Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of pet probiotic preparation production, in particular to a fermentation production device for pet probiotic preparation. Background Art

[0002] In the production of pet probiotics, solid fermentation has become a commonly used method for preparing pet probiotics due to its simple operation, low cost and efficient conversion ability of complex substrates. This method uses solid matrix (such as bran, corn flour, etc.) as a nutrient source for microbial growth, and ferments under specific temperature, humidity and pH conditions to produce pet probiotics rich in probiotics and their metabolites.

[0003] During the fermentation process of pet probiotics, microbial respiratory metabolism produces gaseous metabolites including carbon dioxide, volatile organic acids and a small amount of ammonia. The accumulation of these metabolites in the fermentation tank will have an adverse effect on the growth environment of the microorganisms, such as increasing the pH value and inhibiting the activity of probiotics. Therefore, the discharge of these gaseous metabolites is one of the key steps to ensure the smooth progress of the fermentation process. At present, exhaust fans or other gas discharge equipment are usually used to achieve the discharge of gaseous metabolites in the fermentation tank. Since the solid matrix is ​​stacked in the fermentation tank, it is difficult to efficiently and fully discharge the metabolic gas inside the solid matrix, especially in the deep area; in addition, the oxygen supply during the fermentation process of pet probiotics also has the above-mentioned problems. Oxygen is directly injected into the fermentation tank through the oxygen supply pipe. It is difficult for oxygen to quickly and evenly penetrate into the solid matrix, resulting in uneven oxygen distribution, which in turn affects the fermentation effect and product quality.

[0004] Therefore, the present invention proposes a fermentation production device for pet probiotics to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0005] The embodiment of the present invention aims to provide a fermentation production device for pet probiotics to solve the above problems.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

The fermentation production device also comprises a pushing mechanism for pushing a solid matrix to discharge metabolic gases, wherein after the solid matrix is ​​pushed to discharge metabolic gases, oxygen is transported into the tank body through the oxygen supply pipe, and at the same time, the hollow part rotates and the tank body reciprocates and is deflected to disperse the solid matrix.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present invention are as follows:

[0016] When it is necessary to discharge the metabolic gas of the microorganisms, the solid matrix is ​​pressed by the pushing mechanism to compress it, thereby displacing the metabolic gas existing inside the solid matrix, and promoting the efficient and sufficient discharge of the metabolic gas.

It is necessary to point out here that the following specific implementation methods are only used to further illustrate the present application and cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Technical personnel in this field can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0027] See also Figure 1 to Figure 3 A fermentation production equipment for pet probiotics includes a tank body 1 and a tank cover 2 arranged on the tank body 1, the tank body 1 reciprocates, and a rotating hollow part 6 is provided at one end of the tank body 1 away from the tank cover 2, and pipes 11 are evenly arranged on the hollow part 6, and air outlet holes 15 are evenly arranged on the pipes 11. An oxygen supply pipe 7 is also provided on the hollow part 6. The fermentation production equipment also includes a pushing mechanism 8 for pushing a solid matrix to discharge metabolic gases. After pushing the solid matrix to complete the metabolic gas discharge, oxygen is transported to the tank body 1 through the oxygen supply pipe 7. At the same time, the hollow part 6 rotates and the tank body 1 reciprocates to disperse the solid matrix.

[0028] It should be noted that a monitoring module 5 is also provided on the tank body 1, and the monitoring module 5 integrates temperature monitoring, pressure monitoring, humidity monitoring and oxygen content monitoring functions. The operator performs corresponding exhaust, oxygen supply and other operations according to the monitoring data; the oxygen is supplied from the outside, enters the hollow part through the oxygen supply pipe 7, and then is diverted into each pipe 11 and discharged through the air outlet 15. In addition, the oxygen supply pipe 7 is a hose, which is coaxial with the hollow part 6 and rotatably connected to meet the deflection requirements of the tank body 1 and the rotation requirements of the hollow part 6; the fermentation production equipment also includes a humidity control unit for controlling the fermentation humidity, a temperature control unit for controlling the fermentation temperature and a corresponding control unit, which are prior arts and will not be elaborated here.

[0029] The solid matrix inoculated with the bacterial strain is put into the tank body 1 (a feeding port is provided on the tank cover 2. After the fermentation is completed, the fermented bacterial agent is discharged by opening the tank cover 2) for fermentation. During the fermentation process, when it is necessary to discharge the metabolic gas of the microorganisms, the solid matrix is ​​pressed by the pushing mechanism 8 to compress it, thereby displacing the metabolic gas existing inside the solid matrix, so as to promote the efficient and sufficient discharge of the metabolic gas. After the metabolic gas is discharged, oxygen is transported to the tank body 1 through the oxygen supply pipe 7 (oxygen will also be discharged when the metabolic gas is discharged, and oxygen supplementation is required) At the same time, the hollow member 6 rotates and the tank body 1 reciprocates, the rotation of the hollow member 6 drives the pipe 11 to stir the solid matrix, and the reciprocating deflection of the tank body 1 causes the solid matrix in the tank body 1 to surge back and forth, so that the solid matrix after being pushed quickly recovers to a loose state; when injecting oxygen, the hollow member 6 rotates and the tank body 1 reciprocates to deflect, so that the solid matrix surges, and oxygen is supplied through the multiple pipes 11 evenly distributed in the tank body 1, and the supplied oxygen is discharged from the inside of the solid matrix, so that it can quickly and fully penetrate the solid matrix, so that the oxygen is evenly distributed, and the fermentation effect is guaranteed.

[0030] Furthermore, a cache chamber 3 is provided on the tank cover 2, and an exhaust port 4 and a through groove 12 connected to the tank body 1 are provided on the cache chamber 3. A filter plate 13 (to block the solid matrix) is provided in the through groove 12. A certain amount of fermentation liquid will be produced during the fermentation process of the solid matrix. When the metabolic gas is pushed and discharged, a certain amount of fermentation liquid may precipitate. Both the fermentation liquid and the metabolic gas will enter the cache chamber 3 through the through groove 12. The fermentation liquid entering the cache chamber 3 stays in the cache chamber 3, while the metabolic gas is discharged through the exhaust port 4. After the metabolic gas is discharged, the fermentation liquid returns to the tank body 1 through the through groove 12.

[0031] Furthermore, a ceramic membrane 16 and a one-way valve 17 are provided in the air outlet 15. The ceramic membrane 16 only allows gas to pass through, while solids and liquids cannot pass through. The one-way valve 17 only allows oxygen to be discharged from the pipe 11, thereby preventing metabolic gases, solid matrix particles, and liquids such as fermentation liquid from entering the pipe 11.

[0032] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4In one embodiment of the present invention, the pushing mechanism 8 includes a pressing plate 801 arranged in the tank body 1, a connecting member 803 arranged on the side of the hollow member 6, and a threaded rod 804 arranged on the hollow member 6. Each of the pipe fittings 11 passes through the pressing plate 801, and the side of the pressing plate 801 is in contact with the inner wall of the tank body 1. The threaded rod 804 passes through the connecting member 803 in a threaded manner. A push rod 802 is provided on the connecting member 803. One end of the push rod 802 away from the connecting member 803 seals and passes through the hollow member 6 and is connected to the pressing plate 801. The pushing mechanism 8 also includes a first driving member 805 arranged on the hollow member 6 for driving the threaded rod 804 to rotate (the first driving member 805 is a servo motor, a reduction motor or other device in the prior art, which is not limited here).

[0033] In this embodiment, the first driving member 805 drives the threaded rod 804 to rotate and drive the connecting member 803 to move toward / away from the hollow member 6, and then the push rod 802 drives the pressing plate 801 to push the solid matrix and reset.

[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the curvature of the ceramic membrane 16 toward the outside is consistent with the curvature of the outer side of the pipe 11, and the end of the pipe 11 away from the hollow part 6 is flush with the end of the tank body 1 away from the hollow part 6. After the fermentation is completed, the tank cover 2 is opened, and the pressing plate 801 is driven to move away from the hollow part 6 to quickly push the solid matrix out of the tank body 1 to complete the discharge; in addition, since the pressing plate 801 moves in contact with the inner wall of the tank body 1, and the hole formed by the pressing plate 801 being penetrated by the pipe 11 moves in contact with the outer wall of the pipe 11, the fermentation While the good solid matrix is ​​pushed out of the tank body 1, the solid matrix adhered to the inner wall of the tank body 1 and the pipe fitting 11 is scraped off, so that the solid matrix is ​​completely discharged, and the inside of the tank body 1 and the pipe fitting 11 are cleaned at the same time; it should be noted that the pressing plate 801 stops when it moves to the side away from the hollow part 6 and the end of the pipe fitting 11 away from the hollow part 6. The operator can clean up the solid matrix adhered to the side of the pressing plate 801 away from the hollow part 6 and the end of the pipe fitting 11 away from the hollow part 6.

[0035] Furthermore, in this embodiment, an elastic rubber ring 14 is provided on the pressure plate 801 and in the hole formed by the pressure plate 801 penetrated by the pipe 11, which plays a sealing role to prevent gas and liquid from penetrating. At the same time, since the ceramic membrane 16 is relatively precise, it is in full contact with the pipe 11 through the elastic rubber ring 14, thereby preventing the ceramic membrane 16 from being scratched by the hole formed by the pressure plate 801 penetrated by the pipe 11.

[0036] See also Figure 1In one embodiment of the present invention, the fermentation production equipment also includes a driving mechanism 9 for realizing the rotation of the hollow part 6, and the driving mechanism 9 includes a ring gear 901 provided on the hollow part 6 and a second driving member 902 provided on the tank body 1 (the second driving member 902 is a servo motor, a reduction motor or other device in the prior art, which is not limited here), and the output shaft end of the second driving member 902 is provided with a gear 903 meshing with the ring gear 901.

[0038] In this embodiment, when the hollow member 6 rotates, the ends of several support members 1002 cyclically and alternately contact and abut against the base 1001 to lift the other end of the tank body 1 away from the top plate 1003. When the end of the support member 1002 is separated from the support member 1002, the top plate 1003 lifts one end of the tank body 1 away from the hollow member 6 under the action of the extrusion spring 1005, and this cycle is repeated to achieve reciprocating deflection of the tank body 1.
