Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of enzyme storage technology, and in particular to an enzyme storage tank that is easy to disinfect. Background Technology

[0002] Enzymes are products containing specific bioactive components, obtained through microbial fermentation of animal, plant, and fungal raw materials. Enzymes are categorized by application field (edible enzymes, environmental enzymes, daily chemical enzymes, feed enzymes, and agricultural enzymes), production process (pure-culture fermentation enzymes, multi-culture fermentation enzymes, and compound fermentation enzymes), raw material type (plant enzymes, fungal enzymes, animal enzymes, and other enzymes), and form (liquid enzymes, solid enzymes, and semi-solid enzymes). Storage of enzymes requires the use of enzyme storage tanks. After storage, enzymes need to be sterilized to prepare for future storage in the tanks.

[0003] However, in existing enzyme storage tanks, the nozzle angle is fixed during high-temperature sterilization and cannot be changed. Because of this fixed angle, the high-temperature steam or hot water may not cover all areas of the tank, especially corners and edges. For example, the junction between the inner wall and bottom of the tank, the bottom of the stirrer, and certain parts of the top can easily become sterilization dead zones, preventing the effective killing of microorganisms and affecting the overall sterilization effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an enzyme storage tank that is easy to sterilize, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An enzyme storage tank that is easy to disinfect includes a storage tank, a disinfection rotating assembly, and a disinfection adjusting assembly. The storage tank has a sealed door at the top and a liquid outlet at the bottom. The disinfection rotating assembly is mounted on the storage tank and is rotatably connected to it. The disinfection adjusting assembly is located inside the disinfection rotating assembly and includes an adjusting component and two jet rotating components. The two jet rotating components are equally spaced vertically inside the disinfection adjusting assembly, and the adjusting component can drive the jet rotating components to rotate on the disinfection rotating assembly.

[0007] A further technical solution is provided, wherein the disinfection rotating assembly includes a rotating motor, a rotating shaft, a first pulley, a second pulley, and a belt. The rotating motor is located on the side wall of the storage tank, the first pulley is located on the main shaft of the rotating motor, the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the storage tank and extends to the top of the storage tank, the rotating shaft has a hollow structure, the second pulley is disposed on the rotating shaft, the belt is sleeved on the first pulley and the second pulley, and the outer wall of the rotating shaft is provided with two layers of rotating rods arranged at equal intervals, each layer having three rotating rods, the rotating rods being horizontally connected to the side wall of the rotating shaft.

[0008] In a further technical solution, the rotating rod has a rotating groove inside, and the side wall of the rotating rod has a through groove that communicates with the rotating groove. The orientation of the through groove on each rotating rod is different.

[0009] In a further technical solution, the adjusting component includes a drive motor and a drive shaft. The drive motor is located inside the rotating shaft, and the top of the drive shaft is connected to the main shaft of the drive motor. The drive shaft is provided with two drive bevel gears that are equally spaced vertically.

[0010] In a further technical solution, both of the jet rotating components are connected to two driving bevel gears; each jet rotating component includes a rotating bevel gear, a rotating jet pipe and several jet holes, the rotating jet pipe is rotatably connected in a rotating groove, the rotating bevel gear is located at the end of the rotating jet pipe, the rotating bevel gear meshes with the driving bevel gear, several jet holes are arranged on one side of the rotating jet pipe, and the rotating jet pipe is provided with an air inlet pipe extending outward from the inside of the rotating shaft.

[0011] In a further technical solution, the jet direction of several jet holes is different.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This invention utilizes a rotating motor to drive a first pulley, which in turn drives a second pulley via a belt. This causes a rotating shaft to rotate on the storage tank. The rotation of the shaft, in turn, drives several rotating rods. During the disinfection process, these rotating rods drive several rotating jet nozzles to rotate, disinfecting different areas inside the tank. This expands the disinfection range: the rotating jet nozzles, driven by the rotating rods, continuously change their spray direction, enabling comprehensive, multi-angle disinfection of the storage tank's interior. Corners and edges that are difficult for fixed jet nozzles to reach are now covered by high-temperature gas, effectively eliminating disinfection blind spots and ensuring thorough disinfection of the entire storage tank. It also enhances the disinfection effect: the rotation of the jet nozzles allows for more even distribution of high-temperature gas within the storage tank. Spraying at different positions and angles ensures better contact between the gas and the tank's inner walls, bottom, and top, preventing localized areas of excessively high or low gas concentrations. Furthermore, the more uniform contact time between the high-temperature gas and the tank's inner surface during rotation contributes to improved consistency and thoroughness of disinfection.

[0014] Other features and advantages of this invention will be described in detail in the following detailed description section. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1-5 As shown; this utility model provides a technical solution for an enzyme storage tank that is easy to disinfect: an enzyme storage tank that is easy to disinfect includes a storage tank 1, a disinfection rotating assembly 2, and a disinfection adjusting assembly 3. The top of the storage tank 1 is provided with a sealed door 11, and the bottom of the storage tank 1 is provided with a liquid outlet 12. The disinfection rotating assembly 2 is disposed on the storage tank 1 and is rotatably connected to the storage tank 1. The disinfection adjusting assembly 3 is disposed inside the disinfection rotating assembly 2. The disinfection adjusting assembly 3 includes an adjusting component 31 and two jet rotating components 32. The two jet rotating components 32 are disposed at equal intervals inside the disinfection adjusting assembly 3. The adjusting component 31 can drive the jet rotating components 32 to rotate on the disinfection rotating assembly 2.

[0023] It should be noted that during the sterilization of storage tank 1, the outlet 12 and the sealed door 11 must be in a sealed state to facilitate subsequent sterilization of storage tank 1. The connecting pipe is connected to a steam generator in the prior art, and saturated steam is introduced to rapidly raise the temperature inside storage tank 1 to 121-134℃ and maintain it for 15-30 minutes. The steam can penetrate into all corners of storage tank 1, including some hard-to-reach gaps and crevices, resulting in good sterilization effect.

[0024] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the disinfection rotating assembly 2 includes a rotating motor 21, a rotating shaft 22, a first pulley 23, a second pulley 24, and a belt 25. The rotating motor 21 is located on the side wall of the storage tank 1. The first pulley 23 is located on the main shaft of the rotating motor 21. The rotating shaft 22 is rotatably connected to the storage tank 1 and extends to the top of the storage tank 1. The rotating shaft 22 has a hollow structure. The second pulley 24 is disposed on the rotating shaft 22. The belt 25 is sleeved on the first pulley 23 and the second pulley 24. The outer wall of the rotating shaft 22 is provided with two layers of rotating rods 26 arranged at equal intervals, with three rotating rods in each layer. The rotating rods 26 are horizontally connected to the side wall of the rotating shaft 22.

[0025] When disinfecting different locations inside storage tank 1, the rotating motor 21 drives the first pulley 23 to rotate, which in turn drives the second pulley 24 to rotate via the belt 25. This causes the rotating shaft 22 to rotate on storage tank 1. When the rotating shaft 22 rotates, it drives several rotating rods 26 to rotate. During the disinfection process of storage tank 1, the rotation of the rotating rods 26 drives several rotating jet pipes 322 to rotate, thus disinfecting different locations inside storage tank 1.

[0026] The disinfection range can be expanded: the rotating jet pipe 322, driven by the rotating rod 26, continuously changes the jet direction, enabling all-round and multi-angle spray disinfection of the interior of storage tank 1. Corners and edges that were originally difficult to reach by the fixed jet pipe can also be covered by high-temperature gas under the action of the rotating jet pipe 322, effectively eliminating disinfection dead corners and ensuring that the entire interior of storage tank 1 is fully disinfected;

[0027] Enhanced disinfection effect: The rotation of the jet pipe 322 allows the high-temperature gas to be more evenly distributed within the storage tank 1. Jet jets at different positions and angles ensure better contact between the gas and the inner wall, bottom, and top of the storage tank 1, preventing localized areas of excessively high or low gas concentration. Simultaneously, the contact time between the high-temperature gas and the inner surface of the storage tank 1 during rotation is more uniform, contributing to improved consistency and thoroughness of disinfection.

[0028] The rotation of the rotating rod 26 also promotes air circulation, which is beneficial to the overall airflow inside the can. On the one hand, it accelerates the circulation of fresh, high-temperature gas, allowing it to reach all parts more quickly; on the other hand, it also helps to promptly remove existing cold air, moisture, and condensate generated during the disinfection process, maintaining a good disinfection environment inside the can and improving disinfection efficiency.

[0029] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 5 As shown, the rotating rod 26 has a rotating groove 27 inside, and a through groove 28 connected to the rotating groove 27 is provided on the side wall of the rotating rod 26. The orientation of the through groove 28 on each rotating rod 26 is different.

[0030] With different orientations of the through-slot 28, high-temperature gas can be sprayed outwards to different locations inside the storage tank 1 during disinfection, resulting in more comprehensive disinfection.

[0031] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 4As shown, the adjusting component 31 includes a drive motor 311 and a drive shaft 312. The drive motor 311 is located inside the rotating shaft 22. The top of the drive shaft 312 is connected to the main shaft of the drive motor 311. The drive shaft 312 is provided with two drive bevel gears 313 arranged at equal intervals. Both jet rotating components 32 are connected to the two drive bevel gears 313. Each jet rotating component 32 includes a rotating bevel gear 321, a rotating jet pipe 322, and several jet holes 323. The rotating jet pipe 322 is rotatably connected in the rotating groove 27. The rotating bevel gear 321 is located at the end of the rotating jet pipe 322 and meshes with the drive bevel gear 313. Several jet holes 323 are provided on one side of the rotating jet pipe 322. The rotating jet pipe 322 is provided with an air inlet pipe extending outward from inside the rotating shaft 22. The jet directions of the several jet holes 323 are different.

[0032] During the storage and fermentation of enzymes, the side of the rotating jet pipe 322 with the jet hole 323 is rotated to a position opposite to the through groove 28. Under the rotation of the rotating motor 21, the enzymes can rotate and ferment evenly, and the fermented material will not block the jet hole 323.

[0033] After the fermentation of the enzyme is completed, the liquid is discharged out through the outlet 12, and the inside of the storage tank 1 is cleaned and then disinfected.

[0034] The drive motor 311 drives the drive shaft 312 to rotate, which in turn drives the two drive bevel gears 313 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating bevel gear 321 to rotate. This causes the rotating jet pipe 322 to rotate in the rotating groove 27 inside the rotating rod 26, rotating the side of the rotating jet pipe 322 with the jet holes 323 to connect with the through groove 28. Then, steam is discharged outward through several jet holes 323 to perform high-temperature sterilization in the storage tank 1.

[0035] The different air jet directions of the various jet nozzles 323 offer advantages during disinfection:

[0036] This ensures more uniform disinfection: gases sprayed from different angles can cover every corner of the storage tank 1, avoiding any disinfection dead spots. For example, gases sprayed diagonally downwards from the top can act on the connection between the tank wall and the bottom, while gases sprayed upwards from the bottom can effectively disinfect the top of the tank and the upper space inside the tank, ensuring that the entire inner surface of the storage tank 1 can fully contact the high-temperature gas, thereby achieving a more comprehensive and uniform disinfection effect.

[0037] Promoting air circulation: The jets from different directions create complex airflow patterns, which are beneficial to the overall airflow inside the canister. On the one hand, this accelerates the circulation of fresh, high-temperature gas, allowing it to reach all parts more quickly; on the other hand, it also helps to promptly remove existing cold air, moisture, and condensate generated during the disinfection process, maintaining a good disinfection environment inside the canister and improving disinfection efficiency.

[0038] Reducing localized overheating: If the gas is ejected from only one direction, certain areas within storage tank 1 may receive excessive heat, leading to localized overheating. This could adversely affect the material of the enzyme storage tank 1 or the enzyme components remaining inside. Multi-angle jetting, on the other hand, allows heat to be distributed more evenly within the tank, reducing the risk of localized overheating and protecting the stability of storage tank 1 and any enzyme components that may remain within it.

[0039] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
