Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of fermentation equipment, and particularly relates to a microbial fermentation buffer tank with an adjustable inner cavity space size. Background Technique

[0002] A microbial fermentation buffer tank is a device used in the process of microbial fermentation. There are many disadvantages in the current microbial fermentation buffer tank. First of all, the problem that the inner cavity space size cannot be adjusted is relatively prominent. Due to the use of a fixed tank structure in design and manufacturing, it is impossible to flexibly change the inner cavity space according to actual production needs, resulting in poor adaptability in fermentation production of different scales. The reason for this is the limitation of traditional design concepts and the standardized manufacturing mode adopted to reduce costs. In response to this shortcoming, the conventional method is to prepare multiple buffer tanks with different volumes to meet the needs of different production scales. However, this method has obvious drawbacks. On the one hand, purchasing multiple buffer tanks increases the equipment cost and floor area, causing great pressure on the enterprise's capital and site resources. On the other hand, in actual operation, switching between different buffer tanks will increase the complexity and time cost of operation, reducing production efficiency. Moreover, the existence of multiple buffer tanks also increases the difficulty of maintenance and management, requiring more manpower and material resources, and may also affect the consistency and stability of production due to the differences between different buffer tanks. Therefore, a new structure needs to be proposed to solve the above technical problems. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] Aiming at the deficiencies of the existing technology, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a microbial fermentation buffer tank with an adjustable inner cavity space size to solve the problems put forward in the above background technique.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, two second mounting blocks are symmetrically installed on the inner surface of the first mounting block. A sliding rod is installed between the two second mounting blocks. The adjusting plate is installed through and slidably on the outer surface of the sliding rod. A second sealing gasket is installed at the connection of the mounting member to the fermentation tank. When in use, during small-scale experimental fermentation, the inner cavity space can be reduced through the adjusting assembly, reducing the consumption of materials and energy and lowering costs.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: a microbial fermentation buffer tank with adjustable internal cavity space size, including: a fermentation tank 100 and an adjustment component. A tank cover 110 is installed on the upper side surface of the fermentation tank 100. A first feed pipe 120, a second feed pipe 160, and a third feed pipe 170 are respectively installed on the upper side surface of the tank cover 110 and the outer side surface of the fermentation tank 100. Support legs 150 are installed on the outer side surface of the fermentation tank 100. A pressure valve 190 and a pressure gauge 140 are respectively installed on the upper side surface of the tank cover 110 and the outer side surface of the fermentation tank 100. A discharge pipe 180 is installed on the lower side surface of the fermentation tank 100. Adjustment components are symmetrically installed inside the fermentation tank 100. The adjustment components include: a mounting member 200, a pull plate 210, a pull rod 220, an adjustment plate 270, and a sliding member. The adjustment plate 270 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the fermentation tank 100 through the sliding member. A pull rod 220 is installed on the outer side surface of the adjustment plate 270. One end of the pull rod 220 away from the adjustment plate 270 is installed with a pull plate 210. The pull rod 220 penetrates through the surface of the mounting member 200.

[0020] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , as the first embodiment of the present utility model, three support legs 150 are evenly installed on the lower side edge of the outer side surface of the fermentation tank 100. A first feed pipe 120 is installed at the center position of the upper side surface of the tank cover 110. Hanging plates 130 are symmetrically installed on the upper side surface of the tank cover 110. The second feed pipe 160 and the third feed pipe 170 are respectively installed on the upper side edge and the lower side edge of the outer side surface of the fermentation tank 100 in a staggered manner;

[0021] A discharge pipe 180 is installed at the center position of the lower side surface of the fermentation tank 100. A valve is provided at the connection of the discharge pipe 180, the second feed pipe 160, and the third feed pipe 170 to the fermentation tank 100. A pressure gauge 140 is installed on the upper side edge of the outer side surface of the fermentation tank 100;

[0022] During use, the user can first put the raw materials to be fermented into the fermenter 100 through the first feed pipe 120, the second feed pipe 160, and the third feed pipe 170. Since there are the first feed pipe 120, the second feed pipe 160, and the third feed pipe 170, it can adapt to the feeding requirements of different raw materials, improve the controllability of fermentation, and facilitate the timely addition of specific supplementary raw materials according to different stages of the fermentation process, which helps to optimize the fermentation effect. At the same time, the pressure valve 190 can automatically release pressure when the pressure in the tank is too high, ensuring the safety of the fermentation process. The pressure gauge 140 displays the pressure in the tank in real time, which helps the operator accurately understand the pressure state in the fermenter 100 and adjust the operation parameters in a timely manner.

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , as the second embodiment of the present utility model, two mounting members 200 are symmetrically installed at the center position of the outer surface of the fermenter 100. Two pull rods 220 are installed through the surface of the mounting member 200. The outer ends of the pull rods 220 are connected to the pull plate 210, and the inner surface of the pull plate 210 abuts against the outer surface of the mounting member 200;

[0024] The inner ends of the pull rods 220 are connected to the center position of the outer surface of the adjusting plate 270. The sliding member includes: a first mounting block 230, a second mounting block 240, a first sealing gasket 250, and a sliding rod 260. Two first mounting blocks 230 are symmetrically installed on the inner wall of the fermenter 100, and a first sealing gasket 250 is installed on the inner surface of the first mounting block 230;

[0025] Two second mounting blocks 240 are symmetrically installed on the inner surface of the first mounting block 230. A sliding rod 260 is installed between the two second mounting blocks 240. The adjusting plate 270 is installed through and slidably on the outer surface of the sliding rod 260. A second sealing gasket 280 is installed at the connection between the mounting member 200 and the fermenter 100;

[0026] When in use, when it is necessary to expand the space inside the fermentation tank 100, the user can pull the two pull plates 210 on the front surface of the mounting member 200 at this time, so that the pull plates 210 drive the pull rods 220 to be pulled out. At this time, when the pull rods 220 are pulled out, the adjusting rod will move along the sliding rod 260, so that the adjusting plate 270 moves outward, thereby increasing the space inside the fermentation tank 100. After both adjusting plates 270 are pulled by the pull rods 220, the space inside the fermentation tank 100 is increased to the maximum. On the contrary, the user pushes the pull plate 210 so that the inner surface of the pull plate 210 abuts against the front surface of the mounting member 200, thereby adjusting the space inside the fermentation tank 100 to the minimum. When the space inside the fermentation tank 100 is adjusted to the minimum, the user can fix the pull plate 210 and the mounting member 200 through an additional fixing fixture (the fixture is a prior art, and its selection conforms to the structure of this device. Its specific working principle and structure will not be elaborated here), preventing the gas generated inside the fermentation tank 100 from pushing the adjusting plate 270 and thus changing the space size. Since during small-scale experimental fermentation, the inner cavity space can be reduced through the adjusting component, reducing the consumption of materials and energy and lowering costs. During large-scale production, the inner cavity space can be expanded through the adjusting component to meet the fermentation requirements of a large amount of materials.

[0027] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
