Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of food processing equipment, and particularly relates to a fermentation box for food baking. Background Art
[0002] The fermentation box for food baking is a device specially designed for dough fermentation. By controlling conditions such as temperature and humidity, it simulates an ideal fermentation environment, accelerates the dough fermentation process, and ensures that the baked finished product has a soft taste and uniform texture. It is an important device for improving baking efficiency and quality.
[0003] In the existing large double-door fermentation box for food baking, its interior is generally divided into two vertical compartments by partitions, and multiple layer racks for placing trays are longitudinally arranged at equal intervals in each compartment; before fermentation, the operator needs to take out the trays one by one, place the dough to be fermented, and then put the trays filled with dough onto the layer racks in the fermentation box body one by one for closed-door fermentation; after fermentation, the operator takes out the trays filled with fermented dough one by one and then repeats putting in the trays filled with dough to be fermented one by one; this operation method not only fails to fully utilize the continuous working efficiency of the fermentation box, but also wastes the residual heat of the fermentation box due to the long time-consuming in the process of taking and placing the trays, resulting in energy waste; therefore, there is an urgent need for a large double-door fermentation box for food baking that can take and place multiple trays as a whole. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Aiming at the deficiencies existing in the prior art, the utility model provides a fermentation box for food baking, and the specific technical solutions are as follows:
[0005] The utility model provides a fermentation box for food baking, including a box body with double doors. The middle part of the box body is equally divided into two compartments by a partition adapted to it. Two groups of clamping strip plates are symmetrically arranged horizontally up and down in each compartment, and tray racks are clamped along the clamping strip plates in the two compartments; the tray rack is composed of two single racks对接间隔对接组成; the single rack includes a main frame in a rectangular three-dimensional structure, and a plurality of "eye" - shaped layer racks are horizontally and fixedly connected at equal intervals along the long side direction in the main frame; the main frames of the two single racks are fixedly connected by two upper and lower fixing plates on the same side, and an empty slot that can be clamped and matched with the partition is formed between the two main frames.
[0006] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the middle parts of the two main frames are fixedly connected by a reinforcing block adapted to them. An insertion block is arranged on the top surface of the reinforcing block, and the insertion block is vertically fixedly connected to the outer side surface of the partition; an insertion pin 1 is longitudinally arranged in the gap between the insertion block and the reinforcing block.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, flat plates are integrally and symmetrically installed on the top surface and the bottom surface of the main frame respectively, and a plurality of long strip holes are equidistantly arranged on the flat plates.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the tray rack is transported by a transfer trolley adapted thereto;
[0009] The transfer trolley includes a tray plate adapted to the size of the tray rack, the top surface of the tray plate is flush with the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the box body, and universal wheels are equidistantly and symmetrically installed at the four corners of its bottom surface; horizontal and symmetric support rods are fixedly connected to both ends of the top surface of the tray plate, and the top surface of the support rod is flush with the top surface of the lower clamping strip plate; a stop block is vertically installed on one end surface of the support rod; clamping rails are horizontally and symmetrically fixedly connected to the tray plate along its middle line, and the clamping rails are in transverse sliding clamping fit with the sliding grooves fixedly arranged in the middle of the bottom surface of the corresponding main frame.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, a guide rail axially opposite to the corresponding clamping rail is fixedly arranged in the middle of the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the box body, and the guide rail has the same size as the clamping rail.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, a positioning rod is vertically fixedly connected to the end surface of the clamping rail背离挡块的端面轴向垂直固接有定位杆, and the positioning rod can be axially inserted into the positioning hole opened on the outer end surface of the corresponding guide rail with an axial gap.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, a U-shaped frame is vertically fixedly connected to the middle of the side surface of the tray plate facing the stop block; after the tray rack abuts against the stop block along the clamping rail, the bottom of the fixed plate below it is clamped into the U-shaped frame; a second pin is horizontally and gap-passed through between the U-shaped frame and the corresponding fixed plate.
[0013] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0014] In the fermentation box of the utility model, the tray rack is composed of two single racks butt-jointed at intervals through a fixed plate, forming an integral structure; this design allows the operator to take out or put in the entire tray rack from the box body at one time, greatly simplifying the operation process and improving work efficiency;
[0015] A plurality of "eye" - shaped layered racks are horizontally and fixedly connected at equal intervals along the long side direction inside the main frame. This design not only provides sufficient placement space, enabling multiple trays to ferment simultaneously, but also the "eye" - shaped structure is conducive to air circulation, helping to maintain the uniformity of temperature and humidity inside the box body, thereby ensuring the quality of dough fermentation;
[0016] The tray rack is clamped in the two inner cavities along the clamping strip plate; this clamping method enables the tray rack to be firmly fixed in the box body, while facilitating quick installation and disassembly; the entire tray rack can be easily taken out, saving time; It should be noted that there seems to be an error in the description of "the end surface of the clamping rail背离挡块的端面轴向垂直固接有定位杆" in the original text. I translated it as accurately as possible based on the context, but it might need to be further clarified in the original Chinese text for a more precise translation.
[0017] A slot is formed between the two main frames to engage with the partition; this design allows the pallet rack to fit snugly against the partition, and the engagement of the slot with the partition also enhances the stability of the pallet rack.
[0018] Because the tray racks can be removed and placed as a whole, operators can complete the placement and removal of multiple trays at once without having to operate them one by one. While the dough on one tray rack is fermenting in box 1, the next tray rack filled with dough to be fermented can be prepared in advance. This not only significantly improves work efficiency but also reduces the time wasted by removing and placing trays one by one, thereby reducing the waste of residual heat in the fermentation box and improving energy utilization.

[0028] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present utility model clearer and more understandable, the following further details the present utility model in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model. Embodiment 1
[0029] To solve the technical problems in the background art, the following fermentation box for food baking is provided:
[0030] Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the fermentation box for food baking includes a double-door box body 1. The middle part of the box body 1 is equally divided into two compartments by a partition 11 adapted thereto. Two groups of strip plates 12 are symmetrically arranged horizontally up and down in each compartment, and a tray rack 2 is clamped along the strip plates 12 in the two compartments; the tray rack 2 is composed of two single racks 21 butt-jointed at intervals; the single rack 21 includes a main frame 211 in a rectangular three-dimensional structure, and a plurality of "eye" - shaped layered racks 212 are horizontally and fixedly connected at equal intervals along the long side direction in the main frame 211; the main frames 211 of the two single racks 21 are fixedly connected by two upper and lower fixing plates 22 on the same side, and an empty slot 23 that can be clamped and matched with the partition 11 is formed between the two main frames 211.
[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, the tray rack 2 in this fermentation box is composed of two single racks 21 butt-jointed at intervals by fixing plates 22, forming an integrated structure; this design allows the operator to take out or put in the entire tray rack 2 from the box body 1 at one time, greatly simplifying the operation process and improving work efficiency;
[0032] A plurality of "eye" - shaped layered racks 212 are horizontally and fixedly connected at equal intervals along the long side direction in the main frame 211. This design not only provides sufficient placement space, enabling multiple trays to ferment simultaneously, but also the "eye" - shaped structure is conducive to air circulation, helping to maintain the temperature and humidity uniformity in the box body 1, thereby ensuring the quality of dough fermentation;
[0033] The tray rack 2 is clamped along the strip plates 12 in the two compartments; this clamping method enables the tray rack 2 to be firmly fixed in the fermentation box, and at the same time is convenient for quick installation and disassembly; the tray rack 2 can be easily taken out as a whole, saving time;
[0034] An empty slot 23 that can be clamped and matched with the partition 11 is formed between the two main frames 211; this design enables the tray rack 2 to closely fit on the partition 11. At the same time, the clamping and matching of the empty slot 23 with the partition 11 also enhances the stability of the tray rack 2;
[0035] Since the tray rack 2 can be removed and placed as a whole, the operator can complete the placement and removal of multiple trays at once without having to operate them one by one. While the dough on one tray rack 2 is fermenting in the box 1, the next tray rack 2 filled with dough to be fermented can be prepared in advance. This not only significantly improves work efficiency, but also reduces the time wasted by removing and placing trays one by one, thereby reducing the waste of residual heat in the fermentation box and improving energy utilization.
[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the two main frames 211 are fixedly connected in the middle by a matching reinforcing block 25. The top surface of the reinforcing block 25 is attached with an insert 111, and the insert 111 is perpendicularly fixed to the outer side of the partition 11. A pin 112 passes through the longitudinal gap between the insert 111 and the reinforcing block 25.
[0037] By adopting the above technical solution, since the tray rack 2 needs to bear the weight of multiple trays and dough, especially during the process of placing and retrieving the dough, it will be subjected to a large force. The reinforcing block 25 effectively disperses these forces by adding additional connection points, thereby significantly enhancing the overall structural stability of the tray rack 2 and preventing it from deforming or being damaged when bearing heavy objects or subjected to external forces;
[0038] The vertical connection between the insert block 111 and the outer side of the partition 11, and the pin 112 passing through the longitudinal gap between the insert block 111 and the reinforcing block 25, together form a stable snap-fit structure; the locking effect of the pin 112 further enhances the connection stability between the tray frame 2 and the partition 11.
[0039] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the top and bottom surfaces of the main frame 211 are symmetrically and integrally mounted with flat plates 213, and the flat plates 213 are provided with multiple elongated holes 2131 at equal intervals.
[0040] By adopting the above technical solution, the flat plate 213 is symmetrically installed on the top and bottom surfaces of the main frame 211. This design not only increases the overall structural strength of the tray frame 2, but also makes the tray frame 2 more stable when carrying multiple trays and dough.
[0041] The "mesh" - shaped hierarchical rack 212 is combined with the long - strip holes 2131 on the flat plate 213 to form an optimized air - flow channel. During the fermentation process, air can flow freely between the trays through the long - strip holes 2131, which helps to maintain the temperature and humidity uniformity inside the fermentation box. At the same time, this design also promotes the uniform distribution of heat inside the tray rack 2, avoiding local overheating or over - cooling, thus ensuring the consistency and quality of dough fermentation. Embodiment Two
[0042] Combine Figure 1 And Figures 3-7 As shown, on the basis of the above - mentioned embodiment, this embodiment further gives the following content:
[0043] In this embodiment, as Figures 3-7 shown, the tray rack 2 is transported by a transfer trolley 3 adapted to it;
[0044] The transfer trolley 3 includes a tray 31 adapted to the size of the tray rack 2. The top surface of the tray 31 is flush with the bottom surface of the inner compartment of the box body 1, and four corner positions of its bottom surface are symmetrically and equidistantly installed with universal wheels 311. At both ends of the top surface of the tray 31, horizontal and symmetric support rods 32 are fixedly connected, and the top surface of the support rod 32 is flush with the top surface of the lower clamping strip board 12. A stop block 321 is vertically installed on one end surface of the support rod 32. On the top surface of the tray 31, card rails 35 are horizontally and symmetrically fixedly connected along its center line, and the card rails 35 are transversely slidably clamped and matched with the sliding grooves 24 fixedly arranged in the middle of the bottom surface of the corresponding main frame 211.
[0045] By adopting the above - mentioned technical solution, the design of the transfer trolley 3 enables the tray rack 2 to be easily taken and placed for transportation, reducing the labor intensity of manually taking and placing the tray rack 2;
[0046] Among them, the size of the tray 31 is adapted to the tray rack 2, ensuring that the tray rack 2 can be stably placed on the tray 31. The universal wheels 311 symmetrically installed at four corner positions of the bottom surface of the tray 31 at equal intervals enable the transfer trolley 3 to move flexibly in all directions, improving the transportation efficiency;
[0047] The cooperation between the tray 31 and the support rod 32 enables the tray rack 2 to smoothly enter the clamping strip board 12 inside the box body 1. The top surface of the support rod 32 is flush with the top surface of the lower clamping strip board 12, ensuring that the tray rack 2 can accurately align with the clamping strip board 12 when placed back into the box body 1, achieving fast and stable clamping. In addition, the setting of the stop block 321 enables the tray rack 2 taken out of the box body 1 to be quickly in place;
[0048] The transverse sliding engagement of the rail 35 and the slide 24 ensures that the pallet rack 2 is placed securely on the transfer trolley 3 and is easy to move. When the pallet rack 2 needs to be placed into the box 1, it can easily slide into the box 1 along the rail 35 and engage with the locking strip 12. Similarly, when the pallet rack 2 needs to be removed from the box 1, it can be removed by simply reversing the operation. This greatly improves the transfer efficiency.
[0049] like Figures 5-7 As shown, a guide rail 13 is fixedly provided in the middle of the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the box 1, which is axially opposite to the corresponding rail 35, and the guide rail 13 and the rail 35 have the same size.
[0050] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide rail 13 is axially opposite to the clamping rail 35 on the transfer trolley 3 and has the same size. This means that when the pallet frame 2 on the transfer trolley 3 is pushed into or pulled out of the box 1, it can slide smoothly along the clamping rail 35 and the guide rail 13. This design not only enhances the stability of the pallet frame 2 during movement, but also provides good guidance, so that the operator can easily push the pallet frame 2 into or pull out of the box 1, improving the convenience and accuracy of operation.
[0051] The cooperation between guide rail 13 and clamp rail 35 is not only for guiding during the transfer process, but also for positioning and fixing when pallet frame 2 is placed inside box 1.
[0052] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 as well as Figures 5-7 As shown, a positioning rod 351 is axially and vertically fixed to the end face of the guide rail 35 away from the stop block 321. The positioning rod 351 can be axially and intermittently inserted into the positioning hole 131 corresponding to the outer end face of the guide rail 13.
[0053] By adopting the above technical solution, the axial clearance insertion design of the positioning rod 351 and the positioning hole 131 enables the rail 35 on the transfer trolley 3 to quickly and accurately align with the guide rail 13 and achieve fixation through insertion. This design greatly simplifies the positioning steps of the transfer trolley 3 and improves the convenience and efficiency of operation. At the same time, due to the precise cooperation between the positioning rod 351 and the positioning hole 131, the position of the transfer trolley 3 is ensured to be stable, avoiding the pallet frame 2 from not being able to accurately enter the box 1 due to movement.
[0054] like Figures 3-6 As shown, a U-shaped frame 33 is vertically fixed to the middle of the side of the pallet 31 facing the stop block 321; after the pallet frame 2 is close to the stop block 321 along the rail 35, the bottom of the fixing plate 22 below it is inserted into the U-shaped frame 33; a pin 34 is inserted through the transverse gap between the U-shaped frame 33 and the corresponding fixing plate 22.
[0055] By adopting the above technical solution, the introduction of the U-shaped frame 33 and the second pin 34 enables the fixing plate 22 under the pallet frame 2 to be quickly positioned and fixed after being inserted into the U-shaped frame 33, through the transverse gap where the second pin 34 passes through. This design ensures that the pallet frame 2 will not loosen or fall off due to external force during transportation, further enhancing the stability of the pallet frame 2.
[0056] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:
[0057] When using this utility model, firstly, prepare a tray containing the dough to be fermented and place it on the layered rack 212 of the tray rack 2;
[0058] Next, the tray rack 2 loaded with dough is transferred by the transfer trolley 3. During the transfer, the sliding groove 24 on the bottom of the tray rack 2 and the locking rail 35 of the transfer trolley 3 slide and engage laterally, and the pin 2 34 limits the U-shaped frame 33 and the corresponding fixing plate 22, so that the tray rack 2 can be firmly fixed on the transfer trolley 3. When the transfer trolley 3 pushes the tray rack 2 to the designated position of the box 1, the positioning rod 351 will be axially and gapped into the positioning hole 131 on the outer end face of the guide rail 13, so as to achieve precise positioning and fixation of the transfer trolley 3.
[0059] Then, pull out the second pin 34, push the pallet frame 2 along the rail 35 and guide rail 13 into the strip plate 12 inside the box 1, and use the first pin 112 to limit the connection between the insert block 111 and the reinforcing block 25, so that the pallet frame can be placed stably inside the box 1.
[0060] After completing the above steps, close the double doors of the fermentation box and ferment the dough by controlling the temperature and humidity. After fermentation, open the double doors, pull out the latch 112, remove the tray rack 2 from the box 1, and move it to the positioned transfer trolley 3 for subsequent processing.
[0061] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
