[0020] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs; the terminology used herein in the specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the application; the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the specification and the foregoing drawings are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification or the foregoing drawings are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order; the terms "inner," "outer," "left," and "right" indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.
[0021] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
[0022] This utility model embodiment provides a dough probiotic culture device, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the dough probiotic culture device includes: a culture box 1, the bottom inner wall of the culture box 1 having a sliding groove, a placement plate 2 fixedly installed on one side inner wall of the culture box 1 for placing a container containing dough; a heating plate 3 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the culture box 1; a temperature sensor 4 fixedly installed on the culture box 1 for detecting temperature; a door 5 set on the culture box 1; and a stirring mechanism assembled on the culture box 1 for mixing dough and probiotics.
[0023] In this embodiment, when using the device, the door 5 is first opened, and then the container containing dough and probiotics is placed on the support plate 2. The container is then fixed stably on the support plate 2 using a clamping mechanism, and the door 5 is closed. The mixing mechanism then mixes the dough and probiotics in the container, ensuring that the probiotics and dough are thoroughly and evenly mixed. This effectively replaces traditional manual mixing operations and reduces labor intensity. After mixing, the heating plate 3 is activated to heat the inside of the incubator 1. The temperature sensor 4 (model SBW-11) detects the internal temperature. When the internal temperature of the incubator 1 reaches the set value, the PLC controller 20 (model FX1N-24MR DC24V) automatically stops the heating plate 3. The heating plate 3 is only activated again when the temperature drops. This process is repeated, allowing the dough and probiotics to ferment in a suitable temperature environment, making cultivation more convenient.
[0024] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the stirring mechanism includes: a bracket 6 fixedly installed on the top of the incubator 1, a first servo motor 7 fixedly installed on the bracket 6; a rotating shaft 8 rotatably installed on the incubator 1, the top end of the rotating shaft 8 being fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first servo motor 7; a sleeve 9 slidably installed on the rotating shaft 8, a stirring rod 12 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the sleeve 9, and a limiting groove formed on the inner wall of the sleeve 9; a limiting block 11 fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 8, the limiting block 11 being slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove; a support plate 10 rotatably installed on the sleeve 9; a second servo motor 13 fixedly installed on the bracket 6; and a screw 14 rotatably installed on the incubator 1, the top end of the screw 14 being fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second servo motor 13, and the screw 14 being threadedly connected to the support plate 10.
[0025] In this embodiment, the mixing mechanism is used to mix dough and probiotics. During use, the second servo motor 13 is first started to drive the screw 14 to rotate. The screw 14 drives the support plate 10 to move vertically, which in turn drives the sleeve 9 to move vertically. This allows the mixing rod 12 on the sleeve 9 to enter the container containing dough and probiotics. During the movement of the sleeve 9, the limiting block 11 on the rotating shaft 8 slides in the limiting groove on the sleeve 9. After the mixing rod 12 enters the container, the first servo motor 7 is started. The first servo motor 7 drives the rotating shaft 8 to rotate at a suitable speed. The rotating shaft 8 drives the sleeve 9 to rotate through the limiting block 11 and the limiting groove, allowing the mixing rod 12 on the sleeve 9 to mix the dough and probiotics in the container. This ensures that the probiotics and dough are thoroughly and evenly mixed, effectively replacing traditional manual mixing operations and significantly reducing labor intensity.
[0026] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the dough probiotic culture device further includes a clamping mechanism installed on the culture box 1, the clamping mechanism being used to fix the container containing the dough.
[0027] In this embodiment, the use of a clamping mechanism can fix the container placed on the placement plate 2 to ensure the stability of the dough and probiotics in the container during the mixing process.
[0028] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the clamping mechanism includes: a bidirectional screw 15 rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the sliding groove, one end of the bidirectional screw 15 extending to the outside of the incubator 1 and fixedly mounted with a handwheel; a slide rod 16 fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the sliding groove; a slider 17 threadedly mounted on the bidirectional screw 15, the slider 17 being slidably connected to the slide rod 16, a support rod 18 fixedly mounted on the top of the slider 17, and a clamping plate 19 fixedly mounted on the support rod 18.
[0029] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to use the clamping mechanism to fix the container placed on the placement plate 2, the handwheel is turned by hand. The handwheel will drive the bidirectional screw 15 to rotate. The bidirectional screw 15 will drive the sliders 17 on both sides to slide on the slide rod 16. The sliders 17 on both sides will drive the support rods 18 on both sides to move closer to each other, so that the clamping plates 19 on both sides can clamp the container tightly, thereby fixing the container on the placement plate 2. The fixing is relatively convenient. When it is necessary to release the container, simply turn the handwheel in the opposite direction.
[0030] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, an anti-slip pad is fixedly installed on the clamping plate 19, and the anti-slip pad is made of rubber material.
[0031] In this embodiment, the anti-slip pad made of rubber material can effectively improve the fixing effect of the clamp 19 on the container and greatly increase the friction between the clamp 19 and the container.
[0032] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a PLC controller 20 is fixedly installed on one side of the incubator 1, and a plurality of anti-slip blocks are fixedly installed on the bottom of the incubator 1.
[0033] In this embodiment, the use of multiple anti-slip blocks ensures that the device can be placed stably on the ground or tabletop, preventing slippage in the placement position.
[0034] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a limiting rod 21 is fixedly installed on the top inner wall of the incubator 1, and the limiting rod 21 is slidably connected to the support plate 10.
[0035] In this embodiment, the use of the limiting rod 21 can further ensure the stability of the support plate 10 during vertical lifting and lowering, so as to prevent deviation.
[0036] In summary, compared with related technologies, this solution, through the use of a fixing mechanism, can firmly fix the container containing dough and probiotics on the support plate 2 after it is placed on the support plate 2, ensuring the stability of the container within the device. The use of a stirring mechanism can effectively replace manual labor in mixing the dough and probiotics in the container, ensuring thorough and uniform mixing of the probiotics and dough. This effectively reduces labor intensity and saves time and energy. The combined use of the heating plate 3, temperature sensor 4, and PLC controller 20 maintains a suitable temperature range inside the incubation chamber 1, allowing the dough and probiotics to ferment in a suitable environment, making cultivation more convenient.
[0037] It should be understood, in the several embodiments provided in this application, that the disclosed apparatus may be implemented in other ways.
