Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of devices for microbiology, in particular to an intelligent constant-pressure constant-temperature sterile air system for mycelial liquid fermentation of edible and medicinal fungi. BACKGROUND

[0002] Edible and medicinal fungi are large fleshy or gelatinous fruiting bodies of higher fungi with high nutritional and medicinal value. Wild collection cannot meet the demand for edible and medicinal fungi, so people began to cultivate edible and medicinal fungi artificially, and then cultivated edible and medicinal fungi through fermentation culture.

[0003] Fermentation culture mainly includes solid fermentation, liquid fermentation and mixed liquid fermentation, among which liquid fermentation is the most commonly used method. Liquid fermentation refers to using mycelium or fermentation broth for mass production of edible and medicinal fungi, and the process flow is test tube slant strain, shake flask strain, primary strain, secondary strain, tertiary strain and fermentation tank. The fermentation tank usually includes a tank body, and the tank body is provided with a sterile air inlet and a culture liquid filling port.

[0004] The sterile air inlet is provided on the tank body because edible and medicinal fungi are mostly aerobic fungi, such as ganoderma lucidum, grifola frondosa, hericium erinaceus, armillaria mellea and cordyceps fungi. A large amount of sterile air needs to be continuously introduced during cultivation to ensure normal growth of the strain, and the temperature of the introduced sterile air should not be lower than the fermentation culture temperature of the strain (24~32℃). Sometimes, in order to promote growth, the temperature needs to be 5℃~10℃ higher than the fermentation culture temperature of the strain. The sterile air used in the existing fermentation tank is provided by an air compressor system, most of which has no heating part or only one electric heater. The sterile air provided by the air compressor system without heating part is usually around 20℃, and in areas where the outdoor temperature can drop to below zero, the temperature can drop to below 20℃, which is lower than the fermentation culture temperature of the strain and is not conducive to the growth of the strain. The air compressor system with an electric heater consumes a lot of energy and lacks pressure control components, so the failure rate is high. In addition, if the mycelium is not intervened during growth, it will become a larger mycelium ball, and the core of the mycelium ball will lack nutrients and oxygen due to mass transfer resistance, becoming a "dead zone" and affecting the culture effect of edible and medicinal fungi.

The orientation words in the application are all described based on the definition, and do not change the represented orientation with the change of the angle of the drawing. Figure 2 As

[0022] , Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the edible and medicinal mushroom mycelium liquid fermentation intelligent constant pressure and constant temperature sterile air system provided by the present application comprises a fermentation tank 1, the fermentation tank 1 comprises an inner tank 101 and a tank cover 102 matched with the inner tank 101, an outer tank 103 is fixedly sleeved outside the inner tank 101, and a sandwich cavity 104 is formed between the outer tank 103 and the inner tank 101; a tail gas outlet 1012 is formed on the inner tank 101, an inlet 1031 and an outlet 1032 are formed on the outer tank 103, the inlet 1031 is located at the lower part of the outer tank 103, and the outlet 1032 is located at the upper part of the outer tank 103; the tail gas outlet 1012 and the outlet 1032 are both connected with the heat source inlet 201 of the heat exchanger 2 through the first pipeline 301, and the heat exchanger 2 is a jacketed heat exchanger or a plate heat exchanger. A first gas pump 3011 and an electric regulating valve are arranged on the first pipeline 301, the electric regulating valve is connected with the PID controller in control, the heat source outlet 202 of the heat exchanger 2 is connected with the gas inlet of the liquid storage tank 4 for storing concentrated liquid through the second pipeline 302, the liquid storage tank 4 is a double-layer tank, a sandwich space is formed between the inner tank body and the outer tank body, the gas inlet and the gas outlet are arranged on the outer tank body, and the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet are arranged on the inner tank body; the heat source outlet 202 of the heat exchanger 2 is also connected with the inlet 1031 of the outer tank 103; the heated gas inlet 203 of the heat exchanger 2 is connected with the compressed air pipeline 303 for conveying compressed air, one end of the compressed air pipeline 303 away from the heat exchanger 2 is connected with the gas outlet of the air compressor system, the heated gas outlet 204 of the heat exchanger 2 is connected with the gas inlet of the filter assembly 5 for sterile filtering of compressed air through the third pipeline 304, a self-operated pressure reducing valve 3041 for adjusting the medium flow in the third pipeline 304 and a temperature sensor 3042 for monitoring the temperature of the medium in the third pipeline 304 are arranged on the third pipeline 304, the temperature sensor 3042 is electrically connected with the PID controller, the gas outlet of the filter assembly 5 is connected with the air inlet of the inner tank 101 through the fourth pipeline 305, and the air inlet is located at the bottom of the inner tank 101; The temperature sensor 3042 collects the temperature of the medium in the third pipeline 304 in real time and sends it to the PID controller. When the PID controller finds that the medium temperature deviates from the preset threshold, it controls the electric regulating valve to change the opening degree to adjust the amount of tail gas entering the heat exchanger 2. Specifically, if the temperature is too low, the valve opening degree is increased to introduce more steam; if the temperature is too high, the opening degree is reduced to reduce the amount of tail gas entering, thereby forming a closed-loop regulation to ensure that the temperature of the medium in the third pipeline 304 is stable in the appropriate interval, achieving constant temperature control, and the temperature control accuracy is ±0.5℃. When the temperature deviation is >±2℃, the PID controller will control the electric regulating valve to be completely closed to cut off the heat source to avoid the impact of high-temperature or low-temperature air on the mycelium growth. After the medium in the third pipeline 304 enters the self-operated pressure reducing valve 3041, the pressure sensing element in the self-operated pressure reducing valve 3041 will monitor the pressure on the outlet side of the self-operated pressure reducing valve 3041 in real time and compare it with the preset pressure value. If the outlet pressure is lower than the set value, the pressure sensing element will drive the valve core to open to increase the airflow passage area to increase the pressure; if the pressure is higher than the set value, the valve core will be closed to reduce the pressure, and through this self-regulating mechanism, the outlet pressure is maintained at a stable level. At the same time, a safety relief valve is connected in parallel at the outlet pipeline of the pressure reducing valve. When the pressure exceeds the safety threshold due to abnormal conditions, the relief valve will automatically open to discharge the excess gas to the waste gas treatment system to prevent overpressure from damaging the pipeline or the fermentation tank 1. Through this dual mechanism of "active regulation + passive protection", the pressure of the compressed air is always stable during the entire process of being delivered to the fermentation tank, achieving constant pressure control, which not only meets the requirements of mycelium growth on the ventilation pressure, but also avoids the interference of pressure fluctuation on the gas-liquid mass transfer efficiency.

The first horn pipe 701 is provided with a protective shell 705 connected with the first horn pipe 701, the protective shell 705 is rotatably provided with an air flow baffle 706 capable of rotating around a direction perpendicular to the central axis of the first horn pipe 701, and a flexible magnetic strip 707 for magnetically connecting with the air flow baffle 706 is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the first horn pipe 701.

[0025] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 4 A stirring assembly 8 is arranged in the inner tank 101, the stirring assembly 8 comprises a rotating shaft 801 capable of rotating around the central axis of the inner tank 101 in the inner tank 101 and a motor 802 for driving the rotating shaft 801 to rotate, and a plurality of blades 803 are arranged on the rotating shaft 801.

[0026] The working principle of the present application is as follows: the compressed air discharged by the compressor enters the compressed air pipeline 303 from the compressor, and then enters the heat exchanger 2 from the heated gas inlet 203. The tail gas generated during the fermentation process is pumped into the first pipeline 301 after being discharged from the tail gas outlet 1012 by the first gas pump 3011, at this time the tail gas temperature is usually above 80℃, and the tail gas heats the compressed air after entering the heat exchanger 2 from the heat source inlet 201.

[0027] After heat exchange, the tail gas flows out from the heat source outlet 202, at this time the temperature of the tail gas is usually less than or equal to 40℃, and the tail gas can enter the interlayer space of the liquid storage tank 4 from the second pipeline 302 to heat the fermentation liquid in the liquid storage tank 4, and can also enter the interlayer cavity 104 of the outer tank 103 from the inlet 1031 of the outer tank 103 to heat the fermentation tank 1. The tail gas discharged from the interlayer space of the liquid storage tank 4 and the interlayer cavity 104 enters the waste gas treatment system.

[0028] The temperature of the heated compressed air is 24-32℃, the heated compressed air from the heated gas outlet 204 of the heat exchanger 2 enters the filter assembly 5 through the third pipeline 304, first passes through the pre-filter layer 502 for rough filtration, then passes through the post-filter layer 503 for fine filtration, and is discharged from the gas outlet of the filter assembly 5, enters the fifth pipeline 601 from the air inlet of the inner tank 101 through the fourth pipeline 305, enters the annular pipe 602, and then enters the first horn pipe 701 from the gas outlet hole, sequentially passes through the first horn pipe 701, the narrow pipe 702, and the second horn pipe 703, and is discharged from the large end of the second horn pipe 703; In this process, based on the Venturi effect, a local negative pressure area is formed in the narrow pipe 702, so that the fermentation broth at the bottom of the inner tank 101 outside the aeration assembly 7 is sucked into the narrow pipe 702 from the suction hole 7021. The conical filter screen 708 in the suction hole 7021 can reduce the suction of impurities, mycelium and other large-particle solids in the fermentation broth into the narrow pipe 702, and the waterproof and breathable membrane 704 can allow sterile air to pass through but not liquid, thereby preventing the fermentation broth from flowing into the first horn pipe 701. The fermentation broth in the narrow pipe 702 collides violently with the high-speed airflow in the narrow pipe 702 and is sheared by the high-speed airflow, which greatly increases the gas-liquid contact area and overcomes the problem of high static pressure and weak dissolved oxygen driving force in traditional aeration. At the same time, the fermentation broth is sheared to produce a large number of micron-sized microbubbles, which have a larger total surface area than large bubbles generated by traditional sterile gas, providing a larger gas-liquid mass transfer interface and increasing the gas-liquid contact area. The slow upward velocity of the microbubbles increases the residence time of the microbubbles in the fermentation broth, providing sufficient oxygen for mycelium growth in time. In addition, because the aeration assembly 7 is uniformly distributed on the annular pipe 602, each aeration assembly 7 produces microbubbles, which ensures uniform release of sterile air and microbubbles throughout the cross-section of the inner tank 101 and eliminates local oxygen deficiency areas. The large number of uniformly distributed microbubble streams can effectively break up the newly formed small mycelium clusters during the upward process, preventing them from growing into large and dense mycelium balls, allowing the mycelium to grow into a more loose and relaxed form, maintaining miniaturization, and ensuring that each mycelium can fully contact the surrounding nutrients and oxygen. Multiple aeration assemblies 7 work simultaneously to create numerous efficient local gas-liquid mixing points, greatly improving the overall oxygen dissolution rate and uniformity in the inner tank 101, providing a globally consistent and short-board-free oxygen-rich environment for mycelium growth, and laying the foundation for high-speed and synchronous metabolism. Start the motor 802, the motor 802 drives the rotating shaft 801 to rotate, and the multiple blades 803 mechanically stir the fermentation broth, improving the fermentation effect in cooperation with the aeration assembly.

[0029] When there is no sterile air into the air baffle 706 and flexible magnetic strip 707 magnetic connection with the first horn tube 701 center axis perpendicular, when there is sterile air into the sterile air will push the air baffle 706 rotation, air baffle 706 rotation 360 ° back to the initial position after again be sterile air blowing, that is, the air baffle 706 will block the sterile air into once, thus generating a similar pulse airflow, in the high pressure pulse stage, narrow tube 702 text Churley effect is strong, injection and shear a large number of liquid, produce very fine micro bubble and turbulent flow; in the low pressure pulse stage, injection effect is weakened. This strong periodic change, itself greatly promotes the mass transfer, and strong pulse in the liquid produced a periodic pressure wave, this pressure wave will continue to compress and expand the bubble, make the gas-liquid boundary layer becomes extremely unstable, greatly strengthen the oxygen dissolution rate. Pulse "jet" and "back suction" effect, the formation of the local convection, let the tank liquid mixing more uniform and thorough, eliminate any nutrient concentration gradient, finally the periodic pulse shear force and stable shear force can form physical stimulation to mycelium, up-regulation of mycelium in the synthesis of secondary metabolites related enzyme activity, effectively prevent mycelium aging, autolysis, and continue to stimulate mycelium to maintain a vigorous production state.
