Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of proofing devices, and more specifically to an adjustable constant temperature proofing device for pastries. Background technology:

[0002] A pastry proofing device is a specialized piece of equipment used in the baking process to control the fermentation environment of dough, ensuring that the dough proofs under optimal temperature and humidity conditions to achieve the ideal volume and texture. Currently, there are many types of pastry proofing equipment, such as proofing boxes, proofing cabinets, and proofing rooms. However, the dough used for pastries is stationary within these devices and requires manual handling. Therefore, some have proposed using conveyor belts to create temperature-controlled proofing rooms or chambers for mobile proofing, enabling automated dough loading and unloading and facilitating a pastry production line. Since dough proofing requires a certain time, it needs to remain in the proofing room or chamber for a specific period. Furthermore, to coordinate with subsequent pastry production, the conveyor belt speed cannot be too slow. Therefore, proofing rooms or chambers are typically very long to accommodate the large-span conveyor belt. This length occupies significant workshop space, and maintaining a constant temperature within the long proofing room or chamber requires higher standards. Therefore, a structure is needed that allows for mobile proofing of pastries while minimizing the space occupied by the proofing room or chamber. Utility model content:

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing an adjustable constant temperature proofing device for pastries. The constant temperature proofing device designs the conveyor belt into a multi-segment structure with upper and lower distribution, thereby reducing the length of the proofing chamber and the space occupied in the workshop.

[0004] An adjustable constant temperature proofing device for pastries includes a rectangular constant temperature proofing chamber. The upper part of the left side wall of the constant temperature proofing chamber has a feed inlet, and the lower part of the right side wall has a discharge outlet.

[0008] Preferably, the feeding conveyor belt, the discharging conveyor belt, and the connecting conveyor belt are all composed of two sets of rollers and a conveyor belt body sleeved on the rollers;

Detailed implementation method:

[0019] Example: See Figure 1 , 2 As shown, an adjustable constant temperature proofing device for pastries includes a rectangular constant temperature proofing chamber 1. The upper part of the left side wall of the constant temperature proofing chamber 1 has a feed inlet 11, and the lower part of the right side wall has a discharge outlet 12. A horizontal feed conveyor belt 2 is inserted into the feed inlet 11 of the constant temperature proofing chamber 1, and a horizontal discharge conveyor belt 3 is inserted into the discharge outlet 12. Several sets of connecting conveyor belts 4 are arranged horizontally and vertically inside the constant temperature proofing chamber 1.

[0020] A guide plate 6 is provided between the output end of the feeding conveyor belt 2 and the input end of the adjacent connecting conveyor belt 4, between the output end of the connecting conveyor belt 4 and the input end of the lower adjacent connecting conveyor belt 4, and between the input end of the discharge conveyor belt 3 and the output end of the adjacent connecting conveyor belt 4. The guide plate 6 includes an arc-shaped baffle 61 located outside the output end of the feeding conveyor belt 2 or the output end of the connecting conveyor belt 4. An arc is formed between the arc-shaped baffle 61 and the output end of the feeding conveyor belt 2 or the output end of the connecting conveyor belt 4. The arc-shaped channel a has an inclined connecting slide plate 62 formed at the lower end of the arc-shaped baffle 61. The lower end of the connecting slide plate 62 is close to the upper surface of the connecting conveyor belt 4 or the upper surface of the discharge conveyor belt 3. The upper end of the arc-shaped baffle 61 has an inclined middle baffle 63 formed. The upper end of the middle baffle 63 is bent to form an inclined upper baffle 64. The inclination angle of the upper baffle 64 is greater than that of the middle baffle 63. The upper end of the upper baffle 64 is close to the lower surface of the feeding conveyor belt 2 or the lower surface of the connecting conveyor belt 4.

[0021] The lower part of the arc-shaped baffle 61 on the guide plate 6 is formed with several vertical steam inlets 65. Several steam input pipes 7 connected to the steam inlets 65 are inserted into the constant temperature proofing chamber 1. The steam input pipes 7 are fixed on the lower surface of the guide plate 6. A main steam inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the steam input pipe 7. A flow control valve is fixedly connected to the main steam inlet pipe. Several temperature and humidity sensors distributed vertically are fixedly connected inside the constant temperature proofing chamber 1. The temperature and humidity inside the constant temperature proofing chamber 1 are detected by the temperature and humidity sensors. At the same time, the main steam inlet pipe continuously inputs hot steam to achieve constant temperature inside the constant temperature proofing chamber 1. The temperature inside the constant temperature proofing chamber 1 is adjusted by regulating the input of hot steam through the flow control valve.

[0022] The top left side of the constant temperature proofing chamber 1 has several vent holes 13. An exhaust hood 8 connected to the exhaust holes 13 is fixed to the constant temperature proofing chamber 1. An exhaust pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the exhaust hood 8. Hot steam is input into the constant temperature proofing chamber 1 through multiple steam input pipes 7. The hot steam rises and is finally discharged through the exhaust holes 13. A fan can be installed inside the exhaust hood 8. By starting the fan, the hot steam is guided out of the constant temperature proofing chamber 1, thereby preventing the hot steam from flowing out from the feed inlet 11.

[0023] The feeding conveyor belt 2, the discharging conveyor belt 3 and the connecting conveyor belt 4 are all composed of two sets of rollers and a conveyor belt body sleeved on the rollers;

[0024] The left end of the feeding conveyor belt 2 and the right end of the discharging conveyor belt 3 extend out of the constant temperature proofing chamber 1, respectively. The roller shaft at the right end of the feeding conveyor belt 2 is connected to the front and rear side walls of the constant temperature proofing chamber 1 through bearings, and the roller shaft at the left end of the discharging conveyor belt 3 is connected to the front and rear side walls of the constant temperature proofing chamber 1 through bearings. The roller shafts at both ends of the connecting conveyor belt 4 are connected to the front and rear side walls of the constant temperature proofing chamber 1 through bearings. There are gaps between the two ends of the connecting conveyor belt 4 and the left and right side walls of the constant temperature proofing chamber 1, and the gaps are used to set the guide slide plate 6.

[0025] The front and rear sides of the flow guide slide plate 6 are fixedly connected to the front and rear side walls of the constant temperature proofing chamber 1, respectively.

[0026] The width of the feed inlet 11 of the constant temperature proofing chamber 1 is smaller than the width of the discharge outlet 12. The dough for making pastries will expand after proofing, so the discharge outlet 12 needs to be larger.

[0027] The spacing between the feeding conveyor belt 2 and the adjacent connecting conveyor belt 4, the spacing between the upper and lower adjacent connecting conveyor belts 4, and the spacing between the connecting conveyor belt 4 and the discharge conveyor belt 3 gradually increase from top to bottom in the constant temperature proofing chamber 1. As the dough for making pastries proofs and grows larger, the spacing between the conveyor belts needs to be adapted to the size of the dough, so it needs to be increased.

[0028] The width of the channel a between the guide slide plate 6 and the feeding conveyor belt 2 or the connecting conveyor belt 4 gradually increases from top to bottom in the constant temperature proofing chamber 1. The dough for making pastries needs to enter the channel a and slide down to the next layer of the conveyor belt. Similarly, the channel a also needs to be increased to accommodate the larger dough.

[0029] Working principle: This structure is an adjustable constant temperature proofing device for pastries. The constant temperature proofing device changes the large-span single conveyor belt into a structure of multiple upper and lower distributed feeding conveyor belts 2, connecting conveyor belts 4 and discharging conveyor belts 3. A guide slide plate 6 is set at the end of the conveyor belt. After the dough for making pastries leaves the conveyor belt, it falls on the guide slide plate 6 and then slides down the guide slide plate 6 onto the next layer of conveyor belt. Compared with falling directly from the upper layer of conveyor belt onto the lower layer of conveyor belt, the deformation of the dough is smaller.

[0030] Furthermore, the guide plate 6 can provide a connection base for the steam inlet pipe 7, and a steam inlet 65 is opened on the guide plate 6, such as... Figure 1 As shown, by combining the shape and structure of the guide slide 6 and the distribution of the conveyor belt, a continuous S-shaped steam flow channel can be achieved. Figure 1 The double arrows indicate the direction of hot steam flow, providing temperature and humidity for the dough's proofing; moreover, the hot steam rises, facilitating constant temperature control within the constant temperature proofing chamber 1.

[0031] The embodiments described above are illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can modify the embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be as set forth in the claims.
