Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bio-fertilizer production technology, specifically a microbial fermentation tank. Background Technology
[0002] Bio-fertilizer, also known as bio-inoculant fertilizer, is a fertilizer product containing a large number of beneficial microorganisms. When applied to the soil, it improves the soil environment, enhances soil fertility, promotes plant growth, reduces the use of chemical fertilizers, and protects the ecological environment. The production of bio-fertilizer requires a specific environment, hence the development of fermentation tanks.
[0003] In the microbial fermentation process, modern fermenters incorporate stirring functions to ensure uniform fermentation and more thorough fermentation. However, current fermenters rely on stirring rods to achieve uniform mixing inside the tank. Microorganisms produce corrosive substances during fermentation, making the stirring rods susceptible to corrosion and shortening their lifespan. This necessitates frequent replacements, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore, the stirring rods often fail to reach microorganisms at the bottom of the fermenter, resulting in poorer fermentation at that level. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a microbial fermentation tank to solve the problems in the prior art where the stirring rod is easily corroded, resulting in a shortened service life of the fermentation tank, and the microorganisms located at the bottom of the fermentation tank are difficult to stir.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A microbial fermenter includes a base, a fermenter body is disposed on the top of the base, a stirring assembly is disposed on one side below the fermenter body, and a heating assembly is disposed inside the fermenter body;
[0007] The stirring assembly includes a rotary motor, which is fixedly connected to one side of the upper surface of the base. A transmission rod is provided on one side of the rotary motor. A first gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotary motor and the middle of the transmission rod and they mesh with each other. A second gear is fixedly connected to both ends of the transmission rod. A rack is fixedly connected to both ends of the fermentation tank. Each rack meshes with the adjacent second gear.
[0008] Based on the above technical solutions, this utility model also provides the following optional technical solutions:
[0009] In one alternative: each end of the transmission rod is rotatably connected to a limiting plate, and the lower end of each limiting plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base.
[0010] In one alternative: a support plate is rotatably connected to both ends of the fermentation tank, and the lower end of the support plate is fixedly connected to one side of the upper surface of the adjacent base.
[0011] In one alternative: the heating assembly includes a heater, which is fixedly connected to one side of the upper surface of the base. A heat-conducting pipe is fixedly connected to the output end of the heater. The other end of the heat-conducting pipe passes through one end of the fermentation tank and is fixedly connected to several conveying pipes. The other end of all the conveying pipes is fixedly connected to an installation pipe, and several heating pipes are fixedly connected to the surface of the installation pipe.
[0012] In one alternative: a monitoring component is installed inside the fermentation tank.
[0013] In one alternative embodiment: the monitoring component includes a fixed rod, one end of which is fixedly connected to the delivery pipe, and a plurality of temperature sensors are fixedly connected to one side of the fixed rod.
[0014] In one alternative: a controller is fixedly connected to one side of the support plate, and the controller is electrically connected to the monitoring component, the heating component and the stirring component respectively.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] This invention employs a method of tumbling the entire fermentation tank to achieve uniform stirring of the materials inside. Combined with a heating element, the materials are dispersed during tumbling, ensuring effective overall stirring. This solves the problems of dead zones in the stirring rod and corrosion, effectively improving stirring efficiency while reducing the equipment's lifespan. It eliminates the need for frequent replacements of stirring rods and other components, thus enhancing the practicality of this invention. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0023] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, a microbial fermenter includes a base 1, a fermenter body 4 is disposed in the upper middle part of the base 1, a stirring component is disposed on one side below the fermenter body 4, and a heating component is disposed inside the fermenter body 4.
[0024] The stirring assembly includes a rotary motor 8, which is fixedly connected to one side of the upper surface of the base 1. A transmission rod 6 is provided on one side of the rotary motor 8. A first gear 9 is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotary motor 8 and the middle part of the transmission rod 6 and they mesh with each other. A second gear 7 is fixedly connected to both ends of the transmission rod 6. A rack 10 is fixedly connected to both ends of the fermentation tank 4. Each rack 10 meshes with the adjacent second gear 7.
[0025] In this embodiment, at the start of fermentation, the rotary motor 8 starts and drives the first gear 9 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission rod 6 to rotate. When the transmission rod 6 rotates and drives the second gear 7 to rotate, it will mesh with the rack 10 to drive the entire fermentation tank 4 to rotate, thus starting to tumble and stir the material inside the fermentation tank 4.
[0026] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, each end of the transmission rod 6 is rotatably connected to a limiting plate 5, and the lower end of each limiting plate 5 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1 for mounting the transmission rod 6.
[0027] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a support plate 2 is rotatably connected to both ends of the fermentation tank 4, and the lower end of the support plate 2 is fixedly connected to the base 1.
[0028] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4As shown, the heating assembly includes a heater 17, which is fixedly connected to one side of the upper surface of the base 1. A heat-conducting pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the output end of the heater 17. The other end of the heat-conducting pipe 11 is inserted through the inside of the fermentation tank 4 and is fixedly connected to several conveying pipes 13. The other end of the conveying pipe 13 is fixedly connected to an installation pipe 12. Several heating pipes 14 are fixedly connected to the surface of the installation pipe 12. When the temperature is detected to decrease, the heater 17 is activated, and heat is conducted through the heat-conducting pipe 11 to introduce heat into the heating pipes 14, thus heating the inside of the fermentation tank 4 and ensuring that it remains at the optimal fermentation temperature.
[0029] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, a monitoring component is installed inside the fermentation tank 4.
[0030] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the monitoring component includes a fixed rod 15, one end of which is fixedly connected to the conveying pipe 13, and several temperature sensors 16 are fixedly connected to one side of the fixed rod 15. While the material is being stirred, it is continuously fermenting, and at this time, the temperature sensors 16 continuously monitor the temperature inside the fermentation tank 4.
[0031] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a controller 3 is fixedly connected to the support plate 2 on one side, and the controller 3 is electrically connected to the monitoring component, the heating component and the stirring component respectively.
[0032] The above embodiment discloses a microbial fermenter. At the start of fermentation, the rotary motor 8 is activated, driving the first gear 9 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission rod 6 to rotate. When the transmission rod 6 rotates and drives the second gear 7 to rotate, it meshes with the rack 10, causing the entire fermenter body 4 to rotate. This initiates overall tumbling and stirring of the material inside the fermenter body 4. While stirring, the material continues to ferment. At this time, the temperature sensor 16 continuously monitors the temperature inside the base 1. When the temperature is detected to drop, the heater 17 is activated, and heat is conducted through the heat pipe 11 to transfer heat into the heating pipe 14, thus heating the inside of the fermenter body 4 and ensuring that it remains at the optimal fermentation temperature.
[0033] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
