Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a defoaming device, specifically an automatic defoaming device for fermentation tanks, belonging to the field of defoaming technology for fermentation tanks. Background Technology

[0002] Fermentation is an important method for product processing. Microbial fermentation equipment is widely used in industries such as beverages, chemicals, food, dairy products, condiments, brewing, and pharmaceuticals, and mainly serves to cultivate microorganisms.

[0003] Fermentation is an important means of product production and processing. During the fermentation process, foam is constantly generated and accumulated. When too much foam accumulates or is not removed in time, it will affect the normal progress of fermentation and may even cause "liquid leakage". Therefore, defoaming treatment is required for the fermentation process. Currently, defoaming agents are generally used to achieve the defoaming effect, but this method is inefficient and has limited effect on eliminating bubbles.

[0004] Therefore, an automatic defoaming device for fermentation tanks is proposed here. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention proposes an automatic defoaming device for fermentation tanks, which can improve the defoaming effect on the fermentation liquid inside the tank.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: an automatic defoaming device for fermentation tanks, including a tank body, a discharge port installed on the bottom surface of the tank body, and a defoaming component and an auxiliary component provided on the tank body.

[0007] The defoaming assembly includes a dual-axis motor fixed to the tank body and a first rotating rod rotatably connected to the inner wall of a hole on the upper side of the tank body. A driven bevel gear is fixed to the top of the first rotating rod. A driving bevel gear is fixed to the output shaft end of the dual-axis motor on the left side, and the driving bevel gear meshes with the driven bevel gear. Multiple fixing blocks are fixed to the outer surface of the first rotating rod inside the tank body. A fixing frame is fixed to the side of the fixing block away from the first rotating rod. Multiple grid rods are fixed inside the fixing frame. Multiple first spikes are fixed to the outer surface of the grid rods.

[0008] Furthermore, a second rotating rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the discharge port, and one end of the second rotating rod extends through to the outside of the discharge port. A drive sprocket is fixed to the output shaft end of the dual-shaft motor on the right side. A driven sprocket is fixed to the end of the second rotating rod away from the discharge port, and the driven sprocket is connected to the drive sprocket. Multiple puncture plates are fixed to the outer surface of the second rotating rod inside the discharge port, and multiple second spikes are fixed to the outer side of the puncture plates.

[0009] Furthermore, a support plate is fixed to the upper surface of the tank, and the bottom surface of the dual-axis motor is fixed to the upper surface of the tank.

[0010] Furthermore, a support block is fixed to the bottom surface of the tank, and the outer surface of the second rotating rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the hole on the support block.

[0011] Furthermore, the auxiliary components include a suction pump and a defoaming box installed on the upper surface of the tank. The input end of the suction pump is connected to the tank through an inlet pipe, and the output end of the suction pump is connected to the defoaming box through an outlet pipe. A defoaming plate is installed inside the defoaming box, and a delivery pipe is installed on the bottom surface of the defoaming box, with the bottom end of the delivery pipe penetrating into the tank.

[0012] Furthermore, a feed inlet is installed on the upper surface of the tank, and a sealing cap is installed on the discharge outlet.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the tank is fixed with multiple support legs, and the bottom end of each support leg is fixed with an anti-slip pad.

[0014] This utility model provides an automatic defoaming device for fermentation tanks, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] The fermenter uses an automatic defoaming device. By starting a dual-shaft motor, it simultaneously drives the active bevel gear and the active sprocket to rotate. The active bevel gear, through meshing with the driven bevel gear, drives the first rotating rod to rotate. The first rotating rod drives the fixed frame to rotate. When bubbles pass through the fixed frame, they can be punctured by the first spikes on the grid rod, improving the defoaming effect on the fermentation liquid inside the tank. At the same time, the active sprocket, through its transmission connection with the driven sprocket, drives the second rotating rod to rotate. The second rotating rod drives the bubble-piercing plate to rotate, so that when the fermentation liquid is discharged, the bubbles can be punctured by the second spikes on the bubble-piercing plate, further enhancing the defoaming effect.

[0016] The fermenter uses an automatic defoaming device. By starting a suction pump, the accumulated foam on the surface of the fermentation liquid is extracted and sent to the inside of the defoaming box. The defoaming plate inside the defoaming box can break the bubbles. Finally, the defoamed fermentation liquid is transported back to the inside of the tank through a delivery pipe.

A driven bevel gear 204 is fixed at the top of the first rotating rod 202. A driving bevel gear 203 is fixed at the output shaft end of the dual-axis motor 201 on the left side, and the driving bevel gear 203 meshes with the driven bevel gear 204. A plurality of fixing blocks 205 are fixed on the outer surface of the first rotating rod 202 inside the tank body 1.

[0031] The inner wall of the discharge port 102 is rotatably connected to a second rotating rod 211, and one end of the second rotating rod 211 extends through to the outside of the discharge port 102. The output shaft end of the dual-axis motor 201 on the right side is fixed with a drive sprocket 209. The end of the second rotating rod 211 away from the discharge port 102 is fixed with a driven sprocket 210, and the driven sprocket 210 is connected to the drive sprocket 209 in a transmission connection. Multiple puncture plates 212 are fixed on the outer surface of the second rotating rod 211 inside the discharge port 102, and multiple second spikes 213 are fixed on the outer side of the puncture plates 212.

[0032] A support plate 4 is fixed to the upper surface of the tank body 1, and the bottom surface of the dual-axis motor 201 is fixed to the upper surface of the tank body 1.

[0033] The bottom surface of the tank 1 is fixed with a support block 5, and the outer surface of the second rotating rod 211 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the hole on the support block 5.

[0034] By starting the dual-shaft motor 201, the active bevel gear 203 and the active sprocket 209 are driven to rotate simultaneously. The active bevel gear 203, through meshing with the driven bevel gear 204, can drive the first rotating rod 202 to rotate. The first rotating rod 202 can drive the fixed frame 206 to rotate. When bubbles pass through the fixed frame 206, they can be punctured by the first spike 208 on the grid rod 207, improving the defoaming effect on the fermentation liquid in the tank 1.

The defoaming plate 303 in the defoaming box 302 can break the bubbles. Finally, the defoamed fermentation liquid is transported back to the tank 1 through the delivery pipe 304.

[0037] In use, this invention works as follows: Starting the dual-shaft motor 201 simultaneously drives the active bevel gear 203 and the active sprocket 209 to rotate. The active bevel gear 203, through meshing with the driven bevel gear 204, drives the first rotating rod 202 to rotate. The first rotating rod 202 then drives the fixed frame 206 to rotate. When bubbles pass through the fixed frame 206, they can be punctured by the first spike 208 on the mesh rod 207, improving the defoaming effect on the fermentation liquid inside the tank 1. Simultaneously, the active sprocket 209 is connected to the driven sprocket 210 via a transmission connection. The connection can drive the second rotating rod 211 to rotate, and the second rotating rod 211 can drive the bubble-piercing plate 212 to rotate, so that when the fermentation liquid is discharged, the second spike 213 on the bubble-piercing plate 212 can pierce the bubbles, thereby enhancing its defoaming effect.
