[0026] Example
[0027] Reference Figure 1-4 This is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides a dough mixing machine for processing steamed buns, comprising:
[0028] The dough mixing assembly 100 includes a base 101, a housing 102 inserted into the middle of the upper end of the base 101, a column 103 fixedly connected to the side wall of the base 101, a support column 104 slidably connected to the end of the column 103, a motor 105 fixedly connected to the end of the support column 104, and a stirring rod 106 adapted to be installed at the output end of the motor 105, the end of the stirring rod 106 running inside the housing 102;
[0029] The heat insulation component 200 includes a cover plate 201 fixedly connected inside the base 101, a liquid supply valve 202 encapsulated in the side wall of the cover plate 201, a sleeve 203 sealed and inserted inside the cover plate 201, and an electric heating tube 204 encapsulated inside the sleeve 203. The cover plate 201 is inserted into the bottom of the box 102.
[0030] The base 101 serves as the basic support structure for the entire dough mixer, supporting the upper housing 102 and other related components. The housing 102 holds flour, water, and other ingredients for easy dough mixing. A column 103 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the base 101 and is used to install a support column 104. The support column 104 can slide up and down along the column 103, and its end is fixedly connected to a motor 105 as a power source. A stirring rod 106 is fitted to the motor's output end. When the motor 105 starts, it drives the stirring rod 106 to rotate at high speed, mixing the materials inside the housing 102. A cover plate 201 is fitted to the bottom of the housing 102, forming a relatively enclosed, insulated space. A liquid supply valve 202 is encapsulated on the side wall of the cover plate 201. The liquid supply valve 202 controls the entry of the insulating medium into the cover plate 201, facilitating heating of the housing 102 and maintaining a stable dough mixing temperature inside the housing 102. The sleeve 203 is sealed and inserted inside the cover plate 201, providing installation space for the heating element 204 and protecting it from direct contact with the insulation medium. The heating element 204, enclosed inside the sleeve 203, generates heat when energized to heat the insulation medium, maintaining a suitable temperature for the materials inside the box 102. This is beneficial for subsequent processes such as dough fermentation. It can also be used with auxiliary heating equipment such as a gas stove.
[0031] Specifically, the dough mixing assembly 100 also includes a cylinder 107 fixedly connected inside the column 103, with the end of the cylinder 107 fixedly connected to the end side wall of the support column 104.
[0032] The cylinder 107 controls the lifting and lowering of the support column 104, which can move up and down along the column 103 to adjust the state of the dough and facilitate cleaning of the inside of the box 102.
[0033] Furthermore, the dough assembly 100 also includes a limiting plate 108 fixedly connected to the side wall of the column 103, and the limiting plate 108 is used in conjunction with the support column 104.
[0034] The limiting plate 108 works in conjunction with the support column 104 to limit the movement range of the support column 104 and ensure its safe operation.
[0035] Furthermore, the limiting plate 108 is installed on the outer wall of the box 102, and the distance between the limiting plate 108 and the bottom of the inner side of the box 102 is not less than the length of the stirring rod 106.
[0036] The limiting plate 108 can limit the movement distance of the stirring rod 106, preventing the stirring rod 106 from exceeding the reasonable range during the rising or falling process, and avoiding damage to the box body 102.
[0037] Preferably, the dough assembly 100 also includes a connector 109 hinged to the side wall of the housing 102, the end of the connector 109 being snapped into the side wall of the column 103, the connector 109 being symmetrically installed on both sides of the column 103, and the upper surface of the housing 102 being kept horizontal through the connector 109.
[0038] The connector 109 is snapped onto the side wall of the column 103 and is symmetrically installed on both sides of the column 103. This connection method can keep the upper surface of the box 102 horizontal and ensure that the material is evenly distributed during the kneading process.
[0039] Preferably, the insulation component 200 also includes a drain valve 205 encapsulated at the bottom of the cover plate 201, which is used in conjunction with the supply valve 202.
[0040] The drain valve 205 is used in conjunction with the supply valve 202. When it is necessary to replace the insulation medium or stop the insulation operation, the insulation medium in the cover plate 201 can be drained through the drain valve 205.
[0041] When using the machine for making steamed buns and kneading dough, first pour an appropriate amount of flour, water, and other ingredients into the chamber 102. Start the motor 105, which drives the stirring rod 106 to rotate at high speed, mixing the materials inside the chamber. During the mixing process, the height of the support column 104 can be adjusted by controlling the lifting and lowering of the cylinder 107 according to actual needs, thereby ensuring that the materials are thoroughly and evenly mixed. If it is necessary to keep the materials inside the chamber 102 warm to promote dough fermentation or other processes, open the liquid supply valve 202 to inject hot water or other heat-insulating medium into the space between the cover plate 201 and the bottom of the chamber 102. At the same time, turn on the electric heating tube 204 to heat the heat-insulating medium, keeping the materials inside the chamber 102 within a suitable temperature range. When the heat-insulating operation is complete or the heat-insulating medium needs to be replaced, open the drain valve 205 to drain the heat-insulating medium from the cover plate 201. In addition, the connector 109 ensures the horizontal position of the housing 102 during installation and operation, and the limit plate 108 restricts the movement range of the support column 104, ensuring safe and stable operation of the equipment.
[0042] In summary, the high-speed rotation of the motor-driven stirring rod, combined with its adjustable height, enables comprehensive and thorough mixing of materials within the chamber, significantly improving kneading efficiency and quality, resulting in more uniform dough mixing. The insulation component, through the coordinated action of the supply valve, drain valve, and heating element, precisely controls the temperature of the materials inside the chamber, meeting the stringent temperature requirements of processes such as dough fermentation, thus contributing to improved steamed bun quality. The components are connected using plug-in, hinged, and fixed connections, resulting in a simple structure and convenient installation and disassembly. For example, the chamber body and base are connected via a plug-in joint, and the insulation component's cover is plugged into the bottom of the chamber, facilitating cleaning and maintenance of the equipment's interior. The design of the base, columns, limit plates, and connectors ensures the stability of the equipment during operation. The limit plates restrict the movement range of the support columns, and the connectors ensure the chamber body is level, effectively preventing shaking or displacement during operation and extending the equipment's lifespan.
