Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pastry production technology, specifically to a proofing device for pastry production and processing. Background Technology

[0002] Pastries are foods made primarily from flour, sugar, and oil, supplemented with egg products, dairy products, nuts, and other ingredients, and processed through preparation and cooking. They possess a certain color, aroma, taste, and shape. The term "pastry" typically refers to the period between the completion of dough mixing and the final proofing after shaping. After mixing, the dough needs to be rounded until smooth, and then the first proofing begins. This allows the yeast in the dough to multiply and produce gas, causing the dough to ferment and expand. This process involves degassing, dividing, rounding, resting, and finally shaping. The purpose of the first proofing is to allow the dough to produce gas, expand, and then release the gas.

[0003] Utility model patent CN218959937U discloses a proofing device for pastry production, including a proofing box, a sealed door, a mounting plate, a support frame, a water storage box, a heating chamber, and an exhaust fan. The support frame and the mounting plate are slidably connected to each other. Because the support frame and the mounting plate are slidably connected, this proofing device facilitates the movement of the support frame from the inside of the proofing box, making it easier for workers to place the pastry dough to be fermented onto the placement plate of the support frame, thus facilitating the loading and unloading of the pastry dough.

[0004] However, the device can only drive all the placement plates at the same time, so it can only proof one type of pastry. It also requires simultaneous feeding and unloading, and cannot proof dough for different times at the same time, making it not very practical. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the technical problems in the prior art, the present invention provides a proofing device for pastry production and processing, the purpose of which is to solve the above problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A proofing device for pastry production and processing includes a proofing box with a front opening. The bottom of the proofing box is provided with a water storage box and a heating chamber. Multiple placement plates are arranged horizontally in the inner cavity of the proofing box. The multiple placement plates are arranged longitudinally and can slide horizontally back and forth in the proofing box. A cover plate is provided at the front opening of the proofing box corresponding to each placement plate. The top plates of the multiple cover plates are rotatably connected to the left and right side walls of the proofing box.

[0008] Preferably, a connecting rod is inclined between the upper side of the placement plate and the rear side of the corresponding cover plate. The two ends of the connecting rod are respectively hinged to the corresponding placement plate and the cover plate. When the placement plate is pulled out, the cover plate is simultaneously lifted by the connecting rod. When the placement plate is pushed into the proofing box, the cover plate just covers the opening of the proofing box.

[0009] Preferably, each of the multiple placement plates is provided with an electric push rod perpendicular to the rear side wall of the proofing box. The rear end of the electric push rod is fixed to the rear side wall of the proofing box, and a connecting block is provided at the middle of the lower side of the placement plate corresponding to the front end of the electric push rod and fixedly connected to it.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] This utility model provides a proofing device for pastry production and processing. By setting a connecting rod between the placement plate and the corresponding cover plate, one placement plate can be opened independently when placing dough, without affecting the dough on other placement plates. This allows for proofing of dough for different durations, greatly improving practicality. It is also equipped with a PLC controller and an electric push rod. The PLC controller can monitor the proofing time of the dough on each layer of placement plates in real time, improving the proofing effect. The automated pushing and pulling of the placement plates makes operation more convenient and faster. Attached Figure Description
