[0038] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0039] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5In the first embodiment of the present utility model, an air inlet device is provided, comprising a heat exchange section 10 and a heat exchanger 20. The heat exchange section 10 has a heat exchange inlet, a heat exchange outlet, and a heat exchange cavity 11 connected to the heat exchange inlet and the heat exchange outlet. The heat exchange section 10 also has a disassembly and installation port 12. The heat exchange inlet and the heat exchange outlet are both spaced apart from the disassembly and installation port 12. The disassembly and installation port 12 is connected to the heat exchange cavity 11. The heat exchanger 20 is movably arranged at the disassembly and installation port 12. The shape of the heat exchanger 20 is adapted to the shape of the disassembly and installation port 12. The heat exchanger 20 has a heat exchange position extending into the heat exchange cavity 11 and a disassembly position extending from the heat exchange cavity 11.
[0040] By adopting such a setting, by movably setting the heat exchanger 20 at the disassembly installation port 12 between the heat exchange inlet and the heat exchange outlet, the hot air flow can be cooled by the fluid with a lower temperature in the heat exchanger 20 when the air flow passes through the heat exchanger 20, which can effectively reduce the air flow temperature. At the same time, since the heat exchanger 20 can be detachably set, when the heat exchanger 20 is damaged by heat or has low efficiency, it is also convenient to extract the heat exchanger 20 for inspection or replacement. Therefore, the air intake device in this embodiment can solve the technical problem of excessive temperature in the fermentation filter in the prior art.
[0041] In this embodiment, the heat exchange section 10 further includes a blocking member 13, which is movably arranged at the disassembly and installation opening 12, and has a blocking position for shielding the disassembly and installation opening 12 and a avoiding position for avoiding the disassembly and installation opening 12. With such a setting, when the blocking member 13 is in the blocking position, it can ensure that a closed space is formed in the air inlet device, thereby effectively ensuring the normal progress of the fermentation process; and when the efficiency of the heat exchanger 20 is reduced or damaged, the heat exchanger 20 can be repaired or replaced by placing the disassembly and installation opening 12 in the avoiding position, which can ensure the normal operation of the air inlet device.
[0042] Specifically, the heat exchange section 10 further includes a main shell 14 and a guide shell 15. The main shell 14 encloses a heat exchange chamber 11, and the guide shell 15 is connected to the main shell 14. The guide shell 15 protrudes from the main shell 14, and a disassembly and installation port 12 is provided on the guide shell 15. The guide shell 15 is adapted to the shape of the heat exchanger 20, and the blocking member 13 is movably arranged to extend out of or into the guide shell 15. With such an arrangement, the movement of the heat exchanger 20 can be guided and supported by the arrangement of the guide shell 15, thereby preventing the heat exchanger 20 from falling during the movement.
[0043] It should be noted that the main housing 14 is preferably an annular housing, and the guide housing 15 is preferably a square housing.
[0044] In this embodiment, the heat exchange section 10 further includes a support roller 16, which is disposed at the bottom of the heat exchange chamber 11, extends along a first preset direction, and is rotatably disposed around the first preset direction. There are multiple support rollers 16, and the multiple support rollers 16 are disposed at intervals along a second preset direction. With such an arrangement, the friction of the heat exchanger 20 during transportation can be reduced by the support rollers 16, which can make it easier to transport the heat exchanger 20.
[0045] Specifically, the heat exchange section 10 further includes a reinforcement frame 17, which is connected to the main shell 14 and is disposed in the heat exchange cavity 11. The reinforcement frame 17 forms a vent that matches the shape of the heat exchanger 20. With such a configuration, the reinforcement frame 17 can effectively enhance the structural strength at the heat exchange outlet, thereby reducing the impact of airflow on the heat exchange section 10.
[0046] The reinforcing frame 17 includes a reinforcing plate 171 and reinforcing ribs 172 . The reinforcing plate 171 is connected to the inner surface of the outflow end of the heat exchange section 10 . A flow opening is provided on the reinforcing plate 171 . The reinforcing ribs 172 are provided around the flow opening.
[0047] In this embodiment, the air inlet device further includes a water retaining member 18, which is disposed at the bottom of the heat exchange section 10, protruding from the inner wall of the heat exchange section 10, and located on a side of the heat exchanger 20 close to the heat exchange outlet. With such a configuration, the water retaining member 18 can prevent the situation in which, when the heat exchanger 20 leaks, the liquid flows downstream through the heat exchange outlet and affects the fermentation.
[0048] Specifically, the air inlet device further includes an inlet section 30, the outflow end of the inlet section 30 is connected to the heat exchange inlet, and the inflow end of the inlet section 30 is connected to the air supply pipe. The inlet section 30 is provided with an assembly port; the inlet section 30 further includes a filter 31, the size of the filter 31 is adapted to the size of the assembly port, and the filter 31 is detachably arranged on the inlet section 30 through the assembly port. With such an arrangement, the airflow entering the air inlet device can be preliminarily filtered by the filter 31, so that the airflow is cleaner and the fermentation effect is ensured.
[0049] In this embodiment, the disassembly and installation opening 12 is arranged on the circumferential surface of the heat exchange section 10, and the disassembly and installation opening 12 is arranged between the heat exchange inlet and the heat exchange outlet. With such an arrangement, the heat exchanger 20 installed in the disassembly and installation opening 12 can also be located between the heat exchange inlet and the heat exchange outlet, so that the heat exchange effect of the heat exchanger 20 can be enhanced.
[0050] Alternatively, the flow area of the inlet section 30 gradually increases from the inlet end of the inlet section 30 to the outlet end of the inlet section 30. With such a configuration, the gas flow rate passing through the heat exchanger 20 can be increased to enhance the heat exchange effect of the heat exchanger 20.
[0051] Alternatively, the disassembly and installation port 12 can be arranged on the circumferential surface of the heat exchange section 10, and the flow area of the inlet section 30 can be gradually increased from the inlet end of the inlet section 30 to the outlet end of the inlet section 30. With such an arrangement, the heat exchange effect of the heat exchanger 20 can be further improved.
[0052] In this embodiment, the inflow end of the inflow section 30 is detachably connected to the air supply pipe. With such a configuration, it is convenient to inspect and repair the inflow section 30 side, thereby ensuring the air intake stability of the air intake device.
[0053] Alternatively, one end of the heat exchange section 10 is detachably connected to the structure to be connected. With such a configuration, the air inlet device can be disconnected from the structure to be connected in time when a failure occurs, so as to avoid affecting subsequent fermentation.
[0054] Alternatively, the inflow end of the inflow section 30 can be detachably connected to the air supply pipe while one end of the heat exchange section 10 can be detachably connected to the structure to be connected. This arrangement can further prevent the subsequent processes from being affected by a failure of the air inlet device.
[0055] In the second embodiment of the present invention, a fermentation system is provided, comprising the air inlet device in the first embodiment.
[0056] From the above description, it can be seen that the above-mentioned embodiments of the utility model achieve the following technical effects: by providing a detachable heat exchanger 20, the airflow can be cooled when passing through the heat exchanger 20, thereby ensuring that the temperature of the airflow entering the fermentation filter is reduced, which can solve the technical problem of excessive temperature in the fermentation filter in the prior art.
