Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Bread is a food made by grinding grains into flour and heating it. It is usually made primarily from wheat flour, with yeast, eggs, oil, sugar, and salt as auxiliary ingredients. Water is added to make the dough, which is then shaped, fermented, and baked. To ensure the quality of bread, tools are needed to fully ferment the bread dough.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent for a bread-making dough fermentation device, publication number CN221265041U, which includes a water tank, a pump body, a conveying pipe, and a door. The pump body is installed at the bottom of the water tank, and the conveying pipe is installed at the bottom of the pump body. An atomizing nozzle is installed on one side of the conveying pipe, and a box body is connected to the bottom of the water tank.

[0004] The device activates the pump to evenly distribute water from the tank onto the top of each tray through atomizing nozzles, ensuring that the fabric inside the box is evenly exposed to water and can ferment evenly. When the temperature is too high, the exhaust valve is opened to expel the hot air through the exhaust hole, quickly regulating the temperature inside the box.

[0005] However, placing the bread directly on the tray, which is fixed in position within the box, makes it difficult to adjust according to the fermentation needs of the dough, resulting in poor flexibility. Furthermore, the water from the upper tray drips directly onto the lower tray without any drainage measures, which may cause the bottom dough to be covered with too much water, affecting the evenness of humidification. Additionally, since the water collection tank is located inside the fermentation box, excessive water flow may affect the subsequent fermentation results. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bread-making dough fermentation device that can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] This invention features a connecting plate, support frame, tray, mounting plate, and insert rod that work together to allow for adjustment of the distance between each tray during fermentation, based on the dough size. This prevents the dough from contacting other trays after fermentation, offering high flexibility and allowing for adjustments based on fermentation needs.

[0018] By setting up a drainage hose, a drain net, a drainage box, and a support frame in conjunction with a tray, excess water will not be collected in the fermentation cabinet for a long time after spraying water for humidification, so as to prevent it from affecting the fermentation of the dough. In addition, the water will not fall directly downwards, avoiding excessive water flow onto the bottom dough, which facilitates the improvement of humidification uniformity.

[0024] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Combination Figures 1-4 A bread-making dough fermentation device includes a fermentation cabinet 1, a sealed cabinet door 2 movably installed at the front end of the fermentation cabinet 1, heating plates 3 on both sides of the fermentation cabinet 1, and several trays 4 and support frames 5 inside the fermentation cabinet 1.

[0027] See Figure 2 and Figure 3Furthermore, the bottom of the tray 4 is fixedly connected to the two sides with sliders, and the top of the support frame 5 is provided with a sliding groove. The tray 4 is movably installed on the top of the support frame 5 through the sliders and the sliding groove. The bottom of the support frame 5 is fixedly connected to the two sides with the connecting plate 6. The two sides of the mounting plate 7 are movably installed with insert rods 8 at the front end. The inner wall of the fermentation cabinet 1 is provided with several mounting holes 10 that are compatible with the insert rods 8. The inside of the mounting plate 7 is provided with an adjustment groove that is compatible with the insert rods 8. An anti-detachment spring 9 is provided around the outer ring of the insert rod 8 and located in the adjustment groove. One end of the anti-detachment spring 9 abuts against the inner wall of the adjustment groove, and the other end abuts against the insert rod 8 through the ring plate. The end of the insert rod 8 away from the mounting hole 10 is provided with a pull ring. The sealed cabinet door 2 is provided with a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor that are compatible with the fermentation cabinet 1. An exhaust pump is installed at the rear end of the fermentation cabinet 1. The inside of the fermentation cabinet 1 is provided with several exhaust holes 18, and the exhaust holes 18 are connected to the exhaust pump's air intake.

[0028] Specifically, when it is necessary to adjust the installation position of each tray 4 according to the size of the dough, the insert rod 8 can be pulled out away from the installation socket 10. After the insert rod 8 is removed from the installation socket 10, the fixing of the mounting plate 7 can be made. Since the tray 4 is installed on the support frame 5 through multiple parts, and the mounting plate 7 is installed below the support frame 5, the fixing of the support frame 5 can be released. Then, the personnel can lift the support frame 5 and move it in the fermentation cabinet 1. After the support frame 5 is adjusted to a suitable position, the insert rod 8 can be inserted into the appropriate installation socket 10 again for fixing. The return spring force of the anti-detachment spring 9 ensures that the insert rod 8 will not detach from the installation socket 10. Then, the tray 4 can be installed on the support frame 5 to complete the adjustment process. Subsequently, the personnel can place the dough to be fermented on the tray 4 for fermentation. After adjustment, the appropriate number of support frames 5 can be selected for installation as needed. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the tray 4 is below the humidification nozzle 17 for water spraying and humidification.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] See Figure 2 and Figure 4Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, a diversion box 12 adapted to the tray 4 is provided at the rear top of the support frame 5. A drain net 11 is provided at the upper part of the inside of the diversion box 12. A diversion hose 13 is connected to the bottom of the diversion box 12. A collection box 14 is provided at the lower part of the inside of the fermentation cabinet 1. The end of the diversion hose 13 away from the diversion box 12 is connected to the water inlet of the collection box 14. A drain pipe 15 is connected to the drain outlet of the collection box 14. The end of the drain pipe 15 away from the collection box 14 extends into the inside of the fermentation cabinet 1, and the drain pipe 15 extends... A drain valve is provided at one end of the fermentation cabinet 1. Handles are provided on both sides of the top of the tray 4. The top surface of the tray 4 is inclined and the end away from the drainage box 12 is raised. The surfaces of the tray 4 and the support frame 5 are coated with a hydrophobic coating. A humidifying water tank 16 is provided at the top of the fermentation cabinet 1. A humidifying nozzle 17 is provided inside the fermentation cabinet 1 and above each tray 4. A humidifying pump is provided inside the humidifying water tank 16. The outlet of the humidifying pump is connected to a water supply pipe. The end of the water supply pipe away from the humidifying water tank 16 is connected to the water inlet of several humidifying nozzles 17.

[0031] Specifically, when humidifying the fermenting dough on tray 4, the humidification pump in the humidification tank 16 is activated to deliver water from the humidification tank 16 to the humidification nozzle 17. Since the humidification nozzle 17 is located above tray 4, it can humidify the dough on tray 4. At the same time, tray 4 is tilted, and the end away from the drainage box 12 is raised. When excess water remains on tray 4, it can be guided to the drainage box 12 through tray 4. Then, the water is guided into the collection box 14 through the drainage hose 13. Later, the drain valve at the drain pipe 15 can be opened to drain the water. During the drainage process, excess water will not drip from top to bottom, so that the dough at the bottom of tray 4 will not get too wet, thereby improving the uniformity of humidification and reducing the impact of high humidity on the humidification effect.

[0032] In actual operation, when it is necessary to adjust the installation position of each tray 4 according to the size of the dough, the insertion rod 8 can be pulled out in the direction away from the installation hole 10. After the insertion rod 8 is removed from the installation hole 10, the fixing of the mounting plate 7 can be contacted. Since the tray 4 is installed on the support frame 5 through multiple parts, and the mounting plate 7 is installed below the support frame 5, the fixing of the support frame 5 can be released. Then, the personnel can lift the support frame 5 and move it in the fermentation cabinet 1. After the support frame 5 is adjusted to a suitable position, the insertion rod 8 can be inserted into the appropriate installation hole 10 again for fixing. The return spring force of the anti-detachment spring 9 ensures that the insertion rod 8 will not detach from the installation hole 10.

[0033] Afterwards, tray 4 can be installed on support frame 5 to complete the adjustment process. Subsequent personnel can place the dough to be fermented on tray 4 for fermentation. After adjustment, an appropriate number of support frames 5 can be selected and installed as needed. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that tray 4 is below the humidifying nozzle 17 so as to spray water for humidification.

[0034] When the dough fermenting on tray 4 is humidified, the water in the humidification tank 16 can be transported to the humidification nozzle 17 by activating the humidification pump at the humidification tank 16. Since the humidification nozzle 17 is located above the tray 4, the dough on the tray 4 can be humidified.

[0035] Meanwhile, tray 4 is tilted, with the end away from the drainage box 12 tilted up. When excess water remains on tray 4, it can be guided to the drainage box 12 through tray 4. Then, the water is guided into the collection box 14 through the drainage hose 13. Afterward, the drain valve at the drain pipe 15 can be opened to drain the water. During the drainage process, excess water will not drip from top to bottom, so that the fabric at the bottom tray 4 will not get too wet, thereby improving the uniformity of humidification and reducing the impact of high humidity on the humidification effect.

[0036] Furthermore, the control components and modules used in the aforementioned humidification pump, temperature sensor, humidity sensor, and exhaust pump are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. The content protected by this utility model does not involve any improvement to the software and methods.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
