Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fermentation technology, specifically to an intermediate fermentation device. Background Technology
[0002] Intermediate fermentation equipment is a specialized device used in the field of microbial fermentation to produce various intermediate products. It plays a key role in industries such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food, and bioenergy. By integrating multiple systems, intermediate fermentation equipment provides a stable and suitable environment for microbial growth and reactions, effectively promoting material transformation and ensuring the efficient production of intermediate products.
[0003] Currently, in the field of fermentation technology, existing fermentation devices generally have a significant drawback: they rarely have gas venting devices. During fermentation, the metabolic activities of microorganisms continuously produce a large amount of gas. If the device lacks a venting device, the pressure inside the device will rise sharply as the gas accumulates. This not only puts great pressure on the structure of the fermentation equipment, but also makes the sealing components of the equipment prone to damage and leakage under high pressure for a long time, shortening the service life of the equipment and increasing maintenance costs. In view of this, we propose an intermediate fermentation device. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide an intermediate fermentation device that can solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes an intermediate fermentation device, including a support leg, a fermentation tank fixedly connected above the support leg, an inlet and a motor fixedly connected above the fermentation tank, a tank door on the outer wall of the fermentation tank, an outlet at the bottom of the fermentation tank, a connecting pipe connected to the fermentation tank, a support plate sleeved in the middle of the connecting pipe, the support plate fixedly connected to the side wall of the fermentation tank, and an auxiliary mechanism inside the fermentation tank, the auxiliary mechanism including a connecting seat fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fermentation tank.
[0006] Preferably, the connecting seat is provided with a receiving groove, the connecting pipe is connected to the receiving groove, and a partition is fixedly connected in the receiving groove.
[0007] Preferably, the side wall of the receiving groove is connected to a connecting pipe 2.
[0008] Preferably, the motor is fixedly connected to a fixed plate via its output end, and a sliding groove is provided below the fixed plate, with a slider slidably connected to the sliding groove.
[0009] Preferably, a fixing plate is fixedly connected below the fixing plate, and the side wall of the fixing plate is provided with multiple sets of through holes, through holes are inserted with bolts, and bolts are threaded with nuts.
[0010] Preferably, a stirring rod is fixedly connected below the slider.
[0011] Preferably, both the discharge port and the connecting pipe are equipped with valves. By activating the valve on the connecting pipe, the gas in the fermentation tank will enter the connecting seat through the connecting pipe, pass through the baffle, and finally pass through the connecting pipe. Then, it will be discharged to the outside of the fermentation tank through the connecting pipe. Since the connecting pipe is designed to face upwards, it can effectively prevent particulate matter in the fermentation tank from being sucked into the connecting pipe, thus effectively preventing the problem of blockage in the connecting pipe. Through the setting of the sliding groove and the slider, the eccentric position of the stirring rod can be adjusted at any time, thereby adjusting the stirring speed of the stirring rod. When it is necessary to adjust the eccentric position of the stirring rod, the bolt and nut must be unscrewed first. Then, the slider is slid through the sliding groove to adjust the eccentricity of the stirring rod. After the adjustment is completed, the bolt and nut are screwed back in through the through hole on the fixing plate, thereby fixing the position of the slider and thus fixing the position of the stirring rod.
[0012] This invention provides an intermediate fermentation apparatus. It has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] (1) When the valve on the connecting pipe 1 is activated, the gas in the fermentation tank will enter the connecting seat through the connecting pipe 2, pass through the baffle and finally pass through the connecting pipe 1, and then be discharged to the outside of the fermentation tank through the connecting pipe 1. Since the connecting pipe 2 is designed to face upward, with the cooperation of the baffle, it can effectively prevent the particulate matter in the fermentation tank from being sucked into the connecting pipe 1, and effectively prevent the problem of blockage of the connecting pipe 1.
[0014] (2) The intermediate fermentation device can adjust the eccentric position of the stirring rod at any time by setting the chute and the slider, thereby adjusting the stirring speed of the stirring rod. When it is necessary to adjust the eccentric position of the stirring rod, the bolt and nut must be unscrewed first, and then the slider is slid through the chute to adjust the eccentricity of the stirring rod. After the adjustment is completed, the bolt and nut are screwed back in through the through hole on the fixing plate, thereby completing the position fixation of the slider and thus completing the position fixation of the stirring rod.

[0024] 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.
[0025] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model proposes an intermediate fermentation device, including a support leg 1, a fermentation tank 2 fixedly connected above the support leg 1, an inlet 5 and a motor 4 fixedly connected above the fermentation tank 2, a tank door 3 on the outer wall of the fermentation tank 2, an outlet 6 at the bottom of the fermentation tank 2, a connecting pipe 8 connected to the fermentation tank 2, a support plate 7 sleeved in the middle of the connecting pipe 8, the support plate 7 fixedly connected to the side wall of the fermentation tank 2, and an auxiliary mechanism 9 inside the fermentation tank 2, the auxiliary mechanism 9 including a connecting seat 91 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fermentation tank 2.
[0026] In this embodiment of the utility model, in order to enable the auxiliary mechanism 9 to operate better, specifically, the connecting seat 91 is provided with a receiving groove, the connecting pipe 1 8 is connected to the receiving groove, the receiving groove is fixedly connected with a partition 92, the partition 92 is distributed in multiple sets in a staggered manner, which can effectively block the particles in the fermentation tank 2, the side wall of the receiving groove is connected to the connecting pipe 2 93, the motor 4 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 94 through its output end, the fixed plate 94 is provided with a sliding groove 95, the sliding groove 95 is slidably connected to a slider 96, the fixed plate 98 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate 94, the side wall of the fixed plate 98 is provided with multiple sets of through holes 99, the through holes 99 are inserted with bolts 910, and the bolts 910 are threadedly connected with nuts.
[0027] Furthermore, a stirring rod 97 is fixedly connected below the slider 96. Valves are installed on both the discharge port 6 and the connecting pipe 8. By activating the valve on the connecting pipe 8, the gas inside the fermentation tank 2 enters the connecting seat 91 through the connecting pipe 93, passes through the baffle 92, and finally flows to the connecting pipe 8. Then, it is discharged to the outside of the fermentation tank 2 through the connecting pipe 8. Since the connecting pipe 93 is designed to face upwards, it can effectively prevent particulate matter inside the fermentation tank 2 from being sucked into the connecting pipe 8 with the help of the baffle 92, effectively preventing the problem of blockage in the connecting pipe 8. By using the groove 95 and the slider 96, the eccentric position of the stirring rod 97 can be adjusted at any time, thereby adjusting the stirring rate of the stirring rod 97. When it is necessary to adjust the eccentric position of the stirring rod 97, the bolt 910 and nut must first be unscrewed. Then, the slider 96 is slid through the groove 95 to adjust the eccentricity of the stirring rod 97. After the adjustment is completed, the bolt 910 and nut are screwed back in through the fixing plate 98 and the through hole 99 on the fixing plate 98, thereby fixing the position of the slider 96 and thus fixing the position of the stirring rod 97.
[0028] In this invention, during use, the material to be fermented is fed into the fermentation tank 2 through the inlet 5. Then, the motor 4 is started to drive the stirring rod 97 to rotate, thus stirring and fermenting the material in the fermentation tank 2. During fermentation, the valve on the connecting pipe 8 is activated, allowing gas from the fermentation tank 2 to enter the connecting seat 91 through the connecting pipe 93, pass through the partition 92, and finally reach the connecting pipe 8. The gas is then discharged to the outside of the fermentation tank 2 through the connecting pipe 8. Because the connecting pipe 93 is designed to face upwards, the partition 92 effectively prevents particulate matter from being sucked into the connecting pipe 8. This effectively prevents the connection pipe 8 from becoming clogged. Simultaneously, the eccentric position of the stirring rod 97 can be adjusted at any time via the sliding groove 95 and the slider 96, thereby adjusting the stirring rate of the stirring rod 97. When the eccentric position of the stirring rod 97 needs to be adjusted, the bolt 910 and nut must first be unscrewed. Then, the slider 96 is slid along the sliding groove 95 to adjust the eccentricity of the stirring rod 97. After adjustment, the bolt 910 and nut are screwed back in through the fixing plate 98 and the through hole 99 on the fixing plate 98, thus fixing the position of the slider 96 and consequently fixing the position of the stirring rod 97.

All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
