Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fermenter technology, specifically to a fermenter for intelligent cultivation and monitoring of COD-degrading bacteria. Background Technology
[0002] COD-degrading bacteria are a combination of bacterial strains with the ability to degrade various organic substances. They can be applied to the treatment of various industrial wastewaters. COD-degrading bacteria need to be cultivated in a fermenter.
[0003] For example, the announcement number is CN218539656U (titled "An Ecological Fermentation Tank for Cultivating Edible Fungi"), which includes a fermentation tank. The fermentation tank has multiple sets of support legs at its bottom. A control console is located on the left side of the fermentation tank, and an edible fungi supply port is installed above the control console. A stirring device is installed inside the fermentation tank. A baffle plate is installed on the bottom wall of the fermentation tank. A discharge pipe is installed at the right end of the fermentation tank and is connected to the interior of the fermentation tank. The stirring device is fixedly connected to the fermentation tank by fasteners and includes a rotating shaft. A crushing agitator is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft via a connecting rod. The mixing paddle has a gear fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. The gear is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft by a limiting block. The rotating shaft and the crushing mixing paddle are distributed in multiple groups in the fermentation tank. During use, the mixing device generates heat during mixing, reducing the energy supply of the external heating device and reducing resource loss. After mixing, some catalyst is added through the catalyst supply port to improve the reaction efficiency of edible fungi, enabling the edible fungi to decompose quickly and form fertilizer that can be reused. This solves the problem that existing fermentation tanks do not have a mixing device, which leads to uneven heating of edible fungi in the fermentation tank, prolongs the heating time, and causes waste of resources.
[0004] The aforementioned fermenters only improve the uniformity of heating during fermentation by setting up a stirring structure. However, they cannot be sampled at any time during fermentation, which leads to inconvenience in monitoring the fermentation process. To address this, we provide a smart fermenter for the cultivation and monitoring of COD-degrading bacteria. Utility Model Content

A cross-shaped connecting seat is integrally formed at the lower end of the linkage rod, and an extraction cylinder is integrally formed at the lower end of the cross-shaped connecting seat.
