Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fermentation equipment, and specifically relates to a feed fermentation device with an anti-mold growth structure. Background Technology

[0002] Feed fermentation equipment is a specialized device used for the microbial fermentation of feed ingredients. During the fermentation process, humidity control is crucial. Moisture generated during fermentation tends to accumulate at the bottom of the device, causing localized humidity levels to far exceed the optimal range, creating favorable conditions for mold growth. A common solution is to install simple drainage outlets at the bottom of the device. However, because it's impossible to monitor humidity in real time and drain water as needed, problems often arise with untimely or excessive drainage. The former promotes mold growth, while the latter disrupts the moisture balance during fermentation, thus interfering with the fermentation process. From an air circulation perspective, poor internal airflow easily creates areas of uneven oxygen distribution, where aerobic molds can easily proliferate. Intermittent artificial ventilation is typically used to improve this, but this cannot continuously and stably control oxygen concentration. Therefore, a new structure is needed to address these technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a feed fermentation device with an anti-mold growth structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background technology.

[0020] 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.

[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 4As the first embodiment of this utility model: a feed fermentation device with an anti-mold growth structure, comprising: a fermentation component and a ventilation component, a ventilation component for ventilation is installed on the outer surface of the fermentation component, a drainage component for drainage is installed on the outer surface of the fermentation component, the fermentation component includes a fermentation tank 100 for fermentation, a discharge cylinder 110 is integrally formed on the lower surface of the fermentation tank 100, a feed inlet 160 for feeding is installed on the upper surface of the fermentation tank 100, and a detection component is installed on the upper surface of the feed inlet 160 through the tank cover;

[0022] Two support legs 140 are symmetrically installed on the lower edge of the outer surface of the fermentation tank 100. A discharge cylinder 110 with a conical structure is integrally formed on the lower surface of the fermentation tank 100. The diameter of the discharge cylinder 110 gradually decreases from top to bottom.

[0023] A discharge valve 130 is installed at the center of the lower surface of the discharge cylinder 110. The drainage components include a filter screen 121 and a drain pipe 120. The filter screen 121 is installed on the inner wall of the discharge cylinder 110, and the drain pipe 120 is installed on the outer surface of the discharge cylinder 110. A solenoid valve is installed at the end of the drain pipe 120 away from the discharge cylinder 110. The drain pipe 120 is connected to the inside of the discharge cylinder 110.

[0024] A feed inlet 160 is provided at the center of the upper surface of the fermentation tank 100. A tank cover is sealed on the upper surface of the feed inlet 160. The detection components include a display 170 and a humidity sensor 180. The display is installed on the upper surface of the tank cover, and the humidity sensor 180 is installed on the upper surface of the tank cover.

[0025] The detection end of the humidity sensor 180 is located inside the fermentation tank 100. A railing 150 is installed on the outer edge of the upper surface of the fermentation tank 100. Two ventilation components for ventilation are symmetrically installed on the upper edge of the outer surface of the fermentation tank 100.

[0026] During use, the humidity sensor 180 on the upper surface of the tank lid is electrically connected to the ventilation component and drainage component via a control device (the humidity sensor 180 is existing technology, and its specific working principle and connection principle will not be described in detail here). When the humidity sensor 180 detects that the humidity inside the fermentation tank 100 exceeds the threshold, the control device will activate the ventilation component and the solenoid valve at the end of the drain pipe 120 away from the discharge cylinder 110, causing the fermentation water accumulated at the bottom of the discharge cylinder 110 to be discharged through the drain pipe 120. Since the installation height of the drain pipe 120 is higher than the height of the discharge valve 130 of the discharge cylinder 110, the water inside the discharge cylinder 110 will not be discharged by the drain pipe 120, and a portion will be retained. This retained portion can ensure the moisture required for feed fermentation, enabling the ventilation component to work and ventilate the inside of the fermentation tank 100 to prevent mold growth. During use, the drainage component can promptly drain the excess water generated during feed fermentation, preventing the humidity inside the fermentation tank 100 from exceeding the standard, thus inhibiting the humid environment required for mold growth from the root.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 4 As a second embodiment of the present utility model: based on the description in the above embodiments, the ventilation component further includes a mounting plate 220, a ventilation cylinder 210, a sealing cover 240 and an axial flow fan 230. A ventilation hole 221 is provided through the surface of the mounting plate 220. The ventilation cylinder 210 is integrally formed on the upper surface of the mounting plate 220. The axial flow fan 230 is rotatably installed inside the ventilation cylinder 210.

[0028] A sealing cover 240 is installed at the end of the ventilation duct 210 away from the mounting plate 220. The surface of the sealing cover 240 is hinged with a cover plate by a latch. A ventilation assembly is installed on the upper side of the outer surface of the fermenter 100 through the mounting plate 220.

[0029] In use, when the ventilation assembly is activated to ventilate the interior of the fermentation tank 100 according to the operating steps of the first embodiment, the axial fan 230 inside the ventilation duct 210 will operate, and then the cover plate on the surface of the sealing cover 240 will be opened, and then the humid air inside the fermentation tank 100 will be extracted (when the ventilation assembly is working, it will reduce the humidity inside the fermentation tank 100 to a threshold standard, which is detected by the humidity sensor 180. When the humidity drops to the standard, the ventilation assembly will stop working to avoid fermentation failure of the feed due to excessively low humidity). Because two ventilation ducts are symmetrically installed on the outer surface of the fermentation tank 100... The system consists of two components: one ventilation component for exhaust and another for intake, which alters the humidity inside the fermentation tank 100, affecting mold growth and achieving an anti-mold effect. During use, the sealing cover 240 can be opened and closed flexibly, working in conjunction with the axial fan 230 to promptly expel the hot, humid gases and excess moisture generated during fermentation, reducing the humidity of the fermentation environment and disrupting the humid conditions that mold thrives in. Simultaneously, it continuously replenishes fresh air, preventing localized oxygen buildup and the formation of anaerobic dead zones, thus inhibiting the reproduction of aerobic mold. It also ensures a more uniform temperature during fermentation, guaranteeing a suitable environment for beneficial bacteria, thereby effectively preventing mold growth and improving the quality and safety of feed fermentation.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. 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.
