Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing equipment technology, and in particular to a fermentation device for steamed bun processing. Background Technology

[0002] Fermentation is a crucial step in the production of steamed buns and other pastries, directly impacting the final product's taste and quality. To provide a constant and suitable temperature and humidity environment for the dough, fermentation equipment is widely used in the pastry processing industry.

[0003] Currently, most fermentation devices on the market are box-type structures with multiple shelves inside, sealed and insulated by a single, integrated door. In practical use, especially when fermentation products need to be stored and retrieved in batches or at different times, this structure reveals its inherent structural flaws.

[0004] When operators retrieve or place buns from one of the trays, the entire door of the container must be fully opened. The instant the door opens, the precisely controlled temperature and humidity environment inside the container undergoes a dramatic exchange with the outside air, resulting in a significant loss of heat and moisture. This not only causes frequent activation of the heating and humidification systems, leading to unnecessary energy waste, but more importantly, it impacts other batches of buns still fermenting inside, causing fluctuations in the fermentation environment and affecting the stability of the fermentation process and the consistency of the final product's quality.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model proposes a fermentation device for steamed bun processing to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0024] Example:

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a fermentation device for steamed bun processing, which aims to solve the problems of temperature and humidity fluctuations and low internal space utilization caused by opening the door when taking out and putting in items in existing fermentation devices.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the fermentation device for steamed bun processing includes a base 3, a box 2 fixedly installed on the top surface of the base 3, casters 8 installed on the bottom surface of the base 3, and a control panel 4 installed on the front surface of the base 3; an opening is formed on the front side of the box 2, and a temperature control component 1 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the box 2 for regulating the temperature inside the box 2; a partition 9 is horizontally fixedly connected to the inside of the box 2, dividing the inner cavity of the box 2 into an upper fermentation zone and a lower fermentation zone to achieve zoned fermentation; the device also includes a sealing mechanism 6 for closing the opening of the box 2, the sealing mechanism 6 is rotatably connected to one side of the opening of the box 2 via a hinge 604, and the sealing mechanism 6 includes a first movable door 601 for closing the upper fermentation zone and a second movable door 602 for closing the lower fermentation zone.

[0027] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this embodiment lies in the specific structure of the sealing mechanism 6. The sealing mechanism 6 achieves selective locking and separation of the first movable door 601 and the second movable door 602 through its internal door lock assembly 605.

[0028] Please refer to the following carefully. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The sealing mechanism 6 will be described in detail below: Door lock assembly 605 is installed on the first movable door 601. Door lock assembly 605 includes a handle 6051, a gear 6052 coaxially connected to the handle 6051, and a latch 6053 slidably installed within the first movable door 601 and meshing with the gear 6052. Correspondingly, a pin groove 6054 is provided at the upper edge of the second movable door 602 where it abuts against the first movable door 601. In the assembled state, rotating the handle 6051 causes the gear 6052 to rotate, driving the latch 6053 to move linearly along its sliding direction perpendicular to the groove opening of the pin groove 6054 through meshing transmission. This allows the end of the latch 6053 to selectively insert into the pin groove 6054. 4. The door 601 is locked to the other side of the slot 6054. When the pin 6053 is inserted into the slot 6054, the first movable door 601 and the second movable door 602 are locked together. When the pin 6053 is released from the slot 6054, the first movable door 601 and the second movable door 602 are unlocked and can be opened independently by rotating around the hinge 604. To further ensure the sealing, magnetic strips 7 are fixedly installed on the opening edge of the housing 2 and on the inner edge of the first movable door 601 and the second movable door 602. In addition, a glass observation window 603 is embedded in both the first movable door 601 and the second movable door 602, and a second door handle 606 is fixedly installed on the front of the second movable door 602.

[0029] Based on the above embodiments, the present invention may further include the following preferred technical solutions: As a preferred embodiment, to flexibly adjust the storage space inside the housing 2, please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 A partition mechanism 5 is also installed on the inner walls of both sides of the box 2. The partition mechanism 5 includes a guide rail 501 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the box 2, a crossbar 506, a pulley 502 installed at the end of the crossbar 506 and slidingly engaged with the guide rail 501, and a rotating rod 504 rotatably connected to the crossbar 506 at one end and rotatably connected to the inner wall of the box 2 at the other end. By rotating the rotating rod 504, the crossbar 506 can be rotated while the pulley 502 slides along the guide rail 501, thereby folding or unfolding the entire partition mechanism 5.

[0030] As a further optimization of the aforementioned separating mechanism 5, in order to achieve stable locking of the separating mechanism 5 in the unfolded state, a locking component 505 is also installed on the crossbar 506, and a positioning hole 5055 that cooperates with the locking component 505 is provided on the guide rail 501; the locking component 505 includes a knob 5051, a steel wire 5052, a spring 5053, and a positioning pin 5054; the positioning pin 5054 passes through the crossbar 506 and abuts against the spring 5053, one end of the steel wire 5052 is connected to the knob 5051, and the other end is connected to the positioning pin 5054; in the natural state, the positioning pin 5054 extends out and inserts into the positioning hole 5055 under the elastic force of the spring 5053, thereby locking the position of the pulley 502 on the guide rail 501, so that the separating mechanism 5 remains in a horizontal working state.

[0031] In another preferred embodiment, at least two rotating shafts 503 are rotatably mounted on the crossbar 506 to facilitate the placement and removal of the fermentation tray.

[0032] The working principle of this fermentation device for steamed bun processing is as follows: When in use, the entire device is first moved to the designated working position by the casters 8 installed on the bottom of the base 3. The operator sets the fermentation parameters through the control panel 4 on the front of the base 3. The control panel 4 controls the temperature control component 1 on the top of the box 2 to maintain the upper and lower fermentation zones inside the box 2 at the set fermentation temperature.

[0033] When it is necessary to access items in the upper fermentation area separately, the operator grasps and rotates the handle 6051 installed on the first movable door 601. The handle 6051 drives the gear 6052 connected to it to rotate, and the pin 6053 that meshes with the gear 6052 moves linearly and retracts upward, so that its end completely disengages from the pin groove 6054 on the second movable door 602. At this time, the locking relationship between the first movable door 601 and the second movable door 602 is released, and the operator can open the first movable door 601 separately, while the lower fermentation area remains closed, thereby reducing the fluctuation of the internal environment of the box 2. Similarly, when it is necessary to operate the second movable door 602, it can be opened separately through the second door handle 606 on its front.

[0034] When large items need to be placed, the operator rotates the knob 5051 of the locking component 505 on the partition mechanism 5. The knob 5051 tightens the internal steel wire 5052, which pulls the positioning pin 5054 to compress the spring 5053 and disengage it from the positioning hole 5055 of the guide rail 501, thus releasing the lock on the pulley 502. At this time, through the pivoting action of the rotating rod 504, the entire partition mechanism 5 can be flipped and folded upwards and vertically stored deep in the box 2 to free up a complete fermentation space. When multiple trays need to be placed, the partition mechanism 5 is unfolded and placed horizontally. The positioning pin 5054 automatically inserts into the positioning hole 5055 under the action of the spring 5053 to achieve locking. When placing the tray, the bottom surface of the tray contacts the rotating shaft 503 on the crossbar 506. The rolling of the rotating shaft 503 makes the process of pushing the tray in and pulling it out easier.

[0035] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
