[0032] The present invention is described in detail below, and the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] The present invention provides a fermentation tank for preparing N-acetylglucosamine by improvement. The technical scheme of the present invention is:

[0034] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a fermentation tank for preparing N-acetylglucosamine, including a fermentation tank body 1, and also includes a separation mechanism arranged at the center of the fermentation tank body 1. The separation mechanism includes a circulation cylinder 101 fixed to the bottom end of the inner side of the fermentation tank body 1 and a circulation motor 104 installed at the bottom end of the outer side of the fermentation tank body 1, and the upper and lower ends of the circulation cylinder 101 are respectively provided with a plurality of liquid outlets 103 and liquid inlets 102, and the inner side of the circulation cylinder 101 is located at the middle section. A plurality of blocking rings 109 are evenly spaced and arranged, and each blocking ring 109 is provided with a blocking surface 110 at the lower side position.

[0035] A rotating shaft 105 extending into the interior of the circulating drum 101 is fixed to the driving end of the circulating motor 104, a plurality of centrifugal plates 108 arranged in a circle are fixed to the outer side of the rotating shaft 105 at the middle position, and a second spiral blade 107 and a first spiral blade 106 are fixed to the outer side of the rotating shaft 105, the second spiral blade 107 and the first spiral blade 106 are respectively located at the upper and lower ends of the rotating shaft 105, and a liquid surface cleaning mechanism is also provided at the upper end of the circulating drum 101.

[0036] Furthermore, a plurality of suspended matter collecting rings 111 arranged alternately with the blocking rings 109 are arranged on the inner side of the circulation cylinder 101, a plurality of accommodating cavities 112 are arranged inside each suspended matter collecting ring 111, and each suspended matter collecting ring 111 is made of sponge material.

[0037] Impurities with smaller particles will penetrate into the pores of the sponge material of the suspended matter collection ring 111, and impurities with larger particles will enter the accommodating chamber 112, thereby collecting the separated impurities and preventing the impurities from circulating into the fermentation tank body 1 again, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the fermentation liquid inside the fermentation tank body 1.

[0038] Further, the liquid surface cleaning mechanism includes a cover 201 fixed to the upper end of the circulation drum 101, and an extension shaft 202 is rotatably inserted at the upper end of the cover 201, and a reduction transmission mechanism is arranged between the extension shaft 202 and the rotating shaft 105. A collar 203 is sleeved on the outer side of the extension shaft 202, and two suspended matter collecting mechanisms arranged in a circumference are arranged on both sides of the collar 203. The suspended matter collecting mechanism includes a suspension block 204 fixed to one side of the collar 203, a transposition motor 205 is installed at one end of the suspension block 204, and a first roller 206, a second roller 207 and a third roller 208 are rotatably connected at the middle section of the suspension block 204, and an adhesive belt 209 is rotatably sleeved on the outer sides of the first roller 206, the second roller 207 and the third roller 208, and the driving end of the transposition motor 205 is fixedly connected to the end of the third roller 208.

[0039] The liquid surface cleaning mechanism can collect impurities with low density floating on the fermentation liquid surface, maintain the cleanliness of the fermentation liquid surface, and further improve the production purity of N-acetylglucosamine. In addition, it can also prevent impurities on the liquid surface from blocking oxygen from dissolving into the fermentation liquid, thereby ensuring that the microorganisms in the fermentation liquid can produce N-acetylglucosamine more efficiently, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0040] Furthermore, a plurality of blocking strips 210 are evenly fixed on the outer side of the adhesive belt 209 .

[0041] The blocking of the blocking bar 210 can prevent the impurities adhering to the outer side of the adhesion belt 209 from sliding back to the surface of the fermentation liquid, thereby achieving the cleaning of the impurities at the liquid surface.

[0042] Furthermore, the collar 203 is slidably connected to the outer side of the extended shaft 202 , and a buoyancy tube 211 is provided on the lower side of each suspension block 204 .

[0043] As the fermentation liquid level rises and falls, the buoyancy cylinder 211 can keep the lower side of the suspension block 204 of the suspended matter collecting mechanism just in contact with the fermentation liquid surface, thereby ensuring that the impurities floating on the fermentation liquid surface are fully collected.

[0044] Furthermore, the upper surface of each suspension block 204 is inclined, and the cross-sectional shape of the adhesive belt 209 is the same as the cross-sectional shape of the suspension block 204 .

[0045] The upper surfaces of the suspension blocks 204 are inclined at an angle so as to scoop up the impurities floating on the surface of the fermentation liquid without affecting the normal flow of the fermentation liquid, thereby achieving the collection of the floating impurities.

[0046] Furthermore, the reduction transmission mechanism includes a first driving gear 213 fixed to the upper end of the rotating shaft 105, a second driven gear 212 fixed to the lower end of the extended rotating shaft 202, and an intermediate shaft 214 rotatably connected to the inner side of the cover shell 201, and a second driving gear 215 and a first driven gear 216 are respectively fixed to the outer ends of the intermediate shaft 214, the second driving gear 215 is meshed with the second driven gear 212, and the first driven gear 216 is meshed with the first driving gear 213, the number of teeth of the first driving gear 213 is smaller than that of the first driven gear 216, and the number of teeth of the second driving gear 215 is smaller than that of the second driven gear 212.

[0047] The extended shaft 202 of the liquid cleaning mechanism is driven to rotate smoothly at a slower speed through the reduction transmission mechanism, thereby driving the two suspended matter collecting mechanisms to move slowly along the fermentation liquid surface to prevent the floating impurities on the liquid surface from being dispersed due to excessive speed, thereby affecting the impurity collection.

[0048] Furthermore, two rotating horizontal plates 217 are fixed on both sides of the ring 203, and a fixed column 218 is fixed at one end of the two rotating horizontal plates 217. A gathering plate 219 is fixed at the lower end of the two fixed columns 218. The two gathering plates 219 are both arc-shaped structures, and the two gathering plates 219 are arranged in a circle. The two rotating horizontal plates 217 and the two suspended blocks 204 are staggered.

[0049] When the extended rotating shaft 202 and the sleeve ring 203 rotate, the two rotating horizontal plates 217 can be driven to rotate accordingly, thereby driving two circumferentially arranged gathering plates 219 to rotate accordingly. Moreover, the gathering plates 219 are in an arc-shaped structure. Therefore, when the gathering plates 219 move along the liquid surface, the impurities at the edge can be gathered to the center, thereby facilitating the suspended matter collection mechanism to collect and clean the impurities more efficiently.

[0050] Furthermore, a stirring motor 2 is installed at the upper end of the outer side of the fermentation tank body 1, and a plurality of stirring brackets 3 located inside the fermentation tank body 1 are fixed to the outer side of the driving end of the stirring motor 2, and a stirring rod 4 is fixed to the lower end of each stirring bracket 3.

[0051] The stirring motor 2 drives the multiple stirring brackets 3 at the driving end to rotate, and the multiple stirring brackets 3 drive the multiple stirring rods 4 to rotate, stirring the fermentation liquid inside the fermentation tank body 1, so that the yeast and other raw materials are fully mixed to produce the required N-acetylglucosamine.

[0052] Working principle: When in use, raw materials for preparing N-acetylglucosamine, such as glucose, acetic anhydride, yeast, etc. are put into the fermentation tank body 1, and the stirring motor 2 is driven to rotate multiple stirring brackets 3 at the driving end, and the multiple stirring brackets 3 drive multiple stirring rods 4 to rotate, so as to stir the fermentation liquid inside the fermentation tank body 1, so that the yeast and other raw materials are fully mixed to produce the required N-acetylglucosamine.

[0053] During fermentation, useless impurities such as polysaccharides and proteins will be produced in the fermentation liquid. These impurities tend to aggregate into agglomerated impurities in the fermentation liquid. Impurities with high density will be suspended or precipitated inside the fermentation liquid, while impurities with low density will float on the surface of the fermentation liquid, which will not only affect the purity of the preparation of N-acetylglucosamine, but also affect the normal growth of related yeasts and the process of producing N-acetylglucosamine, thereby affecting the preparation efficiency of N-acetylglucosamine.

[0054] The circulation motor 104 controlling the separation mechanism drives the rotating shaft 105 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 105 drives the first spiral blade 106 and the second spiral blade 107 at both ends thereof to rotate. The first spiral blade 106 rotates to suck the fermentation liquid at the bottom of the fermentation tank body 1 into the inner bottom of the circulation barrel 101 through multiple liquid inlets 102. With the continuous rotation of the first spiral blade 106, the fermentation liquid inside the circulation barrel 101 can be transported to flow continuously to the upper end. At the same time, the second spiral blade 107 rotates to transport the fermentation liquid inside the circulation barrel 101 to the upper part of the fermentation tank body 1 through the liquid outlet 103, so that the fermentation liquid continuously circulates at the upper and lower ends of the inner side of the fermentation tank body 1. At the same time, with the stirring and coordination of multiple stirring rods 4, the fermentation liquid at each position inside the fermentation tank body 1 can flow through the inner side of the circulation barrel 101. The rotating shaft 105 rotates while driving the multiple centrifugal plates 108 on the outside thereof to rotate. The multiple centrifugal plates 108 drive the fermentation liquid flowing through the inner side of the circulation barrel 101 to rotate at high speed. The impurities with higher density suspended in the fermentation liquid or precipitated at the bottom rotate with the fermentation liquid at high speed, so the impurities will gather at the inner side wall of the circulation barrel 101, thereby achieving the separation of impurities and fermentation liquid. Since the inner side of the circulation barrel 101 is provided with multiple blocking rings 109 at equal intervals at the middle position, and the inner side of each blocking ring 109 is provided with a blocking surface 110 at the lower side position, the blocking surface 110 will block the lumped impurities from continuing to flow to the upper end of the circulation barrel 101 with the fermentation liquid, and under the blocking effect of the blocking surface 110, these lumped impurities will be attached to the inner side of each suspended matter collection ring 111. Since a plurality of accommodating cavities 112 are provided inside each suspended matter collecting ring 111, and each suspended matter collecting ring 111 is made of sponge material, impurities with smaller particles will penetrate into the pores of the sponge material of the suspended matter collecting ring 111, and impurities with larger particles will enter the accommodating cavity 112, thereby collecting the separated impurities and preventing the impurities from circulating into the fermentation tank body 1 again, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the fermentation liquid inside the fermentation tank body 1, thereby improving the production efficiency of yeast and the preparation purity of N-acetylglucosamine.

[0055] The rotation of the rotating shaft 105 drives the first driving gear 213 of the reduction transmission mechanism to rotate, and the first driving gear 213 drives the first driven gear 216 to rotate through the meshing of teeth, and the first driven gear 216 drives the second driving gear 215 to rotate through the intermediate shaft 214, and the second driving gear 215 drives the second driven gear 212 to rotate, thereby driving the extension shaft 202 of the liquid surface cleaning mechanism to rotate. Since the number of teeth of the first driving gear 213 is less than that of the first driven gear 216, and the number of teeth of the second driving gear 215 is less than that of the second driven gear 212, the rotation speed of the extension shaft 202 is less than that of the rotating shaft 105, thereby ensuring that the extension shaft 202 of the liquid surface cleaning mechanism rotates smoothly at a slower speed. Since the sleeve ring 203 is slidably connected with the outer side of the extension shaft 202, a buoyancy cylinder 211 is provided on the lower side of each suspension block 204, and the buoyancy cylinder 211 can float on the liquid surface of the fermentation liquid. The buoyancy cylinder 211 can keep the lower side of the suspension block 204 of the suspension collection mechanism just in contact with the liquid surface of the fermentation liquid. The extension shaft 202 drives the two suspension collection mechanisms to rotate, and the rotation direction is consistent with the inclination direction of the upper surface of the suspension block 204. Therefore, when the suspension block 204 and the adhesion belt 209 of the suspension collection mechanism move along the liquid surface, the impurities floating on the liquid surface can be adhered to the outer side of the adhesion belt 209, and at the same time, the impurities adhered to the outer side of the adhesion belt 209 can be prevented from sliding back to the liquid surface of the fermentation liquid through the blocking of the baffle 210, thereby realizing the cleaning of the impurities on the liquid surface. To further ensure the purity of N-acetylglucosamine preparation, the transposition motor 205 can intermittently rotate at a smaller angle, driving the third roller 208 to rotate at the same angle. The third roller 208 drives the adhesion belt 209 to rotate at a certain angle, and the impurities located on the outside of the adhesion belt 209 near the first roller 206 can be moved to the high place where the third roller 208 is located following the rotation of the adhesion belt 209, so that the impurities are evenly adhered to the outside of the adhesion belt 209, more impurities can be collected, and the cleanliness of the fermentation liquid surface is ensured.

[0056] When the extended shaft 202 and the collar 203 of the liquid surface cleaning mechanism rotate, the two rotating horizontal plates 217 can be driven to rotate accordingly, thereby driving two circularly arranged gathering plates 219 to rotate accordingly. Moreover, the gathering plates 219 are in an arc-shaped structure. Therefore, when the gathering plates 219 move along the liquid surface, the impurities at the edge can be gathered to the center, thereby facilitating the suspended matter collection mechanism to collect and clean the impurities more efficiently.

[0057] The above description enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but will conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
