Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pastry processing technology, specifically to an integrated device for kneading and proofing dough. Background Technology

[0002] Pasta refers to food made primarily from flour. Different types of pasta exist all over the world. In the production process, flour, water, and additives are added to a mixing tank and then mixed. Through proper mixing for a certain period of time, the gliadin and glutenin gradually absorb water and swell, binding together to form a continuous membrane matrix that cross-links and forms a three-dimensional gluten network structure with certain elasticity, extensibility, viscosity, and plasticity, allowing it to be further utilized by people.

[0003] However, existing dough mixing devices can only mix flour and water to form the required dough. After the dough is formed, it needs to be proofed. The traditional proofing method is to take the dough out of the dough mixing device and place it in the proofing device. This process requires taking the dough out and proofing, which increases the processing steps of the dough. Therefore, the efficiency of dough mixing and proofing needs to be further improved. So we need to propose a dough mixing and proofing integrated device. Utility Model Content

[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: an integrated device for kneading and proofing dough, comprising:

[0024] The base frame 1 and the dough mixing bucket 8 installed on the base frame 1 are provided with a lid 3 for sealing the dough mixing bucket 8. The base frame 1 is equipped with a lid opening and closing mechanism 2 for raising and lowering the lid 3. The lid opening and closing mechanism 2 is equipped with a stirring structure 5 located in the inner cavity of the dough mixing bucket 8. The stirring structure 5 stirs the flour and water in the dough mixing bucket 8.

[0025] The multi-stage feeding structure 4, located above the lid opening and closing mechanism 2, enables the precise addition of water or milk raw materials into the mixing bucket 8.

[0026] The lid opening and closing mechanism 2 includes a cylinder 21 set on one side of the base frame 1. The telescopic end of the cylinder 21 is provided with a connecting plate 22, and the connecting plate 22 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the lid 3. Two sets of insert rods 23 inserted into the base frame 1 are fixedly connected to one end of the lower surface of the connecting plate 22.

[0027] Specifically, the cylinder 21 drives the connecting plate 22 to rise and fall, thereby simultaneously raising and lowering the lid 3. The stability of the lid 3 is ensured by the action of the rod 23. A weighing sensor is set at the bottom of the dough mixing bucket 8 to weigh the flour and display the weight on the display screen on the controller 6 to improve the accuracy of the flour addition.

[0028] A sealing gasket is adhered to the lower surface of the lid 3, and the outer diameter of the lid 3 is the same as the outer diameter of the mixing bowl 8. The inner wall of the mixing bowl 8 is integrated with a heating film for dough proofing. The sealing gasket further improves the sealing performance of the lid 3 after it is closed. The sealing gasket is a food-grade silicone gasket, which creates a good environment for proofing. At the same time, the heating film shell directly and evenly heats the dough, shortening the natural proofing time and allowing for precise adjustment of the proofing temperature. The heating film is a graphene electric heating film, which is common knowledge in existing technology and will not be elaborated further.

[0029] The multi-stage feeding structure 4 includes a bottom beam 41 set on the upper surface of the connecting plate 22. Multiple sets of material cylinders 42 are installed on the upper surface of the bottom beam 41. Each set of material cylinders 42 has a feeding pipe 43 for feeding raw materials on one side. Each set of material cylinders 42 has a feeding pipe 44 connected to the dough mixing bucket 8 at the bottom. A solenoid valve 45 is installed on the feeding pipe 44. A metering pump is installed at one end of each feeding pipe 44 located inside the material cylinder 42.

[0030] It is worth noting that by using the metering pump and solenoid valve 45 together, the amount of water or milk added can be precisely controlled, avoiding the inaccuracies of traditional manual addition, thereby stabilizing the moisture ratio of the dough. The metering pump is electromagnetically driven, and its specific operating principle is common knowledge in existing technology, so it will not be elaborated further.

[0031] The stirring structure 5 includes a motor 51 mounted on the upper surface of the connecting plate 22 and a protective plate 53 located below the lid 3. The output shaft of the motor 51 is driven to a rotating shaft 52 fixed on the upper surface of the protective plate 53. A stirring element 54 is rotatably mounted on the protective plate 53. A scraper 55 for scraping the inner wall of the mixing bowl 8 is detachably connected to one end of the lower surface of the protective plate 53. The motor 51 is an adjustable speed motor, which can adjust the speed according to the forming of the dough. The scraper 55 is convenient for scraping the residual flour on the inner wall of the mixing bowl 8, avoiding excessive flour adhering to the inner wall of the mixing bowl 8. The scraper 55 is connected to the lower surface of the protective plate 53 by a snap-fit, which is convenient for disassembly and cleaning.

[0032] The mixing component 54 includes a vertical shaft 541 rotatably mounted on a protective disc 53. A gear 543 is mounted on the upper end of the vertical shaft 541. An internal gear ring 7 that meshes with the gear 543 is mounted on the lower surface of the lid 3. Multiple sets of mixing rods 542 are mounted on the outer side of the lower end of the vertical shaft 541. The inner wall of the internal gear ring 7 is provided with teeth that mesh with the gear 543. This facilitates the rotation of the protective disc 53 to drive the vertical shaft 541 to rotate in a circular motion. The gear 543 meshes with the internal gear ring 7 to drive the vertical shaft 541 to assemble, increasing the mixing range of the mixing component 54 and thus improving the kneading effect on the dough. At the same time, the protective disc 53 can protect the internal gear ring 7, preventing flour from sticking to the teeth and improving adaptability.

[0033] A controller 6 is installed on the outside of the dough mixing bowl 8. A temperature sensor and a humidifying element are electrically connected to the controller 6 inside the dough mixing bowl 8. The controller 6 monitors and adjusts the proofing environment in real time through the temperature sensor and the humidifying element. The heating film can control the temperature at 30-40℃, and the humidifying element can maintain the humidity at 70%-85%, providing the best proofing conditions for the dough. The humidifying element is an ultrasonic humidifier, and its specific principle is common knowledge in the existing technology. It can be directly installed and used by purchasing, and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] In use, the cylinder 21 of the lid opening and closing mechanism 2 drives the lid 3 to rise, and the flour raw materials are put into the mixing bucket 8. Then, the cylinder 21 drives the lid 3 to fall, and the sealing gasket makes the lid 3 fit tightly with the mixing bucket 8 to achieve a seal. Next, the feed cylinder 42 of the multi-stage feeding structure 4 accurately adds water, milk and other raw materials into the mixing bucket 8 through the metering pump and solenoid valve 45 on the feed pipe 44. The amount of raw materials added is controlled by the metering pump. After that, the motor 51 of the stirring structure 5 starts, driving the protective plate 53 on the rotating shaft 52 to rotate. The stirring component 54 on the protective plate 53 rotates and revolves simultaneously under the meshing action of the gear 543 and the internal gear ring 7, which fully mixes and kneads the raw materials. The scraper 55 cleans the residual raw materials on the inner wall of the mixing bucket 8 at the same time. After the kneading is completed, the heating film on the inner wall of the mixing bucket 8 is activated. Combined with the temperature sensor, humidification element and controller 6, the temperature and humidity inside the bucket are accurately controlled to provide a suitable proofing environment for the dough and complete the proofing process.

[0035] 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 these 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.
