Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of baking technology, and in particular to a stepped fermentation device for steamed buns. Background Technology
[0002] Mantou is a traditional Chinese staple food, made by steaming fermented dough. Mantou is mainly made from wheat flour. The common method for making mantou is to mix flour, dry yeast, and water to form a dough, let it rise and ferment for a period of time, and then shape it into mantou.
[0003] For most existing steamed buns, a stepped fermentation device is usually used for fermentation. Although some of the existing stepped steamed bun fermentation devices are convenient to use, the device is usually placed on one side. This not only causes the upper and lower layers to be in close contact, which can lead to burns to the operator when picking up or placing the buns, but also results in low efficiency because the placement of the buns can only be done by one person due to the limited space. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to solve the problems raised in the background art.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution: a stepped fermentation device for steamed buns, including a fermentation box 1, a fermentation trough 2 on the surface of the fermentation box 1, and a first fermentation plate 3 and a second fermentation plate 4 slidably installed on the inner wall of the fermentation trough 2. The first fermentation plate 3 and the second fermentation plate 4 are respectively set on the rear and right sides of the fermentation box 1. The first fermentation plate 3 and the second fermentation plate 4 are staggered vertically on the inner side of the fermentation box 1. By staggering the first fermentation plate 3 and the second fermentation plate 4 on the fermentation box 1 and setting them on different sides, it is ensured that the operator can control the feeding and dispensing of materials simultaneously, thereby improving the efficiency of the steamed bun fermentation operation of the first fermentation plate 3 and the second fermentation plate 4.
[0030] Furthermore, an auxiliary handle 5 is fixedly installed on the surface of the second fermentation plate 4, and a resistance pad 6 is glued to the upper side of the second fermentation plate 4. The surface of the resistance pad 6 is a combination of inclined and rectangular surfaces. The structures on the first fermentation plate 3 and the second fermentation plate 4 are the same. The auxiliary handle 5 is set on the second fermentation plate 4 to facilitate the picking and placing of the second fermentation plate 4, while the inclined resistance pad 6 is to ensure the friction positioning effect after docking with the fermentation box 1.
[0031] Furthermore, a limiting rod 7 is slidably installed on the inner side of the second fermentation plate 4, and the end of the limiting rod 7 away from the second fermentation plate 4 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the fermentation chamber 1 (the limiting rod 7 is in...). Figure 2 (The diagram shown is an unfolded view). By setting a limiting support rod 7 inside the fermentation chamber 1, the second fermentation plate 4 can be stably limited when it moves.
[0032] Furthermore, a placement groove 8 is provided on the inner side of the second fermentation plate 4. The placement groove 8 on the second fermentation plate 4 is U-shaped. A ventilation groove 9 is provided on the surface of the second fermentation plate 4, which is connected to the placement groove 8. A steamed bun box 10 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the placement groove 8 on the second fermentation plate 4. An auxiliary groove 11 is provided on the surface of the steamed bun box 10. When it is necessary to put or take out the fermented steamed buns, the operator only needs to slide the second fermentation plate 4 out of the inner wall of the fermentation box 2, and then place the steamed bun box 10 with the steamed buns on the inner wall of the placement groove 8. The U-shaped shape of the placement groove 8 ensures the stability of the steamed bun box 10. The auxiliary groove 11 on the steamed bun box 10 helps the operator control the movement of the steamed bun box 10, improving the disadvantage of the traditional flat steamed bun box 10 having no limiting points and thus falling off.
[0033] Furthermore, an electric heating plate 12 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the fermentation box 1. The electric heating plate 12 is in a group of two, one above the other, and the two electric heating plates 12 are located on the upper and lower sides of the fermentation box 1. By setting electric heating plates 12 on both the upper and lower sides of the second fermentation plate 4, the steamed buns on the steamer box 10 inside the second fermentation plate 4 can be heated synchronously from top to bottom when fermenting, thereby ensuring the efficiency and uniformity of the steamed bun fermentation.
[0034] Furthermore, an electric heating rod 13 is electrically connected to the surface of the heating plate 12, a barrier plate 14 is fixedly installed on the surface of the fermentation chamber 1, and a control box 15 is fixedly installed on the surface of the barrier plate 14. The control unit of the control box 15 is electrically connected to the electric heating rod 13. The heating plate 12, the electric heating rod 13 and the control box 15 are all existing structures and are existing mature technologies, which will not be described in detail here. By starting the control box 15, the electric heat can be conducted to the heating plate 12 through the electric heating rod 13 for heating.
[0035] Furthermore, the upper part of the inner side of the fermentation chamber 1 is inverted V-shaped, and the lower part of the inner side of the fermentation chamber 1 is inclined. A drain branch pipe 16 is fixedly installed on the surface of the fermentation chamber 1. When the hot air inside the fermentation chamber 1 condenses at the top, the inclined surface inside the fermentation chamber 1 allows the condensed water droplets to move and flow in a directional manner, thus enabling the water droplets to reach the bottom of the fermentation chamber 1 and be discharged to the drain branch pipe 16 for treatment. This improves the cleanliness inside the fermentation chamber 1. The second fermentation plate 4 further facilitates the fermentation process inside the fermentation chamber 1. The tiered placement, along with the stepped and multi-faceted arrangement, greatly improves the ease of operation of the second fermentation plate 4 in the fermentation chamber 1. This overcomes the drawback of traditional fermentation chamber 1, which uses a single-sided setting and cannot be operated by multiple people simultaneously. Consequently, it enhances the overall operational flexibility of the fermentation chamber 1 and the efficiency of controlling the operation of the second fermentation plate 4. Furthermore, by using the steamer 10 to handle the second fermentation plate 4, it avoids the drawback of operators needing to put their hands into the hot steam, which could easily cause burns inside the fermentation chamber 1, thus improving the safety of the operators.
[0036] Furthermore, a transparent plate 17 is fixedly installed on the surface of the fermentation box 1. The transparent plate 17 is transparent, and the fermenting steamed buns inside the fermentation box 1 can be observed in real time through the transparent plate 17.
[0037] Working principle: A stepped fermentation device for steamed buns. When started by the control box 15, the electric heat is conducted to the electric heating plate 12 through the electric heating rod 13 for heating. When feeding or taking out the fermented steamed buns, the operator only needs to slide the second fermentation plate 4 out of the inner wall of the fermentation box trough 2, and then place the steamed bun steamer 10 with the steamed buns on the inner wall of the placement groove 8.
[0038] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
