Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing, in particular to a secondary fermentation device for making biscuits. Background Technique
[0002] In modern society, the assembly line mode is used for biscuit processing. The assembly line mode decomposes the production process into multiple continuous processes, and each process is completed by specialized equipment or workers. This way enables each link to operate efficiently, thus greatly improving the overall production speed and efficiency. Through assembly line production, enterprises can reduce labor costs and operation time. At the same time, large-scale production can bring economies of scale and reduce the production cost per unit product.
[0003] When processing yeast biscuits or fermented biscuits, a secondary fermentation device is usually used to perform secondary fermentation on the dough.

Detailed implementation mode
[0024] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0025] Embodiment 1. The purpose of this embodiment is to facilitate the solution of the problem that when making biscuits, a large amount of dough is needed, and at this time, the staff can only spread flour layer by layer manually, resulting in low work efficiency. Please refer to Figures 1 - 6 , a secondary fermentation device for making biscuits, including a fermentation box 110 and a placement plate 111 for placing dough. There are several placement plates 111. A fermentation space 112 is opened in the fermentation box 110. The placement plate 111 is movably arranged in the fermentation space 112. A drain tank 113 is opened in the fermentation box 110. The drain tank 113 is communicated with the fermentation space 112. A collection tank 114 is opened in the fermentation box 110. A collection box 115 for collecting water is slidably inserted in the collection tank 114. The inside of the collection box 115 is communicated with the drain tank 113. A box door 116 is hinged on the fermentation box 110. An observation window 117 is arranged on the box door 116. A separation component 120 for facilitating the separation of dough is arranged inside the placement plate 111. Sliders 118 are installed on both sides of the placement plate 111. A chute 119 corresponding to the slider 118 is opened in the fermentation box 110. The chute 119 is communicated with the fermentation space 112. The slider 118 is slidably installed with the chute 119.
[0026] The separation component 120 includes a control groove 121 installed in the placement plate 111. A control rod 122 and a driven rod 129 are arranged in the control groove 121. The driven rod 129 is located on the side of the control rod 122. An anti-sticking tape 123 is sleeved outside the control rod 122 and the driven rod 129, and the anti-sticking tape 123 is made of PVC tape. A driving rack 124 is arranged in the sliding groove 119, and a driving gear 125 is arranged on the driving rack 124. The driving rack 124 meshes with the driving rack 124. One end of the control rod 122 is installed with a connecting rod 126. A through groove 127 corresponding to the connecting rod 126 is opened in the slider 118. The connecting rod 126 is inserted into the driving gear 125 through the through groove 127. A fixed spline 130 is installed outside the connecting rod 126, and a spline groove 131 corresponding to the fixed spline 130 is opened in the driving gear 125. The fixed spline 130 is inserted into the spline groove 131.
[0027] Pull out the placement plate 111, and then put the dough into the placement plate 111. At this time, push the placement plate 111 inward. As the placement plate 111 is pushed, the driving gear 125 meshes with the driving rack 124. Through the meshing of the driving gear 125, the control rod 122 is driven to rotate. At this time, the driven rod 129 will rotate coaxially with the control rod 122, so as to drive the anti-sticking tape 123 to drive the dough to move inward. Then repeat putting the dough on the placement plate 111 again until the placement plate 111 is full of dough.
[0028] At this time, close the box door 116, set the working conditions of the fermentation box 110 such as temperature and humidity, and turn on the fermentation box 110. The fermentation space 112 in the fermentation box 110 starts to work, and the dough ferments under the controlled environment. During the fermentation process, the excess water is discharged through the water drain groove 113 and collected by the collection groove 114 to keep the fermentation environment dry.
[0029] When the secondary fermentation is completed, close the fermentation box 110 and open the box door 116. Pull the placement plate 111 outward. At this time, the driving gear 125 meshes with the driving rack 124 in the reverse direction. At this time, the driving gear 125 drives the driving rod and the driven rod 129 to rotate counterclockwise coaxially, so that the anti-sticking tape 123 drives the dough after secondary fermentation to be taken out. At this time, the staff only needs to use any container for collecting dough to catch the dough taken out from the placement plate 111.
[0030] In this embodiment: By setting up the separation component 120, the manual face-to-face dough handling is reduced, thus significantly improving the production efficiency of biscuits. By using the anti-stick tape 123, it effectively prevents the dough from adhering to the placement plate 111 during the secondary fermentation process, making the dough easier to separate and collect. The operator only needs to draw out the placement plate 111, put the dough in it and then put it into the fermentation box 110, set the fermentation conditions, and then wait for the fermentation to complete. The process is simple and easy to understand, easy to operate and maintain. The automated equipment reduces the chance of manual contact with the dough, which helps to improve the hygiene level of food processing.
[0031] Embodiment 2. This embodiment aims to facilitate the solution of the problem that when the placement plate 111 is damaged, it cannot be disassembled for maintenance. This embodiment is an improvement based on Embodiment 1. Specifically, please refer to Figures 1 - 6 .
[0032] An unlocking rod 132 is sleeved outside the connecting rod 126. An unlocking groove 133 corresponding to the unlocking rod 132 is opened in the placement plate 111. The unlocking rod 132 is inserted into the unlocking groove 133. A spring 134 is sleeved outside the connecting rod 126. The spring 134 is located on the side of the unlocking rod 132. A control button 135 is installed at the end of the unlocking rod 132. A handle 140 for easy extraction is installed on the placement plate 111. An arc surface 141 is provided on the handle 140. A heat-insulating sleeve 142 is sleeved on the handle 140. The heat-insulating sleeve 142 is set as a cloth sleeve. A plurality of heat dissipation holes 143 are opened in the rear wall of the fermentation box 110. A dust-proof net is arranged in the heat dissipation holes 143. 144
[0033] Equipped with the handle 140 and the heat-insulating sleeve 142, it is convenient for the staff to better hold and move the placement plate 111 during the operation and maintenance process. The design of the heat-insulating sleeve 142 improves the use safety and prevents scalding the operator at high temperatures. The heat dissipation holes 143 on the rear wall of the fermentation box 110 are equipped with dust-proof nets, which helps to prevent dust and sundries from entering the interior of the fermentation box 110, keep the internal environment of the equipment clean, and extend the service life of the equipment.
[0034] When the placement plate 111 is damaged, pull the handle 140 to pull out the placement plate 111. At this time, toggle the control button 135 so that the unlocking lever 132 drives the connecting rod 126 to move into the placement plate 111. As the connecting rod 126 moves, the fixed spline 130 is separated from the spline groove 131. At this time, pull the placement plate 111 outwards again to disassemble the placement plate 111 for maintenance. After the placement plate 111 is maintained, toggle the control button 135 again to retract the connecting rod 126 into the placement plate 111. Then align the slider 118 of the placement plate 111 with the chute 119. At this time, the connecting rod 126 is aligned with the driving gear 125. Then release the control button 135. Since a spring 134 is sleeved outside the connecting rod 126 and the spring 134 has the ability of automatic recovery, when the control button 135 loses the applied force, the connecting rod 126 will be driven by the spring 134 to move towards the driving gear 125. At this time, the fixed spline 130 will be engaged with the spline groove 131. Thus, the disassembly and maintenance of the placement plate 111 are completed.
[0035] In this embodiment: By introducing the unlocking lever 132, the control button 135 and the spring 134 mechanism, the disassembly and maintenance of the placement plate 111 become simpler and more convenient. The staff only needs to pull the handle 140 and toggle the control button 135 to quickly disassemble the placement plate 111 from the fermentation box 110 for repair or replacement.
