Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to flour product processing equipment, in particular to a proofing room for proofing flour. Background Art

[0002] At present, the production of flatbreads requires proofing and shaping. Proofing is a key step in the production of flatbreads. It is to send the shaped dough into a proofing room for standing so that the dough can re-gas and expand, thereby reaching the volume required for the finished product and ensuring that the flatbread has good quality. The processing of flatbreads also requires extrusion molding of the flatbreads. In the prior art, the proofing and extrusion molding of the flatbreads are carried out in different processes. The flatbreads are placed in a proofing room and taken out after proofing. In this way, the flatbreads are not extruded while proofing, which wastes time. In addition, the existing extrusion process of the flatbreads is a one-time extrusion, which is easy to break the gluten of the flatbreads, making it difficult to shape, and the shaping is not uniform. Summary of the invention

[0003] The utility model aims to provide a novel constant temperature dough proofing and forming chamber for the above-mentioned shortcomings.

[0004] The technical solution of the utility model is implemented as follows: a constant temperature proofing and forming room for dough cakes, comprising a proofing tunnel, the proofing tunnel having an inlet and an outlet, a constant temperature device installed in the proofing tunnel, and three forming stations arranged from left to right in the proofing tunnel, namely a first forming station, a second forming station, and a third forming station;

[0005] The first molding station, the second molding station, and the third molding station each have an upper platform and a lower platform, which are fixedly installed in the proofing tunnel, and a telescopic cylinder is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the upper platform, the piston shaft of the telescopic cylinder is downward, and a top piece is installed at the end of the piston shaft, and the top surface of the top piece corresponds to the upper surface of the lower platform;

[0006] A conveyor belt is installed in the fermentation tunnel, and the conveyor belt runs through the fermentation tunnel from the entrance to the exit, and the conveyor belt has a conveying head end and a conveying end end;

[0007] The top pieces and lower platforms of the first, second and third forming stations are located at the upper and lower sides of the upper width of the conveyor belt, and the upper width of the conveyor belt is attached to the upper surfaces of the lower platforms.

[0008] Furthermore, the constant temperature device is a heating belt, which is laid on the upper and lower edges of the proofing tunnel. The heating belt is connected to a controller, which can input a target temperature. A temperature detector is also provided in the proofing tunnel, which can detect the real-time temperature in the proofing tunnel. The temperature detector is connected to the controller and inputs real-time temperature data to the controller. The controller compares the target temperature and the real-time temperature. If the real-time temperature is lower than the target temperature, the heating belt is controlled to increase the power. If the real-time temperature is higher than the target temperature, the heating belt is controlled to reduce the power.

[0009] Furthermore, the device is also provided with a PLC, which connects the conveyor belt and the telescopic cylinder. The PLC can control the conveying speed of the conveyor belt and the working frequency of the telescopic cylinder.

[0010] Further, each forming station has four identical vertical rods, namely, the first vertical rod, the second vertical rod, the third vertical rod and the fourth vertical rod, which are fixedly installed between the upper edge and the lower edge of the proofing tunnel, wherein the first vertical rod and the second vertical rod are on the front side of the conveyor belt, and the third vertical rod and the fourth vertical rod are on the rear side of the conveyor belt, and each vertical rod has two sections of threads, namely, an upper thread and a lower thread;

[0025] The technical solution of the utility model is further described below in conjunction with embodiments.

[0026] Example 1: Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a constant temperature proofing and forming room for dough cakes comprises a proofing tunnel 1, which is a tunnel-shaped structure running through from left to right, and has an inlet 2 and an outlet 3. A constant temperature device 4 is installed in the proofing tunnel, and three forming stations are arranged in the proofing tunnel from left to right, namely a first forming station 5, a second forming station 6, and a third forming station 7;

A first top piece 5-3 is installed at the end of the piston shaft, and the top surface of the first top piece corresponds to the upper surface of the first lower platform.

[0028] The second molding station 6 includes a second upper platform 6-1 and a second lower platform 6-2, the second upper platform and the second lower platform are fixedly installed in the fermentation tunnel, a telescopic cylinder is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the second upper platform, the piston shaft of the telescopic cylinder is downward, and a second top piece 6-3 is installed at the end of the piston shaft, and the top surface of the second top piece corresponds to the upper surface of the second lower platform;

[0029] The third forming station 7 includes a third upper platform 7-1 and a third lower platform 7-2, which are fixedly installed in the proofing tunnel. A telescopic cylinder is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the third upper platform, and the piston shaft of the telescopic cylinder is downward. A third top piece 7-3 is installed at the end of the piston shaft, and the top surface of the third top piece corresponds to the upper surface of the third lower platform;

[0030] A conveyor belt 9 is installed in the fermentation tunnel, and the conveyor belt runs through the fermentation tunnel from the entrance to the exit, and the conveyor belt has a conveying head end 9-1 and a conveying end 9-2; Figure 3 As shown, the transmission head end is the end where the transmission belt starts, and the transmission end end is the end where the transmission belt arrives; the first top piece 5-3 and the first lower platform 5-2 are located on the upper and lower sides of the upper width of the transmission belt; the second top piece 6-3 and the second lower platform 6-2 are located on the upper and lower sides of the upper width of the transmission belt; the third top piece 7-3 and the third lower platform 7-2 are located on the upper and lower sides of the upper width of the transmission belt; the upper width of the transmission belt is attached to the upper surfaces of the first lower platform, the second lower platform and the third lower platform.

[0031] Steps:

[0032] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , turn on the constant temperature device, the constant temperature device heats the internal environment of the proofing tunnel, and adjusts the temperature in the proofing tunnel to 53-58℃, with 55℃ being the best. The proofed dough has the best taste. Then turn on the telescopic cylinders and the conveyor belt, and place the dough 14 to be proofed on the conveyor head end 9-1. The conveyor belt runs, and the dough passes through the proofing tunnel from left to right. When passing the first top piece, the dough is squeezed once, and when passing the second top piece, the dough is squeezed twice, and when passing the third top piece, the dough is squeezed for the third time to form a dough cake. In this way, the dough has experienced extrusion-proofing-extrusion-proofing-extrusion-proofing. Compared with one-time extrusion molding, the molding is uniform, the effect is good, and the internal gluten is not easy to be broken.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] On the basis of Example 1, the constant temperature device 4 is a heating belt, which is laid on the upper and lower edges of the proofing tunnel. The heating belt is connected to a controller, which can input a target temperature. A temperature detector is also provided in the proofing tunnel, which can detect the real-time temperature in the proofing tunnel. The temperature detector is connected to the controller and inputs real-time temperature data to the controller. The controller compares the target temperature and the real-time temperature. If the real-time temperature is lower than the target temperature, the heating belt is controlled to increase the power. If the real-time temperature is higher than the target temperature, the heating belt is controlled to reduce the power.

[0035] This setting, such as Figure 4 As shown, a specific structure of a constant temperature device is provided, which can control the temperature in the proofing tunnel in real time through a temperature detector-controller-heating belt method, and keep the real-time temperature around the target temperature. In the specific implementation, the target temperature is best at 55°C.

[0036] Example 3

[0037] On the basis of Example 1 or 2, the device is further provided with a PLC, which connects the conveying belt and the telescopic cylinder, and the PLC can control the conveying speed of the conveying belt and the working frequency of the telescopic cylinder.

[0038] By using PLC, the conveying speed of the conveyor belt can be controlled, so that the proofing time of the dough in the proofing tunnel can be adjusted; the extension and retraction frequency of the telescopic cylinder can also be adjusted to control the frequency of dough extrusion, thus adjusting two important parameters of dough forming, which is more practical.

[0039] Example 4

[0040] like Figure 5-7 As shown, the structures of the first forming station 5, the second forming station 6, and the third forming station 7 are further described. Taking the first forming station as an example: the first forming station has four identical vertical rods, namely the first vertical rod 10-1, the second vertical rod 10-2, the third vertical rod 10-3 and the fourth vertical rod 10-4. The four vertical rods are fixedly installed between the upper edge and the lower edge of the proofing tunnel, wherein the first vertical rod and the second vertical rod are on the front side of the conveyor belt, and the third vertical rod and the fourth vertical rod are on the rear side of the conveyor belt. Each vertical rod has two sections of threads, namely the upper thread 11 and the lower thread 12;

[0041] In this embodiment, the first upper platform and the first lower platform are rectangular plate structures. During installation, the upper threads of the four vertical rods pass through the four corners of the first upper platform and are tightened and fixed by nuts, and the lower threads of the four vertical rods pass through the four corners of the first lower platform and are tightened and fixed by nuts; the telescopic cylinder is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the first upper platform.

[0042] The second and third molding stations have the same structure.

[0043] This embodiment provides a specific installation method for the upper platform and the lower platform. In this method, the upper and lower heights of the upper platform and the lower platform can be adjusted by adjusting the nuts. Figure 5-7 As shown, for example, when the upper platform needs to be moved up, the nut on the upper side of the platform is screwed upward, and then the upper platform is lifted upward, and then the nut on the lower side of the platform is screwed upward to press against the upper platform, so that the height position of the upper platform is adjusted. The operation method of the lower platform is the same.

[0044] In this way, by adjusting the height positions of the upper platform and the lower platform, different conveyor belts can be adapted and the extrusion force can be adjusted. The shapes of the first upper platform and the first lower platform are not limited to rectangles, but can be squares, hexagons..., as long as they can be fixed in the proofing tunnel.

[0045] Example 5

[0046] The front surface of the proofing tunnel has openings 13 at positions corresponding to the first forming station 5, the second forming station 6, and the third forming station 7, and blocking cloths are provided at the openings.

[0047] An opening is provided to facilitate operation and maintenance of the three forming stations and to observe the dough extrusion in the tunnel. A blocking cloth is provided to cover the opening when not in use to prevent heat loss in the proofing tunnel.

[0048] In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode contains only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
