Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bread fermentation, and more specifically, it relates to a dough fermentation machine with uniform heat distribution. Background Art

[0002] Dough fermentation mainly utilizes carbon dioxide and other components produced by yeast during its life activities to make the dough fluffy and elastic. Bread fermentation requires maintaining appropriate temperature and humidity to ensure the activity and fermentation efficiency of yeast.

[0003] During the bread fermentation process, a fermentation machine is needed for fermentation. Through the fermentation chamber, the temperature and humidity of the environment where the dough is located can be controlled. Workers will arrange multiple kneaded doughs equidistantly on the trays in the fermentation chamber, and then only need to pay attention to the size of the dough during the fermentation process.

[0004] A patent with the publication number CN118355932A discloses a bread blank fermentation device and method. Through the storage unit, the fermentation of the bread blank can be monitored in real time. When the bread blank ferments to the most suitable size, it can be immediately discharged from the storage box and temporarily stored at the discharge port under the guidance of other structures inside the box. This not only facilitates the workers to take the fermented bread blank, but also makes the bread fermentation process more accurate, and avoids the time-consuming and laborious process of workers pulling the fixed plate back and forth to confirm the bread fermentation situation.

[0005] This invention can reduce the number of times of pulling out the bread embryo from the fermentation machine to confirm the fermentation situation. However, when multiple layers of fermentation trays are set on the fermentation machine to place the dough, the air fluidity between the trays is poor, and the heating parts of the fermentation machine are located on both sides of the fermentation machine. The temperature of the dough in the middle is lower than that of the dough on the outside during fermentation, making the temperature and humidity between the trays uneven, which easily affects the fermentation time and effect of the dough.

[0006] Therefore, a new solution is needed to solve this problem. Summary of the Invention

[0027] A dough fermenter with uniform heat, as Figures 1-5 shown, includes a fermenter body 1. The door of the fermenter body 1 is made of glass, and the internal dough fermentation situation can be directly observed. A partition plate 2 is fixedly connected inside the fermenter body 1. A number of through grooves 3 are opened on the partition plate 2. A tray 4 is slidably connected to the partition plate 2. A number of placement grooves 5 are opened on the tray 4. The placement grooves 5 are used for placing the dough to be fermented. A channel 6 is opened between the number of placement grooves 5. A number of air vents 7 are opened on the channel 6. A heating mechanism for heating the channel 6 is provided inside the fermenter body 1. A water tank 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fermenter body 1. An atomizer 9 is arranged on the top of the water tank 8. The air outlet end of the atomizer 9 is provided with a gas guide pipe 10. The gas guide pipe 10 extends to the channel 6. An exhaust mechanism for dough exhaust is arranged on the partition plate 2. The channel 6 is horizontally arranged between two placement grooves 5. The channel 6 can be heated by the heating mechanism, so that there is a heat source between two doughs, achieving the effect of uniform heating of the dough. The water tank 8 is used for storing pure water and can be connected to an external water purifier to make the water meet the edible standard. A thermostat is arranged inside the water tank 8, and people can adjust the water temperature according to actual needs. The atomizer 9 atomizes the water in the water tank 8 by ultrasonic waves and then transports it to the channel 6 through the gas guide pipe 10, increasing the humidity on both sides of the channel 6 and enabling the dough fermentation to reach the required temperature and humidity. A temperature and humidity detector is arranged on the side of the placement groove 5, and the operator can change the water output of the atomizer 9 and the water temperature in the water tank 8 in real time according to actual needs, which is convenient to operate.

[0028] In one embodiment, the heating mechanism includes a plurality of heating tubes 11. A water pump 12 is provided on the water tank 8. The water outlet end of the water pump 12 is detachably connected to a water pipe. The water pipe is bent and disposed inside the heating tube 11. One end of the water pipe away from the water pump 12 is inserted into the water tank 8. The heating tube 11 is slidably connected to the top surface of the channel 6 through a driving member. The driving member includes a cylinder 13 and a corrugated pipe 14. The top of the corrugated pipe 14 is connected to the fermentation machine body 1. One end of the corrugated pipe 14 away from the partition plate 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the heating tube 11. A support rod 15 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the heating tube 11. The cylinder 13 is fixedly connected to the fermentation machine body 1. The piston end of the cylinder 13 is connected to the support rod 15. The inside of the heating tube 11 is hollow and is used to accommodate the water pipe. The two ends of the water pipe are respectively connected to the inside of the water pump 12 and the water tank 8. During the flow of the water in the water pipe, the heated water can be transported into the heating tube 11. The heating tube 11 can be pushed up and down by the cylinder 13. As the piston on the cylinder 13 moves, the corrugated pipe 14 can be stretched and shortened. The corrugated pipe 14 and the heating tube 11 can cover the water pipe inside them, so that the heat of the water pipe can be radiated to the surface of the heating tube 11, improving the temperature uniformity during heating, and thus enabling the temperature around the dough to remain stable.

[0029] After the first fermentation is completed, the dough needs to be degassed. Through the degassing mechanism, the dough can be degassed after the first fermentation without taking out the dough, reducing the change of temperature and humidity inside the fermentation machine body 1, thereby improving the fermentation efficiency. The degassing mechanism includes a degassing plate 16 and a degassing rod 17. The degassing rod 17 is fixedly connected to the degassing plate 16. The degassing plate 16 is disposed on the outer wall of the heating tube 11. The degassing rod 17 is slidably connected above the placement groove 5. The pressing operation of the cylinder 13 can be divided into two parts. The first part is to press down the heating tube 11 to make the heating tube 11 close to the dough. The second part is to further press down to degas the dough. When the cylinder 13 completes the first pressing, there is a gap between the degassing plate 16 and the degassing rod 17 and the dough, preventing the degassing rod 17 from contacting the dough. After the fermentation is completed, the cylinder 13 completes the second pressing, so that the degassing rod 17 is inserted into the dough, so that the larger air bubbles inside the dough are pricked to achieve deflation, ensuring that the voids inside the dough are uniform.

[0030] Further, there is a receiving box 18 disposed above the exhaust plate 16. An anti-sticking agent is provided in the receiving box 18. The anti-sticking agent is edible oil, and the edible oil can be selected from corn oil and salad oil, which is colorless and odorless and has little impact on the taste of the bread. The receiving box 18 is fixedly connected to the fermentation machine body 1. A plurality of discharge ports 19 are opened at the bottom of the receiving box 18. Rubber plugs 20 are provided at the discharge ports 19. The positions of the discharge ports 19 correspond to the positions of the exhaust rods 17. A turning assembly for turning the exhaust plate 16 is provided in the fermentation machine body 1. The receiving box 18 is inverted on the top of the exhaust plate 16. When it is necessary to exhaust the dough, the exhaust plate 16 is turned by the turning assembly, and then the exhaust rod 17 is pushed to insert into the receiving box 18 from the rubber plug 20, so that the surface of the exhaust rod 17 is coated with the anti-sticking agent. Then, the exhaust plate 16 is operated in the reverse direction to turn the exhaust plate 16, so that the exhaust plate 16 exhausts the dough. The anti-sticking agent can prevent the dough from sticking to the exhaust rod 17. The turning assembly includes a rack 21 and a gear 22. The rack 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fermentation machine body 1, and the gear 22 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the exhaust plate 16. The rack 21 is disposed on one side of the fermentation machine body 1 close to the receiving box 18. There is a blank section at both the upper and lower ends of the rack 21. Protective plates are provided on both sides of the rack 21, which can enable the gear 22 to move inside the protective plates to prevent the gear 22 from disengaging. When the gear 22 contacts the rack 21, the gear 22 rotates, thereby driving the exhaust plate 16 to turn until the exhaust plate 16 turns 180 degrees, and then it is translated to the position of the receiving box 18. Then, the exhaust plate 16 is turned in the reverse direction. After returning to the original position, it continues to move downward, thereby exhausting the dough.

[0031] In one embodiment, a plurality of through holes 23 are opened on the air guide pipe 10. A baffle 24 is fixedly connected at the through holes 23. A space for placing the dough is formed between the baffle 24 and the tray 4. The atomized water vapor can be discharged from the through holes 23. Since there is a baffle 24 between the through holes 23 and the dough, the baffle 24 can block the water vapor to prevent it from directly contacting the surface of the dough and affecting the dough, so that the dough is softened.

[0032] The usage mode of the present invention is as follows:

[0033] When fermenting the dough, the dough can be first arranged at the center of the placement groove 5 for standby. Then, close the fermentation machine body 1 and preheat the inside of the fermentation machine to an appropriate temperature and humidity. Next, place the tray 4 on the partition plate 2 to start the fermentation. During this period, start the water pump to make the water in the water tank 8 flow through the water pipe and reach the heating pipe 11 to heat the dough, so that the dough can be heated evenly, ensuring the uniformity of fermentation. After the first fermentation is completed, the air cylinder 13 can be started in reverse to drive the exhaust plate 16 to move upward. At this time, the gear 22 on the side of the exhaust plate 16 can rotate on the rack 21, so that the exhaust plate 16 flips. Then, continue to move the exhaust plate 16 upward to push the exhaust rod 17 to insert into the receiving box 18 from the rubber plug 20. The surface of the exhaust rod 17 is coated with an anti-sticking agent. After the coating is completed, control the air cylinder 13 in reverse to move the piston downward to realize the flipping of the exhaust plate 16. In this process, the dough can be exhausted without taking out the dough, ensuring the stability of the dough fermentation.
