Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of solid-state fermentation cleaning equipment, specifically relating to a cleaning machine for processing waste residue from solid-state fermentation Erlenmeyer flasks. Background Technology

[0002] After years of development, the fermentation industry has expanded its products from initial food brewing to pharmaceuticals, agriculture, energy, and other sectors. Solid-state fermentation technology uses solid substrates and byproducts such as rice bran, wheat bran, soybean residue, and soybean meal as culture media to cultivate microbial strains. Compared to liquid fermentation, solid-state fermentation has advantages such as shorter production cycles, less environmental pollution, and lower production costs. In particular, the production process virtually eliminates the risk of tank transfer, which has led to significant attention in recent years.

[0003] The microbial cultivation stage in the fermentation process is crucial for its success. However, solid-state fermentation differs from liquid-state fermentation, characterized by a large amount of solid substrate, high viscosity, and high infectivity of exposed microorganisms. A one-ton scale solid-state fermentation production requires approximately 150 1000ml Erlenmeyer flasks during the cultivation stage, and these flasks often retain significant amounts of solid substrate residue, making manual cleaning time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore, the relatively confidential nature of fermentation work leads to high labor costs for technicians, and cleaning further wastes their time and energy. Most existing laboratory cleaning machines use water flow and lack brushes, making it difficult to continuously scrub, collect, and remove the residue adhering to the walls of the Erlenmeyer flasks used in solid-state fermentation.

[0004] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0017] See attached document Figure 1-3 A cleaning machine for processing waste residue from solid-state fermentation Erlenmeyer flasks includes: a brushing conveyor track 2, a brushing platform 3, a brushing support frame 10, a rinsing platform 7, and a waste liquid tank 15. The washing platform 3 is equipped with a washing conveyor track 2 for conveying the triangular bottle 1, which can convey the triangular bottle 1 to the bottom of the washing support frame 10. A scrubbing support frame 10 stands on one side of the scrubbing platform 3, and an electric telescopic rod 11 is provided on it. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 11 is provided with a brush body drive motor 12, and the output end of the brush body drive motor 12 is connected to a brush body 13. Driven by the electric telescopic rod 11, the brush body 13 can be vertically inserted into the interior of the triangular bottle 1 through the top opening. When the brush body drive motor 12 is started, it can drive the brush body 13 to rotate inside the triangular bottle 1 to scrub the solid fermentation waste residue attached to the inner wall of the triangular bottle 1. The rinsing platform 7 is located on the side of the scrubbing platform 3 away from the scrubbing support frame 10. It is equipped with a swing arm drive motor 6 and a waste residue tank 14. The swing arm drive motor 6 can drive the swing arm 5 to swing. The end of the swing arm 5 is equipped with an electric gripper 4 for clamping the triangular bottle 1. The limiting components on both sides of the electric gripper 4 adopt an arc-shaped structure to match the circular exterior of the triangular bottle 1, which can improve the stability when clamping the triangular bottle 1 from both sides and reduce shaking during the cleaning process. The side of the limiting component that contacts the triangular bottle 1 is also provided with a rubber layer, which can play a role in anti-slip. Multiple nozzles 8 are installed above the waste residue tank 14. The nozzles 8 are connected to the water pump 9 through the water spray pipe, which can spray high pressure water into the inside of the triangular flask 1, which helps to wash away the solid fermentation waste residue. The solid fermentation waste residue washed off will flow out from the mouth of the triangular flask 1 with the water flow and then enter the waste residue tank 14. The high pressure water spray radius of the nozzles 8 is smaller than the diameter of the mouth of the triangular flask 1, which prevents the water flow from washing away the outside of the triangular flask 1 and avoids wasting water.

[0018] Waste liquid tank 15 is located below the rinsing platform 7, and its top is connected to the discharge end of waste residue tank 14 for collecting rinsing waste liquid. Waste residue tank 14 has a certain slope, and its discharge end is equipped with a filter screen for collecting waste residue. The cleaned waste residue and waste liquid are separated by the filter screen, and the waste liquid flows into waste liquid tank 15.

[0019] In this embodiment, the brush body 13 has soft bristles, and its widest point is greater than the radius of the bottom of the triangular flask 1. This allows for comprehensive cleaning of the interior of the triangular flask 1, preventing the residue of solid fermentation waste. The soft bristles are made of fiber or animal hair, and their length is greater than the radius of the triangular flask 1. This effectively cushions the impact on the interior of the triangular flask 1, and the soft bristles can deform and bend to better conform to the inner wall of the triangular flask 1, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0020] It should be noted that the top of the brush body 13 is movably connected to the output end of the brush body drive motor 12, and the connection has room for movement, allowing the brush head of the brush body 13 to swing slightly and brush the bottle back and forth at a 20-degree angle, which is highly efficient at cleaning solid residues adhering to the bottle wall. After brushing the bottle wall, the bottom of the triangular bottle 1 is then brushed using a 360-degree rotating circular motion.

[0021] In addition, the brush conveyor track 2, electric telescopic rod 11, brush body drive motor 12 and swing arm drive motor 6 can be connected to the PLC control system to realize automated control, or multiple independent switches can be set to control each electric component separately for manual control by the operator.

[0022] In actual use, first place the triangular bottle 1 on the washing platform 3 and add washing water to the washing conveyor track 2; when the triangular bottle 1 moves to the bottom of the washing support frame 10, the washing conveyor track 2 stops conveying, and the electric telescopic rod 11 drives the brush body 13 to extend into the inside of the triangular bottle 1. The electric grippers 4 clamp and fix the triangular bottle 1 from left to right, so that the triangular bottle 1 remains stable during washing; then start the brush body drive motor 12, and the brush body 13 rotates inside the triangular bottle 1 to wash away the solid fermentation waste adhering to the inside of the triangular bottle 1. After the brush drive motor 12 stops working, the electric telescopic rod 11 drives the brush body 13 to be pulled out from inside the triangular bottle 1. Then, the swing arm drive motor 6 is started, and the triangular bottle 1 is flipped and moved above the waste residue tank 14 by the swing arm 5 and the electric gripper 4. At this time, the mouth of the triangular bottle 1 is facing down. The water pump 9 is turned on, and the water pump 9 sprays clean water from the nozzle 8 to spray and wash the inside of the triangular bottle 1, washing away the solid fermentation waste residue adhering to the inside of the triangular bottle 1. The waste residue is separated and collected by the filter screen at the discharge end of the waste residue tank 14, and the waste liquid enters the waste liquid tank 15.

[0023] This utility model discloses a cleaning machine for treating solid fermentation waste residue from Erlenmeyer flasks. By setting up a brushing platform 3 and a rinsing platform 7, and using an electric telescopic rod 11, a brush drive motor 12, and a swing arm drive motor 6, it can automatically complete the steps of adding brushing water, brushing, inverting, and rinsing. It can effectively clean the solid fermentation waste residue adhering to the inside of the Erlenmeyer flask 1, solving the problems of time-consuming and laborious manual cleaning and difficulty in cleaning the waste residue on the inner wall of the vessel. It is very practical and has good market application prospects.
