Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dough processing technology, specifically to a dough proofing device. Background Technology

[0002] During the proofing process, the yeast in the dough uses sugars for aerobic respiration, producing carbon dioxide gas. These gases are evenly distributed inside the dough, forming countless tiny air cells, which act like a sturdy "skeleton" for the dough, causing it to expand and increase in volume.

[0003] As the proofing time is extended, the dough becomes softer and more porous, which significantly improves its plasticity and makes subsequent processing, such as shaping and filling, smoother. For example, when making bread, fully proofed dough expands evenly during baking, forming a fine and uniform porous structure, giving the bread a good texture and chewiness. Currently, when proofing dough in a proofing room, it is not possible to automatically feed the dough, and the speed and flow rate of the dough during feeding cannot be adjusted.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0030] See Figures 1-8 As shown, this utility model provides a dough proofing device, including the proofing machine 5 including a proofing frame 501. The proofing frame provides a support structure for the proofing machine and fixes other components, such as a second chain drive mechanism and a feeding mechanism, to ensure the relative position of each component is stable and to maintain the overall operation of the equipment. Two parallel second chain drive mechanisms are provided in the proofing frame 501, which drive the proofing storage structure to move along a set track to realize the conveying of dough. Several proofing storage structures are evenly distributed between the two second chain drive mechanisms along their transmission direction. A discharge port is provided on the proofing frame 501, and a feeding mechanism is provided at the discharge port. When the second chain drive mechanism drives the proofing storage structure to move to the discharge port, the feeding mechanism can realize the flipping of the proofing storage structure to export the dough.

[0031] The second chain drive mechanism includes a plurality of second sprockets 502 rotatably disposed within the proofing frame 501. The second sprockets 502 are meshed with each other and connected by a second chain 503. The corresponding second sprockets 502 of the two second chain drive mechanisms are connected to each other by a drive shaft, and the end of one of the drive shafts is driven to rotate by a third motor 505 fixedly disposed on the proofing frame 501.

[0032] The proofing and storage structure includes two parallel bowl support rods 506, and several proofing bowls 504 are evenly distributed between the two bowl support rods 506. The ends of the two bowl support rods 506 are fixedly connected to each other by end plates 507. Each end plate 507 is provided with a T-shaped follower 508. The T-shaped follower 508 is rotatably connected to the second chain 503 through a hanging shaft 509.

[0033] The feeding mechanism includes a feeding frame 511 fixedly mounted on a proofing frame 501. A fixing strip 522 is fixedly mounted on the feeding frame 511. A first stop wheel 524, a second stop wheel 525, a third stop wheel 526, and a fourth stop wheel 527 are rotatably mounted on the fixing strip 522 along its length. When the proofing storage structure moves to the discharge port with the second chain 503, the stop wheels contact the T-shaped follower, changing the direction of movement of the T-shaped follower and realizing the flipping of the proofing bowl to pour out the dough. A stop box 510 is fixedly mounted on the fixing strip 522. A rotating shaft 523 is rotatably mounted on the stop box 510. One end of the rotating shaft 523 is provided with a limiting slide shaft 521. The stop box 510 has an arc-shaped opening for guiding the sliding of the limiting slide shaft 521. The guide groove 520 and the other end of the rotating shaft 523 are provided with a rotating rod 519 for rotating and resetting the T-shaped follower 508. When the second chain 503 drives the proofing and storage structure to the discharge port, the rotating rod 519, the first stop wheel 524, the second stop wheel 525, the third stop wheel 526 and the fourth stop wheel 527 can realize that the T-shaped follower 508 drives the proofing bowl 504 to flip up and down and reset. When the proofing and storage structure reaches the discharge port and completes the unloading, the rotating rod, under the constraint of the arc-shaped guide groove, rotates and resets the T-shaped follower, so that the proofing bowl returns to the initial position. Below the feeding mechanism, there is a feeding chute 515 that can receive the dough when the proofing bowl 504 is flipped. It is located below the feeding mechanism and is used to receive the dough poured out when the proofing bowl is flipped, to prevent the dough from scattering and to guide the dough into the subsequent device. Each feeding hopper 515 has two unloading claws 516 on its bottom side, and the feeding frame 511 is equipped with an opening and closing drive assembly that can drive the unloading claws 516 to open and close.

[0034] The opening and closing drive assembly includes two parallel opening and closing shafts 517. A first gear structure is provided between one end of the two opening and closing shafts 517. The first gear structure includes two meshing first gears 518. A deflecting rod 513 is fixedly connected to the other end of one of the opening and closing shafts 517. A first cylinder 512 for deflecting the deflecting rod 513 is provided on one side. A feeding conveyor 514 is provided below the unloading claw 516. The opening and closing drive assembly controls the opening and closing of the unloading claw 516, adjusts the dough falling speed and flow rate, and ensures that the dough falls smoothly onto the feeding conveyor.

[0035] Working principle:

[0036] Dough conveying: The third motor 505 drives the transmission shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the corresponding second sprockets 502 of the two second chain transmission mechanisms to rotate. The second chains 503, which are connected to the second sprockets 502 through meshing, move accordingly. The T-shaped driven member 508 of the proofing and storage structure is rotatably connected to the second chain 503 through the hanging shaft 509, so that the proofing and storage structure moves along the set track within the proofing frame 501 under the drive of the second chain 503, thereby realizing the conveying of dough.

[0037] Proofing and storage: The proofing and storage structure consists of two parallel bowl support rods 506, several proofing bowls 504 evenly distributed between the bowl support rods, and end plates 507 fixedly connected at the ends, and is used to store dough for proofing.

[0038] Discharge and Tilting: When the proofing and storage structure moves to the discharge port along with the second chain 503, the first stop wheel 524, the second stop wheel 525, the third stop wheel 526, and the fourth stop wheel 527, which are sequentially rotated on the fixing bar 522, come into contact with the T-shaped follower 508, changing the direction of movement of the T-shaped follower 508, thereby realizing the up-and-down flipping of the proofing bowl 504 and pouring out the dough. At the same time, the limiting slide shaft 521 at one end of the deflecting shaft 523 on the stop box 510 slides within the arc-shaped guide groove 520, and the deflecting rod 519 at the other end, after the proofing and storage structure reaches the discharge port and completes unloading, rotates and resets the T-shaped follower 508 under the constraint of the arc-shaped guide groove 520, so that the proofing bowl 504 returns to its initial position.

[0039] Dough receiving: The feeding hopper 515 below the feeding mechanism receives the dough poured out when the proofing bowl 504 is turned over, preventing the dough from scattering and guiding the dough into the subsequent device.

[0040] Unloading control: The first cylinder 512 of the opening and closing drive assembly drives the deflection rod 513 to deflect, which in turn drives the opening and closing shaft 517 fixedly connected to the deflection rod 513 to rotate. Through two meshing first gears 518, the two opening and closing shafts 517 rotate synchronously, controlling the opening and closing of the unloading claw 516, adjusting the dough falling speed and flow rate, so that the dough falls smoothly onto the unloading conveyor 514.

[0041] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
