The present invention relates to a confectioner embankment fermenter, and more particularly, to a temperature and humidity generator of the fermenter to enable automatic control of temperature and humidity suitable for fermentation to maintain an optimal fermentation state at all times.

In general, maintaining the right temperature and humidity is essential for the maintenance of good quality confectionery or baking. Therefore, various fermenters for providing the above fermentation conditions have been proposed a lot, but all of them are a problem of the uneconomic factors such as difficult to maintain the systematic temperature and humidity consumption.

Conventionally, the technology equipped with such a system is Korean Utility Model Registration No. 179699 'Steam Warmer for Storage of Baking'. According to this preliminary draft, heating elements are provided on both side walls of the firing chamber. The water tank filled with a predetermined level of water is detachably installed to be heated by the heating element, and is configured to be equipped with a controller such as a level check indicator and a temperature controller for checking the level of the tank from the outside.

However, in the case of such a prior preliminary registration, the fermentation process has to increase the number of assembly work by installing heating elements on both sidewalls of the fermentation chamber and cause a complicated structure. Discomfort and discomfort in the bed, especially because the exothermic steam of the tank is naturally moved from the bottom to the top, it is difficult to evenly circulate the steam, and it is impossible to store good confectionery baking due to the difference in humidity between the bottom and the top, and the circulation of moisture The structure is not equipped with water droplets formed in the ceiling of the fermentation chamber is falling back to the fermentation product is a problem that the fermentation product is damaged during the fermentation process.

Therefore, the present invention has been devised to solve such problems in the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to automatically generate steam through supplying water by an automatic water supply device at the same time that the temperature is automatically adjusted according to the fermentation product. It is to provide a temperature and humidity generating device of the fermenter by forced circulation of the steam to the fermentation chamber so that the difference between the upper and lower humidity of the fermentation chamber does not occur and the water droplets do not form on the ceiling to always ferment the food of good quality.

Technical features of the present invention for achieving the above object, dry heat and wet heat heater which is equipped with a circulation passage formed into the interior of the fermentation chamber, and a bracket on the circulation passage and automatically controlled by an external temperature and humidity controller And a nozzle for forcibly spraying the purified water supplied from the outside through the water supply pipe to the wet heat heater by the control operation of the automatic water supply device connected to the wet heat heater to generate steam, and the dry heat and wet heat heater. It consists of a circulation fan for forcibly distributing and circulating the generated heat and steam evenly throughout the fermentation chamber and a drip tray installed to form a circulation space at the bottom of the circulation passage.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail as follows.

Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the internal structure of the fermenter according to the present invention, Figure 2 is a side cross-sectional view thereof, as shown in the interior of the fermentation chamber (10) where the tray on which the fermentation product is mounted to be supported in multiple stages The upper ceiling and the rear wall have a circulating space 12 having a predetermined width communicating therewith, and the dry heat heater 14 for generating heat to the fermentation chamber 10 to a predetermined temperature on the circulation passage 12. , 'U' shaped moist heat heater 16 for generating steam is mounted and supported by one bracket 18, respectively.

In addition, the wet heat heater 16 penetrates the circulation passage 12 through the nozzle 22 for generating steam by forcibly spraying purified water supplied through the water supply pipe 20 from the outside by the control of the automatic water supply device. It is installed.

In addition, the upper ceiling of the circulation passage 12 is equipped with a circulation fan 24 for forcibly circulating heat and steam in the fermentation chamber 10 generated by the dry heat and wet heat heaters (14, 16), circulation The drip tray 26 is provided in the lower end of the channel | path 12 so that a circulation space may be formed.

Here, the dry heat heater 14 and the moist heat heater 16 are automatically connected to each other by being configured with a thermostat and a humidity controller (not shown), and also interconnected with each temperature and humidity sensor installed in the fermentation chamber 10. It is automatically controlled to maintain the set temperature or humidity at all times.

In the drawing, reference numeral 28 denotes a door that opens and closes in front of the fermentation chamber, 30 denotes a drain hole of the drip tray, 32 denotes an operation panel installed on the front of the fermenter, and various control devices are provided, and 34 denotes a low tide and Each cover plate is installed on the circulation passage in front of the damp heat heater.

Referring to the temperature humidity generation state of the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

The fermentation product is placed in a fermentation chamber and then the thermostat and humidity controller are operated to operate the drying heater 14 and the moist heat heater 16, respectively. These dry and moist heat heaters 14 and 16 are subjected to necessity. Simultaneous or selective operation is possible.

Then, the inside of the fermentation chamber 10 is heated to a temperature set according to the fermentation product by the drying heater 14, and the water purified by the automatic water supply device is supplied to the wet heat heater 16 by the water supply pipe 20 and the nozzle 22. Steam is generated within the set range by forced injection through the fermentation food in the fermentation chamber 10 is to be fermented to a suitable temperature and humidity.

In addition, the heat and humidity in the fermentation chamber 10 are forced to circulate from the lower part to the upper part by the circulation fan 24 to the upper part of the fermentation chamber 10 at all times.
