Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of fermentation, and in particular relates to a microorganism rapid expansion and cultivation device for aquaculture. Background Art
[0002] Microbial fermentation is a type of biological culture. The microorganisms cultured primarily include viruses, bacteria, actinomycetes, and fungi. Microbial fermentation involves preparing specific culture media based on the specific microorganisms and their living habits, and then cultivating them in incubators or fermentation tanks.
[0003] Common fermentation tanks can be divided into the following types according to their materials
[0004] 1. Ordinary fermentation tank
[0005] Conventional fermentation tanks are typically made of plastic. Their principle is to use vents in the tank to control the flow of oxygen inside, thereby promoting microbial fermentation. These fermentation tanks are primarily suitable for fermenting small quantities of food. They are relatively inexpensive and easy to use. However, their disadvantages include being heat-resistant, easily damaged, and difficult to clean.
[0006] 2. Glass Fermentation Tank
[0007] Glass fermentation tanks are made of a transparent material. Their principle is to control the flow of oxygen inside the tank through the vent holes on the tank body, promoting the fermentation of microorganisms. At the same time, because the bottom of the glass tank can project light, the fermentation process can be observed very clearly. Disadvantages: Glass material is easy to break and is relatively expensive.
[0008] 3. Ceramic Fermentation Tank
[0009] Ceramic fermentation tanks are specialized tanks fired at high temperatures. They rely on microbial fermentation to thrive on their surface, and the microorganisms produced by the tank itself contribute to improved fermentation quality. These tanks are generally heavy, requiring special attention to their stability during use. The tanks harbor microorganisms, are heavy, and require considerable effort to transport, necessitating a high investment.
[0010] 4. Stainless steel fermentation tank
[0011] Stainless steel fermentation tanks are rigid, non-deformable fermentation equipment made of stainless steel. Their principle is to utilize a specially treated steel surface and designed vents to regulate oxygen flow within the tank, promoting fermentation. This provides excellent rigidity, resistance to deformation, and ease of cleaning. However, stainless steel fermentation tank systems, consisting of a steam boiler, air compressor, air freeze dryer, and propagation tanks, are complex, require a large floor space, are expensive, heavy, and difficult to transport.
[0012] In addition to factors such as structure, volume and cost, the above-mentioned fermentation tanks also require professional fermentation technicians to operate, and are not suitable for aquaculture farmers to ferment bacteria on-site for aquaculture. Utility Model Content
[0013] The utility model aims to solve the problems that stainless steel fermentation tank systems have complex structures, large floor space, high prices, heavy weight, are inconvenient to carry, require professional technicians to operate, and the aeration plates of current fermentation tanks are easily clogged. The utility model proposes a rapid microbial expansion device for aquaculture.
[0014] The utility model discloses a rapid microbial expansion and cultivation device for aquaculture, comprising a fermentation tank, an aeration plate, a heating pipe, an air inlet pipe, an inoculation port, a feed port, a manhole and a discharge port;
[0015] The aeration plate is located at the bottom of the fermentation tank, the air inlet of the aeration plate is connected to the air outlet of the air inlet pipe, and the air inlet of the air inlet pipe is arranged outside the fermentation tank; a discharge port is provided at the bottom of the fermentation tank, a feed port and a manhole are respectively provided at the top, and a heating pipe is provided inside the fermentation tank.
[0016] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] The present invention is different from existing fermentation tanks, especially stainless steel fermentation tanks. The fermentation tank of the present invention does not adopt a stirring mechanism, but plays a stirring role through the aeration plate / aeration beads provided, and can increase dissolved oxygen to be more conducive to microbial culture. Therefore, the present invention achieves the dual effects of stirring and increasing dissolved oxygen by providing an aerator. The air compressor is connected to the air inlet pipe to ventilate the fermentation tank. The heating pipe controls the temperature through the control box to achieve the purpose of sterilizing the culture medium and controlling the temperature during the expansion culture process. The "S"-shaped exhaust pipe can achieve effective exhaust while preventing miscellaneous bacteria in the external air from entering the tank and causing contamination.
[0018] The gas blown out from the transverse air outlets on both sides of the vertical air outlet of the aeration plate of the present invention can continuously sweep away the microbial fermentation products scattered on the vertical air outlet, such as residues, flocs, etc., thereby reducing the probability of blockage.
[0019] This utility model replaces the stirring mechanism with an aeration disc / aeration bead, reducing the weight of the fermentation tank. Heating tubes replace high-pressure steam sterilization and temperature control, reducing investment costs. The accompanying fermentation process is easy to operate, and microbial growth is rapid, making it convenient for farmers to use for on-site fermentation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
