The second conveyor belt 10 and the first conveyor belt 4 are arranged perpendicular to each other. The first cylinder 11 and the second cylinder 12 are respectively located on both sides of the bottom end of the first conveyor belt 4. The output ends of the first cylinder 11 and the second cylinder 12 are fixedly connected with a push plate 13. The push plate 13 is located above the second conveyor belt 10. A second motor 14 is arranged on the outer wall of the box body 1. The output end of the second motor 14 passes through the box body 1 and is fixedly connected to any conveying roller 9. The first cylinder 11, the second cylinder 12, and the second motor 14 are connected to the control panel 2. When the placement plate 6 drives the dough to move to one side of the bottom end of the first conveyor belt 4, the control panel 2 is used to drive the output end of the first cylinder 11 to extend, thereby driving the push plate 13 toward the first conveyor belt 4, until the push plate 13 pushes the dough on the placement plate 6 onto the second conveyor belt 10, the control panel 2 is used to drive the output end of the second motor 14 to rotate, thereby driving the conveying roller 9 connected thereto to rotate, and at the same time, driven by the remaining conveying rollers 9 and the second conveyor belt 10, the dough is driven to move along the second conveyor belt 10, when the dough moves to correspond to the push plate 13 on the second cylinder 12, the control panel 2 is used to drive the output end of the second cylinder 12 to extend, and then the dough is pushed onto the placement plate 6 of the first conveyor belt 4, the whole process can be adjusted by the control panel 2 The frequency of the extension and retraction of the output ends of the first cylinder 11 and the second cylinder 12 and the conveying speed of the first conveyor belt 4 and the second conveyor belt 10, so that the time for the placement plate 6 to move from one side of the first conveyor belt 4 to the other side is the same as the time for the dough to detach from the placement plate 6 and return to the placement plate 6, thereby improving the level of automation; Furthermore, a baffle 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the placement plate 6 away from the first conveyor belt 4 to prevent the dough from detaching from the placement plate 6 when the first conveyor belt 4 moves; Furthermore, the adjustment assembly includes a plurality of connecting rings 16 sleeved on the side wall of the uppermost rotating roller 3, the top of the connecting ring 16 is fixedly connected with a connecting plate 17 with a width smaller than the through groove 8, the first conveyor belt 4 is provided with a plurality of connecting grooves 18 for the connecting plate 17 to pass through, the end of the connecting plate 17 away from the connecting ring 16 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the limiting plate 7, the bottom of the limiting plate 7 is provided with a rotating groove 19, the connecting plate 17 extends into the rotating groove 19, a threaded rod 20 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 17, a threaded groove 21 threadedly connected to the threaded rod 20 is provided on the inner wall of the rotating groove 19, the width of the rotating groove 19 is greater than the width of the connecting plate 17, and since the connecting plate 17 passes through the threaded rod 2 0 is threadedly connected with the thread groove 21. At the same time, since the width of the rotation groove 19 is greater than the width of the connecting plate 17, space is reserved for the limiting plate 7 to move along the threaded rod 20. Therefore, the limiting plate 7 can be rotated by bending the limiting plate 7, and after the limiting plate 7 is loosened, the position of the limiting plate 7 can be fixed by using the self-locking characteristics of the threaded connection, so as to adjust the angle of the limiting plate 7. During the rotation of the limiting plate 7, since the width of the connecting plate 17 is less than the width of the through groove 8, the connecting plate 17 can be prevented from affecting the rotation of the placing plate 6. At the same time, the setting of the connecting groove 18 on the first conveyor belt 4 can prevent the connecting plate 17 from affecting the normal use of the first conveyor belt 4. Furthermore, a buffer layer 22 is fixedly connected to one end of the push plate 13 facing the first conveyor belt 4 to prevent the push plate 13 from directly colliding with the dough and causing deformation of the dough surface; Furthermore, a first support rod 23 is fixedly connected to the interior of the box body 1, and a first buffer plate 24 is fixedly connected to the first support rod 23. The first buffer plate 24 is obliquely arranged between the second conveyor belt 10 and the first conveyor belt 4, and the height of the lowest end of the first buffer plate 24 is not lower than the height of the second conveyor belt 10. The arrangement of the first buffer plate 24 can play a certain buffering effect in the process of the first cylinder 11 pushing the dough from the first conveyor belt 4 to the second conveyor belt 10; Furthermore, a second support rod 25 is fixedly connected inside the box body 1, and a second buffer plate 26 is fixedly connected to the second support rod 25. The second buffer plate 26 is obliquely arranged between the second conveyor belt 10 and the first conveyor belt 4, and the height of the highest end of the second buffer plate 26 is not higher than the height of the second conveyor belt 10. The arrangement of the second buffer plate 26 can play a certain buffering effect in the process of the second cylinder 12 pushing the dough from the second conveyor belt 10 to the first conveyor belt 4; Furthermore, both sides of the first buffer plate 24 and the second buffer plate 26 are fixedly connected to the limiting plate 27 to prevent the dough from escaping from the first buffer plate 24 and the second buffer plate 26 during the movement; Furthermore, a placement frame for placing dough is slidably connected to the placement plate 6, and the placement frame includes a first connection frame 28 and a second connection frame 29 that are interlocked. When the dough is fully fermented, the outer wall of the dough fits with the inner walls of the first connection frame 28 and the second connection frame 29. The setting of the placement frame can prevent the dough from being damaged by contact with the outside world during movement. At the same time, the placement frame is formed by the first connection frame 28 and the second connection frame 29 that are interlocked, so it is convenient to disassemble and take out the dough after the fermentation is completed. In addition, the setting of the first connection frame 28 and the second connection frame 29 can play a role in preliminarily judging whether the bread is fully fermented.

[0023] The present invention is used as follows: Turn on the switch to start the adjustment device and use the adjustment device to adjust the temperature and humidity in the box 1, then place the dough on the placement plate 6 one by one, then use the adjustment component to adjust the angle of the limiting plate 7 to make it tilted, and then use the control panel 2 to drive the output end of the first motor 5 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating roller 3 connected to the output end of the first motor 5 to rotate, thereby driving the first conveyor belt 4 and the remaining rotating rollers 3 to rotate, and then driving the placement plate 6 to move along the moving direction of the first conveyor belt 4. When the placement plate 6 moves to the top of the first conveyor belt 4, due to the existence of the limiting plate 7, the dough on the placement plate 6 will be blocked by the limiting plate 7 when the placement plate 6 passes through this area. At the same time, since the placement plate 6 is provided with a through groove 8, the placement plate 6 can pass normally, and since the placement plate 6 is in an inclined state when it moves to the vicinity of the top of the first conveyor belt 4, the dough will slide along the placement plate 6. After the making plate 7 contacts, the dough will be blocked by the limiting plate 7 and cannot pass through, while the end of the dough that is not in contact with the limiting plate 7 will still move with the placing plate 6 until the placing plate 6 moves to the other side of the first conveyor belt 4, at which time the dough will flip over and remain on the limiting plate 7. Since the limiting plate 7 is in an inclined state, the dough retained on the placing plate 6 will slide toward the lower end of the limiting plate 7 due to its own gravity. The inclination angle of the limiting plate 7 is pre-adjusted so that the time for the dough to slide along the limiting plate 7 is the same as the time for the placing plate 6 to move from one side of the first conveyor belt 4 to the other side, so that the dough falls from the limiting plate 7 to the other side of the same placing plate 6 when it slides off, thereby completing the turning of the dough. When the dough moves to the bottom end of the first conveyor belt 4 with the placing plate 6, the conveying assembly is used to move the dough from one side of the bottom end of the first conveyor belt 4 to the other side, thereby realizing the dough turning cycle and ensuring the full fermentation of the dough.

[0024] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, some improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
