[0002] Flour fermentation refers to the process in which yeast fully reproduces and produces gas under certain temperature and humidity conditions, causing the dough to expand. When yeast converts starch into sugar and consumes it in the aerobic environment inside the dough, it releases carbon dioxide gas. At this time, the volume of the dough will expand and it will rise.
[0003] When fermenting flour, the flour is first kneaded into dough, and then the dough is placed in a flour fermentation device for beating and fermenting so that gluten can be formed in the dough and gas generated during fermentation can be discharged from the dough. However, since the dough itself is sticky and the existing flour fermentation device lacks components to solve the problem of dough stickiness, the dough is easily adhered to the flour fermentation device, which is not conducive to the subsequent cleaning of the flour fermentation device.

[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.
[0026] Reference Figures 1-6 A flour fermentation device includes a body 1, in which a rotating sphere 2 and a rotating hemisphere 3 are rotatably arranged, and a first arc surface 6 and a second arc surface 7 are symmetrically arranged in the rotating sphere 2. A first pipe 4 and a flour inlet 5 are arranged at the first arc surface 6. The first pipe 4 is used to put dough, and the flour inlet 5 is used to put flour. The second arc surface 7 cooperates with the rotating hemisphere 3 to beat the dough. The body 1 is provided with a device for driving the rotating sphere 2 and the rotating hemisphere 3 to respectively perform flour sprinkling and dough beating. The driving mechanism of the operation is to first perform a flour sprinkling operation to allow the flour to separate the dough from the second arc surface 7 and the rotating hemisphere 3 to prevent the dough from sticking to the second arc surface 7 and the rotating hemisphere 3, and then perform a dough beating operation to help the dough to be automatically beaten and fermented. The rotating sphere 2 is provided with a guiding component for guiding flour and dough to allow flour and dough to enter or discharge the rotating hemisphere 3, and the body 1 is provided with a separation component for separating the fermented dough and flour to facilitate the recycling of the flour and avoid waste of flour.
[0027] Preferably, as shown in the attached Figure 2 As shown, the body 1 is respectively provided with a first chamber 8, a second chamber 11 and a third chamber 24, and the two second chambers 11 are symmetrically located on the left and right sides of the first chamber 8. The upper end of the body 1 is provided with a first delivery port 9 and a second delivery port 10 connected to the first chamber 8. When the first pipe 4 and the powder inlet 5 are aligned with the first delivery port 9 and the second delivery port 10 respectively, flour and dough are delivered in turn through the second delivery port 10 and the first delivery port 9, and the first delivery port 9 and the second delivery port 10 can be closed by a block to seal the first chamber 8. The rotating sphere 2 and the rotating hemisphere 3 are located in the first chamber 8, and a temperature controller and a humidity controller are provided in the first chamber 8, and the temperature and humidity in the first chamber 8 are controlled by the temperature controller and the humidity controller. Since the temperature controller and the humidity controller are mature technical means in the field to which this application belongs, they will not be described in detail.
[0028] And as attached Figure 3As shown, the driving mechanism includes a rotating sleeve 12 rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the second chamber 11 and fixedly connected to the rotating sphere 2. A rotating shaft 13 fixedly connected to the rotating hemisphere 3 is rotatably mounted in the second chamber 11 through a vertical plate, and the rotating shaft 13 is rotatably sleeved in the rotating sleeve 12. At the same time, the rotating shaft 13 is rotatably connected to the rotating sphere 2, thereby allowing the rotating sphere 2 and the rotating hemisphere 3 to rotate respectively. When the first arc surface 6 moves to the upper end of the body 1, flour can be put into the rotating hemisphere. 3, and then rotate the rotating hemisphere 3 to allow flour to be sprinkled on the second arc surface 7 and the rotating hemisphere 3, and finally the dough is put into the rotating hemisphere 3; and when the second arc surface 7 is opposite to the opening of the rotating hemisphere 3, the rotating sphere 2 and the rotating hemisphere 3 are rotated in the same direction, so that the dough is tossed back and forth between the second arc surface 7 and the rotating hemisphere 3, and a first gear 14 is rotatably installed in the second chamber 11, and a second gear 15 meshing with the first gear 14 is fixedly installed on the rotating sleeve 12.
[0029] Preferably, the second chamber 11 is respectively equipped with a first motor 16 and a second motor 17, and the output end of the first motor 16 and the output end of the second motor 17 are respectively fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 13 and the first gear 14, and by starting the first motor 16 and the second motor 17, the rotating hemisphere 3 and the rotating sphere 2 are respectively rotated.
[0030] In particular, a take-out door can be provided at the outer end of the body 1 located at the first chamber 8, and the rotating sphere 2 is assembled and assembled by two hemispherical shells through a screw. When the take-out door is opened and the two hemispherical shells are disassembled, the hemispherical shell at the first arc surface 6 is taken out, and the hemispherical shell at the second arc surface 7 is only connected to the rotating sleeve 12, so as to facilitate cleaning of residual flour and dough in the rotating sphere 2 and the rotating hemispherical body 3;
[0031] Preferably, the guiding assembly includes a second pipe 18 slidably mounted in the first pipe 4, a transition chamber 32 is provided at the first arc surface 6 of the rotating sphere 2, and the first pipe 4 and the powder inlet 5 are connected to the transition chamber 32. When flour and dough are added from the first pipe 4 and the powder inlet 5, the flour and dough pass through the transition chamber 32 and then fall into the rotating hemisphere 3, and the second pipe 18 is fixedly connected to a movable arc member 19, which is respectively provided with a first guide surface 20 and a second guide surface 21 for guiding the flour and dough.
[0032] Preferably, when the first arc surface 6 is located at the upper end of the machine body 1, the movable arc member 19 moves downward under the action of gravity, so that the movable arc member 19 is away from the first arc surface 6, and the flour dropped in falls from the flour inlet 5 to the first guide surface 20 of the movable arc member 19, and falls into the rotating hemisphere 3 under the guidance of the first guide surface 20; and when the first arc surface 6 is located at the lower end of the machine body 1, the movable arc member 19 moves downward under the action of gravity, so that the movable arc member 19 is located at the first arc surface 6. If the opening of the rotating hemisphere 3 is opposite to the first arc surface 6 at this time, the fermented dough and the remaining flour can fall to the second guide surface 21, and under the guidance of the second guide surface 21, the fermented dough and the remaining flour can fall into the second guide surface 21. The dough and the remaining flour enter the first pipe 4 and the second pipe 18, and are finally discharged from the first chamber 8 through the discharge port 26. When the opening of the rotating hemisphere 3 faces the second curved surface 7 and beats the dough, if the movable arc member 19 is located at the upper end of the machine body 1, flour can continue to be added through the second feeding port 10. If the movable arc member 19 is located at the lower end of the machine body 1, the remaining flour in the transition chamber 32 falls through the flour inlet 5 to the inner wall of the first chamber 8, and is guided by the inner wall of the first chamber 8 to the discharge port 26. When the movable arc member 19 is away from the first curved surface 6, the rotating hemisphere 3 can still rotate in the remaining space inside the rotating sphere 2.
[0033] It is particularly noted that a rotation angle sensor can be provided at the rotating sleeve 12, and a control panel can be provided at the outer end of the body 1. Since the inner wall of the first chamber 8 is fixedly connected to the infrared transmitter 22, the rotating sphere 2 is located at the outer end of the first arc surface 6 and is fixedly installed with an infrared receiver 23. When the first arc surface 6 is located at the upper end of the body 1, the infrared receiver 23 receives the signal of the infrared transmitter 22, and the infrared receiver 23 transmits the prompt signal to the control panel to remind the first pipe 4 and the powder inlet 5 to be aligned with the first delivery port 9 and the second delivery port 10 respectively. At this time, the rotating sphere 2 rotates 180° again, and the first arc surface 6 is located at the lower end of the body 1. The 180° rotation movement of the rotating sphere 2 is sensed by the rotation angle sensor, and the prompt signal is transmitted to the control panel to remind the first pipe 4 and the second pipe 18 to be aligned with the discharge port 26.
[0034] Preferably, the separation component includes a U-shaped guide plate 25 integrally formed in the third chamber 24. When the fermented dough and the remaining flour are discharged into the third chamber 24 through the discharge port 26, the fermented dough and the remaining flour fall into the U-shaped guide plate 25, and under the guidance of the U-shaped guide plate 25, the remaining flour is discharged from the straight pipe 27 to the filter screen 28, so that the fermented dough stays in the U-shaped guide plate 25, and the remaining flour is filtered through the filter screen 28, and the lumps in the remaining flour are intercepted. At the same time, the filtered flour falls into the collection frame 29 for collection, and since the first inspection door 30 and the second inspection door 31 are respectively installed at the outer ends of the U-shaped guide plate 25 and the collection frame 29 of the machine body 1, the fermented dough and the filtered flour can be taken out respectively through the first inspection door 30 and the second inspection door 31.
[0035] The present invention can be explained through the following operation mode:
[0036] First, the first curved surface 6 of the rotating sphere 2 is positioned above the machine body 1, so that the movable curved member 19 moves downward and away from the first curved surface 6. Flour is then added from the second feeding port 10. The flour falls from the powder inlet 5 to the first guide surface 20 of the movable curved member 19 and, guided by the first guide surface 20, falls into the rotating hemisphere 3. The first motor 16 is then started, driving the rotating hemisphere 3 to rotate via the rotating shaft 13. The flour is then sprinkled onto the second curved surface 7 of the rotating sphere 2 and various locations on the rotating hemisphere 3.
[0037] Dough is fed from the first feeding port 9, and the dough sequentially passes through the first pipe 4 and the second pipe 18 and falls into the rotating hemispherical body 3. The second motor 17 is then started, causing the second motor 17 to drive the first gear 14 to rotate. Since the first gear 14 and the second gear 15 are engaged, the second gear 15 drives the rotating sphere 2 to rotate via the rotating sleeve 12, so that the second arc surface 7 is opposite to the opening of the rotating hemispherical body 3.
[0038] Then the rotating sphere 2 and the rotating hemisphere 3 are driven to rotate in the same direction, and the dough is beaten to make the dough beat back and forth between the second arc surface 7 and the rotating hemisphere 3, and then the temperature controller and the humidity controller in the first chamber 8 are started to help the dough to be beaten and fermented. After the dough has completed fermentation, the first arc surface 6 is driven to be located below the body 1, and the opening of the rotating hemisphere 3 is made opposite to the first arc surface 6, so that the dough and the remaining flour fall to the first arc surface 6. At this time, the movable arc member 19 moves downward and is located at the first arc surface 6, so that the dough and the remaining flour are guided by the first arc surface 6 to fall into the first pipe 4 and the second pipe 18, and the dough and the remaining flour are discharged to the U-shaped guide plate 25 through the discharge port 26. At the same time, the remaining flour falls to the filter screen 28 through the straight discharge pipe 27 for filtration to separate the dough and the remaining flour.
[0039] The above description is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field, within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, who makes equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
