Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of bread production, in particular to a special fermentation container for fermenting bread. Background Art

[0002] Bread is a kind of food made by grinding grains (usually wheat) and heating them. Wheat flour is the main raw material, and yeast, eggs, oil, sugar, salt and other ingredients are used as auxiliary materials. Water is added to make the dough, and it is processed through processes such as segmentation, shaping, proofing (fermentation), baking, and cooling. The most important of these is the fermentation and proofing process, which directly affects the subsequent taste and flavor of the bread. By fermenting the sugar in the dough, the yeast produces a large amount of carbon dioxide bubbles, giving the final product a characteristic honeycomb structure. Usually, the fermentation process requires the assistance of corresponding containers, sometimes a certain sealing effect is required, and sometimes a certain temperature needs to be maintained, but conventional fermentation containers have the following disadvantages in actual use:

[0003] 1. Bread production is mostly done in professional processing places, and it is rarely made at home. However, bread is mostly made in large quantities in processing plants and other places, so conventional small containers cannot meet the needs. Secondly, too much volume cannot be used for overall fermentation, which may affect the inconsistent taste of the inner and outer layers. Therefore, a container that can meet large-scale and independent fermentation is needed to meet the use needs;

[0004] 2. In the fermentation process, fermentation mainly refers to the process in which people use the life activities of microorganisms under aerobic or anaerobic conditions to prepare the microbial cells themselves, or direct metabolites or secondary metabolites; then in the process of bread fermentation, a certain temperature and humidity are usually required to meet the required environment for fermentation, increase the fermentation effect, and reduce the fermentation time, and conventional fermentation containers obviously do not have such conditions. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a special fermentation container for fermenting bread, which solves the problems that the fermentation container lacks the function of realizing large-scale and independent fermentation and the fermentation container lacks a constant temperature and humidity fermentation environment by arranging a fermentation box, a tray, a fermentation basin, a partition, a water storage cylinder, a heating tube, a connecting rod and a base plate.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model is realized by the following technical solutions:

[0007] The utility model is a special fermentation container for fermenting bread, comprising a fermentation box, a tray, a fermentation basin, a water storage cylinder, a connecting rod and a heating pipe. The front side of the fermentation box is hingedly connected with a box door, the heating pipes are fixed on two right-angled sides away from the box door in the fermentation box, and the water storage cylinders are fixed on the two inner walls of the fermentation box close to the box door and close to the heating pipe at equal distances.

[0008] The fermentation box is provided with trays that are evenly spaced from top to bottom, and symmetrically arranged connecting rods are fixed between every two adjacent trays, and base plates are fixed at positions on the outer periphery of the connecting rods close to the inner wall of the fermentation box;

[0009] Except for the uppermost tray, the upper ends of the remaining trays are all fixed with limiting rings, and a fermentation basin is placed on the tray within the limiting ring, and a partition is inserted in the fermentation basin.

[0010] Furthermore, a motor is fixed at the center of the upper end of the fermentation box, and the output shaft of the motor extends downward into the interior of the fermentation box and is fixedly connected to the top of the uppermost tray.

[0011] Furthermore, a vent is provided through the top of the fermentation box on one side of the motor, an annular groove is provided at the inner bottom of the fermentation box, and balls distributed in an annular array are rollingly connected to the bottom of the tray at the bottom, and the lower part of the balls rolls in the annular groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the height of the water storage cylinder is lower than the height of the fermentation basin, and the upper end of the water storage cylinder and the upper end of the fermentation basin are on the same horizontal line.

[0013] Furthermore, an L-shaped water pipe is fixedly passed through one side of the water storage cylinder close to the fermentation box, and an end of the water pipe away from the water storage cylinder passes through the fermentation box and extends upward and is fixed with a liquid inlet hopper.

[0014] Furthermore, the partition is formed by three panels fixed to each other in an interlaced manner, and a clamping joint is fixed to one end of the upper part of the partition away from each other, and the clamping joint is clamped at the upper edge of the fermentation basin.

[0015] Furthermore, the connecting rod is located outside the limiting ring, and a sealing gasket is fixed on a surface of the box door close to the fermentation box.

[0016] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The utility model solves the problem that the fermentation container lacks the function of realizing large-scale and independent fermentation by arranging a fermentation box, a tray, a fermentation basin, and a partition. A large number of trays are arranged to place the fermentation basins, so that the fermentation basins can be placed in the fermentation box for fermentation treatment, which can meet the fermentation needs of large quantities of fermented products without excessive accumulation. Secondly, a partition is also inserted in the fermentation basin to divide the dough in the fermentation basin into equal amounts, and even saves the dividing process, ensuring that the size of the dough fermented subsequently is almost the same, thereby realizing large-scale simultaneous fermentation operations, and ensuring equal and independent fermentation treatment, ensuring a good fermentation effect.

[0018] 2. The utility model solves the problem of lack of constant temperature and humidity fermentation environment in the fermentation container by arranging a water storage cylinder, a heating tube, a fermentation box, a connecting rod and a base plate. A certain amount of water is stored in the water storage cylinder to ensure that the fermentation box has a certain humidity. The heating tube is then used to maintain a constant temperature in the fermentation box. The motor is used to drive the tray to rotate, so that the temperature and humidity contacted by the dough are more uniform, ensuring the constant temperature and humidity treatment effect. When the tray rotates, the connecting rod and the base plate rotate, which will drive the air flow in the fermentation box to make the temperature and humidity distribution more uniform.

[0031] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0032] See also Figure 1-9 As shown, the utility model is a special fermentation container for fermenting bread, comprising a fermentation box 1, a tray 2, a fermentation basin 3, a water storage cylinder 4, a connecting rod 5 and a heating pipe 6. The front side of the fermentation box 1 is hingedly connected with a box door 102, and the heating pipe 6 is fixed on two right-angled sides of the fermentation box 1 away from the box door 102. The water storage cylinders 4 are equidistantly fixed on the two inner walls of the fermentation box 1 close to the box door 102 and close to the heating pipe 6.

[0033] The front side of the fermentation box 1 can be closed by closing the box door 102. The heating tube 6 is used to provide a certain temperature in the fermentation box 1 to facilitate fermentation. A certain amount of drinking water is stored in the water storage cylinder 4 to meet a certain humidity requirement to avoid cracking of the fermented dough due to excessive dryness.

[0034] The fermentation box 1 is provided with trays 2 which are evenly spaced from top to bottom, and symmetrically arranged connecting rods 5 are fixed between every two adjacent trays 2, and base plates 501 are fixed at positions on the outer periphery of the connecting rods 5 close to the inner wall of the fermentation box 1;

[0035] The tray 2 is used to carry the fermentation basin 3, and the trays 2 are connected by connecting rods 5 to form a whole, which is convenient for subsequent overall rotation. When rotating, the connecting rod 5 and the base plate 501 thereon will form a circular motion, thereby driving the air flow in the fermentation box 1, so that the temperature and humidity are more uniform, and the phenomenon of excessive local temperature and humidity will not occur. The rotation of the tray 2 will also drive the dough in the fermentation basin 3 to rotate, so that the temperature and humidity environment it contacts is evenly distributed;

[0036] Except for the top tray 2, the upper ends of the remaining trays 2 are all fixed with a limiting ring 201, and a fermentation basin 3 is placed on the tray 2 inside the limiting ring 201, and a separator 301 is inserted into the fermentation basin 3;

[0037] The limiting ring 201 is used to limit the movement of the fermentation basin 3 to prevent the fermentation basin 3 from shifting when the tray 2 rotates, and a partition 301 is arranged in the fermentation basin 3 to separate the dough to be fermented to form independent fermentation individuals, making subsequent processing more convenient.

[0038] A motor 101 is fixed at the center of the upper end of the fermentation box 1, and the output shaft of the motor 101 extends downward into the interior of the fermentation box 1 and is fixedly connected to the top of the uppermost tray 2;

[0039] The motor 101 works to drive the uppermost tray 2 to rotate, and driven by the connecting rod 5, the remaining trays 2 and the fermentation basins 3 thereon will also rotate accordingly to be evenly exposed to the temperature and humidity environment.

[0040] A vent 103 is also provided on the top of the fermentation box 1 on one side of the motor 101. An annular groove 104 is provided on the inner bottom of the fermentation box 1. Balls 202 distributed in an annular array are rollingly connected to the bottom of the tray 2 located at the bottom. The lower part of the ball 202 rolls in the annular groove 104.

[0041] The vent 103 can be rotated to close the seal or open according to actual needs. The bottom tray 2 uses the ball 202 to cooperate with the roller in the ring groove 104, which saves the tension of the output shaft of the motor 101, reduces energy consumption, and assists in stable rotation.

[0042] The height of the water storage cylinder 4 is lower than that of the fermentation basin 3 , and the upper end of the water storage cylinder 4 is on the same horizontal line as the upper end of the fermentation basin 3 ; the dough in the fermentation basin 3 can be better exposed to water.

[0043] An L-shaped water pipe 401 is fixedly passed through the side of the water storage cylinder 4 close to the fermentation box 1, and the end of the water pipe 401 away from the water storage cylinder 4 passes through the fermentation box 1 and extends upward and is fixed with a liquid inlet hopper 402;

[0044] The water pipe 401 is transparent, and the upper end of the water pipe 401 is flush with the upper end of the water storage cylinder 4. The liquid level in the water storage cylinder 4 can be known through the liquid level of the water pipe 401, and drinking water can be added at an appropriate time in conjunction with the liquid inlet hopper 402.

[0045] The partition 301 is formed by three panels fixed to each other in an interlaced manner, and a clamping joint 3011 is fixed to one end of the upper part of the partition 301 away from each other, and the clamping joint 3011 is clamped to the upper edge of the fermentation basin 3, so as to facilitate clamping and fixing.

[0046] The connecting rod 5 is located outside the limiting ring 201, and a sealing gasket 1021 is fixed on the side of the box door 102 close to the fermentation box 1; the sealing gasket 1021 can maintain the sealing requirement when the box door 102 is closed.

[0047] The specific working principle of the utility model is as follows: first, the dough to be fermented is placed in the fermentation basin 3, and a partition 301 is provided in the fermentation basin 3 to separate the dough to be fermented to form independent fermentation individuals, and then the fermentation basin 3 is placed on the tray 2, and the movement of the fermentation basin 3 is limited by the limit ring 201 to prevent the fermentation basin 3 from shifting when the tray 2 rotates, until all the fermentation basins 3 are placed, and then the box door 102 is closed, and the sealing gasket 1021 can be used to maintain the sealing requirement when the box door 102 is closed;

[0048] Subsequently, drinking water is added through the liquid inlet hopper 402 and transported to the water storage cylinder 4 through the water pipe 401 to keep the humidity in the fermentation box 1 sufficient. The water pipe 401 is transparent, and the upper end of the water pipe 401 is flush with the upper end of the water storage cylinder 4. The liquid level in the water storage cylinder 4 can be known through the liquid level of the water pipe 401. Secondly, the heating tube 6 is turned on to provide a certain temperature for convenient fermentation. Subsequently, the motor 101 is turned on to drive the top tray 2 to rotate, and driven by the connecting rod 5, the remaining trays 2 and the fermentation basin 3 thereon will also rotate accordingly. During rotation, the connecting rod 5 and the base plate 501 thereon will form a circular motion, thereby driving the air flow in the fermentation box 1, so that the temperature and humidity are more uniform. The rotation of the tray 2 will also drive the dough in the fermentation basin 3 to rotate, so that it is evenly exposed to the warm and humid environment, which is convenient for rapid fermentation.
