Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of lactic acid bacteria fermentation technology, specifically a lactic acid bacteria fermentation device for preparing extracellular polysaccharides. Background Technology
[0002] Extracellular polysaccharides of lactic acid bacteria are secondary metabolites produced during the growth and metabolism of lactic acid bacteria. They can loosely adhere to the cell surface, called capsular polysaccharides, or be directly secreted into the extracellular environment, called mucopolysaccharides. Both capsular and mucopolysaccharides are collectively referred to as extracellular polysaccharides, products of microbial adaptation to environmental changes. Because lactic acid bacteria are widely recognized as safe food-grade microorganisms, their extracellular polysaccharides are also considered to have good biocompatibility. They are diverse, widely sourced, and possess various structural and functional properties, finding wide application in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries.
[0003] Lactic acid bacteria strains from different sources exhibit significant differences in the yield and structural characteristics of extracellular polysaccharides under different growth and fermentation conditions. These differences affect the physicochemical properties, biological activity, and applications of extracellular polysaccharides. For some aerobic lactic acid bacteria strains, strains located in the center of the cell have difficulty contacting air during fermentation, resulting in a slower fermentation rate and thus affecting the overall preparation speed of lactic acid bacteria.

Ventilation holes are formed at the top and bottom of the portion of the hollow tube located inside the cylindrical groove. A sliding tube is slidably fitted on the outside of the hollow tube. Sealing plates are provided at the top and bottom of the sliding tube. A reversing mechanism is also provided inside the cylindrical groove.

[0008] Furthermore, the reversing mechanism also includes two second magnets respectively embedded in the top and bottom of the cylindrical groove, and the magnetic poles on opposite sides of the two second magnets are the same.
[0009] Furthermore, a fixing rod is provided at the top of the fixing shaft between the first magnet and the gear, and an arc-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing rod around the gear. Limiting plates are provided on the side wall of the cylindrical groove near the top of each first magnet.
[0010] Furthermore, the stirring mechanism includes multiple stirring blades, and the end of each stirring blade near the air supply pipe is rotatably connected to the air supply pipe.

At the same time, during the rotation of the air supply pipe, the stirring mechanism stirs the lactic acid bacteria liquid, further improving the uniformity of air dispersion, thereby further increasing the fermentation speed of lactic acid bacteria.

[0017] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.
[0018] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the present invention provides a lactic acid bacteria fermentation device for preparing extracellular polysaccharides, including a fermentation tank 1, a tank cover 101 on the top of the fermentation tank 1, a feed inlet 102 and an exhaust valve 103 on the top of the tank cover 101, a discharge outlet 104 on the bottom of the fermentation tank 1, and also includes an air supply mechanism 2 and a stirring mechanism 3. At the start of fermentation, the lactic acid bacteria liquid is added into the fermentation tank 1 through the inlet 102. After fermentation is completed, it is discharged through the outlet 104. During this process, the fermentation speed of the lactic acid bacteria is increased by the gas supply mechanism 2 and the stirring mechanism 3. Excess gas in the fermentation tank 1 is discharged through the exhaust valve 103. It should be noted that both the inlet 102 and the outlet 104 are equipped with baffles, and the opening and closing of the inlet 102 and the outlet 104 can be controlled as needed.
[0019] The gas supply mechanism 2 includes a gas supply pipe 201 installed through the center of the tank cover 101 and a gas pump 202 installed on the top of the tank cover 101. The gas pump 202 is connected to the top of the gas supply pipe 201 via a conduit, and the conduit and the gas supply pipe 201 are rotatably connected. A cylindrical block 203 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the gas supply pipe 201. An exhaust pipe 204 is connected to the outside of the cylindrical block 203. A cylindrical groove 205 is opened inside the cylindrical block 203, and a hollow core is installed in the center of the cylindrical groove 205. The hollow tube 206 is connected to the exhaust pipe 204. The top end of the hollow tube 206 is rotatably connected to the cylindrical block 203, and the bottom end passes through the cylindrical block 203 and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fermentation tank 1. Ventilation holes 207 are provided at the top and bottom of the part of the hollow tube 206 located inside the cylindrical groove 205. A sliding tube 208 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the hollow tube 206. Sealing plates 209 are provided at the top and bottom of the sliding tube 208. A reversing mechanism 4 is also provided inside the cylindrical groove 205. The stirring mechanism 3 includes stirring blades 301 disposed outside the air supply pipe 201.
[0020] During the lactic acid bacteria fermentation process, air is injected into the air supply pipe 201 through the air pump 202. The air then enters the hollow pipe 206 from the air supply pipe 201, and then enters the cylindrical groove 205 through the vent holes 207 at the top or bottom of the hollow pipe 206. Finally, it enters the exhaust pipe 204 from the cylindrical groove 205 and is discharged into the fermentation tank 1, thereby providing the lactic acid bacteria with the oxygen required for fermentation. At the same time, the stirring mechanism 3 can stir the lactic acid bacteria liquid, so that the air can be fully dispersed into the lactic acid bacteria liquid, so that the lactic acid bacteria in all parts of the fermentation tank 1 can obtain the required oxygen.
[0021] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, there are two sets of exhaust pipes 204, and the two sets of exhaust pipes 204 are arranged in a staggered circumference around the cylindrical block 203. The two sets of air supply pipes 201 are connected to the cylindrical groove 205 from the top and bottom of the cylindrical block 203, respectively. The bottom of each air supply pipe 201 is provided with an air outlet 210 at an incline, and the air outlets 210 provided on the two sets of air supply pipes 201 are in opposite directions.
[0022] When air is discharged from the outlet 210, the gas will generate a reaction force on the exhaust pipe 204. Since the outlet 210 is inclined, the reaction force will cause the exhaust pipe 204 to rotate. Since the bottom outlets 210 of different sets of exhaust pipes 204 are inclined in opposite directions, when air is discharged from the bottom outlets 210 of different sets of air supply pipes 201, the exhaust pipe 204 will drive the air supply pipe 201 to rotate in different directions.
[0023] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the reversing mechanism 4 includes an installation groove 401 opened on the outer wall of the slide tube 208. A fixed shaft 402 is fixedly arranged at the center of the installation groove 401. A gear 403 is rotatably installed on the outer side of the fixed shaft 402 away from the inner wall of the installation groove 401. A first magnet 404 is fitted on the surface of the fixed shaft 402 inside the installation groove 401. The gear 403 and the first magnet 404 are fixedly connected by a connecting plate 405. The reversing mechanism 4 also includes an arc-shaped rack 406 arranged on the side wall of the cylindrical groove 205. There are two arc-shaped racks 406. The projection positions of the two arc-shaped racks 406 on the horizontal plane and their heights in the vertical direction are staggered. Both arc-shaped racks 406 can mesh with the gear 403.
[0024] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the reversing mechanism 4 further includes two second magnets 407 respectively embedded in the top and bottom of the cylindrical groove 205, and the magnetic poles of the two second magnets 407 on opposite sides are the same.
[0025] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a fixing rod 5 is provided at the top of the fixing shaft 402 between the first magnet 404 and the gear 403. An arc-shaped plate 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing rod 5 around the gear 403. A limiting plate 7 is provided on the side wall of the cylindrical groove 205 at a position close to the top of each first magnet 404. The distance between the limiting plate 7 and the arc-shaped rack 406 can accommodate the arc-shaped plate 6 and the gear 403 to enter while maintaining the meshing between the gear 403 and the arc-shaped rack 406.
[0026] The gas discharge is controlled by the reversing mechanism 4. Since the first magnet 404 is located between the two second magnets 407, and the magnetic poles of the two second magnets 407 are the same on opposite sides, one end of the first magnet 404 attracts the opposite pole of one of the second magnets 407, and the other end repels the like pole of the other second magnet 407. This causes the first magnet 404 to drive the slide tube 208 to remain at the top / bottom of the cylindrical groove 205, thereby sealing the vent 207 at the top / bottom of the hollow tube 206. After that, air can only enter the cylindrical groove 205 from the bottom / top of the hollow tube 206. The air enters from the cylindrical groove 205 and flows into a set of exhaust pipes 204 that connect to the cylindrical block 203 from the bottom / top. It then exits from the outlet 210 at the bottom of the same set of exhaust pipes 204. During the air expulsion process, the reaction force causes the exhaust pipes 204 to rotate the cylindrical block 203 relative to the slide tube 208 until the gear 403 meshes with the arc-shaped rack 406 at a higher / lower position. Afterward, the cylindrical block 203 continues to rotate, and under the action of the arc-shaped rack 406, the gear 403 rotates along with the cylindrical block 203. The gear 403 drives the first gear fixedly connected to it... As the first magnet 404 rotates and flips, the limiting plate 7 restricts the arc-shaped plate 6 from moving downwards or upwards, thus keeping the gear 403 engaged with the arc-shaped rack 406. This continues until the first magnet 404 flips 180 degrees, at which point the gear 403 separates from the arc-shaped rack 406 and leaves the area of the limiting plate 7. Because the magnetic poles at both ends of the first magnet 404 are reversed after the 180-degree flip, the second magnet 407, which was previously repelled by it, will attract it, while the previously attracted magnets will repel it. This causes the first magnet 404 to move the slide tube 208. The cylinder moves downwards / upwards, thereby sealing the vent 207 at the bottom / top of the hollow tube 206, allowing air to be discharged from the outlet 210 at the bottom of another set of exhaust pipes 204. This causes the cylindrical block 203 to begin to reverse until the gear 403 meshes with the arc-shaped rack 406 at a lower / higher position. The rotation process of the first magnet 404 is then repeated, creating a continuous cycle that causes the exhaust pipe 204 to perform forward and reverse rotations. During this rotation, the position of the air discharged from the lactic acid bacteria liquid is continuously changed, thereby further improving the uniformity of air dispersion within the lactic acid bacteria liquid.
[0027] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, there are multiple stirring blades 301 in the stirring mechanism 3, and the end of each stirring blade 301 near the air supply pipe 201 is rotatably connected to the air supply pipe 201. The multiple stirring blades 301 are parallel to each other and are equidistantly distributed in the vertical direction. The stirring mechanism 3 also includes a pull rod 302 and a connecting rod 303. The two ends of the pull rod 302 are respectively connected to the can cover 101 and the stirring blades 301 near the can cover 101 through ball joints. The connecting rod 303 is arranged parallel to the air supply pipe 201 and is rotatably connected to each stirring blade 301.
[0028] As the exhaust pipe 204 drives the cylindrical block 203 to rotate continuously in both directions, the air supply pipe 201 also rotates synchronously. The air supply pipe 201 drives the stirring blades 301 to rotate continuously around the air supply pipe 201. During this process, since the stirring blades 301 are adjacent to each other through the connecting rod 303 and form a parallelogram structure with the air supply pipe 201, and the top stirring blades 301 are connected to the can lid 101 through the pull rod 302, the connection point between the pull rod 302 and the stirring blades 301 changes continuously, while the connection point between the pull rod 302 and the can lid 101 does not change, and the length of the pull rod 302 does not change. The pull rod 302 will simultaneously pull the stirring blades 301 to tilt upwards, thereby increasing the stirring range of the stirring blades 301 and effectively improving the uniformity of the mixing between air and lactic acid bacteria liquid.
[0029] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a heater 8 for heating the gas passing through the conduit is provided in the middle of the conduit.
[0030] The heater 8 can heat the air passing through the conduit, thereby increasing the air temperature injected into the lactic acid bacteria solution and maintaining the temperature of the lactic acid bacteria solution within a suitable range.
[0031] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the top and bottom of the mounting groove 401 are provided with sliding grooves 9, and springs 10 and spherical blocks 11 are installed inside the sliding grooves 9. The spherical blocks 11 are slidably connected to the sliding grooves 9, and the spherical blocks 11 are located near the opening of the sliding grooves 9. The ends of the two poles of the first magnet 404 are provided with limiting grooves 12, and the limiting grooves 12 correspond to the positions of the spherical blocks 11.
[0032] During the rotation of gear 403 between the two arc-shaped racks 406, the spherical block 11 is embedded in the limiting groove 12 under the action of spring 10, which can keep the magnet stable. At the same time, when gear 403 meshes with arc-shaped racks 406, the spherical block 11 can be easily squeezed into the slide groove 9 by the groove wall of the limiting groove 12.
[0033] Specific working principle: At the start of fermentation, the lactic acid bacteria liquid is added into the fermentation tank 1 through the feed inlet 102. After fermentation is completed, it is discharged from the discharge outlet 104. During this process, the fermentation speed of the lactic acid bacteria is increased by the gas supply mechanism 2 and the stirring mechanism 3, and the excess gas in the fermentation tank 1 is discharged through the exhaust valve 103.
[0034] The gas discharge is controlled by the reversing mechanism 4. Since the first magnet 404 is located between the two second magnets 407, and the magnetic poles of the two second magnets 407 are the same on opposite sides, one end of the first magnet 404 attracts the opposite pole of one of the second magnets 407, and the other end repels the like pole of the other second magnet 407. This causes the first magnet 404 to drive the slide tube 208 to remain at the top / bottom of the cylindrical groove 205, thereby sealing the vent 207 at the top / bottom of the hollow tube 206. After that, air can only enter the cylindrical groove 205 from the bottom / top of the hollow tube 206. The air enters from the cylindrical groove 205 and flows into a set of exhaust pipes 204 that connect to the cylindrical block 203 from the bottom / top. It then exits from the outlet 210 at the bottom of the same set of exhaust pipes 204. During the air expulsion process, the reaction force causes the exhaust pipes 204 to rotate the cylindrical block 203 relative to the slide tube 208 until the gear 403 meshes with the arc-shaped rack 406 at a higher / lower position. Afterward, the cylindrical block 203 continues to rotate, and under the action of the arc-shaped rack 406, the gear 403 rotates along with the cylindrical block 203. The gear 403 drives the first gear fixedly connected to it... As the first magnet 404 rotates and flips, the limiting plate 7 restricts the gear 403 from moving downwards or upwards, thus keeping the gear 403 engaged with the arc-shaped rack 406. This continues until the first magnet 404 flips 180 degrees, at which point the gear 403 separates from the arc-shaped rack 406 and leaves the area of the limiting plate 7. Because the magnetic poles of the first magnet 404 are reversed after the 180-degree flip, the second magnet 407, which was previously repelled by it, will attract it, while the previously attracted magnets will repel it. This causes the first magnet 404 to move the slide tube 208. The cylinder moves downwards / upwards, thereby sealing the vent 207 at the bottom / top of the hollow tube 206, allowing air to be discharged from the outlet 210 at the bottom of another set of exhaust pipes 204. This causes the cylindrical block 203 to begin to reverse until the gear 403 meshes with the arc-shaped rack 406 at a lower / higher position. The rotation process of the first magnet 404 is then repeated, creating a continuous cycle that causes the exhaust pipe 204 to perform forward and reverse rotations. During this rotation, the position of the air discharged from the lactic acid bacteria liquid is continuously changed, thereby further improving the uniformity of air dispersion within the lactic acid bacteria liquid.
[0035] As the exhaust pipe 204 drives the cylindrical block 203 to rotate continuously in both directions, the air supply pipe 201 also rotates synchronously. The air supply pipe 201 drives the stirring blades 301 to rotate continuously around the air supply pipe 201. During this process, since the stirring blades 301 are adjacent to each other through the connecting rod 303 and form a parallelogram structure with the air supply pipe 201, and the top stirring blades 301 are connected to the can lid 101 through the pull rod 302, the connection point between the pull rod 302 and the stirring blades 301 changes continuously, while the connection point between the pull rod 302 and the can lid 101 does not change, and the length of the pull rod 302 does not change. The pull rod 302 will simultaneously pull the stirring blades 301 to tilt upwards, thereby increasing the stirring range of the stirring blades 301 and effectively improving the uniformity of the mixing between air and lactic acid bacteria liquid.
