[0002] With consumers' increasing demands for the safety and efficacy of cosmetics, the use of microbial fermentation technology to produce high-quality cosmetic raw materials (such as fermented oils containing squalane and fatty acids) has become an industry trend. In the production process of cosmetic fermented oil raw materials, the aseptic fermentation tank is the core equipment, and its internal cleaning and sterilization effects directly affect the purity, stability, and safety of the fermentation products. Any residual microorganisms, metabolites, or impurities can lead to contamination during subsequent fermentation, resulting in a decline in raw material quality and even the production of harmful byproducts, seriously threatening the quality and safety of cosmetics.

[0003] Currently, traditional methods for cleaning and sterilizing fermenters have many drawbacks. In terms of cleaning, most fermenters still rely on manual disassembly of parts for rinsing, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also prone to damage to parts or decreased sealing performance due to improper operation. Some in-situ cleaning (CIP) systems have limited spray angles and coverage areas, making it difficult to thoroughly clean complex structural areas such as tank corners and the back of the agitator, easily creating cleaning dead zones that allow residual materials to breed microorganisms. Therefore, this invention proposes a novel solution. Utility Model Content

[0029] Please see Figure 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution: a sterile fermentation tank device for cosmetic fermented oil raw materials, including a cosmetic fermentation tank 1 and a fermentation tank cover 2, and a cleaning component. The cleaning component is set on the fermentation tank cover 2 and includes a fixed bracket 6. The upper end of the fixed bracket 6 is fixedly connected to a drive motor 7. The output end of the drive motor 7 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 8. The rotating shaft 8 extends rotatably into the interior of the fermentation tank cover 2. A turntable 16 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft 8. Both the rotating shaft 8 and the turntable 16 are hollow and internally connected. The upper end of the turntable 16 is conical. Multiple connecting strips 19 are fixedly connected to the surface of the turntable 16. Multiple nozzles 18 are fixedly connected to the lower end and sides of the turntable 16. A water passage block 9 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the fermentation tank cover 2. The water passage block 9 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 8. Multiple water passage holes 20 are opened on the surface of the rotating shaft 8. A water passage pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the front end of the water passage block 9. The end of the water passage pipe 10 away from the water passage block 9 is forked.

[0030] Two agitators 17 are fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft 8.

[0031] The upper end of the fermentation tank cover 2 is fixedly connected to a first feed pipe 13 and a second feed pipe 14, and the upper end of the fermentation tank cover 2 is fixedly connected to an air inlet pipe 11 and an exhaust pipe 12.

[0032] The cosmetic fermentation tank 1 and the fermentation tank cover 2 are fixed together by bolts, and a sealing gasket 15 is provided between the cosmetic fermentation tank 1 and the fermentation tank cover 2.

[0033] A connecting sleeve 3 is fixedly connected to the surface of the cosmetic fermentation tank 1. Multiple heating plates 5 are fixedly connected to the inside of the connecting sleeve 3. A cooling pipe 4 is fixedly connected inside the connecting sleeve 3. The cooling pipe 4 is spiral in shape, and both ends of the cooling pipe 4 extend out of the connecting sleeve 3.

[0034] A discharge pipe 22 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the cosmetic fermentation tank 1, and a steam pipe 21 is fixedly connected to the side of the cosmetic fermentation tank 1.

[0035] A temperature sensor is fixedly connected to the upper end of the fermenter lid 2.

[0036] When using this device, the aseptic fermentation tank is formed by bolting the cosmetic fermentation tank 1 to the fermentation tank cover 2 to form a closed tank body. The sealing gasket 15 ensures a sterile environment inside the tank. The fermentation tank cover 2 integrates cleaning components, feed pipes and other structures. The connecting sleeve 3 on the outside of the tank body has a built-in heating plate 5 and a spiral cooling pipe 4, which respectively realize precise heating and cooling control of the fermentation temperature. The steam pipe 21 can be connected to high-temperature steam for sterilization treatment inside the tank body, and the discharge pipe 22 is used to discharge the raw materials after fermentation.

[0037] The first feed pipe 13 and the second feed pipe 14 are used to feed fermentation raw materials (such as oils, microbial strains) and nutrients, respectively; the drive motor 7 drives the rotating shaft 8 and the stirring paddle 17 to rotate, and the upper layer is mixed: the rotating disc 16 generates centrifugal force, which pushes the material to diffuse towards the edge of the tank; the blades of the stirring paddle 17 cut the fluid to form an axial circulation, ensuring that the raw materials and strains are fully mixed and improving the fermentation efficiency.

[0038] The heating plate 5 inside the connecting sleeve 3 adopts PID temperature control technology, sets the temperature according to the fermentation process requirements, and heats the tank through resistance heating; the spiral cooling pipe 4 is connected to circulating cooling water, and when the fermentation temperature is too high, the cold water flows to remove the heat and achieve cooling; the temperature sensor at the top of the fermentation tank lid 2 monitors the temperature inside the tank in real time and feeds it back to the control system to automatically adjust the heating / cooling intensity to ensure that the fermentation process is carried out in a constant temperature environment.

[0039] The cosmetic fermentation tank 1 and the fermentation tank lid 2 are fastened together with bolts and form a physical seal with the sealing gasket 15 to prevent external air, dust and other pollutants from entering; the air inlet pipe 11 can introduce sterile air to maintain a slight positive pressure inside the tank and prevent external bacteria from entering through gaps; before each fermentation, 121°C high-temperature steam is introduced into the tank through the steam pipe 21 and maintained for 30 minutes, combined with the gas-liquid sterilization of the cleaning components, to thoroughly kill the microorganisms remaining inside the tank and pipes.

[0040] The tank is pre-sterilized through steam pipe 21, while cleaning agent is injected through water pipe 10. The drive motor 7 drives the cleaning component to rotate, which causes the rotating shaft 8 to drive the turntable 16 to rotate. By sequentially injecting cleaning agent and pure water into the inside of 10, the inner walls of the cosmetic fermentation tank 1 and the fermentation tank cover 2 are rinsed and cleaned, thus completing the tank cleaning. Then, sterile air is introduced into the drying tank through air inlet pipe 11.

[0041] Then, raw materials and inoculum are fed into the first and second feed pipes, the stirring paddle 17 and the temperature control system are started to maintain the set fermentation conditions, and sterile air is introduced through the air inlet pipe 11 to ensure the aerobic environment required by the microorganisms. After fermentation, the finished raw materials are discharged through the discharge pipe 22, the cleaning components are started again for circulation cleaning, and then high-temperature steam is introduced into the steam pipe 21 again for sterilization to maintain the sterility of the cosmetic fermentation tank 1 and the inside of the fermentation tank lid 2, in preparation for the next batch of fermentation.

[0042] Furthermore, the cleaning assembly drives the rotating shaft 8 and the turntable 16 to rotate at high speed via the drive motor 7. The nozzles 18 at the lower end and side of the turntable 16 form a 360° three-dimensional jet flow field. The side nozzles 18 can directly spray the back of the stirring paddle 17, the corners of the tank side wall, and other traditional cleaning blind spots, while the lower nozzles cover the bottom of the tank and the vicinity of the discharge port. Combined with the centrifugal force of the conical turntable, the cleaning liquid can be flushed at high speed across the entire surface of the tank to thoroughly remove residual materials and improve cleaning efficiency.

[0043] After cleaning, high-temperature steam can be introduced into the steam pipe 21, which, together with the cleaning liquid sprayed by the nozzle 18 in the early stage, can be evenly diffused into the inside of the tank, realizing the dual mechanism of "physical flushing of cleaning liquid + high-temperature sterilization". According to the test, this process can reduce the amount of microbial residue inside the tank and effectively eliminate the risk of contamination by miscellaneous bacteria.
