Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hamburger bun making technology, and in particular to a hamburger bun fermentation and kneading device. Background Technology
[0002] In the industrial production of hamburger buns, the kneading process plays an important role in the quality of the buns. Thorough kneading can strengthen the gluten network structure of the dough, giving it good extensibility and toughness, allowing the buns to maintain a stable shape during fermentation, and making them soft and elastic after baking.
[0003] In related technologies, traditional kneading often involves manually kneading the dough, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Automated hamburger bun fermentation and kneading devices are equipped with kneading hammers to knead the dough, which helps reduce labor costs. However, the kneading hammers cause the dough to spread out, and to continuously knead the dough, the spread dough needs to be gathered back into a ball, resulting in poor kneading efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a fermentation and kneading device for hamburger buns to help improve kneading efficiency.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:
[0006] A hamburger dough fermentation and kneading device includes a base, a cylinder that can rotate along a rotation axis on the base, a rotating plate located on one side of the rotation axis, and kneading hooks extending into the cylinder on the rotating plate; a driving member is provided between the rotating plate and the base; driving the driving member can rotate the cylinder and enable the kneading hooks to grab and turn the hamburger dough inside the cylinder.
[0007] Furthermore, a large arm is provided on the base, and the large arm is capable of moving along the extension direction of the rotation axis; the drive component is connected to the large arm; the movement of the large arm away from the base can cause the kneading hook and the drive component to disengage from the cylinder.
[0008] Furthermore, a convex shaft is provided on the base, and a groove is formed on the bottom plate of the cylinder, into which the convex shaft is inserted.
[0009] Furthermore, magnets are provided on the top of the convex shaft and the top wall of the groove, and the magnetic poles of the two magnets are the same at the ends that are close to each other; the repulsion between the two magnets enables the gap between the cylinders to be set on the base.
[0010] Furthermore, the head end of the kneading hook is eccentrically connected to the rotating plate.
[0011] Furthermore, the driving component includes: a motor fixed to the boom, a drive roller capable of abutting against the outer wall of the cylinder, and a transmission component connecting the output shaft of the motor and the drive roller; the output shaft of the motor is coaxially connected to the rotating plate; driving the output shaft of the motor to rotate enables the cylinder and the rotating plate to rotate.
[0012] Furthermore, the transmission component includes: a drive sprocket coaxially fixed to the output shaft of the motor, a connecting shaft coaxially fixed to the drive roller, a driven sprocket coaxially fixed to the connecting shaft, and a chain meshing with the drive sprocket and the driven sprocket.
[0013] Furthermore, the boom is connected to an anti-sway part, which includes: an anti-sway arm fixedly connected to the boom and extending from both sides of the boom along the circumference of the cylinder, and a driven roller rotatably connected to both ends of the anti-sway arm and abutting against the outer wall of the cylinder.
[0014] Furthermore, a telescopic part is provided between the upper arm and the base, and driving the telescopic part enables the upper arm to slide along the extension direction of the rotation axis.
[0015] Furthermore, the telescopic part is a cylinder.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:
[0017] (1) The hamburger dough fermentation and kneading device of this utility model drives the driving component when kneading the dough. Under the action of the driving component, the cylinder rotates along the rotation axis and drives the kneading hook on the rotating plate to rotate. When the kneading hook and the cylinder rotate, the dough is stretched and folded, so that the dough is subjected to force in both the longitudinal and transverse directions. At the same time, the cylinder and the kneading hook work together to knead the dough. When the dough achieves the same kneading effect, the rotation speed of the kneading hook can be reduced, thereby reducing frictional heat generation and helping to avoid uneven fermentation caused by local overheating of the dough. At the same time, there is no need to repeatedly gather the dough into a ball, which helps to improve kneading efficiency and improve the uniformity of dough fermentation.
[0018] (2) The uneven gap between the eccentrically rotating kneading hook and the inner wall of the cylinder causes the hamburger buns to be squeezed and stretched as they pass through a narrower gap, which helps to accelerate the formation of the gluten network in the hamburger buns. At the same time, because the cylinder itself also rotates, when the gap between the kneading hook and the inner wall of the cylinder is smaller, it helps to scrape off the dough on the inner wall of the cylinder, reducing the sticking of the hamburger bun dough to the inner wall of the cylinder. At the same time, the eccentric rotation of the kneading hook helps to slam the hamburger bun dough against the inner wall of the cylinder, increasing the contact between the hamburger bun dough and the air, thereby allowing the yeast to ferment more fully and making the final hamburger buns softer.
[0019] (3) After the hamburger buns are kneaded, the control arm moves upward along the extension direction of the rotation axis, so that the arm drives the kneading hook to detach from the cylinder and the drive unit is separated from the cylinder, so that the kneaded dough can be taken out of the cylinder.
[0020] (4) By utilizing the principle of repulsion between like poles of magnets, the top of the convex shaft is spaced between the top wall of the groove, thereby lifting the cylinder. This helps the cylinder to tend to detach from the base, reducing the friction between the cylinder and the base, which is conducive to the rotation of the cylinder.
[0021] (5) The transmission components include a drive sprocket, a driven sprocket, and a chain, which work together with the drive roller to make the rotation direction of the rotating plate opposite to that of the cylinder. Therefore, under the condition that the kneading effect of the hamburger dough is certain, this setting helps to reduce the speed of the motor, thereby reducing the friction and wear between the cylinder and the base, and between the cylinder and the drive roller. At the same time, it reduces the number of power sources and improves the power utilization rate. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The present invention will now be described in detail through exemplary embodiments. However, it should be understood that, without further description, elements, structures, and features in one embodiment may be advantageously incorporated into other embodiments.
[0035] This utility model provides a hamburger dough fermentation and kneading device.
[0036] In existing technologies, traditional kneading methods mostly involve manually kneading the dough, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Automated hamburger bun fermentation and kneading devices are equipped with kneading hammers to knead the dough, which helps reduce labor costs. However, the kneading hammers cause the dough to spread out, and to continuously knead the dough, the spread dough needs to be gathered back into a ball, resulting in poor kneading efficiency.
[0037] In view of this, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the hamburger dough fermentation and kneading device in this embodiment combines... Figures 1 to 3 In terms of overall design, the hamburger dough fermentation and kneading device includes a base 1, a cylinder 2 that can rotate along the rotation axis x on the base 1, a rotating plate 3 located on one side of the rotation axis x, and kneading hooks 4 extending into the cylinder 2 on the rotating plate 3; a driving component 5 is provided between the rotating plate 3 and the base 1; driving the driving component 5 can make the cylinder 2 rotate and can make the kneading hooks 4 grab and turn the hamburger dough inside the cylinder 2.
[0038] With the above setup, when kneading the dough, the drive component 5 is activated. Under the action of the drive component 5, the cylinder 2 rotates along the rotation axis x, which in turn drives the kneading hooks 4 on the rotating plate 3 to rotate. As the kneading hooks 4 and the cylinder 2 rotate, the dough is stretched and folded, allowing the dough to be subjected to force simultaneously in both the longitudinal and transverse directions. Simultaneously, the cylinder 2 and the kneading hooks 4 work together to knead the dough. While achieving the same kneading effect, the rotational speed of the kneading hooks 4 can be reduced, thereby reducing frictional heat generation and helping to avoid uneven fermentation caused by localized overheating of the dough. Furthermore, there is no need to repeatedly clump the dough together, which helps to improve kneading efficiency and the uniformity of dough fermentation.
[0039] In order to help the kneading hook 4 grasp and turn the dough, in this embodiment, as an optional implementation of the kneading hook 4, the kneading hook 4 is a spiral rod structure. The top end of the kneading hook 4 is connected to the rotating plate 3, and the end of the kneading hook 4 extends to the bottom of the cylinder 2, so as to make it easier to grasp and turn the dough.
[0040] Based on the above overview, combined with Figure 3 Preferably, the kneading hook 4 is eccentrically connected to the rotating plate 3. With this configuration, the gap between the eccentrically rotating kneading hook 4 and the inner wall of the cylinder 2 is uneven. When the hamburger bun passes through a narrower gap, it is squeezed and stretched, which helps to accelerate the formation of the gluten network in the hamburger bun dough. Simultaneously, since the cylinder 2 itself also rotates, when the gap between the kneading hook 4 and the inner wall of the cylinder 2 is smaller, it helps to scrape off the dough from the inner wall of the cylinder 2, reducing the adhesion of the hamburger bun dough to the inner wall of the cylinder 2. At the same time, the eccentric rotation of the kneading hook 4 helps to slam the hamburger bun dough against the inner wall of the cylinder 2, increasing the contact between the hamburger bun dough and air, thereby allowing for more complete yeast fermentation and resulting in a softer texture in the final hamburger bun.
[0041] Based on the above general introduction, specifically, the base 1 is provided with a large arm 101, which can move along the rotation axis x in the extension direction; the drive component 5 is connected to the large arm 101; the movement of the large arm 101 away from the base 1 can cause the kneading hook 4 and the drive component 5 to disengage from the cylinder 2.
[0042] With the above settings, after the kneading of the hamburger buns is completed, the control arm 101 moves upward along the extension direction of the rotation axis x, so that the arm 101 drives the kneading hook 4 to disengage from the cylinder 2, and the drive component 5 disengages from the cylinder 2, thus making it easier to remove the kneaded dough from the cylinder 2.
[0043] As an optional configuration for the boom 101 to move along the x-axis of rotation, combined with Figure 3 In detail, a telescopic part 8 is provided between the boom 101 and the base 1. Driving the telescopic part 8 allows the boom 101 to slide along the extension direction of the rotation axis x. Specifically, in this embodiment, the telescopic part 8 is a cylinder. That is, the cylinder body is connected to the base 1, the piston rod of the cylinder is connected to the boom 101, and the extension direction of the cylinder piston rod is the same as the extension direction of the rotation axis x.
[0044] Understandably, the base 1 has a cavity to accommodate the main arm 101, and the tail end of the main arm 101 can be slidably inserted into the cavity of the base 1. This arrangement helps to reduce the space occupied by the hamburger dough fermentation and kneading device after the main arm 101 shrinks. At the same time, the main arm 101 has a cavity to accommodate the cylinder, which helps to utilize a smaller space between the main arm 101 and the base 1 to install a cylinder with a piston rod stroke not less than the axis length of the kneading hook 4.
[0045] To further improve the stability of the cylinder 2 when it rotates along the rotation axis x on the base 1, combined with Figures 2 to 4 A convex shaft 102 is provided on the base 1, and a groove 201 is formed on the bottom plate of the cylinder 2, into which the convex shaft 102 is inserted. This arrangement helps to improve the stability of the cylinder 2 when it rotates along the rotation axis x, and helps to reduce the occurrence of tilting of the cylinder 2 when the hamburger dough comes into contact with the inner wall of the cylinder 2.
[0046] Based on the setting of the convex shaft 102, it is worth noting that in order to reduce the friction between the cylinder 2 and the base 1, magnets 6 are provided on the top of the convex shaft 102 and the top wall of the groove 201. The magnetic poles of the two magnets 6 are the same at the ends that are close to each other. The repulsion between the two magnets 6 can make the cylinder 2 be set on the base 1 with a gap.
[0047] As set up above, by utilizing the principle of like poles repulsion of magnets 6, the top end of the convex shaft 102 is spaced at the top wall of the groove 201, thereby lifting the cylinder 2. This helps the cylinder 2 to have an upward tendency to detach from the base 1. The gap between the cylinder 2 and the base 1 is set to reduce the friction between the cylinder 2 and the base 1, which is conducive to the rotation of the cylinder 2.
[0048] It is worth noting that, in order to further reduce the possibility of cylinder 2 shaking, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 An anti-sway part 7 is connected to the boom 101. The anti-sway part 7 includes anti-sway arms 701 fixed to the boom 101 and extending circumferentially from both sides of the boom 101 along the cylinder 2, and driven rollers 702 rotatably connected to both ends of the anti-sway arms 701 and abutting against the outer wall of the cylinder 2. In this way, by providing anti-sway arms 701 circumferentially to the cylinder 2, the swaying of the cylinder 2 is reduced, allowing the cylinder 2 to rotate along the rotation axis x. By providing driven rollers 702, friction between the driven rollers and the cylinder 2 is reduced, thus reducing wear on the cylinder 2.
[0049] As an optional implementation of the driving component 5, in this embodiment, specifically, in combination with Figure 2 and Figure 3 The driving component 5 includes a motor 501 fixed to the boom 101, a drive roller 502 that can abut against the outer wall of the cylinder 2, and a transmission component 503 that connects the output shaft of the motor 501 and the drive roller 502; the output shaft of the motor 501 is coaxially connected to the rotating plate 3; the rotation of the output shaft of the driving motor 501 can cause the cylinder 2 and the rotating plate 3 to rotate.
[0050] As a specific configuration of the transmission component 503, the transmission component 503 includes: a drive sprocket 5031 coaxially fixed to the output shaft of the motor 501, a connecting shaft 5032 coaxially fixed to the drive roller 502, a driven sprocket 5033 coaxially fixed to the connecting shaft 5032, and a chain 5034 meshing with the drive sprocket 5031 and the driven sprocket 5033.
[0051] With the above settings, when the driving component 5 is driven to rotate the kneading hook 4 and the cylinder 2, the motor 501 is started. The output shaft of the motor 501 drives the rotating plate 3 to rotate, thereby enabling the kneading hook 4 to rotate and knead the hamburger bun. Simultaneously, the rotation of the output shaft of the motor 501 drives the drive sprocket 5031 to rotate. Under the transmission of the chain 5034 and the driven sprocket 5033, the connecting shaft 5032 and the drive roller 502 are driven to rotate. Since the drive roller 502 presses against the outer wall of the cylinder 2, it is able to drive the cylinder 2 to rotate.
[0052] Furthermore, the transmission component 503 includes a drive sprocket 5031, a driven sprocket 5033, and a chain 5034, which work together with the drive roller 502 to ensure that the rotation direction of the rotating plate 3 is opposite to that of the cylinder 2. Therefore, under the condition of achieving a certain kneading effect on the hamburger dough, this configuration helps to reduce the speed of the motor 501, thereby reducing friction and wear between the cylinder 2 and the base 1, and between the cylinder 2 and the drive roller 502. It also reduces the number of power sources required, improving power utilization.
[0053] In this embodiment of the hamburger dough fermentation and kneading device, the driving component 5 is activated during dough kneading. Under the action of the driving component 5, the cylinder 2 rotates along the rotation axis x, which in turn drives the kneading hooks 4 on the rotating plate 3 to rotate. As the kneading hooks 4 and the cylinder 2 rotate, the dough is stretched and folded, allowing the dough to be subjected to force simultaneously in both the longitudinal and transverse directions. Simultaneously, the cylinder 2 and the kneading hooks 4 work together to achieve the same kneading effect. This reduces the rotational speed of the kneading hooks 4, thereby reducing frictional heat generation and helping to avoid uneven fermentation caused by localized overheating of the dough. Furthermore, it eliminates the need to repeatedly clump the dough together, thus improving kneading efficiency and the uniformity of dough fermentation.
[0054] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. The technical features or structures in the foregoing different embodiments can be arbitrarily combined to form other specific technical solutions as needed. For those skilled in the art, this utility model can have various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
