Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of traditional bread production technology, and in particular relates to a device for storing old dough fermented in traditional bread making. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional bread refers to bread made without the use or reliance on industrially produced commercial yeast, improvers, emulsifiers, flavorings, or other additives. It primarily uses natural yeast for long-term, low-temperature fermentation, and selects high-quality, natural flour (such as traditional stone-ground flour), water, sea salt, and other simple ingredients. The bread is then hand-kneaded, shaped, and baked. In the production process of traditional bread, sourdough is a very important fermentation medium. Because sourdough has low stability and is easily contaminated by other microorganisms, its preservation is more complex than that of commercial yeast. There are three main methods for preserving sourdough: refrigeration, freezing, and air drying. Refrigeration and freezing are currently the most common methods. The sourdough is cut into small pieces and placed in plastic bags, which are then stored in the refrigerator or freezer. However, plastic bags are disposable, resulting in higher costs. Furthermore, the stickiness of the sourdough causes it to adhere to the plastic bags, making it difficult to remove quickly. Additionally, when the sourdough is removed from the refrigerator or freezer, it needs to rise. To speed up the rising process, the surface area of ​​the sourdough exposed to air needs to be increased, but plastic bags cannot help increase this surface area, making them less functional and practical.

[0003] To address these issues, we provide a traditional bread-fermentation sourdough storage device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a traditional bread fermentation sourdough storage device. The device uses a pick-and-place plate to move a movable plate and a silicone pad, allowing the sourdough on the silicone pad to move to the outside of the container, facilitating quick pick-and-place of the sourdough and solving the problem of inconvenient quick pick-and-place of sourdough in existing methods. Simultaneously, a drive plate and a third connecting rod move a connecting plate and a pressure plate, flattening the sourdough inside the container by the pressure plate, increasing the surface area of ​​the sourdough in contact with air and solving the problem of inconvenient auxiliary sourdough proofing in existing methods.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Example 1

[0027] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, this is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a storage device for old dough fermentation in traditional bread making, including a box body 1 and a box cover 2. The box body 1 is provided with a take-up and put-down assembly 3. The take-up and put-down assembly 3 includes a fixed plate 301, a partition 302, a movable plate 303, a silicone pad 304, and a take-up and put-down plate 305. The take-up and put-down plate 305 drives the movable plate 303 and the silicone pad 304 to move, so that the old dough on the silicone pad 304 moves to the outside of the box body 1, which facilitates the quick take-up and put-down of the old dough and solves the problem of the existing method of inconvenient quick take-up and put-down of old dough.

[0028] Specifically, the fixing plate 301 is fixedly connected to the lower interior of the housing 1. A partition 302 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixing plate 301. The connection points between the fixing plate 301 and the housing 1, as well as between the fixing plate 301 and the first connecting rod 303a, are sealed. The fixing plate 301 and the partition 302 create multiple spaces within the housing 1 for storing old dough, facilitating the categorization and storage of old dough. The first connecting rod 303a extends through the surface of the fixing plate 301. The top of the first connecting rod 303a extends above the fixing plate 301 and is fixedly connected to a movable plate 303. The movable plate 303 stores the old dough and moves it, allowing it to move into or out of the housing 1, facilitating its retrieval.

[0029] Furthermore, L-shaped plates 101 are rotatably connected to the upper part of both outer walls of the box body 1. The lateral support arms of the L-shaped plates 101 are fitted into the grooves 201 located on both sides of the top of the box cover 2. A lever 102 is fixedly connected to the top of each lateral support arm of the L-shaped plates 101, and a permanent magnet 103 is fixedly connected to the bottom of each lateral support arm. The L-shaped plates 101, in conjunction with the grooves 201, connect the box body 1 and the box cover 2. Sealing gaskets are also provided at the connection points between the box body 1 and the box cover 2 to prevent leaks. The sealing of the connection between the box body 1 and the box cover 2 is strengthened. In addition, the box cover 2 is provided with a one-way exhaust hole to discharge the carbon dioxide gas generated by the old surface, so as to avoid excessive pressure inside the box body 1. The setting of the lever 102 makes it convenient for the staff to apply external force to the L-shaped plate 101, which facilitates the rotation of the L-shaped plate 101 and makes it easy to remove the horizontal support arm of the L-shaped plate 101 from the groove 201. At the same time, the groove 201 is inlaid with an iron sheet. Through the cooperation of the iron sheet and the permanent magnet 103, the connection between the L-shaped plate 101 and the groove 201 is strengthened. Positioning frames 104 are fixedly connected to both sides of the front and rear ends of the box body 1. Positioning blocks 202 are fitted inside the positioning frames 104 with clearance.

A threaded rod 305b is rotatably connected to the front end of the housing 1. A knob 305c is fixedly connected to the top end of the threaded rod 305b. The front end of the pick-and-place plate 305 extends to the front of the housing 1 and is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 305b. The threaded rod 305b is used to drive the pick-and-place plate 305 to move. When the threaded rod 305b rotates clockwise, it drives the pick-and-place plate 305 to move upward, so that the old surface moves to the outside of the housing 1. When the threaded rod 305b rotates counterclockwise, it drives the pick-and-place plate 305 to move downward, so that the old surface moves to the inside of the housing 1. The knob 305c is designed to facilitate the rotation of the threaded rod 305b.

[0030] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: First, the old dough to be stored is cut, and the cut pieces of old dough are placed on multiple movable plates 303. Then, the knob 305c is reversed, and the knob 305c drives the threaded rod 305b to rotate, so that the threaded rod 305b drives the pick-and-place plate 305 to move. The pick-and-place plate 305 drives the movable plate 303 to move through the mounting plate 305a and the first connecting rod 303a, so that the movable plate 303 carries the old dough into the interior of the box 1. Then, through the connection between the positioning frame 104 and the positioning block 202, the box cover 2 is fastened to the box 1, and the L-shaped plate 101 is rotated so that the lateral support arm of the L-shaped plate 101 is fitted into the groove 201. At the same time, the air in the box 1 is discharged through the exhaust hole on the box cover 2. Finally, the box 1 is placed in the refrigerator or freezer, thus realizing the storage of the old dough. When it is necessary to remove the old dough for fermentation, take the box 1 out of the refrigerator or freezer and apply external force to the L-shaped plate 101 by using the lever 102, so that the horizontal support arm of the L-shaped plate 101 moves out of the groove 201. Then, remove the box lid 2 from the box 1 and turn the knob 305c clockwise. The knob 305c drives the threaded rod 305b to rotate. The threaded rod 305b drives the movable plate 303 to move through the pick-and-place plate 305, so that the movable plate 303 moves the old dough to the outside of the box 1. Then, remove the old dough from the silicone pad 304. Example 2

[0031] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, this is the second embodiment of the present invention.

The drive plate 402 and the third connecting rod 405 drive the connecting plate 404 and the pressure plate 403 to move. The pressure plate 403 flattens the dough inside the box 1, increasing the contact area between the dough and the air, and solving the problem of the existing difficulty in assisting the dough to proof.

[0032] Specifically, multiple sleeve rods 401 are provided and pass through the front and rear ends of the top of the lid 2. The connection between the sleeve rod 401 and the second connecting rod 403a is sealed. The sleeve rod 401 enables the second connecting rod 403a to be movably connected to the lid 2. The second connecting rod 403a is sleeved inside the sleeve rod 401. The bottom end of the second connecting rod 403a extends into the inside of the lid 2 and is fixedly connected to a pressure plate 403. The lower surface of the pressure plate 403 is made of food-grade silicone or PTFE material to prevent the dough from adhering to the pressure plate 403. The pressure plate 403 flattens the dough, increasing the contact area between the dough and air, thus accelerating the proofing speed. The second connecting rod 403a is used to movably install the pressure plate 403 inside the lid 2 and drive... The pressure plate 403 moves; the top of the second connecting rod 403a extends to the outside of the box cover 2 and is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 404. The connecting plate 404 is fixedly connected to the drive plate 402 through the third connecting rod 405. The drive plate 402 is movably connected to the top center of the box cover 2. The drive plate 402 is set to drive the pressure plate 403 to press down, so as to flatten the old dough. The connecting plate 404 is set to connect the pressure plate 403 and the drive plate 402, so that the drive plate 402 drives the pressure plate 403 to move. The third connecting rod 405 is set to connect the connecting plate 404 and the drive plate 402, so that the drive plate 402 can drive the connecting plate 404 to move. It also makes it convenient for the staff to select the amount of old dough to be flattened according to actual needs.

[0033] Furthermore, L-shaped frames 402a are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the lid 2. Slide rods 402b are fixedly connected inside the L-shaped frames 402a. Both ends of the drive plate 402 are sleeved on the slide rods 402b. A handle 402c is fixedly connected to the center of the upper surface of the drive plate 402. The L-shaped frames 402a are used to install the slide rods 402b. The slide rods 402b are used to movably install the drive plate 402 on the lid 2. The handle 402c is used to apply external force to the drive plate 402 and also to facilitate the lifting of the lid 2 and the box body 1 by the staff. Mounting bases 402d are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper surface of the drive plate 402, and connecting blocks 404a are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting plate 404. One end of the third connecting rod 405 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 402d, and the other end of the third connecting rod 405 passes through the connecting block 404a and is threaded with a nut 405a. The mounting base 402d is used to movably mount the third connecting rod 405 on the drive plate 402. The connecting block 404a is used to connect the third connecting rod 405 and the connecting plate 404. The nut 405a enhances the connection stability between the third connecting rod 405 and the connecting plate 404. A return spring 403b is sleeved on the outer side of the second connecting rod 403a. The two ends of the return spring 403b are fixedly connected to the cover 2 and the pressure plate 403 respectively. The return spring 403b is designed to allow the pressure plate 403 to return to its initial position when the external force is lost.

[0034] The rest of the structure is the same as in Example 1.

[0035] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: First, according to the required amount of old dough, connect the drive plate 402 to the corresponding connecting plate 404 via the third connecting rod 405. Rotate the third connecting rod 405 so that the end of the third connecting rod 405 away from the mounting base 402d passes through the connecting block 404a, and tighten the nut 405a so that the nut 405a is tightly attached to the end face of the connecting block 404a away from the mounting base 402d, thereby connecting the corresponding connecting plate 404 to the drive plate 402. Next, hold the handle 402c and... 402c applies a downward force, causing the handle 402c to drive the drive plate 402 downward. The drive plate 402 drives the corresponding connecting plate 404 to descend via the third connecting rod 405. At this time, the connecting plate 404 drives the corresponding pressure plate 403 to descend via the second connecting rod 403a. The pressure plate 403 flattens the corresponding old surface inside the box 1. Finally, the handle 402c is released. At this time, under the action of the return spring 403b, the pressure plate 403 moves to the initial position and opens the box cover 2, allowing the flattened old surface to be taken out.
