Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of preparation device technology, and in particular to a novel fermenter for enzyme preparation. Background Technology

[0002] Enzymes, as substances with special biological activity composed of amino acids, have applications in food processing, medicine and health care, and bioengineering. In the process of enzyme preparation, the fermentation process is the key step that determines the quality and yield of enzymes. As the core equipment, the performance of the fermentation tank directly affects the efficiency and effect of the fermentation process. A high-quality fermentation tank needs to precisely control various parameters such as temperature, humidity, and oxygen content to provide a suitable environment for microbial growth and enzyme synthesis. At the same time, it is also necessary to ensure the stability and safety of the equipment operation to ensure the uniformity and reliability of enzyme product quality.

[0003] Existing fermentation tanks for enzyme preparation typically employ temperature sensors to monitor the internal temperature in real time, which in turn activate heaters to heat the enzymes inside, maintaining the optimal temperature for fermentation. While this closed-loop temperature control system can achieve precise temperature regulation to some extent, preventing excessively high or low temperatures from affecting the fermentation process, in actual operation, the tanks often use traditional single- or double-walled structures. Heat dissipation relies primarily on natural convection and radiation, resulting in a single and inefficient heat dissipation path. When the internal temperature needs to be lowered, heat cannot dissipate quickly, leading to a slow temperature drop. Conversely, during heating, due to inadequate heat dissipation, heat accumulates inside the tank, making it difficult to precisely control the rate of temperature increase. Furthermore, this inefficient heat dissipation method causes a significant amount of heat to be lost to the surrounding environment, prolonging the temperature control cycle, increasing fermentation time costs, and resulting in substantial energy waste, thus raising the production cost of enzyme preparation. Therefore, a novel fermentation tank for enzyme preparation is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a novel fermentation tank for enzyme preparation, aiming to improve the problem that the inefficient heat dissipation method in the existing technology causes a large amount of heat loss, which not only prolongs the temperature control cycle but also increases the fermentation time cost.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a novel fermentation tank for enzyme preparation, comprising a bottom plate, a fermentation barrel, and an insulation layer. A recovery mechanism is provided on the top left side of the bottom plate. A servo motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fermentation barrel.

[0030] 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.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a novel fermentation tank for enzyme preparation, comprising a bottom plate 1, a fermentation tank 2, and an insulation layer 3. A recovery mechanism 4 is provided on the top left side of the bottom plate 1. The insulation layer 3 is fitted over the outer wall of the fermentation tank 2 to prevent internal heat loss. A servo motor 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fermentation tank 2. The servo motor 5 is used to drive internal components to stir the fermented material inside the fermentation tank 2 to achieve uniform heating. An installation mechanism 6 is provided on the inner side of the fermentation tank 2. A sealing cover 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the fermentation tank 2 to seal the fermentation tank 2 and prevent external dust and bacteria from entering and affecting the fermentation quality. A heating mechanism 8 is provided on the left side of the fermentation tank 2. The heating mechanism 8 includes a heater 801, which is fixedly connected to the left side of the outer wall of the fermentation tank 2. A heating wire 802 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the insulation layer 3. The heating wire 802 is installed between the fermentation tank 2 and the insulation layer 3 to achieve sufficient heating.

[0032] The recovery mechanism 4 includes an insulated box 401, which is fixedly connected to the top left end of the base plate 1. The insulated box 401 is used to store the recovered heat. The front of the insulated box 401 is connected to a gas valve 402, which has a dual-channel design. It can inject heat into the insulated box 401, and after detecting the temperature of the gas, the low-temperature gas is discharged from the other end. The other end of the gas valve 402 is connected to a fan 403, and the other end of the fan 403 is connected to a connecting pipe. 404. The two ends of the fan 403 are connected to the air valve 402 and the connecting pipe 404 respectively. The inner side of the insulation layer 3 is connected to the air cavity 405. The connecting pipe 404 is connected to the air cavity 405 inside the insulation layer 3. At the same time, the air cavity 405 overlaps with the heating wire 802, which can quickly dissipate heat from the heating wire 802 and the insulation layer 3 through the air cavity 405. A filter assembly 408 is provided at the right end of the air cavity 405. The top left end of the insulation box 401 is connected to the pressure... A solution storage box 406 is fixedly connected to the top right side of the insulation box 401 via valve 407. The solution storage box 406 contains a liquid that can quickly absorb heat while having weak dissipation, thus maximizing heat preservation. The filter assembly 408 includes a filter cylinder 4081, which is connected to the right end of the air chamber 405. A filter plate 4082 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the filter cylinder 4081. After the fan 403 is started, external air can quickly enter the air chamber 405, carrying away the heat in the insulation layer 3 and achieving rapid heat dissipation from the insulation layer 3. At the same time, the heat enters the insulation box 401 for storage. Under continuous air circulation, the gas temperature in the pipeline is detected by the air valve 402. To prevent cold air from entering the insulation box 401, cold air can be discharged through another channel to achieve heat recovery. When needed, the heat is transferred to the insulation layer 3 in the opposite direction to start heating.

[0033] Specifically, the insulation box 401 is mainly used to store the recovered heat to prevent heat loss. The gas valve 402 adopts a unique dual-channel design. On the one hand, it can smoothly inject the recovered heat into the insulation box 401. On the other hand, it has the ability to detect the gas temperature. When the gas temperature is detected, for low-temperature gases, the gas valve 402 can discharge these low-temperature gases from its other end, thus ensuring that the heat entering the insulation box 401 meets the requirements. The other end of the gas valve 402 is connected to the fan 403. The two ends of the fan 403 are respectively connected to the gas valve 402 and the connecting pipe 404. The air cavity 405 is connected to the inside of the insulation layer 3, and the connecting pipe 404 is also connected to the air cavity 405 inside the insulation layer 3. At the same time, The air chamber 405 and the heating wire 802 are stacked together. This stacked design allows for rapid heat dissipation from the heating wire 802 and the insulation layer 3 through the air chamber 405. A filter assembly 408 is provided at the right end of the air chamber 405 to filter the gas entering the air chamber 405 and ensure the cleanliness of the gas. A pressure valve 407 is connected to the top left end of the insulation box 401. The pressure valve 407 can monitor and adjust the pressure inside the insulation box 401 in real time to ensure that the insulation box 401 operates within a safe pressure range. The solution storage box 406 contains a special liquid that has the characteristic of rapid heat absorption and also has the advantage of weak heat dissipation. In other words, it can retain heat to the maximum extent and reduce heat loss.

[0034] The filter assembly 408 includes a filter cartridge 4081. When the fan 403 is started, the airflow generated by the fan 403 allows outside air to quickly enter the air chamber 405. This air entering the air chamber 405 carries away the heat from the insulation layer 3, thereby achieving rapid heat dissipation from the insulation layer 3. At the same time, the heat carried away will enter the insulation box 401 for storage with the airflow. At this time, under continuous airflow, the air valve 402 will detect the temperature of the gas in the pipe. To prevent cold air from entering the insulation box 401, the air valve 402 can discharge the detected cold air through another channel, thus achieving effective heat recovery. When the recovered heat needs to be used, it can be transferred in the opposite direction to the insulation layer 3, thereby completing the heating operation.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5The installation mechanism 6 includes an insertion rod 601. The bottom end of the insertion rod 601 is rotatably connected to the bottom inner side of the fermentation tank 2. The insertion rod 601 is installed on the bottom inner side of the fermentation tank 2, and the connection and sealing between the insertion rod 601 and the servo motor 5 are ensured by the bottom sealing element. The output end of the servo motor 5 passes through the bottom of the fermentation tank 2 and is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the insertion rod 601. The servo motor 5 is used to drive the structural components on the upper part of the insertion rod 601. A cross plate 602 is slidably connected to the top end of the insertion rod 601. The top end of the insertion rod 601 has a cross groove identical to that of the cross plate 602 to facilitate the insertion of the cross plate 602. A rotating rod 603 is fixedly connected to the top of the cross plate 602, and a screw 604 is fixedly connected to the top end of the rotating rod 603. At the same time, the cross plate 602, the rotating rod 603, and the screw 604 are integrally formed, which improves the overall structural strength. The top end of the screw 604 passes through the sealing cover 7. The bottom of the rotating rod 603 is threadedly connected to a fastening button 606. A wear-resistant ring 605 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the fastening button 606. The fastening button 606 and the wear-resistant ring 605 are installed and connected to each other. When the rotating rod 603 is connected to the insertion rod 601, the screw 604 passes through the sealing cover 7 and is rotatably connected to the fastening button 606 to ensure the stability of the rotating rod 603. The wear-resistant ring 605 can protect the fastening button 606. The outer wall of the rotating rod 603 is provided with a stirring assembly 607. The stirring assembly 607 includes multiple fixing rods 6071, which are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the outer wall of the rotating rod 603. The farthest ends of the multiple fixing rods 6071 are fixedly connected to stirring rods 6072. During the rotation of the rotating rod 603, it can drive the stirring rods 6072 to evenly stir the fermented material inside. The overall installation method allows for quick disassembly of the stirring rods 6072, which is convenient for subsequent cleaning.

[0036] Specifically, the insertion rod 601 is installed on the inner bottom of the fermentation tank 2, and a bottom seal ensures the tightness and sealing of the connection between the insertion rod 601 and the servo motor 5. This is done to prevent leakage of substances inside the fermentation tank 2 and to ensure stable power transmission between the servo motor 5 and the insertion rod 601. The main function of the servo motor 5 is to provide driving power to the various structural components on the upper part of the insertion rod 601, enabling the insertion rod 601 to rotate according to a preset pattern. The top of the insertion rod 601 has a cross groove with the same shape as the cross plate 602, facilitating accurate and smooth insertion of the cross plate 602. The letter plate 602, rotating rod 603, and screw 604 are integrally molded structures. This integral design greatly improves the overall structural strength, preventing them from loosening or being damaged when subjected to large external forces and torques. After the rotating rod 603 is connected to the insert rod 601, the screw 604 passes through the sealing cover 7 and then rotates to connect with the fastening button 606. This method ensures the stability of the rotating rod 603 during operation, allowing it to rotate smoothly. The wear-resistant ring 605 effectively protects the fastening button 606 during rotation, reducing wear and extending its service life.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 The top front of the sealing cover 7 is connected to a maintenance port 9, and a sealing plate 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the maintenance port 9. A temperature sensor 11 is fixedly connected to the top left end of the sealing cover 7. A scale window 12 is fixedly connected to the front of the fermentation tank 2. A discharge port 13 is connected to the bottom right end of the fermentation tank 2. A valve seat 14 is installed on the outer wall of the discharge port 13.

[0038] Specifically, the maintenance port 9 is designed to facilitate the inspection and maintenance of related internal components. The sealing plate 10 ensures that the maintenance port 9 is sealed to prevent external impurities from entering the interior and ensure the normal operation of the equipment. The temperature sensor 11 can monitor the temperature inside the sealing cover 7 in real time, providing accurate temperature data for the entire fermentation process. The scale window 12 allows operators to clearly observe the height of the material inside the fermentation tank 2, facilitating the control of the fermentation process. The discharge port 13 is a channel for discharging the material after fermentation. The valve seat 14 can control the opening and closing of the discharge port 13 to achieve effective control of material discharge.

[0039] Working principle: First, the heater 801, together with the heating wire 802, generates heat inside the fermentation tank 2 to facilitate fermentation. To control the internal temperature and prevent heat loss, the fan 403 is activated to allow cold air from outside to enter the air chamber 405. The air chamber 405 and the heating wire 802 overlap, enabling rapid heat dissipation from the heating wire 802 and the insulation layer 3, carrying away the heat in the insulation layer 3. At the same time, the internal heat is stored in the insulation box 401 through the gas valve 402. After detecting the temperature of the gas, the low-temperature gas is discharged from the other end. The solution storage box 406 contains a liquid that can quickly absorb heat and has weak dissipation, which can maximize the preservation of heat and realize heat recovery. When needed, the heat is transferred in the opposite direction to the insulation layer 3 to start heating.

[0040] Furthermore, after the rotating rod 603 and the insert rod 601 are connected, the screw 604 will pass through the sealing cover 7 and then rotate to connect with the fastening button 606. The wear-resistant ring 605 can effectively protect the fastening button 606 during rotation, reducing wear. When the rotating rod 603 rotates, it can drive the stirring rod 6072 to evenly stir the fermented material inside the fermentation tank 2. This even stirring allows the fermented material to fully contact oxygen and various substances required for fermentation, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of fermentation. In addition, it allows the user to quickly disassemble the stirring rod 6072. After the fermentation work is completed, it is convenient to clean the stirring rod 6072, ensuring its cleanliness and hygiene for the next use and preventing residual fermented material from adversely affecting the new fermentation process.
