box 1, and the dough 6 adhering to the baffle 4 is first manually separated and trimmed, and then the two connecting plates 5 are lifted upward, so that the connecting plates 5 drive the baffle 4 to separate from the proofing tray 3. Figure 8 As shown, at this time, the dough 6 is all on the proofing tray 3, and then the dough 6 on the proofing tray 3 is manually processed and moved to the baking device to complete baking, and then the baffle 4 and the connecting plate 5 are further installed in another empty proofing tray 3, thereby improving the ease of use of the device.

[0036] When the size of the dough 6 is different from that of the previous batch, the operator only needs to press the left and right ends of the extrusion plate 301 with hands and push the extrusion plate 301 forward, so that the convex part on the extrusion plate 301 squeezes the limiting rod 102 in the limiting hole 5002 of the connecting plate 5 forward, so that the limiting rod 102 is separated from the connecting plate 5, thereby eliminating the need to manually pull the limiting rods 102 out of the limiting holes 5002 one by one, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0037] After the baffle plate 4 and the connecting plate 5 are separated from the proofing tray 3, part of the dough 6 will stick to the baffle plate 4 after proofing. If the dough 6 crumbs stuck to the baffle plate 4 are not processed in time, the dough 6 crumbs will solidify on the baffle plate 4, which will not only affect the proofing effect of the next batch of dough 6, but also increase the difficulty of cleaning the baffle plate 4 at a later stage. Therefore, when the baffle plate 4 and the connecting plate 5 are separated from the proofing tray 3, the manual operation only needs to remove the fixing plate 302 and the cleaning block 303 from the connecting plate 5, and rotate the fixing plate 302 upwards so that the fixing plate 302 and the cleaning block 303 are located on the same plane, just like a long Brush, since the cleaning block 303 is made of sponge material, the cleaning block 303 will be turned into a wet state during the proofing process of the dough 6, and there are several dividing grooves 30301 on the cleaning block 303, so the person only needs to insert it downward on the baffle 4 to wrap the contact part of the baffle 4 with the cleaning block 303, and then the person only needs to move the cleaning block 303 back and forth repeatedly to clean the dough 6 crumbs remaining on the baffle 4, thereby preventing the remaining dough 6 crumbs from solidifying on the baffle 4, avoiding damage to the subsequent dough 6, and preventing the ingredients between the dough 6 from mixing together, affecting the taste of the dough 6.

[0038] Since the fixing plate 302 and the cleaning block 303 are detachably connected, it is convenient to manually replace the cleaning block 303, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning block 303 on the baffle 4.

[0039] The above is a detailed introduction to the present application. Specific examples are used in this article to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method of the present application and its core idea. At the same time, for general technical personnel in this field, according to the idea of ​​the present application, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.
