Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bio-fermentation technology, specifically to a microbial fermentation culture tank with a cooling mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Microorganisms are a large group of organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi, as well as some small protozoa and microalgae. They are tiny in size, closely related to humans, and encompass a wide range of species, both beneficial and harmful. They are widely involved in many fields such as food, medicine, industry, agriculture, and environmental protection. Industrial microorganisms are involved in various industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, metallurgy, mining, petroleum, leather, and light chemicals. They are used to produce antibiotics, butanol, vitamin C, and some flavored foods through microbial fermentation. In the process of preparing microorganisms, a fermentation culture device is often required.

[0003] To address the problem of inconvenient cleaning in early microbial fermentation culture devices, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN221917989U discloses a "Microbial Fermentation Culture Box," which includes a base plate, a box body, a cover plate, and a limiting mechanism. The box body is located on top of the base plate, and the cover plate is connected to the box body via the limiting mechanism. A feeding component is located on the top of the cover plate, and a discharging component is located at the bottom front of the box body. Heating components are located on both sides of the box body. The limiting mechanism includes a positioning block, a positioning groove, a sliding groove, a slider, a long plate, a spring, a telescopic rod, a locking block, and a locking groove. The positioning groove is located on the top of the box body. One end of the positioning block is connected to the cover plate, and the other end of the positioning block extends into the positioning groove. The sliding groove is located on the side of the box body. One end of the slider is slidably connected to the sliding groove, and the other end of the slider is connected to the long plate. One end of the spring is connected to the long plate. This microbial fermentation culture box has the beneficial effect of easy cleaning.

[0004] Microbial fermentation requires a suitable temperature, and the suitable temperature range is very narrow. During the fermentation process in the incubator, the temperature inside rises, and if it exceeds the suitable fermentation temperature, the fermentation effect will be affected. The aforementioned microbial fermentation incubator lacks a corresponding cooling mechanism, thus posing a risk of temperature-related fluctuations during the fermentation process, and therefore requires improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide a microbial fermentation culture tank with a cooling mechanism to reduce the impact of temperature changes on the fermentation process.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A microbial fermentation culture tank with a cooling mechanism includes a tank body, wherein cooling mechanisms are provided both inside and outside the tank body, and a moving mechanism is provided outside the tank body;

[0008] The cooling mechanism includes a bucket lid, a cooling box fixedly connected to the top of the bucket lid, a water pump installed at one end of the cooling box, a water outlet pipe connected to a flange at one end of the water pump, a first connector threaded to one end of the water outlet pipe, a tee pipe threaded to one end of the first connector, a spiral cooling pipe and a circular cooling pipe fixedly connected to each end of the tee pipe respectively, a drip head fixedly connected to the bottom of the circular cooling pipe, a second connector threaded to the other end of the spiral cooling pipe, and a cooler installed at one end of the cooling box.

[0009] Preferably, a base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the barrel, a motor is installed on the top of the barrel lid, and a stirring assembly is installed on the bottom of the motor.

[0010] The above technical solution uses a motor to drive the stirring shaft of the stirring assembly to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring rod to rotate, thereby stirring the microorganisms and improving the mixing effect.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the base is provided with a collection trough, and one end of the collection trough and the second connector is flanged to a drain pipe. A filter screen is installed on the inner side of the drain pipe, and a water pump is installed at one end of the drain pipe.

[0012] Preferably, the cooler is fixedly connected to the top of the bucket lid, and one end of the three-way pipe passes through the bucket lid and extends to the bottom of the bucket lid.

[0013] Preferably, multiple drip heads are provided, and the multiple drip heads are arranged in a ring array.

[0014] Preferably, the moving mechanism includes a support leg, and the bottom of the support leg is screwed to a moving wheel.

[0015] Preferably, multiple support legs are provided, and the multiple support legs are fixedly connected to the bottom of the base.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model's microbial fermentation culture tank with a cooling mechanism are as follows: By introducing cooling water into the interior of the cooling tank, a temperature sensor inside the tank detects the temperature during microbial fermentation. When the temperature reaches the set temperature, a water pump draws cooling water, which is then introduced through an outlet pipe to a three-way pipe. The three-way pipe then directs the cooling water into a spiral cooling pipe and a circular cooling pipe. The spiral cooling pipe allows the cooling water to enter the interior of the tank, where the circulating cooling water carries away the heat from the fermenting material, thus cooling it. Finally, the circular cooling pipe's bottom features annularly distributed drip heads that drip water, with one end of each drip head adhering to the outer wall of the tank, allowing the cooling water to slide off the top of the outer wall, thereby cooling the fermenting material. The outer wall of the barrel is cooled, and the cooling efficiency is improved by simultaneously cooling the inside and outside. Water from the spiral cooling pipe is discharged into the cooler through the drain pipe connected to the second connector. Cooling water dripping from the circular cooling pipe slides into the collection tank at the top of the base and then flows into the cooler through the drain pipe at the bottom. Impurities in the cooling water are filtered through a filter screen. The cooler then cools the water after it has absorbed heat and enters the cooling tank, allowing the cooling water to be reused. The first and second connectors facilitate the disassembly of the spiral cooling pipe for subsequent cleaning, thereby facilitating temperature control and reducing the impact of temperature changes on the fermentation process.

[0023] The specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 A microbial fermentation culture tank with a cooling mechanism includes a tank body 1, with cooling mechanisms 2 provided both inside and outside the tank body 1, and a moving mechanism 3 provided outside the tank body 1.

[0026] The cooling mechanism 2 includes a bucket lid 21, a cooling box 22 fixedly connected to the top of the bucket lid 21, a water pump 23 installed at one end of the cooling box 22, a water outlet pipe 24 connected to one end of the water pump 23 by a flange, a first connector 25 threadedly connected to one end of the water outlet pipe 24, a three-way pipe 26 threadedly connected to one end of the first connector 25, a spiral cooling pipe 27 and a circular cooling pipe 28 fixedly connected to both ends of the three-way pipe 26 respectively, a drip head 29 fixedly connected to the bottom of the circular cooling pipe 28, a second connector 201 threadedly connected to the other end of the spiral cooling pipe 27, and a cooler 202 installed at one end of the cooling box 22.

[0027] A base 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the barrel 1, a motor is installed on the top of the barrel lid 21, and a stirring component is installed at the bottom of the motor.

[0028] The top of the base 11 is provided with a collection tank. One end of the collection tank and the second connector 201 are both flanged and connected to a drain pipe. A filter screen is installed on the inside of the drain pipe, and a water pump is installed at one end of the drain pipe.

[0029] The cooler 202 is fixedly connected to the top of the lid 21, and one end of the three-way pipe 26 passes through the lid 21 and extends to the bottom of the lid 21.

[0030] Multiple drip heads 29 are provided, and the multiple drip heads 29 are arranged in a ring array.

[0031] Through the above technical solution, cooling water is introduced into the cooling tank 22. A temperature sensor inside the tank 1 detects the temperature during microbial fermentation. When the set temperature is reached, a water pump 23 draws cooling water, which is then introduced through an outlet pipe 24 to a three-way pipe 26. The three-way pipe 26 then directs the cooling water into a spiral cooling pipe 27 and a circular cooling pipe 28. The spiral cooling pipe 27 allows the cooling water to enter the tank 1, where the circulating cooling water carries away the heat from the fermenting material. The circular cooling pipe 28 then drips cooling water through annularly distributed drip heads 29 at its bottom. One end of each drip head 29 is attached to the outer wall of the tank 1, allowing the cooling water to slide down from the top of the outer wall, thus cooling the outer wall of the tank 1. This simultaneous internal and external cooling operation improves the cooling efficiency. The cooling efficiency is improved. Water from the spiral cooling pipe 27 is drained into the cooler 202 through the drain pipe connected to the second connector 201. Cooling water dripping from the circular cooling pipe 28 slides into the collection tank at the top of the base 11. Coolant is then pumped out through the drain pipe at the bottom by a water pump and discharged into the cooler 202. Impurities in the cooling water are filtered through a filter screen. The cooler 202 then cools the water after it has absorbed heat and enters the cooling tank 22, allowing the cooling water to be reused. The spiral cooling pipe 27 is easily disassembled through the first connector 25 and the second connector 201, facilitating subsequent cleaning of the spiral cooling pipe 27. This achieves the effect of convenient cooling and temperature control. The cooler 202 is existing technology, and its working principle is well known to those skilled in the art, so it will not be described in detail.

[0034] Multiple support legs 31 are provided, and multiple support legs 31 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the base 11.

[0035] The above technical solution allows staff to easily move the base 11 by using the support leg 31 and the moving wheel 32, thereby moving the culture tank and facilitating its transport, thus improving the portability of the device.
