Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of microbial fermentation, specifically to a sterile storage tank for microbial fermentation. BACKGROUND
[0002] Microbial fermentation refers to the process of using microorganisms to convert raw materials into products needed by humans through specific metabolic pathways under suitable conditions. The level of microbial fermentation production mainly depends on the genetic characteristics of the strain itself and the culture conditions. The application range of fermentation engineering includes medicine industry, food industry, energy industry, chemical industry, agriculture, genetically modified plants, biological nitrogen fixation, biopesticide, microbial feed, and environmental protection.
[0003] A microbial fermentation storage tank is disclosed in Chinese Patent No. CN114852539A. The structure includes a drive body, an exhaust pipe, a support, and an operating box. The drive body is installed on the operating box, and the operating box is movably connected to the drive body. The exhaust pipe is provided on the operating box, and the operating box is connected to the exhaust pipe. The bottom of the operating box is provided with a support, and the support is movably connected to the operating box. The operating box is provided with an operator, a stirring body, a temperature control body, a sensing body, and a box body. The operator is installed inside the box body, and the box body is connected to the operator. When storing microbial fermentation products, the invention pushes the closing plate through the deflection structure to block the opening of the material guide pipe body, preventing the vapor inside the tank from escaping into the material guide pipe. By installing assembly blocks on the assembly plate, the water droplets inside the pipe can be wiped off through the rotation of the assembly structure, reducing the humidity of the material guide pipe body. This prevents the powder-like material from adhering to the material guide pipe during the addition of powder-like or granular material into the storage tank.
[0004] The comparative document achieves the purpose of preventing moisture from entering the material guide pipe by blocking the outlet end of the material guide pipe. However, due to microbial respiration and fermentation in the sterile storage tank, the air pressure inside the tank increases. When the material guide pipe is opened, the high internal pressure can cause the internal steam to be sprayed out through the material guide pipe. During the addition of powder-like material, some of the powder-like material may be blown out, which affects the amount of material added.
[0005] Therefore, a new type of sterile storage tank for microbial fermentation is needed to solve the above problems. Utility model content
