Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fermentation tank technology, specifically to a microbial liquid fermentation tank that facilitates sampling. Background Technology
[0002] Microorganisms are a general term for all tiny organisms that are invisible or barely visible to the naked eye. They are small in size and have simple structures, and usually require an optical microscope or an electron microscope to see clearly. Microbial liquid fermentation is a biotechnology that uses microorganisms to grow and metabolize in a liquid culture medium to produce various useful products. However, current microbial liquid fermentation tanks are not convenient for sampling, which makes it difficult to know the fermentation status.
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, a utility model patent with publication number CN218999400U discloses a microbial liquid fermenter that facilitates sampling. It moves the material into a sampling trough by pulling a movable plate, allowing sampling of each layer. After sampling, the sampling tube is disassembled for further sampling. While this facilitates sampling of the microbial liquid fermentation material, it requires pulling the movable plate and disassembling the sampling tube during sampling. This process also allows other microorganisms to easily enter the fermenter, potentially affecting the fermentation and cultivation effect of the microbial liquid. Utility Model Content

[0043] 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.
[0044] Please see Figures 1 to 5 A microbial liquid fermentation tank for easy sampling includes a tank body 1, a stirring drum 2, a stirring assembly, a feed inlet, a baffle plate 3, baffle rods 4, a suction pipe 5, a suction port, and a suction assembly. The stirring drum 2 is rotatably mounted on the tank body 1. An anti-wear pad is fixedly connected to the top of the tank body 1, and the anti-wear pad has a rotation port for the stirring drum 2 to reduce rotational wear between the stirring drum 2 and the tank body 1. The stirring assembly is mounted on the stirring drum 2. Multiple feed inlets are provided, and the multiple feed inlets are inclined and equidistantly located on the stirring drum 2. All feed inlets are conical, with a larger diameter at the end of the feed inlet near the suction pipe 5 to reduce the amount of microbial liquid fermentation material entering the stirring drum 2 when not sampling. The baffle plate 3 is movably mounted in each feed inlet. Two baffle rods 4 are provided, and both baffle rods 4 are fixedly connected in each feed inlet. Under normal conditions, the baffle plate 3 will be located at the feed end of the feed inlet due to gravity, blocking the feed inlet. The baffle plate 3 is designed to reduce the amount of microbial fermentation material entering the feed inlet. When the baffle plate 3 is adsorbed, it moves away from the feed inlet and is exposed, allowing the microbial liquid fermentation material to enter the suction pipe 5 through the feed inlet and suction port. At the same time, the two baffle rods 4 will block the adjacent baffle plate 3 to prevent the baffle plate 3 from being sucked into the suction port. The suction pipe 5 is slidably installed inside the mixing drum 2. There are two suction ports, which are symmetrically opened on the suction pipe 5. When the suction port moves to the same position as the adjacent feed inlet, the microbial liquid in the tank 1 can be sampled, so that microbial liquid of different layers can be sampled according to the sampling requirements. The suction assembly is installed on the suction pipe 5. A sealing gasket 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the mixing drum 2. The sealing gasket 17 has a through-hole for the movement of the suction pipe 5, which can seal the suction pipe 5 on the mixing drum 2 and reduce the entry of other microorganisms into the mixing drum 2 when the suction pipe 5 is sampling.
[0045] refer to Figure 3 as well as Figure 4The material suction assembly includes an electric cylinder 6, a support base 7, a delivery pump 8, a connector 9, and a sampling tube 10. The electric cylinder 6 is installed on the top of the tank body 1. The support base 7 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric cylinder 6. The delivery pump 8 is installed on the support base 7. The connector 9 connects the delivery pump 8 and the material suction tube 5. The sampling tube 10 is connected to the delivery pump 8 and is connected to external sampling equipment, which can directly transport the sampled microbial liquid fermentation material into the sampling equipment.
[0046] When it is necessary to sample the microbial liquid fermentation material at different locations, the electric cylinder 6 is started, causing the support base 7 to drive the conveying pump 8 and the connector 9 to move, so that the suction pipe 5 can move inside the mixing drum 2. When the suction pipe 5 moves to the appropriate sampling height, the two suction ports will correspond to the two adjacent feed ports. Then the conveying pump 8 is started, causing the suction pipe 5 to be drawn into the two adjacent baffles 3 through the two suction ports. The two baffles 3 move gradually closer to the suction ports within the two feed ports, exposing the feed ports. Then the microbial liquid fermentation material will enter the suction pipe 5 through the two feed ports and the two suction ports. Then the sampled microbial liquid fermentation material will enter the sampling equipment for processing through the conveying pump 8 and the sampling pipe 10.
[0047] refer to Figure 1 as well as Figure 3 The mixing assembly includes a mounting frame 11, a motor 12, a main gear 13, a driven wheel 14, and S-shaped mixing plates 15. The mounting frame 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the mixing drum 2. The motor 12 is mounted on the mounting frame 11, and the output end of the motor 12 is rotatably connected to the inner bottom wall of the mounting frame 11. The main gear 13 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 12. The driven wheel 14 is fixedly fitted on the mixing drum 2, and the main gear 13 meshes with the driven wheel 14. Multiple S-shaped mixing plates 15 are provided, and the multiple S-shaped mixing plates 15 are arranged in a circumferential array on the mixing drum 2, and the multiple S-shaped mixing plates 15 are staggered from top to bottom.
[0048] When the motor 12 is started, the stirring drum 2 can rotate through the meshing of the main gear 13 and the driven wheel 14. At the same time, the stirring drum 2 will drive multiple S-shaped stirring plates 15 to rotate. The stirring range of the multiple S-shaped stirring plates 15 is large, which can uniformly stir the microbial liquid in the tank 1 in all directions, thereby improving the fermentation effect of the microbial liquid.
[0049] refer to Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 An elastic baffle 16 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the mixing drum 2, and the elastic baffle 16 is fixedly connected to the suction pipe 5.
[0050] When the suction pipe 5 moves inside the mixing drum 2, the elastic baffle 16 will expand and contract accordingly, thereby blocking several adjacent feed inlets and reducing the amount of microbial fermentation material entering the mixing drum 2.
[0051] refer to Figure 1 The top of the tank body 1 is connected to a feed pipe 18, which is equipped with a feed valve, and the bottom of the tank body 1 is connected to a discharge pipe 19, which is equipped with a discharge valve.
[0052] Activating the feed valve allows the microbial liquid to enter the tank 1 through the feed pipe 18 for storage and fermentation. At the same time, opening the discharge valve allows the microbial liquid fermentation product to be discharged and processed.
[0053] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to stir the microbial liquid in the tank 1, the motor 12 is started, and the motor 12 drives the stirring drum 2 to rotate through the meshing of the main gear 13 and the driven wheel 14. At this time, the stirring drum 2 will drive multiple S-shaped stirring plates 15 to rotate, so as to stir the microbial liquid in the tank 1 in all directions and evenly, thereby improving the fermentation effect of the microbial liquid. When it is necessary to sample the microbial liquid fermentation product, the electric cylinder 6 is started, so that the support base 7, the delivery pump 8, the connector 9 and the suction pipe 5 move. When the suction pipe 5 moves to a suitable sampling height and the two suction ports are aligned with the two adjacent feed ports, the delivery pump 8 is started, so that the suction pipe 5 is drawn to the two adjacent baffle plates 3 through the two suction ports, and the two baffle plates 3 move gradually closer to the suction ports within the two feed ports, exposing the feed ports. Then the microbial liquid fermentation product will enter the suction pipe 5 through the feed ports and suction ports for sampling.
