Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of bio-fermentation technology, and specifically relates to a bio-fermenter that improves the efficiency of microbial fermentation. Background Technology

[0002] A fermenter used for microbial fermentation includes a tank body, a stirring system, an air supply system, a temperature control system, and inlets and outlets. The stirring system is mainly used for gas-liquid mixing, thereby improving oxygen solubility and microbial growth efficiency.

[0003] During microbial fermentation, the size of the bubbles directly affects the contact area between the gas and the liquid. If the bubbles are too large, the contact area is small, which limits the exchange efficiency between the gas and the liquid, reduces oxygen solubility, and thus affects cell growth and metabolism, resulting in a slower growth rate of microorganisms and a longer fermentation cycle.

[0023] Optionally, the crushing tooth extends outward along its center, expanding outward from the center.

[0024] Furthermore, multiple sets of tooth grooves are formed along the circumference of the breaking tooth, making the whole structure gear-shaped.

[0025] The crushing teeth are provided with multiple sets of cutting columns in the circumferential direction.

[0026] The top of the cutting column is triangular.

[0027] Optionally, the flow guide includes a flow guide rod.

[0028] The bottom end of the guide rod is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the inside of the second pipe;

[0039] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0040] (1) By adding a gas distribution system, when the gas is ejected through the outlet of the second pipe, the breaking teeth extend outward along their center, making it expand outward from the center, which facilitates the gas to diffuse outward evenly along its outer wall. Furthermore, the breaking teeth further cut the bubbles to form tiny bubbles, which can effectively prevent the bubbles from becoming too large.

[0041] (2) This utility model uses the coordinated work of the stirring system and the gas distribution system. The tiny bubbles sprayed by the gas distribution system, with the cooperation of the stirring system, make the bubbles fully contact the liquid, thereby enhancing the solubility of the gas.

[0059] Please see Figure 1-6As shown, this embodiment provides a bio-fermentation tank 100 for improving the efficiency of microbial fermentation, including a support 50, a tank body 20 disposed on the support 50, and a sealing cover 10 disposed on the tank body 20. The tank body 20 is provided with a gas distribution system 30, which includes an air inlet end 301, and is connected to an external gas source through the air inlet end 301 to deliver gas into the tank body 20.

[0060] The air distribution system 30 also includes a storage end 302, which is connected to the air inlet end 301;

[0061] The gas outlet of the storage end 302 is connected to the gas supply pipe 303, and a diffuser 60 connected to the gas supply pipe 303 is provided on the gas supply pipe 303.

[0062] A stirring system 40 is provided inside the tank body 20, which is away from the sealing cover 10.

[0063] Furthermore, the diffuser 60 is arranged in multiple groups and is evenly distributed along the transverse direction of the gas supply pipe 303.

[0064] In microbial fermentation, the size of bubbles directly affects the contact area between gas and liquid. Excessively large bubbles result in a small contact area, limiting the efficiency of gas-liquid exchange, reducing oxygen solubility, and thus impacting cell growth and metabolism. This is especially true in aerobic fermentation processes that require oxygen, potentially slowing microbial growth and prolonging the fermentation cycle. For solutions to the problem of excessively large bubbles, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1-6 The diffuser 60 includes a first conduit 601;

[0065] The diffuser 60 further includes a second pipe 603, and the shell of the second pipe 603 is double-layered, with a cavity between the two shells and located on the outer wall of the inner shell. The external thread 602 of the first pipe 601 is threadedly connected to the internal thread 609 of the second pipe 603.

[0066] Furthermore, a flow guide 607 is installed inside the second pipe 603 so that the gas is transported into the second pipe 603 under the guidance of the flow guide 607 and ejected through the outlet.

[0067] Furthermore, the second pipe 603 is mounted on the disc 608 via a connecting rod, and is set on the crushing tooth 605 via the disc. During installation, the disc can be fixedly connected by fastening screws or welding. The disc 608 is arranged in two sets, and multiple sets of evenly distributed serrations are opened on the outer periphery of the disc along its circumference.

[0068] Furthermore, the crushing tooth 605 extends outward from its center, expanding outward from the center, and multiple sets of tooth grooves are opened along the circumference of the crushing tooth 605, making it gear-shaped as a whole.

[0069] It should be noted that when the gas is ejected through the outlet of the second pipe 603, the breaking teeth 605 extend outward along their center, allowing the gas to spread evenly outward along their outer wall. Furthermore, the teeth of the breaking teeth 605 further break the bubbles, forming tiny bubbles, which effectively prevents the bubbles from becoming too large.

[0070] Furthermore, in application, the teeth of the breaking tooth 605 can be set to tilt downwards according to actual needs.

[0071] Furthermore, the crushing teeth are provided with multiple sets of cutting columns 604 in the circumferential direction, and the top of the cutting columns 604 is triangular to facilitate better splitting of bubbles.

[0072] Furthermore, the flow guide 607 includes a flow guide rod 6072, and the bottom end of the flow guide rod 6072 is fixedly installed on the bottom end inside the second pipe 603;

[0073] The guide rod 6072 is equipped with a guide vane 6071 that is spirally arranged along its longitudinal direction. The guide vane 6071 is arc-shaped, and a reinforcing end 6073 is provided on the guide vane 6071 near the position of the guide rod 6072.

[0074] It should be noted that the guide vanes can effectively guide the gas to flow along a specific path. The guide vanes help guide the gas effectively before it is ejected, which in turn helps the gas to be ejected at high speed through the outlet of the second pipe.

[0075] Furthermore, the stirring system 40 includes a servo motor 401, which is fixedly mounted on the tank 20 away from the sealing cover by fastening screws. The drive end of the servo motor 401 passes through the tank and extends into the interior of the tank 20, and is connected to the stirring shaft 402 through a bearing assembly. The stirring shaft 402 is connected to the stirring disc 403 along its longitudinal direction through a connector.

[0076] Furthermore, the mixing plate 403 is provided with a plurality of mixing rods 404 along its circumference, and the mixing rods 404 are integrally formed with the mixing plate 403.

[0077] In this embodiment, the servo motor 401 is started to drive the stirring shaft 402 to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring rod 404 to rotate, so as to facilitate thorough mixing.

[0078] It should be noted that through the coordinated operation of the stirring system 40 and the gas distribution system 30, the tiny bubbles ejected by the gas distribution system 30, with the cooperation of the stirring system 40, allow the bubbles to come into full contact with the liquid, thereby enhancing the solubility of the gas.

[0079] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not restrictive. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions to the technical solution of this utility model do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
