Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fermentation tank technology, specifically to a liquid microbial inoculant fermentation device. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of liquid microbial inoculants, traditional fermentation equipment typically uses electric heating to heat the fermentation tank, along with an external agitator to mix the inoculant with the liquid raw materials. However, in practical use, existing fermentation equipment still has the following shortcomings: First, electric heating suffers from uneven heating or localized overheating, which may lead to excessively high temperatures in certain areas inside the tank, affecting the activity of microorganisms or even causing their death, thus impacting the fermentation quality and survival rate of the inoculant. Second, the agitator structure is relatively simple, resulting in unsatisfactory mixing and failing to achieve thorough mixing of the microbial inoculant and raw materials. Furthermore, the raw material feeding method generally relies on manual or single-pipeline delivery, making it difficult to achieve automated, grouped, and controlled feeding of raw materials, reducing production efficiency and hindering precise control of the amount of various raw materials added.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a liquid microbial agent fermentation equipment that can achieve constant temperature control, automatic mixing, and automatic feeding, so as to improve the production efficiency and quality stability of microbial agents. Utility Model Content

[0032] like Figures 1-2 As shown, it illustrates a liquid microbial inoculant fermentation device according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprising:

[0033] Tank 1 has symmetrically fixed support legs 2 on the bottom side wall of tank 1. A discharge pipe 3 with a valve is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom wall of tank 1. Several stirring shafts 5 are symmetrically rotated between the inner walls of tank 1. A temperature sensor and a pH sensor (not shown in the figure) are installed inside tank 1.

[0034] Heating component 4 is installed at the center of tank 1. A drive component 6 is installed on the top wall of tank 1 to drive heating component 4 and stirring shaft 5.

[0035] Feeding assembly 9 is installed above drive assembly 6 and is used to add liquid raw materials into tank 1.

[0036] In this embodiment, the driving component 6 drives the heating component 4 and the stirring shaft 5 to rotate, which can fully mix the microbial inoculant and the corresponding liquid raw materials cultivated in the tank 1, ensuring the normal growth of the microbial inoculant. Simultaneously, the heating component 4 heats the inside of the tank 1 by circulating hot water. Compared with traditional electric heating, this heating method can effectively avoid localized overheating that could kill the microorganisms. The feeding component 9 facilitates the classification and storage of liquid raw materials, and automatically adds the corresponding raw materials during its rotation. Temperature and pH sensors are used to detect the temperature and pH value inside the tank 1, ensuring timely adjustment of the microbial cultivation environment. Both temperature and pH sensors are commercially available, and the appropriate model can be selected according to actual needs.

[0037] like Figures 2-3 As shown, it illustrates the heating assembly 4 and the driving assembly 6 in another embodiment of the present invention. The heating assembly 4 includes an annular tube 41, which is fixed to the top wall of the tank 1. A water inlet pipe 42 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the annular tube 41. An annular shell 43 is rotatably mounted on the bottom wall of the annular tube 41 through a leak-proof bearing. The annular shell 43 is connected to the inner cavity of the annular tube 41. A serpentine tube 44 is symmetrically fixed to the bottom wall of the annular shell 43. The other end of the serpentine tube 44 is fixedly connected to the same water collection shell 45. The water collection shell 45 is rotatably mounted at the center of the top wall of the tank 1. A connecting pipe 46 is fixedly connected to the top wall of the water collection shell 45.

[0038] The drive assembly 6 includes a protective shell 61. A central gear 62 is installed in the center of the inner cavity of the protective shell 61. The central gear 62 is fixed on the connecting pipe 46. Several transmission gears 63 are symmetrically meshed on the side wall of the central gear 62. The transmission gears 63 are rotatably mounted on the top wall of the inner cavity of the protective shell 61. The transmission gears 63 are meshed with driven gears 64. The top end of the stirring shaft 5 passes through the top wall of the tank 1 through a bearing and is fixedly connected to the center position of the bottom wall of the corresponding driven gear 64. A drive motor 65 is fixed on the top wall of the protective shell 61. The power shaft at the bottom of the drive motor 65 passes through the protective shell 61 through a bearing and is fixedly connected to the axis of any one of the transmission gears 63.

[0039] The top end of the connecting pipe 46 passes through the top wall of the protective shell 61 via a bearing and is connected to a drain pipe 8 via a rotary joint 7.

[0040] In this embodiment, the heating component 4 heats the inside of the tank 1 by circulating hot water. Simultaneously, it rotates under the action of the drive component 6, working in conjunction with the stirring shaft 5 to ensure thorough mixing of the microbial agent and the corresponding liquid raw materials. During use, hot water is continuously supplied to the inlet pipe 42. The water flows through the annular shell 43 into the serpentine tube 44, and then is collected through the water collection shell 45 and connecting pipe 46 into the drain pipe 8. The heat from the hot water is conducted to the tank 1 through the serpentine tube 44, thus regulating the temperature inside the tank 1. When mixing the microbial agent and the corresponding liquid raw materials, the drive motor 65 is switched on. The drive motor 65 drives the central gear 62 and the driven gear 64 to rotate via the transmission gear 63. The rotation of the central gear 62 drives the bottom serpentine tube 44 to rotate, stirring the liquid raw materials. Simultaneously, the rotation of the driven gear 64 drives the stirring shaft 5 to stir the liquid raw materials, ensuring thorough mixing of the microbial agent and the corresponding liquid raw materials.

[0041] like Figures 4-6 As shown, the feeding assembly 9 in another embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. The feeding assembly 9 includes a mounting shell 91, which is fixed to the top wall of the protective shell 61. A liquid storage tank 92 is rotatably mounted inside the mounting shell 91. The liquid storage tank 92 is divided into multiple liquid storage chambers 93 by a partition. A mounting frame 95 is fixed between the top walls of the mounting shell 91. A servo motor 96 is fixed to the top wall of the mounting frame 95. The power shaft at the bottom of the servo motor 96 passes through the mounting frame 95 through a bearing and is fixedly connected to the center position of the top wall of the liquid storage tank 92. A draining mechanism 97 is fixed to the bottom wall of each liquid storage chamber 93. A discharge pipe 10 that cooperates with the draining mechanism 97 is fixed to the bottom wall of the mounting shell 91.

[0042] A feeding port 98 is provided on the top wall of the liquid storage tank 92 at the position corresponding to the liquid storage chamber 93, and a threaded cover 94 is screwed onto the top wall of the liquid storage tank 92 at the position corresponding to the feeding port 98.

[0043] The drainage mechanism 97 includes a housing 971, which is fixed to the bottom wall of the storage chamber 93. A sliding sleeve 972 is slidably installed inside the housing 971. A spring 973 is fixed between the top wall of the sliding sleeve 972 and the top wall of the inner cavity of the housing 971. A central column 974 is fixed in the center of the top wall of the inner cavity of the sliding sleeve 972. A ball bearing 975 is rotatably installed on the bottom wall of the central column 974. A first through hole 976 is symmetrically opened at the bottom of the side wall of the housing 971. A second through hole 977 is opened on the side wall of the sliding sleeve 972 to cooperate with the first through hole 976.

[0044] The discharge pipe 10 includes a pipe body 101, which is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the mounting shell 91. The bottom end of the pipe body 101 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner cavity of the tank 1. The top end of the pipe body 101 is fixed with a hemispherical shell 103 that cooperates with the ball 975 through a connecting rod 102. A drain hole 104 is provided on the hemispherical shell 103. A solenoid valve (not shown in the figure) is installed on the pipe body 101.

[0045] In this embodiment, the feeding component 9 can conveniently classify and store liquid raw materials, and can automatically add the corresponding raw materials during the rotation of the feeding component 9. When the feeding component 9 is in use, it first replenishes the liquid raw material into the corresponding liquid storage chamber 93 through the feeding port 8. When it is necessary to add the corresponding liquid raw material into the tank 1, the servo motor 96 drives the liquid storage tank 92 to rotate. During the rotation of the liquid storage tank 92, the ball bearing 975 will roll along the bottom wall of the outer shell 971. At this time, the second through hole 977 on the sliding sleeve 972 is offset from the first through hole 976. The first through hole 976 is in a closed state. At this time, the spring 973 is in a compressed state. When the corresponding discharge mechanism 97 moves to the position of the discharge pipe 10, the sliding sleeve 972 moves downward under the action of the spring 973. At this time, the ball bearing 975 will be stuck in the hemispherical shell 103. At this time, the second through hole 977 on the sliding sleeve 972 is aligned with the first through hole 976. The liquid raw material in the liquid storage chamber 93 enters the discharge pipe 10 through the second through hole 977 and the first through hole 976, and finally falls into the tank 1. As the liquid storage tank 92 continues to rotate, the ball bearing 975 pushes the intermediate column 974 upward under the action of the side wall of the hemispherical shell 103. During the upward movement of the intermediate column 974, it will drive the sliding sleeve 972 to move upward, causing the second through hole 977 and the first through hole 976 to be misaligned, and the first through hole 976 will be closed again.

[0046] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
