Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a humidification device, and more particularly to a humidification device for fermentation. Background Technology

[0002] Fermentation is a biochemical process catalyzed by microorganisms (such as yeast and lactic acid bacteria) or enzymes, converting organic matter (such as sugars) into energy and metabolic products. Fermentation has wide applications in many fields, including food, beverages, and pharmaceuticals. Humidification during fermentation enhances the activity of microorganisms and improves fermentation efficiency by providing suitable humidity conditions.

[0003] In existing humidification devices, the atomizing nozzles are positioned in a fixed location, making it impossible to adjust them according to different fermentation needs. For example, small-batch high-end products have higher requirements for humidity and dough quality. If the distance is too far, the water mist will diffuse over a wider area in the air, potentially leading to uneven mist distribution and inconsistent humidity on the dough surface. Furthermore, if the water mist remains in the air for too long, it will increase evaporation loss. This could result in a situation where the humidity inside the chamber meets the standard, but the humidity on the dough surface is still insufficient. If humidification continues, the dough may become too wet; if humidification is not continued, the dough surface may become too dry, affecting product quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing humidification devices with fixed atomizing nozzle positions that cannot be adjusted according to different fermentation needs, this utility model can provide a humidification device for fermentation.

[0005] The technical solution is as follows: A humidifying device for fermentation includes a box body, a door, a handle, fixed blocks, sliding plates, screws, a servo motor, a water pipe, an atomizing nozzle, a guide rod, a water storage tank, a water pump, a connecting pipe, a water filling cover, a temperature and humidity sensor, and a control panel. The box body contains four fixed blocks, with a sliding plate connecting every two symmetrically placed blocks. Each sliding plate has a threaded hole on its left side and a through hole on its right side. A screw and a guide rod are respectively located on the left and right sides of the bottom of the box body. The screw penetrates the top of the box body and is threaded into the threaded hole on the left side of each sliding plate. The guide rod is connected to the through hole on the right side of each sliding plate. The servo motor is located at the top of the housing, and its output shaft is connected to the screw. The water tank is located at the rear of the housing, with a water filling cover on top. A water pump is installed inside the water tank, and a connecting pipe is connected to the water pump's delivery end. Two water guide pipes are connected to the end of the connecting pipe away from the water pump. The two water guide pipes are located above the two sliding plates and pass through the water tank and the rear wall of the housing. Each branch pipe on the water guide pipe has three atomizing nozzles at its bottom. A door is located on the front of the housing, with a handle on the front side of the door. The temperature and humidity sensor is located at the front end of the upper water guide pipe. A control panel is located on the front of the housing, and the temperature and humidity sensor, servo motor, water pump, and fan are all electrically connected to the control panel.

[0006] Furthermore, the center of the door is designed with a semi-transparent material.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a fan, a ventilation hood, a filter screen, and an exhaust hood. An exhaust vent is located on the left side inside the housing, and an exhaust hood is installed inside the exhaust vent. A ventilation opening is located on the right side inside the housing, and both the ventilation hood and the fan are located inside the ventilation opening. Filter screens are installed on the right side of the exhaust hood and the left side of the ventilation hood.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes casters, with casters located at the bottom of the box.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a heating plate, which is located at the bottom of the inner side of the box.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a sewage tank and a piston. The bottom of the inner side of the tank has symmetrical grooves, and the rear side of the tank has two rectangular holes that communicate with the two grooves respectively. The sewage tank is located on the rear side of the tank, and the bottom of the sewage tank is equipped with a piston.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. By combining the screw, servo motor and sliding plate, if dough with high fermentation quality is required, the distance between the atomizing nozzle and the sliding plate can be adjusted to ensure that the humidity inside the box and the humidity on the surface of the flour are at the optimal state, thereby improving product quality and fermentation effect.

[0012] 2. The design of the fan, ventilation hood, filter, and exhaust hood in this utility model allows the fan to not only introduce fresh air from the outside into the chamber through the ventilation hood, ensuring sufficient oxygen supply and promoting the fermentation process, but also to expel excess moisture and heat through the exhaust hood when the temperature or humidity exceeds the standard, preventing excessive humidity or temperature inside the chamber from affecting the fermentation effect; the filter, installed on the ventilation hood and exhaust hood, can effectively filter the incoming and outgoing air, preventing dust, impurities, etc. from entering the chamber and maintaining the cleanliness of the air inside the chamber.

[0013] 3. The design of the sewage tank and piston in this utility model allows sewage to flow from the tank body into the sewage tank through the groove and rectangular hole, keeping the inside of the tank clean, and the piston facilitates the discharge of sewage from the sewage tank.
