Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of fermenters, and in particular to a fermenter adjustment structure. Background Technology
[0002] A bioreactor is a biological reaction device that completes the fermentation process through solid culture and deep immersion culture. It provides a suitable reaction environment for living cells or enzymes, which can promote their cell proliferation or production. It can also provide a suitable environment for the growth and reproduction of bacteria, promoting the production of beneficial products for humans.
[0003] In some biological fermentation processes, different types of fermentation auxiliary materials (acid and alkali solutions, yeast, etc.) or gases are added to the fermentation tank, and then stirred and mixed by a stirring structure to improve the efficiency of biological fermentation and enable biological fermentation to proceed fully and quickly.
[0004] However, the existing fermentation tank has a fixed stirring structure, and the gap between adjacent stirring rods is large during the stirring process. As a result, some fermentation raw materials and auxiliary materials at the gap cannot be fully mixed, which affects the integrity and efficiency of biological fermentation. In addition, foam may be produced and accumulate on the top of the fermented material during some fermentation processes. Over time, the foam will affect ventilation or overflow and cause pollution, which will affect the fermentation process of the fermented material.
[0005] Therefore, we propose a fermenter regulation structure to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a fermenter adjustment structure.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] A fermenter regulating structure includes a tank body and a tank cover. The tank cover is used to close the tank body. A support leg is connected to the lower end face of the tank body. A rotating rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the tank cover. A set of stirring rods is rotatably connected to the side wall of the rotating rod. An extension rod is connected to the side of the set of stirring rods away from the rotating rod. A connecting block is sleeved on the outer side of the upper end of the rotating rod. A set of blades for breaking foam is provided on the outer side of the connecting block.
[0009] Preferably, an observation port for observing the interior is provided on the side wall of the tank, and a transparent glass plate is installed inside the observation port.
[0010] Preferably, a drive motor is installed on the upper surface of the can lid, the upper end of the rotating rod extends to the upper side of the can lid, and the power output end of the drive motor is connected to the rotating rod.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] In use, this invention features a stirring rod with adjustable vertical swing position, which changes the direction of the stirring rod's extension and extends its length. This expands the stirring range to the middle of the previously unstirred upper and lower stirring rods, ensuring thorough mixing of the fermenting material and auxiliary materials and guaranteeing fermentation efficiency. Furthermore, the rotating blades break up any foam that may form on the surface of the fermenting material, preventing excessive accumulation and ensuring overall aeration efficiency, thus facilitating smooth fermentation.

[0026] Reference Figure 1-24. A fermenter regulating structure includes a tank body 1 and a tank cover 2. A gas supply pipe is connected to the upper end of the tank body 1 to supplement the internal tank with auxiliary fermentation gas. The tank cover 2 is used to close the tank body 1. Support legs are connected to the lower end face of the tank body 1, covered with a friction layer to increase friction and ensure the stability of the device. An observation port 101 is provided on the side wall of the tank body 1 for observing the interior. A transparent glass plate is installed inside the observation port 101 to facilitate monitoring of the internal environment and timely judgment of the internal situation by the staff. A rotating rod 3 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the tank cover 2. A drive motor 301 is installed on the upper end face of the tank cover 2. The upper end of the rotating rod 3 extends to the upper side of the tank cover 2, and the power output end of the drive motor 301 is connected to the rotating rod 3. A set of stirring rods 4 are rotatably connected to the side wall of the rotating rod 3. The operation of the drive motor 301 drives the rotating rod 3 to rotate, thereby driving the stirring rods 4 to stir and mix the fermentation material and auxiliary materials. A set of fan-shaped grooves 401 are provided on the side wall of the rotating rod 3 for stirring. One end of the rod 4 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fan-shaped groove 401. An elastic blade 402 is connected between the stirring rod 4 and the inner walls of the upper and lower sides of the fan-shaped groove 401. Since the stirring rod 4 is designed to rotate, and through the elastic action of the elastic blade 402, the stirring rod 4 can move up and down during rotation, thereby stirring the position between the upper and lower stirring rods 4, thus fully improving the stirring efficiency. An extension rod 5 is connected to the side of the stirring rod 4 away from the rotating rod 3. A slot 501 is opened on the side wall of the end of the extension rod 5 near the stirring rod 4. An insertion rod 502 is connected to the side wall of the stirring rod 4 corresponding to the position of the slot 501. The insertion rod 502 extends into the slot 501, and a return spring 503 is connected between the two. Under the elastic force of the return spring 503, the extension length of the extension rod 5 can be changed according to the extension angle of the stirring rod 4. When the stirring rod 4 extends to the position between the upper and lower stirring rods 4, the length of the stirring rod 4 is extended to expand the stirring range.
[0027] Reference Figure 3-4A connecting block 6 is sleeved on the outer side of the upper end of the rotating rod 3. A slot is opened on the side wall of the rotating rod 3, and the connecting block 6 is placed in the slot. A protective sleeve is provided on the outside of the slot. The protective sleeve is a corrugated flexible tube used to block and protect the area outside the connecting block. A set of guide grooves 601 is opened on the inner wall of the slot. A guide block 602 is connected to the inner wall of the connecting block 6, and the guide block 602 extends into the guide groove 601 for limiting and matching. The two adjacent side wall surfaces are covered with a smooth layer to control the rotation angle of the connecting block 6. The connecting block 6 is designed with an arc shape at its lower end. A set of blades 7 for breaking foam is provided on the outer side of the connecting block 6. Limiting discs 701 are connected to the side walls at both ends of the connecting block 6. One end of the blade 7 extends into the limiting disc 701 to cooperate with it. An annular groove is provided in the limiting disc 701. The inner end of the blade 7 is connected to a limiting rod that extends into the annular groove. During the rotation of the connecting block 6, the blade 7 can rotate irregularly, thereby breaking the foam more effectively.
