Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of yeast culture production technology, specifically to an automatic feeding device for yeast cultures. Background Technology

[0002] Fermentation is an essential process in the production of yeast cultures. Yeast cultures are not simply live yeast cells, but rather complex products resulting from the fermentation and proliferation of yeast on a specific culture medium. These products contain yeast cell metabolites (such as enzymes, vitamins, amino acids, nucleotides, and peptides), residual culture medium, and the yeast cell wall. Their function is closely related to the regulation of the fermentation process.

[0003] A related technology (publication number: CN210445115U) discloses a medium uniform distribution device with a leveling function. The disclosed technical solution involves vibrating the medium with a vibrating motor. During this process, the medium passes through a scraper plate. The plow-shaped scraper on the bottom of the scraper plate scrapes away any excessively high piles of medium, preventing uneven medium density after subsequent leveling roller compaction. This ensures that localized overheating does not occur during bacterial growth. This invention not only has a simple structure but also ensures uniform distribution of the medium, meeting the growth requirements of the bacterial strain.

[0004] The above-disclosed technical solutions reveal the following problems: During the fermentation process of yeast culture, raw materials need to be placed in the fermentation dish. The placement of the raw materials needs to be arranged appropriately according to the needs of the yeast culture. Therefore, the placement and quantity of raw materials vary. In response, we propose an automatic feeding device for yeast culture.

[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background section of this application, and therefore may include prior art information that does not constitute prior art information known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0006] This utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies. To address the problem of yeast culture feeding in the prior art, this utility model provides an automatic yeast culture feeding device that combines a feeding position adjustment structure with two sets of raw material feeding structures to ensure the quality of the yeast culture. The specific technical solution is as follows: An automatic feeding device for yeast culture includes a circumferential feeding seat, a connecting frame that is rotatably connected to the outside of the circumferential feeding seat and snapped onto the top of the culture dish, and a rotary drive component that drives the circumferential feeding seat to rotate on the connecting frame, a transverse base fixed to the top of the circumferential feeding seat, a feeding bin slidably disposed on the transverse base, a partition plate that is rotatably disposed on the inner wall of the feeding bin, and a dual-material switching component that controls the opening and closing of the feeding channels on both sides of the partition plate on the outer wall of the feeding bin.

[0007] In the above technical solution, the dual-material switching component includes a cylinder rotatably disposed on the outer wall of the feeding hopper, the movable end of the cylinder being rotatably connected to a transmission frame, the partition plate being rotatably connected to the inner wall of the feeding hopper via a rotating shaft, and one of the rotating shafts extending out of the feeding hopper, and the end of the transmission frame away from the cylinder being sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft located outside the feeding hopper.

[0008] The transverse base frame is equipped with a feeding component for adjusting the material distribution position of the feeding bin.

[0009] The feeding component includes a lead screw rotatably mounted on the transverse base frame, and the outer wall of the lead screw is threadedly connected to a connecting frame sleeved on the outer wall of the discharge hopper.

[0010] The transverse base frame is provided with a guide rod parallel to the lead screw, and the docking frame is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod.

[0011] The outer wall of the docking frame is rotatably equipped with pulley sets that fit against the upper and lower sides of the transverse base frame.

[0012] A support is fixed to the bottom of the outer wall of the feeding hopper, and a control baffle that is slidably mounted on the support and fits against the bottom of the feeding hopper is also mounted on the support.

[0013] The side wall of the control baffle is fixedly connected to a positioning outer plate. The bottom of the positioning outer plate is slidably provided with a plate frame fixed to the outer wall of the feeding hopper. The positioning outer plate is provided with a positioning groove, and the top of the plate frame is threadedly connected with a locking member that passes through the positioning groove.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] The following are specific implementation cases and appendices. Figure 1-6The present invention will be further described below, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0020] An automatic feeding device for yeast culture includes a circumferential feeding seat 1, a connecting frame 4 that is snapped onto the top of a culture dish, and a rotary drive component that drives the circumferential feeding seat 1 to rotate.

[0021] A ring-shaped circumferential feeding seat 1 discharges material through a central cavity. A ring-shaped connecting frame 4 rotates against the outer wall of the circumferential feeding seat 1. Support seats are evenly fixedly installed circumferentially at the bottom of the connecting frame 4. Each support seat is threaded with a threaded rod facing the center of the connecting frame 4. A snap-fit ​​seat is fixedly installed at the end of each threaded rod facing the center of the connecting frame 4. After the connecting frame 4 is fitted onto the outside of the culture dish, each threaded rod is screwed in sequence, causing the threaded rod to drive the circular snap-fit ​​seat to snap onto the outer wall of the culture dish. Then, a rotational drive component drives the circumferential feeding seat 1 to rotate continuously circumferentially. At this time, the solenoid valve of the feeding hopper 1 is opened, allowing the internal raw materials to fall sequentially into the culture dish.

[0022] A transverse base frame 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the feed seat 1. A feed bin 3 is slidably mounted on the transverse base frame 2. The feed bin 3 moves laterally on the transverse base frame 2. According to the cultivation position of the raw materials, the feed bin 3 is adjusted to the corresponding position on the transverse base frame 2. The feeding position and feeding amount of the feed bin 3 are adjusted according to the feeding position of different raw materials, so as to cope with the fermentation treatment of different types of yeast cultures.

[0023] The inner wall of the feeding bin 3 is rotatably equipped with a partition plate 5, and the outer wall of the feeding bin 3 is equipped with a dual-material switching component for controlling the opening and closing of the feeding channels on both sides of the partition plate 5. The partition plate 5 is attached to the inner wall of the feeding bin 3 and rotates left and right.

[0024] The material feeding bin 3 is divided into two storage spaces by the partition plate 5. The two raw materials can be fed separately or simultaneously by swinging the partition plate 5 left and right. After the solenoid valve on the feeding bin 3 is closed, the two raw materials are loaded into the two sides of the partition plate 5 respectively. The feeding of the two raw materials is arranged according to the feeding sequence and the position of the material, so that the two raw materials can be arranged at one time, which improves the efficiency of the material laying process.

[0025] The dual-material switching component includes a cylinder 15 rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the feeding hopper 3. The movable end of the cylinder 15 is rotatably connected to a transmission frame 16. The partition plate 5 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the feeding hopper 3 via a rotating shaft 17, one of which extends out of the feeding hopper 3. The end of the transmission frame 16 away from the cylinder 15 is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 17 located outside the feeding hopper 3. The two sides of the partition plate 5 rotate on the inner wall of the feeding hopper 3 via two rotating shafts 17, one of which penetrates the side wall of the feeding hopper 3 and extends to the outside. One end of the transmission frame 16 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 17 located outside the feeding hopper 3 through an opening in the mounting hole, so that the transmission frame 16 drives the partition plate 5 to rotate via the rotating shaft 17.

[0026] The cylinder barrel end of cylinder 15 is movably sleeved on the outside of the shaft body through the mounting hole of the connector. The shaft body is mounted on the outer wall of the feeding bin 3 through the frame, so that the cylinder barrel end of cylinder 15 is hinged to the feeding bin 3. The movable end of cylinder 15 and one end of transmission frame 16 are simultaneously movably sleeved on the outside of the same connecting shaft, so that the movable end of cylinder 15 is hinged to transmission frame 16.

[0027] After the movable end of the cylinder 15 is stretched and moved, the movable end of the cylinder 15 drives one end of the hinged transmission frame 16 to move, so that the other end of the transmission frame 16 drives the partition plate 5 to rotate through the corresponding rotating shaft 17, thereby controlling the material to be fed into the two spaces separately or independently.

[0028] It is worth noting that the transverse frame 2 is equipped with a feeding component for adjusting the material distribution position of the feeding bin 3. By adjusting the position of the feeding bin 3 on the transverse frame 2 according to the different raw material arrangements, the quality of the cultivation and fermentation process is ensured.

[0029] In addition, the feeding component includes a lead screw 13 rotatably mounted on the transverse base frame 2, and a connecting frame 6 sleeved on the outer wall of the lead screw 13 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the feeding bin 3. The lead screw 13 rotates near the inner side of the transverse base frame 2, and the motor is fixed on the outer wall of the transverse base frame 2 by a frame. The output shaft of the motor passes through the side wall of the transverse base frame 2 and is fixedly connected to the corresponding end of the lead screw 13. The connecting frame 6 is fixedly sleeved on the waist outer wall of the feeding bin 3 by the inner wall of the frame, and a threaded through hole is opened on the connecting frame 6 to connect with the lead screw 13.

[0030] After the motor is connected to the power supply through the wire, the output shaft of the motor drives the lead screw 13 to rotate, which causes the docking frame 6, which is threadedly connected to the lead screw 13, to move the feeding bin 3.

[0031] In addition, a guide rod 14 parallel to the lead screw 13 is provided on the transverse base frame 2. The docking frame 6 is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 14. The two ends of the guide rod 14 are fixed to the inner walls of both sides of the transverse base frame 2. The docking frame 6 slides against the outer wall of the guide rod 14 through the through holes.

[0032] During the process of rotating the lead screw 13 and driving the feeding bin 3 to move through the docking frame 6, the docking frame 6 simultaneously slides against the outer wall of the guide rod 14. The guide rod 14, which is parallel to the lead screw 13, ensures the stability of the docking frame 6 during its movement.

[0033] Furthermore, the outer wall of the docking frame 6 is rotatably equipped with pulley sets 7 that fit against the upper and lower sides of the transverse base frame 2. Four sets of symmetrical pulleys are installed on the outer wall of the docking frame 6 via wheel frames, with two pulleys on each pulley set 7 sliding against the two sides of the transverse frame of the docking frame 6. The four sets of pulley sets 7 ensure the stability of the docking frame 6 during its sliding process on the transverse base frame 2.

[0034] A bracket 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the feeding hopper 3, and a control baffle 9 is slidably mounted on the bracket 21, conforming to the bottom of the feeding hopper 3. A solenoid valve is installed at the bottom inlet of the feeding hopper 3, controlling the opening and closing of the feeding hopper 3. Two brackets 21 are fixed to both sides of the bottom inlet of the feeding hopper 3, and guide blocks 22 are installed on each bracket 21. A guide groove 23 is provided at the bottom of the control baffle 9, which slides in conjunction with the guide block 22, allowing the control baffle 9 to slide against the outside of the guide block 22, ensuring that the control baffle 9 slides against the bottom inlet of the feeding hopper 3. By sliding the position of the control baffle 9, the size of the discharge outlet of the feeding hopper 3 is adjusted, thereby controlling the discharge volume.

[0035] A positioning outer plate 18 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the measuring baffle 9. A cover plate frame 8, which is fixedly attached to the outer wall of the feeding bin 3, is slidably mounted on the bottom of the positioning outer plate 18. A positioning groove 19 is provided on the positioning outer plate 18, and a locking member 20, which passes through the positioning groove 19, is threadedly connected to the top of the cover plate frame 8. The positioning outer plate 18 is fixedly installed on the transverse surface of the measuring baffle 9, and the cover plate frame 8 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the feeding bin 3. A sliding channel that cooperates with the positioning outer plate 18 is formed on the cover plate frame 8. The distance between the cover plate frame 8 and the feeding bin 3 corresponds to the width of the measuring baffle 9, so that the space between the cover plate frame 8 and the feeding bin 3 forms sufficient movement space for the measuring baffle 9.

[0036] The locking element 20 can be a bolt. By passing through the locking element 20 in the positioning groove 19, the position of the positioning outer plate 18 is locked, thereby locking the size of the bottom material opening of the feeding bin 3.

[0037] The rotary drive component includes a gear ring sleeved on the outer wall of the circumferential feed seat 1, which is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the feed seat 1. The motor is fixed on the outer wall of the connecting frame 4 by a frame, and the drive gear is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the motor output shaft through a central mounting hole. The position of the motor ensures that the drive gear meshes with the gear ring.

[0038] After the motor is connected to the power supply via wires, the drive gear drives the gear ring to rotate. The gear ring, through the circumferential feeding seat 1, drives the feeding bin 3 to rotate circumferentially above the culture dish, causing the culture raw materials to fall into the culture dish sequentially. A series of movable grooves are sequentially formed on the outer circumferential wall of the circumferential feeding seat 1, and a series of sliding grooves are formed on the inner circumferential wall of the connecting frame 4. Ball bearings are movably embedded in the movable cavities formed by each movable groove and sliding groove. The ball bearings located between the circumferential feeding seat 1 and the connecting frame 4 ensure the stability of the circumferential feeding process of the feeding bin 3.
