Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of dough processing, and in particular to a dough proofing device. Background Art

[0002] During the proofing process, the yeast in the dough will use sugars for aerobic respiration and produce carbon dioxide gas. These gases are evenly distributed inside the dough, forming countless tiny air chambers, which are like building a solid "skeleton" for the dough, causing the dough to expand and increase in volume.

[0003] As the proofing time increases, the texture of the dough becomes softer and looser, which significantly improves the plasticity of the dough and makes subsequent processing, such as molding and stuffing, smoother. For example, when making bread, the fully proofed dough can expand evenly during the baking process, thus forming a fine and uniform pore structure, giving the bread a good taste and chewiness. At present, when the dough is proofed in the proofing room, it is impossible to automatically discharge the dough, and when discharging the dough, it is impossible to adjust the dough falling speed and flow rate.

[0035] Working principle:

[0036] Dough conveying: The third motor 505 drives the transmission shaft to rotate, thereby driving the corresponding second sprockets 502 of the two second chain transmission mechanisms to rotate, and the second sprockets 502 mesh with each other and the second chains 503 connected thereto move accordingly. The T-shaped follower 508 of the proofing and storage structure is rotatably connected to the second chain 503 through the hanging shaft 509, so that the proofing and storage structure is driven by the second chain 503 to move along the set track in the proofing frame 501 to realize the conveying of dough.

[0037] Proofing storage: The proofing storage structure consists of two parallel bowl support rods 506, a number of proofing bowls 504 evenly distributed between the bowl support rods, and an end plate 507 with fixed ends, which is used to store dough for proofing.

[0038] Unloading and turning over: When the proofing storage structure moves to the discharge port along with the second chain 503, the first stop wheel 524, the second stop wheel 525, the third stop wheel 526 and the fourth stop wheel 527 which are sequentially rotated on the fixed bar 522 contact with the T-type follower 508, changing the movement direction of the T-type follower 508, thereby realizing the upside-down turning over of the proofing bowl 504 and pouring out the dough. At the same time, the limiting sliding shaft 521 at one end of the toggle shaft 523 on the stop box 510 guides and slides in the arc-shaped guide groove 520, and the toggle lever 519 at the other end turns the T-type follower 508 to reset under the constraint of the arc-shaped guide groove 520 after the proofing storage structure reaches the discharge port and completes unloading, so that the proofing bowl 504 returns to the initial position.

[0039] Dough receiving: The feeding slide 515 below the feeding mechanism receives the dough poured out when the proofing bowl 504 is turned over, prevents the dough from scattering, and guides the dough into the subsequent device.

[0040] Discharging control: The first cylinder 512 of the opening and closing drive assembly drives the deflection rod 513 to deflect, thereby driving the opening and closing shaft 517 fixedly connected to the deflection rod 513 to rotate. Through two first gears 518 meshing with each other, the two opening and closing shafts 517 rotate synchronously, controlling the opening and closing of the discharging claws 516, adjusting the dough falling speed and flow rate, and allowing the dough to fall smoothly onto the unloading conveyor 514.

[0041] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
