Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fermentation tanks, in particular to a fermentation tank system and method for producing sodium gluconate. Background Art
[0002] Sodium gluconate is widely used in industry, and fermentation tanks are required for the production of sodium gluconate by fermentation.
[0003] Fermentation tanks play a crucial role in the industrialization of microbial fermentation processes for sodium gluconate production. Energy consumption indicators for fermentation tanks are a key component of production costs. To minimize costs, companies have traditionally increased the ventilation volume and reduced the agitator speed to reduce energy consumption. This is detrimental to microbial fermentation and increases sterile air consumption. Alternatively, some companies increase tank pressure during fermentation to reduce costs, significantly increasing dissolved oxygen and reducing energy consumption. However, excessive tank pressure can affect microbial fermentation and increase air pressure, increasing the energy consumption of the air compressor. Each fermentation tank is tested for sealing before use because existing fermentation tanks are too large. When the fermented sodium gluconate mixture is released, high pressure forms at the bottom discharge port of the fermentation tank. Furthermore, the gushing out of the high-pressure mixture during discharge can impact the bottom pipeline and cause vibration at the discharge port, leading to loose mechanical parts and affecting the sealing of the discharge and fermentation tank pipelines. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Preferably, the working pressure of the cylinder is 0.05 MPa, the working pressure of the inner coil is 0.3 MPa, and the working pressure of the outer half pipe is 0.3 MPa.
[0011] Preferably, a method for using a fermentation tank system for producing sodium gluconate comprises the following steps: S1, temperature control: the fermentation raw materials are introduced into the cylinder through the component on the upper elliptical head, and the mixed gas is introduced into the cylinder through the component on the lower elliptical head and stirred to form an environment suitable for the sodium gluconate fermentation reaction in the cylinder. Then, temperature-regulated water is introduced into the inner coil and the outer half pipe through the automatic regulating valve to control the temperature inside the cylinder; S2. Discharging shockproof: When discharging, unscrew the control valve on the discharge port, and the electromagnet is energized so that the strong magnet is magnetically repelled upward. The high-pressure mixed liquid in the cylinder enters the tapered hole downward and impacts the baffle ball, causing the baffle ball to squeeze the skirt leaves downward in sequence. At the same time, springs 1 and 2 are squeezed and activated in succession, and the piston gives the baffle ball a supporting force through the connecting rod. The skirt leaves elastically support the baffle ball and release the baffle balls in sequence due to excessive pressure. When the skirt leaves gradually release the baffle balls, the mixed liquid gradually fills the discharge pipe and the buffer tank through the connecting hole. After the baffle ball is separated from the skirt leaves, the electromagnet current is reversed so that the strong magnet is magnetically attracted. The piston moves the baffle ball to the lower part of the discharge pipe through the connecting rod. The discharge pipe, tapered hole, skirt leaves, discharge pipe, buffer tank and feed pipe form a channel for uniform flow of the mixed liquid to output the mixed liquid, and the sodium gluconate fermentation mixed liquid is output; S3. Reset: After the unloading is completed and cleaned, the electromagnet is reversed again to make the electromagnet and the strong magnet repel each other. Spring 2 and spring 1 are released in sequence to make the piston upward, so that the connecting rod drives the blocking ball to squeeze the multi-layer skirt leaves in sequence, so that the blocking ball is reset to the top of the tapered hole to provide shock protection for the next unloading.
[0012] The present invention provides a fermentation tank system and method for producing sodium gluconate, which has the following beneficial effects: The present invention increases the cooling area of the outer half pipe and inner coil of the fermenter, and adds automatic control valves for the outer half pipe and inner coil to automatically control the water intake, thereby ensuring the fermentation temperature while saving cooling water and reducing inaccurate manual control and waste of circulating water. Furthermore, the addition of a steam automatic control valve automatically adjusts the steam intake, ensuring disinfection accuracy and reducing steam waste. Furthermore, the addition of a Venturi air nozzle improves gas dispersion and increases dissolved oxygen. Furthermore, the addition of an air intake automatic regulating valve automatically adjusts the air intake, ensuring the dissolved oxygen content of the fermenter while saving air intake and reducing waste. The entire system can be fully automatically controlled, saving labor costs, improving the accuracy of fermentation disinfection and fermentation control, and saving energy such as water, electricity, and gas.
[0013] The present invention unscrews the control valve on the discharge port when unscrewing, and the electromagnet is energized to cause the strong magnet to be magnetically repelled upward. The high-pressure mixed liquid in the cylinder enters the tapered hole downward and then impacts the blocking ball, causing the blocking ball to squeeze the skirt leaves downward in sequence. At the same time, spring one and spring two are squeezed and activated in succession, and the piston gives the blocking ball a supporting force through the connecting rod. The skirt leaves elastically support the blocking ball and then release the blocking balls in sequence due to excessive pressure. When the skirt leaves gradually release the blocking balls, the mixed liquid gradually fills the discharge pipe and the buffer tank through the connecting hole. After the blocking ball is separated from the skirt leaves, the electromagnet current is reversed to cause the strong magnet to be magnetically attracted. The piston causes the blocking ball to be at the lower part of the discharge pipe through the connecting rod. The discharge pipe, tapered hole, skirt leaves, discharge pipe, buffer tank and feed pipe form a channel for uniform flow of the mixed liquid to output the mixed liquid, and the sodium gluconate fermentation mixed liquid is output. The multi-layer skirt leaves are combined Spring one and spring two can effectively prevent the pressure of the baffle ball from being borne by the pipeline and the discharge port when it is impacted by the mixed liquid. At the same time, the multi-layer skirt leaves and connecting holes allow the mixed liquid to fill the discharge pipe after high pressure, thus preventing the mixed liquid from directly impacting the pipeline, the discharge pipe and the discharge port, and preventing the pipeline from loosening or reducing the sealing due to impact and heavy pressure. At the same time, when the baffle ball moves downward, the lower part is already filled with mixed liquid, so there will be no pipeline impact and vibration when the mixed liquid flows out. Combined with the electromagnet and the strong magnet, the downward elastic support of the baffle ball is improved. After that, the skirt leaves are reset through the automatic impact of the baffle ball, which ensures the automatic performance of the shockproof mechanism, and effectively offsets the high pressure formed in the discharge pipeline, avoiding loosening due to impact and vibration of the discharge port during discharge, improving the service life and ensuring the sealing.

A piston 29 is slidably provided at the lower part of the feed pipe 20, and a spring 25 is provided between the bottom of the piston 29 and the bottom of the feed pipe 20. A spring 27 shorter than the spring 25 is provided inside the spring 25, and an electromagnet 26 is provided in the spring 27. A strong magnet 28 with an N pole facing downward is provided at the bottom of the piston 29, and the strong magnet 28 is provided just above the electromagnet 26.

The tapered hole 21 is a cone with an inner diameter that gradually increases from top to bottom. A multi-layer skirt 23 is provided on the inner side of the tapered hole 21 from top to bottom. The skirt 23 is formed by connecting two semicircular elastic steel sheets. A circular cavity is formed on the inner side of the skirt 23 and the inner diameter of the circular cavity increases from top to bottom. Connecting holes 24 are provided on the skirt 23. Through the arrangement of the multi-layer skirt 23 and the connecting holes 24, the mixed liquid gradually fills the discharge pipe 20 when impacting the blocking ball 22, so that the pipeline will not cause the equipment sealing to deteriorate due to strong impact.
[0018] The piping system includes an inner coil 5 arranged in a cylinder 7 and an outer half pipe 6 arranged outside the cylinder 7. The inner coil 5 is arranged in an inverted cone-shaped spiral from top to bottom in the cylinder 7. The outer half pipe 6 and the inner coil 5 are connected by an automatic regulating valve. A cooling water outlet and a cooling water inlet are provided on the outer half pipe 6. There are multiple outer half-tubes 6, which are sleeved from top to bottom on the outside of the cylinder 7. The cross-section of the outer half-tubes 6 is semicircular, and the diameter edge is closely attached to the outer wall of the cylinder 7. The outer side of the lower elliptical head 3 is provided with a cluster seat 1 in a frame structure. The inner side of the lower elliptical head 3 is provided with a baffle 2.

The fermenter is connected to the air supply pipe 10 of the air supply equipment, as well as the circulating water, steam automatic regulating valve, air automatic regulating valve, and the control system connected thereto. In addition, the baffle 2 and cluster seat 1 and other auxiliary equipment can fully automatically control the disinfection and fermentation process. Automatic disinfection: Steam automatic regulating valves are added to the bottom of the fermenter, the steam and air inlet, and the sampling port to automatically adjust the steam intake. The automatic regulating valve is connected to the PLC control cabinet via wires, and the air intake is controlled by the program to achieve the purpose of automatic disinfection. Fermentation process control: The fermenter is cooled using internal and external coils to increase the heat exchange area. This equipment is very practical for applications with special cooling requirements. The inner coils are arranged in a ring shape, achieving both cooling and a partial flow guide.

[0021] Example 2: Reference Figure 1-4 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for using a fermentation tank system for producing sodium gluconate, comprising the following steps: S1. Temperature control: Fermentation raw materials are introduced into the cylinder 7 through the components on the upper elliptical head 3, and mixed gas is introduced into the cylinder 7 through the components on the lower elliptical head 3 and stirred to form an environment suitable for the sodium gluconate fermentation reaction in the cylinder 7. Afterwards, temperature-regulated water is introduced into the inner coil 5 and the outer half pipe 6 through the automatic regulating valve to control the temperature inside the cylinder 7. Through the mutual cooperation between the pipelines and the combination of the automatic regulating valve, the temperature inside the cylinder 7 is accurately controlled, and the control process is efficient. The automatic control valve can automatically control the water intake, which can not only ensure the fermentation temperature, but also save cooling water, reduce inaccurate manual control and waste of circulating water; add a steam automatic control valve, which can automatically adjust the steam intake, ensure disinfection accuracy, and reduce steam waste; add a venturi tube 4 to improve gas dispersion and melt oxygen, and add an air supply pipe 10 to automatically adjust the air intake, ensure the dissolved oxygen content of the fermentation tank, save air intake, and reduce waste. The entire system can be fully automatically controlled, saving labor costs, improving the accuracy of fermentation disinfection and fermentation control, and saving water, electricity, gas and other energy; S2. Discharging shockproof: When discharging, unscrew the control valve on the discharge port 12, and the electromagnet 26 is energized to make the strong magnet 28 subject to upward magnetic repulsion. The high-pressure mixed liquid in the cylinder 7 enters the tapered hole 21 downward and impacts the blocking ball 22, causing the blocking ball 22 to squeeze the skirt leaf 23 downward in turn. At the same time, the spring 1 25 and the spring 2 27 squeeze the piston 29 in turn. The piston 29 gives the blocking ball 22 a supporting force through the connecting rod 30. The skirt leaf 23 elastically supports the blocking ball 22 and releases the blocking ball 22 in turn due to excessive pressure. 2. When the skirt 23 gradually releases the blocking ball 22, the mixed liquid gradually fills the discharge pipe 20 and the buffer tank 31 through the connecting hole 24. After the blocking ball 22 is separated from the skirt 23, the current of the electromagnet 26 is reversed to make the strong magnet 28 magnetically attracted. The piston 29 makes the blocking ball 22 at the lower part of the discharge pipe 20 through the connecting rod 30. The discharge port 12, the tapered hole 21, the skirt 23, the discharge pipe 20, the buffer tank 31 and the feeding pipe 32 form a channel for uniform flow of the mixed liquid to output the mixed liquid, and the sodium gluconate fermentation The multi-layer skirt 23 and the connecting hole 24 make the mixed liquid fill the discharge pipe 20 after the high pressure, thus preventing the mixed liquid from directly impacting the discharge pipe 20 and the discharge port 12, thereby preventing the discharge pipe 20 and the discharge port 12 from loosening or reducing the sealing due to impact and heavy pressure. At the same time, when the blocking ball 22 moves downward, since the lower part is already filled with mixed liquid, there will be no pipeline impact and vibration when the mixed liquid flows out. Combined with the cooperation of the electromagnet 26 and the strong magnet 28, the downward elastic support of the blocking ball 22 is enhanced, and then the skirt 23 is reset by the automatic impact of the blocking ball 22, thereby ensuring the automatic performance of the shockproof mechanism, so that the high pressure formed in the discharge pipe 20 is effectively offset, avoiding loosening caused by impact and vibration of the discharge port 12 during discharge, thereby improving the service life and ensuring the sealing. S3. Reset: After the unloading is completed and cleaned, the electromagnet 26 is reversed again to make the electromagnet 26 and the strong magnet 28 repel each other. The spring 27 and the spring 1 25 are released in sequence to make the piston 29 upward, so that the connecting rod 30 drives the blocking ball 22 to squeeze the multi-layer skirt leaves 23 in sequence, so that the blocking ball 22 is reset to the top of the tapered hole 21 to provide shockproof for the next unloading. The electromagnet 26 is a bidirectional magnetic pole that can change the direction of current. As long as the direction of current is changed, the magnetic pole of the electromagnet 26 will change, thereby realizing the attraction and repulsion of the strong magnet 28. This belongs to the prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0022] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
