Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of food processing equipment, and more specifically, relates to a vertical bread baking device. Background Technology

[0002] In food processing plants or restaurants, bread sometimes needs to be baked to achieve a finer texture. While commercially available ovens can be used for baking small batches, conventional ovens are often insufficient for large-scale baking, requiring specialized bread baking equipment.

[0003] Current vertical bread toasters use a vertical baking channel. Bread enters the channel from the top and is rapidly heated by heating plates on the side walls before flowing out from the bottom. The entire baking process is fluid, allowing for the baking of large batches of bread. The core component of a vertical bread toaster is its internal heating plate, which needs to be in close contact with the bread surface to maximize baking efficiency.

[0004] However, bread from different manufacturers varies in thickness. Bread that is too thin falls too quickly and doesn't have enough contact time with the heating plate, while bread that is too thick can get stuck in the baking channel, leading to over-baking or even burning. An existing patent (CN115624040A) describes a vertical bread baking device that uses a ratchet mechanism consisting of a camshaft, ratchet, and pawl for adjustment. This ratchet mechanism can only adjust the size of the baking channel in one direction; it cannot retract when over-adjusted, which is inconvenient for convenient operation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this application is to provide a vertical bread baking device that allows for convenient adjustment of the size of the baking channel.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application proposes a vertical bread baking device, comprising:

[0007] frame;

[0008] A heating plate, which is fixedly connected inside the frame, is used to heat the bread;

[0009] A movable pressure plate is movably connected within the frame, and the movable pressure plate is disposed opposite to the heating plate so that a heating channel is formed between the movable pressure plate and the heating plate;

[0010] An adjustment assembly is disposed on the side of the movable pressure plate away from the heating plate. The adjustment assembly includes a gear block and an adjustment shaft. The adjustment shaft is movably connected within the frame. The outer periphery of the gear block is provided with multiple gear planes, which are distributed along the circumference of the gear block's axis. The gear block is eccentrically provided with a shaft hole. The adjustment shaft passes through the shaft hole and is fixedly connected to the gear block to drive the gear block to contact the movable pressure plate and push the movable pressure plate closer to or away from the heating plate.

[0011] Furthermore, there are two movable pressure plates and two adjusting components arranged symmetrically in mirror image, and heating channels are formed on both sides of the heating plate.

[0012] Furthermore, one end of the adjusting shaft passes through the frame and is equipped with a gear lever.

[0013] Furthermore, an auxiliary heating tube is provided on one side of the movable pressure plate to heat the bread through the movable pressure plate.

[0014] Furthermore, a heat insulation component is provided on the side of the auxiliary heating tube away from the movable pressure plate.

[0015] Furthermore, a bread receiving tray is provided below the heating channel.

[0016] Furthermore, it also includes a feeding assembly, which includes a feeding chain, a sprocket, and a silicone conveyor belt. The sprocket is arranged at both ends of the movable pressure plate. The feeding chain wraps around the surface of the movable pressure plate near the heating plate and the sprocket. The silicone conveyor belt covers the surface of the feeding chain. The feeding chain drives the bread to move through the silicone conveyor belt.

[0017] Furthermore, it also includes a drive assembly, which includes a drive motor connected to the sprocket to drive the feed chain to move.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by setting a stop block on the adjusting shaft of the adjusting component, and by having the stop plane on the stop block contact the movable pressure plate, the contact between the adjusting component and the movable pressure plate changes from point contact to surface contact. In addition, the contraction force of the movable pressure plate and the damping of the adjusting component can keep the adjusting shaft, the stop block and the movable pressure plate in a stable state and prevent instability. There is no need to use a ratchet mechanism to limit the rotation of the adjusting shaft, and the position of the movable pressure plate can also be stabilized. Therefore, the rotation direction of the adjusting shaft can be controlled at will, thereby improving the convenience of operation. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this disclosure.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this disclosure, and not all of them. This disclosure can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and the details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this disclosure. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments in this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0028] Example

[0029] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, an embodiment of this application discloses a vertical bread baking device, including a frame 1, a heating plate 2, a movable pressure plate 3, an adjustment assembly 4, a feeding assembly 7, and a drive assembly. The frame 1 is the main structure of the device, used to support other components. The heating plate 2 is fixed inside the frame 1 and has an embedded heating coil. When the heating coil is energized, it generates heat to heat the bread. The movable pressure plate 3 is movably connected to the frame 1 via a connecting assembly 320. The movable pressure plate 3 is positioned opposite the heating plate 2, forming a heating channel 310 between them. The connecting assembly 320 continuously applies a tensile and contractile force away from the heating plate 2 to the movable pressure plate 3.

[0030] Adjustment component 4 is located on the side of movable pressure plate 3 away from heating plate 2. Adjustment component 4 includes a stop block 410 and an adjustment shaft 420. The adjustment shaft 420 is movably connected inside the frame 1. The outer periphery of the stop block 410 is provided with multiple stop planes, which are distributed along the circumference of the axis of the stop block 410. The stop block 410 is eccentrically provided with a shaft hole. The adjustment shaft 420 passes through the shaft hole and is fixedly connected to the stop block 410 to drive the stop block 410 to contact the movable pressure plate 3 and push the movable pressure plate 3 closer to or away from the heating plate 2. When bread needs to be baked, the adjusting shaft 420 is rotated, which drives the gear block 410 to rotate. Since the adjusting shaft 420 and the gear block 410 are not coaxially set, but eccentrically set, the gear block 410 will not rotate coaxially with the adjusting block. The distance from the gear plane on the outer periphery of the gear block 410 to the adjusting shaft 420 is different. This different distance from the adjusting shaft 420 to the multiple gear planes is the deviation of the position change of the movable pressure plate 3. By adjusting the position of the movable pressure plate 3 in this way, the size of the heating channel 310 is changed to adapt to the size of the bread to be heated.

[0031] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The feeding assembly 7 includes a feeding chain 720, a sprocket 710, and a silicone conveyor belt 730. The sprocket 710 is arranged at both ends of the movable pressure plate 3. The feeding chain 720 wraps around the surface of the movable pressure plate 3 near the heating plate 2 and the sprocket 710. The silicone conveyor belt 730 covers the surface of the feeding chain 720, and the feeding chain 720 moves the bread through the silicone conveyor belt 730. The silicone conveyor belt 730 is soft and elastic, which can prevent the feeding chain 720, which is in direct contact with the sprocket 710, from contacting the bread and thus contaminating the bread.

[0032] The drive assembly includes a drive motor connected to a sprocket 710 to drive the feed chain 720 to move.

[0033] In this embodiment, a stop block 410 is set on the adjustment shaft 420 of the adjustment component 4. The stop plane on the stop block 410 contacts the movable pressure plate 3, so that the contact between the adjustment component 4 and the movable pressure plate 3 changes from point contact to surface contact. In addition, the contraction force of the movable pressure plate 3 and the damping of the adjustment component 4 can keep the adjustment shaft 420, the stop block 410 and the movable pressure plate 3 in a stable state and prevent them from becoming unstable. There is no need to use a ratchet mechanism to limit the rotation of the adjustment shaft 420, and the position of the movable pressure plate 3 can also be stabilized. Therefore, the rotation direction of the adjustment shaft 420 can be controlled at will, thereby improving the ease of operation.

[0034] Furthermore, there are two movable pressure plates 3 and two adjusting components 4, which are arranged symmetrically and in mirror image. The two movable pressure plates 3 form heating channels 310 on both sides of the heating plate 2, so that there are two heating channels 310 on each side of the heating plate 2, which can improve the baking efficiency of bread.

[0035] Furthermore, one end of the adjusting shaft 420 passes through the frame 1 and is equipped with a stop wrench 430, which allows the size of the heating channel 310 to be adjusted directly, thus improving convenience.

[0036] In one possible embodiment, an auxiliary heating tube 5 is also provided on one side of the movable pressure plate 3 to heat the bread through the movable pressure plate 3. It can heat the bread together with the heating plate 2 to achieve double-sided baking of the bread, making the baking effect of the bread more uniform.

[0037] Furthermore, a heat insulation component 321 is provided on the side of the auxiliary heating tube 5 away from the movable pressure plate 3. The heat insulation component 321 includes, but is not limited to, a mirror steel plate, a mica plate, and thermal insulation cotton. The mirror steel plate is used to reflect internal heat energy, the mica plate is used to reduce the conduction of internal heat to the outside, and the thermal insulation cotton is used to retain internal heat. The three components work together to reduce the loss of internal heat and the resulting drop in temperature of the heating channel 310, while also preventing the user from being burned by the high internal temperature.

[0038] In one possible embodiment, a bread tray 6 is provided below the heating channel 310. The main body of the bread tray 6 is a multi-section bent board that bends downward from one side of the heating channel 310 until it is perpendicular to the heating channel 310 or can touch the ground.
