[0026] The following describes in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, an integrated detachable fermentation feeding bottle according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0027] For easier understanding, please refer to Figures 1 to 2 An embodiment of the integrated detachable fermentation feeding bottle provided by this utility model includes:

[0028] Several detachable canisters 1, the outer wall of the canister 1 is provided with a cover 2, and the canister 1 is made of transparent material;

[0029] The bottom of the tank body 1 is provided with a replenishment bottle bottom 3, and the top of the tank body 1 is provided with a replenishment bottle cap 4. A rotation and disassembly mechanism is provided between the replenishment bottle bottom 3 and the replenishment bottle cap 4. The rotation is used to realize the disassembly and installation of several tank bodies 1.

[0030] The rotating disassembly mechanism includes a mounting groove 31 at the bottom of the refill bottle 3 and a T-shaped matching head 41 fixedly connected to the top of the refill bottle cap 4.

[0031] It should be noted that the tank 1 is made of a transparent material, such as transparent plastic or glass, to facilitate observation of the state and volume of the liquid inside. This transparency helps researchers monitor the replenishment process at any time, ensuring the smooth progress of the experiment. Tank 1 can be configured with different capacities according to actual needs and supports the stacking of multiple tanks 1. The height and diameter of each tank 1 must be compatible to ensure stability and sealing during stacking. The bottom of tank 1 is equipped with a replenishment bottle bottom 3, and the top is equipped with a replenishment bottle cap 4. The two are quickly disassembled and installed using a T-shaped matching head 41 and a mounting slot 31. Specifically, the T-shaped matching head 41 is inserted into the mounting slot 31 and rotated 90 degrees to lock; for disassembly, rotating 90 degrees in the opposite direction easily separates them. This design not only simplifies the operation process but also improves work efficiency.

[0032] The connection between the tank body 1, the bottom 3 of the replenishment bottle, and the cap 4 of the replenishment bottle should have good sealing performance to avoid steam leakage during sterilization and affect the sterilization effect.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, the system further includes a first adapter 51 and a second adapter 52, both of which are disposed on the side wall of the tank 1. One end of the first adapter 51 is connected to the feed inlet of the fermenter 6 via a silicone tube, and the other end is used to draw liquid from the tank. The second adapter 52 is used to connect a 0.22 μm air filter membrane to maintain pressure balance inside the bottle and ensure precise control during the feed process. The first adapter 51 is installed on the side wall of the tank 1 using an internal and external spiral configuration, which facilitates gas discharge during high-temperature sterilization and also allows for easy disassembly and replacement of the silicone tube.

[0034] It should be noted that the first adapter 51 is located on the side wall of tank 1 and is fixed by an internal and external spiral method. One end is connected to the feed port of fermenter 6 through a silicone tube, and the other end is also connected to the inside of tank 1 through a silicone tube for drawing liquid from the tank. This setting ensures the safety and accuracy of liquid transfer during the feed process. The second adapter 52 is also located on the side wall of tank 1 and is mainly used to connect a 0.22 μm air filter membrane. This configuration ensures the sterility of the tank environment, prevents external microbial contamination, and allows gas exchange to maintain an appropriate pressure level inside the tank.

[0035] In an optional embodiment: the outer wall of the wrapping sleeve 2 is fixedly connected with a protruding nut opening structure 21, and the wrapping sleeve 2 is fixedly installed on the fermenter 6 through the nut opening structure 21, which facilitates overall sterilization.

[0036] It should be noted that one end of the sleeve 2 is fixed to the fermenter 6 via a protruding nut structure 21, while the other end is adjustable to accommodate combinations of tanks 1 of different sizes. This design not only enhances the connection stability between the feed bottle and the fermenter 6 but also simplifies the installation and disassembly process.

[0037] In an optional embodiment: after the T-shaped matching head 41 is inserted into the mounting groove 31, it is rotated 90 degrees to connect the bottom 3 of the replenishing bottle with the cap 4 of the replenishing bottle. That is, when the T-shaped matching head 41 and the mounting groove 31 are reversed 90 degrees, the bottom 3 of the replenishing bottle can be separated from the cap 4 of the replenishing bottle.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, handles are provided on the sides of several tanks 1 and on the top of the top tank 1 to facilitate the operator to pick up and move them.

[0039] It should be noted that, for ease of handling and operation, handles are provided on the sides of the tank 1 and on the top of the tank 1, and the handles are sufficient to support the weight of the tank 1 and its contents.

[0040] Working Principle: Assembly and Disassembly of Canister 1: Place the first canister 1 in a suitable position. Align the refill cap 4 of the second canister 1 with the bottom 3 of the refill bottle of the first canister 1. Align the T-shaped fitting head 41 on the refill cap 4 with the mounting groove 31 on the bottom 3 of the refill bottle. Insert the T-shaped fitting head 41 and rotate it 90 degrees to lock it in place. Repeat the above steps to stack multiple canisters 1 sequentially until the desired height and capacity are achieved. Starting with the top canister 1, rotate the T-shaped fitting head 41 on the refill cap 4 90 degrees in the opposite direction. Pull out the T-shaped fitting head 41 to separate the refill cap 4 from the bottom 3 of the refill bottle. Disassemble the other canisters 1 sequentially until all canisters 1 are completely separated.

[0041] Feeding and Liquid Transfer: The first adapter 51 is installed on the side wall of tank 1 using an internal and external spiral method. One end is connected to the feeding port of fermenter 6 via a silicone tube. The other end is connected to the liquid inside the tank via a silicone tube. Open the valve on the silicone tube to allow the liquid inside the tank to flow into fermenter 6 through the silicone tube. Control the flow rate of the silicone tube to ensure the accuracy and uniformity of feeding.

[0042] Air Filtration and Pressure Balancing: The second adapter 52 is installed on the side wall of tank 1 via internal and external spirals. A 0.22 μm air filter membrane is connected. Air Filtration and Pressure Balancing: The air filter membrane allows air to enter the tank, maintaining an appropriate positive or negative pressure state inside the tank. It prevents external microorganisms from entering the tank through the air, maintaining the sterility of the tank environment.
