[0027] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, a cooling and sterilizing device for bread dough includes a roller conveyor 1, a protective box 2, a cooling mechanism 3 and a sterilizing mechanism 4.

[0029] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, roller conveyor 1 is used to transport bread dough. It is curved to increase the bread dough's movement time, ensuring it lasts longer than 30 minutes and ensuring adequate cooling and sterilization. A protective box 2 is installed outside roller conveyor 1, forming a transmission channel with two open ends. Both ends of roller conveyor 1 extend outside protective box 2.

[0030] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, a cooling mechanism 3 is disposed within the protective box 2 and is used to cool and shape the bread dough. The cooling mechanism 3 includes a refrigerator 31 and a cooling pipe 32. The refrigerator 31 is disposed on the ground, and the cooling pipe 32 is serpentinely disposed on the top wall of the protective box 2. A water collection tray 33 is provided within the protective box 2 below the cooling pipe 32 to collect water droplets from the cooling pipe 32 and prevent contamination of the bread dough.

[0031] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, a sterilization mechanism 4 is disposed within the protective box 2 and is used to sterilize the bread dough in all directions. The sterilization mechanism 4 includes multiple ultraviolet lamps 41, an ozone generator 42, a delivery pipe 43, and an exhaust pipe 44. The ultraviolet lamps 41 are distributed around the inner wall of the protective box 2, and the ozone generator 42 is installed on the ground.

[0032] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the delivery pipe 43 is set at the four corners of the middle position of the protection box 2 and is connected to the ozone generator 42. The delivery pipe 43 is provided with an exhaust hole 45 toward the roller conveyor 1. The exhaust pipe 44 is vertically set on the protection box 2 and communicates with the interior of the protection box 2.

[0033] When the bread dough is being cooled and sterilized, no one is in the workshop to avoid harm from ozone. At the same time, an ozone detection alarm can be added at the end of the protective box 2, and the machine can be shut down for treatment if the concentration is too high.

[0034] Then, the bread embryos are transferred one by one from the outside to the roller conveyor 1, so that the bread embryos are gradually transferred into the protective box 2. At the same time, the cooperation of the refrigerator 31 and the cooling pipe 32 forms a low-temperature cooling channel in the protective box 2, which can realize the cooling and shaping of the bread embryos, ensuring that the bread embryos are complete and have a beautiful appearance.

[0035] At the same time, with the combination of the ultraviolet lamp 41 and the ozone generator 42, the ultraviolet lamp 41 can be used to sterilize various positions of the bread dough, and the ozone generated by the ozone generator 42 can be transported along the conveying pipe 43 to the protective box 2 to achieve further sterilization of the bread dough. The entire cooling area can also be sterilized to prevent bacterial growth and ensure the safety of the bread.

[0036] like Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, a conveyor belt 5 is installed at the starting point of the protective box 2. The conveyor belt 5 is higher than the roller conveyor 1 and is located above the starting point of the roller conveyor 1. A loading box 6 is installed next to the protective box 2. The loading box 6 contains stacked transparent trays 61 for holding bread dough. A support plate 62 supporting the trays 61 is vertically slidably connected to the loading box 6. An electric push rod 63 is installed between the bottom wall of the loading box 6 and the support plate 62.

[0037] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, a loading mechanism 7 is provided on the loading box 6 , and the loading mechanism 7 is used to transport the pallet 61 to the roller conveyor 1 and is located below the terminal end of the conveyor belt 5 .

[0038] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, the feeding mechanism 7 includes a mounting frame 71, a suspension 72, a slider 73, a cylinder 74 and a material picker 8. The mounting frame 71 is vertically arranged on the feeding box 6, and the suspension 72 is horizontally arranged on the mounting frame 71, and is located above the feeding box 6, and extends to the top of the roller conveyor 1. The slider 73 is horizontally slidably connected to the suspension 72, and the cylinder 74 is used to control the horizontal sliding of the slider 73.

[0039] like Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, the picker 8 is arranged at the lower end of the slider 73 and is used to pick up the tray 61. The picker 8 includes a support frame 81, a picker tube 82, a hydraulic cylinder 83, a suction cup 84, a piston 85 and an electric cylinder 86.

[0040] like Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, a support frame 81 is mounted on the slider 73, a feeding tube 82 is vertically mounted on the support frame 81, and a hydraulic cylinder 83 is used to control the vertical sliding of the feeding tube 82. A suction cup 84 is connected to the lower end of the feeding tube 82, a piston 85 is vertically slidably connected to the feeding tube 82, and an electric cylinder 86 is used to control the vertical sliding of the piston 85.

[0041] When the bread dough needs to be cooled and sterilized, the conveyor belt 5 stably transports the bread dough one by one. At the same time, the stacked trays 61 are placed in the loading box 6, and the electric push rod 63 is used to control the intermittent vertical movement of the support plate 62 to realize the supply of the tray 61.

[0042] The air cylinder 74 is then used to control the sliding of the slider 73, causing it to slide above the loading box 6. The hydraulic cylinder 83 then controls the material collection tube 82 and the suction cup 84 to slide downward until the suction cup 84 contacts the uppermost tray 61. The electric cylinder 86 then controls the piston 85 to move upward, generating negative pressure in the material collection tube 82, thereby sucking the uppermost tray 61. The hydraulic cylinder 83 then controls the material collection tube 82 and the suction cup 84 to slide upward, thereby obtaining the tray 61.

[0043] Then, the air cylinder 74 is used to control the slider 73 to slide in the opposite direction, so that the slider 73 slides to the top of the roller conveyor 1. Then, the hydraulic cylinder 83 controls the material collection pipe 82 and the suction cup 84 to slide downward until the tray 61 is placed on the roller conveyor 1. The electric cylinder 86 controls the piston 85 to move downward, so that positive pressure is generated in the material collection pipe 82, thereby placing the tray 61 on the roller conveyor 1 and realizing the loading of the tray 61.

[0044] The bread dough on the conveyor belt 5 then falls one by one onto the tray 61. The tray 61 supports the bread dough and prevents deformation caused by the roller conveyor 1. Furthermore, because the tray 61 is made of transparent material, the ultraviolet light 41 can penetrate the tray 61 and sterilize the bottom of the bread dough. During the sterilization process, the tray 61 is also sterilized, allowing it to support the bread dough for baking later, preventing bacterial growth from occurring in multiple ways and ensuring the safety of the bread.

After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to the embodiments as needed. However, as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by patent law.
