Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of bread processing devices, in particular to a bread fermentation temperature and humidity control device. Background Art
[0002] Bread is a food made from a combination of flour, sugar, salt, egg liquid, milk and yeast powder. During the fermentation process of bread, the temperature and humidity around the bread will affect the fermentation effect of the bread. Therefore, bread fermentation is generally placed in professional bread fermentation equipment for fermentation, such as a constant temperature and humidity bread production fermentation device disclosed by application number 201910510030.X. This device senses the temperature and humidity inside the box through temperature and humidity sensors, and then controls the temperature and humidity of the bread inside the box through a heating net and an atomizing nozzle. During operation, the rotating disk rotates to drive the placement barrel where the bread is placed to the position of each heating net and atomizing nozzle, so that the heating net and the atomizing basin heat or spray the placement barrel, thereby realizing the control of temperature and humidity regulation in the placement barrel.
[0003] However, as the rotating disk drives the bucket, only the side of the bucket facing the box is heated and sprayed, while the side of the bucket facing the center of the rotating disk is not heated and sprayed. This prevents the inside of the bucket from being evenly heated and sprayed, which can easily affect the quality of bread fermentation. Utility Model Content

It should be understood that these directional terms are relative concepts. They are used for relative description and clarification, and they can change accordingly according to changes in the orientation of the components in the drawings.
[0037] The utility model provides a bread fermentation temperature and humidity control device, as shown in the attached Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the device includes a barrel body 11, a fixed frame 21, a rotating base 3, a placement box 4, a driving gear 51, and a transmission gear 52. Among them, the fixed frame 21, the rotating base 3, the placement box 4, the driving gear 51, and the transmission gear 52 are all arranged on the barrel body 11, and the fixed frame 21 is fixed in the barrel body 11, and the rotating base 3, the placement box 4, the driving gear 51, and the transmission gear 52 are all arranged on the fixed frame 21.
[0038] The surface of the storage box 4 is hollowed out, allowing the storage box 4 to be used for placing bread while also allowing air to circulate inside and outside the storage box 4. A heating module 6 and a humidifying module are also provided within the barrel body 11. The heating module 6 can be an electric heating tube fixed to the inner wall of the barrel body 11, which converts electrical energy into heat energy through the electric heating tube to achieve a temperature control effect. The humidifying module can be an atomizing nozzle fixed to the inner wall of the barrel body 11, and the atomizing nozzle is connected to a water source provided in the barrel body 11 via a pipe. Specifically, the pipe can be passed through the side wall of the barrel body 11 and connected to a water pump, which pumps water from the source to spray from the atomizing nozzle, achieving a humidity control effect. Preferably, a temperature and humidity sensor can also be configured within the barrel body 11, and a control system can be fixed outside the barrel body 11. The control system receives the temperature and humidity inside the barrel body sensed by the temperature and humidity sensor and then controls the operation of the heating module 6 and the humidifying module 7. The specific control method can be that the control system is connected to an operation panel provided outside the barrel body 1, and the operation of the heating module 6 and the humidifying module 7 is controlled by inputting commands through the operation panel, thereby achieving temperature and humidity control during the bread fermentation process.
[0039] As attached Figure 3 As shown, the four sides of the barrel body 11 are fixed with connecting plates 13. The fixing methods not specifically described in this embodiment can be fixed by welding. The connecting plate 13 is provided with a connecting hole 131, and the top of the connecting hole 131 is open. Figure 4 The four side edges of the fixing frame 21 are bent downward to form vertical connecting portions. The connecting portions are fixed with screws on the sides facing the outside of the fixing frame 21, and the screws are adapted to be screwed with nuts. When installing the fixing frame 21, the fixing frame 21 is placed within the space enclosed by the connecting plates 13, and the screws of each connecting portion are inserted into the connecting holes 131 of each connecting plate 13 in a corresponding manner. The nuts are then screwed and fastened to the side of the connecting plate 13 facing away from the connecting portion, thereby securing the fixing frame 21 within the barrel body 11.
[0040] Continue to refer to the attached Figure 4 The fixing frame 21 is fixed with a limiting ring 22, and the inner wall of the limiting ring 22 is provided with concave reversing grooves 221 in four directions. Figure 5 and 6 In one group of corresponding two reversing grooves 221, that is, in the two reversing grooves 221 located at both ends of one diameter line of the limiting ring 22, heating modules 6 are set on both sides of one reversing groove 221, and humidification modules are set on both sides of the other reversing groove 221.
[0041] As attached Figure 2 、 4 As shown in FIG10 , the driving gear 51 is arranged to rotate at the center of the fixed frame 21, and the rotating seat 3 is fixed above the driving gear 51. The arrangement can be as shown in FIG10 . Figure 4The drive shaft 53 is shown connected. Specifically, a bearing seat (not shown) is fixed to the bottom center of the fixed frame 21. The drive shaft 53 is fixed within this bearing seat. After the upper end of the drive shaft 53 passes through the fixed frame 21, it passes through the axis of the drive gear 51 and the axis of the rotating frame 3 in sequence. A third bolt is screwed inwardly on the side of the drive gear 51 until the end of the third bolt engages the drive shaft 53, thereby securing the drive gear 51 and the drive shaft 53. This constrains the drive gear 51 to rotate about the center of the fixed frame 21. Similarly, a third bolt is screwed inwardly on the side of the rotating frame 3 until the end of the third bolt engages the drive shaft 53, securing the rotating frame 3 and the drive shaft 53. The rotating frame 3 is positioned above the drive gear 51. Furthermore, a drive motor 54 is fixed to the bottom of the fixed frame 21. The output shaft of the drive motor 54 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the drive shaft 53 via a coupling. This allows the drive motor 54 to rotate the drive shaft 53, thereby driving the drive gear 51 and the rotating frame 3.
[0042] As attached Figure 4 As shown, the fixed frame 21 is provided with rotatable transmission gears 52 at positions corresponding to the reversing slots 221. Each transmission gear 52 meshes with the drive gear 51, and a pusher 55 is fixed to the transmission gear 52 by bolts. The drive motor 54 drives the drive gear 51 to rotate, and simultaneously drives the transmission gears 52 to rotate on the fixed frame 21, thereby causing each pusher 55 to rotate horizontally outside each reversing slot 221.
[0043] As attached Figure 2 As shown, the rotating seat 3 is a cross-shaped bracket structure, and the rotating shaft 31 is set in the four directions of the rotating seat 3. Figure 11 As shown, countersunk holes are provided on the surface of the rotating base 3 at four locations near the periphery, into which the first bearing is embedded and fixed. A positioning portion 311 with an enlarged diameter is provided at the upper end of the rotating shaft 31. The rotating shaft 31 passes through the inner ring of the first bearing and is fixedly connected to the crossbar 32, so that the positioning portion 311 abuts against the inner ring of the first bearing, thereby restricting the rotation of the rotating shaft 31 on the rotating base 3. In addition, a first bolt 35 is screwed downwardly into the top surface of the positioning portion 311. The first bolt 35 passes through the inner bottom surface of the placement box 4 and is screwed into the positioning portion 311 until the first bolt 35 presses the placement box 4 against the positioning portion 311, thereby forming a structure in which the placement box 4 is fixed to the rotating base 3 above the rotating shaft 31, so that the placement box 4 rotates with the rotation of the rotating shaft 31.
[0044] The lower end of the rotating shaft 31 passes through the rotating seat 3 and is fixed to the cross bar 32. Figures 11 to 13As shown, a hexagonal prism 312 is provided at the lower end of the rotating shaft 31. A second bolt 36 is screwed upwardly into the bottom surface of the hexagonal prism 312. A mounting hole 321 is provided through the center of the crossbar 32. The mounting hole 321 is a regular hexagonal through hole adapted to fit the hexagonal prism. The second bolt 36 is screwed into the bottom surface of the hexagonal prism 312 until the crossbar 32 is pressed against the bottom surface of the rotating shaft 31, thereby fixing the crossbar 32 under the rotating shaft 31 and allowing the crossbar 32 to rotate with the rotation of the rotating shaft 31. In addition, rollers 33 are connected to both ends of the crossbar 32. The rollers 33 can be second bearings. Specifically, a connecting shaft 34 can be fixed under the end of the crossbar 32. The inner ring of the second bearing is sleeved under the connecting shaft 34, and a retaining spring is assembled under the inner ring of the connecting shaft 34. This restricts the second bearing from rotating under the crossbar 32, i.e., restricts the roller 33 from rotating only under the crossbar 32 with the connecting shaft 34 as the axis.
[0045] In addition, as attached Figure 9 As shown, a circular inner baffle 14 is fixed to the top of the transmission shaft 53. The edge of the inner baffle 14 is close to the rotation shaft 31 to cover the rotating base 3, thereby protecting the rotating base 3 and the fixed frame 21 below, the driving gear 51, the transmission gear 52 and other components. The inner wall of the barrel body 11 can also be fixed with an outer baffle 15. The outer baffle 15 is flush with the inner baffle 14, and the inner edge of the outer baffle 15 is also close to the rotation shaft 31, so that a gap is formed between the outer baffle 15 and the inner baffle 14 so that the rotation shaft 31 rotates around the transmission shaft 53 as the axis. Similarly, the outer baffle 15 can also be used to protect the rotating base 3 and the fixed frame 21 below, the driving gear 51, the transmission gear 52 and other components.
[0046] When bread is placed in each placement box 4 and the cover 12 hinged on the barrel body 11 covers the opening of the barrel body 11, the driving motor 54 drives the transmission shaft 53 to rotate, and the driving gear 51 drives the transmission gear 52 to rotate. At the same time, the rotating base 3 drives each cross bar 32 to rotate in the limiting ring 22, and the rollers 33 at both ends of each cross bar 32 move along the inner wall of the limiting ring 22. The specific working process is as follows:
[0047] As attached Figure 5 and 6 As shown, when the rotating seat 3 rotates and drives the rotating shaft 31 to move to a heating module 6, the heating module 6 heats the side of the placement box 4 facing the barrel body 11;
[0048] After that, when the rotating shaft 31 of the rotating seat 3 moves to the point where the roller 33 at one end of the cross bar 32 is outside the reversing groove 221, the transmission gear 52 simultaneously rotates to the pushing member 55 to push the roller 33 outside the reversing groove 221 into the reversing groove 221. The rotating seat 3 continues to rotate to drive the cross bar 32 to rotate around the roller 33 embedded in the reversing groove 221, thereby driving the rotating shaft 31 to rotate, thereby achieving reversal of the two sides of the placement box 4, so that the placement box 4 is converted to face the inner wall of the barrel body 11 with the other side. After that, the rotating seat 3 continues to rotate to drive the roller 33 embedded in the reversing groove 221 to pull out of the reversing groove 221 and move to the other heating module 6. At this time, the other heating module 6 heats the other side of the placement box 4.
[0049] As attached Figure 7 and 8 As shown, when the rotating seat 3 rotates and drives the rotating shaft 31 to move to a humidifying module 7, the humidifying module 7 heats the side of the placement box 4 facing the barrel 11;
[0050] Afterwards, when the rotating shaft 31 of the rotating seat 3 moves to the point where the roller 33 at one end of the cross bar 32 is outside the reversing groove 221, the transmission gear 52 simultaneously rotates to the pushing member 55 to push the roller 33 outside the reversing groove 221 into the reversing groove 221, and the rotating seat 3 continues to rotate to drive the cross bar 32 to rotate with the roller 33 embedded in the reversing groove 221 as the axis, so as to drive the rotating shaft 31 to rotate, thereby realizing the reversal of the two sides of the placement box 4, so that the placement box 4 is converted to the other side facing the inner wall of the barrel body 11, and then the rotating seat 3 continues to rotate to drive the roller 33 embedded in the reversing groove 221 to pull out of the reversing groove 221 and move to another humidification module 7. At this time, the other humidification module 7 heats the other side of the placement box 4.
[0051] When the gear 31 is rotated to move to the position where the roller 33 at one end of the cross bar 32 is located in the reversing groove 221 of the limit ring 22, the synchronous rotation of the transmission gear 52 can realize the rotation of the pusher 55 to push the roller 33 into the reversing groove 221, so that the rotating seat 3 continues to rotate to drive the cross bar 32 to rotate with the roller 33 embedded in the reversing groove 221 as the axis, so that the placement box 4 can achieve reversal on both sides when passing through the reversing groove 221. Before and after the placement box 4 moves to the reversing groove 221, the two sides of the placement box 4 are heated or humidified by the two heating modules 6 or the two humidifying modules 7 respectively. Compared with the method in which only one side of the placement box 4 is treated by the heating module 6 and the humidifying module 7, the bread in the placement box 4 can be more evenly heated and humidified, which is beneficial to improving the quality of bread fermentation production.
[0052] The above is only a specific implementation method of the present invention, but the design concept of the present invention is not limited to this. Any non-substantial changes to the present invention using this concept shall be deemed as an infringement of the protection scope of the present invention.
