Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steamed bun fermentation technology, specifically to a fermentation device for making steamed buns. Background Technology
[0002] Steamed buns are a classic representative of traditional Chinese staple foods, with a long history and rich variety. They combine the wheat aroma of flour with the diverse flavors of fillings, offering both satiety and a delightful taste. They are a popular staple food enjoyed by people from all walks of life. As a traditional Chinese pastry, the fermentation process directly affects the taste, appearance, and yield of the finished product. Precise control of temperature, humidity, and airflow distribution during fermentation is a key technical challenge.
[0003] Existing fermentation equipment often uses two different heating elements to heat the entire device. However, this heating method results in a uniform heating area, with areas further away from the heating elements experiencing poor heating and affecting the fermentation effect. Furthermore, the internal environment of the device is prone to being dry at the top and wet at the bottom, leading to inconsistent fermentation results between the upper and lower areas.
[0004] In summary, it is particularly important to design a system that ensures the same heating effect on the top and bottom, as well as on areas far from the heating element, to avoid the situation where the top is dry and the bottom is hot. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problem in the prior art where inconsistent internal temperature leads to poor fermentation results and a situation where the top is dry and the bottom is wet.
[0006] Based on the above technical ideas, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: by setting up a circulation mechanism to clean the steam generated inside the main body of the device, the steam and water vapor are separated to prevent the steam from falling and affecting the fermentation. At the same time, the water vapor is driven to spray towards the main body of the device, thereby avoiding dryness at the top and wetness at the bottom. The partition mechanism is also used to make the airflow spiral to ensure that the area far away from the heating plate can also carry out effective fermentation.
[0007] A fermentation device for making steamed buns includes a main body with a partition mechanism at its center and a circulation mechanism above it. The partition mechanism holds the steamed buns, and the circulation mechanism drives airflow to rotate, thus initiating fermentation. The circulation mechanism further includes circulating fan blades, a separation mechanism, an air outlet, a filter tank, a water outlet, an ultrasonic device, a transmission pipe, and a mixing pipe. The circulating fan blades are symmetrically distributed on the top of the main body, and the other side of each fan blade is connected to a mixing pipe for exhaust. The interaction between the circulating fan blades and the mixing pipe allows for rapid expulsion of water vapor and gas, preventing water vapor from accumulating above the main body.
[0008] Further defining the above technical solution, heating elements are provided on both sides of the main body of the device, and the device is divided into three heating zones with different temperatures, which are used to heat different areas separately, and the triple heating ensures that it can adapt to heating under different conditions.
[0009] To further define the above technical solution, a base is connected to the lower part of the main body of the device, and a water storage tank is provided below the base for storing water, so that water can be temporarily stored in the water storage tank for convenient use later.
[0010] Further defining the above technical solution, the partition mechanism also includes a placement plate, a vent, a spiral block, and a magnetic block. The two sides of the placement plate are connected to magnetic blocks for quick installation. The magnetic blocks are connected to the main body of the device by magnetic attraction. The placement plate and the main body of the device can be quickly installed and disassembled through the magnetic blocks, making it convenient to remove the placement plate.
[0011] Further defining the above technical solution, the vents are spirally distributed below the placement plate, and spiral blocks are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the placement plate. The spiral blocks are used to make the airflow spiral upward. By using the spiral blocks in conjunction with the vents, the airflow and water vapor can spiral upward.
[0012] Further defining the above technical solution, the separation mechanism and the mixing pipe are installed as an integrated unit for separating water vapor and waste gas. An outlet is connected to the top of the separation mechanism, and a transmission pipe is connected to the bottom of the separation mechanism. By using the outlet and the separation mechanism in conjunction, the gas is discharged and the water vapor flows downward.
[0013] Further defining the above technical solution, the transmission pipe is threaded with a filter groove at its center, the transmission pipe is symmetrically distributed above the water storage tank, an ultrasonic device is installed above the center of the water storage tank, and atomizing water outlets are symmetrically distributed above the ultrasonic device. By using the ultrasonic device in conjunction with the water outlets, water vapor is dispersed and sprayed towards the interior of the device body to avoid the top area from becoming too dry.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] (1) Uniform fermentation in different areas: By setting circulating fan blades at the top of the main body of the device, the airflow is continuously rolled and mixed, so that the airflow can rise in a spiral and move in a spiral motion inside the main body of the device, thereby driving the heat to move evenly and ensuring thorough fermentation.
[0016] (2) Ensure balanced internal humidity: By setting up an ultrasonic device at the bottom of the main body of the device and cooperating with the water outlet, the water flow is atomized and dispersed, and then sprayed out through the water outlet. At the same time, the atomized water will also be driven up by the circulating fan blades, so that the equipment at the bottom and the equipment at the top are mixed, avoiding excessive moisture at the bottom and excessive dryness at the top, thus ensuring the fermentation effect.
[0017] (3) Automatic circulation separation: By setting a separation device at the top, water vapor and gas are separated. Then, water vapor is injected into the water storage tank through the filter tank and then separated by ultrasonic equipment. This avoids water vapor accumulation at the top and allows the water vapor to be recycled, ensuring convenient and quick use. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-4 The present invention will be described in further detail below.
[0025] This embodiment provides a fermentation device for making steamed buns, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, heating elements are provided on both sides of the main body 1 of the device, and the device is divided into three heating zones with different temperatures. These zones are used to heat different areas separately. The triple heating ensures that the device can be adapted to heating under different conditions. A base 2 is also connected to the bottom of the main body 1. A water storage tank 3 is provided below the base 2 for storing water. The water is temporarily stored in the water storage tank 3 for convenient use later.
[0026] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment of the utility model, the device body 1 has a partition mechanism 4 at its center. The partition mechanism 4 also includes a placement plate 401, a vent 402, a spiral block 403, and a magnetic block 404. The placement plate 401 is connected to both sides with magnetic blocks 404 for quick installation. The magnetic blocks 404 are connected to the device body 1 by magnetic attraction. The placement plate 401 and the device body 1 can be quickly installed and disassembled by the magnetic blocks 404, making it easy to remove the placement plate 401. The vent 402 is spirally distributed below the placement plate 401. The spiral blocks 403 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the placement plate 401. The spiral blocks 403 are used to make the airflow spiral upward. By using the spiral blocks 403 in conjunction with the vent 402, the airflow and water vapor can spiral upward.
[0027] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 4 In this embodiment of the invention, the circulation mechanism 5 further includes a circulation fan blade 501, a separation mechanism 502, an air outlet 503, a filter tank 504, a water outlet 505, an ultrasonic device 506, a transmission pipe 507, and a mixing pipe 508. The circulation fan blades 501 are symmetrically distributed on the top of the device body 1. The other side of the circulation fan blades 501 is connected to the mixing pipe 508 for exhaust. Through the cooperation of the circulation fan blades 501 and the mixing pipe 508, water vapor and gas can be quickly discharged, preventing water vapor from accumulating above the device body 1. The separation mechanism 502 is integrated with the mixing pipe 508 and is used to separate water vapor and waste gas. An air outlet 503 is connected above the air separation mechanism 502, and a transmission pipe 507 is connected below the air separation mechanism 502. By using the air outlet 503 in conjunction with the separation mechanism 502, gas is discharged and water vapor flows downward. A filter tank 504 is threadedly connected to the center of the transmission pipe 507. The transmission pipe 507 is symmetrically distributed above the water storage tank 3. An ultrasonic device 506 is installed above the center of the water storage tank 3. Atomizing water outlets 505 are symmetrically distributed above the ultrasonic device 506. By using the ultrasonic device 506 in conjunction with the water outlets 505, water vapor is dispersed and sprayed into the interior of the device body 1 to prevent the top area from becoming too dry.
[0028] Working principle: First, turn on the switch of the main body 1 of the device, place the buns to be fermented on the top of the placement plate 401, and then place the placement plate 401 into the interior of the main body 1 of the device. At this time, the magnetic blocks 404 on both sides of the placement plate 401 are attracted to the main body 1 of the device, so that the placement plate 401 is placed. Then close the main body 1 of the device, turn on the heating plates on both sides, and start the heating and fermentation work.
[0029] As mentioned above, during the fermentation process, the circulating fan blade 501 starts to rotate, driving the airflow and water vapor towards the interior of the mixing pipe 508. During the gas flow, heat is also generated, preventing the area of the heating element from being too hot while the temperature in the center is too low, which would result in incomplete fermentation. Afterward, the airflow and water vapor are separated by the separation mechanism 502. The airflow is discharged through the air outlet 503, and the water vapor is filtered through the filter tank 504 after passing through the transmission pipe 507, and finally drips into the interior of the water storage tank 3. At this time, the ultrasonic device 506 above the water storage tank 3 disperses the water flow through the water pipe, turning it into mist, which is discharged through the water outlet 505. Since the water outlet 505 corresponds to the circulating fan blade 501, the mist is adsorbed by the upward direction of the circulating fan blade 501. Then, the mist is spirally distributed inside the multiple air vents 402 by the spiral block 403, and finally enters the interior of the mixing pipe 508, preventing the bottom from being too wet and the top from being too dry. After fermentation, edible cleaning materials can also be added into the interior of the water storage tank 3. After being dispersed by the ultrasonic device 506, the interior of the main body 1 of the device is automatically cleaned.
[0030] It is important to note that staff need to observe the water level inside the water storage tank 3. Simply relying on recycling cannot guarantee sufficient water level, so manual water replenishment is required. Also, the separation mechanism 502 can be replaced with a condenser plate or centrifugal separation equipment, depending on the actual situation.
[0031] The above description is a further detailed explanation of the present invention in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, which is intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand and apply the present invention. However, it should not be assumed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions.
