Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fermentation technology, specifically to a filtration system for fermentation machines with multi-stage filtration function. Background Technology

[0002] A microbial fermenter is a device used in microbial fermentation processes and is widely used in food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. Subsequent filtration in microbial fermentation is of great importance. For example, fermentation broth typically contains a large number of impurities such as bacterial cells, mycelia, proteins, and residual soluble substrates. Filtration can effectively remove these impurities, improving the purity and quality of the fermentation product.

[0003] Publication No. CN218251445U discloses a microbial fermentation filter, including a filter box and a crushing box. A feeding pipe connects the filter box and the crushing box. A feed inlet is installed at the top of the filter box, and a filter plate is hinged to a hinged base. A vibrating box is movably connected to the other end of the filter plate. A vibration mechanism is installed on the side of the filter box near the vibrating box. A second discharge port is installed at the bottom of the crushing box, and two crushing mechanisms, one extending into the crushing box, are installed on one side of the crushing box. This microbial fermentation filter has a simple structure, is highly efficient and convenient to use, and easy to operate and maintain. The filter plate inside the filter box is hinged to the inner wall, allowing for the filtration of hairspray particles by shaking the filter plate. A rotating motor drives an eccentric turntable to rotate, making the vibration frequency more uniform. The remaining particles can be further crushed in the crushing box, improving work efficiency and indirectly reducing manufacturing costs for enterprises.

[0004] This solution can filter hairspray particles by shaking the filter plate, thereby improving filtration efficiency and making the vibration frequency more uniform. This solution can use a vibrating filter screen for filtration, but the setting of a single filter screen can still easily cause filter screen blockage, resulting in poor filtration effect. Therefore, it needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a filtration system with multi-stage filtration function for fermenters, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a filtration system with multi-stage filtration function for a fermenter, including a casing, the top of which is fixedly connected to a feed pipe.

[0007] The internal casing is equidistantly rotatably connected to multiple filter cartridges.

[0008] Multiple fixing plates are slidably connected to the inner wall of the chassis, and guide plates are fixedly connected to both ends of each fixing plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a discharge hopper is fixedly connected between the two inner walls of the chassis.

[0010] Furthermore, a plurality of hydraulic rods are fixedly connected to one outer wall of the chassis, and the output end of the hydraulic rods is fixedly connected to an adjacent fixed plate.

[0011] Furthermore, a plurality of guide plates are fixedly connected through one inner wall of the chassis, one end of each guide plate is fixedly connected to a drain pipe, and two guide blocks are symmetrically fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of each guide plate.

[0012] Furthermore, a limiting plate is fixedly connected to one end of the filter cartridge, the limiting plate is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the casing, a shaft is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting plate, the shaft passes through the casing and extends to its outside, and a bevel gear is fixedly sleeved on one end of the shaft.

[0013] Furthermore, a vertical tube is rotatably connected to the other outer wall of the chassis. Two bevel gears and one bevel gear are fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the vertical tube.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] Material enters the machine casing through the feed pipe and falls onto the top of the uppermost filter cartridge. The motor starts and multiple filter cartridges rotate. The filter cartridge in the middle always rotates in the opposite direction to the other two. As the filter cartridges rotate, they guide the material to one side. During this process, the fermentation liquid and other materials are filtered out and fall into the guide plate. The material is guided and filtered in multiple stages outside the multiple filter cartridges, constantly changing the contact area between the filter cartridges and the material to avoid clogging. At the same time, the filtration time is increased, resulting in better filtration effect. Attached Figure Description

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a filtration system with multi-stage filtration function for a fermenter, including a housing 10, a feed pipe 101 fixedly connected to the top of the housing 10, and multiple filter cartridges 11 rotatably connected at equal intervals inside the housing 10; multiple fixing plates 12, the fixing plates 12 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing 10, and guide plates 121 are fixedly connected to both ends of the fixing plates 12.

[0023] In practice, the material enters the machine housing 10 from the feed pipe 101 and falls onto the top of the uppermost filter cylinder 11. The motor 143 is started to drive the vertical pipe 14 to rotate, thereby driving the bevel gear 2 141 and bevel gear 3 142 to rotate. Through the transmission between bevel gear 2 141 and bevel gear 3 142 and bevel gear 1 113, multiple filter cylinders 11 are driven to rotate. The filter cylinder 11 in the middle always rotates in the opposite direction to the other two filter cylinders 11. As the filter cylinder 11 rotates, the material is guided to one side. During the process, the fermentation liquid and other materials are filtered out and fall into the guide plate 13. The guide plate 13 can collect the fermentation liquid filtered out by the filter cylinder 11 and guide it to the outside of the machine housing 10. It is discharged through the drain pipe 132. The guide block 131 gathers the fermentation liquid at the connection between the drain pipe 132 and the guide plate 13, effectively guiding the fermentation liquid and reducing the residue of the fermentation liquid inside the guide plate 13.

[0024] The material is guided and filtered in multiple stages outside the filter cartridges 11. After processing, multiple hydraulic rods 122 are activated simultaneously to move the two guide plates 121 on the fixed plate 12 laterally, changing the guide plates 121 in contact with the filter cartridges 11. This prevents material residue from accumulating between the filter cartridges 11 and the guide plates 121, thus ensuring that the material is fully guided and filtered.

[0025] See Figure 1 A discharge hopper 102 is fixedly connected between the two inner walls of the casing 10.

[0026] In practice, the filtered material is collected and guided out through the discharge hopper 102 to reduce material residue inside the casing 10.

[0027] See Figure 2 Multiple hydraulic rods 122 are fixedly connected to one outer wall of the chassis 10, and the output end of the hydraulic rods 122 is fixedly connected to the adjacent fixed plate 12.

[0028] In practice, by setting up multiple hydraulic rods 122, activating the hydraulic rods 122 can drive the fixed plate 12 to move the two guide plates 121 synchronously. Only one of the two guide plates 121 on the fixed plate 12 keeps in contact with the filter cartridge 11 at a time, guiding the material in one direction. This allows the material to be guided alternately between multiple filter cartridges 11, increasing the contact time between the material and the filter cartridge 11, thereby enhancing the filtration effect.

[0029] See Figure 3 Multiple guide plates 13 are fixedly connected through one inner wall of the chassis 10. One end of the guide plate 13 is fixedly connected to a drain pipe 132. Two guide blocks 131 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the guide plate 13.

[0030] In practice, the guide plate 13 can collect the fermentation liquid filtered out by the filter cartridge 11 and guide it to the outside of the machine box 10, and discharge it through the drain pipe 132. The guide block 131 gathers the fermentation liquid at the connection between the drain pipe 132 and the guide plate 13, effectively guides the fermentation liquid, and reduces the residue of the fermentation liquid inside the guide plate 13.

[0031] See Figure 1-3 One end of the filter cartridge 11 is fixedly connected to a limiting plate 111, which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing 10. A shaft 112 is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting plate 111. The shaft 112 passes through the housing 10 and extends to its outside. A bevel gear 113 is fixedly sleeved on one end of the shaft 112.

[0032] A vertical tube 14 is rotatably connected to the other outer wall of the chassis 10. Two bevel gears 141 and one bevel gear 142 are fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the vertical tube 14. Both bevel gears 141 and 142 mesh with the adjacent bevel gear 113. A motor 143 is fixedly connected to the other outer wall of the chassis 10. The output end of the motor 143 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the vertical tube 14.

[0033] A protective shell 144 is fixed to the other outer wall of the chassis 10.

[0034] In practice, the protective shell 144 protects the internal transmission components. The motor 143 is started to drive the vertical tube 14 to rotate, thereby driving the second bevel gear 141 and the third bevel gear 142 to rotate. Through the transmission between the second bevel gear 141 and the third bevel gear 142 and the first bevel gear 113, multiple filter cartridges 11 are driven to rotate. The filter cartridge 11 located in the middle always rotates in the opposite direction to the other two filter cartridges 11. The material enters the machine box 10 from the feed pipe 101 and falls into the top of the uppermost filter cartridge 11. As the filter cartridge 11 rotates, the material is guided to one side. During the process, the fermentation liquid and other materials are filtered out and fall into the guide plate 13. The material is guided and filtered in multiple stages outside the multiple filter cartridges 11. After processing, multiple hydraulic rods 122 are started simultaneously to move the two guide plates 121 on the fixed plate 12 laterally, changing the guide plates 121 in contact with the filter cartridges 11, thereby preventing material residue from accumulating between the filter cartridges 11 and the guide plates 121, and ensuring that the material is fully guided and filtered.

[0035] Working principle: The material enters the machine housing 10 through the feed pipe 101 and falls onto the top of the uppermost filter cylinder 11. The motor 143 is started to drive the vertical pipe 14 to rotate, which in turn drives the bevel gear 2 141 and bevel gear 3 142 to rotate. Through the transmission between bevel gear 2 141 and bevel gear 3 142 and bevel gear 1 113, multiple filter cylinders 11 are driven to rotate. The filter cylinder 11 located in the middle always rotates in the opposite direction to the other two filter cylinders 11. As the filter cylinder 11 rotates, the material is guided to one side. During the process, the fermentation liquid and other materials are filtered out and fall into the guide plate 13. The guide plate 13 can collect the fermentation liquid filtered out by the filter cylinder 11 and guide it to the outside of the machine housing 10. It is discharged through the drain pipe 132. The guide block 131 gathers the fermentation liquid at the connection between the drain pipe 132 and the guide plate 13, effectively guiding the fermentation liquid and reducing the residue of the fermentation liquid inside the guide plate 13.

[0036] The material is guided and filtered in multiple stages outside the filter cartridges 11. After processing, multiple hydraulic rods 122 are activated simultaneously to move the two guide plates 121 on the fixed plate 12 laterally, changing the guide plates 121 in contact with the filter cartridges 11. This prevents material residue from accumulating between the filter cartridges 11 and the guide plates 121, thus ensuring that the material is fully guided and filtered.

[0037] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
