Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bread production, in particular to a fermentation device. Background Art

[0002] Bread, also known as noodle, is a food made by grinding grains (usually wheat) and heating them. It uses wheat flour as the main raw material, and yeast, eggs, oil, sugar, salt and other ingredients as auxiliary materials. Water is added to form the dough, and it is processed through processes such as dividing, shaping, proofing, baking and cooling to make a baked food. Fermentation 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.

[0003] After searching, Chinese patent announcement number CN219020076U discloses a bread dough fermentation device, including a device body, a stirring rod is installed in the middle piston inside the device body, a positioning plate is installed in the surface array of the stirring rod, a positioning hole is opened in the surface circumferential array of the positioning plate, a plug rod is movably inserted in the inside of the positioning hole, and the other end of the plug rod is fixedly connected to a turning cylinder, and a vent hole is opened in the surface circumferential array of the turning cylinder. The utility model makes the turning cylinder rotate at the same time through the coordination of the stirring rod, the turning cylinder and the gear and other structures, and then makes the dough inside the turning cylinder turn over, thereby avoiding the dough from adhering to the turning cylinder, and at the same time, through the function of the vent hole, the dough is evenly contacted with the air in the device body, thereby solving the problem that the bottom of the dough ferments slower than other places during the fermentation process, thereby reducing the taste.

When fermenting multiple batches of bread dough, the turning cylinder needs to be cleaned of the internal residue before the next use. Otherwise, the residual yeast and dough in the turning cylinder will easily affect the subsequent fermentation. Utility Model Content
