[0022] 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.

[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides an automatic bread fermentation degree detection device, including a first housing 1 and a second housing 2. The second housing 2 is detachably installed on the top of the first housing 1. The first housing 1 is provided with an inner liner 102 for placing bread. The inner liner 102 is provided with a heat preservation structure 103 and a sealing structure 104. The connection between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 is provided with a plug-in structure 201. The second housing 2 is provided with a fermentation degree detection module, a temperature and humidity adjustment module 202 and an automatic control system 3. The automatic control system 3 is electrically connected to the fermentation degree detection module and the temperature and humidity adjustment module 202 respectively.

[0024] This embodiment has the functions of bread fermentation and fermentation degree detection. The first casing 1 and the second casing 2 are made of aluminum alloy, and the overall structure is lightweight. By placing the bread in the inner liner 102, it is controlled by the automatic control system 3. The gas detection module 308 detects the gas generated by bread fermentation to determine the degree of bread fermentation. Furthermore, the temperature and humidity adjustment module 202 can assist the bread fermentation, improve the bread fermentation efficiency, and make the function more powerful.

[0025] The fermentation degree detection module includes a gas detection module 308 and a collector 205. The collector 205 is located above the inner liner 102. The temperature and humidity control module 202 includes a heating module 204 and a humidifier 206. The automatic control system 3 includes a host 311, a temperature adjustment button 301, a humidity adjustment button 302, an air sampling button 303, and an automatic fermentation button 304. The host 311 includes an intelligent control module 309, a timer module, and a power module 310. The temperature adjustment button 301 is connected to the heating module 204. The humidity adjustment module is connected to the humidifier 206. The control and acquisition button is connected to the collector 205.

[0026] In this embodiment, the bread is placed in the inner liner 102 of the first housing 1, and then controlled by the temperature adjustment button 301, humidity adjustment button 302, air sampling button 303, and automatic fermentation button 304 on the second housing 2. The automatic fermentation button 304 is an automatic adjustment function that can automatically adjust according to the temperature detection module 306 and humidity detection module 307. When the air sampling is activated by the button, the collector 205 collects the gas in the inner liner 102 and detects it by the gas detection module 308.

[0027] Based on bread fermentation conditions, the temperature method involves checking the temperature of the bread during fermentation. After fermentation, the temperature typically rises by 4-6°C, which can be detected using the 306 temperature detection module. The pH method involves checking the pH of the bread before fermentation. Before fermentation, the pH is around 6.0, and after fermentation, it drops to 5.0. If the pH is below 5.0, it indicates over-fermentation.

[0028] This embodiment automatically and continuously measures and records the changes in the total amount of gas produced and the gas production rate during bread fermentation to effectively assess the degree of bread fermentation. Long-term detection: time intervals can be set from 5 to 120 seconds (in 5-second units) or from 5 to 120 minutes (in 5-minute units). Second intervals: maximum 23 hours and 59 minutes; minute intervals: maximum up to 90 days.

[0029] Temperature and humidity are key factors affecting bread fermentation. Appropriate temperature encourages yeast activity and produces sufficient carbon dioxide, while proper humidity keeps the bread moist, preventing the surface from drying out or the interior from becoming too soggy. The basic conditions for bread fermentation include temperature, humidity, and time.

[0030] Temperature has a significant impact on fermentation. Temperatures that are too high or too low will result in poor fermentation. Excessively high temperatures will cause a large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the bread, affecting the uniformity of fermentation, while excessively low temperatures will prolong fermentation time and reduce yeast activity. Therefore, controlling the fermentation temperature within a suitable range is crucial for ensuring bread quality. The optimal fermentation temperature range is 25-28℃. Humidity is equally important for bread fermentation. Appropriate humidity keeps the bread moist, preventing the surface from becoming too dry or the inside too wet. Insufficient humidity will cause the surface moisture to evaporate too quickly, affecting the expansion and appearance, while excessive humidity will lead to excessive gas production on the surface, resulting in bubbles and other problems. The optimal humidity for fermentation is 70-75%, and the fermentation time is 40-50 minutes.

[0031] This embodiment can adjust the internal temperature and humidity of the inner liner 102 through the temperature and humidity adjustment module 202, so that the bread ferments under suitable temperature and humidity, which greatly improves the bread fermentation efficiency, has a high degree of automation, and is highly reliable.

[0032] Furthermore, the inner liner 102 is provided with an air duct 105 at the top, which passes through the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 in sequence. The second housing 2 is provided with a display screen 305 on one side, and a water tank 203 is also provided inside the second housing 2. The air duct 105 is provided with a fan 207, and a nozzle is provided on one side of the air duct 105. The nozzle is connected to the water tank 203 through a conduit. The heating module 204 is located above the fan 207 and includes several heating elements.

[0033] Furthermore, the insulation structure 103 includes a ceramic plate layer, and an insulation material layer is provided on the surface of the ceramic plate layer. The thickness of the insulation material layer is one-third of the thickness of the ceramic plate layer. The insulation material layer and the ceramic plate layer are bonded together with adhesive. An alkali-resistant material plate is also provided on the surface of the insulation material layer, and the alkali-resistant material plate is bonded to the insulation material layer.

[0034] Furthermore, the first chassis 1 is composed of several aluminum alloy plates spliced ​​together. The first chassis 1 is also provided with a sealing door 101, wherein the sealing structure 104 is located at the splicing point of the aluminum alloy plates, and the sealing structure 104 is composed of several elastic rubber strips.

[0035] Furthermore, the top of the first chassis 1 is provided with several slots, and the plug-in structure 201 is provided at the bottom of the second chassis 2. The plug-in structure 201 includes several buckles, and the buckles are connected to the slots.

[0036] Furthermore, the temperature and humidity control module 202 also includes a temperature detection module 306 and a humidity detection module 307, which are respectively connected to the intelligent control module 309.
