Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of microbial fermentation production equipment technology, and in particular to a seed bottle support for microbial fermentation production. Background Technology

[0002] Seed liquid for microbial fermentation production is stored in a refrigerator at low temperatures. In order to prevent cross-contamination, enterprises usually set up the preparation site of microbial seed liquid at a location far away from the production workshop. Therefore, seed liquid needs to be transported during use.

[0003] The seed liquid cannot be kept warm during transportation, which leads to excessively rapid temperature rise, affecting the activity of the seed liquid cells and making it easy to shake, increasing the risk of contamination.

[0004] Although the pipes on the seed bottle are sealed at the ends, they must still be sterilized for at least one hour before being connected to the fermenter to prevent contamination during the connection process. In existing technologies, the sterilization process cannot maintain the temperature of the seed bottle, thus accelerating the heating of the seed culture.

[0005] In addition, the seed bottle needs to be inverted during the seed liquid inoculation process. Due to the different heights of the production equipment, the operator usually needs to squat or hold the seed bottle upside down, which is cumbersome and prone to danger.

[0006] To solve the above problems, it is necessary to develop a seed bottle holder for microbial fermentation production. Utility Model Content

[0007] In view of this, this utility model proposes a seed bottle support for microbial fermentation production to solve the problems in the prior art where the temperature rises during seed liquid transportation, affecting cell activity, and requiring manual inversion of the seed bottle, which is highly dangerous.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0025] See Figure 1 The seed bottle support for microbial fermentation production in this utility model includes a support body and an insulation body 3.

[0026] The support body includes a first support rod 1 and a second support rod 11 arranged vertically in parallel. Both the first support rod 1 and the second support rod 11 are electrically adjustable lifting rods, and a first reinforcing rib 12 and a second reinforcing rib 13 are provided between the first support rod 1 and the second support rod 11. The second reinforcing rib 13 is located at the upper part and has a handle 131. The bottom of both the first support rod 1 and the second support rod 11 is provided with a bracket 14 to ensure that the seed bottle support can stand stably on the ground.

[0027] Two vertically parallel first sliding grooves 2 are provided between the first support rod 1 and the second support rod 11. Both first sliding grooves 2 are fixedly connected to rotating shafts 21. Both rotating shafts 21 are connected to rotating positioning blocks 22 (rotating positioning blocks 22 and rotating shafts 21 are rotatably connected through bearings to realize the free rotation of rotating shafts 21). Rotating positioning blocks 22 are fixedly connected to the first support rod 1 or the second support rod 11. One of the rotating shafts 21 is connected to a rotation drive structure. The rotation drive structure includes a second slide groove 23 fixed to the first support rod 1. A rack 24 is slidably connected up and down in the second slide groove 23. One end of the rack 24 is connected to a drive cylinder 25. The rack 24 is also meshed with a gear 26. The gear 26 is fixedly sleeved on the end of one of the rotating shafts 21. During use, the rack 24 slides up and down in the second slide groove 23 due to the action of the drive cylinder 25. As the rack 24 moves up and down, the drive gear 26 rotates (the drive gear 26 is fixedly sleeved on the end of the rotating shaft 21, and the rotating shaft 21 is positioned by the rotation positioning block 22. Therefore, the drive gear 26 can only rotate and will not move up and down with the rack 24). Since the gear 26 is fixedly sleeved on the end of the rotating shaft 21, the rotating shaft 21 rotates with the rotation of the gear 26.

[0028] The seed bottle is placed inside the insulation body 3. The insulation body 3 is slidably inserted into two first sliding grooves 2. The sliding insertion method is as follows: the insulation body 3 has slide rails 31 on both sides, and the slide rails 31 are slidably connected to the two first sliding grooves 2. A positioning pin 32 is set between the first sliding groove 2 and the slide rail 31. Through the positioning pin 32, the slide rail 31 and the first sliding groove 2 form an integral structure. Then, the insulation body 3 and the two first sliding grooves 2 also form an integral structure. When the rotating shaft 21 connected to the rotation drive structure rotates, the insulation body 3 and the other rotating shaft 21 rotate together, so that the insulation body 3 can rotate from the original upward direction to the downward direction.

[0029] In this invention, by limiting the stroke of the driving cylinder 25, the number of rotations of the gear 26 is limited, thereby limiting the number of rotations of the rotating shaft 21, and thus limiting the first slide groove 2 and the heat preservation body 3 to rotate exactly 180 degrees, with the seed bottle inside the heat preservation body 3 facing downwards.

[0030] The outer wall of the insulation body 3 is a double-layer hollow structure with an inlet and an outlet. Cold water or other refrigerant is introduced through the inlet to cool the seed bottle. The seed bottle is placed inside the insulation body 3. During transportation, this can prevent the seed liquid from heating up too quickly and ensure the activity of the seed liquid bacteria.

[0031] See Figure 2The insulation body 3 is provided with a positioning component for positioning the seed bottle; the positioning component includes eight vertically arranged slots 33 inside the insulation body 3, and insert rods 34 are movably inserted into the slots 33. The insert rods 34 are connected to the insulation body 3 by bolts and are positioned. Four positioning rods 35 are connected to the insert rods 34, and the four positioning rods 35 are combined to form a "well" structure. In this invention, a positioning rod 35 is connected between the first and fourth insertion rods 34, between the second and seventh insertion rods 34, between the third and sixth insertion rods 34, and between the fifth and eighth insertion rods 34. The four positioning rods 35 combine to form a "well" structure. The length 'a' of the middle square of the "well" structure is less than the diameter of the seed bottle. The middle square of the "well" structure fits onto the neck of the seed bottle, limiting the position of the seed bottle. When the seed bottle is facing upwards, it prevents the seed bottle from tilting or shaking. When the seed bottle is inverted, due to the restriction of the "well" structure, the seed bottle will not slip out of the insulation body 3.

[0032] As a preferred option, the inner wall and bottom of the insulation body 3 are equipped with springs; when the seed bottle shakes during transportation, the springs can reduce the shaking amplitude of the seed bottle and reduce the risk of contamination.

[0033] As a preferred embodiment, both the first support rod 1 and the second support rod 11 are provided with counterweight slots 15, and each counterweight slot 15 can hold several counterweights. When the seed bottle is placed in the insulation body 3, and the insulation body 3 is connected to the two first sliding grooves 2, the center of gravity shifts to one side of the insulation body 3 relative to the entire seed bottle support. To ensure that the seed bottle support can stand stably on the ground, both the first support rod 1 and the second support rod 11 are provided with counterweight slots 15, and the center of gravity is balanced by the action of the counterweights. For example, if the insulation body 3 is on the left side of the first support rod 1 and the second support rod 11, then the two counterweight slots 15 are set on the right side of the first support rod 1 and the second support rod 11. Furthermore, different numbers of counterweights are placed according to the weight of the seed bottle, so that the combined weight of the counterweights can be exactly balanced with the weight of the seed bottle.

[0034] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0035] Before transportation, the seed bottles are placed in the insulation body 3. During transportation, the seed bottles and the insulation body 3 are transported as a whole, and the insulation body 3 prevents the seed bottles from heating up.

[0036] Except for the insulation body 3, all other structures of the seed bottle support are placed in the production workshop. After the seed bottle and the insulation body 3 are transported to the production workshop, the insulation body 3 is inserted into the two first slide grooves 2 and connected by the positioning pins 32, so that the seed bottle, the insulation body 3 and the first slide grooves 2 form an integral structure.

[0037] During the sterilization of the seed bottle tubing, the insulation 3 prevents the seed bottle from heating up;

[0038] When the seed bottle needs to be inverted during the inoculation process, the seed bottle, the insulation body 3 and the first slide 2 can be rotated 180 degrees by the action of the driving cylinder 25, so that the seed bottle can be inverted.

[0039] During the inversion of the seed bottle, since the insertion rod 34 is connected to the insulation body 3 by bolts, and the length a of the middle square of the "well" structure is less than the diameter of the seed bottle, the seed bottle will be restricted by the middle square of the "well" structure when inverted and will not slip out of the insulation body 3.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
