Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fermented pasta technology, specifically a fermentation machine for easy dough unloading. Background Technology

[0002] In most parts of northern China, wheat-based foods occupy a significant portion of the dining table. Steamed buns, bread, noodles, and other wheat-based foods, when skillfully prepared, require the dough to be placed in a fermentation machine. Through the fermentation process, they achieve their soft, delicious, and mouthwatering texture, becoming an indispensable classic delicacy in the daily diet of northerners.

[0003] Currently, various methods have been proposed for a fermentation machine for easy dough unloading in existing technologies. For example, a patent application with publication number "CN209677212U" discloses a fermentation machine for easy dough unloading. When it is necessary to take out the fermented dough from the inside of the fermentation machine, the second motor is turned on, which drives the lead screw to rotate clockwise. Both ends of the lead screw are threaded with push plates, and the threads on the left and right ends of the lead screw are in opposite directions. Thus, the push plates move towards the vertical center line of the lead screw. The push plates and the placement basin are connected to the support rod through pins. The tilt angle of the support rod gradually decreases, and the placement basin slowly moves upward, so that the top of the placement basin moves out of the machine body. Then, the rubber strip is taken out from the inside of the groove, and the edible oil paper and dough are taken out from the inside of the placement basin. However, the worker needs to place the dough in the placement basin from a height, and also needs to unload the dough from a height when taking it out, which poses certain safety hazards and can cause serious injuries such as fractures and sprains. Meanwhile, workers must place the mixed dough in a container, which increases the steps and complexity of the process, making the entire production process less smooth and efficient. This reduces the production efficiency of fermented pasta to some extent and is not conducive to large-scale industrial production.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a fermentation machine for easy unloading of fermented dough for food. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, a fermentation machine for easy unloading of fermented dough includes a base 1 and a baffle 17. A mixing tank 2 is connected to the upper end of the base 1. A groove 8 is provided on the upper end of the base 1. A retrieval slot 26 is provided in the groove 8. The retrieval slot 26 is connected to the side wall of the base 1. An electric push rod 9 is fixedly connected in the groove 8. A fermentation box 23 is placed on the upper end of the electric push rod 9. A rectangular frame 22 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 1. It should be noted that the height of the rectangular frame 22 is higher than the height of the water source in the mixing tank 2, so that the rectangular frame 22 intercepts the water and prevents the water from flowing freely in the mixing tank 2. A heating mechanism for heating the water in the mixing jar 2 is installed on the rectangular frame 22. A limiting mechanism for restricting the fermentation box 23 is also installed on the rectangular frame 22. A squeezing mechanism for squeezing the baffle 17 is installed on the base 1. A buffering mechanism for cushioning the fermentation box 23 is installed on the side wall of the baffle 17. A mixing mechanism for mixing the dough is installed inside the mixing jar 2. A caster wheel 7 is provided at the lower end of the base 1. A water injection pipe 5 and a drain pipe 6 are connected to the side wall of the mixing jar 2. During operation, an appropriate amount of water is injected into the mixing jar 2 through the water injection pipe 5. Then, the heating plate 24 in the heating mechanism is activated to heat the water in the mixing jar 2, providing suitable temperature conditions for dough fermentation. Then, the dough ingredients are placed into the fermentation box 23, and the electric push rod 9 operates, moving the fermentation box 23 upward along the groove 8 to a suitable position inside the mixing jar 2. At this time, the motor 19 is started, and the motor 19 drives the rotating rod 20 to rotate. The stirring rod 21 on the rotating rod 20 rotates accordingly, stirring the dough in the fermentation box 23. At the same time, the dough begins to ferment during the stirring process.

[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, the heating mechanism includes two heating plates 24, which are fixedly installed on opposite side walls of the rectangular frame 22. This structure allows for more uniform heating of the water in the mixing bowl 2, improving heating efficiency and ensuring that the water temperature quickly and stably reaches the temperature required for dough fermentation, thus promoting rapid and uniform fermentation of the dough.

[0027] like Figure 4As shown, the limiting mechanism includes two limiting plates 25, which are fixedly installed on the upper end of the rectangular frame 22. This structure effectively limits the position of the fermentation box 23 during its ascent, preventing it from rising excessively. This ensures the fermentation box 23 maintains a stable position within the mixing bowl 2, allowing the mixing rod 21 to accurately stir the dough within the fermentation box 23, thus guaranteeing effective stirring and fermentation.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the extrusion mechanism includes a screw 13, a nut 14, a connecting rod 15, and an extrusion plate 16. Two fixed plates 11 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the base 1. The screw 13 is rotatably mounted on the inner side wall of the two fixed plates 11. The nut 14 is threaded onto the screw 13. The connecting rod 15 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the nut 14. The extrusion plate 16 is fixedly mounted on the end of the connecting rod 15 away from the nut 14. The extrusion plate 16 slides against the side wall of the baffle 17. During operation, rotating the knob 10 causes the screw 13 to rotate between the fixed plates 11. Since the nut 14 is threaded onto the screw 13, the connecting rod 15 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the nut 14, and the extrusion plate 16 is fixedly mounted on the end of the connecting rod 15 away from the nut 14, as the screw 13 rotates, the nut 14 moves along the thread direction of the screw 13, thereby causing the extrusion plate 16 to slide against the side wall of the baffle 17.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the buffer mechanism includes a buffer pad 18, which is fixedly installed on the side wall of the baffle 17. The buffer pad 18 slides within the retrieval groove 26, and is made of EPE pearl cotton. Through this structure, the EPE pearl cotton possesses high-strength buffering and vibration-resistant properties, good flexibility and resilience, and resistance to repeated impacts. It has a soft texture, a relatively smooth surface, and a relatively low coefficient of friction. Furthermore, the buffer pad 18 compresses the fermentation box 23, ensuring that the fermentation box 23 fits snugly against the side wall of the groove 8, guaranteeing smooth up-and-down movement of the fermentation box 23 and preventing misalignment between the groove 8 and the fermentation box 23 from hindering its movement.

[0030] like Figure 4As shown, the stirring mechanism includes a rotating rod 20, a motor 19, and several stirring rods 21. The rotating rod 20 is rotatably mounted on the upper inner wall of the mixing tank 2. The motor 19 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the mixing tank 2, and the output shaft of the motor 19 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 20. The stirring rods 21 are fixedly mounted on the rotating rod 20 and rotate inside the fermentation box 23. A shell 3 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the mixing tank 2, and several heat dissipation holes 4 are provided on the side wall of the shell 3. During operation, the motor 19 is started, which drives the rotating rod 20 to rotate. The stirring rods 21 on the rotating rod 20 rotate accordingly, stirring the dough inside the fermentation box 23. At the same time, the dough begins to ferment during the stirring process.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, a knob 10 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the fixed plate 11. The screw 13 passes through the fixed plate 11 and is fixedly connected to the knob 10. A guide rod 12 is fixedly connected between the two fixed plates 11, and the nut 14 passes through the sliding guide rod 12. Through the above structure, the guide rod 12 can ensure the stability of the nut 14 during movement, prevent the nut 14 from shaking or tilting on the screw 13, thereby ensuring the smooth movement of the extrusion plate 16 and improving the accuracy and effect of the extrusion operation.

[0032] Working principle: First, an appropriate amount of water is injected into the mixing tank 2 through the water injection pipe 5. Then, the heating plate 24 in the heating mechanism is activated to heat the water in the mixing tank 2, providing suitable temperature conditions for dough fermentation. Next, the flour and water ingredients are placed into the fermentation box 23, and the knob 10 is turned. The knob 10 drives the screw 13 to rotate between the fixed plates 11. Since the nut 14 is threaded onto the screw 13, the connecting rod 15 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the nut 14, and the extrusion plate 16 is fixedly installed on the end of the connecting rod 15 away from the nut 14, as the screw 13 rotates, the nut 14 moves along the thread direction of the screw 13, thereby causing the extrusion plate 16 to slide against the side wall of the baffle 17, thus blocking the take-up slot 26. Reversing the rotation disengages the baffle 17 from the take-up slot 26. The buffer pad 18 contacts the side wall of the fermentation box 23, and the buffer pad 18 deforms, causing the fermentation box 23 to move up and down along the groove 8, so that the side wall of the groove 8 will not obstruct the movement of the fermentation box 23.

[0033] The electric push rod 9 operates, driving the fermentation box 23 to move upward along the groove 8 until it contacts the limiting plate 25. At this time, the motor 19 is started, and the motor 19 drives the rotating rod 20 to rotate. The stirring rod 21 on the rotating rod 20 rotates accordingly, stirring the dough in the fermentation box 23. At the same time, the dough begins to ferment during the stirring process.

[0034] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
