Description

Sealed microbial feed processing and fermentation device Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed processing technology, and more specifically, to a sealed microbial feed processing and fermentation device. Background Technology

[0002] Microbial feed is a biological fermented feed that uses microorganisms and compound enzymes as fermentation agents to transform feed raw materials into microbial cell protein, bioactive small peptide amino acids, microbial active probiotics, and compound enzyme preparations. This product can not only make up for the amino acids that are easily lacking in conventional feed, but also enable the rapid conversion of nutrients in other roughage raw materials to enhance digestibility and absorption. The fermentation tank is the equipment used to produce microbial feed. After the fermentation raw materials are loaded into the fermentation tank, normal fermentation is carried out to obtain microbial feed.

[0003] In existing fermentation equipment, the feed and microorganisms adhering to the internal surface are inconvenient to clean during long-term operation, which affects the processing quality and is not conducive to long-term operation.

[0004] A search revealed that Chinese patent CN218811688U discloses a microbial feed fermentation tank. The tank can scrape material using a scraper on one side of a support rod, and the connecting arm can be rotated by a rotating gear. This allows for scraping during dispersed operation without affecting the fermentation effect. The tank has a simple structure, is easy to use, and is convenient and practical.

[0005] In actual use, external air can easily enter the fermentation tank through the feed pipe or discharge pipe, resulting in excessively high oxygen content. This can interfere with the fermentation process of microorganisms, leading to reduced fermentation efficiency. At the same time, external debris can enter the fermentation tank with the air, increasing the risk of contamination. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a sealed microbial feed processing and fermentation device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A sealed microbial feed processing and fermentation device includes a fermentation tank. The top of the fermentation tank is connected to a feed pipe, and the bottom of the fermentation tank is connected to a discharge pipe. Sealing components are installed on the inner sides of both the feed pipe and the discharge pipe. A flipping ring is provided on the outer side of the fermentation tank. A support frame is rotatably connected to the outer side of the flipping ring. A first stepper motor is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame. A flipping mechanism is installed on the outer side of the fermentation tank.

[0009] The sealing assembly includes a connecting ring fixedly connected to a feed pipe. A sealing groove is formed on the inner side of the connecting ring. A cover plate is installed above the connecting ring and threadedly connected to the inner side of the connecting ring. A sealing strip is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the cover plate. Multiple connecting posts are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the cover plate. A rubber pad is fixedly connected to the bottom end of each connecting post. A threaded rod is threadedly connected inside the cover plate. A support base is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the threaded rod. The support base is fixedly connected to the inner side of the rubber pad. A threaded block is threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded rod. Multiple first hinge supports are welded to the outer side of the threaded block. A push rod is hinged to the inner side of each first hinge support. A second hinge support is hinged to one end of each push rod. A support ring is fixedly connected to one side of each second hinge support. The support ring is fixedly connected to the inner side of the rubber pad.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the rubber pad is supported by multiple support rings and fits against the inner wall of the sealing groove, so that the feed pipe and the discharge pipe have a good seal, which can effectively prevent microorganisms in the outside air from entering the tank through the feed pipe or the discharge pipe.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: the flipping mechanism includes a spiral blade, which is fixedly connected to the inside of the fermentation tank. Two sliding grooves are opened on the inner side of the flipping ring, and a sliding ring is slidably connected to the inner side of the sliding groove. The sliding ring is welded and fixed to the outside of the fermentation tank. A second stepper motor is fixedly connected to one side of the flipping ring. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the second stepper motor. A gear is inserted into one end of the rotating shaft. A gear plate meshes with one side of the gear. The gear plate is welded and fixedly connected to the outside of the fermentation tank, and the gear plate is rotatably connected to the inside of the flipping ring.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotation of the fermentation tank can turn the feed over through the spiral direction of the spiral blades, which helps microorganisms to better utilize the nutrients in the feed, thereby improving fermentation efficiency.

[0013] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. By setting up a sealing component, compared with the existing technology, the rubber gasket can be attached to the inside of the sealing groove to seal the inside of the feed pipe and the discharge pipe. This can effectively prevent microorganisms in the outside air from entering the tank through the feed pipe or the discharge pipe, and ensure that the pressure inside the tank will not easily leak, thereby maintaining the required fermentation conditions and ensuring the smooth progress of the fermentation process.

[0015] 2. By setting up a turning mechanism, compared with the existing technology, the fermentation tank can be turned over and mixed by the spiral action of the spiral blades, which helps microorganisms to better utilize the nutrients in the feed, thereby improving fermentation efficiency and thus improving the fermentation quality of the feed.

[0023] 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.

[0024] This application discloses a sealed microbial feed processing and fermentation device as shown in Figures 1-6, including a fermentation tank 1, a feed pipe 2 connected to the top of the fermentation tank 1, a discharge pipe 3 connected to the bottom of the fermentation tank 1, sealing components installed inside the feed pipe 2 and the discharge pipe 3, a flipping ring 4 provided on the outside of the fermentation tank 1, a support frame 5 rotatably connected to the outside of the flipping ring 4, a first stepper motor 6 fixedly connected to one side of the support frame 5, and a flipping mechanism installed on the outside of the fermentation tank 1.

[0025] The sealing assembly includes a connecting ring 7, which is fixedly connected to the feed pipe 2. A sealing groove 8 is formed on the inner side of the connecting ring 7. A cover plate 9 is installed above the connecting ring 7 and is threadedly connected to the inner side of the connecting ring 7. A sealing strip 10 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the cover plate 9. Multiple connecting posts 11 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the cover plate 9, and rubber pads 12 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting posts 11. A threaded rod 13 is threadedly connected inside the cover plate 9. A support base 26 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the threaded rod 13 and is fixedly connected to the inner side of the rubber pad 12. A threaded block 14 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded rod 13. Multiple first hinge supports 15 are welded to the outer side of the threaded block 14. A push rod 16 is hinged to the inner side of the first hinge support 15. A second hinge support 17 is hinged to one end of the push rod 16. A support ring 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the second hinge support 17 and is fixedly connected to the inner side of the rubber pad 12. Plate 9 can be connected to connecting ring 7 via threads. Sealing strip 10 can seal the connection between cover plate 9 and connecting ring 7, reducing the amount of air entering the feed pipe 2 and discharge pipe 3 from the connection between connecting ring 7 and cover plate 9. Then, rotating threaded rod 13 causes threaded block 14 to move downwards via threads. Push rod 16 is hinged to the inner sides of first hinge support 15 and second hinge support 17 at both ends, so that the downward movement of threaded block 14 can push support ring 18 to support the inner side of rubber pad 12 via push rod 16. This allows multiple support rings 18 to support rubber pad 12 and fit against the inner wall of sealing groove 8, thereby sealing the inside of feed pipe 2 and discharge pipe 3. This effectively prevents microorganisms in the outside air from entering the tank through feed pipe 2 or discharge pipe 3, ensuring that the pressure inside the tank will not easily leak and guaranteeing the smooth progress of the fermentation process.

[0026] Referring to Figures 3 and 4: the flipping mechanism includes a spiral blade 19, which is fixedly connected to the inside of the fermentation tank 1. Two sliding grooves 20 are formed on the inner side of the flipping ring 4, and a sliding ring 21 is slidably connected to the inner side of each groove 20. The sliding ring 21 is welded and fixed to the outer side of the fermentation tank 1. A second stepper motor 22 is fixedly connected to one side of the flipping ring 4. A rotating shaft 23 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second stepper motor 22. A gear 24 is inserted into one end of the rotating shaft 23, and a gear plate 25 meshes with one side of the gear 24. The gear plate 25 is welded and fixedly connected to the outer side of the fermentation tank 1, and the gear plate 25 is also connected to the flipping ring 4. The internal rotating connection allows the second stepper motor 22 to drive the rotating shaft 23 to rotate reciprocally. The rotating shaft 23 can drive the gear 24 to rotate. The gear 24 meshes with the gear plate 25, which in turn drives the fermentation tank 1 to rotate reciprocally. The slip ring 21 is slidably connected to the inner side of the slide groove 20, which makes it easy for the fermentation tank 1 to rotate stably inside the turning ring 4. Through the spiral direction of the spiral blade 19, the fermentation tank 1 can turn and mix the feed through the spiral blade 19, which helps the microorganisms to better utilize the nutrients in the feed, thereby improving the fermentation efficiency.

[0027] Working principle of this utility model: This utility model designs a sealed microbial feed processing and fermentation device. The specific structure is shown in Figures 1-6 of the specification. In this technical solution, through the cooperation between various structures, when fermentation of microbial feed is required, the microbial feed to be fermented and the fermentation material to be fermented can first be transported into the fermentation tank 1 through the feed pipe 2. When the material transportation is completed, the cover plate 9 is placed above the connecting ring 7, and the rubber gasket 12 is placed inside the sealing groove 8. Then, by rotating the cover plate 9, the cover plate 9 is connected to the connecting ring 7. The sealing strip 10 can connect the cover plate 9 and the connecting ring. 7. A sealing condition is provided at the connection point. Then, the threaded rod 13 is rotated. The threaded rod 13 rotates inside the support base 26, so that the threaded rod 13 can drive the threaded block 14 to move downward through the thread. The two ends of the push rod 16 are respectively hinged to the inner side of the first hinge support 15 and the second hinge support 17, so that the movement of the threaded block 14 can push the support ring 18 to be supported inside the rubber pad 12 through the push rod 16, so that the rubber pad 12 can fit with the inner side of the sealing groove 8, thereby sealing the inner side of the feed pipe 2 and the discharge pipe 3, reducing the entry of external air into the fermenter 1 through the feed pipe 2 and the discharge pipe 3.

[0028] When it is necessary to mix the feed inside the fermentation tank 1, the first stepper motor 6 is started, which drives the support frame 5 to rotate 90° clockwise, so that the support frame 5 can make the fermentation tank 1 horizontal and parallel to the ground. Then, the second stepper motor 22 is started, which drives the rotating shaft 23 to rotate back and forth. The rotating shaft 23 can drive the gear 24 to rotate, so that the gear 24 meshes and drives the gear plate 25 to rotate. The gear plate 25 can drive the fermentation tank 1 to rotate back and forth. By sliding the slip ring 21 on the inner side of the slide groove 20, the fermentation tank 1 can be rotated stably. The internal spiral blades 19 of the fermentation tank 1 can turn the feed inside in a spiral direction to facilitate the full mixing of materials.

Other structures can be referred to with ordinary design. In the absence of conflict, the same embodiment and different embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.
