Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of microbial fermentation, in particular to a constant temperature fermentation tank. Background Art

[0002] Microbial fermentation refers to the process of using microorganisms, under appropriate conditions, to convert raw materials through specific metabolic pathways into products desired by humans. The level of microbial fermentation production depends primarily on the genetic characteristics of the strain itself and the culture conditions. Microorganisms encompass a broad group of organisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, small protozoa, and microscopic algae. These tiny organisms interact closely with humans, encompassing a wide range of both beneficial and harmful species, and are widely involved in a wide range of fields, including food, medicine, industry, agriculture, and environmental protection.

[0003] In the winemaking process, existing fermentation tanks typically use double-layered tanks with internal stirring blades for agitation. Because microbial fermentation generates heat, the temperature inside the tank rises. Therefore, cooling water is introduced into the outer layer to maintain the fermentation temperature. When the ambient temperature is too low, hot water is introduced into the outer layer to maintain the fermentation temperature. This heating method creates a temperature difference between the outer and inner sides of the fermentation tank, making it difficult to achieve uniform heating and cooling. Summary of the Invention

A through hole is opened on the connecting ring, and the connecting ring is located below the water inlet pipe.

[0014] Furthermore, in order to prevent the water level inside the middle pipe from being too low, the water supply mechanism further includes a water supply pipe, and the water supply pipe is located above the flow guide.

[0036] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are simplified schematic diagrams that illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner.

[0037] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" and the like indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.

[0038] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, a constant temperature fermentation tank comprises a tank body 1 on which a water supply mechanism 2 and a constant temperature stirring mechanism are provided.

[0040] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the water supply mechanism 2 includes a circulating water cooling assembly 21, which includes a semiconductor cooling plate 211. The cooling surface and the heat dissipation surface of the semiconductor cooling plate 211 are both provided with a water tank 212, and the water tank 212 is sealed by a cover. The water tank 212 includes a water inlet end 213, a water outlet end 214, and fins 215 arranged from the water inlet end 213 to the water outlet end 214. A flow plate 216 is provided between the water inlet end 213 and the end of the heat sink. When water enters the water inlet end 213, due to the obstruction of the flow plate 216, the water will first accumulate between the flow plate 216 and the water inlet end 213 until the water level exceeds the flow plate 216. The water then flows evenly through the flow plate 216 to the rear fins 215, removes heat through the fins 215, and is finally discharged from the water outlet end 214. Here, the water tank 212 on the cooling surface is connected to the water flowing through the constant temperature stirring mechanism, while the water tank 212 on the heat dissipation surface is connected to another water source, which is unrelated to the circulating water of the constant temperature stirring mechanism.

[0041] The circulating water flowing through the constant temperature stirring mechanism will enter the water tank 212 and be cooled by the semiconductor refrigeration plate 211. The specific flow mode of the circulating water will be further explained below in conjunction with the constant temperature stirring mechanism.

[0042] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the constant temperature stirring mechanism includes a stirring assembly 3, which includes an outer tube 31 driven and rotated by a drive unit and a middle tube 32 arranged inside the outer tube 31. The drive unit includes a servo motor and a reducer. The servo motor drives the reducer, which is connected to a timing belt, which drives the outer tube 31 to rotate. Deep groove ball bearings, plane bearings, and fixing clamps are also provided to ensure the stable rotation of the outer tube 31.

[0043] The water supply mechanism 2 includes a first water supply pipe 22 and a first water extraction pipe 23. The first water supply pipe 22 extends into the upper end of the outer tube 31 and is above the middle tube 32. The first water extraction pipe 23 is inserted into the middle tube 32 and is spaced apart from the bottom of the middle tube 32. The water level in the outer tube 31 is higher than the water level in the middle tube 32. The outer tube 31 is connected to a stirring blade 33, which has a circulation channel therein. The circulation channel connects the outer tube 31 and the middle tube 32, so that water in the outer tube 31 flows from top to bottom through the circulation channel and then flows out of the middle tube 32. The water is cooled by the circulating water refrigeration component 21, and then enters the outer tube 31 through the first water supply pipe 22. The water in the outer tube 31 will enter the stirring blade 33, and return to the middle tube 32 through the stirring blade 33. The first water extraction pipe 23 extracts the water in the middle tube 32 and enters the circulating water refrigeration component 21 for cooling. This cycle forms continuous stirring and function of the stirring component 3.

[0044] The stirring blades 33 include two layers of spaced spiral blades, the outer edges of which are sealed by a spiral tube to form a circulation channel. The upper ends of the spiral blades are connected to an inlet pipe 34 connected to the outer tube 31, and the lower ends are connected to an outlet pipe 35 connected to the middle tube 32. The inlet pipe 34 and the outlet pipe 35 are each provided with an opening facing the circulation channel. The inlet pipe 34 is located below the middle tube 32, and the outlet pipe 35 is located below the connecting ring 37. When the water level in the outer tube 31 is higher than the inlet pipe 34, water will enter the spiral blades along the inlet pipe 34, flow downward along the circulation channel, and enter the lower part of the middle tube 32 from the outlet pipe 35. The water level in the middle tube 32 gradually rises until it reaches the first pumping pipe 23, from which the water is pumped out.

[0045] The outer tube 31 includes a flow guide 36 located at the upper end of the middle tube 32. This flow guide 36 has a flow channel 361. The first water supply pipe 22 is inserted into this flow channel 361, with the outlet of the flow channel 361 close to the inner wall of the outer tube 31. Water flowing out of the outlet of the flow channel 361 flows downward along the inner wall of the outer tube 31, entering the outer tube 31 along the flow channel 361. The first water extraction pipe 23 extends through the flow guide 36 into the middle tube 32. A water level sensor 39 is provided on the first water extraction pipe 23. The flow guide 36 does not contact the inner wall of the outer tube 31, and the outlet faces the inner wall of the outer tube 31. After flowing out of the outlet, the water flows downward along the outer tube 31, gradually filling the outer tube 31, and then completing the water circulation according to the flow path described above.

[0046] The upper end of the middle tube 32 is provided with an overflow port 321. When the water level in the outer tube 31 is higher than the overflow port 321, water flows into the middle tube 32 through the overflow port 321. If the water level in the outer tube 31 is too high, water will flow into the middle tube 32 through the overflow port 321. The water in the middle tube 32 is then discharged through the first pumping pipe 23. Because there is a constant water level difference between the outer tube 31 and the middle tube 32 (i.e., the water level in the outer tube 31 is higher than that in the middle tube 32), the water in the outer tube 31 continuously flows into the middle tube 32 through the stirring blades 33, accelerating the flow rate by utilizing the water level difference.

[0047] A connecting ring 37 is provided at the lower end of the middle tube 32. The connecting ring 37 is sealed to the inner wall of the outer tube 31. A through hole 371 is provided on the connecting ring 37. The connecting ring 37 is located below the water inlet pipe 34. Since the water in the upper half of the outer tube 31 will enter the stirring blade 33, in order to prevent the water at the bottom of the outer tube 31 from being unable to participate in the circulation flow, a plurality of smaller through holes 371 are provided on the connecting ring 37. The water at the bottom of the outer tube 31 will flow downward from the through holes 371. The bottom of the connecting ring 37 happens to be the water inlet of the middle tube 32. A small water flow will form at the bottom of the outer tube 31 and the bottom of the middle tube 32, ensuring that water flows are formed at the bottom of the outer tube 31 and the bottom of the middle tube 32, thereby preventing the bottom of the outer tube 31 from becoming stagnant water and thus avoiding uneven water temperature inside the outer tube 31.

[0048] A positioning ring 38 is sleeved around the center of the middle tube 32. This ring is fitted with a clearance fit against the inner wall of the outer tube 31 and includes a notch 381 for water flow. This notch 381 ensures coaxial installation of the middle and outer tubes 32 and 31, while maintaining a symmetrical connection. The notch 381 does not interfere with water flow in the outer tube 31.

[0049] The water supply mechanism 2 also includes a water replenishment pipe 26, located above the flow guide 36. When the water level in the outer tube 31 is insufficient, water is replenished through the water replenishment pipe 26. The first water supply pipe 22, the first water extraction pipe 23, and the water replenishment pipe 26 are connected to independent connecting components and are not directly connected to the outer tube 31. Therefore, rotation of the outer tube 31 does not affect these pipes.

[0050] like Figure 7As shown, the constant temperature stirring mechanism also includes a plurality of U-shaped circulation pipes 4 located in the outer edge area of ​​the tank body 1, and the U-shaped circulation pipes 4 are evenly spaced around the center of the tank body 1. The tank body 1 is provided with an inner water tank 11 and an outer water tank 12 separated from each other, and there is a water level difference between the inner water tank 11 and the outer water tank 12. The two ends of the U-shaped circulation pipe 4 extend into the inner water tank 11 and the outer water tank 12 respectively. The inner water tank 11 is used as the water inlet tank and the outer water tank 12 is used as the water pumping tank for explanation. The constant temperature stirring mechanism also includes a second water supply pipe 24 connected to the inner water tank 11 and a second water pumping pipe 25 connected to the outer water tank 12. The second water supply pipe 24 is evenly spaced along the circumference of the inner water tank 11. Since the inner water tank 11 and the outer water tank 12 are annular structures, the second water supply pipe 24 is distributed at multiple points to ensure uniform water supply. The water in the second water supply pipe 24 enters the inner water tank 11, and the water in the inner water tank 11 will enter the U-shaped circulation pipe 4. The water enters the inner water tank 11 along the U-shaped circulation pipe 4, and is pumped out through the second water pumping pipe 25 and enters the circulating water refrigeration component 21. The water is cooled by the circulating water refrigeration component 21 and then flows into the inner water tank 11, thereby realizing the water circulation in the U-shaped circulation pipe 4.

[0051] A baffle 13 is provided between the inner water tank 11 and the outer water tank 12. The baffle 13 is provided with an overflow hole 14 so that overflow can occur when the water level in either water tank is too high. A water temperature sensor and a water level sensor are provided in the inner water tank 11 and / or the outer water tank 12.

[0052] After the water enters the inner water tank 11 and outer tube 31, it needs to be temperature-tested at a higher water level to ensure the circulating water's temperature. Heating rods can also be installed on the first and second water supply pipes 22, 24 to meet the fermenter's heating requirements. After the circulating water has flowed, it needs to be temperature-tested at the corresponding outlet to determine the internal tank temperature and ensure effective cooling.

[0053] All water supply and pumping in the present invention need to be done through a water pump. The location of the water pump is set according to needs and has no direct relationship with the inventive concept of the present invention, so it will not be repeated here.

[0054] In summary, the constant temperature fermentation tank of the present invention cools the interior of the tank while stirring through the stirring assembly, and adopts the principle of liquid level difference to realize continuous circulation of cooling water, so that the fermentation tank is kept in a constant temperature state.

[0055] The above description is intended to serve as a guide for the preferred embodiments of the present invention. Based on the above description, relevant personnel are fully capable of making various changes and modifications without departing from the technical scope of the present invention. The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents of the specification and must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
