Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] NMN is a precursor to NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), a key coenzyme in the human body. NAD+ plays an important role in cellular energy metabolism, DNA repair, and antioxidation. As we age, the level of NAD+ in the human body gradually declines, and supplementing with NMN is believed to increase NAD+ levels, thereby delaying aging and improving health. For example, when producing NMN through microbial fermentation, a fermentation tank is required. Since the inside of the fermentation tank is usually equipped with a single agitator to mix the raw materials, the single agitator usually mainly flows radially, making it difficult to simultaneously mix the upper and lower layers of fluid. This can lead to a concentration gradient in the raw materials due to insufficient contact, affecting the uniform uptake of nutrients by microorganisms and ultimately resulting in low fermentation yield. In addition, some gases are generated during the fermentation of NMN raw materials. If these gases are not removed in time, they can cause excessive pressure inside the fermentation tank, which may even cause the fermentation tank to explode in severe cases. Therefore, we have proposed a fermentation tank for NMN production to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Example

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown in the figure, an embodiment of this utility model discloses a fermentation tank for NMN production, including a tank body 1. A hollow shaft 2 is rotatably connected to the inside of the tank body 1 via bearings. Two blades 3 are fixed to the surface of the hollow shaft 2. Three sets of auxiliary stirring components 4 are arranged on the surface of the hollow shaft 2. The auxiliary stirring components 4 include a hollow support rod 401 fixed to the surface of the hollow shaft 2. A triangular scraper 19 is fixed to one side wall of the hollow support rod 401. The triangular scraper 19 is tightly fitted to the inner wall of the tank body 1. The triangular scraper 19 can scrape the inner wall of the tank body 1, preventing some raw materials from adhering to the inner wall during discharge after fermentation. Both the upper and lower ends of the hollow support rod 401 are connected and fixed with annular shells 402. The interior of the annular shells 402 is connected to... A hollow shaft 403 is rotatably connected to the bearing. Impellers 404 and blades 405 are fixed to the surface of the hollow shaft 403. A hollow guide rod 406 is fixed inside the hollow support rod 401. Both ends of the hollow guide rod 406 extend through the hollow support rod 401 to its outside and are respectively connected and fixed to the corresponding annular shell 402. A hollow exhaust rod 407 is fixed to the bottom of the hollow support rod 401. The other end of the hollow exhaust rod 407 is fixed to the hollow shaft 2. An inlet pipe 5 is fixed to the top of the tank 1, and a drain pipe 6 is fixed to the bottom of the tank 1. A rubber sealing plug is installed at the top of the inlet pipe 5, and a valve is installed on the drain pipe 6. However, the rubber sealing plug and valve are not shown in the figure. The top of the tank 1... A drive shaft 7 is rotatably connected via a bearing. Both the hollow shaft 2 and the drive shaft 7 have drive gears 8 fixed to their surfaces. The two drive gears 8 mesh with each other, allowing the motor to rotate the hollow shaft 2 even when it is not fixed to either end. A support plate 9 is fixed to the top of the tank 1. An L-shaped tube 10 is fixed inside a through hole in the side wall of the support plate 9. A rotatable male connector 11 is fixed to the bottom of the L-shaped tube 10, and a rotatable female connector 12 is fixed to the top of the hollow shaft 2. After the compressed air delivery pipeline is connected and fixed to the L-shaped tube 10, the rotatable male connector 11 and rotatable female connector 12 ensure that the rotation of the hollow shaft 2 will not affect the normal delivery of compressed air. In the fermentation process using this NMN production tank, the raw materials for NMN production can be sent into the tank 1 through the liquid inlet pipe 5. The forward and reverse motor is started, driving the drive shaft 7 to rotate. With the cooperation of two drive gears 8, the rotation of the drive shaft 7 drives the hollow shaft 2 to rotate synchronously. When the hollow shaft 2 rotates, it drives the two blades 3 to rotate, thus stirring the raw materials inside the tank 1. After connecting and fixing the compressed air pipe to the L-shaped pipe 10, the compressed air enters the upper part of the hollow shaft 2, and then enters the interior of the hollow guide rod 406. When the compressed air is blown out through the two exhaust ends of the two hollow guide rods 406, it drives the impeller 404 inside the annular shell 402 to rotate.The rotation of impeller 404 drives the rotation of hollow shaft 403, which in turn drives blades 405 to assist in stirring the raw materials. Since the impeller 404 and hollow shaft 403 have strip-shaped exhaust ports arranged in a ring array, the air used to drive the impeller 404 from inside the annular shell 402 passes through the strip-shaped exhaust ports into the hollow support rod 401, then flows into the hollow exhaust rod 407. Finally, the used compressed air enters the lower half of hollow shaft 2 and is discharged. During the stirring process, when the reversible motor drives hollow shaft 2 to rotate, the hollow support rod 401, which is fixed to its surface, rotates back and forth, causing it to rotate back and forth as well. This further disrupts the mixing of the raw materials inside tank 1, improving mixing efficiency.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, an exhaust pipe 13 is fixedly connected to the exhaust port of the tank 1. A guide seat 14 is fixed to the surface of the exhaust pipe 13. A sealing plug 15 adapted to the exhaust pipe 13 is slidably connected to the guide seat 14. The bottom end of the sealing plug 15 is inserted into the interior of the exhaust pipe 13. A spring 16 is fixed to the top of the sealing plug 15. The top end of the spring 16 is fixedly connected to the top inner wall of the guide seat 14. In use, when there is a lot of gas inside the tank 1, resulting in a large internal pressure, the gas will enter the interior of the exhaust pipe 13 and push up the sealing plug 15 inside. After the sealing plug 15 moves up, it will squeeze the spring 16. When the bottom end of the sealing plug 15 separates from the bottom end of the exhaust pipe 13, the gas inside the tank 1 can be discharged through the top end of the exhaust pipe 13. After the gas is discharged, the internal pressure is not enough to push up the spring 16. At this time, under the reset action of the compressed spring 16, the sealing plug 15 can seal the top end of the exhaust pipe 13 again.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a protective shell 17 is fixed to the outer wall of the tank 1. Four heating plates 18 fixed to the outer wall of the tank 1 are arranged inside the protective shell 17. The heating plates 18 can heat the raw materials inside the tank 1 in order to accelerate the fermentation speed of the NMN raw materials inside the tank 1 as needed. The protective shell 17 serves to protect the heating plates 18.

[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
