[0026] Embodiment 1

[0027] As Figure 1 shown, the present invention provides a full-automatic ripening system for Chinese-style pastries, which includes a dough forming device 1, a transportation device 2, a cutting device 3, a tray loading device 4, a proofing device 5 and a steaming device 6. A transportation device 2 is provided on one side of the dough forming device 1. A cutting device 3 and a tray loading device 4 are installed on the transportation device 2. A proofing device 5 is provided on one side of the tray loading device 4. A steaming device 6 is provided on one side of the proofing device 5. An automatic feeding mechanism is provided between the proofing device 5 and the steaming device 6.

[0028] Among them, the dough forming device 1, the transportation device 2, the cutting device 3, the tray loading device 4 and the proofing device 5 are all arranged with the structures in the prior art to realize the forming, transportation and proofing of Chinese-style pastries, and they are all controlled by a controller. By setting corresponding parameters in the controller, full-automatic production is realized.

[0029] The dough forming device 1, the transportation device 2, the cutting device 3, the tray loading device 4, the proofing device 5, the steaming device 6 and the automatic feeding mechanism are all connected to the controller. The transportation device 2 is responsible for sequentially transporting the formed dough to the cutting device 3, the tray loading device 4, the proofing device 5 and the steaming device 6, and plays a role in connecting each process and transferring materials in the whole system to ensure the continuity of the production process. The cutting device 3 is used to cut the transported dough according to the preset program and size requirements, and divide it into dough pieces with appropriate sizes and meeting the production requirements to prepare for subsequent tray loading and ripening. The tray loading device 4 is used to place the cut dough pieces on the steaming tray rack in a certain arrangement to complete the tray loading operation, so that the dough pieces can be evenly heated during the steaming process to ensure the steaming effect. The proofing device 5 is used to provide a suitable temperature and humidity environment for the tray-loaded dough pieces, so that the dough pieces proof and expand within a certain time, promote the fermentation process inside the dough, and improve the taste and texture of the pastries.

[0030] The dough forming device 1 includes a hopper, a stirring roller and a top cover. Short rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the hopper. The short rods and the support frame are connected by bearings. The short rods and the bearings are used to connect the hopper and the support frame, allowing the hopper to rotate to pour out the formed dough. And the short rods pass through the bearings and are connected to the second motor by splines. The hopper is used to store the raw materials for making Chinese pastries, provide space for stirring and forming, and discharge the dough after stirring is completed. The second motor is used to drive the stirring roller to rotate or control the flipping action of the hopper. A stirring roller is installed inside the hopper. The stirring roller stirs and kneads the raw materials by rotating to form a uniform dough. A third cylinder is fixedly installed on the support frame. The other end of the third cylinder is fixedly connected to the fixed plate on the side wall of the top cover. The top cover is used to close the hopper to prevent the raw materials from splashing or being contaminated. The third cylinder controls its opening and closing to achieve automatic operation.

[0031] As Figure 3 shown, the steaming device 6 includes a steamer 7 and a bracket 8. The switch door of the steamer 7 is an automatic switch door. The steamer 7 is the main device for steaming pastries. Steam is introduced into it to provide a high-temperature environment for the dough blank, so that the dough blank is cooked through within a specified time and the ripening process is completed. The design of the automatic switch door facilitates the entry and exit of materials, improving the degree of automation of operation and work efficiency. Brackets 8 are respectively fixedly installed on the inner walls of both sides inside the steamer 7. The brackets 8 are used to support and place the steaming tray rack, keeping the steaming tray rack in a stable position inside the steamer 7 to ensure that the pastries are evenly heated during the steaming process.

[0032] As Figure 2 shown, the automatic feeding mechanism includes a feeding trolley 9, a support plate 11 and wheels. The feeding trolley 9 serves as a transportation carrier. Driven by the first motor, it moves between the proofing device 5 and the steaming device 6 through the rotation of the wheels to realize the transportation of the steaming tray rack, send the proofed dough blank into the steamer 7, and take out the steamed pastries from the steamer 7. The support plate 11 is used to place the steaming tray rack, providing a support plane for the steaming tray rack to ensure the stability of the steaming tray rack during transportation. Four first cylinders 10 are fixedly connected to the upper part of the feeding trolley 9 and the support plate 11. The first cylinders 10 are used to adjust the height and position of the support plate 11 to adapt to different working requirements and ensure the smooth placement of the steaming tray rack. Baffles 12 are symmetrically arranged on the front and back sides of the support plate 11. The two baffles 12 prevent the steaming tray rack from slipping.

[0033] The length of the feeding trolley 9 is longer than the length of the steaming box 7 and the length of the support plate 11 respectively. The width of the feeding trolley 9 is less than the distance between the two brackets 8, and the width of the feeding trolley 9 is the same as the width of the support plate 11. The design of the length and width of the feeding trolley 9 enables it to smoothly enter and exit the steaming box 7 and carry the support plate 11 and the steaming tray rack. Moreover, since the length of the feeding trolley 9 is longer than the length of the steaming box 7, when the feeding trolley 9 transports the steaming tray rack to the steaming box 7, the front wheels 13 enter the steaming box 7 first, the middle wheels 14 contract, and the rear wheels 15 are placed outside the steaming box 7.

[0034] Three groups of wheels are installed at the bottom of the feeding trolley 9, with two wheels in each group. The wheels include the front wheels 13, the middle wheels 14, and the rear wheels 15. The horizontal height of the front wheels 13 is higher than the horizontal height of the middle wheels 14 and the rear wheels 15. The wheels are used to provide moving support and power for the feeding trolley 9, enabling the feeding trolley 9 to move freely in the system. The horizontal height of the front wheels 13 is higher than that of the middle and rear wheels 15, and the middle wheels 14 can be controlled to lift and lower by the second cylinder 19. This design helps the feeding trolley 9 adjust the body horizontal state when entering and exiting the steaming box 7, smoothly pass through the opening of the steaming box 7, and accurately place and remove the steaming tray rack on the bracket 8 inside the steaming box 7.

[0035] The front wheels 13 are rotationally connected to the feeding trolley 9 through the first connecting rod 16. The middle wheels 14 are rotationally connected to the connecting plate 20 through the second connecting rod 17. The connecting plate 20 is fixedly connected to the feeding trolley 9 through the second cylinder 19. The rear wheels 15 are rotationally connected to the feeding trolley 9 through the third connecting rod 18. When the second cylinder 19 is in the non-contracted state, the middle wheels 14 and the rear wheels 15 are on the same horizontal plane.

[0036] The front wheels 13, the middle wheels 14, and the rear wheels 15 are all respectively connected to the first motor. The first motor serves as the power source for the wheels of the feeding trolley 9, drives the wheels to rotate through the connection with the wheels, enabling the feeding trolley 9 to move in the system and realizing the transportation function of the steaming tray rack. The first motor is electrically connected to the controller, and the first motor is connected with a storage battery. The storage battery provides power support for the first motor, ensuring the normal operation of the feeding trolley 9 in the system, enabling it to independently complete the feeding task, and being unrestricted by the external power supply wiring.

[0037] When a full-automatic ripening system for Chinese pastries provided by the present invention is in use, first, the raw materials for making pastries are put into the feeding hopper. The second motor drives the short rod and the stirring roller to rotate through the spline, stirring the raw materials in the feeding hopper to make them evenly mixed. After the stirring is completed, the third cylinder contracts, driving the top cover to open, and the dough is discharged from the feeding hopper under the action of gravity or other external forces.

[0038] The dough is placed on the conveying device 2, and the conveying device 2 transports the dough to the cutting device 3. The cutting device 3 cuts the transported dough according to the preset program and size requirements, and divides it into dough pieces of appropriate size. The cut dough pieces are continuously transported by the conveying device 2 to the dish-loading device 4, and the dish-loading device 4 places the dough pieces on the steaming tray rack according to a certain arrangement method to complete the dish-loading operation. The loaded steaming tray rack is sent by the conveying device 2 to the proofing device 5, and the proofing device 5 provides a suitable temperature and humidity environment for the dough pieces, so that the dough pieces proof and expand to reach an ideal fermentation state.

[0039] After proofing is completed, the automatic feeding mechanism starts to work. The steaming box 7 receives the signal that the feeding trolley 9 starts to feed, and automatically opens the door. Driven by the first motor, the feeding trolley 9 moves to the proofing device 5 through the wheels, and places the steaming tray rack with the proofed dough pieces on the support plate 11. The baffles 12 on both sides prevent the steaming tray rack from slipping. Since the horizontal height of the front wheels 13 is higher than that of the middle and rear wheels 15, when the feeding trolley 9 approaches the steaming box 7, during the process of approaching the steaming box 7, the second cylinder 19 can be controlled to contract, so that the middle wheels 14 rise, and the stressed wheels of the feeding trolley 9 change from the middle wheels 14 and the rear wheels 15 to the front wheels 13 and the rear wheels 15, and the rear wheels 15 do not enter the steaming box 7, adjusting the horizontal state of the feeding trolley 9 so that it can smoothly enter between the two brackets 8 in the steaming box 7, and the first cylinder 10 contracts, so that the steaming tray rack is separated from the support of the support plate 11 and placed on the bracket 8.

[0040] After the feeding trolley 9 sends the steaming tray rack into the bracket 8 in the steaming box 7 and exits, the automatic door of the steaming box 7 closes, and steam starts to be introduced into the steaming box 7 to steam the dough pieces. After reaching the preset steaming time and temperature, the steaming is completed, the automatic door opens, and the feeding trolley 9 enters the steaming box 7 again to take out the steamed pastries, completing the full-automatic cooking process of the Chinese-style pastries.

[0041] Therefore, the present invention adopts the above-mentioned full-automatic cooking system for Chinese-style pastries, which has a high degree of automation, can realize the full-process control from dough forming to cooking, reduces labor intensity, ensures stable product quality, and has continuous proofing and steaming, flexible and efficient feeding, uniform dough mixing, and has the advantages of high efficiency, energy saving, and easy operation and maintenance.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify or equivalently replace the technical solutions of the present invention, and these modifications or equivalent replacements cannot make the modified technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
