[0026] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the present invention.

[0027] Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3A cell fermentation device with a quick-release mechanism is shown, comprising a fermentation tank body 1 and a monitoring electrode 2 for monitoring the internal data of the fermentation tank body 1, a bottom monitoring groove 3 for installing the monitoring electrode 2 is provided at the lower end of the inner wall of the fermentation tank body 1, a height-adjustable mounting frame is installed inside the bottom monitoring groove 3, the monitoring electrode 2 is threadedly fixed to the inner side of the height-adjustable mounting frame through the bottom threaded end, the lower end of the height-adjustable mounting frame is axially connected to a bottom sealing assembly tube 5 with an arc-shaped limiting groove 4 on the outer side, a bottom loading and unloading hole 6 connected to the bottom monitoring groove 3 is provided on the lower surface of the fermentation tank body 1, and an annular adjustment groove 7 with a built-in rotating locking mechanism is provided inside the outer wall of the fermentation tank body 1 and located outside the bottom loading and unloading hole 6.

[0028] Furthermore, in order to cooperate with external adjustment and control, an arc-shaped external control port 8 connected to the annular adjustment groove 7 is opened on the outer wall of the fermentation tank body 1, and an arc-shaped internal telescopic port 9 connected to the inside of the annular adjustment groove 7 is opened on the inner side of the bottom loading and unloading hole 6.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, in order to cooperate with the rotational locking, the rotary locking mechanism includes an internal adjustment ring 10 movably assembled in the annular adjustment groove 7, an external control block 11 fixed on the outer side of the internal adjustment ring 10, and a lateral control groove 12 opened on the inner side of the internal adjustment ring 10.

Furthermore, in order to cooperate with the rotational extrusion limit and elastic reset, an arc-shaped extrusion limit block 13 is installed inside the arc-shaped internal telescopic port 9. Lateral mounting slots are opened at both ends of the extrusion surface of the arc-shaped extrusion limit block 13 and on both sides of the inner opening end of the arc-shaped internal telescopic port 9. An arc-shaped reset spring 14 for controlling the elastic expansion and contraction reset of the arc-shaped extrusion limit block 13 is fixedly connected inside the lateral mounting slot.

[0030] Control principle: People push the external control block 11 from the outside, and then the external control block 11 drives the internal adjustment ring 10 to rotate. The internal adjustment ring 10 controls the arc-shaped extrusion limit block 13 to be squeezed into the arc-shaped limit slot 4 by rotation, thereby locking and fixing the position of the bottom sealing assembly tube 5.

[0031] Furthermore, in order to cooperate with the installation and adjustment of the monitoring electrode 2, an inner assembly tube 15 and a lateral adjustment tube 16 fixed on the outer side of the inner assembly tube 15 are fixedly connected to the inner side surface of the bottom sealing assembly tube 5, and an external threaded adjustment rod 17 for controlling the telescopic adjustment of the height-adjustable mounting frame is movably installed inside the lateral adjustment tube 16.

[0036] When people disassemble, they directly rotate the bottom control block 24 to the lowest position, and then rotate the external control block 11 to make the bottom sealing assembly tube 5 descend, and then rotate the bottom control block 24 in the opposite direction. At this time, the height-adjustable mounting frame remains fixed, and the bottom sealing assembly tube 5 continues to descend, and finally the monitoring electrode 2 is disassembled from the outer opening of the side lifting guide groove 26.

[0037] A cell fermentation device with a quick-release mechanism of the present invention is provided with a bottom monitoring groove 3 for installing a monitoring electrode 2 at the lower end of the inner wall, and the monitoring electrode 2 is installed and height-adjusted by using a height-adjustable mounting frame inside the bottom monitoring groove 3, so that the sensing electrode inside the fermentation tank can be adjusted in height as needed, thereby expanding its monitoring range and improving its monitoring accuracy; the bottom sealing assembly tube 5 is limited and locked by a rotating locking mechanism, and can be loaded and unloaded by using a quick-release structure, and later maintenance and replacement are simpler and more convenient; an inner assembly insert 15, a lateral adjustment tube 16 and a rubber sealing ring 22 are fixed on the inner side of the bottom sealing assembly tube 5, so that the height of the height-adjustable mounting frame can be conveniently adjusted, and the sealing of the bottom adjustment section can be ensured, so as to avoid leakage during adjustment and assembly; the height adjustment of the height-adjustable mounting frame and the bottom sealing assembly tube 5 can be controlled separately by an externally threaded adjustment rod 17 located inside the lateral adjustment tube 16, so that the control is simpler and more convenient; a metal filter frame 21 is fixed inside the lateral opening of the bottom monitoring groove 3, so that the monitoring accuracy of the sensing electrode can be improved and the durability can be extended.
