Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bread technology, specifically to a storage device for yeast used in bread dough fermentation. Background Technology
[0002] Bread is a food made by grinding grains (usually wheat) into flour and heating it. It is a baked food made primarily from wheat flour, with yeast, eggs, oil, sugar, salt, etc. as auxiliary ingredients. Water is added to form dough, which is then processed through steps such as dividing, shaping, proofing, baking, and cooling.
[0003] In bread making, yeast is a crucial leavening agent, and its activity directly affects the fermentation effect and final quality of the bread. However, yeast activity is greatly affected by environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and light. Existing yeast storage methods are usually quite simple, such as storing yeast in ordinary containers, making it difficult to precisely control the storage environment. This can easily lead to a decrease in yeast activity, which in turn affects the fermentation effect of the bread dough, resulting in inconsistent taste and quality of the bread.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to modify it by sealing the yeast with a closed device to reduce the phenomenon of yeast clumping due to moisture, controlling the temperature of the storage environment to maintain the activity of the yeast, and making it convenient for users to store and retrieve the yeast. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a yeast storage device for bread dough fermentation. This device has the advantages of sealing the yeast in a closed container to reduce the phenomenon of yeast clumping due to moisture, controlling the temperature of the storage environment to maintain yeast activity, and facilitating the storage and retrieval of yeast by users. It solves the problem that existing yeast storage methods are usually too simple, such as storing yeast in ordinary containers, which makes it difficult to accurately control the storage environment and easily leads to a decrease in yeast activity.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a bread dough fermentation yeast storage device, comprising a box body, a support plate fixedly connected to the lower part of the box body, a placement cylinder connected to the bottom of the support plate, a closed cover located directly above the placement cylinder at the upper part of the box body, side plates fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the closed cover, the outer sides of the side plates slidably connected to the inner wall of the box body, a cable fixedly connected to the top of the closed cover by a hanging ring, a box door hinged to the left side of the front of the box body, a circular groove opened at the top of the box body, the top end of the cable passing through the circular groove and fixedly connected to the top of the box door, a wire positioning mechanism provided at the top of the box body, a heater provided at the lower left side of the inner wall of the box body, a square groove opened at the lower right side of the box body, and a semiconductor cooling block fixedly connected inside the square groove, the cooling end of the semiconductor cooling block located inside the box body, the hot end of the semiconductor cooling block located outside the box body, a temperature sensor provided on the front of the placement cylinder, and the temperature sensor electrically connected to the heater and the semiconductor cooling block respectively.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the cable positioning mechanism includes vertical plates fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the top of the box, and rollers are rotatably connected to the upper and lower sides of the inner sides of the two vertical plates, and the surface of the cable is in contact with the inner sides of the two rollers.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a guide post is fixedly connected to the top of the side panel, the top end of the guide post extends through to the top of the box and is fixedly connected to a crossbar, the surface of the guide post is slidably connected to the inner wall of the box, and an L-shaped rod is fixedly connected to the top of the box door.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the top of the support plate is provided with a first sealing groove located outside the placement cylinder, and the bottom of the sealing cover is fixedly connected with a sealing ring that cooperates with the first sealing groove.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a T-shaped block is fixedly connected to the outer side of the side plate, and T-shaped grooves that cooperate with the T-shaped block are provided on both the left and right sides of the inner wall of the box. The surface of the T-shaped block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the T-shaped groove.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, magnetic sealing strips are fixedly connected to all four sides of the inner side of the box door, and a second sealing groove is opened on all four sides of the front side of the box body. A metal strip that works in conjunction with the magnetic sealing strip is fixedly connected inside the second sealing groove.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1. This utility model features a placement cylinder inside the box. Yeast to be stored is placed inside the placement cylinder. When storing, the box door is closed, which moves the top of the cable backward. The sealing cover moves downward under the influence of gravity. When the box door is fully closed, the bottom of the sealing cover fits tightly against the top of the support plate, sealing the placement cylinder. Simultaneously, a temperature sensor monitors the internal temperature in real time and transmits the data to the control system. The control system automatically controls the operation of the heater or semiconductor cooling block according to the preset temperature range, ensuring that the internal temperature is maintained within the suitable storage temperature range for yeast (e.g., 0-30℃) to maintain yeast activity. Conversely, when yeast needs to be retrieved, the box door is opened, which moves the top of the cable forward, raising the sealing cover and opening the placement cylinder for easy retrieval of yeast. This achieves the effects of sealing yeast through a closed device, reducing yeast moisture and clumping, controlling the storage environment temperature, maintaining yeast activity, and facilitating yeast storage and retrieval for users.
[0014] 2. This utility model uses a combination of vertical plate and rollers. When the cable moves as the door opens and closes, it comes into contact with the surface of the roller. The roller rotates to reduce friction and limits and fixes the top of the cable without affecting its use. This reduces the friction when the cable moves, making the up-and-down movement of the enclosure smoother and improving stability. Attached Figure Description

[0020] 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.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a bread dough fermentation yeast storage device, including a box body 1. A support plate 2 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the box body 1. The bottom of the support plate 2 is connected to a placement cylinder 3. A closed cover 4 is provided at the upper part of the box body 1, directly above the placement cylinder 3. Side plates 5 are fixedly connected to both sides of the closed cover 4. The outer side of the side plates 5 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the box body 1. A cable 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the closed cover 4 by a hanging ring. A box door 7 is hinged to the left side of the front of the box body 1. A circular groove is opened on the top of the box body 1 for the cable. The top of 6 passes through the circular groove and is fixedly connected to the top of the box door 7. A wire group positioning mechanism 8 is provided on the top of the box body 1. A heater 9 is provided on the lower left side of the inner wall of the box body 1. A square groove is opened on the lower right side of the box body 1, and a semiconductor cooling block 10 is fixedly connected inside the square groove. The cooling end of the semiconductor cooling block 10 is located inside the box body 1, and the hot end of the semiconductor cooling block 10 is located outside the box body 1. A temperature sensor 11 is provided on the front of the placement cylinder 3. The temperature sensor 11 is electrically connected to the heater 9 and the semiconductor cooling block 10 respectively.
[0022] refer to Figure 2 The cable positioning mechanism 8 includes vertical plates 12 fixedly connected to the top left and right sides of the box 1, and rollers 13 are rotatably connected to the upper and lower sides of the inner side of the two vertical plates 12, and the surface of the cable 6 is in contact with the inner side of the two rollers 13.
[0023] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting up the vertical plate 12 and the roller 13 for coordinated use, when the cable 6 moves with the opening and closing of the box door 7, it contacts the surface of the roller 13. The roller 13 rotates to reduce friction and limits and fixes the top of the cable 6 without affecting its use, thereby reducing the friction when the cable 6 moves, making the up and down movement of the enclosure 4 smoother and improving stability.
[0024] refer to Figure 2 A guide post 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the side panel 5. The top of the guide post 14 extends through to the top of the box 1 and is fixedly connected to a crossbar 15. The surface of the guide post 14 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the box 1. An L-shaped rod 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the box door 7.
[0025] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the guide post 14, the crossbar 15 and the L-shaped rod 16 in cooperation, the distance from the bottom of the crossbar 15 to the top of the box 1 is slightly greater than the distance from the bottom of the sealing cover 4 to the top of the support plate 2. When the box door 7 is closed, the crossbar 15 and the guide post 14 move downward with the sealing cover 4 and the side plate 5. The bottom of the rear end of the L-shaped rod 16 contacts the top of the crossbar 15 to position the crossbar 15 and the guide post 14, so that the sealing cover 4 is fixed when the box door 7 is closed, and the sealing cover 4 is prevented from shifting, which would affect the yeast storage effect.
[0026] refer to Figure 1 The top of the support plate 2 is provided with a first sealing groove 17 located outside the placement cylinder 3, and the bottom of the sealing cover 4 is fixedly connected with a sealing ring 18 that works in conjunction with the first sealing groove 17.
[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the first sealing groove 17 and the sealing ring 18 in cooperation, when the sealing cover 4 moves downward to seal the placement cylinder 3, the sealing ring 18 enters the interior of the first sealing groove 17 to seal the contact surface between the sealing cover 4 and the bearing plate 2, thereby improving the sealing effect on the placement cylinder 3.
[0028] refer to Figure 3 A T-shaped block 19 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the side plate 5. T-shaped grooves 20 that cooperate with the T-shaped block 19 are provided on both the left and right sides of the inner wall of the box 1. The surface of the T-shaped block 19 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the T-shaped groove 20.
[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the T-shaped block 19 and the T-shaped groove 20 in cooperation, when the enclosure 4 and the side plate 5 move up and down, the T-shaped block 19 slides inside the T-shaped groove 20, which has a limiting effect on the side plate 5 and the enclosure 4, so that they can only move vertically up and down inside the box 1, thus avoiding the enclosure 4 from tilting and shaking when moving, which would affect its use.
[0030] refer to Figure 1 Magnetic sealing strips 21 are fixedly connected to the four sides of the inner side of the door 7. Second sealing grooves 22 are opened on the four sides of the front of the box body 1. Metal strips that cooperate with magnetic sealing strips 21 are fixedly connected inside the second sealing grooves 22.
[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting up the magnetic sealing strip 21 and the second sealing groove 22 for use together, when the box door 7 is closed, the magnetic sealing strip 21 enters the interior of the second sealing groove 22 and magnetically connects with the metal strip inside it, which improves the sealing performance of the box body 1 and prevents the box door 7 from opening automatically and affecting its use.
[0032] The working principle and usage of this utility model are as follows: A placement cylinder 3 is installed inside the box 1. Yeast that needs to be stored is placed inside the placement cylinder 3. When storing, the box door 7 is closed. When the box door 7 is closed, the top of the cable 6 moves backward, and the sealing cover 4 moves downward under the influence of gravity. When the box door 7 is completely closed, the bottom of the sealing cover 4 is tightly attached to the top of the support plate 2, sealing the placement cylinder 3. At the same time, the temperature sensor 11 monitors the temperature inside the box in real time and transmits the data to the control system. The control system automatically controls the operation of the heater 9 or the semiconductor cooling block 10 according to the preset temperature range to ensure that the temperature inside the box is maintained in the appropriate storage temperature range for yeast, such as 0-30℃, so as to maintain the activity of yeast. Conversely, when it is necessary to take out the yeast, the box door 7 is opened, and the top of the cable 6 moves forward, raising the sealing cover 4 and opening the placement cylinder 3, so that the yeast can be taken out. In this way, the yeast is sealed and placed through the sealing device, reducing the phenomenon of yeast moisture and clumping, controlling the temperature of the storage environment, maintaining the activity of yeast, and making it convenient for users to store and take out yeast.
