Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fermentation tank feeding technology, specifically a fermentation tank feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] A fermenter is a piece of equipment widely used in industry for microbial fermentation. Its design and function aim to provide a suitable environment to promote the growth of microorganisms and the fermentation process. A feeding device is used during the operation of the fermenter.

[0003] The fermentation tank mainly consists of a tank body, a stirrer, a heating / cooling system, a breather, etc. When feeding, the material to be fermented is usually directly fed into the inside of the fermentation tank through the feed port for fermentation treatment.

[0004] However, in the existing fermentation tanks, the material is directly fed into the inside of the fermentation tank through the feeding pipe, which leads to an uncontrollable amount of material being fed. This may result in excessive material being fed in the later stages, affecting the subsequent fermentation process and making the tanks generally impractical.

[0005] Therefore, a fermenter feeding device is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and address the problems of existing equipment, this utility model proposes a fermentation tank feeding device.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is a fermentation tank feeding device, including a tank body, an inlet is provided on one side of the top of the tank body, an outlet is provided in the middle of the bottom of the tank body, a first motor is installed in the middle of the top of the tank body, and the output end of the first motor is connected to a first rotating shaft, and an adjustment structure is provided on the inner side of the top of the tank body.

[0008] The adjustment structure includes a drive gear connected to one end of the first rotating shaft, a driven gear connected to one side of the drive gear, a sealing plate connected to the top of the driven gear, a first through hole on the surface of the sealing plate, a dividing seat distributed above the sealing plate, a second through hole on the surface of the dividing seat, and a partition plate distributed below the sealing plate.

[0009] Preferably, a linkage rod is connected to the bottom of the first rotating shaft, and a stirring rod is provided on the surface of the linkage rod, with a scraper provided on one side of the stirring rod.

[0010] Preferably, a second motor is distributed on one side of the first motor, and the output end of the second motor is connected to a second rotating shaft. A spiral blade is sleeved on the outer surface of the second rotating shaft, and a screen plate is distributed above the spiral blade. The operation of the second motor will drive the spiral blade to rotate through the second rotating shaft, which facilitates subsequent auxiliary material feeding.

[0011] Preferably, the driving gear meshes with the driven gear through teeth, and the driven gear is symmetrically distributed along the vertical center line of the driving gear. When the driving gear rotates, it will drive the driven gear to rotate accordingly, which facilitates the subsequent movement of the sealing plate.

[0012] Preferably, the first through holes are equidistantly distributed along the center point of the sealing plate, and the first through holes and the sealing plate form an integrated structure.

[0013] Preferably, the stirring rods are symmetrically distributed along the vertical center line of the linkage rod, and the inner sidewalls of the stirring rods are equidistantly distributed with rod bodies. When the stirring rods rotate, they will drive multiple rod bodies to move accordingly, thereby enabling the feed to be fully stirred.

[0014] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. This utility model, through its structure including a first motor, a drive gear, a driven gear, and a sealing plate, allows for convenient control of the amount of feed fed, effectively preventing excessive feed from being fed and causing excessive feed accumulation inside the tank, which would affect the subsequent fermentation process. Overall, this utility model is more practical.

[0016] 2. This utility model uses a second motor, a rotating shaft, and a spiral blade to assist in feeding the feed into the tank, thereby preventing blockages during the feeding process and ensuring normal subsequent feeding. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, a fermentation tank feeding device includes a tank body 1, an inlet 2 is provided on one side of the top of the tank body 1, an outlet 3 is provided in the middle of the bottom of the tank body 1, a first motor 4 is installed in the middle of the top of the tank body 1, and the output end of the first motor 4 is connected to a first rotating shaft 5. An adjustment structure is provided on the inner side of the top of the tank body 1.

[0026] The adjustment structure includes a drive gear 6 connected to one end of the first rotating shaft 5, a driven gear 7 connected to one side of the drive gear 6, a sealing plate 8 connected to the top of the driven gear 7, a first through hole 9 opened on the surface of the sealing plate 8, a dividing seat 10 distributed above the sealing plate 8, a second through hole 11 opened on the surface of the dividing seat 10, and a partition plate 12 distributed below the sealing plate 8.

[0027] During operation, when the feed to be fermented is fed into the inner side of the tank 1 through the feed inlet 2, the first motor 4 operates, causing the first rotating shaft 5 connected to its output end to rotate. The rotation of the first rotating shaft 5 then drives the rotation of the drive gear 6. The meshing connection between the drive gear 6 and the driven gear 7 enables the driven gear 7 to rotate synchronously. At this time, the rotation of the driven gear 7 drives the sealing plate 8 to rotate synchronously. When the sealing plate 8 rotates, the position of the first through hole 9 also changes accordingly. At this time, the position of the first through hole 9 gradually coincides with the position of the second through hole 11 opened on the surface of the dividing seat 10, which facilitates the subsequent feed to be fed into the bottom inner side of the tank 1 through the through hole. The degree of overlap between the two through holes can control the amount of feed fed, thereby preventing the feed feeding process from affecting the subsequent effective fermentation treatment of the feed.

[0028] The bottom of the first rotating shaft 5 is connected to a linkage rod 13, and a stirring rod 14 is provided on the surface of the linkage rod 13. A scraper 15 is provided on one side of the stirring rod 14.

[0029] During operation, the rotation of the first rotating shaft 5 will drive the linkage rod 13 to rotate as well. The rotating linkage rod 13 will then drive the stirring rod 14 to move. The rotation of the stirring rod 14 will then be used to stir the feed, which will facilitate better fermentation later. At the same time, the rotation of the stirring rod 14 will also cause the scraper 15 attached to the inner wall of the tank 1 to move. The scraper 15 can effectively prevent the feed from adhering to the inner wall of the tank 1.

[0030] A second motor 16 is distributed on one side of the first motor 4, and the output end of the second motor 16 is connected to a second rotating shaft 17. A spiral blade 18 is sleeved on the outer surface of the second rotating shaft 17, and a sieve plate 19 is distributed above the spiral blade 18.

[0031] When the second motor 16 is working, the second rotating shaft 17 connected to its output end will drive the spiral blade 18 to rotate. The feed that is fed into the tank 1 to be fermented will then be processed by the screen plate 19 to remove impurities. The rotating spiral blade 18 can then be used to assist in feeding.

[0032] The driving gear 6 is meshed with the driven gear 7 through its teeth, and the driven gear 7 is symmetrically distributed along the vertical center line of the driving gear 6;

[0033] During operation, since the driving gear 6 is meshed with the driven gear 7 through its teeth, when the driving gear 6 rotates, the driven gears 7 on both sides will rotate synchronously, and the rotation of the driven gears 7 will be used to realize the rotation of the sealing plate 8.

[0034] The first through holes 9 are equidistantly distributed along the center point of the sealing plate 8, and the first through holes 9 and the sealing plate 8 form an integrated structure;

[0035] During operation, the position of the first through hole 9 can be adjusted when the sealing plate 8 rotates. When the positions of the first through hole 9 and the second through hole 11 are on the same center line, it is convenient to feed materials in the future. The amount of material fed can be controlled by rotating the sealing plate 8.

[0036] The stirring rods 14 are symmetrically distributed along the vertical center line of the linkage rod 13, and the rods are evenly distributed on the inner side wall of the stirring rods 14;

[0037] During operation, the linkage rod 13 rotates, causing the stirring rod 14 to rotate as well. When the stirring rod 14 rotates, it causes multiple rods on its inner side to move accordingly. This rotation of the multiple rods and the stirring rod 14 is used to stir the stored feed, which is convenient for subsequent fermentation.

[0038] The working principle is as follows: the feed to be fermented is fed into the inner side of the tank 1 through the feed inlet 2. The first motor 4 operates, causing the first rotating shaft 5 connected to its output end to rotate. The rotation of the first rotating shaft 5 then drives the drive gear 6 to rotate. The meshing connection between the drive gear 6 and the driven gear 7 achieves synchronous rotation of the driven gear 7. At this time, the rotation of the driven gear 7 drives the sealing plate 8 to rotate synchronously. When the sealing plate 8 rotates, the position of the first through hole 9 also changes accordingly. At this time, the position of the first through hole 9 gradually coincides with the position of the second through hole 11 opened on the surface of the dividing seat 10. This allows the feed to be easily fed into the bottom inner side of the tank 1 through the through hole. The degree of overlap between the two through holes can control the amount of feed fed, thereby preventing the feed feeding process from affecting the subsequent feeding. Continuing the effective fermentation process of the feed, when the second motor 16 is working, the second rotating shaft 17 connected to its output end will drive the spiral blade 18 to rotate. The feed to be fermented, which is then fed into the tank 1, passes through the sieve plate 19 for impurity removal. The rotating spiral blade 18 can then be used to assist in feeding. When the first rotating shaft 5 rotates, it will drive the linkage rod 13 to rotate as well. The rotating linkage rod 13 will then drive the stirring rod 14 to move. The rotation of the stirring rod 14 can then be used to stir the feed, which will facilitate better fermentation later. At the same time, the rotation of the stirring rod 14 will also cause the scraper 15 attached to the inner wall of the tank 1 to move. The scraper 15 can effectively prevent the feed from adhering to the inner wall of the tank 1.
