[0002] In modern bio-fermentation industries, such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and bioengineering, precise control of the fermentation process is crucial for product quality and production efficiency. Among these processes, the dosing operation, as a key step, directly affects microbial growth and metabolism, as well as the synthesis of target products.

[0038] The circuits, electronic components, and module mechanisms involved all employ existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need no further explanation. The content protected by this application does not involve any improvement to the software, circuits, or methods.
[0039] Working principle:
[0040] Feed and solution mixing
[0041] Feeding operation: Feeding is carried out through the feed pipes on the storage tank 2 and the tank body 1 respectively. Multiple feed pipes on the storage tank 2 transport different solutions to different storage spaces separated by the partition 21. The feed pipe on the tank body 1 sends the materials required for fermentation into the tank body 1. During the feeding process, the valve on the feed pipe on the tank body 1 can control the opening and closing of the feeding of the tank body 1.
[0042] Solution stirring: When the power is turned on and the drive motor 3 is started, its output shaft drives the rotating shaft 31 to rotate. Since the rotating shaft 31 is fixedly installed with a toothed disc 42, and the transmission gears 41 at the top of the multiple stirring shafts 4 are all meshed with the toothed disc 42, the rotation of the rotating shaft 31 will drive the multiple stirring shafts 4 to rotate synchronously. The multiple stirring rods 401 on each stirring shaft 4 will rotate accordingly, stirring the solutions in different storage spaces in the storage tank 2 to ensure that the solutions are mixed evenly.
[0043] Fermentation and material mixing
[0044] Material stirring: The rotating shaft 31 is axially fixedly connected to the hollow shaft 5, so when the rotating shaft 31 rotates, it will drive the hollow shaft 5 to rotate. Since the multiple stirring rods 501 set on the hollow shaft 5 can stir the material in the tank 1, the material is fully mixed, creating good conditions for the fermentation process.
[0045] Tank cleaning and auxiliary stirring: When the hollow shaft 5 rotates, the scraper 51 on the bottom connecting block on its outer side will clean the bottom inner wall of the tank 1 to prevent the material from accumulating at the bottom; the spiral scraper 52 connected to the support rod on the hollow shaft 5 will clean the inner wall of the tank 1, and at the same time, the auxiliary stirring rod 501 will stir the material to further improve the uniformity of material mixing.
[0046] Air or fluid transport: Start the transport pump 61 to transport air or fluid to the cylindrical shell 6 through the connecting pipe. Since the cylindrical shell 6 and the hollow shaft 5 are sealed and rotated and connected, the air or fluid enters the tank 1 through multiple through holes on the hollow shaft 5 to meet the air or fluid requirements during the fermentation process.
[0047] Dosing procedure
[0048] According to the requirements of the fermentation process, by controlling the opening and closing of multiple metering valves 202, the solutions in different storage spaces in the storage tank 2 will be accurately delivered to the tank body 1 through the corresponding delivery pipes 201, so as to achieve precise dosing.
[0049] Discharge operation
[0050] Assisted discharge: When the hollow shaft 5 rotates, the spiral blades 53 on its bottom fixed shaft will rotate as well. During discharge, the spiral blades 53 can assist the material to move towards the discharge pipe 11 to achieve assisted discharge operation. When the hollow shaft 5 rotates in the opposite direction, it can perform a stirring operation on the material accumulated at the position of the discharge pipe 11.
[0051] Discharge direction adjustment: Start the servo motor 111, and the drive gear 112 on its output shaft drives the driven gear 113 on the discharge pipe 11 to rotate, thereby adjusting the discharge direction of the discharge pipe 11 to meet different discharge requirements. The valve on the discharge pipe 11 can control the opening and closing of the discharge.
[0052] Depressurization operation
[0053] During the fermentation process of the material in tank 1, excess gas will be generated. When the pressure inside tank 1 reaches a certain value, the pressure relief valve on the pressure relief pipe 12 will automatically open to discharge the excess gas from tank 1, ensuring the pressure inside tank 1 is stable and the fermentation process is carried out safely.
