[0028] 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 protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] Please see Figures 1-5A novel microbial seed culture tank includes a main body 1, an operating mechanism, a discharge assembly, and a processing mechanism. The operating mechanism includes a motor 2, a tank cover 3, a drive shaft 4, and a stirring component 5. The motor 2 is fixedly mounted on the tank cover 3, and the tank cover 3 is fixedly mounted on the main body 1. One end of the drive shaft 4 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 2. The stirring component 5 is mounted on the drive shaft 4 and rotatably connected to the drive shaft 4. The discharge assembly includes a shell 6, a cutting component 7, a sealing component 8, and a first control valve 9. The main body 1 is fixedly mounted inside the shell 6. The cutting component 7 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the main body 1. The drive shaft 4 is mounted in the cutting component 7 and rotatably connected to the cutting component 7. The sealing component 8 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the shell 6, and the first control valve 9 is fixedly mounted on the sealing component 8.

[0031] In this embodiment, the operating mechanism includes a motor 2, a can lid 3, a drive shaft 4, and a stirring component 5. When in use, after the microorganisms are placed into the main body 1, the heating plate 23 on the outer shell 6 starts to operate, heating the main body 1. Under the action of the heat preservation plate 24, the internal temperature of the main body 1 is maintained. At this time, the motor 2 on the can lid 3 drives the drive shaft 4 directly, so that the drive shaft 4 can rotate in the cutting component 7, and drives the stirring component 5 installed on the drive shaft 4 to rotate, so as to evenly mix the culture medium and microorganisms inside the main body 1, and make the nutrients evenly distributed inside the main body 1.

[0032] In this embodiment, the discharge assembly includes a housing 6, a cutting element 7, a sealing element 8, and a first control valve 9. In use, the first control valve 9 on the discharge pipe 27 is driven and, in conjunction with an external pump, draws in the microbial community inside the main body 1. At this time, the motor 2 continues to rotate and is affected by the negative pressure at the cutting element 7, allowing the microorganisms to enter the cutting element 7 through the flow hole 26. The large microbial community is then refined by the cutting blade 25, making it easier to discharge from the main body 1.

[0033] In this embodiment, the processing mechanism includes a second control valve 10, a water tank 11, a negative pressure unit 12, activated carbon 13, and a mounting bracket 14. During use, microbial communities, water, and nutrients are first introduced into the feed pipe 17. The gas pressure inside the main body 1 is then determined by the reading on the pressure gauge 18. If the pressure is unstable, the negative pressure unit 12 is activated. However, excessive internal waste gas during microbial growth can affect the growth rate. In this case, the second control valve 10 on the air inlet 15 can be opened, allowing pure oxygen from outside the main body 1 to enter and dissipate the waste gas. The exhaust gas is discharged through the exhaust port 16. The exhaust gas discharged through the exhaust port 16 is filtered by the activated carbon 13 installed on the mounting bracket 14 and then enters the water tank 11. After passing through the water in the water tank 11, it is discharged to the outside. The activated carbon 13 needs to be replaced after a period of use. At this time, the positioning bracket 19 installed on the water tank 11 can be pulled to compress the spring 20. When the positioning bracket 19 no longer blocks the mounting bracket 14, the mounting bracket 14 can be pulled out. The sealing gasket 21 on the mounting bracket 14 separates from the sealing groove 22 on the water tank 11 and reconnects after the activated carbon 13 is replaced.

[0034] Example 2:

[0035] In summary, during use, microbial communities, water, and nutrients are first introduced into the feed pipe 17. The pressure inside the main body 1 is then determined by the reading on the pressure gauge 18. If the pressure is unstable, the negative pressure unit 12 is activated. During cultivation, the heating plate 23 on the outer shell 6 begins to operate, heating the main body 1. The insulation plate 24 helps maintain the internal temperature of the main body 1. The motor 2 on the lid 3 drives the drive shaft 4, allowing it to rotate within the cutting component 7. This rotation of the stirring component 5 mounted on the drive shaft 4 ensures uniform mixing of the culture medium and microorganisms inside the main body 1, resulting in even distribution of nutrients and faster microbial growth. However, excessive internal waste gas during microbial growth can slow down the process. In this case, the second control valve 10 on the air inlet 15 can be opened, allowing pure oxygen from outside the main body 1 to enter, while the waste gas is discharged through the exhaust port 16. The exhaust gas discharged from section 6 is filtered by the activated carbon 13 installed on the mounting frame 14 and then enters the water tank 11. After passing through the water in the water tank 11, it is discharged to the outside. The activated carbon 13 needs to be replaced after a period of use. At this time, the positioning frame 19 installed on the water tank 11 can be pulled to compress the spring 20. When the positioning frame 19 no longer blocks the mounting frame 14, the mounting frame 14 can be pulled out. The sealing gasket 21 on the mounting frame 14 separates from the sealing groove 22 on the water tank 11. After the activated carbon 13 is replaced, it is reconnected. When the number of microorganisms reaches the target, the material can be discharged. At this time, the first control valve 9 on the discharge pipe 27 is driven and, in conjunction with the external pump, the microbial community inside the main body 1 is sucked up. At this time, the motor 2 is still rotating and is affected by the negative pressure at the cutting part 7, so that the microorganisms can enter the cutting part 7 through the flow hole 26. The large microbial community is broken down by the cutting blade 25, making it easier to discharge from the main body 1.

[0036] Of all the solutions mentioned above, those involving the connection between two components can be selected according to the actual situation, such as welding, bolt and nut connection, bolt or screw connection, or other known connection methods, which will not be elaborated here. For all the fixed connections mentioned above, welding is preferred. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model.
