[0035] Example

[0036] Reference Figure 1-5 A probiotic feed additive fermentation device includes a fermentation tank 1, a mixer 2, and a heating control box 6. The fermentation tank 1 is uniformly provided with two mixers 2, which are positioned in a mirror image with respect to the fermentation tank 1, so as to mix and stir the probiotic feed additive inside the fermentation tank 1 in different directions through the two mixers 2. The fermentation tank 1 is provided with a heating structure and a cooling structure to control the fermentation temperature of the fermentation tank 1.

[0037] Specifically, a temperature sensor and a pH detector are installed inside the fermenter 1;

[0038] The temperature sensor used is a PT100 platinum resistance temperature sensor to monitor the fermentation temperature inside fermenter 1 in real time.

[0039] The pH detector uses the PH5806 series high-temperature fermentation pH electrode to monitor the pH value of the fermentation broth in real time, and the intelligent control system adjusts it according to the set pH range.

[0040] Specifically, a feeding bin 3, an air inlet pipe 4, and an air outlet pipe 5 are provided above the fermentation tank 1. The feeding bin 3, the air inlet pipe 4, and the air outlet pipe 5 are all connected to the inside of the fermentation tank 1 so that the required probiotic feed additives can be added into the fermentation tank 1 through the feeding bin 3.

[0041] Specifically, the feeding bin 3 is equipped with a sealing cover 31 so that the feeding bin 3 can be sealed by the sealing cover 31 when the probiotic feed additive is fermented inside the fermentation tank 1.

[0042] Specifically, a discharge port 9 is provided at the bottom of the fermentation tank 1, and a discharge valve 10 is fixedly installed at the discharge port 9 of the fermentation tank 1 so as to control the discharge of materials inside the fermentation tank 1 through the discharge valve 10.

[0043] The discharge valve 10 can be a manual valve or a solenoid valve;

[0044] Specifically, the mixer 2 includes a motor 21, a conductive slip ring 22 and a stirring shaft. The output end of the motor 21 is fixedly connected to one end of the stirring shaft so that the stirring shaft can be driven to rotate in both directions inside the fermenter 1 by the motor 21.

[0045] Specifically, the motor 21 is fixedly installed outside the fermentation tank 1, the output end of the motor 21 rotates and extends into the fermentation tank 1, the stirring shaft is rotated and installed inside the fermentation tank 1, and the output end of the motor 21 and the fermentation tank 1 are sealed.

[0046] Specifically, an auxiliary electric heating wire 27 is wound inside the stirring shaft. With the auxiliary electric heating wire 27, the probiotic feed additive inside the fermentation tank 1 can be heated from the inside out during the rotation of the stirring shaft. The auxiliary electric heating wire 27 is electrically connected to the rotor wire harness 26 of the conductive slip ring 22. The stator wire harness 25 of the conductive slip ring 22 passes through the inside of the fermentation tank 1 and is electrically connected to the heating control system inside the heating control box 6. With the conductive slip ring 22, the auxiliary electric heating wire 27 can be kept working normally while the wire harness is prevented from getting tangled.

[0047] Specifically, the conductive slip ring 22 is coaxially sleeved and fixed at the output end of the motor 21, and the stator of the conductive slip ring 22 is fixedly connected to the motor 21 in order to ensure the stability of the conductive slip ring 22 and prevent the stator of the conductive slip ring 22 from rotating.

[0048] Specifically, the heating structure is electrically connected to the heating control system inside the heating control box 6;

[0049] Specifically, the heating control box 6 is fixedly installed on the outside of the fermentation tank 1 so that the operator can carry out the corresponding maintenance later;

[0050] Specifically, the temperature sensor, pH detector, and heating control system are electrically connected to the intelligent control system inside the electrical control box 8;

[0051] The intelligent control system employs a PLC controller, enabling automated control of the fermentation apparatus. By setting parameters such as fermentation temperature, pH value, and stirring speed in the PLC controller, the intelligent control system can monitor and adjust various parameters in real time during the fermentation process, ensuring that the probiotics ferment in the optimal environment. Simultaneously, the intelligent control system also features data logging and alarm functions, recording various data during the fermentation process and promptly issuing alarm signals in case of abnormalities.

[0052] Specifically, an annular cavity 13 is coaxially formed on the body of the fermenter 1. The heating structure and the cooling structure are both fixedly installed in the annular cavity 13. The annular cavity 13 prevents the heating structure and the cooling structure from directly contacting the probiotic feed additives inside the fermenter 1.

[0053] Specifically, the heating structure is an electric heating wire 14, which is evenly wound in the annular cavity 13. The electric heating wire 14 is electrically connected to the heating control system inside the heating control box 6. Through the setting of the electric heating wire 14, the probiotic feed additive inside the fermentation tank 1 can be heated from the outside to the inside, thereby cooperating with the auxiliary electric heating wire 27 to evenly and quickly heat the probiotic feed additive inside the fermentation tank 1.

[0054] Specifically, the cooling structure includes a coolant container 7 and a cooling pipe 15. A circulation pump is fixedly installed inside the coolant container 7. The coolant container 7 is filled with coolant (refrigerant or water). The cooling pipe 15 is evenly wound in the annular cavity 13. One end of the cooling pipe 15 is fixedly connected to the output end of the circulation pump, and the other end of the cooling pipe 15 is connected to the inside of the coolant container 7. The circulation pump is electrically connected to the energy control system.

[0055] With the arrangement of the coolant container 7, the circulating pump and the cooling pipe 15, the coolant can be circulated between the coolant container 7 and the cooling pipe 15 under the drive of the circulating pump, so as to exchange heat with the fermenter 1 during the flow process and achieve the cooling effect of the fermenter 1.

[0056] Specifically, a base 12 is fixedly installed on the fermenter 1 to support the fermenter 1 and ensure its stability. The coolant container 7 and the electrical control box 8 are both fixedly installed on the base 12.

[0057] Specifically, air filters 11 are installed on the feeding hopper 3 and the air inlet pipe 4. The air filters 11 use high-efficiency filter materials, which can effectively filter bacteria and impurities in the air and prevent bacteria from the external environment from contaminating the fermentation liquid.

[0058] Specifically, the stirring shaft includes a turbine 23 and a toothed shaft 24, which are coaxially and fixedly connected. The other end of the turbine 23 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 21. Both the turbine 23 and the toothed shaft 24 are rotatably installed inside the fermentation tank 1. Under the rotation of the turbine 23, the probiotic feed additive inside the fermentation tank 1 can generate a vortex, and the rotation of the toothed shaft 24 can cut the probiotic feed additive, so that it is fully mixed.

[0059] In this embodiment, when in use, the sealing cover 31 on the feeding hopper 3 is opened, and the required probiotic feed additive is fermented inside the fermentation tank 1. Then, the feeding hopper 3 is sealed again by the sealing cover 31. Then, the probiotic feed additive inside the fermentation tank 1 is heated evenly and quickly by the electric heating wire 14 in conjunction with the auxiliary electric heating wire 27. At the same time, during the heating process, the two stirring shafts are rotated to stir and mix the probiotic feed additive.

[0060] Specifically, one of the stirring shafts can be rotated clockwise, and the other stirring shaft can be rotated counterclockwise;

[0061] Both stirring shafts can be rotated instantaneously clockwise or counterclockwise;

[0062] The rotation of the two stirring shafts thoroughly agitates the probiotic feed additives inside the fermentation tank 1, improving the fermentation quality. Once the probiotic feed additives have fermented, they can be discharged into a designated container through the discharge valve 10.

[0063] Any technical solution that achieves the above-mentioned technical effects by utilizing the technical solution described in this utility model, or by designing a similar technical solution inspired by the technical solution described in this utility model, falls within the protection scope of this utility model.
