Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of proofing chamber technology, and mainly to a steam control device for proofing chamber. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, bread has become a breakfast food for most people. In the bread-making process, there is a necessary proofing step, in which the bread is proofed in a proofing chamber. However, in the existing food proofing chambers, a small amount of water droplets still accumulate in the steam pipes. The food waiting to be proofed below the steam outlet is soaked by water droplets, which affects the actual taste and causes a small number of food products to be substandard.

[0003] When the valve on the steam branch pipe is opened, steam is directly introduced into the proofing chamber from the steam outlet. The steam volume and temperature are higher at the extension direction of the steam outlet, and the steam spreads outward to fill the entire proofing chamber. During the period of continuous steam injection and diffusion, the temperature and humidity in different areas of the proofing chamber are uneven. The food in some areas has higher or lower humidity, and the proofing process is not synchronized, making it difficult to control the proofing process of all food. Utility Model Content

[0024] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to specific illustrations.

[0025] See Figures 1 to 2 The figure shows a steam control device for a proofing chamber, including a control box 10, a steam assembly, a steam main pipe 11, and a steam branch pipe 12. The control box 10 is installed on the side of the proofing chamber and communicates with the inside of the proofing chamber. The steam assembly is used to supply steam to the proofing chamber. The steam main pipe 11 and the steam branch pipe 12 are inserted into the control box 10 and communicate with the proofing chamber. It also includes a condenser assembly and a flow guide assembly. The steam branch pipe 12 is horizontally connected to the bottom end of the steam main pipe 11. The condenser assembly is used to discharge some of the water after the steam is liquefied. The flow guide assembly is used to evenly guide the steam into the proofing chamber. The condenser assembly and the flow guide assembly are respectively located at the left and right ends of the steam branch pipe 12.

[0026] This invention features a condenser and a guide component at both ends of the horizontal steam branch pipe 12. Water droplets, liquefied from some of the steam, flow down the main steam pipe 11 and the steam branch pipe 12 under gravity. Most of the water droplets flow into the lower condenser component and are discharged after the steam input is complete. A small portion flows to the guide component and is discharged along with the steam. This effectively prevents the accumulated water droplets from wetting the food and affecting its taste. The steam flow in the proofing chamber is excellent, ensuring even proofing of the food.

[0027] In this preferred embodiment, a T-connector is provided at one end of the steam branch pipe 12 near the condenser assembly. The T-connector is connected to the steam main pipe 11, the steam branch pipe 12, and the condenser main pipe 21 of the condenser assembly. The steam branch pipe 12 is inclined downward toward the condenser main pipe 21 at an angle of 0-10 degrees.

[0028] Furthermore, the steam branch pipe 12 is inclined downward at an angle of 3 degrees toward the condenser main pipe 21.

[0029] The steam branch pipe 12 is slightly inclined toward the condenser main pipe 21, so that the condensed water droplets can flow toward the condenser main pipe 21 under the action of gravity, and the initial separation effect of steam and water droplets is good.

[0030] In this preferred embodiment, the flow guiding assembly is located at the steam outlet at the other end of the steam branch pipe 12; the flow guiding assembly includes several flow guiding branch pipes 31, a flow guiding frame 32, several air inlets 33, and several air outlets 34. The several flow guiding branch pipes 31 are connected to the steam branch pipe 12 through multi-port connectors. The flow guiding frame 32 is horizontally located directly below the flow guiding branch pipes 31. Several air inlets 33 are evenly spaced through the top of the flow guiding frame 32, and several air outlets 34 are evenly spaced through the bottom of the flow guiding frame 32.

[0031] Furthermore, several air inlets 33 and air outlets 34 are arranged in an alternating vertical arrangement, and the air inlets 33 and air outlets 34 are connected sequentially from left to right, forming a W-shaped distribution.

[0032] The air inlets 33 and outlets 34 of the above-mentioned air guiding components are arranged in an alternating manner, that is, the air inlets 33 and outlets 34 are evenly spaced and alternately arranged. The air inlets 33 and outlets 34 are not on the same vertical line, so the steam will not all flow vertically downward into the proofing chamber. The steam in the air guiding branch pipe 31 enters through several air inlets 33 and flows out through the outlets 34 at an angle to the left or right, so that it can be distributed in multiple directions throughout the proofing chamber.

[0033] In this preferred embodiment, guide plates 35 are respectively inclined inwardly on the inner walls of several air outlets 34 of the flow guide frame 32, and the included angle between the guide plates 35 and the inner wall of the flow guide frame 32 is 0-90 degrees; several water collection troughs 36 are formed between the several guide plates 35 and the inner wall of the flow guide frame 32.

[0034] Furthermore, the angle between the guide plate 35 and the inner wall of the flow guide frame 32 is 45 degrees.

[0035] Several water collection tanks 36 are formed between the guide plate 35 of the above-mentioned flow guiding components and the inner wall of the flow guiding frame 32. The condensate in the flow guiding branch pipe 31 is collected in the water collection tanks 36, and the water droplets are guided in a secondary fine flow.

[0036] In this preferred embodiment, the condensing assembly includes a main condensing pipe 21, two branch condensing pipes 22, a manual condensing valve 23, and a drain valve 24. The two branch condensing pipes 22 are connected to the main condensing pipe 21 via a tee pipe. The manual condensing valve 23 is installed on one of the branch condensing pipes 22, and the drain valve 24 is installed on the other branch condensing pipe 22. After steam is introduced into the proofing chamber, the drain valve 24 or the manual condensing valve 23 can be opened to drain the water.

[0037] In this preferred embodiment, the steam assembly includes a steam generator, a steam control valve, a main steam pipe 11, and a branch steam pipe 12 connected in sequence via steam pipes. The steam control valve is used to open or close the passage of the branch steam pipe 12.

[0038] Specifically, the top of the steam branch pipe 12 is longitudinally connected to two temperature control pipes 41 and two humidity control pipes 44. The two temperature control pipes 41 are respectively equipped with a temperature manual valve 42 and a temperature pneumatic valve 43, and the two humidity control pipes 44 are respectively equipped with a humidity manual valve 45 and a humidity pneumatic valve 46, which can control the steam discharge and thus adjust the temperature or humidity in the proofing chamber.

[0039] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
