They are all controlled by a controller, and by setting the corresponding parameters in the controller, fully automatic production is achieved.
[0029] The dough forming device 1, conveying device 2, cutting device 3, traying device 4, proofing device 5, steaming device 6, and automatic feeding mechanism are all connected to the controller. The conveying device 2 is responsible for sequentially transporting the formed dough to the cutting device 3, traying device 4, proofing device 5, and steaming device 6, connecting each process and transferring materials to ensure the continuity of the production process. The cutting device 3 cuts the transported dough according to a preset program and size requirements, dividing it into appropriately sized dough pieces that meet production requirements, preparing for subsequent traying and steaming. The traying device 4 places the cut dough pieces on the steaming tray rack in a specific arrangement, completing the traying operation and ensuring even heating during steaming to guarantee the steaming effect. The proofing device 5 provides a suitable temperature and humidity environment for the trayed dough pieces, allowing them to proof and expand within a certain time, promoting the internal fermentation process of the dough and improving the taste and texture of the pastries.
[0030] The dough forming device 1 comprises a hopper, a stirring roller and a top cover, both sides of the hopper are fixedly connected with short rods, the short rods are connected with the support frame through bearings, the short rods and the bearings are used to connect the hopper and the support frame, allowing the hopper to rotate to pour the formed dough. And the short rods are connected with the second motor through the splines through the bearings, the hopper is used to store the raw materials for making Chinese pastries, providing space for stirring and forming, and discharging the dough after stirring is completed. The second motor is used to drive the stirring roller to rotate or control the overturning action of the hopper. The stirring roller is installed inside the hopper, which stirs and kneads the raw materials by rotating to form uniform dough. The support frame is fixedly installed with a third cylinder, and the other end of the third cylinder is fixedly connected with a 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, and the third cylinder controls its opening and closing to realize automatic operation.
[0031] As shown in Figure 3 , the steaming device 6 comprises a steaming box 7 and a support 8, the switch door of the steaming box 7 is an automatic switch door, the steaming box 7 is the main equipment for steaming pastries, steam is introduced into the inside, providing a high-temperature environment for the dough, so that the dough is cooked thoroughly within a specified time, and the maturation process is completed. The design of the automatic switch door facilitates the entry and exit of materials, improves the degree of automation of operation and work efficiency. The support 8 is fixedly installed on the inner walls of both sides of the inside of the steaming box 7, and the support 8 is used to support the placement of the steaming tray rack, so that the steaming tray rack maintains a stable position in the steaming box 7, ensuring that the pastries can be uniformly heated during the steaming process.
[0032] As shown in Figure 2 , the automatic feeding mechanism comprises a feeding trolley 9, a support plate 11 and wheels, the feeding trolley 9 serves as a transportation carrier, moves between the proofing device 5 and the steaming device 6 under the drive of the first motor through the rotation of the wheels, realizes the transportation of the steaming tray rack, sends the proofed dough into the steaming box 7, and takes out the steamed pastries from the steaming box 7. The support plate 11 is used to place the steaming tray rack, providing a support plane for the steaming tray rack, ensuring the stability of the steaming tray rack during transportation. The feeding trolley 9 is fixedly connected with the support plate 11 through four first cylinders 10 above the feeding trolley 9, the first cylinders 10 are used to adjust the height and position of the support plate 11 to adapt to different work requirements and ensure the stability of the placement of the steaming tray rack. The support plate 11 is symmetrically provided with baffles 12 on the front and rear sides, and the baffles 12 on both sides prevent the steaming tray rack from falling off.
[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, the width of the feeding trolley 9 is smaller than the distance between the two supports 8, and the width of the feeding trolley 9 is the same as the width of the support plate 11. The length and width of the feeding trolley 9 are designed to smoothly enter and exit the steaming box 7 and carry the support plate 11 and the steaming tray rack, and the length of the feeding trolley 9 is longer than the length of the steaming box 7, so that 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 are retracted, and the rear wheels 15 are placed outside the steaming box 7.
[0034] The bottom of the feeding trolley 9 is provided with three groups of wheels, each group having two wheels, and the wheels include front wheels 13, middle wheels 14 and rear wheels 15. The horizontal height of the front wheels 13 is higher than that of the middle wheels 14 and the rear wheels 15. The wheels are used to provide support and power for the movement of the feeding trolley 9, so that the feeding trolley 9 can 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 rise and fall by the second air cylinder 19. This design helps the feeding trolley 9 to adjust the horizontal state of the body when entering and exiting the steaming box 7, smoothly pass through the opening of the steaming box 7 and accurately place and take out the steaming tray rack on the supports 8 in the steaming box 7.
[0035] The front wheels 13 are rotatably connected to the feeding trolley 9 by the first connecting rod 16, the middle wheels 14 are rotatably connected to the connecting plate 20 by the second connecting rod 17, the connecting plate 20 is fixedly connected to the feeding trolley 9 by the second air cylinder 19, and the rear wheels 15 are rotatably connected to the feeding trolley 9 by the third connecting rod 18. When the second air cylinder 19 is in the uncontracted state, the middle wheels 14 and the rear wheels 15 are in the same horizontal plane.
[0036] The front wheels 13, the middle wheels 14 and the rear wheels 15 are respectively connected to the first motor, which serves as the power source for the wheels of the feeding trolley 9. The first motor drives the wheels to rotate through the connection with the wheels, so that the feeding trolley 9 can move in the system and realize the transportation function of the steaming tray rack. The first motor is electrically connected to the controller, and the first motor is connected to the battery. The battery provides power support for the first motor, ensures the normal operation of the feeding trolley 9 in the system, and enables the feeding trolley 9 to independently complete the feeding task without being limited by external power wiring.
[0037] When the full-automatic Chinese pastry maturation system provided by the application is used, first, the raw materials for making pastries are put into the hopper, and the second motor drives the short rod and the stirring roller to rotate through the spline, stirring the raw materials in the hopper to make them evenly mixed. After stirring is completed, the third air cylinder is retracted to open the top cover, and the dough is discharged from the hopper under the action of gravity or other external force.
[0038] The dough is placed on transport device 2, which then conveys it to cutting device 3. Cutting device 3 cuts the dough into appropriately sized pieces according to a preset program and size requirements. The cut pieces are then conveyed by transport device 2 to traying device 4, which arranges them on steaming trays in a specific pattern. The steaming trays are then transported by transport device 2 to proofing device 5, which provides a suitable temperature and humidity environment for the dough to proof and expand, reaching the ideal fermentation state.
[0039] After proofing, the automatic feeding mechanism starts working. The steamer 7 receives a signal from the feeding trolley 9 to start feeding, opening the automatic door. Driven by the first motor, the feeding trolley 9 moves to the proofing device 5, placing the steaming trays containing the proofed dough onto the support plate 11. Side baffles 12 prevent the trays from slipping. Because the front wheels 13 are at a higher horizontal height than the middle and rear wheels 15, as the feeding trolley 9 approaches the steamer 7, the second cylinder 19 can be controlled to retract, causing the middle wheel 14 to rise. This changes the load-bearing wheels of the feeding trolley 9 from the middle and rear wheels 14 to the front and rear wheels 13, while the rear wheels 15 do not enter the steamer 7. Adjusting the level of the feeding trolley 9 allows it to smoothly enter between the two supports 8 inside the steamer 7. Simultaneously, the first cylinder 10 retracts, causing the steaming trays to detach from the support plate 11 and be placed on the supports 8.
[0040] The feeding trolley 9 delivers the steaming tray rack onto the support 8 inside the steaming chamber 7 and then exits. The automatic door of the steaming chamber 7 closes, and steam begins to flow into the steaming chamber 7 to steam the dough. After the preset steaming time and temperature are reached, steaming is complete, the automatic door opens, and the feeding trolley 9 re-enters the steaming chamber 7 to remove the steamed pastry, completing the fully automatic cooking process of the Chinese pastry.
[0041] Therefore, the present invention adopts the above-mentioned fully automatic maturation system for Chinese pastries, which has a high degree of automation and can realize full process control from dough forming to maturation, reducing labor intensity, ensuring stable product quality, and providing continuous proofing and steaming, flexible and efficient feeding, and uniform dough mixing. It has the advantages of high efficiency and energy saving as well as 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 not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, and these modifications or equivalent substitutions cannot cause the modified technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
