Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dough production technology, specifically to a low-temperature proofing chamber for dough. Background Technology
[0002] Proofing, also known as final proofing or final fermentation, refers to the process where dough for leavened products needs to proof for a period of time after the fermentation ingredients are added. When processing the dough, the dough to be fermented needs to be placed on a tray, and then the tray is placed in a dedicated proofing box and operating room for proofing.
[0003] Currently, the placement and removal of dough during fermentation are all done manually, which has significant technical drawbacks. Frequent manual entry into the operating room can lead to bacterial infection and temperature changes, which can affect the fermentation of other doughs and ultimately affect the taste of the dough.
[0004] Based on this, a low-temperature proofing chamber for dough is now provided, which can eliminate the drawbacks of existing devices. Summary of the Invention

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0026] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, a low-temperature proofing chamber for dough includes an operating chamber, wherein a temperature control chamber and a proofing chamber are respectively opened at the upper and lower ends of the operating chamber, and a placement component is provided inside the proofing chamber;
[0027] The placement component includes two conveyor belts, which are respectively located on both sides of the waking chamber. A placement rack is provided between the two conveyor belts. Several placement platforms are arrayed on both sides of the middle of the placement rack. A partition is fixedly connected to both sides of the upper surface of each placement platform. A pushing component is provided on one side of each placement platform.
[0028] In this embodiment, during use, the sealed door is opened, and the container of proofed dough is placed onto the corresponding conveyor belt through the placement port. The conveyor belt starts transporting the container, which is then blocked by the nearest connecting plate. Subsequently, the electric pusher is activated, and the container is sent into the corresponding placement platform through the limiting of the push plate and the push-back plate. At this time, the obstruction of the connecting plate is removed, and the next container will be sent by the conveyor belt to the side of the next push component, and then sent to the corresponding placement platform in the same way to complete the placement. When it is time to remove the container, the electric pusher is activated to retract it, and the push-back plate pushes the container back onto the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt reverses and sends the container to the side of the placement port, where it is then picked up by the staff.
[0029] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the pushing component includes an electric push rod, which is fixedly connected to one side of the lower surface of an adjacent conveyor belt. A push plate is fixedly connected to the other end of the electric push rod, and a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the push plate. The connecting plate is disposed above the upper surface of the conveyor belt and has a push plate fixedly connected to one end. A push-back plate is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting plate. When the electric push rod is activated, the container is sent into the corresponding placement platform by the limiting action of the push plate and the push-back plate. At this time, the obstruction of the connecting plate is removed, and the next container will be sent by the conveyor belt to the next pushing component side, and then sent to the corresponding placement platform in the same way.
[0030] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the push plate and push-back plate are each provided with a through groove at one end adjacent to the connecting plate. The through groove is slidably connected to the adjacent partition, which facilitates the displacement of the push plate and push-back plate and prevents them from being blocked by the partition.
[0031] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, each of the conveyor belts has a corresponding placement port on one side. The placement port is fixedly connected to one side of the operating room. Each placement port has a sealing door hinged to one end. In use, the sealing door is opened, and then the proofed dough container is placed on the corresponding conveyor belt through the placement port. The container is then transported by starting the conveyor belt.
[0032] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the temperature control chamber is equipped with a temperature control component to regulate the temperature inside the waking chamber.
[0033] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the temperature control component includes a temperature regulator, which is fixedly connected inside the temperature control chamber. The output end of the temperature regulator is fixedly connected to several nozzles, all of which are installed through the upper part of the proofing chamber. Ventilation holes are provided on both sides of the temperature control chamber. The temperature inside the proofing chamber is monitored in real time by a temperature sensor. When the temperature changes, the temperature regulator is adjusted in time to adjust the temperature inside the proofing chamber and achieve the best proofing effect.
[0034] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the upper array of the placement rack is equipped with several temperature sensors to facilitate monitoring of the temperature inside the waking chamber.
[0035] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a control panel is located in the middle of one side of the control room. The control panel is electrically connected to the temperature control component, the placement component, and the pushing component, respectively, so that the staff can control them from outside the control room.
[0036] The above embodiment discloses a low-temperature proofing chamber for dough. In use, the sealed door is opened, and the dough container is placed onto the corresponding conveyor belt through the placement opening. The conveyor belt starts transporting the container, which is then blocked by the nearest connecting plate. An electric pusher is then activated, and the container is pushed into the corresponding placement platform by the limiting action of the push plate and push-back plate. At this point, the blocking action of the connecting plate is removed, and the next container is conveyed by the conveyor belt to the next push component, and then to the corresponding placement platform in the same way. When it is time to remove the container, the electric pusher is activated to retract it, and the push-back plate pushes the container back onto the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt reverses, transporting the container to the placement opening side, where it is then retrieved by a worker. During the proofing process, a temperature sensor monitors the temperature inside the proofing chamber in real time. When the temperature changes, the temperature regulator is adjusted promptly to maintain the optimal proofing effect.
[0037] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
