[0002] Dough fermentation is one of the core processes in baking production. The temperature, humidity, and ventilation of the fermentation environment directly determine the proofing effect of the dough, which in turn affects the taste, fluffiness, and appearance of the finished bread, steamed buns, and other foods.

[0003] Currently, dough fermentation boxes on the market are mainly divided into integrated single-chamber fermentation boxes, which are widely used in small bakeries and home settings. However, such fermentation boxes can only ferment one type of dough at a time. If it is necessary to ferment different types of dough such as sweet dough, savory dough, and whole wheat dough at the same time, it can only be done in batches, which not only prolongs the production cycle and reduces processing efficiency, but also makes it difficult to adapt to the needs of simultaneous production of multiple varieties. Therefore, we propose an isolated fermentation box for dough to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0015] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown in this embodiment, a dough fermentation box includes a fermentation box 1 and a fermentation chamber 4 located in the middle of the fermentation box 1. A door 2 is hinged to the front end of the fermentation box 1. A control panel 3 is provided at the top of the fermentation box 1. Vertical grooves 5 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the middle of the fermentation chamber 4. Horizontal grooves 6 are provided on the middle of both sides of the fermentation chamber 4. A partition plate 9 is placed in the two sets of vertical grooves 5. Two sets of horizontal plates 10 are installed on both sides of the middle of the partition plate 9. The ends of the two sets of horizontal plates 10 are located in the two sets of horizontal grooves 6. Multiple sets of heating plates 7 are installed on both sides of the inner wall of the fermentation chamber 4. Multiple sets of exhaust windows 8 are provided on the back of the fermentation chamber 4. Guide grooves 11 are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the partition plate 9. Two sets of placement trays 12 are provided on both sides of the partition plate 9. Two sets of guide rods 13 are installed on the outer wall of the side end of the placement trays 12. The guide rods 13 are located inside the guide grooves 11. Locking components are provided on both sides of the fermentation box 1.

[0017] The partition plate 9 is inserted into the fermentation chamber 4 by sliding its upper and lower ends into the vertical groove 5 of the fermentation chamber 4. At the same time, the horizontal plates 10 on both sides of the partition plate 9 are precisely engaged into the horizontal grooves 6 on both sides of the fermentation chamber 4, thus achieving the initial positioning of the partition plate 9 and forming four independent fermentation chambers. The placement tray 12 is slidably connected to the guide groove 11 of the partition plate 9 through the guide slide rod 13 on the side end, and is quickly assembled into the independent fermentation chamber. Then, the heating plate 7 receives the instructions from the control panel 3 to provide the set temperature for each independent fermentation chamber, and the exhaust window 8 continuously ventilates to remove excess water vapor in the chamber and prevent condensation.

[0018] In other embodiments, the locking assembly includes a sleeve 14 fixed to the outside of the fermentation tank 1, a movable column 15 disposed inside the sleeve 14, a locking plate 16 disposed at the front end of the movable column 15, a handle 18 connected to the end of the movable column 15 away from the fermentation tank 1 via a connecting rod 17, a return spring 19 wound around the outside of the connecting rod 17, and the locking plate 16 penetrating inside the transverse groove 6 and located at the front end of the transverse plate 10; When the partition plate 9 needs to be installed, first hold the handle 18 and pull it away from the fermentation tank 1, so that the connecting rod 17 drives the movable column 15 to slide in the sleeve 14 and compress the return spring 19. When the locking plate 16 moves horizontally with the movable column 15 and disengages from the horizontal groove 6, the partition plate 9 can then be inserted into the vertical groove 5. After the partition plate 9 is installed, release the handle 18, so that the return spring 19 releases its elasticity and pushes the movable column 15 to slide towards the fermentation chamber 4, so that the locking plate 16 passes through the horizontal groove 6 and abuts against the front end of the horizontal plate 10, thereby locking and fixing the partition plate 9.

[0019] In other embodiments, a snap-fit ​​groove is provided at the center of the front end of the partition plate 9; With this design, when it is necessary to insert, remove or adjust the partition plate 9, the operator can insert their fingers into the groove at the front end of the partition plate 9 and apply pulling or pushing force to move the partition plate 9 along the guide direction of the vertical groove 5, thereby realizing the installation and removal of the partition plate 9.

[0020] In other embodiments, each placement tray 12 is provided with a placement groove, and the inner wall of the placement groove is a smooth arc surface; With this design, doughs of different recipes can be placed into the placement slots of each placement tray 12. The arc-shaped structure of the placement slots helps to limit the dough and prevents the dough from shifting or falling off during the fermentation process due to expansion, vibration and other factors.

[0021] In other embodiments, the outer wall of the movable column 15 is fully fitted with the inner wall of the sleeve 14, and the movable column 15 and the sleeve 14 are slidably connected. This design allows the movable column 15 to slide back and forth along the axial direction within the sleeve 14, while avoiding significant shaking during the sliding process, ensuring that the locking plate 16 always moves smoothly along the axial direction of the transverse groove 6.

[0022] In other embodiments, the two ends of the return spring 19 are respectively connected to the outer wall of the movable column 15 and the inner wall of the sleeve 14, and the movable column 15 is elastically connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 14 through the return spring 19; This design allows the return spring 19 to continuously release elastic force onto the movable column 15, generating a thrust pointing towards the fermentation chamber 4, thereby pushing the movable column 15 to slide forward automatically, causing the locking plate 16 to be precisely inserted into the transverse groove 6 to complete the locking.

[0023] This utility model provides an isolated fermentation box for dough, the specific working principle of which is as follows: Preliminary preparation stage: Determine the number of independent fermentation chambers required based on the type and batch of dough to be fermented. Then, have the operator hold the groove at the front end of the divider plate 9 and insert the divider plate 9 into the vertical grooves 5 on both sides of the fermentation chamber 4. Let the horizontal plates 10 on both sides of the divider plate 9 naturally fit into the horizontal grooves 6 on both sides of the fermentation chamber 4 to complete the initial positioning of the divider plate 9 and form multiple independent fermentation chambers.

[0024] Release the handle 18 of the locking component to allow the return spring 19 to release its elasticity, pushing the movable column 15 to slide inside the sleeve 14, causing the locking plate 16 to pass through the horizontal groove 6 and press against the front end of the horizontal plate 10, thus achieving a stable lock on the separator plate 9. Then, place the doughs to be fermented with different formulas into the placement slots of each placement tray 12, hold both sides of the placement tray 12, align the guide slide rod 13 on the side of the placement tray 12 with the guide slide groove 11 of the separator plate 9, and slide along the guide slide groove 11 to install the placement tray 12 into the corresponding independent fermentation chamber, thus completing the classification and placement of the dough.

[0025] Then, through the control panel 3 at the top of the fermentation box 1, the appropriate temperature parameters are set for each independent fermentation chamber. The control panel 3 then sends instructions to the heating plate 7 on the inner wall of the fermentation chamber 4, so that the heating plate 7 provides the set temperature for each chamber. At the same time, the exhaust window 8 at the back of the fermentation chamber 4 is continuously open to achieve air circulation between the inside and outside of the chamber, exhaust excess water vapor, and prevent water vapor condensation from affecting the fermentation of the dough.

[0026] Once the dough has fermented for the preset time, the operator will pull out the placement tray 12 along the guide groove 11 to remove the fermented dough, thus completing the entire fermentation process.

[0027] The electrical components and main controllers mentioned in this article can all be conventional, known devices such as computers that provide control.

[0028] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
