Description

A dough kneading and proofing machine Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a dough mixing and proofing machine. Background Technology

[0002] A dough mixer is a common food processing machine, often used for kneading and mixing powdered foods. In existing technology, dough mixers typically include a main unit module and a dough mixing bowl assembly. Driven by the main unit module, the dough mixing bowl assembly completes the kneading operation. After kneading, fermentation can also be performed directly within the dough mixing bowl assembly. It's easy to understand that dough fermentation is easily affected by temperature. When the temperature is low, the dough cannot ferment within the dough mixing bowl assembly. In this case, heating wires at the bottom of the main unit module are needed to heat and keep the dough mixing bowl assembly warm. However, since the heat generated by the heating wires can only be transferred from the bottom of the dough mixing bowl assembly, uneven heating occurs, resulting in low fermentation quality and efficiency. Furthermore, because the dough mixing bowl assembly is exposed to the external environment, in some colder regions, this heating method may even prevent the dough mixing bowl assembly from reaching the temperature required for dough fermentation, thus preventing the dough from fermenting. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention overcomes the shortcomings of the above-mentioned technologies and provides a dough mixing and fermentation machine, which aims to solve the problems of existing dough mixing machines being unable to ferment at low ambient temperatures and the low fermentation quality and efficiency caused by uneven heating.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0015] 1. This invention provides a dough kneading and fermentation machine. The air guide covers surround the dough kneading bucket assembly, preventing the assembly from directly contacting the environment during fermentation. This provides good heat preservation and protection for the assembly. Furthermore, the hot air assembly delivers heat-insulating airflow into the heat preservation chamber, thereby maintaining the dough inside the assembly at an ideal temperature for smooth fermentation. This improves both fermentation quality and efficiency.

[0016] 2. This invention provides a dough kneading and fermentation machine, which makes a significant improvement over the traditional bottom heating plate heating method of dough kneading machines. The hot air component blows hot air to uniformly heat the bottom and sides of the kneading bucket, improving heating efficiency, ensuring uniform heating, and resulting in good fermentation effect.
