DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1-9 The technical scheme of the present application is a heat recycling fermentation tank, which comprises a tank body 1, a sealing cover 2, a heat-conducting copper plate 3, a semiconductor power generation plate 4, a heat dissipation fin 5, a medium interface 6, a fan 7, a support frame 8, a first bolt 9, a bearing frame 10, a heat exchange copper pipe 11, a water pump 12, a second bolt 13, a prop bolt 14, a spring 15, and a threaded cover 16.

[0033] The tank body 1 of the fermentation tank is a core component, and is internally provided with heat preservation material and a heating assembly. The heat preservation material can effectively reduce heat loss and create a stable temperature environment for fermentation. The heating assembly cooperates with a sensor to accurately adjust the temperature in the tank according to the fermentation process requirements, so as to ensure that the microbial fermentation is in the best state. The sealing cover 2 is hingedly connected to the top of the tank body 1, which facilitates the addition and removal of materials. The inside of the tank body 1 is a hollow structure for accommodating fermentation materials. The medium interface 6 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the tank body 1 and is in communication with the hollow cavity of the tank body 1, and is used for pouring heat-conducting medium. The threaded cover 16 is threadedly connected to the top of the interface, and the upper surface of the threaded cover 16 is designed as a hexagonal screw structure, which is convenient for tightening or loosening with the aid of a tool, and ensures the sealing of the medium interface 6 to prevent leakage of the heat-conducting medium.

[0034] The heat exchange mechanism is composed of a medium interface 6, a heat exchange copper pipe 11, a heat conduction copper plate 3, a water pump 12 and a threaded cover 16. The heat exchange copper pipe 11 is arranged in the cavity of the tank body 1. The left side of the heat exchange copper pipe 11 is in a spiral shape, which increases the contact area with the fermented materials and improves the heat exchange efficiency. The right side of the heat exchange copper pipe 11 is in an S-shaped circulation loop, which prolongs the flow path of the heat conduction medium and strengthens the heat transfer effect. The water pump 12 is connected in series with the lower right side of the heat exchange copper pipe 11 and is driven by a side-mounted motor. When the water pump 12 is started, the heat conduction medium is pumped into the heat exchange copper pipe 11. After the heat conduction medium absorbs the heat generated by the fermented materials, the heat conduction medium is transported to the heat conduction copper plate 3 by the water pump 12, so as to realize heat transfer. The right side of the heat exchange copper pipe 11 is fixedly connected with the heat conduction copper plate 3. High-performance heat-conducting silicone grease is filled between the heat exchange copper pipe 11 and the heat conduction copper plate 3, so as to enhance the heat conduction effect.

[0035] The tank body 1 is provided with a recovery mechanism including a bearing frame 10, a semiconductor power generation plate 4, a heat dissipation fin 5 and a fan 7. The semiconductor power generation plate 4 is composed of a plurality of thermoelectric refrigeration pieces and is the core component of the recovery mechanism. When there is a temperature difference between the hot end of the heat conduction copper plate 3 and the cold end of the heat dissipation fin 5, the semiconductor power generation plate 4 continuously generates electric energy, so as to realize the conversion of heat energy into electric energy. The side surface of the heat conduction copper plate 3 is fixedly connected with the bearing frame 10. The semiconductor power generation plate 4 and the heat dissipation fin 5 are sequentially stacked on the side surface of the bearing frame 10. High-performance heat-conducting silicone grease is filled between the semiconductor power generation plate 4, the heat dissipation fin 5 and the bearing frame 10, so as to ensure smooth heat conduction. The heat dissipation fin 5 is provided with a groove which is matched with the inner protrusion of the bearing frame 10. The groove not only facilitates the installation of the heat dissipation fin 5, but also enhances the connection stability.

[0036] The fan 7 is composed of a support assembly and a motor. The fan 7 is limitingly fixed with the bearing frame 10 through a first bolt 9. The bearing frame 10 is provided with a guide rail structure corresponding to the installation position of the fan 7, so as to facilitate the installation and disassembly of the fan 7 and ensure the working stability of the fan 7. The bearing frame 10 is screw-fixed with a support frame 8 through a second bolt 13. The support frame 8 and the bearing frame 10 are slidably connected with a pushing bolt 14. The pushing bolt 14 is sleeved with a spring 15. The spring 15 has elastic potential energy. During the installation or working process, the spring 15 generates elastic force to push the pushing bolt 14 to move. Since the pushing bolt 14 cooperates with the bearing frame 10 and the support frame 8, the bearing frame 10 will be subjected to a force in the direction of the heat conduction copper plate 3, the semiconductor power generation plate 4 and the heat dissipation fin 5 under the elastic force of the spring 15, so as to make the heat conduction copper plate 3, the semiconductor power generation plate 4 and the heat dissipation fin 5 more closely connected. This not only reduces the gap between the components, reduces the thermal resistance in the heat conduction process, improves the heat energy transfer efficiency, but also makes the structure of the whole recovery mechanism more stable, ensures the stable power generation of the semiconductor power generation plate 4 and improves the reliability of the heat recovery and utilization of the fermentation tank.

[0037] Working principle: when using a heat recycling fermentation tank, first open the threaded cover 16, pour the heat conducting medium into the heat exchange copper pipe 11 in the tank body 1 through the medium interface 6, after pouring is completed, tighten the threaded cover 16, put the material to be fermented into the cavity of the tank body 1, close the sealing cover 2, start the heating assembly, and adjust the temperature in the tank body 1 to the initial temperature suitable for fermentation under the monitoring of the sensor;

[0038] With the progress of the fermentation process, the fermented material will generate heat, and the heat will be transferred to the heat conducting medium in the heat exchange copper pipe 11, at this time, start the water pump 12, and the heat conducting medium circulates in the heat exchange copper pipe 11 under the driving of the water pump 12, after the heat conducting medium absorbs heat, the temperature rises, and is transported to the heat conducting copper plate 3, since the heat conducting copper plate 3, the semiconductor power generation plate 4 and the heat dissipation fin 5 are all filled with high-performance heat conducting silicone grease, the heat can be quickly transferred from the heat conducting copper plate 3 to the semiconductor power generation plate 4 and the heat dissipation fin 5;

[0039] The semiconductor power generation plate 4 generates electric energy under the temperature difference between the hot end of the heat conducting copper plate 3 and the cold end of the heat dissipation fin 5, after the fan 7 is started, the air flow around the heat dissipation fin 5 is accelerated, the heat of the heat dissipation fin 5 is taken away, the temperature difference between the heat dissipation fin 5 and the heat conducting copper plate 3 is maintained, and the semiconductor power generation plate 4 continuously and stably generates electric energy is ensured;

[0040] The generated electric energy is stored for use for powering the auxiliary equipment of the fermentation tank, at the same time, the temperature sensor on the surface of the heat exchange copper pipe 11 monitors the temperature of the heat conducting medium in real time, and feeds back the temperature data to the control system, the control system automatically adjusts the rotating speed of the water pump 12 according to the temperature data, when the temperature is too high, the rotating speed of the water pump 12 is increased, the circulating speed of the heat conducting medium is accelerated, and the heat transfer effect is enhanced, when the temperature is too low, the rotating speed of the water pump 12 is reduced, and the energy consumption is reduced.

[0041] Therefore, a series of work is completed, and the contents not described in detail in the specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0042] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, replacements and modifications can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirits of the present application, the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
