Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fermentation monitoring equipment technology, and in particular to a temperature and humidity monitoring device for solid-state fermentation. Background Technology

[0002] Solid-state fermentation refers to a biological reaction process in which one or more microorganisms ferment in an underwater-soluble solid substrate with a certain level of humidity. Solid-state fermentation has advantages such as low water content, low requirements for aseptic control, high final product concentration, low substrate cost, simple process, and low energy consumption.

[0003] A search revealed a horizontal solid-state fermenter with controllable temperature and humidity in patent document CN110551626B. It includes a fermenter body, a stirring system, a humidity control system, a heating system, a power system, and feeding and discharging device components.

[0004] Based on the above search and combined with existing technologies, it was found that existing solid-state fermentation equipment monitors the temperature and humidity inside the tank using temperature and humidity sensors. However, these sensors are all located at the edges of the tank and cannot monitor the temperature in the center (and other areas). During solid-state fermentation, there is a significant temperature difference between the central area and the surrounding area, resulting in inaccurate monitoring results. Some monitoring sensors are fixed in the middle of the tank, but they cannot monitor other areas besides the center, making them inflexible in use. Therefore, a temperature and humidity monitoring device for solid-state fermentation is needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a temperature and humidity monitoring device for solid-state fermentation to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a temperature and humidity monitoring device for solid-state fermentation, comprising:

[0007] The shielding cover has a detection hole that penetrates through it. There are two shielding covers, which can be detached and fixed to form a sphere.

[0008] An integrated monitoring module is installed inside a sphere formed by two shielding covers. The integrated monitoring module monitors the temperature and humidity of the solid fermentation material outside the shielding covers through detection holes. A flexible cable is fixed on the integrated monitoring module and passes through one of the shielding covers. The integrated monitoring module transmits temperature and humidity information to an external terminal through the flexible cable.

[0009] Two ferromagnets are provided, and the two ferromagnets are respectively fixedly sleeved on the outside of the two shielding covers;

[0010] Electromagnets are installed in multiple locations around the fermentation tank. When an electromagnet is energized, it attracts ferromagnetic objects to move.

[0011] Preferably, the shielding cover has a sandwich cavity that partially divides the shielding cover into inner and outer layers. Multiple detection holes are provided and are all located within the partition range of the sandwich cavity. The multiple detection holes are located in the inner and outer layers of the shielding cover, respectively, and the detection holes in the inner layer and the detection holes in the outer layer are staggered.

[0012] Preferably, the ferromagnetic material has rounded corners at its edges, the edges of which fit against the outer wall of the shield, and the rounded corners have the same curvature as the shield.

[0013] Preferably, one of the shielding covers has a through hole for threading through the shielding cover. The through hole is located within the cavity of the interlayer. The flexible cable is fixedly threaded through the through hole, and a thickened flange is formed inside the through hole.

[0014] Preferably, one of the shielding covers has an integrally formed internal threaded ring at one end, and the other shielding cover has an integrally formed external threaded ring at one end. The internal threaded ring is sleeved around the external threaded ring, and the external threaded ring and the internal threaded ring are threadedly matched.

[0015] Preferably, both shielding covers are fixed with mounting blocks, and multiple mounting blocks are provided and locked at multiple corners of the integrated monitoring module.

[0016] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] 1. In this utility model, by setting up a shielding cover, an integrated monitoring module, a ferromagnet, and an electromagnet, the temperature and humidity monitoring device for solid-state fermentation can move flexibly inside the fermentation tank, and the range of movement covers all areas of the fermentation tank. The device is flexible in control, thereby achieving the purpose of monitoring the humidity and temperature at any location inside the fermentation tank, resulting in better performance.

[0018] 2. In this utility model, the interlayer cavity and the alternating arrangement of the inner and outer detection holes ensure that the shielding effect of the shield is good, while also meeting the need for communication between the inside of the shield and the inside of the fermentation tank. This allows the integrated monitoring module inside to better monitor the surrounding environmental temperature and humidity information, and ensures the accuracy of the detection.

[0019] 3. In this utility model, the setting of external threaded ring and internal threaded ring allows the two shielding covers to be easily disassembled and assembled, thereby facilitating the maintenance or replacement of the integrated monitoring module inside the shielding cover and making subsequent maintenance easier.

[0026] 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.

[0027] Example: Reference Figures 1-4 The temperature and humidity monitoring device for solid-state fermentation shown includes a shielding cover 1, an integrated monitoring module 2, a ferromagnet 3, and an electromagnet 4. The integrated monitoring module 2 adopts a monitoring module that integrates a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, and a data transmission unit, which is commonly used in the prior art. The temperature sensor, humidity sensor, and data transmission unit are all prior art, and their specific structures and working principles are well known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0028] The shielding cover 1 has a detection hole 12 that penetrates the shielding cover 1. There are two shielding covers 1, which can be detached and fixed to form a sphere.

[0029] The integrated monitoring module 2 is installed inside the sphere formed by the two shields 1. The integrated monitoring module 2 monitors the temperature and humidity of the solid fermentation material outside the shield 1 through the detection hole 12. A flexible cable 21 is fixed on the integrated monitoring module 2. The flexible cable 21 passes through one of the shields 1. The integrated monitoring module 2 transmits temperature and humidity information to an external terminal (not shown in the figure, using a terminal device commonly used in the prior art and applicable to this embodiment that can receive temperature and humidity information) through the flexible cable 21.

[0030] The shielding cover 1 is made of a material commonly used in the prior art and applicable to this embodiment that can shield magnetic fields (such as polyimide), which can shield the magnetic field influence of the electromagnet 4 and protect the internal integrated monitoring module 2.

[0031] The ferromagnetic body 3 is a ring made of ferromagnetic material. It can be attracted to the electromagnet 4 when energized. There are two ferromagnetic bodies 3, and the two ferromagnetic bodies 3 are respectively fixedly sleeved on the outside of the two shielding covers 1.

[0032] Multiple electromagnets 4 are installed and distributed around the inside of the fermentation tank. When the electromagnets 4 are energized, they attract the ferromagnets 3 to move.

[0033] Based on the above structure, when the electromagnet 4 is energized, it can attract the ferromagnet 3 to move. By switching multiple electromagnets 4 on and off, the ferromagnet 3 can be controlled to move to any position inside the fermentation tank. At the same time, the inside of the shielding cover 1 is connected to the inside of the fermentation tank through the detection hole 12. Therefore, the integrated monitoring module 2 can monitor the humidity and temperature at the current position in real time and transmit the monitored data to the external terminal through the flexible cable 21 for staff to read.

[0034] This allows the temperature and humidity monitoring device used for solid-state fermentation to move flexibly within the fermentation tank, covering all areas of the fermentation tank. It offers flexible control and enables the monitoring of humidity and temperature at any location within the fermentation tank, resulting in better performance.

[0035] Furthermore, a sandwich cavity 11 is provided on the shielding cover 1, which partially divides the shielding cover 1 into inner and outer layers. Multiple detection holes 12 are provided and are all located within the partition range of the sandwich cavity 11. The multiple detection holes 12 are located in the inner layer and the outer layer of the shielding cover 1, respectively, and the detection holes 12 in the inner layer and the detection holes 12 in the outer layer are staggered.

[0036] This ensures that the shielding cover 1 provides good shielding while also meeting the requirement for communication between the inside of the shielding cover 1 and the inside of the fermenter. This allows the integrated monitoring module 2 inside to better monitor the surrounding ambient temperature and humidity information, and ensures the accuracy of the detection.

[0037] Furthermore, a rounded corner 31 is formed at the edge of the ferromagnetic body 3. The edge of the rounded corner 31 is attached to the outer wall of the shield 1. The rounded corner 31 has the same curvature as the shield 1, which can reduce the resistance when the shield 1 and the ferromagnetic body 3 move.

[0038] Furthermore, one of the shielding covers 1 has a through hole 15 that penetrates the shielding cover 1. The through hole 15 is located within the cavity 11 of the interlayer. The flexible cable 21 is fixedly passed through the through hole 15. A thickened flange is formed inside the through hole 15.

[0039] Furthermore, one of the shielding covers 1 has an internally threaded ring 14 integrally formed at one end, and the other shielding cover 1 has an externally threaded ring 13 integrally formed at one end. The internally threaded ring 14 is sleeved around the externally threaded ring 13, and the externally threaded ring 13 and the internally threaded ring 14 are threadedly matched.

[0040] The external threaded ring 13 and the internal threaded ring 14 enable the two shields 1 to be easily disassembled and assembled, thereby facilitating the maintenance or replacement of the integrated monitoring module 2 inside the shield 1 and making subsequent maintenance easier.

[0041] Furthermore, both shielding covers 1 are fixed with mounting blocks 5. The mounting blocks 5 can be made of flexible materials (such as rubber or sponge). Multiple mounting blocks 5 are provided and are locked at multiple corners of the integrated monitoring module 2. By setting the mounting blocks 5, it is easy to limit the internal integrated monitoring module 2, thereby preventing the integrated monitoring module 2 from flipping inside the shielding cover 1, ensuring the stability of the integrated monitoring module 2's posture, and thus reducing or avoiding the probability of the integrated monitoring module 2 being damaged by collision during movement.

[0042] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In daily use, when the electromagnet 4 is energized, it can attract the ferromagnet 3 to move. By switching multiple electromagnets 4 on and off, the ferromagnet 3 can be controlled to move to any position inside the fermentation tank. At the same time, the inside of the shielding cover 1 is connected to the inside of the fermentation tank through the detection hole 12. Therefore, the integrated monitoring module 2 can monitor the humidity and temperature at the current position in real time and transmit the monitored data to the external terminal through the flexible cable 21 for the staff to read.

[0043] It should be further noted that the technical features of the temperature sensor, humidity sensor, data transmission unit, electromagnet, external terminal, etc. involved in this utility model patent application should be regarded as prior art. The specific structure, working principle, and possible control methods and spatial arrangement of these technical features can be adopted using conventional choices in the field and should not be regarded as the inventive point of this utility model patent. This utility model patent will not be further elaborated in detail.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present 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 the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
