Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of biscuit production technology, and more specifically, it relates to a biscuit production device with real-time monitoring. Background Technology

[0002] Yeast-based chewy biscuits include categories such as biscuits, cookies, and soda crackers. They have a crumbly or crisp texture and are mostly made with wheat flour, sugar, oil, and other ingredients. The process involves mixing the flour, fermenting, shaping, and baking. In existing continuous fermentation equipment for chewy biscuit production, the flour and yeast are first mixed together, and then the mixed dough is left to ferment until it expands.

[0003] In the biscuit manufacturing industry, insufficient dough fermentation will result in hard biscuits, while excessive dough fermentation will result in excessive sourness, affecting the taste. Therefore, the dough fermentation process is a key factor affecting the taste, texture, and production efficiency of the finished biscuits.

[0004] However, in traditional production processes, the fermentation of dough usually relies on manual observation of the dough's expansion at regular intervals to confirm whether the fermentation has met the process requirements. This makes the fermentation of dough require a lot of mental effort and labor intensity, thus reducing the practicality of biscuit production equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] In traditional production processes, the fermentation of dough usually relies on manual observation of the dough's expansion at regular intervals to confirm whether the fermentation has met the process requirements. However, this requires a lot of mental effort and labor intensity, thus reducing the practicality of biscuit production equipment. This invention proposes a real-time monitoring biscuit production device to overcome the aforementioned technical problems existing in related technologies.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model is a real-time monitoring biscuit production device, including a base, a fermentation tank fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base, and a lid slidably disposed on the fermentation tank;

[0008] A dough mixing mechanism is fixedly installed on the lid, and the dough mixing mechanism is used to mix and blend the raw materials for biscuit production;

[0009] A monitoring mechanism is slidably mounted on the lid, and the monitoring mechanism is used to monitor the fermentation status of the yeast;

[0010] A lifting mechanism is fixedly installed on the base, and the upper side of the lifting mechanism is fixedly connected to the cover. The lifting mechanism is used to drive the cover to move up and down.

[0011] Furthermore, the monitoring mechanism includes a sliding groove, which is formed on the upper surface of the cover and extends out of the lower surface of the cover. A connecting rod is slidably sleeved inside the cover. A limiting plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting rod. Multiple positioning grooves are formed on the outer surfaces of both the left and right sides of the connecting rod. A threaded hole is formed on the lower surface of the connecting rod.

[0012] Furthermore, the monitoring mechanism also includes a fixed platform, on the upper surface of which a threaded rod is fixedly connected, the threaded rod being threadedly connected to a threaded hole, and a pressure sensor is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the fixed platform. Support grooves are provided on the inner walls of both sides of the sliding groove, and positioning blocks are slidably connected in the support grooves. An audible and visual alarm is fixedly installed on the cover.

[0013] Furthermore, the monitoring mechanism also includes two second springs, which are fixedly connected to the opposite outer surfaces of the two positioning blocks. The opposite ends of the two second springs are fixedly connected to the opposite inner walls of the two support grooves. The upper surface of the positioning block is provided with the slide rail groove, and the two slide rail grooves are mirror images of each other. The adjacent outer surfaces of the two positioning blocks slide into the corresponding two positioning grooves.

[0014] Furthermore, the monitoring mechanism also includes a support frame, which is sleeved on the connecting rod. Two push rods are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the support frame.

[0017] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] This invention utilizes the principle that dough expands during fermentation in a fermentation tank, increasing its volume. When the dough reaches a suitable volume, it comes into contact with a pressure sensor, applying slight pressure. This triggers the pressure sensor, which transmits a signal to a controller. The controller then activates an audible and visual alarm to alert workers that fermentation is complete. This eliminates the need for constant manual observation and allows for real-time monitoring, making the process more labor-saving and convenient, thus increasing the practicality of the biscuit production equipment.

[0019] This invention uses a stirring rod to rotate inside the fermentation tank to agitate the raw materials for biscuit production, thereby mixing the raw materials into dough. This eliminates the need for manual kneading, making it more labor-saving and efficient, and thus improving the practicality of the biscuit production equipment.

[0020] This invention, by adjusting the height of the pressure sensor, can be applied to the fermentation of dough of different weights, thereby increasing the practicality and flexibility of the biscuit production device.

[0032] The technical solutions of the utility model embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0033] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "top", "middle", "inner", etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the utility model.

[0034] Please see Figures 1-7 As shown, this utility model is a real-time monitoring biscuit production device, including a base 1, a fermentation tank 2 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base 1, and a lid 4 slidably disposed on the fermentation tank 2.

[0035] A dough mixing mechanism is fixedly installed on the lid 4, which is used to mix and blend the raw materials for biscuit production.

[0036] A monitoring mechanism is slidably mounted on the lid 4, and the monitoring mechanism is used to monitor the fermentation status of the yeast;

[0037] A lifting mechanism is fixedly installed on the base 1. The upper side of the lifting mechanism is fixedly connected to the cover 4. The lifting mechanism is used to drive the cover 4 to move up and down.

[0038] In use, the lifting mechanism is activated to slide the lid 4 upwards, causing it to detach from the fermentation tank 2. The raw materials can then be poured into the fermentation tank 2. The lifting mechanism is then activated again to close the lid 4, sealing the fermentation tank 2. The kneading mechanism is then activated to rotate within the fermentation tank 2, stirring the raw materials. Once the fermentation tank 2 is fully stirred, the lifting mechanism is activated again to detach the lid 4. The monitoring mechanism is then installed on the lid 4, and the lifting mechanism is activated again to close the lid 4 to the fermentation tank 2. The lower side of the monitoring mechanism extends into the fermentation tank 2. During fermentation, the dough expands, causing it to rise. When the dough reaches a suitable volume, it contacts the lower side of the monitoring mechanism, triggering an alarm to alert the staff that the biscuit fermentation is complete.

[0039] In one embodiment, the monitoring mechanism includes a sliding groove 10, which is formed on the upper surface of the cover 4 and extends out of the lower surface of the cover 4. A connecting rod 11 is slidably sleeved inside the cover 4. A limiting plate 12 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting rod 11. Multiple positioning grooves 13 are formed on the outer surfaces of both the left and right sides of the connecting rod 11. A threaded hole 17 is formed on the lower surface of the connecting rod 11.

[0040] The monitoring mechanism also includes a fixed platform 14, on the upper surface of which a threaded rod 16 is fixedly connected, and the threaded rod 16 is threadedly connected to a threaded hole 17. A pressure sensor 15 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the fixed platform 14. Support grooves 23 are provided on the inner walls of both sides of the sliding groove 10. A positioning block 25 is slidably connected in the support groove 23. An audible and visual alarm 21 is fixedly installed on the cover 4.

[0041] The monitoring mechanism also includes two second springs 24, which are fixedly connected to the opposite outer surfaces of the two positioning blocks 25. The opposite ends of the two second springs 24 are fixedly connected to the opposite inner walls of the two support grooves 23. The upper surface of the positioning block 25 is provided with the slide rail groove 26. The two slide rail grooves 26 are mirror images of each other. The adjacent outer surfaces of the two positioning blocks 25 slide into the corresponding two positioning grooves 13.

[0042] The monitoring mechanism also includes a support frame 18, which is sleeved on the connecting rod 11. Two push rods 19 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the support frame 18. The lower ends of the push rods 19 slide through into the corresponding support grooves 23. The lower ends of the push rods 19 are spherical. The inner walls of the two opposing sides of the slide rail grooves 26 are inclined. The lower ends of the push rods 19 are slidably connected to the inclined surfaces of the slide rail grooves 26. Two first springs 20 are fixedly connected between the support frame 18 and the cover 4. The first springs 20 are slidably sleeved on the outer surface of the push rods 19.

[0043] In addition, in specific applications, in the initial state, the two positioning blocks 25 slide into the positioning grooves 13 on the left and right sides to position the connecting rod 11, so that the connecting rod 11 cannot move up and down.

[0044] When the support frame 18 is pushed, it causes the two push rods 19 to move downwards. The push rods 19 move downwards into the slide rail groove 26 and their lower ends slide in connection with the inclined surface of the slide rail groove 26. At the same time, the support frame 18 compresses the first spring 20, causing it to deform. At this time, the lower ends of the push rods 19 push the slide rail groove 26 through the inclined surface of the slide rail groove 26, pushing the two positioning blocks 25 to move in opposite directions. The two positioning blocks 25 compress the second spring 24, causing the second spring 24 to deform. At the same time, during this process, the two positioning blocks 25 slide out of the positioning grooves 13 on the left and right sides, thereby releasing the connection between the positioning blocks 25 and the positioning grooves 13. Positioning of 11: At this time, the connecting rod 11 can be pushed up and down to move it up and down. The up and down movement of the connecting rod 11 drives the pressure sensor 15 and the fixed platform 14 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the pressure sensor 15 in the fermenter 2. After the pressure sensor 15 is adjusted to a suitable height, the support frame 18 is released. Under the action of the release force of the first spring 20 and the second spring 24, the first spring 20 drives the support frame 18 and the push rod 19 to reset, and the second spring 24 drives the positioning block 25 to reset, thereby causing the positioning block 25 to slide into the appropriate positioning groove 13, thus repositioning and fixing the connecting rod 11.

[0045] In this design, a controller is installed on the fermentation tank 2. The controller is electrically connected to the audible and visual alarm 21 and the pressure sensor 15. After the raw materials for biscuit production (flour, yeast, salt, etc.) are placed in the fermentation tank 2 and stirred into dough, the height of the pressure sensor 15 is adjusted so that it is at the same height as the dough after fermentation. During fermentation in the fermentation tank 2, the dough will expand as it ferments, causing its volume to increase. When the dough expands to a suitable volume, it will come into contact with the pressure sensor 15 and exert slight pressure on it. At this time, the pressure sensor 15 is triggered and transmits a trigger signal to the controller. The controller then activates the audible and visual alarm 21 to alert the staff that the biscuit fermentation is complete. This eliminates the need for constant manual observation and allows for real-time monitoring, making the process more labor-saving and convenient, thus increasing the practicality of the biscuit production equipment.

[0046] In one embodiment, the lifting mechanism includes two electric push rods 3, which are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1. Two fixing blocks 22 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the cover 4. The telescopic ends of the electric push rods 3 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the fixing blocks 22. A second observation port 6 is provided on the fermentation tank 2, and a first observation port 5 is provided on the cover 4.

[0047] In addition, in specific applications, the electric actuator 3 is activated to drive the fixed block 22 to move up and down. Since the two fixed blocks 22 are fixedly connected to the cover 4, the up and down movement of the fixed blocks 22 synchronously drives the cover 4 to move up and down. During this process, the cover 4 is detached from the fermentation tank 2. At this time, the raw materials for biscuit production can be poured into the fermentation tank 2, and the pressure sensor 15 can also be disassembled.

[0048] In one embodiment, the dough kneading mechanism includes a motor 7, which is fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the cover 4. The rotation output shaft of the motor 7 rotates through the base 1. The rotation output shaft of the motor 7 is fixedly connected to the vertical rod 8, and a plurality of stirring rods 9 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the vertical rod 8.

[0049] In addition, in specific applications, the starting motor 7 can drive the vertical rod 8 to rotate. The rotation of the vertical rod 8 synchronously drives the multiple stirring rods 9 fixed on it to rotate. The stirring rods 9 rotate in the fermentation tank 2 to stir the raw materials for biscuit production in the fermentation tank 2, so that the raw materials are mixed into dough. There is no need for manual kneading, which is more labor-saving and efficient, thereby improving the practicality of the biscuit production device.

[0050] In this solution, by adjusting the height of the pressure sensor 15, it can be applied to the fermentation of dough of different weights, thereby increasing the applicability and flexibility of the biscuit production device.

[0051] In this design, the pressure sensor 15 is a miniature pressure sensor with high sensitivity.

[0052] In this design, rotating the fixed platform 14 drives the threaded rod 16 to rotate, thereby causing the threaded rod 16 to be screwed out of the threaded hole 17. This allows the pressure sensor 15 to be detached from the connecting rod 11, and the cover 4 of the connecting rod 11 can be removed (this is necessary when kneading dough). The pressure sensor 15 can then be cleaned, thus increasing the practicality of the biscuit production device.

[0053] In this design, both the first observation port 5 and the second observation port 6 are made of transparent material, which allows for easy observation of the conditions inside the fermentation tank 2.

[0054] Through the above technical solution, 1. During the fermentation process in the fermentation tank 2, the dough will expand as it ferments, causing its volume to increase. When the dough volume expands to a suitable size, it will come into contact with the pressure sensor 15 and exert slight pressure on the pressure sensor 15. At this time, the pressure sensor 15 is triggered and transmits a trigger signal to the controller. The controller then activates the audible and visual alarm 21 to trigger an audible and visual alarm, reminding the staff that the biscuit fermentation is complete. This eliminates the need for constant manual observation and allows for real-time monitoring, making it more labor-saving and convenient, thereby increasing the practicality of the biscuit production equipment.

[0055] The stirring rod 9 rotates inside the fermentation tank 2 to stir the raw materials for biscuit production, so that the raw materials are mixed into dough. This eliminates the need for manual kneading, making it more labor-saving and efficient, thereby improving the practicality of the biscuit production equipment.

[0056] By adjusting the height of the pressure sensor 15, it can be adapted to the fermentation of dough of different weights, thereby increasing the practicality and flexibility of the biscuit production equipment.
