Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pastry baking technology, specifically relating to a pastry baking fermentation incubator. Background Technology

[0002] In pastry baking, fermentation is a crucial step. Fermentation chambers are specifically designed to regulate temperature and humidity to create a suitable fermentation environment. Temperature control is paramount during fermentation, and fermentation chambers ensure that the temperature remains stable within an optimal range, maintaining the ideal temperature for dough fermentation. Therefore, during dough fermentation, workers need to observe the dough's progress inside the chamber. Currently, most fermentation chambers are monitored by opening the sealed door, a process that can easily cause temperature fluctuations, affecting the fermentation process and leading to a decline in pastry quality.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN220859306U discloses a fermentation incubator for pastry baking, comprising a fermentation incubator with an internal adjustment device and a heat preservation device on its surface. The internal adjustment device includes grooves at both ends, a rectangular plate, a limiting ring, an adjusting rotating rod, a hydraulic telescopic rod, a limiting thin rod, an inner culture box, a pin hole, and a pin rod. The grooves at both ends are formed on the inner wall of the fermentation incubator, and the hydraulic telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the grooves at both ends. This fermentation incubator for pastry baking, with its internal adjustment device, allows users to easily monitor the internal fermentation process, and the height of the inner culture box can be slightly adjusted. Adjustment is achieved by raising or lowering the rectangular plate using the hydraulic telescopic rod, facilitating adjustment and user monitoring. However, workers need to open the sealed door of the fermentation box to observe the fermentation process, causing temperature fluctuations and affecting the fermentation process.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Example 1:

[0021] like Figures 1-7As shown, this utility model provides a pastry baking fermentation incubator, including a frame 1, on which a fermentation box 2 is fixedly installed. The fermentation box 2 is equipped with a sealing door 3. A fermentation basin 5 is movably installed in the fermentation box 2 via a guide frame 4. A limiting seat 6 is fixedly installed at one end of the guide frame 4, and a buffer pad 7 is fixedly installed on the limiting seat 6. A robotic arm 8 is fixedly installed inside the fermentation box 2. The robotic arm 8 includes a longitudinal moving mechanism 9 and a transverse moving structure 10. The longitudinal moving mechanism 9 is driven by a longitudinal motor 11 and connected to the transverse moving structure 10. A moving structure 10 is connected to a moving platform 13 via a transverse motor 12. An angle adjustment motor 15 is fixedly mounted on the moving platform 13 via a motor mount 14. The angle adjustment motor 15 is connected to a camera 17 via a reducer 16. An assembly frame 18 is fixedly mounted on the motor mount 14, and a diffuse reflector 19 is fixedly mounted on the assembly frame 18. A support plate 20 is fixedly mounted on the moving platform 13, and a light source 22 is fixedly mounted on the support plate 20 via a fixing block 21. A display screen 23 and a control console 24 are fixedly mounted on the frame 1 via a support rod 27. The diffuse reflector 19 has a tilt angle of 50°, and the axis of the light source 22 intersects the center point of the end face of the diffuse reflector 19. The buffer pad 7 is made of soft silicone. The control console 24 is equipped with a control joystick 25 and a control button 26.

[0022] Through the above technical solution, this utility model installs a robotic arm 8 inside the fermentation box 2. A display screen 23 and a control console 24 are fixedly mounted on the frame 1 via support rods. The control console 24 controls the robotic arm 8 to drive the moving platform 13 to move. A camera 17, a diffuser 19, and a light source 22 are installed on the moving platform. The tilt angle of the camera 17 is adjusted by the angle adjustment motor 15. When observing the internal conditions of the fermentation box 2, the camera 17 captures images of the pastries in the fermentation basin 5 and transmits them to the display screen. The operator controls the movement of the robotic arm 8 and the angle adjustment motor 15 via the control console 24, and controls the camera 17. The position and tilt angle of the camera 17 are adjusted to facilitate the operator's observation of the fermentation process of the pastries inside the fermentation chamber 2. During the recording process, the light source 22 shines on the diffuser plate 19, illuminating the internal space of the fermentation basin 5, which is convenient for the camera 17 to capture images. This utility model controls the robotic arm 8 and the angle adjustment motor 15 through the control console 24 to adjust the position and tilt angle of the camera 17. The camera 17 transmits the captured images back to the monitor, allowing the operator to indirectly observe the fermentation process of the pastries inside the fermentation chamber 2 without opening the sealed door 3 of the fermentation chamber 2. This prevents temperature fluctuations in the fermentation chamber 2 from affecting the dough fermentation process and improves the quality of the pastries.

[0023] Example 2:

[0024] like Figures 1-7As shown, the frame 1 of this utility model is fixedly equipped with a fermentation chamber 2, which has a sealing door 3. The fermentation chamber 2 is the core part of the equipment. Inside the fermentation chamber 2, a fermentation basin 5 is movably installed via a guide frame 4. A limiting seat 6 is fixedly installed at one end of the guide frame 4. The function of the limiting seat 6 is to restrict the insertion position of the fermentation basin 5, ensuring that the fermentation basin 5 is neatly arranged inside the fermentation chamber 2 for easy capture by the camera 17. A buffer pad 7 is fixedly installed on the limiting seat 6. The buffer pad 7 acts as a buffer when the fermentation basin 5 is inserted or removed, reducing impact damage to the fermentation basin 5.

[0025] A robotic arm 8 is fixedly installed inside the fermentation tank 2. The robotic arm 8 consists of a longitudinal moving mechanism 9 and a transverse moving structure 10. The longitudinal moving mechanism 9 is driven by a longitudinal motor 11 and connected to the transverse moving structure 10, while the transverse moving structure 10 is driven by a transverse motor 12 and connected to the moving stage 13. This design allows the robotic arm 8 to perform precise two-dimensional movement inside the fermentation tank 2, enabling comprehensive imaging and observation of the fermentation basin 5.

[0026] An angle adjustment motor 15 is fixedly mounted on the moving stage 13. This motor drives the camera 17 via a reducer 16. The function of the angle adjustment motor 15 is to adjust the tilt angle of the camera 17, allowing the camera 17 to adjust the shooting angle according to different needs to obtain the best observation effect. A mounting bracket 18 is fixedly mounted on the motor base 14. A diffuse reflector 19 is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 18. The function of the diffuse reflector 19 is to uniformly reflect light, avoiding direct illumination of the camera 17, which would cause image overexposure or reflection and affect the observation effect.

[0027] The mobile platform 13 is also fixedly equipped with a support plate 20, on which a light source 22 is fixedly mounted via a fixing block 21. The function of the light source 22 is to provide sufficient light during the filming process, illuminating the interior space of the fermentation tank 5, so that the camera 17 can clearly capture the situation inside the fermentation tank 5. Through the control console 24, the operator can control the movement of the robotic arm 8 and the angle adjustment motor 15, thereby controlling the position and tilt angle of the camera 17, and achieving precise observation of the internal situation of the fermentation tank 2.

[0028] The display screen 23 and control console 24 are fixedly mounted on the frame 1 by a support rod. The operator can operate the robotic arm 8 through the control console 24 and simultaneously observe the images transmitted back from the camera 17 on the display screen 23. This design allows the operator to monitor the inside of the fermentation chamber 2 in real time without directly opening the sealed door 3, avoiding temperature fluctuations caused by frequent opening of the sealed door 3, thus ensuring the stability of the dough fermentation process and improving the quality of the pastries.

[0029] Fermentation chamber 2 is equipped with temperature and humidity sensors. These sensors monitor the environmental conditions inside fermentation chamber 2 in real time and transmit the data to control console 24. The operator can adjust the temperature and humidity of fermentation chamber 2 via control console 24 based on the sensor data to ensure the dough ferments in an optimal environment. The internal surface of fermentation chamber 2 is made of an easy-to-clean material to reduce bacterial growth and residue buildup.

[0030] Regarding the operation of the robotic arm 8, the device features both automatic and manual modes. In automatic mode, the robotic arm 8 can operate automatically according to a preset program, reducing manual intervention and improving work efficiency. In manual mode, the operator can precisely control the robotic arm 8 via the control console 24 to handle special situations or perform delicate operations.

[0031] The diffuse reflector plate 19 of this invention has an inclination angle of 50°. Depending on the arrangement density of the fermentation basins 5, this angle can be set between 40° and 70° to ensure that light can illuminate the fermentation basins 5 over the largest possible area, thereby ensuring uniform light distribution inside the fermentation basins 5 and avoiding areas that are too bright or too dark. This is crucial for the camera 17 to capture clear images. The axis of the light source 22 intersects the center point of the end face of the diffuse reflector plate 19, ensuring that the light emitted by the light source 22 can directly illuminate the diffuse reflector plate 19 and be uniformly reflected into the fermentation basins 5, providing sufficient illumination for the camera 17 and improving image quality.

[0032] The cushioning pad 7 of this invention is made of soft silicone. Its function in the pastry baking fermentation incubator is to reduce the impact on the internal structure of the fermentation chamber 2 during the insertion or removal of the fermentation bowl 5, preventing damage to the fermentation bowl 5. The cushioning pad 7 is made of soft silicone, a material with good elasticity and flexibility, which can absorb impact and reduce vibration when the fermentation bowl 5 is moved.

[0033] The control console 24 of this invention is equipped with a control joystick 25 and a control button 26. The joystick 25 controls the movement of the robotic arm 8, and the control button 26 controls the rotation of the angle adjustment motor 15 to adjust the position and tilt angle of the camera 17. This allows the operator to flexibly adjust the position of the robotic arm 8 according to the specific location of the fermentation basin 5 and the observation requirements, so that the camera 17 can be aimed at the target area for imaging.
