Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fermentation broth, and in particular to an automatic proportioning and mixing device for Bacillus subtilis fermentation broth. Background Technology
[0002] Fermentation broth typically refers to the liquid produced through the fermentation process of microorganisms in biotechnology or the food industry. This liquid contains various products generated during the growth and metabolism of microorganisms, such as enzymes, antibiotics, organic acids, alcohol, and carbon dioxide.
[0003] An automatic proportioning and mixing device for Bacillus subtilis fermentation broth is a device used for automatically proportioning and mixing Bacillus subtilis fermentation broth.
[0004] The existing automatic proportioning and mixing equipment for Bacillus subtilis fermentation broth has the following shortcomings:
[0005] In the field of Bacillus subtilis fermentation broth formulation and mixing, most existing technologies still rely on manual addition of the fermentation broth or related ingredients. This manual operation method has significant drawbacks. On the one hand, manual addition depends on the experience and skill of the operator. Different operators or the same operator at different times may produce differences in operation, resulting in inaccurate addition amounts. On the other hand, manual operation is easily affected by external environmental factors, personnel condition, and other factors, making it difficult to ensure the consistency of the addition amount each time and easily generating errors. These errors not only affect the final component ratio of the fermentation broth and reduce the stability of product quality, but may also affect the activity of Bacillus subtilis due to improper formulation, thereby affecting the fermentation effect and limiting the improvement of production efficiency.

Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0028] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic proportioning and mixing device for Bacillus subtilis fermentation broth, including a conveying mechanism 1, with a support mechanism 2 fixedly installed at the bottom of the conveying mechanism 1; the conveying mechanism 1 includes a movable plate 101, with a storage tank 103 fixedly installed on the top of each movable plate 101, and an outlet pipe 104 fixedly connected to the top of each storage tank 103, with an electromagnetic flow meter 109 fixedly installed on the outer wall of each outlet pipe 104, and a metering pump 110 fixedly installed on the outer wall of each storage tank 103, with a telescopic hose 111 fixedly connected to the output end of each metering pump 110; the support mechanism 2 includes a base 201, with an electric push rod 206 fixedly installed on the top of each base 201. Through the above components, the amount of fermentation broth output from the storage tank 103 can be accurately and controllably controlled, meeting the requirements of the automatic proportioning and mixing device for precise metering of raw materials.
[0029] like Figure 2As shown, the inner wall of the movable plate 101 has an opening 105, and the inner wall of the movable plate 101 has a round hole 106. Through the round hole 106, the movable plate 101 can slide back and forth normally on the limit rod 208.

Through the first transparent plate 102, users can easily check the remaining liquid in each storage tank 103 at any time so that it can be added in time.
[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the outer wall of the storage tank 103 is fixedly connected to the liquid inlet pipe 107, and the inner wall of the liquid inlet pipe 107 is movably fitted with a sealing cap 108. The sealing cap 108 can prevent foreign objects from entering the storage tank 103 through the liquid inlet pipe 107 when not in use.
[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, a limiting rod 208 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 201. The outer wall of the limiting rod 208 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the circular hole 106. By setting the limiting rod 208, the stability of the movable plate 101 during up and down movement can be improved.
[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the base 201 is fixedly connected to a support leg 207, and the bottom of the support leg 207 is fixedly connected to an anti-slip pad 202. By setting the support leg 207 and the anti-slip pad 202, the overall stability during use can be increased and displacement can be avoided during use.
[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, the shaft end of the electric push rod 206 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate 101. Through the electric push rod 206, the movable plate 101 and multiple storage tanks 103 can be moved up and down, so that the height of the storage tanks 103 and the movable plate 101 can be adjusted.
[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, a mixing tank 203 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 201. A set of second transparent plates 205 are fixedly connected to the front of the mixing tank 203. The mixing tank 203 is connected to the inside of the telescopic hose 111. Through the second transparent plates 205, the user can easily check the mixing situation inside the mixing tank 203 at any time.
[0036] like Figure 4As shown, a PLC controller 204 is fixedly installed on the front of the mixing tank 203, and a solenoid valve 213 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mixing tank 203. The PLC controller 204 is electrically connected to the components to control the opening and closing of multiple components.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, a rotating shaft 209 is movably inserted into the inner wall of the mixing tank 203. A stirring rod 210 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 209. A scraper 211 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the stirring rod 210. A servo motor 212 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the base 201 at the position of the stirring rod 210. The output end of the servo motor 212 is fixedly connected to one end of the stirring rod 210. The outer wall of the scraper 211 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mixing tank 203. Through the rotating shaft 209, the servo motor 212 and the stirring rod 210, the Bacillus subtilis fermentation broth and related liquid ingredients in the mixing tank 203 can be fully stirred and mixed. With the cooperation of the scraper 211, the inner wall of the mixing tank 203 can be scraped to avoid residual liquid.
[0038] The operating method and working principle of this device are as follows: Before mixing the fermentation broth, different types of Bacillus subtilis fermentation broth or related liquid ingredients are added to the corresponding storage tanks 103 through the inlet pipe 107. When mixing is required, the PLC controller 204 sends a command to the metering pump 110 according to the preset mixing parameters. The metering pump 110 starts working and draws the fermentation broth from the storage tank 103 through the outlet pipe 104. The electromagnetic flowmeter 109 on the outer wall of the outlet pipe 104 measures the flow rate of the fermentation broth in real time and feeds the data back to the PLC controller 204. The PLC controller 204 accurately controls the operation of the metering pump 110 based on the feedback data to ensure that the fermentation broth is delivered according to the set ratio. After being output by the metering pump 110, the fermentation broth is transported to the mixing tank 203 through the telescopic hose 111. The fermentation broth enters the mixing tank. After step 203, the servo motor 212 at the bottom of the base 201 starts, and its output drives the rotating shaft 209 to rotate. The stirring rod 210 is fixed on the rotating shaft 209 and is also driven by the force. As the stirring rod 210 rotates, the fermentation liquid in the mixing tank 203 is fully stirred and mixed. The scraper 211 on the outer wall of the stirring rod 210 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mixing tank 203. During the stirring process, the scraper 211 can scrape the inner wall of the mixing tank 203 to avoid liquid residue and ensure the uniformity of mixing. After the stirring is completed, the PLC controller 204 controls the solenoid valve 213 to open. The mixed liquid is discharged to the outside through the solenoid valve 213 and enters the subsequent production stage. The second transparent plate 205 on the front of the mixing tank 203 allows the user to check the stirring status at any time so as to adjust the stirring time or other parameters in a timely manner.
[0039] The PLC controller 204, servo motor 212, solenoid valve 213, electromagnetic flowmeter 109, metering pump 110, and electric actuator 206 used in this application are all common equipment on the market and are well known to those skilled in the art. In this application, the above equipment is used in a conventional manner without any improvement to its structure and function. Regarding their settings, installation, and electrical connection methods, those skilled in the art can debug and operate them according to the corresponding product instruction manuals, so they will not be described in detail here.
[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields.
