Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fermentation box technology, and in particular to a pastry fermentation box with dual temperature and humidity control. Background Technology
[0002] According to Chinese Publication No. CN220140677U, a food placement component for a pastry fermentation box includes a placement component disposed inside the pastry fermentation box. Multiple sets of food placement inner frames are evenly distributed inside the pastry fermentation box. This food placement component, when the food placement inner frame is at the upper end of the placement rack, will drive a positioning insert plate to insert into the corresponding sleeve frame to position the food placement inner frame. If the second pull handle is pulled out, the insert plate is removed from its inserted position in the inner fixing plate groove. Rear connecting plates are installed at the inner ends of the two side placement racks. At this time, the placement structure can be moved outside the pastry fermentation box to allow for changing the height of the food placement inner frames as needed. This also facilitates cleaning of the entire structure during long-term use, ensuring thorough cleaning and maintaining the overall effectiveness of the device.
[0003] The fermentation chambers described above and in existing technologies mostly use a one-piece fixed inner liner. During long-term use, due to frequent contact with pastry ingredients, high temperature and humidity environments, and cleaning operations, the inner liner is prone to wear, corrosion, and stains. Once the inner liner is damaged, the performance and hygiene of the entire fermentation chamber will be affected, and the inner liner of the aforementioned technologies and existing fermentation chambers cannot be replaced. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing fermentation boxes in which the inner liner cannot be replaced, and to propose a pastry fermentation box with dual temperature and humidity control.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a pastry fermentation box with dual temperature and humidity control, comprising a box body, a control panel on the surface of the box body, a box door on one side of the box body, an inner chamber inside the box body, two sliding grooves on the surface of the inner walls on both sides of the inner chamber, a first inner liner inside the inner chamber, two sliders on the outer surfaces on both sides of the first inner liner, heating wires on the inner walls on both sides of the first inner liner, two through holes on the surface of both the box body and the first inner liner, water tanks inside the two through holes on the surface of the box body, mounting brackets on the top of the two water tanks, atomizing plates on the surface of the two mounting brackets, female heads on one side of the two through holes, male heads on the outer surface of the first inner liner, handles on the inner surfaces on both sides of the first inner liner, two temperature sensors on the surface of the box door, and a humidity sensor on one side of each of the two temperature sensors.
[0006] Preferably, the door is hinged to the body, and the two temperature sensors and two humidity sensors are sequentially and perpendicularly mounted on the surface of the door, with both temperature and humidity sensors bolted to the door.
[0007] Preferably, the positions of the two sliding grooves on the inner surfaces of both sides of the inner compartment correspond one-to-one. The first inner liner is installed in the inner compartment. The positions of the two sliders on the outer surfaces of both sides of the first inner liner correspond one-to-one with the positions of the sliding grooves on the inner wall surface of the inner compartment. The two sliders on both sides of the first inner liner are installed in the sliding grooves on the inner surface of the inner compartment.
[0008] Preferably, the two through holes on the surface of the box are perpendicular, and the positions of the two through holes on the surface of the first inner liner correspond one-to-one with the positions of the two through holes on the surface of the box. Both female heads are located on the surface of the inner compartment, and the two inner compartments are mirror images of each other with the two through holes as the center.
[0009] Preferably, both water tanks are installed in the two through holes of the tank body and the first inner liner, and both water tanks are bolted to the tank body. One end of each of the two mounting brackets is installed inside the water tank, and the mounting brackets are inserted into the water tanks. Both atomizing plates are bolted to the two mounting brackets.
[0010] Preferably, the position of the male head on the outer surface of the first inner liner corresponds one-to-one with the position of the female head on the inner compartment surface, and the male head of the first inner liner is installed in the female head of the inner compartment.
[0011] Preferably, the two handles are positioned in parallel, and both handles are hinged to the inner surface of the first inner liner.
[0012] Beneficial effects
[0013] In this invention, when the inner liner needs cleaning or replacement, the operator opens the cabinet door and pulls the first inner liner outward using two handles on the inner wall. Due to the friction between the slider of the first inner liner and the groove of the inner chamber, a certain amount of force is required when pulling it outward. After the old first inner liner is pulled out, the new first inner liner is installed in the inner chamber. During installation, the slider of the first inner liner is aligned with the groove of the inner chamber, and the first inner liner is pushed into the inner chamber. After the first inner liner is pushed into the inner chamber, the water tank installed in the two through holes on the back of the cabinet is inserted into the through holes of the new first inner liner, and the male end of the first inner liner is installed into the female end at the top of the inner chamber surface, thus completing the replacement of the inner liner of the cabinet. This solves the problem that existing fermentation boxes cannot replace the inner liner. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To make the technical means, creative features, and achieved objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model is further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. However, the following embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments described in the implementation plan without creative effort are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0023] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Specific Implementation Example 1:
[0025] Reference Figure 1-6 A pastry fermentation box with dual temperature and humidity control includes a box body 1, a control panel 2 on the surface of the box body 1, a door 3 on one side of the box body 1, an inner chamber 4 inside the box body 1, two sliding grooves 5 on the surface of the inner walls on both sides of the inner chamber 4, a first inner liner 6 inside the inner chamber 4, two sliders 7 on the outer surfaces of both sides of the first inner liner 6, heating wires 15 on the inner walls on both sides of the first inner liner 6, two through holes 11 on the surface of both the box body 1 and the first inner liner 6, and water tanks 12 inside the two through holes 11 on the surface of the box body 1. A mounting bracket 13 is provided on the top of each of the two water tanks 12. Both mounting brackets 13 have atomizing plates 14 on their surfaces, and each of the two through holes 11 has a female head 10 on one side. The outer surface of the first inner liner 6 has a male head 9, and both inner surfaces of the first inner liner 6 have handles 8. The surface of the door 3 has two temperature sensors 16, and each of the two temperature sensors 16 has a humidity sensor 17 on one side. The door 3 is hinged to the body 1. The two temperature sensors 16 and the two humidity sensors 17 are sequentially and perpendicularly mounted on the surface of the door 3, and both the temperature sensors 16 and the humidity sensors 17 are bolted to the door 3. The inner surfaces of both sides of the inner compartment 4 have two sliding grooves 5. The positions of the two sliders 7 on the outer surfaces of the first inner liner 6 correspond one-to-one with the positions of the grooves 5 on the inner wall surface of the inner chamber 4. The two sliders 7 on both sides of the first inner liner 6 are installed in the grooves 5 on the inner surface of the inner chamber 4. The two through holes 11 on the surface of the housing 1 are perpendicular, and the positions of the two through holes 11 on the surface of the first inner liner 6 correspond one-to-one with the positions of the two through holes 11 on the surface of the housing 1. The two female heads 10 are both located on the surface of the inner chamber 4, and the two inner chambers 4 are mirror images of each other with the two through holes 11 as the center. The two water reservoirs... The tanks 12 are installed in the two through holes 11 of the body 1 and the first inner liner 6, and the two water tanks 12 are bolted to the body 1. One end of the two mounting brackets 13 is installed inside the water tank 12, and the mounting brackets 13 are inserted into the water tank 12. The two atomizing plates 14 are bolted to the two mounting brackets 13. The position of the male head 9 on the outer surface of the first inner liner 6 corresponds one-to-one with the position of the female head 10 on the surface of the inner chamber 4, and the male head 9 of the first inner liner 6 is installed in the female head 10 of the inner chamber 4. The two handles 8 are positioned in a parallel state, and the two handles 8 are hinged to the inner surface of the first inner liner 6.
[0026] The control panel 2 serves as the human-machine interface. Users can send commands to the fermentation chamber's control system by operating buttons on the control panel 2, controlling the opening and closing of devices such as the heating wire 15 and the atomizing plate 14, as well as setting parameters such as temperature and humidity. The chamber door 3 is connected to the chamber body 1 via hinges, allowing it to be opened and closed for operators to place pastries in and out. When closed, it ensures a sealed environment inside the fermentation chamber, reducing heat and moisture loss. The temperature sensor 16 monitors the temperature inside the chamber in real time, converting the temperature data into an electrical signal and feeding it back to the control system; the humidity sensor 17 monitors the humidity inside the chamber in real time, similarly converting the humidity data into an electrical signal and feeding it back to the control system. These sensors are installed on the chamber door 3, allowing for relatively accurate detection of the temperature and humidity inside the chamber. The inner chamber 4 is the space for placing the inner liner. The sliding groove 5 provides a track for the installation and sliding of the inner liner, ensuring the stability of the inner liner installation and facilitating replacement. The first inner liner 6 is the actual space for placing pastries for fermentation. The sliders 7 on both sides of the first inner liner cooperate with the sliding grooves 5 of the inner chamber 4, facilitating the installation and removal of the inner liner; the handle 8 makes it convenient for operators to move and load / unload the inner liner. When current passes through the heating wire 15 (generally made of resistance wire materials such as nickel-chromium alloy), electrical energy is converted into heat energy according to Joule's law, raising the internal temperature of the first inner liner 6 and providing a suitable temperature environment for pastry fermentation. The through hole 11 of the box body 1 is connected to the through hole 11 of the first inner liner 6, allowing one end of the water tank 12 to penetrate into the interior of the first inner liner 6. When the atomizing plate 14 in the water tank 12 is turned on through the control panel 2, the atomizing plate 14, made of piezoelectric ceramic material, generates high-frequency mechanical vibration due to the piezoelectric effect when an AC voltage is applied to both sides of the piezoelectric ceramic plate. This high-frequency vibration "breaks" the water inside the water tank 12 into tiny water droplets, forming water mist that diffuses into the interior of the first inner liner 6. The water tank 12 stores water, providing a water source for atomization. The mounting bracket 13 is used to fix the atomizing plate 14, ensuring its stability during operation and sealing the exposed end of the water tank 12, so that the generated mist can only diffuse into the interior of the first inner liner 6. When the first inner liner 6 is installed in place, the male connector 9 of the first inner liner 6 is inserted into the female connector 10 to establish a circuit connection, thereby enabling the control panel 2 to control the heating wire 15 inside the inner liner.
[0027] During use, the operator sets the required temperature and humidity parameters via control panel 2. After closing the door 3, temperature sensor 16 and humidity sensor 17 monitor the temperature and humidity data inside the chamber in real time and provide feedback to the control system. If the temperature does not reach the set value, the control system will instruct the heating wire 15 to be energized and heat up, raising the temperature inside the first inner liner 6; if the humidity is insufficient, the control system will activate the atomizing plate 14 to atomize the water in the water tank 12 and send it into the first inner liner 6 to increase the internal humidity. Throughout the fermentation process, temperature and humidity sensor 17 continuously monitors, and the control system adjusts the working status of heating wire 15 and atomizer in real time based on the feedback data to maintain a stable temperature and humidity environment to meet the fermentation requirements of pastries. When it is necessary to clean or replace the inner liner, open the door 3, and the operator uses handle 8 to pull out the first inner liner 6 along the slide groove 5, replace it with a new inner liner, then align the slider 7 of the new inner liner with the slide groove 5 and insert it, connecting the male connector 9 and the female connector 10. Insert the water tank 12 into the through hole 11 of the inner liner to complete the replacement and continue the fermentation operation. Specific Implementation Example 2:
[0029] Reference Figure 1-6 A pastry fermentation box with temperature and humidity control is further based on the basic structure in Specific Embodiment 1. The first inner liner 6 can be replaced with two second inner liners 18. The outer surfaces of both sides of the two second inner liners 18 are provided with sliders 7. The two sliders 7 are mirror images of the second inner liners 18, and the positions of the sliders 7 on the surface of the second inner liners 18 correspond one-to-one with the positions of the sliding grooves 5 in the inner chamber 4. The outer surfaces of the two second inner liners 18 are provided with male heads 9. The installation method of the second inner liners 18 is the same as that of the first inner liner 6. The inner walls of both sides of the second inner liners 18 are provided with heating wires 15, and the inner wall of the second inner liners 18 has only one through hole 11.
[0030] During replacement, the operator must first ensure that the fermentation chamber has stopped operating and that the internal temperature and humidity have decreased to safe levels to avoid burns or other safety hazards caused by high temperature and humidity during the replacement process. Simultaneously, prepare the new second inner liner 18 to be replaced. The operator then holds the handle 8 of the door 3 and opens it using the hinges. At this point, the door 3 separates from the chamber body 1, exposing the inner chamber 4. If the first inner liner 6 is installed in the inner chamber 4, the operator holds the handles 8 on both sides of the inner surface of the first inner liner 6. Due to the friction between the sliders 7 on both sides of the first inner liner 6 and the grooves 5 on the inner wall surface of the inner chamber 4, the operator must apply even force and pull the handles 8 horizontally outwards to slowly pull the first inner liner 6 out of the inner chamber 4 along the grooves 5. The operator then picks up the new second inner liner 18 and observes the position of the sliders 7 on both sides of its outer surface, ensuring that the sliders 7 are mirror images of the second inner liner 18 and that their positions correspond to the grooves 5 on the inner wall surface of the inner chamber 4. Align the slider 7 on one side of the second inner liner 18 with the groove 5 on the inner wall of the inner chamber 4, and slowly push the second inner liner 18 into the inner chamber 4, keeping the inner liner horizontal and pushing it smoothly to prevent the slider 7 from deviating from the groove 5. After one side of the slider 7 has completely slid into the groove 5, slide the other side of the slider 7 into the corresponding groove 5 in the same way to initially install the second inner liner 18. At this time, the position of the male connector 9 on the outer surface of the newly installed second inner liner 18 should correspond one-to-one with the position of the female connector 10 on the top surface of the inner chamber 4. Then accurately insert the male connector 9 of the newly installed second inner liner 18 into the corresponding female connector 10 on the top surface of the inner chamber 4 to complete the circuit connection, so that the control panel 2 can control the heating wire 15 inside the second inner liner 18. Next, insert the water tank 12, which is installed in the two through holes 11 on the surface of the housing 1, into the two through holes 11 on the surface of the new second inner liner 18 according to the corresponding position, ensuring that the water tank 12 is firmly installed and that it fits tightly with the through holes 11 of the second inner liner 18 to prevent water leakage or mist leakage. To install two second inner liner 18, install another new second inner liner 18 in the same manner at the other side of the inner chamber 4's sliding groove 5, and complete the connection of the male connector 9 and the female connector 10, as well as the installation of the water tank 12. After all the second inner liner 18s are installed, the operator closes the door 3, ensuring that the door 3 fits tightly against the chamber 1 to form a good sealing environment. At this time, the two temperature sensors 16 and two humidity sensors 17 on the surface of the door 3 will enter the corresponding second inner liner 18 as the door 3 closes. The operator can check through the control panel 2 whether the temperature sensors 16 and humidity sensors 17 are working properly and whether they can accurately report the temperature and humidity data inside the second inner liner 18. At the same time, check whether the heating wire 15 and the atomizing plate 14 can be controlled normally through the control panel 2, thus confirming that the replacement of the second inner liner 18 has been successfully completed. Afterwards, the operator can set different temperature and humidity parameters for the two second inner liner 18 through the control panel 2 according to the fermentation requirements of different pastries, and carry out the fermentation operation.
[0031] In summary:
[0032] 1. When cleaning or replacing the inner liner, the operator opens the door 3 and pulls the first inner liner 6 outward using the two handles 8 on the inner wall. Due to the friction between the slider 7 of the first inner liner 6 and the groove 5 of the inner chamber 4, a certain amount of force is required when pulling it outward. After the old first inner liner 6 is pulled out, the new first inner liner 6 is installed in the inner chamber 4. During installation, the slider 7 of the first inner liner 6 is aligned with the groove 5 of the inner chamber 4, and the first inner liner 6 is pushed into the inner chamber 4. After the first inner liner 6 is pushed into the inner chamber 4, the water tank 12 installed in the two through holes 11 on the back of the box body 1 is inserted into the through holes 11 of the new first inner liner 6, and the male head 9 of the first inner liner 6 is installed into the female head 10 at the top of the surface of the inner chamber 4, thus completing the replacement of the inner liner of the box. This solves the problem that existing fermentation boxes cannot replace the inner liner.
