Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a flame inoculation feeder, belonging to the field of reaction vessel accessories. Background Technology
[0002] A fermenter is an industrial device used for microbial fermentation. It is a container for chemical and physical reactions. In practice, the materials to be fermented or reacted are initially put into the tank and sealed for preservation. During the fermentation process, it is sometimes necessary to continuously add materials to promote the reaction. When adding subsequent additives, cleanliness and sterility are required, which places high demands on the feeding device.
[0003] The prior art discloses patent application number CN201520997477.1, entitled "A Flame Inoculation Device for a Fermentation Tank," which reveals that the inoculation device includes a flame inoculation port fixedly connected to the fermentation tank inlet. An annular alcohol lamp is fitted over the flame inoculation port, with a gap between the inner ring wall of the annular alcohol lamp and the outer wall of the flame inoculation port. A sealing cap covers the upper part of the flame inoculation port and provides a sealed connection. Compared with the prior art, this utility model has advantages such as simple structure, convenient operation, good sealing effect, and low risk of contamination.
[0004] In practical use, alcohol fuel needs to be placed in a ring-shaped alcohol lamp, and the alcohol fuel is ignited to produce a flame, which increases the temperature of the flame inoculation device and the surrounding temperature to achieve a sterilization effect. Then, the cap of the feeding port is unscrewed, and the feeder is placed on the flame for high-temperature sterilization to facilitate feeding. After feeding is completed, the cap is placed on the flame to achieve high-temperature sterilization, and the inoculation port is resealed.
[0005] The above-mentioned flame inoculation device has the following problems: First, the alcohol fuel is placed in a ring-shaped alcohol lamp. The slot for placing the alcohol fuel in the ring-shaped alcohol lamp is relatively narrow, making it difficult to evenly surround the flame inoculation port. Furthermore, the alcohol fuel may not burn completely, leaving residues in the ring-shaped alcohol lamp that are not easy to clean.
[0006] To address this problem, this utility model provides a split-type flame inoculation feeder. Utility Model Content

[0037] In the description of this utility model, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0038] Reference Figures 1-7 As shown, this embodiment provides a specific implementation of a flame inoculation feeder, including a cover 10, a flame inoculation port 20, a flange 30, an annular inoculation disc 40, and a container 50. The annular inoculation disc 40 has the flame inoculation port 20 in the middle, and the annular inoculation disc 40 is fixed to the tank body by the flange 30.
[0039] The cap 10 is threaded to the center of the annular inoculation tray 40 to seal the flame inoculation port 20;
[0040] The container 50 containing fuel is detachably mounted on the annular inoculation tray 40.
[0041] In this embodiment, alcohol fuel is first evenly placed in the container 50 and then assembled into the annular inoculation tray 40, so that the alcohol fuel directly surrounds the flame inoculation port 20. This solves the problems of narrow slots and difficulty in evenly placing fuel in traditional annular alcohol lamps. Secondly, the container 50 has a mesh first mesh plate 511 and a mesh second mesh plate 512, while the bottom plate 513 has a smooth bottom surface, which does not affect the spread of the flame and can also hold unburned fuel. The material can be cleaned directly by simply removing the container 50.
[0042] The annular inoculation tray 40 includes a receiving tray 401 and a wedge-shaped opening 402;
[0043] The receiving plate 401 includes a first circular plate 411, a second circular plate 412, and a third annular plate 413;
[0044] The centers of the circles containing the first circular plate 411 and the second circular plate 412 are at the same position. The first circular plate 411 and the second circular plate 412 are vertically fixed on the circular edges on the inner and outer sides of the third annular plate 413, and the first circular plate 411 is located inside the second circular plate 412.
[0045] The wedge-shaped opening 402 is formed on the second circular plate 412 for precise alignment of the assemblies 50.
[0046] Furthermore, the vertical height of the first circular plate 411 is lower than the vertical height of the second circular plate 412, allowing the flame of the alcohol fuel combustion to quickly extend to the flame inoculation port 20.
[0047] Furthermore, the space between the first circular plate 411 and the second circular plate 412 is a first receiving groove. When the first receiving groove is engaged with the container 50, the connector 502 of the container 50 is precisely engaged at the wedge-shaped opening 402, achieving precise alignment.
[0048] The container 50 includes a ring 501, a connector 502, and a handle 503. The ring 501 can hold fuel, and the connector 502 is fixed on the outer curved surface of the ring 501. The other end of the connector 502 is connected to the handle 503, which can be directly operated by holding the handle 503.
[0049] Furthermore, the ring body 501 is composed of a first mesh plate 511, a second mesh plate 512 and a base plate 513. The first mesh plate 511 and the second mesh plate 512 are vertically welded on the inner curved edge and the outer curved edge of the base plate 513, respectively. The space between the first mesh plate 511 and the second mesh plate 512 is a second receiving groove.
[0050] The container 50 has a first mesh plate 511 and a second mesh plate 512, while the bottom plate 513 has a smooth bottom surface, which does not affect the spread of the flame and can hold unburned fuel. The material can be cleaned directly by simply removing the container 50.
[0051] In some embodiments, the opening width of the second receiving groove is smaller than that of the first receiving groove. During assembly, or after high-temperature use, even if the ring 501 is deformed, it can still be assembled and used normally, thereby improving the service life and practicality of the equipment.
[0052] In some embodiments, the density of the first mesh plate 511 and the second mesh plate 512 is greater than 200 mesh, which does not affect the spread of the flame of the alcohol fuel, and also carries the unburned fuel material.
[0053] A handle 60 is rotatably connected to the cover 10.
[0054] Furthermore, the handle 60 includes a vertical portion and a horizontal portion that are perpendicular to each other. The horizontal width of the horizontal portion is smaller than the inner diameter of the first circular plate 411. That is, the inner diameter of the first mesh plate 511 is larger than the width of the horizontal portion of the handle 60, so that the container 50 can be directly assembled regardless of whether the cover 10 is removed.
[0055] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
