For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0020] A bread embryo fermentation device, such as Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, it includes a fermentation box 1, a heating layer 2 is arranged on the inner wall of the fermentation box 1, and an electric heating wire 3 is arranged inside the heating layer 2. The electric heating wire 3 is used for heating. The electric heating wire 3 heats up quickly and can reach the set temperature in a short time, and the temperature is maintained relatively stable. A water tank 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fermentation box 1, and a humidity controller is arranged on the water tank 4. The humidity controller includes a humidification module, a dehumidification module and a humidity detection module. The water tank 4 is used to store pure water and is used in conjunction with the humidity controller. The humidity controller can monitor the humidity in the fermentation box 1. The digital display screen and control panel of the humidity controller are both arranged on the surface of the fermentation box 1, so that people can monitor the humidity inside the fermentation box 1 in time.

[0021] Furthermore, a plurality of storage nets 5 are fixedly connected in the fermentation box 1, a tray 6 is slidably connected to the storage net 5, a positioning rod 9 is slidably connected to the storage net 5, a longitudinal plate 10 is fixedly connected to the positioning rod 9, a positioning rod 2 11 is fixedly connected to the storage net 5, and a transverse plate 12 is slidably connected to the positioning rod 2 11. When the dough needs to be fermented, the dough can be placed on the tray 6, and then the positioning rods 1 9 and 11 are slid according to the size of the dough, so that the dough is framed between the positioning rods 1 9 and 11, the longitudinal plates 10 are arranged on the sides of the dough, and the transverse plates 12 are arranged on the top of the dough, so that the concept of "the dough is fermented to twice its size" has a judging standard, so that people can intuitively see the manifestation of being twice as large, thereby preventing the dough from being under-proofed or over-proofed.

[0022] Furthermore, infrared sensors 13 are provided on the transverse plate 12 and the longitudinal plate 10, and a box door 7 is rotatably connected to the fermentation box 1. The box door 7 is provided with a plurality of observation ports 8, and a sealing component for closing the observation ports 8 is provided on the box door 7. The width of the plurality of observation ports 8 is consistent with the spacing between the storage nets 5. A cylinder 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fermentation box 1, and the piston of the cylinder 14 abuts against the tray 6. The observation port 8 allows the tray 6 to slide out, and a discharge component for discharging the gas inside the dough is provided in the fermentation box 1, and the discharge component is arranged between two adjacent storage nets 5. The infrared sensor 13 is connected to the cylinder 14. The infrared sensors 13 are respectively arranged in the width direction of the horizontal plate 12 and the vertical plate 10. There is a gap between the horizontal plate 12 and the vertical plate 10. When the dough expands and cuts the infrared rays of the infrared sensor 13, the cylinder 14 can be controlled to start, thereby pushing the tray 6 to move toward the observation port 8, so that the dough is away from the heat source, the temperature is reduced, and the dough is prevented from over-fermentation. By setting the infrared sensor 13, the contact switch can be replaced, so that the dough can be pushed out in time, and the infrared sensor 13 does not need to be in direct contact with the dough, so as to prevent the dough from sticking to the horizontal plate 12 and the vertical plate 10.

[0023] In one embodiment, a plurality of placement grooves 15 are provided on the top surface of the tray 6, and the placement grooves 15 are distributed at equal intervals. There are four placement grooves 15 on any tray 6, and the horizontal plate 12 is located above the placement grooves 15. The vertical plates 10 are arranged on both sides of the tray 6, and the vertical plates 10 are slidably connected to the surface of the tray 6. The position of the dough is limited by the placement grooves 15, so that the position of the dough after fermentation and expansion can be calculated, thereby making the position of the infrared sensor 13 more accurate, thereby improving the quality of dough fermentation. The horizontal plate 12 is used to limit the height of the dough after fermentation, and the vertical plate 10 is used to limit the diameter of the dough, so during the fermentation process.

[0024] In one embodiment, the sealing assembly includes a plurality of connecting plates 16 slidably connected to the observation port 8, an elastic plate 17 is slidably connected between two adjacent connecting plates 16, a heat preservation plate 18 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting plate 16, a groove 19 for the heat preservation plate 18 to be inserted is provided on the side wall of the box door 7, and the side of the heat preservation plate 18 away from the connecting plate 16 is fixedly connected to the groove 19, the heat preservation plate 18 is made of EVA material, which has heat sealing and elasticity, the connecting plate 16 and the elastic plate 17 are made of transparent material, so that people can directly observe the dough through the connecting plate 16 and the elastic plate 17, and a baffle 20 is fixedly connected to the side of the tray 6 close to the observation port 8. After the dough fermentation is completed, the cylinder 14 pushes the tray 6 toward the observation port 8 moves to one side, at this time, the baffle plate 20 can preferentially contact the connecting plate 16 and the elastic plate 17, thereby lifting the two, preventing the connecting plate 16 and the elastic plate 17 from contacting the dough and causing the dough to stick to the two, thereby ensuring the integrity of the dough; when the baffle plate 20 is pushed out, the connecting plate 16 and the elastic plate 17 can be deformed, so that the elastic plate 17, the connecting plate 16 and the insulation plate 18 form a space for the tray 6 to extend out, so that the dough on the tray 6 can be kept away from the heat source, preventing the dough from being continuously heated and over-fermented; the connecting plate 16, the elastic plate 17 and the insulation plate 18 can also prevent the heat on the dough surface from being lost too quickly and causing the dough to shrink, thereby ensuring that the dough can be properly fermented and the dough can be soft after finally being baked.

[0025] Furthermore, a slide groove 21 is provided on the top of the storage net 5, and a slider 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tray 6. A limit plate 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the slide groove 21. The cross section of the slider 22 is consistent with the cross section of the shape surrounded by the slide groove 21 and the limit plate 23. An opening 24 for the slider 22 to be lifted out is provided on the limit plate 23. The opening 24 is arranged on the side of the storage net 5 close to the observation port 8. When the cylinder 14 pushes the tray 6 to move, the slider 22 can slide in the slide groove 21. The length of the piston end of the cylinder 14 is less than the length of the slide groove 21. When the tray 6 is pushed outward, the baffle 20 on the tray 6 can contact the connecting plate 16 and the elastic plate 17, which can play a buffering role and prevent the slider 22 from escaping from the opening 24 due to inertia, so as to ensure that the dough can be stably in the fermentation box 1 during the fermentation process. After the fermentation is completed, people can take the tray 6 out of the storage net 5 and clean it to ensure the cleanliness of the inside of the fermentation box 1.

[0026] In one embodiment, the discharge assembly includes a plurality of electric push rods 25, a connection block 1 31 is fixedly connected to the storage net 5, a connection block 2 32 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the connection block 1 31, the top of the electric push rod 25 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the connection block 2 32, a connection rope 28 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connection block 2 32, and the end of the connection rope 28 away from the connection block 2 32 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the baffle 20, the push rod end of the electric push rod 25 is detachably connected to the exhaust plate 26, a waterproof cover 27 is arranged on the outside of the electric push rod 25, a moisture absorption box is detachably connected to the inside of the waterproof cover 27, a through hole 29 for the push rod of the electric push rod 25 to extend is opened on the waterproof cover 27, and the through hole 29 is at A sealing strip 30 is provided. After the dough fermentation is completed, the dough needs to be deflated. When deflated, there is no need to take out the dough. Just start the electric push rod 25 to drive the exhaust plate 26 to move toward the side close to the dough to press and exhaust the dough. Since the dough will be pushed out of the fermentation box 1, the connecting rope 28 will drive the electric push rod 25 and the tray 6 to move at the same time, thereby ensuring that the exhaust plate 26 can accurately exhaust the dough. The environment in the fermentation box 1 is relatively humid, and the waterproof cover 27 can prevent the electric push rod 25 from getting damp, ensuring that the electric push rod 25 can be in a dry environment, thereby ensuring the service life of the electric push rod 25.

[0027] Furthermore, the connecting plate 16 located at the top of the observation port 8 is detachably connected to the observation port 8, and the connecting plate 16 located at the bottom of the observation port 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the observation port 8. The connecting plate 16 and the observation port 8 are attracted to each other through the magnetic block. During daily use of the fermentation box 1, the two will not be separated from each other. When internal components fail or other accidents occur, the staff can remove the connecting plate 16, so as to accurately repair the components on each layer of the storage net 5 without opening the fermentation box 1, thereby reducing the impact on other doughs and thus reducing losses.

[0028] The use process of the present invention is as follows: Before fermentation, the internal line of the fermentation box 1 is preheated. During fermentation, the dough is placed in the placement groove 15, and the positions of the horizontal plate 12 and the vertical plate 10 are adjusted according to the size of the dough. Then the box door 7 is closed to start fermentation. When the dough is fermented to a set size, the infrared sensor 13 can receive the induction, thereby starting the cylinder 14 to push the dough that has reached the standard out of the fermentation box 1, so as to achieve the effect of lowering the temperature of the dough and prevent the dough surface from continuously heating up and over-fermenting. Then the electric push rod 25 is started to push the exhaust plate 26 to press the inside of the dough to exhaust and relax it. After the exhaust is completed, the fermentation is continued. During this process, there is no need to take out the dough, so that the fermentation action of the dough can be carried out in the fermentation box 1, which is convenient to operate.

[0029] 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.
