DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The specific embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the drawings and examples, but the following examples are only used to illustrate the present application in detail, and do not limit the scope of the present application in any way.

[0031] Example 1: A food proofing and baking device, see Figure 1 andFigure 2 , including feeding mechanism 1, first transfer mechanism 2, fermentation mechanism 3, second transfer mechanism 4, steaming mechanism 5, third transfer mechanism 6, cooling mechanism 7. Among them, the fermentation mechanism 3, the steaming mechanism 5 and the cooling mechanism 7 are arranged in layers, the cooling mechanism 7 is located at the bottom layer, the fermentation mechanism 3 is located at the middle layer, and the steaming mechanism 5 is located at the uppermost layer. In some other embodiments, the upper and lower positions of the fermentation mechanism 3, the steaming mechanism 5 and the cooling mechanism 7 can also be adjusted according to actual conditions. The feeding mechanism 1, the first transfer mechanism 2 and the third transfer mechanism 6 are arranged on the right side of the device, and the second transfer mechanism 4 is arranged on the left side of the device. The first transfer mechanism 2 and the third transfer mechanism 6 are arranged in front of and behind each other on the transverse production line, so the feeding mechanism 1 needs to turn the food when feeding. The food is placed in the tray 14, and the tray 14 is first transported to the left, and then turned to enter between the first transfer mechanism 2 and the third transfer mechanism 6.

[0032] The structure of the feeding mechanism 1 is described in detail below Figure 3 , which includes a feeding conveyor belt corresponding to the first transfer mechanism 2. The feeding conveyor belt includes a front feeding conveyor belt 11, a rear feeding conveyor belt 13 and a turning feeding conveyor belt 12 between them. The front feeding conveyor belt 11 and the rear feeding conveyor belt 13 are parallel to the food conveying direction, and the turning feeding conveyor belt 12 is perpendicular to the food conveying direction. The rear feeding conveyor belt 13 is correspondingly arranged at the bottom of the first transfer mechanism 12.

[0033] The first transfer mechanism 2, the second transfer mechanism 4 and the third transfer mechanism 6 adopt the same structure and are used for longitudinal transportation of the tray 14. Taking the first transfer mechanism 2 as an example, it is described in detail below Figure 4 and Figure 5 , which includes a first vertical conveying assembly, a first tray support 23 fixed on the first vertical conveying assembly and a first pushing assembly for pushing the food tray. The first vertical conveying assembly includes an upper shaft 21 and a lower shaft 24. The conveying chain 22 is connected between the upper shaft 21 and the lower shaft 24. The conveying chain 22 is installed at both ends of the shaft through the chain wheel. There are two conveying chains 22 on the left and right sides of the first transfer mechanism 2. The shaft is driven by the motor 28 at the top. The left and right upper shafts 21 are respectively a left driving shaft and a right driving shaft. The left and right lower shafts 24 are respectively a left driven shaft and a right driven shaft. The upper shaft 21 is connected to the two intermeshing left gear 26 and right gear 27 at the top through the oblique chain 25. The right gear 27 is driven by the motor 28.

[0034] The connection between the first transfer mechanism 2 and the fermentation mechanism 3 is described in detail below Figure 6The proofing mechanism 3 comprises a proofing chamber, and three layers of proofing conveyors are arranged in the proofing chamber in an up-down distribution. The lower layer proofing conveyor 35 corresponds to the bottom of the first transfer mechanism 2, the middle layer proofing conveyor 36 corresponds to the middle of the first transfer mechanism 2, and the upper layer proofing conveyor 37 corresponds to the top of the first transfer mechanism 2. The first push rod 32 is arranged on the middle of the first transfer mechanism 2 corresponding to the middle layer proofing conveyor 36, and the first push rod 32 is installed on the rear feeding conveyor 13 of the feeding mechanism 1 through the push rod support 31. The second push rod 33 is arranged on the top of the first transfer mechanism 2, and the second push rod 33 is fixed on the left side and retractable on the right side to drive the push plate 34 on the right side to push the tray 14 to the upper layer proofing conveyor 37. The lower layer proofing conveyor 35 can be connected to the rear feeding conveyor 13 by extending into the first transfer mechanism 2, but it is slightly lower than the rear feeding conveyor 13. If the food needs to enter the lower layer proofing conveyor 35, the first tray support 23 at the lower layer of the first transfer mechanism 2 is rotated to below the lower layer proofing conveyor 35, and the rear feeding conveyor 13 directly feeds to the lower layer proofing conveyor 35. If the food needs to enter the upper layer, the first tray support 23 at the lower layer of the first transfer mechanism 2 is rotated to above the lower layer proofing conveyor 35 and flush with the rear feeding conveyor 13, and the rear feeding conveyor 13 feeds the tray to the first tray support 23 and then feeds upward. In some other embodiments, the corresponding position of the lower layer proofing conveyor 35 can also use a structure similar to the first push rod 32 to push the tray to the lower layer proofing conveyor 35, and at this time, the lower layer proofing conveyor 35 is flush with the rear feeding conveyor 13.

[0035] The steaming mechanism 5 on the top layer of the device comprises a steaming chamber, and the steaming chamber is provided with a steaming conveyor. The cooling mechanism 7 on the bottom layer of the device comprises a cooling chamber and a cooling conveyor arranged in the cooling chamber, and the cooling chamber is provided with a fan 71. The proofing conveyors are provided with guide rails 38 on both sides, and the proofing conveyors support the tray 14 to move on the guide rails 28. The proofing mechanism 3 and the steaming mechanism 5 are respectively connected with a steam distribution pipeline 8, the steam distribution pipeline 8 is connected to a steam main pipeline, and the temperature and humidity of proofing and steaming are adjusted by using steam. The proofing mechanism, the steaming mechanism and the cooling mechanism can be multiple proofing units, steaming units and cooling units which are connected in front and back, and the length of the device can be easily changed through modular design.

[0036] The working process of the present application is as follows: the pastry food is placed in the tray 14, transported by the right front feeding conveyor belt 11 through the turning feeding conveyor belt 12, the rear feeding conveyor belt 13 into the first transfer mechanism 2, the first transfer mechanism 2 drives the tray 14 to move upward to correspond to the layer of the leavening mechanism, the tray 14 is pushed into the leavening mechanism by the first push rod 32, different foods are distributed to different layers of the leavening conveyor belt, which can simultaneously satisfy the leavening time of different foods, and the leavening time is the time for the leavening conveyor belt to pass through the leavening chamber. Then, the leavening mechanism 3 delivers the food to the second transfer mechanism 4 on the left side, the second transfer mechanism 4 is provided with the second push rod 33 only on the top layer, the food after leavening in each layer is first delivered to the top layer, and then pushed into the steaming mechanism 5, the steamed food is sent into the third transfer mechanism 6 on the right side, the third transfer mechanism 6 transports the tray downward to the lower layer, and the push rod is used to deliver the food into the cooling mechanism. Finally, the finished food is output by the left discharging conveyor belt 9.

[0037] In example 2, the leavening mechanism 3 and the steaming mechanism 5 form an integral leavening-steaming-baking mechanism 10, which has four layers of leavening-steaming-baking conveyor channels, each of which can realize the control of leavening, steaming or baking, or multiple layers can be matched to realize leavening, steaming and baking. The leavening and steaming rely on the steam pipeline to pass in steam with different temperatures and humidities, the baking can be realized by adding a heating pipe in the conveying channel, and the baking can also be realized by high-temperature superheated steam.

[0038] In terms of layout, the leavening-steaming-baking mechanism 10 is located on the upper layer, and the cooling mechanism 7 is located on the lower layer. The specific working process is described in detail in the following Figure 7 , the pastry food is placed in the tray 14, transported by the right front feeding mechanism 1 into the third transfer mechanism 6, the third transfer mechanism 6 drives the tray 14 to be delivered to the topmost layer, then butts against the first transfer mechanism 2, distributes the tray and the food to different layers of the leavening-steaming-baking mechanism 10, and realizes the circulation of the food between different layers through the second transfer mechanism 4, completes the leavening, steaming or baking in different conveying channels in the leavening-steaming-baking mechanism 10, and finally delivers the finished food into the cooling mechanism 7 by the first transfer mechanism 2 to the left and outputs by the left discharging conveyor belt 9.

[0039] In example 3, the difference from example 2 is that the multiple leavening-steaming-baking conveyor channels and the cooling mechanism adopt parallel ring distribution, and correspondingly, the transfer mechanism is changed from up-down transfer to front-back transfer, and the layering mechanism of the device is changed to a plane structure.

[0040] The application has been described in detail above in connection with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but those skilled in the art can understand that various specific parameters in the above embodiments can be changed to form multiple specific embodiments without departing from the purpose of the application, and all are within the common variation range of the application, which will not be described in detail here.
