AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When existing flame ring inoculation tools are used in large-scale microbial fermenters, they are prone to slipping and cannot fully cover the feed inlet, allowing external bacteria to enter. Furthermore, excessively high flame height can easily cause safety accidents and inactivate fermentation bacteria.

Method used

A flame ring inoculation tool was designed, including a circular ring, a telescopic mechanism, and a hook. By adjusting the combination of a worm gear, a worm, a rotating shaft, and a threaded rod, the horizontal adjustment and length adaptation of the flame ring can be achieved, ensuring that the flame completely covers the feed inlet. At the same time, the hook and threaded bracket are used to fix it to the head of the fermenter.

Benefits of technology

This method achieves stable fixation and full coverage of the flame ring within a large-scale microbial fermenter, preventing the entry of external contaminants, reducing safety risks, and protecting the activity of the fermenting bacteria.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of microbial inoculation technology, specifically a flame ring inoculation tool. Background Technology

[0002] When inoculating microbial fermenters, most fields use the flame ring inoculation method. However, the surface of the fermenter head has a certain curvature, and ordinary flame rings are prone to slipping without fixed support. Moreover, the flame cannot cover the entire feed inlet, which can easily introduce external bacteria into the tank and cause contamination. Existing technologies increase the flame height of the flame ring to achieve full coverage, but a large flame can easily cause safety accidents. Furthermore, it can cause some fermentation bacteria to become inactive when poured into the fermenter.

[0003] To address these issues, this invention provides a flame ring inoculation tool. Utility Model Content

A second fixing rod 4 is fixedly connected to the circular ring 1, and a telescopic mechanism is set on the second fixing rod 4.

[0027] The telescopic mechanism includes an adjusting cap 56, a worm gear 54, and a worm 55. The outer side of the worm gear 54 is threadedly connected to the worm 55. A rotating shaft 53 is fixedly connected to the middle of the worm gear 54. A threaded rod 58 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft 53. A moving block 59 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded rod 58. A first square tube 51 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the moving block 59.

[0028] The second square tube 52 is movably connected to the outside of the first square tube 51, and the bottom end of the threaded rod 58 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the inside of the first square tube 51.

[0029] The telescopic mechanism also includes a fixed plate 57, the outer side of the rotating shaft 53 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 57, the fixed plate 57 is fixedly connected inside the second square tube 52, and the worm gear 55 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the second square tube 52.

[0031] The hook 6 is rotatably connected to the top of the second square tube 52.

[0032] Working process: By manually rotating the adjusting cap 56, the worm 55 rotates, which drives the worm wheel 54 to rotate. The worm wheel 54 rotates, which drives the rotating shaft 53 to rotate. The rotating shaft 53 rotates, which drives the threaded rod 58 to rotate, causing the moving block 59 to move up and down. This adjusts the first square tube 51 to move up and down within the second square tube 52, thereby adjusting the overall movement. The hook 6 and locking plate 7 are used to fix the whole unit. The angle of the locking plate 7 can be manually adjusted to facilitate the fixation of the whole unit. Then, the height of the threaded bracket 3 is manually adjusted according to the curvature of the feed inlet of the actual large-scale microbial fermentation tank, so that the circular ring 1 remains horizontal, thereby ensuring that the flame completely covers the feed inlet when the flame is not large.
