[0029] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, after much deliberation, the inventor invented a new type of steamed bun mold, which can make the steamed buns ferment more evenly and efficiently, thereby ensuring the quality of the steamed buns.

[0030] Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the new type of steamed bun mold of the present utility model is shown. As Figure 1 shown, the new type of steamed bun mold of the present utility model includes an inner mold 1 and an outer casing 2. Among them, the inner mold 1 is used for forming steamed buns. The outer casing 2 has a cubic appearance and is sleeved outside the inner mold 1, so that the new type of steamed bun mold can be directly placed on a conveyor for fermentation and steaming, eliminating the need to take out the formed raw steamed buns from the inner mold 1 and then put the raw steamed buns into a steamer.

[0031] Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the inner mold of the new type of steamed bun mold of the present utility model is shown. As Figure 2 shown, similar to the prior art, the inner mold 1 includes a cooperating upper mold 11 and a lower mold 12. The upper mold 11 and the lower mold 12 cooperate with each other to form a complete inner mold, so as to facilitate the introduction of dough into it to form steamed buns.

[0032] Figure 3 The schematic diagram of the upper mold of the inner mold of the new type of steamed bun mold of the present utility model is shown. As Figure 3 shown, the upper mold 11 includes a plurality of semi-cylindrical upper cavities 111 and an upper connecting plate 112 connecting the semi-cylindrical upper cavities 111. Connecting protrusions 113 are provided on the upper connecting plate 112.

[0033] Figure 4 The schematic diagram of the lower mold of the inner mold of the new type of steamed bun mold of the present utility model is shown. As Figure 4As shown, the lower mold 12 includes semi-cylindrical lower cavities 121 that are the same in number as and cooperate with the semi-cylindrical upper cavities 111, and a lower connecting plate 122 that connects the semi-cylindrical lower cavities 121. A connecting groove 123 that cooperates with the connecting protrusion 113 is provided on the lower connecting plate 122.

[0034] The upper mold 11 and the lower mold 12 are connected together through the connecting protrusion 113 and the connecting groove 123. When assembling and disassembling the upper mold 11 and the lower mold 12, only the upper mold 11 and the lower mold 12 need to be pushed and pulled. Therefore, the combination and disassembly of the upper mold 11 and the lower mold 13 are very convenient and fast. At the same time, the upper cavities 111 of the upper mold 11 and the lower cavities 121 of the lower mold 12 cooperate with each other to form a cylindrical inner cavity. By introducing the dough into the cylindrical inner cavity, the shaping of the steamed buns can be carried out. There are no sharp corners in the cylindrical inner cavity. On the one hand, it makes the cleaning and washing of the mold very convenient without sanitary dead corners; on the other hand, it makes the steamed buns made have a beautiful appearance and are not easily damaged.

[0035] In the present utility model, according to the size of the steamer, the upper mold 11 may include 4 - 8 upper cavities 111. Preferably, it includes 6 upper cavities 111.

[0036] Preferably, in the present utility model, according to the size of the steamed buns to be made, the diameter of the cylindrical inner cavity is 60 - 80 mm, and more preferably, it is 70 mm.

As Figure 5As shown, the outer casing 2 includes an upper half casing 21 and a lower half casing 22 that cooperate with each other. Since the outer shape of the inner mold 1 has multiple semi-cylindrical shapes, it is difficult to stack multiple inner molds 1 on top of each other. By providing the outer casing 2, it helps to firmly place the new steamed bun mold on the steamer and also helps in stacking multiple new steamed bun molds on top of each other. The upper half casing 21 and the lower half casing 22 have similar shapes and are mirror images of each other.

[0041] Different from the prior art, in the present utility model, the upper half casing 21 and the lower half casing 22 are connected and fixed together by a plurality of latches 3. Thus, the steamed bun cannot push open the mold during the proofing and steaming process, thereby ensuring the shape and quality of the steamed bun.

[0042] Moreover, in the present utility model, three temperature sensors 5 are respectively provided in the upper half casing 21 and the lower half casing 22.

Thus, the temperature inside the outer casing 2 can be accurately measured.

[0044] Figure 6 Shows a schematic diagram of the upper half casing of the outer casing of the new steamed bun mold of the present utility model. As Figure 6 shown, the upper half casing 21 includes an upper top plate 211. A upper side plate 212 is connected to each of the left and right sides of the upper top plate 211. At the same time, an upper cross plate 213 connecting the two upper side plates 212 is respectively provided at the front and rear sides of the upper half casing 21. An upper ventilation hole 214 is formed between the upper cross plate 213 and the upper top plate 211. The upper half casing 21 is sleeved outside the upper mold 11.

[0045] Figure 7 Shows a schematic diagram of the lower half casing of the outer casing of the new steamed bun mold of the present utility model. As Figure 7 shown, the lower half casing 22 includes a lower bottom plate 221. A lower side plate 222 is connected to each of the left and right sides of the lower bottom plate 221. At the same time, a lower cross plate 223 connecting the two lower side plates 222 is respectively provided at the front and rear sides of the lower half casing 22. A lower ventilation hole 224 is formed between the lower cross plate 223 and the lower bottom plate 221. The lower half casing 22 is sleeved outside the lower mold 12.

[0046] Different from the prior art, in the present utility model, the tops of the upper half box 21 and the lower half box 22 are both provided with first reinforcing ribs 6, and the sides are both provided with second reinforcing ribs 7. Thus, the outer casing 2 is not easily deformed, so that the steamed buns can be ensured not to be deformed, and multiple outer casings 2 can be stacked together more easily.

[0047] Preferably, the width of each first reinforcing rib 6 and each second reinforcing rib 7 is 2-4 cm. More preferably, the width of each first reinforcing rib 6 and each second reinforcing rib 7 is 3 cm. Thus, a better strengthening effect can be obtained.

[0048] When using the novel steamed bun mold of the present utility model, the novel steamed bun mold is placed on a conveyor that is 60-70 meters long, so that the novel steamed bun mold can move forward from front to back on the conveyor. Among them, the first 30 meters are used for fermentation, and the last 30-40 meters are used for steaming. A sealing shell is sleeved outside the conveyor, thereby forming a sealed tunnel that sleeves the conveyor and the novel steamed bun mold thereon. Both ends of the sealed tunnel have openings, which are respectively used for placing the novel steamed bun mold on the conveyor and removing the novel steamed bun mold from the conveyor. And, sealing curtains are provided on the openings to reduce the outflow of heat and steam. A plurality of ventilation holes are provided on the upper side and the lower side of the sealing shell from front to back. Each ventilation hole is connected to a hot steam source through a pipeline, and an opening and closing solenoid valve is provided on each ventilation hole. The temperature sensor 5 and the opening and closing solenoid valve are both connected to the controller. Thus, the controller can control the opening or closing of the opening and closing solenoid valve according to the measured temperature of the temperature sensor 5, so as to control whether to convey hot steam to the novel steamed bun mold. In this way, it is more convenient to control the rising degree of the steamed buns and ensure the quality and quantity.
