Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of solid fermentation tank technology, specifically relating to a solid fermentation tank with ventilation and mechanical material turning. Background Technology

[0002] Solid-state fermentation is a biological process that utilizes microorganisms to ferment in a solid substrate with virtually no free water. It is widely used in the preparation of organic fertilizers, bio-feed, enzyme preparations, antibiotics, organic acids, and biofuels. As the core equipment in this process, the performance of the solid-state fermentation tank directly affects fermentation efficiency and product quality.

[0003] Currently, most common solid-state fermenters employ static composting or simple mechanical stirring methods, which suffer from problems such as uneven material mixing, insufficient ventilation and oxygen supply, and the formation of dead zones and temperature gradients. Especially when processing high-viscosity, easily agglomerated materials, traditional stirring devices struggle to achieve adequate mixing and aeration, leading to decreased microbial metabolic activity, prolonged fermentation cycles, and unstable product quality. Therefore, it is necessary to design a solid-state fermenter with ventilation and mechanical material turning to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

The upper end of the stirring shaft 14 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the stirring motor 3. A stirring main rod 8 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the stirring shaft 14 via a fixing ring 17. A driven shaft 11 is rotatably installed at one end of the stirring main rod 8 via a bearing. The stirring shaft 14 is driven by the stirring motor 3.

The stirring rod 9 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the driven shaft 11, and the transmission gear 12 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the driven shaft 11. The transmission gear ring 13 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the fermentation plate 6. The transmission gear 12 meshes with the transmission gear ring 13. The stirring scraper 10 is fixedly installed on the lower side of one end of the stirring rod 8 corresponding to the position of the stirring rod 9. With the meshing transmission of the transmission gear ring 13 and the transmission gear 12, the driven shaft 11 and the stirring rod 9 are driven to rotate and stir, thereby improving the stirring effect of the material.

[0020] Further reading is available. Figures 1 to 3 The mixing frame 9 includes a star-shaped frame, and a mixing rod is fixedly installed on the lower side of the star-shaped frame, which facilitates the installation and use of the mixing frame 9 for mixing. The mixing scraper 10 is U-shaped, and the two legs of the mixing scraper 10 are fixed on the mixing frame 8, which facilitates the scraper 10 to scrape the fermented material on the fermentation plate 6, thereby facilitating mixing. The outer side of the tank body 2 is provided with an inlet and outlet 4, and the position of the inlet and outlet 4 corresponds to the position of the fermentation plate 6, which facilitates the cleaning or addition of fermented material on the fermentation plate 6 during use.

[0021] As can be seen from the above description, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: when in use, the fermentation material plate 6 is stacked in layers inside the base 1, and each layer is independently turned over with the main stirring rod 8 and the main stirring frame 9, and the bottom of the fermentation material plate 6 is scooped up with the stirring scraper 10, so as to ensure more thorough stirring and turning of the material.

[0022] Example 2: Please refer to Figures 1 to 3As shown, based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides a technical solution: a base 1 is provided at the lower end of the tank 2, and a vent 5 is provided on the surface of the base 1 to facilitate ventilation and gas replenishment. A hollow structure is provided on the inner side of the stirring shaft 14, and the stirring shaft 14 is connected to the position of the fermentation material plate 6 through the internal pipe of the fixing ring 17 and the stirring main rod 8. A ventilation fan 15 and a ventilation seat 16 are installed on the inner side of the base 1. The ventilation fan 15 is connected to the inside of the stirring shaft 14 through the ventilation seat 16.

[0024] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: During use, the fermentation material is placed on the fermentation material plate 6 through the inlet / outlet 4. The stirring motor 3 drives the stirring shaft 14 to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring main rod 8 and the stirring scraper 10 to rotate and scrape and stir the material. At the same time, the meshing transmission gear ring 13 and the transmission gear 12 drive the driven shaft 11 and the stirring main frame 9 to rotate and stir, thereby improving the stirring effect of the material. The layered structure of the fermentation material plate 6 makes stirring easier and more convenient, resulting in higher stirring efficiency. During fermentation, air can be supplied to the stirring shaft 14 through the ventilation fan 15 and the ventilation seat 16 as needed. Air is directly introduced into the fermentation material plate 6 through the fixed ring 17 and the built-in channel of the stirring main rod 8, which, together with the stirring, ensures that the fermentation material and air are in full contact.
