Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fermentation tank technology, specifically to a microbial fermentation tank. Background Technology

[0002] In the microbial fermentation process, the fermenter, as the core equipment, directly affects fermentation efficiency and product quality due to its structural design and operational performance. However, the traditional fermenters widely used in the market currently present numerous inconveniences in terms of cleaning and maintenance, becoming one of the key factors restricting the improvement of production efficiency and the assurance of product quality.

[0003] The internal structure of existing fermenters is often quite complex, including multiple fixed connecting parts and sealing structures. While these designs ensure the stability and sealing of the fermentation process to a certain extent, they also pose a great challenge to cleaning. For example, the internal components such as the stirring device, connecting rod, top plate, and bottom plate are difficult to clean thoroughly by conventional means due to their compact structure and tight connections. This leads to the gradual accumulation of residues during long-term use, which not only affects the hygiene of the fermentation environment but may also cause microbial contamination and reduce product quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a microbial fermenter to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a microbial fermenter, comprising a shell, a top cover on the top of the shell, a variable frequency motor at the center of the top of the top cover, a main shaft fixedly connected to the output end of the bottom of the variable frequency motor, a connecting rod at the bottom of the main shaft, the bottom of the connecting rod penetrating into the interior of the top cover and fixedly connected to an inner circular plate, several arc-shaped blocks fixedly connected to the center of the top of the shell, several arc-shaped grooves formed at the center of the bottom of the top cover, an inner top plate and an outer top plate fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall and the top of the outer wall of the shell, respectively, an inner bottom plate and an outer bottom plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall and the bottom of the outer wall of the top cover, an annular groove formed at the center of the top of the inner top plate, an annular retaining plate fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the inner bottom plate, movable buckles rotatably connected to both sides of the outer end of the outer bottom plate, and auxiliary blocks fixedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the outer top plate.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0007] This microbial fermenter features detachable connecting rods, inner circular plates, and stirring rotating rods, allowing for easy disassembly of key stirring and transmission components for cleaning. This avoids cleaning difficulties caused by the compact structure. The connecting rods are secured to the main shaft using a dual method of snap-fit ​​and fixing bolts, ensuring operational stability while facilitating disassembly and cleaning. The design of sealing structures such as arc-shaped blocks and arc-shaped grooves, and annular plates and annular grooves, not only ensures the sealing of the fermentation process but also effectively reduces cleaning dead zones through the addition of arc-shaped and annular sealing gaskets. The variable frequency motor is fixed by snap-fitting L-shaped side columns to a circular seat, simplifying the installation process and allowing for quick disassembly when cleaning or maintenance is needed. The design of the limiting rod further enhances the connection stability between the L-shaped side columns and the circular seat, while also facilitating positioning and fixation during disassembly. The combination of movable buckles and limiting bolts makes the connection between the outer bottom plate and the outer top plate more flexible, allowing for easy opening or closing during cleaning and making it easier to remove residues.
