AI Technical Summary
Existing fermenters are prone to damaging the triple helix structure of collagen during the preparation process, and the residue on the inner wall contaminates the next batch, leading to product denaturation or loss of function and fermenter contamination.
The system employs a combination of mounting frame and fermentation tank. The fermentation tank is slowly oscillating and mixing is achieved through a gear rack and crank mechanism, while a scraper ring structure cleans impurities from the inner wall, reducing shear force and residue.
This process achieves uniform mixing of collagen, reduces product denaturation, keeps the inner wall of the fermenter clean, avoids contamination, and ensures the purity of subsequent preparations.

[0023] This utility model provides a fermentation tank for collagen preparation. The specific working principle is as follows: A stepper motor on the mounting frame 1 drives the crank 9 to rotate at a low speed. During the rotation of the crank 9, the connecting rod 10 moves in a vertical plane. The slider 6, which is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 10, is driven to slide back and forth on the mounting frame 1 and the slide rod 7. During the back and forth sliding of the rack 5 and the slider 6, the gear 4 meshing with the rack 5 drives the mounting shaft 3 to slowly rotate back and forth on the mounting frame 1, thereby causing the fermentation tank 2 to slowly oscillate back and forth on the mounting frame 1, enhancing the mixing and mass transfer of the internal fermentation raw materials. There is no mechanical stirring inside the fermentation tank 2, reducing shear force and avoiding a decrease in the activity of the internal fermentation raw materials due to shear force. After the internal fermentation raw materials are discharged, the motor in the mounting rod 12 on the mounting cover 11 drives the threaded rod 16 to rotate. During the rotation of the threaded rod 16... Under the action of the limiting groove 18 and the limiting block 19, the threaded tube 17 rotates synchronously. Under the limiting action of the mounting rod 12, the first push rod 13 slides in the mounting rod 12, and the threaded tube 17 slides synchronously with the first push rod 13. During the rotation of the threaded tube 17 with the threaded rod 16, the second push rod 14 slides in the first push rod 13 under the limiting action of the first push rod 13, thereby pushing the scraper ring 15 in the fermenter 2. The scraper ring 15 is in contact with the inner wall of the fermenter 2. Therefore, during the process of the scraper ring 15 being pushed, the impurities attached to the inner wall of the fermenter 2 are pushed to the bottom outlet of the fermenter 2, avoiding the accumulation of a large amount of residue that would cause serious contamination of the fermenter 2 due to residual bacteria or culture medium components. After removing a large amount of impurities from the fermenter 2, it is convenient for the staff to carry out the next step of thorough disinfection and cleaning.
