Through a combination of rotating columns, L-shaped connecting plates, bevel gears, and pulleys, the main body of the seed tank is flipped and rotated. Combined with servo motor-driven elliptical columns and impact columns, the seed tank is vibrated, ensuring that the fermenting agent and solid granular raw materials are fully mixed from multiple directions and preventing adhesion.

Benefits of technology

It improves the mixing effect of fermentation agent and solid granular raw materials, ensuring that the granular raw materials are fully mixed and do not stick to the inner side wall of the tank, thereby improving mixing efficiency and feeding effect.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seed tank technology, and in particular to a seed tank for microbial fermentation. Background Technology

[0002] A seed tank for microbial fermentation is a reaction device used for the growth of microorganisms. Inside the seed tank, various microorganisms grow, metabolize, and form fermentation products in a suitable environment. Therefore, this device is widely used in the pharmaceutical, monosodium glutamate, enzyme preparation, and food industries.

[0003] However, in most existing equipment, stirring is used to mix the fermentation agent and solid particulate raw materials. During stirring, the solid particulate raw materials and the fermentation agent rotate in the same direction in the seed tank, resulting in poor mixing effect between the solid particulate raw materials and the fermentation agent. Therefore, a seed tank for microbial fermentation is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] A second pulley is fixedly connected to the bottom of the seed container body, and a belt is movably sleeved on the second pulley and the first pulley.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] The striking structure includes a second servo motor fixedly connected to one side of the second fixed plate, and an elliptical cylinder is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second servo motor.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] One of the first fixed plates has a sliding rod slidably connected through one side. One end of the sliding rod is fixedly connected to a movable plate, and the other end of the sliding rod is fixedly connected to an impact column. A spring is movably mounted on the sliding rod.

[0016] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. Compared with existing technologies, this seed tank for microbial fermentation, by setting up a first servo motor, an L-shaped connecting plate, a rotating rod, a second conical tooth, a first pulley, a second pulley, and a belt, etc., allows the first servo motor to drive the rotating column to rotate, which in turn drives the fixed ring and the L-shaped connecting plate to rotate. The fixed ring causes the seed tank body to rotate, while the L-shaped connecting plate causes the rotating rod to rotate. The rotating rod causes the second conical tooth to move, and the second conical tooth drives the rotating rod to rotate through the first conical tooth ring. The rotating rod drives the first pulley to rotate, and the first pulley drives the second pulley to rotate through the belt. The second pulley drives the seed tank body to rotate. The seed tank body can rotate on its own while rotating, so that the fermenting agent and raw materials inside can continuously hit the stirring rod from multiple directions, which can fully mix the fermenting agent and solid particulate raw materials and improve the mixing effect.

[0018] 2. Compared with the prior art, the seed tank for microbial fermentation is equipped with a second servo motor, an elliptical cylinder, a sliding rod, a moving plate, an impact column, and a spring.

A second pulley 906 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the seed tank body 5. A belt 907 is movably fitted on both the second pulley 906 and the first pulley 905. The fermentation agent and solid granular raw materials are fed into the seed tank body 5 through the feed inlet. Inside the body 5, the first servo motor 901 drives the rotating column 3 to rotate, the rotating column 3 drives the fixed ring 4 and the L-shaped connecting plate 902 to rotate, the fixed ring 4 drives the seed tank body 5 to flip, and at the same time the L-shaped connecting plate 902 drives the rotating rod 903 to flip, the rotating rod 903 drives the second conical tooth 904 to move, the second conical tooth 904 drives the rotating rod 903 to rotate through the first conical gear ring 8, the rotating rod 903 drives the first pulley 905 to rotate, the first pulley 905 drives the second pulley 906 to rotate through the belt 907, the second pulley 906 drives the seed tank body 5 to rotate, the seed tank body 5 can rotate while flipping, so that the fermenting agent and raw materials inside can continuously hit the stirring rod 6 from multiple directions, so that the fermenting agent and solid particle raw materials can be fully mixed, which is beneficial to improving the mixing effect;

[0030] To achieve the purpose of vibration, the striking structure 11 includes a second servo motor 111 fixedly connected to one side of the second fixed plate 10. An elliptical cylinder 112 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second servo motor 111. A sliding rod 113 is slidably connected through one side of the first fixed plate 2. A moving plate 114 is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding rod 113, and an impact column 115 is fixedly connected to the other end of the sliding rod 113. A spring 116 is movably mounted on the sliding rod 113. One end of the spring 116 is fixedly connected to one side of the impact column 115, and the other end is fixedly connected to one side of the corresponding first fixed plate 2. The second servo motor 111 drives the elliptical cylinder 112 to rotate. One end of the elliptical cylinder 112 disengages from the moving plate 114. Under the elasticity of the spring 116, the impact column 115 drives the sliding rod 113 to move. The impact column 115 impacts the seed tank body 5, causing the seed tank body 5 to vibrate, thus preventing a large amount of granular raw material from sticking to the inner wall of the seed tank body 5 and failing to fall off.

[0031] Working principle: The fermenting agent and solid granular raw materials are fed into the seed tank body 5 through the feed inlet. Then, the first servo motor 901 drives the rotating column 3 to rotate, which in turn drives the fixed ring 4 and the L-shaped connecting plate 902 to rotate.

The second pulley 906 drives the seed tank body 5 to rotate. The seed tank body 5 can rotate on its own axis while flipping, so that the internal... The fermenting agent and raw materials are continuously struck on the stirring rod 6 from multiple directions, which makes the fermenting agent and solid granular raw materials fully mixed, which helps to improve the mixing effect. After fermentation, the first servo motor 901 drives the rotating column 3 to rotate. The rotating column 3 drives the seed tank body 5 to flip through the fixed ring 4, moving the feed port of the seed tank body 5 to the bottom, and then opening the valve to discharge the material. At the same time, the second servo motor 111 drives the elliptical column 112 to rotate. One end of the elliptical column 112 is separated from the moving plate 114. Under the elasticity of the spring 116, the impact column 115 drives the sliding rod 113 to move. The impact column 115 impacts the seed tank body 5, causing the seed tank body 5 to vibrate, which prevents a large amount of granular raw materials from sticking to the inner wall of the seed tank body 5 and not falling off.
