Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of enzyme degradation technology, and in particular to a fermenter for producing fungal toxin degradation enzymes. Background Technology

[0002] A fermenter for producing mycotoxin-degrading enzymes is a device specifically designed for the large-scale production of mycotoxin-degrading enzymes. This fermenter provides a suitable growth environment in which microorganisms (such as specific bacteria or fungi) can multiply and produce enzymes with degradation functions. These enzymes can effectively degrade mycotoxins in food or feed, ensuring the safety of food and feed.

[0003] Currently available enzyme fermenters rely on a single blade for stirring, which is a rather limited method and makes it difficult to thoroughly mix materials that have settled at the bottom. In addition, the sealed design of the fermenters, while effectively preventing external contamination, makes it difficult to add raw materials during the fermentation process, increasing the complexity and inconvenience of production. Utility Model Content

[0006] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a fermenter for the production of mycotoxin-degrading enzymes, which addresses the problems of "the mixing method being relatively simple and difficult to fully mix when dealing with sediment. In addition, although the sealed design of the fermenter can effectively prevent external contamination, it is difficult to add raw materials during the fermentation process, increasing the complexity and inconvenience of production."

[0031] Secondly, this utility model is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When describing the embodiments of this utility model, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views illustrating the device structure may be partially enlarged, not adhering to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 2 , Figures 4 to 6 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a fermenter for the production of fungal toxin degrading enzymes. It can achieve full stirring through the stirring plate during fermentation and can prevent the material from settling to the bottom and causing insufficient stirring. It is also convenient to add raw materials during the fermentation process. It includes a fixing frame 100.

[0034] The material handling unit 200 includes a fermentation tank 201 mounted on a fixed frame 100, a driving component 202 mounted on the fixed frame 100, a stirring rod 203 mounted on the driving component 202, and a temperature control component 204 mounted inside the fermentation tank 201.

[0035] The feeding unit 300 includes a feeding cylinder 301 disposed on the fermentation tank 201, a sealing plug 302 disposed on the feeding cylinder 301, and a locking member 303 disposed on the sealing plug 302.

[0036] During stirring, the drive component 202 is turned on, which drives the stirring rod 203 to fully stir the material in the fermentation tank 201. Under the action of the drive component 202, the stirring rod 203 can be rotated in both directions, making the stirring direction more diverse. When it is necessary to add raw materials during the fermentation process, the locking component 303 can be turned on to release the sealing plug 302 from the feeding cylinder 301. Then the sealing plug 302 can be removed, and materials or reagents can be added through the feeding cylinder 301. After the addition is completed, the sealing plug 302 and the feeding cylinder 301 are sealed together by the locking component 303.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, the driving component 202 includes a mounting frame 202a fixedly mounted on the fixed frame 100, a motor 202b fixedly mounted on the fixed frame 100, a connecting block 202c fixedly mounted at the output end of the motor 202b, a swing plate 202d mounted on the mounting frame 202a, a sector gear 202e fixedly mounted at one end of the swing plate 202d, a transmission gear 202f rotatably mounted on the fixed frame 100, a connecting groove 202d-1 opened on the swing plate 202d, a limiting plate 202c-1 mounted on the connecting block 202c, the limiting plate 202c-1 slidingly connected to the connecting groove 202d-1, the sector gear 202e meshing with the transmission gear 202f, the lower end of the transmission gear 202f fixedly connected to the stirring rod 203, and three sets of stirring plates mounted on the stirring rod 203.

[0039] Furthermore, when the motor 202b is turned on, the output end of the motor 202b drives the connecting block 202c to rotate. Then, through the limit plate 202c-1 sliding on the connecting groove 202d-1, the swing plate 202d swings, causing the sector gear 202e to move accordingly. Through meshing, the transmission gear 202f rotates, which in turn drives the stirring rod 203 to drive the stirring plate to stir the material in the fermentation tank 201. When facing the material that has settled to the bottom, the bottom set of stirring plates will fully stir it. The stirring rod 203 will rotate forward and backward with the transmission gear 202f, so that the material in the fermentation tank 201 can be fully stirred under the action of the stirring plate.

[0040] Furthermore, the temperature control component 204 includes a placement cavity 204a opened in the fermentation tank 201, a water pump 204c installed in the placement cavity 204a, a temperature control water tank 204b installed at the upper end of the placement cavity 204a, an inlet pipe 204e installed on the temperature control water tank 204b, a water delivery pipe 204d installed on the water pump 204c, and a circulation pipe laid on the inner wall of the fermentation tank 201, one end of the circulation pipe being connected to the inlet pipe 204e, and the other end of the circulation pipe being connected to the water delivery pipe 204d.

[0041] When it is necessary to control the temperature inside the fermenter 201, open the temperature-controlled water tank 204b and adjust the water inside to a suitable temperature. Then, turn on the water pump 204c and deliver the water at the suitable temperature to the circulation pipe through the water supply pipe 204d connected to the water pump 204c. The water at the suitable temperature in the circulation pipe is then delivered to the temperature-controlled water tank 204b through the water inlet pipe 204e for further temperature adjustment.

[0042] Furthermore, the locking component 303 includes a limiting groove 303a formed on the sealing plug 302, a limiting block 303b slidably disposed in the limiting groove 303a, a retainer 303c fixedly mounted on the limiting block 303b, a connecting spring 303d disposed on the retainer 303c, a clamping plate 303e fixedly disposed on the connecting spring 303d, and a clamping post 303f fixedly disposed on the feeding cylinder 301. The limiting block 303b is a T-shaped block, the limiting groove 303a is a T-shaped groove, the inner wall of the limiting groove 303a is tightly fitted with the limiting block 303b, and a circular groove is formed on the clamping plate 303e. The clamping plate 303e and the clamping post 303f are used together.

[0043] When it is necessary to add material, push the card plate 303e to both sides so that the circular groove on the card plate 303e disengages from the card post 303f. Then pull the retainer 303c upward so that the retainer 303c moves along the direction of the movement of the limit block 303b in the limit groove 303a, thereby causing the card post 303f to disengage from the card plate 303e. At this time, the sealing plug 302 can be pulled to remove it from the feeding cylinder 301, and material can be added to the fermentation tank 201 through the feeding cylinder 301.

[0044] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing 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.
