Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of quantitative dispensing equipment, and in particular to a quantitative dispensing device for fermentation carbon sources. Background Technology

[0002] Fermentation carbon source refers to the carbon source substances required by microorganisms during growth and metabolism. It is mainly used to form microbial cells and metabolites. Carbon source is one of the core components of microbial nutrition requirements, providing energy for cell growth and carbon skeleton for synthesizing cell structure. During fermentation, the choice of carbon source directly affects the growth rate of microorganisms, the yield of metabolites and fermentation efficiency. Fermentation carbon source is the basic substance of microbial metabolism, and its selection needs to be combined with microbial needs, process conditions and target products. Industrially, starch and molasses are the main sources.

[0003] For example, patent number (CN219652922U) discloses a quantitative feeding device for fermentation carbon source, including a fixed frame. An L-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed frame, and a feeding pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed frame. In this device, the fermentation carbon source enters the measuring cup through the feeding pipe. An electric cylinder pushes a connecting plate to move, thereby moving a moving plate and the measuring cup. During this process, the moving plate blocks the feeding pipe. When the measuring cup moves outside the L-shaped plate, the weight of the fermentation carbon source itself causes the opening and closing cover to open, allowing it to fall into the feeding hopper. After a period of time, the electric cylinder drives the moving plate to move back. At this time, the opening and closing cover will automatically close under the resistance of the L-shaped plate. As needed, an adjusting disc can be rotated to rotate a butterfly valve to change the feeding amount. This structure allows for flexible adjustment of the feeding amount according to actual conditions, achieving good fermentation efficiency and yield.

[0004] Currently, fermentation carbon source quantitative dosing devices typically use solid weighing for dosing. This method of quantitative dosing is more cumbersome and inconvenient, and the fermentation carbon source is not easily dispersed, resulting in low uniformity. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a fermentation carbon source quantitative dispensing device, including a mixing tank and a dispensing cylinder. A drive motor is fixedly installed at the upper end of the mixing tank. The output end of the drive motor extends into the interior of the mixing tank and is fixedly installed with a transmission shaft.

[0007] Preferably, the quantitative dispensing device can be fixedly connected to the fermentation equipment through a support connection structure. It is connected to the fermentation equipment through a dispensing pipe to facilitate the quantitative dispensing of carbon sources. The carbon source addition port can be used to add carbon sources, and there are reserved addition ports for easy backup. Multiple carbon sources or the required solutions can be added for easy mixing. The liquid pump, valve structure and drive structure are all electrically connected to the control terminal for easy control operation. The electric telescopic rod can drive the adjustment piston plate to rise and fall, so as to easily set the quantitative space size according to the specific processing conditions and further adjust the quantitative value of the equipment without interfering with the pressure sensor and the annular float and other automatic quantitative measurement structures.

[0008] Preferably, a carbon source addition port is fixedly installed on the front side of the upper end of the mixing tank, and a reserved addition port is fixedly installed on the rear side of the upper end of the mixing tank.

[0009] Preferably, the output end of the drive motor is rotatably connected to the mixing tank, the stirring rods are evenly distributed, and the conveying pipe is connected to the dispensing cylinder.

It works in conjunction with a dispensing cylinder to quantitatively dispense the liquid fermentation carbon source. Through the mixing structure, it converts solid fermentation carbon source or multiple carbon sources into mixed liquid carbon source, which further facilitates the quantitative measurement of fermentation carbon source. At the same time, the liquid fermentation carbon source is easier to disperse and dispensed more evenly. Compared with traditional carbon sources, liquid composite carbon source can save on the amount used and improve fermentation efficiency and product yield.

[0016] 2. In this fermentation carbon source quantitative dispensing device, when the liquid fermentation carbon source is input into the dispensing cylinder, the annular float rises synchronously with the input liquid level until the annular float rises and presses against the pressure sensor.

An indicator light 13 is fixedly installed on the right side of the upper end of the dispensing cylinder 2. The fermentation carbon source and the liquid to be mixed are added to the mixing tank 1. The driving motor 3 drives the stirring rod 5 to process and generate the required liquid fermentation carbon source. The liquid fermentation carbon source is transported to the dispensing cylinder 2 for quantitative dispensing with the help of the conveying pipe 6. The liquid fermentation carbon source is easier to disperse and the dispensing is more uniform. The dispensing cylinder 2 can automatically measure the quantity using the pressure sensor 11 and the annular float 12.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-3 In this embodiment, a carbon source addition port 14 is fixedly installed on the front side of the upper end of the mixing tank 1, and a reserved addition port 15 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the upper end of the mixing tank 1. The output end of the drive motor 3 is rotatably connected to the mixing tank 1. The stirring rods 5 are evenly distributed. The conveying pipe 6 is connected to the dispensing cylinder 2.

The liquid fermentation carbon source is then transported to the dispensing cylinder 2 through the conveying pipe 6. The liquid fermentation carbon source is quantitatively dispensed through the dispensing cylinder 2, making it easier to disperse and dispensing more evenly.

[0027] Please see Figures 4-5In this embodiment, the output end of the electric telescopic rod 8 is slidably connected to the dispensing cylinder 2, the adjusting piston plate 9 is slidably connected to the dispensing cylinder 2, the surface of the limiting slide rod 10 is slidably connected to the adjusting piston plate 9, and the surface of the limiting slide rod 10 is slidably connected to the annular float 12.
