Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mesophilic enzyme fermentation, and more specifically to a fermentation tank for producing mesophilic enzymes. Background Art

[0002] Enzymes are an extremely important class of biological catalysts. They are proteins or RNAs produced by living cells that are highly specific and catalytically efficient for their substrates. Enzymes have distinct characteristics that are different from general catalysts. They are highly specific for their substrates, have high catalytic efficiency, and are also adjustable and unstable. Fermenters are devices for microbial fermentation and can be used for medium-temperature enzyme production.

[0003] Based on the above, the inventors found that the existing fermentation tanks lack a cleaning structure. When the fermentation work is completed and the discharge work is completed, a large amount of residues adhere to the inner surface of the fermentation tank, and these residues are not easy to clean. Therefore, in view of this, the inventors studied and improved the existing structure and provided a fermentation tank for producing medium-temperature enzymes, in order to achieve a more practical purpose. Utility Model Content

[0004] In response to the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide a fermentation tank for producing medium-temperature enzymes. This solution is equipped with a spray assembly that can be rotated and adjusted, which can quickly clean the fermentation tank and reduce the problem of residues. A sealing assembly is also provided to keep the spray assembly sealed during fermentation, avoiding contact between the gas inside and outside the fermentation tank and ensuring the fermentation effect.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions.

[0006] A fermentation tank for producing mesophilic enzymes, comprising a tank body, wherein a drive motor and a discharge valve are fixedly connected at the center of the top and bottom surfaces of the tank body, respectively, and a water pipe is fixedly connected to one side of the top surface of the tank body, and a feed pipe is fixedly connected to both sides of the middle portion of the tank body. A spray pipe is provided directly below the output end of the drive motor, a movable sleeve is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the water pipe, a support ring is fixedly connected to the outside of the spray pipe, and a plurality of nozzles are provided at the bottom end of the spray pipe, each nozzle having a sealing mechanism provided therein.

[0007] The sealing mechanism comprises a support frame, a guide rod is provided through the middle of the support frame, a sealing spring is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the guide rod, and a sealing spring is sleeved on the outer side of the top end of the guide rod.

[0008] Furthermore, a group of connecting rods are provided on the inner side of the opposite surface between the output end of the driving motor and the top of the spray pipe. The connecting rods are provided in a concave shape, and the two ends of the connecting rods are fixedly connected to the output end of the driving motor and the top of the spray pipe respectively.

[0009] Furthermore, the movable sleeve is located between the output end of the driving motor and the top end of the spray pipe, and both ends of the movable sleeve are movably connected to the output end of the driving motor and the top end of the spray pipe respectively.

[0010] Furthermore, the support ring is located on the inner side of the tank body near the upper end, and the support ring is movably connected to the tank body.

[0011] Furthermore, the support frame is located inside the nozzle, and the support frame is fixedly connected to the nozzle, and the nozzle is arranged in an inclined shape.

[0012] Furthermore, the sealing plug is snap-connected with the nozzle, and the top surface of the sealing plug is inclined.

[0013] Furthermore, both ends of the sealing spring are fixedly connected to the guide rod and the support frame respectively.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:

[0015] (1) This solution uses a water pipe with a movable sleeve to transport water to the inside of the spray pipe. The water flows to the nozzle through the spray pipe. The water impacts the sealing plug and separates it from the nozzle. The movement of the sealing plug pulls the guide rod to compress the sealing spring, so that water is sprayed out from the nozzle to clean the inside of the tank. At the same time, the spray pipe rotates. Compared with the existing technology, the provision of a spray component that can be rotated and adjusted can quickly clean the fermentation tank and reduce the problem of residue.

[0016] (2) By setting up a sealing mechanism, when the cleaning work is completed, the sealing plug loses pressure. Under the action of the sealing spring, the guide rod drives the sealing plug to reset and engage with the nozzle, so that the spray pipe is in a sealed state and remains in this state until the next fermentation work. Compared with the existing technology, the sealing component is set up to keep the spray component in a sealed state during the fermentation work, avoiding contact between the gas inside and outside the fermentation tank and ensuring the fermentation effect.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example

[0023] See also Figure 1-4 A fermentation tank for producing medium-temperature enzymes includes a tank body 1, a driving motor 2 and a discharge valve 3 are fixedly connected to the center of the top surface and the center of the bottom surface of the tank body 1 respectively, and a water pipe 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the top surface of the tank body 1, and a feed pipe 4 is fixedly connected to both sides of the middle part of the tank body 1. A spray pipe 6 is provided just below the output end of the driving motor 2, a movable sleeve 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the water pipe 5, a support ring 8 is fixedly connected to the outside of the spray pipe 6, and a plurality of nozzles 9 are provided at the bottom end of the spray pipe 6, and a sealing mechanism 10 is provided inside the nozzle 9;

[0024] The sealing mechanism 10 includes a support frame 11, a guide rod 12 is provided through the middle of the support frame 11, the bottom end of the guide rod 12 is fixedly connected to a sealing spring 14, and the top end of the guide rod 12 is sleeved with a sealing spring 14 on the outside to ensure the sealing of the fermentation tank and prevent the internal gas from reversely penetrating through the spray pipe 6.

[0025] See Figure 3 A group of connecting rods are provided on the inner side of the output end of the driving motor 2 and the opposite surface of the top of the spray pipe 6. The connecting rods are arranged in a concave shape, and the two ends of the connecting rods are fixedly connected to the output end of the driving motor 2 and the top of the spray pipe 6 respectively. The fermentation raw materials are fed into the tank body 1 through the feeding pipe 4 for fermentation. After the fermentation is completed, they are discharged through the discharge valve 3, and then the spray pipe 6 is driven to rotate by the driving motor 2.

[0026] See Figure 3 The movable sleeve 7 is located between the output end of the driving motor 2 and the top of the spray pipe 6, and the two ends of the movable sleeve 7 are movably connected to the output end of the driving motor 2 and the top of the spray pipe 6 respectively. Water is transported to the inside of the spray pipe 6 through the water pipe 5 in cooperation with the movable sleeve 7. At the same time, the movable sleeve 7 remains fixed during the rotation of the spray pipe 6.

[0027] See Figure 2 The support ring 8 is located on the inner side of the tank body 1 near the upper end, and the support ring 8 is movably connected to the tank body 1, and the support ring 8 improves the rotation stability of the spray pipe 6.

[0028] See Figure 4 The support frame 11 is located inside the nozzle 9 and is fixedly connected to the nozzle 9. The nozzle 9 is arranged in an inclined shape, and the support frame 11 plays a limiting role to ensure the sliding stability of the guide rod 12.

[0029] See Figure 4 The sealing plug 13 is snap-connected with the nozzle 9, and the top surface of the sealing plug 13 is inclined. The water source flows to the nozzle 9 through the spray pipe 6, impacting the sealing plug 13 and separating it from the nozzle 9, so that the water is sprayed out from the nozzle 9 to flush the inside of the tank body 1.

[0030] See Figure 4 The two ends of the sealing spring 14 are fixedly connected to the guide rod 12 and the support frame 11 respectively. The movement of the sealing plug 13 pulls the guide rod 12 to compress the sealing spring 14. When the cleaning work is completed, the water supply is stopped. At this time, the sealing plug 13 loses pressure. Under the action of the sealing spring 14, the guide rod 12 drives the sealing plug 13 to reset and engage with the nozzle 9, so that the spray pipe 6 is in a sealed state.

[0031] After the fermentation is completed, the water is discharged through the discharge valve 3, and then the water pipe 5 cooperates with the movable sleeve 7 to transport water to the inside of the spray pipe 6. The water flows to the nozzle 9 through the spray pipe 6. The water impacts the sealing plug 13 and separates from the nozzle 9. The movement of the sealing plug 13 pulls the guide rod 12 to compress the sealing spring 14, so that the water is sprayed out from the nozzle 9 to clean the inside of the tank 1. During the flushing process, the spray pipe 6 is driven to rotate by the driving motor 2 to expand the spray range and improve the cleaning effect. At this time, the movable sleeve 7 remains fixed and continues to transport water. When the cleaning work is completed, the water supply is stopped. At this time, the sealing plug 13 loses pressure. Under the action of the sealing spring 14, the guide rod 12 drives the sealing plug 13 to reset and engage with the nozzle 9, so that the spray pipe 6 is in a sealed state, ensuring the sealing of the fermenter and preventing internal gas from reversely penetrating through the spray pipe 6.
