[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fermentation equipment technology, and in particular to a bread dough fermentation device. Background Technology

[0002] Bread dough refers to bread dough that has been shaped but has not yet undergone final fermentation, decoration, and baking. Therefore, in bread processing, fermentation equipment is generally used to ferment bread dough in order to make the desired bread and pastries.

[0003] Existing bread dough fermentation devices mainly consist of a box and a heating element and a feeding element built into the box. During fermentation, the bread dough is placed on the feeding element and then heated by the heating element to promote fermentation. The top of the existing fermentation device box usually has an exhaust vent to allow the hot air generated during fermentation to escape and relieve pressure. However, existing fermentation devices do not process the hot air during venting, resulting in the direct release of hot air. This not only wastes the heat resources in the air but also raises the ambient air temperature, affecting the workers' fermentation operations and hindering the bread dough fermentation process. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention proposes a bread dough fermentation device to solve the problem that existing fermentation devices cannot process hot air, which not only leads to the waste of heat resources in the hot air, but also causes the air temperature around the device to rise.

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0016] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a bread dough fermentation device includes a fermentation box 1 with a door, a feeding structure 2 inside the fermentation box 1, and an exhaust vent 5 at the top of the fermentation box 1. A heating element is embedded in the inner wall of the fermentation box 1. The heating element can be an electric heating tube or an electric heating wire (not shown in the figure). A controller (not shown in the figure) for easy operation is also provided on the fermentation box 1. A collection tray 4 for receiving bread dough crumbs is provided at the bottom of the fermentation box 1. The feeding structure 2 includes a shaft 24 inside the fermentation box 1. Multiple sets of feeding components are installed on the shaft 24 at equal intervals along its axial direction. Each set of feeding components includes four feeding plates 23 arranged in a ring array. When fermenting bread dough, the box door can be opened, the bread dough to be fermented can be placed on the feeding plate 23 and the box door can be closed. Then, the heating element is controlled by the controller to heat the bread dough and promote its fermentation. After the bread dough has fermented for a certain period of time, the box door can be opened to remove the fermented bread dough from the feeding plate 23, thus completing the fermentation process of the bread dough. At the same time, by Figures 1-4 as well as Figure 6 and Figure 7It is understood that the bread dough fermentation device provided by this utility model also includes a waste gas treatment structure 3 for treating the hot gas discharged from the exhaust port 5; the waste gas treatment structure 3 includes a treatment box 31 and a gas collection hood 32 installed on the top of the fermentation box 1. A gas supply pipe 33 is connected between the gas collection hood 32 and the treatment box 31. An exhaust pipe 38 connected to the gas supply pipe 33 is installed inside the treatment box 31. A through hole 34 for exhaust is opened on the top of the treatment box 31. A plurality of exhaust holes 39 are evenly distributed along its axial direction at the bottom of the exhaust pipe 38. A one-way valve is provided at one end of the gas supply pipe 33 near the exhaust pipe 38. The one-way valve can prevent the backflow of gas and also prevent the backflow of the cooling medium inside the treatment box 31. The gas is vented through the inlet / outlet pipe 38 or the supply pipe 33 to facilitate gas discharge and treatment. One side of the treatment box 31 is also connected to an inlet valve 36 and a drain valve 37. The treatment box 31 is also equipped with a liquid level sensor and a temperature sensor. Both the liquid level sensor and the temperature sensor are readily available on the market, and their specific structures and principles are existing technologies, which will not be elaborated here. Specifically, the liquid level sensor can detect the liquid level inside the treatment box 31 in real time, and the temperature sensor can detect the temperature of the cooling medium inside the treatment box 31 in real time. If the temperature reaches the set temperature, the cooling medium inside the treatment box 31 is discharged through the drain valve 37, and the cooling medium is re-added through the inlet valve 36, thereby ensuring the cooling effect on the hot gas.

[0017] During the fermentation of bread dough, a cooling medium (such as cold water) can be added to the processing tank 31 through the liquid inlet valve 36. Then, when the hot air inside the fermentation tank 1 is discharged through the exhaust port 5, the gas collection hood 32 will collect the hot air, so that the gas is discharged into the exhaust pipe 38 through the gas supply pipe 33 and into the cooling medium through the exhaust port 39, so that the hot air comes into contact with the cooling medium and cools down. After cooling down, the gas can be discharged through the through hole 34, while the cold water absorbs heat to form hot water, which can be discharged through the liquid drain valve 37 for external use. This process of treating the hot air avoids the waste of heat resources caused by the direct discharge of hot air and realizes the recovery and utilization of heat in the gas. On the other hand, it avoids the increase in air temperature around the device caused by the discharge of hot air, making it convenient for workers to carry out fermentation operations and facilitating the efficient fermentation of bread dough.

[0018] Furthermore, in this embodiment, to facilitate the fermentation and shaping of the bread dough, such as... Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, each feeding plate 23 has multiple feeding slots 25 distributed at equal intervals.

[0019] Secondly, in order to ensure even heating of the bread dough, such as Figure 5 As shown, each feeding plate 23 has a ventilation hole 26 at its bottom that communicates with the feeding groove 25.

[0020] At the same time, in order to further achieve even heating of the bread dough, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the feeding structure 2 also includes a power component that drives the feeding component to rotate intermittently. The power component includes a motor 21 and a cam divider 22 installed on the top of the fermentation tank 1. The input shaft of the cam divider 22 is connected to the main shaft of the motor 21, and the output shaft is connected to the top end of the shaft 24.

[0021] When the bread dough is fermenting in the feeding trough 25, the motor 21 and the cam divider 22 can work together to drive the shaft 24 to rotate intermittently, which in turn drives the feeding plate 23 to rotate intermittently. Subsequently, the feeding plate 23 drives the bread dough to rotate intermittently, which facilitates the even heating of the bread dough on each feeding plate 23, improves the heating effect of the bread dough, helps to improve the fermentation effect of the bread dough, and facilitates the subsequent processing of the bread dough.

[0022] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-4 as well as Figure 6 As shown, a spoiler 35 is also installed on the top of the processing box 31, and the upper half of the spoiler 35 is bent and tilted to block the top of the through hole 34.

[0023] When the gas, after being cooled in the processing chamber 31, is discharged through the through hole 34, the baffle 35 can turbulent the gas, causing the gas to be discharged to the rear of the device, preventing the gas from flowing to the front of the device and affecting the worker's operation, thus facilitating the fermentation and processing of the bread dough.

[0024] In addition, to facilitate the placement of bread dough of different shapes, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, each discharge trough 25 includes a circular trough 251 and an oblong trough 252, with the circular trough 251 located in the middle of the oblong trough 252.

[0025] When fermenting bread dough, if the bread dough is long and narrow, it can be placed in the waist-shaped trough 252 for fermentation. If the bread dough is round, it can be placed in the round trough 251 for fermentation. This allows the feeding trough 25 to be suitable for bread dough of different shapes, which facilitates the fermentation and shaping of bread dough of different shapes, thereby improving the processing of bread of different shapes and enhancing the practicality of the device.

[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
