Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model provides a fermentation tank capable of adjusting temperature and humidity, belonging to the technical field of fermentation devices. Background Art

[0002] Fermentation tanks are core equipment used in microbial fermentation processes in bioengineering and the food industry. They provide a controllable and optimized environment for the growth and reproduction of microorganisms. They are mainly used for large-scale production of various fermentation products, such as antibiotics, amino acids, enzyme preparations, organic acids, alcohol, vaccines, and various microbial cells; in the food industry, they are widely used in the production of baker's yeast, yogurt, wine, soy sauce, vinegar and other products.

[0003] Temperature and humidity are very important during the product fermentation process. Too high or too low temperature may cause the microorganisms to enter a dormant state, growth stagnation or death, and may even trigger abnormal metabolic pathways to produce harmful by-products. Too high humidity may promote the growth of miscellaneous bacteria, and too low humidity may cause uneven drying of the material. Both may cause biosafety problems during the fermentation process.

[0004] However, current fermentation tanks are all equipped with heating plates at the bottom or inner wall of the fermentation tank, and humidifying devices are arranged at the upper end of the interior of the fermentation tank. When the heating plates are heated, the temperature of the raw materials close to the heating plates will be hotter, while the temperature of the raw materials far from the heating plates will be lower. Moreover, when the humidifying devices are humidified, water flows downward to first wet the raw materials above and then flows to the raw materials below. If there is more water, the humidity of the lower part of the raw materials will be higher. If there is less water, the humidity of the raw materials at the lower part of the fermentation tank cannot be controlled in time. Utility Model Content

[0007] As an improvement, the inner wall of the tank body is provided with a heat insulation layer, the upper end of the tank body is provided with a detachable cover plate, the lower part of the tank body is provided with a water outlet pipe, and the water outlet pipe is provided with a valve 1;

[0008] As an improvement, the intersection of the auxiliary water pipe and the heating rod is located on the axis of the tank body;
