Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unconventional raw material fermentation technology, and in particular to an unconventional raw material fermentation device. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of bioenergy production, organic fertilizer preparation, and environmental treatment, the application of unconventional raw material fermentation technology is becoming increasingly widespread. In the field of bioenergy, fermentation converts organic waste into clean energy sources such as biogas and bioethanol, effectively replacing some fossil fuels. In organic fertilizer preparation, fermented raw materials can be transformed into high-quality organic fertilizers rich in humus and beneficial microorganisms, improving soil structure and promoting crop growth. In the field of environmental treatment, fermentation technology can be used to treat organic waste, reducing the environmental pressure caused by landfill and incineration. However, these raw materials are complex in composition, containing various substances such as cellulose, hemicellulose, protein, and fat, with significant differences in physical properties. Some have high fiber content and high viscosity, while others have large fluctuations in moisture content. This poses unprecedented challenges to the adaptability, efficiency, and precise control capabilities of fermentation equipment. Traditional fermentation devices can no longer meet the ever-evolving technological demands of the industry when processing these unconventional raw materials, making technological innovation imperative.
[0003] The existing technology has the following shortcomings:
[0004] 1) Low mixing efficiency and poor uniformity: Most traditional fermentation devices use a single stirring blade structure. This structure can meet basic needs when processing conventional raw materials, but its drawbacks are obvious when dealing with unconventional raw materials with high fiber content and high viscosity. Taking agricultural straw fermentation as an example, straw has high fiber strength and toughness. A single stirring blade cannot effectively cut and disperse it. It can only simply turn over the surface of the raw material and cannot penetrate into the interior of the raw material pile.
[0005] 2) Lack of precision in environmental control: Existing fermentation equipment has many defects in environmental control. In terms of gas inlet system, most adopt fixed gas inlet structure, with fixed gas inlet position and gas flow rate, which cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the fermentation stage and characteristics of different raw materials. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of low mixing efficiency and poor uniformity, as well as lack of precise environmental control in the existing technology, and to propose an unconventional raw material fermentation device.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an unconventional raw material fermentation device, comprising: a mounting base, a mounting bracket fixedly connected to the top of the mounting base, a support frame fixedly connected to the outer surface of the mounting bracket, and a stirring mechanism fixedly connected to the top of the support frame; the stirring mechanism includes a first motor, a first gear fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor, a second gear meshing with the outer wall of the first gear, a rotating sleeve fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second gear, an auger fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating sleeve, and a first gas delivery hole opened on the outer wall of the rotating sleeve.
[0008] Preferably, the rotating sleeve has a first mounting sleeve inside, and one end of the first mounting sleeve is connected to a gas control device.
[0009] Preferably, the gas control device includes a second mounting sleeve, and an electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the second mounting sleeve.
[0010] Preferably, the output end of the electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to a guide plate, and the outer wall of the guide plate is fitted with a conveying pipe.
[0011] Preferably, the outer wall of the conveying pipe is fixedly connected to a shaped conveying channel, a filter plate is fixedly installed between the conveying pipe and the shaped conveying channel, and a third mounting sleeve is fixedly connected to one end of the shaped conveying channel.
[0012] Preferably, one end of the third mounting sleeve is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe, and one end of the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to an intake fan.
[0013] Preferably, a second motor is fixedly connected to the input end of the intake fan, and a guide seat is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the second motor.
[0014] Preferably, a set of heating components is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the first mounting sleeve, and a set of second air supply holes are opened on the outer wall of the first mounting sleeve.
[0015] Preferably, the top of the mounting bracket is fixedly connected to a housing, and the outer wall of the housing is fixedly provided with a flange feed device connector seat.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] 1. In this utility model, the design significantly optimizes the fermentation process of unconventional raw materials. The first motor and gear transmission drive the rotating sleeve and auger to perform all-round and deep stirring of the raw materials, effectively avoiding raw material accumulation and uneven mixing, greatly improving mixing efficiency and uniformity, and meeting the complex fermentation needs of unconventional raw materials. The first air outlet of the rotating sleeve works in conjunction with the gas control device, and the electric telescopic rod drives the guide plate. With the help of the irregular conveying channel and filter plate, the gas flow rate, flow direction, flow rate and pressure can be precisely adjusted. Impurities are filtered to ensure a pure fermentation environment. Compared with the existing fixed air intake structure, it is more flexible and adaptable to different raw materials. The heating component on the outer wall of the first mounting sleeve precisely controls the temperature through the second air outlet, which can quickly and accurately meet the temperature-sensitive requirements of unconventional raw materials, improve the fermentation success rate and product quality.
[0018] 2. In this utility model, the device adopts a modular assembly design, and each component, such as the stirring mechanism, gas control device, and heating element, can be independently disassembled and installed. Compared with existing integrated fermentation equipment, this design significantly reduces the difficulty of equipment maintenance and repair. When a component malfunctions, there is no need for complex disassembly of the entire device; the faulty component can be quickly located and replaced, significantly shortening downtime and improving equipment utilization. Simultaneously, the funnel-shaped structure at the bottom of the outer shell, in conjunction with the electric gate valve and screw conveyor, achieves automated and controllable material discharge compared to traditional manual or simple gravity discharge methods. This avoids potential safety hazards associated with manual operation and allows for precise control of discharge speed and flow rate, facilitating efficient integration with subsequent processing equipment and enhancing the automation level and safety of the entire production process.

[0025] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0026] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0027] Example 1: As Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides an unconventional raw material fermentation device, including: a mounting base 1, a mounting bracket 2 fixedly connected to the top of the mounting base 1, a support frame 21 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the mounting bracket 2, and a stirring mechanism 3 fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 21; the stirring mechanism 3 includes a first motor 301, a first gear 302 fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 301, a second gear 303 meshing with the outer wall of the first gear 302, a rotating sleeve 304 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second gear 303, an auger 305 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating sleeve 304, and a first air supply hole 306 opened on the outer wall of the rotating sleeve 304.
[0028] The overall effect of Embodiment 1 is that by setting up the mounting base 1, mounting bracket 2 and support frame 21 to form a stable support structure, a reliable installation foundation is provided for the entire fermentation device, ensuring the stability of the device during operation. In the stirring mechanism 3, the first motor 301 drives the rotating sleeve 304 to rotate through the meshing transmission of the first gear 302 and the second gear 303, thereby causing the auger 305 to stir the fermentation raw materials. The unique spiral structure of the auger 305 can achieve efficient turning and mixing of the raw materials, avoid the accumulation of raw materials, ensure that the fermentation raw materials are heated and gas exchanged evenly in the device, and effectively improve the fermentation efficiency and quality. At the same time, the first gas outlet 306 on the outer wall of the rotating sleeve 304 can assist in the introduction of gas, promote full contact between the raw materials and the gas, and further optimize the fermentation process.
[0029] Example 2: As Figures 1-4 As shown, a first mounting sleeve 4 is provided inside the rotating sleeve 304. One end of the first mounting sleeve 4 is connected to a gas control device 6. The gas control device 6 includes a second mounting sleeve 601. An electric telescopic rod 602 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the second mounting sleeve 601. A guide plate 611 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 602. A conveying pipe 603 is sleeved on the outer wall of the guide plate 611. A shaped conveying channel 604 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the conveying pipe 603. A filter plate 605 is fixedly installed between the conveying pipe 603 and the shaped conveying channel 604. A third mounting sleeve 606 is fixedly connected to one end of the shaped conveying channel 604. A connecting pipe 607 is fixedly connected to one end of the third mounting sleeve 606. An intake fan 608 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting pipe 607. A second motor 609 is fixedly connected to the input end of the intake fan 608. A guide seat 610 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the second motor 609.
[0030] The overall effect of Embodiment 2 is as follows: the rotating sleeve 304 is equipped with a first mounting sleeve 4 and connected to a gas control device 6, which realizes precise control of the gas in the fermentation environment. Inside the gas control device 6, the electric telescopic rod 602 can drive the guide plate 611 to move up and down, adjusting the flow rate and direction of the gas in the conveying pipe 603. In conjunction with the irregular conveying channel 604, the gas is diverted and guided. The filter plate 605 can effectively filter impurities in the gas, preventing impurities from entering the fermentation device and affecting the fermentation effect, and ensuring the purity of the fermentation raw materials. The second motor 609 drives the intake fan 608 to generate a stable airflow. After passing through the connecting pipe 607, the third mounting sleeve 606, the irregular conveying channel 604 and the conveying pipe 603, the airflow is evenly conveyed to the fermentation raw materials through the air holes on the first mounting sleeve 4 and the rotating sleeve 304, providing the necessary oxygen or other gases for the fermentation process. At the same time, the gas pressure in the device can be adjusted to maintain a suitable fermentation environment.
[0031] Example 3: A set of heating components 41 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the first mounting sleeve 4, and a set of second air outlets 42 are opened on the outer wall of the first mounting sleeve 4. The top of the mounting bracket 2 is fixedly connected to the outer shell 5, and the outer wall of the outer shell 5 is fixedly installed with a flange feeding device connecting seat 51.
[0032] The overall effect of embodiment 3 is that the heating component 41 on the outer wall of the first mounting sleeve 4 can precisely adjust the temperature according to the fermentation requirements, and the heat is evenly transferred to the fermentation raw materials through the second air outlet 42 to ensure that the fermentation process is carried out under suitable temperature conditions, meeting the fermentation temperature requirements of different unconventional raw materials. The outer shell 5 provides a closed space for the fermentation process, reducing the interference of the external environment on the fermentation, while protecting the internal components. The flange feeding device connecting seat 51 facilitates the connection of the feeding pipe, which can realize the rapid and sealed feeding of raw materials, prevent gas leakage or impurities from entering during the feeding process, and ensure the stability and safety of the fermentation environment.
[0033] Working principle: When fermenting unconventional raw materials, the raw materials are first conveyed into the outer shell 5 through the flange feeding device connecting seat 51. The first motor 301 is started, which drives the first gear 302 to rotate. Through gear meshing, the second gear 303 drives the rotating sleeve 304 to rotate. The auger 305 then stirs and mixes the raw materials. At the same time, the second motor 609 is started, and the air intake fan 608 generates airflow. The airflow passes sequentially through the connecting pipe 607, the third mounting sleeve 606, the irregular conveying channel 604, and the conveying pipe 603. During this process, the filter plate 605 filters the air. Impurities are eliminated. The electric telescopic rod 602 controls the gas flow rate and direction by adjusting the guide plate 611. After the airflow enters the first mounting sleeve 4, it is evenly diffused into the raw material through the second air outlet 42 and the first air outlet 306 on the rotating sleeve 304. If the fermentation process requires a certain temperature, the heating component 41 is activated and transfers heat to the surrounding area of the raw material through the second air outlet 42 to maintain the temperature required for fermentation. Throughout the fermentation process, the auger 305 continuously stirs the material to ensure that the raw material is in full contact with the gas and heat, ensuring that the fermentation is uniform and efficient, and finally completing the fermentation treatment of unconventional raw materials.
[0034] The wiring diagrams of the first motor 301, heating element 41, electric telescopic rod 602, and second motor 609 in this utility model are common knowledge in the field. Their working principles are known technologies. The appropriate model is selected according to actual use. Therefore, the control methods and wiring arrangements of the first motor 301, heating element 41, electric telescopic rod 602, and second motor 609 will not be explained in detail.
[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
