Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of high-density fermentation technology, and in particular relates to a control device for high-density fermentation. Background Technology

[0002] Fermentation equipment is a specialized device used to realize the biological reaction process of microorganisms, cells or enzymes. Its core function is to provide suitable environmental conditions for the biological reaction and ultimately produce the target product efficiently.

[0003] Most high-density fermentation control devices have several drawbacks. For example, workers need to manually add additives to maintain microbial activity during fermentation; however, manual addition makes it difficult to control the amount of additives, leading to excessive addition and affecting fermentation efficiency. Furthermore, it's inconvenient to sample and monitor the fermentation process, preventing workers from promptly tracking progress and impacting the overall effect. Therefore, we propose a high-density fermentation control device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a control device for high-density fermentation to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a control device for high-density fermentation, including a fermentation tank, and further comprising:

[0006] The motor is fixedly installed on the top of the fermentation tank. The output shaft of the motor passes through the fermentation tank and is fixedly installed on a rotating column. Several stirring blades are fixedly installed on the rotating column. A sampling tube is inserted into the fermentation tank. Several collection grooves are opened in the sampling tube. Sliding plates are slidably installed in each of the collection grooves.

[0007] Two storage tanks are fixedly installed on top of the fermentation tank. A disc is fixedly installed inside each of the two storage tanks, and several fixing columns are inserted into each of the two discs.

[0008] A power assembly, located inside the sampling tube, is used to drive several sliding plates to slide.

[0009] Two sets of drive components are located in two storage tanks respectively, and are used to drive several fixed columns to slide.

[0010] In this technical solution, when fermentation of materials is required, the materials are first poured into the fermentation tank. Through the set drive component, several fixed columns can be moved upward. After the fixed columns are all disengaged from the disc, the additives in the storage tank will enter the disc. Then the additives enter the fermentation tank through the disc. When the amount of additives is sufficient, through the set drive component, several fixed columns can be moved downward. Finally, the fixed columns are all inserted into the disc, ensuring that the additives will not continue to enter the fermentation tank. Then the motor is started. The motor is powered on and drives the rotating column to rotate. The rotating column drives several stirring blades to rotate. The stirring blades can evenly mix the materials and additives, ensuring that the materials can ferment normally.

[0011] When it is necessary to sample the material, the sampling tube is first inserted into the fermentation tank. Through the set power component, several sliding plates can be driven to slide downwards. Then, the fermented material enters several collection tanks. Then, through the above reverse operation, several sliding plates can be driven to slide upwards. Then the sampling tube is taken out, and the material at different levels in the fermentation tank can be sampled and viewed, which makes it convenient for staff to control the fermentation process.

[0012] In the above technical solution, the power component further includes:

[0013] A plurality of gears are rotatably installed in a plurality of collection troughs. A rack is meshed on one side of each of the gears. The racks are fixedly connected to a plurality of sliding plates. A worm gear is fixedly installed at one end of each of the gears. A worm is meshed on one side of each of the worm gears. The worms are coaxially connected. The upper end of the uppermost worm passes through a sampling tube and is fixedly installed with a handle.

[0014] In this technical solution, when fermentation of materials is required, the materials are first poured into the fermentation tank. Then, the operator pulls the sliding column upward, which causes several fixed columns to move upward. At the same time, the tension spring is stretched. After all the fixed columns have detached from the disc, the additives in the storage tank will enter the disc. Subsequently, the additives enter the fermentation tank through the disc, making it convenient for the operator to control the amount of additives. When the amount of additives is sufficient, the sliding column is released. Under the tension of the tension spring, the sliding column slides downward, causing several fixed columns to move downward. Finally, all the fixed columns are inserted into the disc, ensuring that the additives will not continue to enter the fermentation tank.

[0015] In the above technical solution, the driving component further includes:

[0016] A sliding column is slidably installed inside the storage tank. Several fixed columns are located at the bottom of the sliding column and are fixedly connected to the sliding column. The upper end of the sliding column passes through the storage tank and extends to the outside. A tension spring is sleeved on the sliding column, and the two ends of the tension spring are fixedly connected to the storage tank and the sliding column, respectively.

[0017] In this technical solution, when it is necessary to sample the material, the sampling tube is first inserted into the fermentation tank. Then, the handle is turned, and the sliding column drives several worm gears to rotate. The worm gears drive several meshing worm wheels to rotate, and the worm wheels drive several gears to rotate. The gears drive several meshing racks to slide downwards, and the racks drive several sliding plates to slide downwards. Then, the fermented material enters several collection tanks. By reversing the above operation, several sliding plates can be driven to slide upwards. Then, the sampling tube is taken out, and samples of the material at different levels in the fermentation tank can be taken for inspection, which facilitates the staff to control the fermentation process.

[0018] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, both storage tanks are engraved with scale lines.

[0019] In this technical solution, when pouring the additive, the staff can observe the scale line to check the amount of additive poured in, which makes it convenient for the staff to control the amount of additive.

[0020] In the above technical solution, a discharge pipe is fixedly installed on the fermentation tank, a valve is fixedly installed on the discharge pipe, a first sealing plug is inserted into the top of the fermentation tank, and a second sealing plug is inserted into the top of both storage tanks.

[0021] In this technical solution, after the material fermentation is completed, the staff opens the valve, and then the fermented material is discharged through the discharge pipe. The first sealing plug ensures that outside air will not enter the fermentation tank, and the second sealing plug ensures that outside air will not enter the storage tank.

[0022] In the above technical solution, sealing rubber gaskets are further fixedly installed at the bottom ends of the two sliding columns and the tops of the two discs.

[0023] In this technical solution, the two sealing rubber gaskets are in close contact to ensure that the additives will not continue to enter the fermenter.

[0024] In the above technical solution, furthermore, several gears, several worm gears and several worms are rotatably connected to several collection troughs, several racks are slidably connected to several collection troughs, and the output shaft and rotating column of the motor are rotatably connected to the fermenter.

[0025] In this technical solution, it is ensured that several gears, several worm gears, and several worms can rotate in several collection tanks respectively, that several racks can slide in several collection tanks respectively, and that the output shaft of the motor and the rotating column can rotate in the fermenter.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0027] 1. The control device for this high-density fermentation, through a set drive component, can drive several fixed columns to move upward. After the fixed columns are all disengaged from the disc, the additive in the storage tank will enter the disc, and then the additive will enter the fermentation tank through the disc. When the amount of additive is sufficient, the set drive component can drive several fixed columns to move downward, and finally the fixed columns will all be inserted into the disc, ensuring that the additive will not continue to enter the fermentation tank. The operator can control the amount of additive added.

[0028] 2. When it is necessary to sample the material, the control device for this high-density fermentation first inserts the sampling tube into the fermentation tank. Through the set power component, several sliding plates can be driven to slide downwards. Then, the fermented material enters several collection tanks respectively. Then, through the above reverse operation, several sliding plates can be driven to slide upwards. Then the sampling tube is taken out, and the material at different levels in the fermentation tank can be sampled and viewed, which is convenient for the staff to control the fermentation process.

[0046] Two sets of drive components are located in two storage tanks 8 respectively, and are used to drive several fixed columns 10 to slide.

[0047] When fermentation of materials is required, the materials are first poured into fermentation tank 1. Through the set drive component, several fixed columns 10 can be moved upward. After several fixed columns 10 are detached from the disc 9, the additives in storage tank 8 will enter the disc 9. Then the additives enter fermentation tank 1 through the disc 9. When the amount of additives is sufficient, through the set drive component, several fixed columns 10 can be moved downward.

[0051] When fermentation of materials is required, the materials are first poured into fermentation tank 1. Then, the operator pulls the sliding column 15 upward, which causes several fixed columns 10 to move upward. At the same time, the tension spring 16 is stretched. After the fixed columns 10 have all detached from the disc 9, the additives in the storage tank 8 will enter the disc 9. Subsequently, the additives enter the fermentation tank 1 through the disc 9, making it convenient for the operator to control the amount of additives. When the amount of additives is sufficient, the sliding column 15 is released.

Then the fermented material enters several collection tanks 6. By reversing the above operation, several sliding plates 7 can be driven to slide upwards. Then the sampling tube 5 is taken out, and samples of the material at different levels in the fermentation tank 1 can be taken for inspection, which is convenient for staff to control the fermentation process.
