Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] Microorganisms refer to a large group of organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi, as well as some small protozoa and microalgae. Although individual microorganisms are tiny, they are closely related to humans. Research on microorganisms has never stopped. In the process of microbial fermentation and cultivation, a microbial fermentation tank is needed. The microbial fermentation tank uses the principle of biological fermentation to provide the mycelium with an optimal environment of nutrition, pH, temperature and oxygen supply, so that the mycelium grows rapidly and multiplies quickly, reaching a certain number of mycelial balls in a short time and completing a fermentation cycle.
[0003] However, existing fermenters are prone to clogging during use, and the accuracy of feeding is poor. After feeding is completed, the flip-top needs to be closed and then the feeding port needs to be closed. This two-step operation is quite troublesome, and it is easy to forget to close the feeding port, resulting in the fermenter not being completely sealed, which affects the fermentation of the bacteria.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0026] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, a microbial fermentation device includes a fermentation tank 1. Support legs 8 are fixedly installed in a ring at equal intervals at the bottom of the fermentation tank 1. Fixing blocks 4 are symmetrically fixedly installed on one side of the outside of the fermentation tank 1. A flip cover 5 is rotatably installed between the two fixing blocks 4. A second motor 6 is fixedly installed on the outside of one of the fixing blocks 4. The output end of the second motor 6 is connected to the flip cover 5.
[0027] A feeding mechanism 2 is provided on the other side of the outside of the fermentation tank 1. An installation groove 12 is provided inside the outer wall of the fermentation tank 1. A reset mechanism 3 is provided inside the installation groove 12.
[0028] In this embodiment, the second motor 6 drives the flip cover 5 to rotate, thereby controlling the opening or closing of the flip cover 5. Due to the cooperation of the reset mechanism 3, the opening or closing of the feed inlet is also controlled. When the flip cover 5 is closed, the flip cover 5 and the reset mechanism 3 cooperate to block the feed inlet of the fermentation tank 1. When the flip cover 5 is opened, the reset mechanism 3 resets and the feed inlet opens. Through the setting of the feeding mechanism 2, material blockage is effectively prevented, and the material is added to the interior of the fermentation tank 1 evenly and orderly, improving the accuracy of material addition.
[0029] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the feeding mechanism 2 includes a conveying pipe 201, which is fixedly installed on the other side of the outside of the fermentation tank 1. A conveying rod 202 is rotatably installed inside the conveying pipe 201. One end of the conveying rod 202 passes through the conveying pipe 201 and is connected to a first gear 203. A second gear 204 is meshed with the outside of the first gear 203. A first motor 205 is fixedly installed on one side of the outside of the conveying pipe 201, and the output end of the first motor 205 is connected to the second gear 204. A feeding assembly is provided at the top of the conveying pipe 201. The first motor 205 drives the second gear 204 to rotate, which in turn drives the first gear 203 to rotate. The first gear 203 then drives the conveying rod 202 to rotate, thereby orderly conveying the material into the interior of the fermentation tank 1.
[0030] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the feeding assembly includes a feeding hopper 207, which is fixedly installed on the top of the conveying pipe 201. An impeller 208 is rotatably installed inside the feeding hopper 207. A synchronization component is provided outside the second gear 204. The rotation of the impeller 208 conveys the material inside the feeding hopper 207 downward into the interior of the conveying pipe 201, thus preventing the material from being blocked at the feeding hopper 207.
[0031] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the synchronization component includes a first synchronization wheel 206, which is keyway connected to the outside of the second gear 204. One end of the impeller 208 passes through the feed hopper 207 and is connected to a second synchronization wheel 209. A synchronization belt 210 is provided between the second synchronization wheel 209 and the first synchronization wheel 206. Through the cooperation of the first synchronization wheel 206, the synchronization belt 210 and the second synchronization wheel 209, the conveying rod 202 and the impeller 208 rotate together, preventing blockage while feeding materials in an orderly manner, thus improving practicality.
[0032] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the reset mechanism 3 includes a baffle 301, which is slidably installed inside the mounting groove 12. A connecting rod 302 is fixedly installed on the top of the baffle 301. The top end of the connecting rod 302 passes through the fermentation tank 1 and extends to the outside. A first spring 303 is symmetrically fixedly installed on the top of the baffle 301, and the two first springs 303 are located on both sides of the connecting rod 302. The top ends of the two first springs 303 are fixedly installed to the fermentation tank 1. When the flip cover 5 is closed, the flip cover 5 presses down on the connecting rod 302, and the connecting rod 302 drives the baffle 301 to slide downward. The first springs 303 are stretched. A sealing strip is provided between the baffle 301 and the fermentation tank 1, so that the baffle 301 completely blocks the feed inlet. When the flip cover 5 is opened, due to the reset action of the first spring 303, the baffle 301 moves upward, and the feed inlet is opened.
[0033] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the fermentation tank 1 is provided with locking mechanisms 7 on both sides of the outside. The locking mechanisms 7 effectively fix the flip cover 5, improving the sealing performance of the flip cover 5 after it is closed.
[0034] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the locking mechanism 7 includes mounting blocks 701, which are symmetrically fixedly installed on both sides of the outside of the fermenter 1. A groove 702 is provided on one side of the mounting block 701, and a locking block 703 is slidably installed on the outside of the mounting block 701 through the groove 702. A chamfer 705 is provided on one side of the locking block 703, and a second spring 704 is fixedly installed on the other side of the locking block 703. The second spring 704 is located inside the groove 702, and one end of the second spring 704 is fixedly installed to the mounting block 701. During the closing process of the flip cover 5, due to the setting of the chamfer 705, the two locking blocks 703 slide to both ends, and the second spring 704 is compressed. When the flip cover 5 is closed, due to the reset action of the second spring 704, the two locking blocks 703 move closer to each other and lock the edge of the flip cover 5. In addition, a sealing ring is provided between the flip cover 5 and the fermentation tank 1 to improve the sealing performance. When it is necessary to open the flip cover 5, the two locking blocks 703 are moved to both ends, so that the locking blocks 703 release the locking of the edge of the flip cover 5. At this time, the second motor 6 works to drive the flip cover 5 to flip open.
[0035] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, a third motor 9 is fixedly installed at the center point of the bottom of the fermentation tank 1. The output end of the third motor 9 is connected to a drive shaft 10, and the drive shaft 10 is located inside the fermentation tank 1. Stirring blades 11 are installed at equal intervals on the outside of the drive shaft 10. The third motor 9 drives the drive shaft 10 to rotate, and the rotation of the drive shaft 10 drives the stirring blades 11 to rotate. The rotation of the stirring blades 11 stirs the material, making the fermentation more uniform and improving the fermentation efficiency.
[0036] The above embodiment discloses a microbial fermentation device. When fermentation material needs to be added, the second motor 6 drives the flip cover 5 to open. Due to the resetting action of the first spring 303, the baffle 301 moves upward, opening the feed inlet and placing the material into the feed hopper 207. The first motor 205 drives the second gear 204 to rotate, which in turn drives the first gear 203 to rotate. Due to the cooperation of the first synchronous pulley 206, the synchronous belt 210, and the second synchronous pulley 209, the conveying rod 202 and the impeller 208 rotate together. The rotation of the impeller 208 conveys the material inside the feed hopper 207 downward into the conveying pipe 201, preventing material blockage at the feed hopper 207. The rotation of the conveying rod 202 orderly drives the material conveying. After the materials are added into the fermentation tank 1, the flip cover 5 is closed. The flip cover 5 presses down on the connecting rod 302, which in turn causes the baffle 301 to slide downwards. The first spring 303 is stretched. A sealing strip is provided between the baffle 301 and the fermentation tank 1, causing the baffle 301 to completely block the feed inlet. At the same time, due to the chamfer 705, the two locking blocks 703 slide to both ends, and the second spring 704 is compressed. When the flip cover 5 is closed, the reset action of the second spring 704 causes the two locking blocks 703 to come closer to each other and lock the edge of the flip cover 5. During the fermentation process, the third motor 9 drives the transmission shaft 10 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission shaft 10 drives the stirring blade 11 to rotate. The rotation of the stirring blade 11 stirs the materials, making the fermentation more uniform and improving the fermentation efficiency.

Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
