Specific embodiments
[0019] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , a dough proofing device for bread production, including a proofing cabinet 1 and a tray 2. The bottom wall of the tray 2 is provided with evaporation holes 7, which is beneficial for allowing water vapor to pass through the bottom wall of the tray 2 to proof the dough. A partition 3 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the proofing cabinet 1. A guide rod 4 is fixedly installed between the inner bottom wall of the proofing cabinet 1 and the opposite side of the partition 3. The guide rod 4 is vertically arranged. A movable door 6 is hinged to the front wall of the proofing cabinet 1. A handle is fixedly connected to the movable door 6, which is convenient for closing or opening the movable door 6. A control panel 13 is installed on the front wall of the proofing cabinet 1.
[0021] Among them, a water outlet pipe 11 communicating with the inner cavity of the proofing cabinet 1 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the proofing cabinet 1. A switching valve 12 is installed on the outer surface of the water outlet pipe 11. When the switching valve 12 is opened, the water used during evaporation is discharged through the water outlet pipe 11.
[0022] In addition, an electric heater 14 extending into the interior of the proofing cabinet 1 is installed on the side wall of the proofing cabinet 1 for heating and evaporating the water in the proofing cabinet 1. A humidity regulator 15 is installed on the side wall of the proofing cabinet 1 and at the top of the electric heater 14 for regulating the humidity in the proofing cabinet 1. A temperature regulator 16 is installed on the side wall of the proofing cabinet 1 and at the top of the humidity regulator 15 for regulating the temperature in the proofing cabinet 1.
[0023] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , a folding and unfolding assembly 5 for facilitating the placement and removal of the trays 2 is provided on the proofing cabinet 1 and the guide rods 4. The folding and unfolding assembly 5 includes a fixed plate 51, a movable plate 52, a servo motor 53, a rotating shaft 54, a connecting belt 55, a connecting block 56, a connecting column 57 and a stop block 58. The fixed plate 51 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the guide rod 4. The movable plate 52 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the guide rod 4 and is located above the fixed plate 51. The movable plate 52 slides up and down on the outer surface of the guide rod 4. Support bars 9 are fixedly connected to the tops of both the fixed plate 51 and the movable plate 52. Slots 10 into which the trays 2 are inserted are provided on the support bars 9, which can support the trays 2, facilitating the drainage of the water on the dough and the cooled water on the trays 2. A stop bar corresponding to the support bar 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tray 2 for limiting the tray 2 front and back.
[0024] Moreover, the servo motor 53 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the proofing cabinet 1. The rotating shaft 54 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the servo motor 53. The rotating shaft 54 is rotatably connected to the proofing cabinet 1, which can support both ends of the rotating shaft 54. The connecting belt 55 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 54 and wound around the outer surface of the rotating shaft 54. The connecting belt 55 is fixedly installed on the movable plate 52 located above. After the rotating shaft 54 rotates, the connecting belt 55 can be wound up, thereby pulling the movable plate 52 upward, causing the movable plate 52 and the fixed plate 51 to gradually separate, creating a gap between the fixed plate 51 and the movable plate 52, which is conducive to the passage of water vapor for dough proofing. A through hole 8 for the connecting belt 55 to pass through is provided on the partition plate 3.
[0025] Meanwhile, the connecting block 56 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate 52 and can move with the movable plate 52. The shape of the connecting block 56 is an inverted T shape. The connecting column 57 is fixedly connected to the tops of the fixed plate 51 and the movable plate 52. The connecting block 56 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the connecting column 57. The stop block 58 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting column 57 and corresponds to the connecting block 56. After the connecting block 56 moves upward and contacts the stop block 58, the movable plate 52 connected to the connecting column 57 can be pulled to move, increasing the gap between the fixed plate 51 and the movable plate 52, facilitating the full proofing of the dough. The stop block 58 contacts the movable plate 52. After the stop block 58 and the movable plate 52 come into contact with each other, the staff only needs to squat down to place each tray 2 on the support bar 9 or remove the proofed dough, without the staff having to place or remove the dough from bottom to top or from top to bottom.
[0026] In the use of this embodiment, the movable door 6 is opened, the tray 2 containing the dough is inserted onto the support bar 9, the servo motor 53 is started, the rotating shaft 54 rotates, the connecting belt 55 is wound up, the movable plate 52 and the connecting block 56 located above move upward. After the connecting block 56 touches the stop block 58, it pulls the remaining movable plates 52 to move upward in sequence, so that the interval between the fixed plate 51 and the movable plate 52 becomes larger. Then the servo motor 53 is stopped, water is poured into the proofing cabinet 1, the movable door 6 is closed, the electric heater 14 is started, and after the water is heated and evaporated, the dough is proofed. After the evaporation is completed, the movable door 6 is opened, the servo motor 53 is started in reverse, the rotating shaft 54 rotates in reverse, the connecting belt 55 is released, the fixed plate 51 and the movable plate 52 are stacked together, and the tray 2 containing the proofed dough can be taken out.
[0027] The beneficial effects of the above embodiment are as follows:
[0028] For this bread production dough proofing device, by setting the folding and unfolding assembly 5, after the folding and unfolding assembly 5 is used, under the release of the connecting belt 55 by the rotating shaft 54, due to the self-gravity of the movable plate 52, the tray 2, the connecting block 56, the connecting column 57, the stop block 58, etc., they move downward, so that the fixed plate 51 and the movable plate 52 are stacked together. At this time, the staff only needs to squat down to place the tray 2 containing the dough onto the support bar 9 or remove the tray 2 containing the proofed dough, without the staff having to place it from top to bottom or from bottom to top. It can also make the interval between the fixed plate 51 and the movable plate 52 larger after the connecting belt 55 is wound up, which is beneficial to the dough proofing work.
[0029] The servo motor 53, the electric heater 14, the humidity regulator 15, and the temperature regulator 16 mentioned in the text are all electrically connected to the control panel 13 and the power supply. The control panel 13 can be a conventional known device such as a computer for control, and the existing publicly disclosed electrical connection technology will not be elaborated in the text.
