[0045] Working principle: First, a conveyor belt 4 is used to convey and place multiple pastries, moving them into the interior of the oven chamber 1. After closing the sealing plate 17, it ensures that the internal heat will not quickly escape. A heat conducting plate 6 is installed on the inner wall of the oven chamber 1. The heat conducting plate 6 surrounds the top and the left and right sides of the inner wall of the oven chamber 1. By starting the heater at the top of the oven chamber 1 to heat the heat conducting tube 8, the heat conducting plate 6 absorbs the dissipated heat, so as to evenly bake the outer surface of the pastries. At the same time, start the exhaust fan 11 on the front side of the oven chamber 1 to suck the hot air inside the heat conducting plate 6 into the exhaust duct 12 through the connecting pipe 9. The exhaust duct 12 is communicated with multiple exhaust hoods 13. The bottom of the conveyor belt 4 is exhausted through the multiple exhaust hoods 13, and the bottom of the pastries is further baked through the holes 5 on the conveyor belt 4 to improve the comprehensiveness of baking. And the mounting plate 201 and the connecting rod 202 are slidably connected to each other. The top end of the connecting rod 202 is fixedly installed with a cleaning brush 203. The cleaning brush 203 passes through the cleaning groove 205 and fits with the surface of the conveyor belt 4. At the same time, due to the tension of the spring 204, the cleaning brush 203 can closely adhere to the outer wall of the conveyor belt 4 for cleaning, and the debris cleaned is collected by the collection box 206. The staff can easily remove the collection box 206 from the top of the support frame 19 for cleaning and garbage dumping, so as to ensure that the cleaning mechanism 2 can work continuously and efficiently.
