Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of flour fermentation devices, specifically relating to a multi-stage stirring flour fermentation tank. Background Technology
[0002] In the food industry, flour fermentation is a crucial step in the production of bread, steamed buns, and other flour-based products. Its effectiveness directly impacts the product's quality and taste. Multi-stage stirring fermentation devices utilize a unique structural design and power configuration. Structurally, the tank contains multiple layers of stirring blades positioned at different heights, creating multiple stirring stages. For example, the upper blades are typically larger to achieve extensive material agitation, promoting initial mixing of the flour in the upper layer of the tank; the middle blades, in terms of size and shape, focus more on lateral material transport and localized mixing; and the lower blades emphasize stirring the bottom material to prevent sedimentation and ensure sufficient contact between the leavening agent and the flour. The multi-stage fermentation tank also utilizes an intelligent control system to automatically optimize multi-stage stirring parameters based on data such as material concentration, temperature, and fermentation progress fed back by sensors inside the tank, ensuring that flour fermentation is always in the best state. Most existing fermentation tanks use multiple sets of bolt assemblies for fixing the tank body and the tank cover. When it is necessary to inspect and maintain the internal stirring components, multiple sets of bolt assemblies need to be disassembled one by one. This operation is cumbersome and affects the maintenance efficiency of the staff. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-stage stirring flour fermentation tank, which aims to solve the problem that in the existing technology, the tank body and the tank cover are mostly fixed by multiple sets of bolt assemblies. When it is necessary to inspect and maintain the stirring components inside, multiple sets of bolt assemblies need to be disassembled one by one. This operation is cumbersome and affects the maintenance efficiency of the staff.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a multi-stage stirring flour fermentation tank, including a base frame, a control box mounted on the top surface of the base frame, a fermentation tank body mounted on the top surface of the base frame, a first groove formed on the top open end surface of the fermentation tank body, a first magnetic block fitted and connected to the inner wall surface of the first groove, a second magnetic block magnetically connected to the top surface of the first magnetic block, the surface of the second magnetic block fitted and connected to the surface of a second groove formed at the bottom of the tank lid, a guide tube connected to the top surface of the tank lid, a dovetail block connected to the inner wall surface of the guide tube, the surface of the dovetail block inserted into the dovetail groove formed on the surface of the guide rod, the bottom surface of the guide rod connected to the top open end of the fermentation tank body, and a fixing block connected to the surface of the fermentation tank body, the surface of the fixing block being connected to a buckle by a rotating shaft.
[0005] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which is a multi-stage stirring flour fermentation tank, both the first groove and the second groove are arc-shaped grooves, and their shape and size are adapted to the first magnetic block and the second magnetic block.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model of a multi-stage stirring flour fermentation tank, a set of the first groove and the second groove are symmetrically opened at the intersection of the fermentation tank body and the tank cover.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model of a multi-stage stirring flour fermentation tank, the inner wall of the guide tube has a circular groove whose shape and size are adapted to the guide rod.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model of a multi-stage stirring flour fermentation tank, a set of dovetail blocks are longitudinally symmetrically distributed on the surface of the guide tube, and a set of dovetail grooves are longitudinally symmetrically opened on the surface of the guide rod. A circular groove is opened on the inner wall of the guide tube, the shape and size of which are adapted to the guide rod.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model of a multi-stage stirring flour fermentation tank, the bottom surface of the tank lid is bonded with an annular sealing ring, and the shape and size of the sealing ring are adapted to the top opening of the fermentation tank.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model of a multi-stage stirring flour fermentation tank, the buckle is an L-shaped integrated structure, the inner wall arc structure is adapted to the tank lid, and the top surface of the tank lid has three sets of arc-shaped protrusions distributed in a ring, the shape and size of which are adapted to the inner wall groove of the buckle.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: The fermenter body and lid are quickly positioned and initially secured by a magnetic connection between the first and second magnetic blocks that interlock between them. Then, a rotating buckle engages with a protrusion on the top of the lid, facilitating quick and easy fixation of the connection. Simultaneously, when maintenance or repair of the stirring components within the fermenter is required, simply pushing the buckle outwards to disengage it from the lid overcomes the relatively small magnetic force, easily separating the lid and body. This simple and quick operation improves maintenance efficiency. Furthermore, the first and second magnetic blocks interlock between the fermenter body and lid are easily replaceable, ensuring the stability of the connection between the fermenter body and lid.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0015] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides the following technical solution: a multi-stage stirring flour fermentation tank, including a base frame 1, a control box 2 mounted on the top surface of the base frame 1, a fermentation tank body 3 mounted on the top surface of the base frame 1, a first groove 4 formed on the top opening end surface of the fermentation tank body 3, a first magnetic block 5 fitted and connected to the inner wall surface of the first groove 4, a second magnetic block 6 magnetically connected to the top surface of the first magnetic block 5, the surface of the second magnetic block 6 fitted and connected to the surface of a second groove 8 formed at the bottom of the tank lid 7, a guide tube 9 connected to the top surface of the tank lid 7, a dovetail block 10 connected to the inner wall surface of the guide tube 9, and the surface of the dovetail block 10... The dovetail groove 12 is inserted into the surface of the guide rod 11. The bottom surface of the guide rod 11 is connected to the top opening of the fermentation tank 3. The surface of the fermentation tank 3 is connected to the fixing block 13. The surface of the fixing block 13 is rotatably connected to the buckle 15 by the rotating shaft 14. In this design, the base frame 1, control box 2, fermentation tank 3 and tank cover 7 form the main body of the multi-stage stirring fermentation tank. A large number of related components are set in the main body of the multi-stage stirring fermentation tank. Since they are existing technologies and the core content of this technical solution is not related to them, they will not be described in detail in this technical solution. The main model of the multi-stage stirred fermenter in this solution is: zysg.
[0016] In operation: First, flour, leavening agent, and other raw materials are fed into fermentation tank 3 through the feed inlet. Fermentation tank 3 is made of corrosion-resistant material to ensure a stable internal fermentation environment. Subsequently, the power system drives stirring blades of different levels, shapes, and sizes to operate at differentiated speeds and directions. The upper blades agitate the material over a large area, the middle blades focus on lateral conveying and localized mixing, and the lower blades prevent sedimentation at the bottom, ensuring that the leavening agent and flour are thoroughly and evenly mixed. Simultaneously, sensors on fermentation tank 3 monitor fermentation environment parameters in real time and feed them back to the control system. If the parameters deviate from preset values, the control system in control box 2 automatically adjusts heating, cooling, and ventilation devices to create a suitable temperature, humidity, and gas environment for flour fermentation, promoting efficient and stable fermentation and ultimately producing fermented material that meets quality requirements. Preferably, the first groove 4 and the second groove 8 are both arc-shaped grooves, and their shape and size are adapted to the first magnetic block 5 and the second magnetic block 6.
[0017] In practical use, the first groove 4 and the second groove 8 are conveniently fitted and fixed to the rubber protrusions on the surfaces of the first magnetic block 5 and the second magnetic block 6, thereby fixing their positions.
[0018] Preferably, a first groove 4 and a second groove 8 are symmetrically opened at the intersection of the fermentation tank body 3 and the tank cover 7.
[0019] In practical use, the first groove 4 and the second groove 8 opened at the intersection of the fermentation tank 3 and the lid 7 are used to fit and fix the first magnetic block 5 and the second magnetic block 6, so that the opening ends of the fermentation tank 3 and the lid 7 can be magnetically connected.
[0020] Preferably, a circular groove is formed on the inner wall of the guide tube 9, the shape and size of which are adapted to the guide rod 11.
[0021] In practical use, the guide rod 11 connected to the top of the fermentation tank 3 is inserted into the groove at the bottom of the guide tube 9 on the surface of the tank cover 7, thereby using the cooperation of the guide tube 9 and the guide rod 11 to guide and limit the connection between the fermentation tank 3 and the tank cover 7.
[0022] Preferably, a set of dovetail blocks 10 are longitudinally symmetrically distributed on the surface of the guide tube 9, and a set of dovetail grooves 12 are longitudinally symmetrically opened on the surface of the guide rod 11.
[0023] In practical use, the dovetail block 10 on the inner wall of the guide tube 9 is inserted into the dovetail groove 12 opened on the surface of the guide rod 11, which increases the friction on the contact surface of the two, thereby making the connection between the fermentation tank 3 and the tank cover 7 more stable.
[0024] Preferably, an annular sealing ring is bonded to the bottom surface of the tank lid 7, and the shape and size of the sealing ring are adapted to the top opening of the fermentation tank 3.
[0025] In actual use, the annular sealing ring glued to the bottom of the lid 7 fills the gap between the fermentation tank 3 and the lid 7.
[0026] Preferably, the buckle 15 is an "L"-shaped integrated structure, and its inner wall arc structure is adapted to the can lid 7. Furthermore, three sets of arc-shaped protrusions are distributed in a ring on the top surface of the can lid 7, and their shape and size are adapted to the inner wall groove of the buckle 15.
[0027] In practical use, the buckle 15 made of engineering plastic material is fixed to the stainless steel protrusion connected to the top of the can lid 7 by the groove on the surface of the buckle 15, thereby ensuring the stability and wear resistance of the connection between the two.
[0028] Working principle: When using fermentation tank 3 to stir and ferment flour, the inside of the tank needs to be cleaned regularly to prevent material residue from forming dirt and affecting subsequent fermentation. During flour fermentation, the stirring blades continuously come into contact with flour, leavening agent, and other materials, generating friction. Long-term use will cause the blades to wear down. Therefore, the lid 7 fixed to the fermentation tank 3 needs to be removed to clean and maintain the surface of the stirring components between the fermentation tank 3 and the lid 7, as well as the inner wall of the fermentation tank 3. First, pull the buckle 15 that engages with the protrusion on the top of the lid 7, causing it to rotate outwards on the fixing block 13 via the rotating shaft 14 connected at the bottom, thus disengaging the lid 7. Then, grasp the handles installed on both sides of the top of the lid 7 and pull upwards on the first magnetic block 5 and the second magnetic block 6, which are magnetically connected to each other, causing the connection between the fermentation tank 3 and the lid 7 to detach, thus exposing the stirring components at the bottom of the lid 7 and the inner wall of the fermentation tank 3, allowing for the cleaning of any remaining material on their surfaces. Wearing stirring components can also be replaced. After maintenance is completed, repeat the above operation. Insert the stirring component at the bottom of the lid 7 into the opening of the fermentation tank 3. Then, use the guide rod 11 connected to the top of the fermentation tank 3 to insert into the groove at the bottom of the guide tube 9 on the surface of the lid 7. The guide tube 9 and the guide rod 11 are used to guide and limit the connection between the fermentation tank 3 and the lid 7, making the connection between the two tighter and more stable. At the same time, the dovetail block 10 on the inner wall of the guide tube 9 is inserted into the dovetail groove 12 on the surface of the guide rod 11, increasing the friction on the contact surface of the two, thereby making the connection between the fermentation tank 3 and the lid 7 more stable. Conversely, after cleaning and maintaining the residue in the fermentation tank 3 and the stirring component at the bottom of the lid 7, the position of the fermentation tank 3 and the lid 7 can be temporarily fixed by the magnetic connection between the first magnetic block 5 and the second magnetic block 6 connecting the fermentation tank 3 and the lid 7. This makes it convenient for a single person to quickly and stably fix the fermentation tank 3 and the lid 7. Furthermore, after long-term use, while maintaining the stirring assembly between the fermentation tank 3 and the lid 7, the grooves on the first groove 4 and the second groove 8 on the surfaces of the fermentation tank 3 and the lid 7 allow for easy pinching of the fitted first magnetic block 5 and the second magnetic block 6, enabling them to be pulled out and replaced. This ensures the magnetism of the first magnetic block 5 and the second magnetic block 6, thereby guaranteeing the connection stability between the fermentation tank 3 and the lid 7. In practical use, the first magnetic block 5 and the second magnetic block 6 are made of strong magnets, such as neodymium iron boron magnets. When installing the first magnetic block 5 at the top of the fermentation tank 3, its N pole faces outwards; when installing the second magnetic block 6 at the bottom of the lid 7, its S pole faces outwards. With the pole facing outwards, the annular sealing ring bonded to the bottom of the lid 7 fills the gap between the fermentation tank 3 and the lid 7. At the same time, a rubber shock-absorbing pad is installed between the motor and the installation contact surface of the lid 7. The rubber material has good elasticity and can absorb and buffer the vibration generated by the motor operation, so as to avoid affecting the connection stability of the first magnetic block 5 and the second magnetic block 6.
[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
