Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a sampling tool, and more particularly to a solid-state fermentation sampler. Background Technology

[0002] Solid-state fermentation is a fermentation method in which microorganisms ferment on a solid substrate with little or no free water. The production processes of baijiu (Chinese liquor) and aged vinegar are typical examples of solid-state fermentation.

[0003] During solid-state fermentation, the bioheat generated by microbial growth and the pressure of the material itself cause the microorganisms at different depths in the fermenter or pit to exhibit different states. To observe the fermentation state of the microorganisms, sampling tools are needed. However, commonly used sampling tools cannot be lengthened to accommodate fermenters or pits of different depths, nor can they sample from different depths simultaneously, making them inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a solid-state fermentation sampler that can solve the problem that current common sampling tools cannot change their length or sample at different depths simultaneously.

[0005] This application provides a solid-state fermentation sampler, comprising: a support tube, which is mainly composed of multiple support parts arranged vertically, with each pair of adjacent support parts detachably connected; a through groove extending vertically through each support part and extending forward to connect to the outside of the support part; a base plate fixedly provided at the bottom of the support tube; a sampling part, which is slidably connected vertically to the through groove; the sampling part is mainly composed of several sampling boxes and multiple baffles arranged vertically, with each sampling box and baffle detachably connected in pairs; and a sliding plate, which is slidably connected vertically to the through groove on the front side of the support tube, and can cover the through groove on the front side or move upward away from the through groove as it slides.

[0006] In one embodiment, at least two mounting blocks are fixed on the outer walls of the upper and lower ends of each support portion. In each support portion, the mounting block at the upper end is provided with a first threaded hole, and the mounting block at the lower end is provided with a first through hole.

[0007] In one embodiment, the sampling box and the baffle are detachably connected by threaded connections.

[0008] In one embodiment, a conical tip is fixed at the lower end of the base plate, with the tip of the tip facing downwards.

[0009] In one embodiment, a handle is fixedly provided at the top of the sampling section.

[0010] In summary, the solid-state fermentation sampler disclosed in this application has the following advantages over the prior art: the length of the support tube can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of the support parts; the length of the sampling part and the position of the sampling box can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number or length of the baffles to adapt to fermentation tanks or pits of different depths, and sampling can be performed at different depths simultaneously, which is more convenient.

[0019] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 A solid-state fermentation sampler includes: a support tube 1, a sampling section 11, and a sliding plate 13.

[0020] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 The support tube 1 is composed of multiple identical support parts 5 arranged vertically. Each pair of adjacent support parts 5 is detachably connected. The length of the support tube 1 can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of support parts 5.

[0021] Please see Figure 4 In one embodiment, two mounting blocks 6 are fixed to the outer walls of the upper and lower ends of each support portion 5 by welding. Each upper mounting block 6 in each support portion 5 has a vertically extending first threaded hole, and each lower mounting block 6 has a vertically extending first through hole. At the connection point of two adjacent support portions 5, the position of each first threaded hole corresponds to the position of one first through hole, allowing a first bolt 9 to pass through both the first threaded hole and the first through hole to achieve a detachable connection between adjacent support portions 5. This configuration makes the structure easy to implement and convenient to use.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 The support part 5 is provided with a through groove 10 that runs vertically through the support part 5, and the through groove 10 extends forward to connect with the outside of the support part 5. The bottom of the support tube 1 is fixed with a base plate 3 by welding.

[0023] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4The sampling section 11 is vertically slidably connected to the through groove 10. The sampling section 11 is composed of several sampling boxes 14 and several baffles 18 arranged vertically. The sampling boxes 14 and baffles 18 are detachably connected in pairs. The sampling box 14 is a hollow box with its opening facing forward, used to collect samples of microorganisms from the fermenter or pit. Furthermore, the sampling boxes 14 and the baffles 18 can be arranged vertically at intervals, with the baffles 18 positioned at the front of the through groove 10. The function of the baffles 18 is to prevent a large amount of microorganisms from the fermenter or pit from entering the through groove 10 and affecting the sliding of the sampling section 11. Alternatively, baffles 18 of different lengths can be cut (or multiple baffles 18 can be joined together) to adjust the position of the sampling boxes 14.

[0024] Please see Figure 4 In one embodiment, the sampling box 14 and the baffle 18 are detachably connected by threaded connection: the sampling box 14 has a second through hole on both the upper and lower surfaces, and the baffle 18 has a second threaded hole at both the upper and lower ends. At the connection between the sampling box 14 and the baffle 18, the positions of the second through hole and the second threaded hole correspond one-to-one, so that the second bolt 17 can pass through the second through hole and be screwed into the second threaded hole.

[0025] Please see Figure 3 The sliding plate 13 is vertically slidably connected to the through groove 10 on the front side of the support tube 1. As it slides, it can cover the through groove 10 on the front side or move upward away from the through groove 10 (exposing the through groove 10 from the front side). In one embodiment, a sliding groove 2 is provided vertically on the front side of the support tube 1. The cross-sectional shape of the sliding groove 2 is "convex". The sliding plate 13 is vertically slidably connected to the sliding groove 2. This arrangement makes the sliding effect more stable.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment, a conical tip 4 is fixed to the lower end of the base plate 3 by welding, with the tip of the tip 4 facing downwards. This arrangement makes it easier for workers to insert the support tube 1 into the fermentation tank or pit.

[0027] Please see Figure 3 In one embodiment, a handle 12 is fixed at the top of the sampling part 11 to facilitate the worker to pull the sampling part 11 out of the support tube 1.

[0028] The working process of this utility model is briefly described below:

[0029] S1. The worker adjusts the position of the sampling box 14 on the sampling part 11 according to the required sampling depth, and then assembles the support tube 1 of the corresponding length;

[0030] S2. Slide the sliding plate 13 downwards to cover the through groove 10, and then insert the support tube 1 with the sampling part 11 into the microorganism;

[0031] S3. When each of the sampling boxes 14 reaches the sampling position, the sliding plate 13 is moved upward to expose the sampling part 11, and the microorganisms at the opening of the sampling box 14 will enter the sampling box 14. Then the sliding plate 13 is moved downward to cover the groove 2.

[0032] S4. Finally, pull out the support tube 1 and then extract the sampling part 11 to obtain the sample in the sampling box 14.
