Abstract
一种用于将包含营养物和细菌的颗粒发酵剂材料供给至混合槽、用于使混合槽内的发酵剂材料溶解、用于促进细菌的生长以及用于将包含细菌的水浆料从混合槽中排出的设备。本设备优选地具有重力流动供给器和排放端口,不需要泵,并包括一次性的部件。
Description
背景技术
技术领域
本发明涉及一种用于供给和溶解固体生物发酵剂(starter,起子)材料、以及用于通气(aerate)、生长(grow)和分配用于各种最终用途应用的精选营养菌株(vegetaive bacterial strain)的水混合物(aqueous mixture)的系统和设备。这种最终用途应用可包括,例如,来自食品加工或餐馆排水(drain)的油脂的细菌分解(digestion)和去除、油脂捕集器(grease trap)、隔油器(grease interceptor)和下水道、以及其它可用某种方式处理的(amenable)废物和废物流的生物治理(bio-remediation)。本发明的系统和设备主要为了方便起见优选地包括一些一次性的部件,并缩短了清洁和维持设备所需的时间。
现有技术
先前已公开了具有各种供给器设备的生物生长和分配系统,例如,在美国专利No.7,081,361和No.6,335,191中、以及在这些专利中所提及的现有技术中、以及在未决的已公布的美国专利申请No.20090130740中所公开的。
先前公开的用于供给片状的、颗粒状的、丸状的、粒状的或粉末状的细菌发酵剂材料的一些设备已遇到了桥接(bridge,挂料)或堵塞的问题。同样地,先前公开的用于将固体发酵剂材料溶解在水介质或其它液态介质中的一些设备已需要使用由电机驱动的泵来混合、输送或分配液体介质。其它先前公开的设备已需要耗时且高成本的周期性清洁来减轻由于流动管线内的细菌生长所导致的流动路径堵塞。
因此存在对一种紧凑且相对廉价的系统和设备的需要,该系统和设备能在不需要泵的情况下通过重力流动可靠地供给、溶解、输送和分配用于较小量应用的功能上有效量的溶解的和/或浆状的(slurried)营养生物材料。这种系统和设备将理想地包括一些一次性部件,并减少或消除对周期性手动清洗和相关的停工期的需要以及与耗时的维护期相关的损失。
发明内容
本发明的系统和设备理想地包括:紧凑的壁装式的壳体,所述壳体具有框架以及支撑并隐藏装有固体发酵剂材料的供给器单元的罩(cover);供给器驱动组件,布置在供给器单元下方;混合槽,所述混合槽还作为细菌生长容器,在所述细菌增长容器中,固体发酵剂材料溶解、循环和通气,以在预定的操作周期(诸如24小时)期间增加细菌群体;处于标准管线压力下的供水系统(water supply),以使混合槽内的细菌填充、循环和通气;控制系统,所述控制系统包括液体流动管线;定时电路和由通过直流电供电的电机操作的电磁阀;以及诸如电池的直流电源。
根据本发明的一个优选实施方式,供给器单元还包括供给罐(feedercanister)或储料器(hopper)以及包括可旋转的供给器杯的供给器基底和盖组件。优选地包含细菌成分和营养成分的颗粒固体发酵剂材料理想地以丸、颗粒、片或粒的形式提供。运送固态发酵剂材料的塑料容器也能作为供给罐或储料器,并在附接至供给器基底和盖组件时成为供给器单元的整体部分。可旋转的供给器杯能可选地还包括抗桥接的表面增强件(surfaceenhancement),并能与叠置的颗粒障碍件(pellet dam)结合使用,以帮助定向固体供给颗粒,从而减小桥接和堵塞的可能性,所述颗粒障碍件具有构造为指向上的表面。在任一种情况中,可旋转的供给器杯理想地将包括具有开口顶部和底部的供给室,当开口经过布置在混合槽上方的对准的供给端口时,预定量的固体供给材料能通过重力流动从所述供给室落下。使可旋转的供给器杯旋转的供给器驱动组件优选地包括由小型DC电机供电的驱动轴和齿轮组件。
混合槽优选地布置在供给器单元下方并大致是圆柱形且具有优选地是截头圆锥形的下部并包括底部排放件(bottom drain)。刚性的溢流排放管优选地布置为与排放件密封接合并具有向上延伸的自由端。排放管可选地能与混合槽的底壁可释放地接合,只要在可释放接合的区域中提供液体密封以防止泄漏。溢流排放管的自由端适于接收和排放来自容器的液体,以防止容器内的液体高度超过期望的最大高度,所述最大高度比最近的水入口低至少一英寸,以建立大多数建筑法规为避免对饮用水供给系统的可能污染而要求的气隙。在每个操作周期开始时,理想地将水引入到生长容器中,此后,将固体发酵剂材料从供给器单元引入到混合槽中。在整个操作周期中,将较小量的水周期性地再次引入到混合槽中,以使槽内的水细菌浆料混合和通气。这最优选地通过在与槽的外壁大致正切的顺时针或逆时针方向上布置至少两个沿直径相对的进入水的喷射器来实现。
当混合槽内的累积的液体填充高度接近刚性的溢流排放管的排放高度时,漂浮在液体的顶部表面处或附近的细菌被液体携带到刚性的溢流排放管中并通过重力流动被携带到排放件外,优选地被携带至中间存储器或者被携带至期望的最终用途应用。口入排水口(scupper)理想地设置在刚性的溢流排放管的顶部附近,以便细菌浆料流入刚性的溢流排放管中。在每个操作周期结束时且在下一个操作周期开始时,通过引入足量的新的水将存在于混合槽中且漂浮在该表面附近的大多数细菌通过刚性的溢流排放管排出,以取代已经存在于槽中的水。
控制系统优选地包括微处理器,所述微处理器操作电磁阀以控制水在指定的时间在预定的且预设的时间间隔内流动至本设备,并还在期望的时间在预设的时间间隔内致动位于供给器单元下方的供给器驱动组件,从而便于固体供给材料的加料、溶解和混合、由此产生的有益水营养细菌浆料的周期性混合和通气、以及在每个操作周期期间和在每个操作周期结束时的细菌的收获。
仅依赖于使供给器驱动组件的驱动轴旋转以将期望的量的发酵剂材料扫到混合槽中的小型直流电机,包括细菌和营养物的颗粒发酵剂材料理想地通过重力流动经由本发明的设备向下排出。引入到混合槽中的发酵剂材料的量通过供给室的尺寸和/或可旋转的供给器杯的完整(360°)旋转的次数来确定。
同样地,在本主题设备中生产的水细菌浆料优选地通过重力流动从该单元排出。常规的市政水压通常取决于本发明的操作,并且不需要泵以使水循环或者在每个操作周期的结束将水细菌浆料泵出。常规的管线压力通常足以将水引入混合槽中,并以足够的力通过布置在混合槽中的液体高度上方的喷射器使水周期性地脉动,以致使水在槽内形成漩涡,从而使颗粒发酵剂材料溶解、使水通气并促进细菌生长。
根据本发明的另一个实施方式,公开了一种用于颗粒固体的供给器单元,所述供给器单元包括:供给罐;障碍件,设置在供给罐下方;可旋转的供给器杯,设置在障碍件下方;以及容器(receptacle),设置在可旋转的供给器杯下方。障碍件和可旋转的供给器杯优选地每个都包括弓形部分,所述弓形部分具有颗粒固体能通过重力从中流过的开口。可旋转的供给器杯优选地相对于障碍件是可旋转的。障碍件和可旋转的供给器杯中的至少一者并优选地两者理想地包括帮助减小颗粒固体的桥接或堵塞的可能性的面向上的表面增强件。根据本发明的一个特别优选实施方式,整个颗粒固体供给器单元是一次性的且可循环再用的,并在使用供给罐中的大致所有颗粒发酵剂材料之后在周期性维修期间被换下。

具体实施方式
参照图1至图8,本发明的优选设备20优选地包括具有框架24以及可去除的罩(cover)30的壳体。罩30理想地具有现代风格的非常完美的外观并可通过摩擦接合附接至框架24并优选地可完全去除以便接近设备20的内部。然而,应理解和意识到,罩30也能通过其它类似有效的方式(诸如铰链)连接至框架24,只要仍能实现接近设备20的内部。罩30还可扣上或拧上,并且如果需要,还可设置锁(未示出)以控制接近壳体的内部。罩30分别包括前壁部分、顶壁部分和底壁部分22、24、28。出口端口34从罩30的底部28或者穿过所述底部延伸,以用于排放在设备20中生产的水细菌浆料(aqueous bacterial slurry)。罩30和框架24中的任一者或两者优选地由适当的金属或塑料制成,尽管框架24,如果由塑料制成,则应由在长期使用后抗褪色、破裂、蠕变或其它结构失效的耐用塑料制成。
设备20的框架24优选地包括具有孔32(图5和图7)的安装板65,以插入安装螺钉或其它传统的紧固件(未示出),从而将框架24和设备20安装至诸如壁的支撑结构。框架24理想地还包括上支撑板66和下支撑板64,上支撑板和下支撑板中的每个均与安装板65和支架构件62、63整体地制成或者分别连接至安装板和支架构件,所述支架构件优选地布置在相应基板的每一侧处并且还从安装板65向前伸出。上支撑板66理想地包括用于接收下面更详细地描述的供给器单元70的驱动轴的孔68、以及用在如下面关于图17-图18所描述的安装循环喷射器(jet)116、118中的孔69。如果需要,可设置顶部支架46,以用于将罩22(图1)可释放地附接至框架24。
参照图16、图17和图18,安装板65和上下支撑板66、64便于以下各项的附接并为之提供安装位置:微处理器49、电池42或者可替代地交流电源适配器(未示出)、水流管线110、112、114、液体流动控制系统48、供给器单元70、供给器驱动组件50以及混合槽56。混合槽56优选地具有顶部凸缘,所述顶部凸缘滑入到与上支撑板66的协作凸缘相接合。包括排放端口34的下支撑板64理想地与混合槽56的底侧上的流出物出口唇缘相匹配。
参照图9-图11,混合槽56可由一次性的且可循环再用的材料制成,并优选地包括:限定大致为圆形的顶部开口的顶部凸缘130;大致为圆柱形的上壁部分124;截头圆锥形的下侧壁部分126;以及具有居中地布置的排放端口57的底部128。设置有溢流排放管120,优选地包括入口排水口(scupper)122,以用于收获在本发明中生产的水细菌浆料。在本发明的一个优选实施方式中,通过溢流排放管120的高度确定的混合槽56的液体容积理想地是约750ml,但是可根据其它设计参数以及用于特定设备的预期应用而改变。通过向混合槽添加冷水而引发细菌浆料以预置的时间间隔凭借重力周期性地溢出。混合槽的液体容积也可根据用于特定最终用途应用的特定设备的特殊设计而改变。
参照图12-图15,颗粒物质供给器单元70优选地包括倒置的供给罐44,所述供给罐具有实心端壁47以及被螺纹45环绕的相对开口端。罐44的容积优选地足以装有足够的颗粒供给材料,以在理想的工作期期间持续目标数量的操作周期。供给罐44优选地设计为使得螺纹45与供给器基底和盖组件52的螺纹53可协作地接合。颗粒障碍件78和可旋转的供给器杯74优选地在供给罐44附接至供给器基底和盖组件52之前布置在供给器基底和盖组件52内。当以这种或类似有效的结构来构造时,供给罐44可在预载有颗粒发酵剂材料、颗粒障碍件78和可旋转的供给器杯74就位的情况下被运送,并定向为使得供给器基座和盖组件52在使用时附接且准备插入到供给器驱动组件50的供给器驱动基底72中。在用于预定的工作期之后,可去除整个供给器单元以用于随后的再循环,并且可安装新的供给器单元。如果需要,同样可去除混合槽56,并与供给器单元一起安装另一混合槽。
供给器基底和盖组件52优选地还包括具有周向地隔开的键槽152的侧壁148,该键槽接收颗粒障碍件78的键78a(以图14中的140示出)以防止颗粒障碍件相对于供给器基底和盖组件52旋转。参照图14,颗粒障碍件78优选地还包括:凸起的楔形部分138,所述楔形部分包括表面增强件142,所述表面增强件用于帮助防止向下流动到供给罐44(图13)外的颗粒供给材料在由于重力进一步穿过颗粒障碍件78的底边144内的开口80且穿过可旋转的供给器杯74的供给室76(图15)、供给器基底和盖组件52的向下伸出的排放端口54(图13)、以及供给器驱动基底72的进入到混合槽56中的孔160(图17)向下流动之前桥接或堵塞。可旋转的供给器杯74的供给室76没有顶部或底部,而是在其接收穿过颗粒障碍件78中的开口80向下流动的颗粒供给材料时布置在供给器基底和盖组件52的底部154的实心表面上方。当可旋转的供给器杯74在颗粒障碍件78与供给器基底和盖组件52的底部154之间旋转时,供给室76在开口80下方扫过并接收足以大致装满所述杯的颗粒供给,然后在供给器基底和盖组件52的底部154中的伸出的排放端口54中的孔68(图16)上方旋转,以将颗粒供给排放到混合槽56中。
供给器基底和盖组件52(图13)的向下伸出的排放端口54的优选矩形形状理想地可释放地接合供给器驱动基底72的底部158中的孔160并防止供给器基底和盖组件52相对于供给器驱动基底72旋转。驱动轴96优选地是方形的,并且其尺寸协作地制造为紧密地装配在可旋转的供给器杯74的孔79内,以确保可旋转的供给器杯74随着驱动轴96旋转。相反地,供给器驱动基底72的孔86和供给器基底和盖组件52的底部154中的孔146理想地大到足以允许驱动轴96在其内部自由地旋转。供给器罩和基底组件52的外壁148中的肋150的尺寸制造并构造为协作地接合供给器驱动基底72的壁156内的肋162,以在设备20(图1)的使用期间将供给罐44紧密地保持在位。
参照图13和图15-图18,供给器驱动组件50优选地还包括由小型直流电机82的轴84驱动的齿轮组件90、92、94,所述轴穿过供给器驱动基底72的底部158中的孔88而安装。这优选地是使用偏置电机的中心轴线多齿轮驱动。可旋转的供给器杯74优选地包括具有居中地布置的孔79的大致为圆柱形的圆盘,所述孔适于接收穿过供给器驱动基底72中的轴向地对齐的孔86和146向上延伸的驱动轴96(图13)。当由电池42供电的电机82由从微处理器49接收到的信号致动时,齿轮组件90、92、94致使驱动轴96旋转,从而致使可旋转的供给器杯74旋转并将颗粒发酵剂材料供给到混合槽65中。
电池42(其最优选地是可充电的电池组和/或110v a/c或d/c变流器)为液体流动控制单元48、用于供给器驱动组件50的传动设备的d/c电机82、以及微处理器49供电。液体流动控制单元48理想地包括至少一个电磁阀(solenoid valve),并且微处理器49在指定的时间控制冷水龙头入口螺线管周期,从而便于固体产品在初始操作周期中的溶解和混合,并用于混合添加的溶解氧且在操作周期结束时和接近结束时将营养细菌最终分配至理想的应用。微处理器49还致动供给器驱动组件50的电机82,以致使供给器单元70将颗粒供给材料排放到装在混合槽56中的水中。
根据优选的24小时操作周期的在预设的时间用于包含细菌成分和营养成分的颗粒发酵剂材料的添加以及用于水喷射的微处理器的一个实例如下:
周期开始0小时——使冷水龙头流5分钟。
在该周期之后,供给器单元70起动并将预定重量或体积的颗粒供给材料排放到生长容器中的水中。
混合和通气周期#16小时——使冷水龙头流3秒钟。
混合和通气周期#212小时——使冷水龙头流3秒钟。
混合和通气周期#316小时——使冷水龙头流3秒钟。
混合和通气周期#419小时——使冷水龙头流3秒钟。
混合和通气周期#522小时——使冷水龙头流3秒钟。
返回步骤#124小时。
应理解的是,这些水喷射时间能根据对特定细菌、周围温度的需求或影响溶解氧需求的其它条件而改变。
至少包括一个电磁阀的流动控制系统48控制混合/通气周期以及周期开始时的“使水龙头流5分钟”,这导致将活的营养细菌分配到理想的应用中。这种“使水龙头流5分钟”的周期还在为起动优选的24小时操作周期而添加固体生物产品之前用清洁的冷水补充生长容器。
安装至上支撑板66中的孔或者通过所述孔接收的零喷射水入口116、118优选地沿直径相对的且与混合槽56的几何中心等距地定位,液体溢流管120定位在该圆周的中心处。水入口116、118定位在混合槽56内的最高预期液体高度上方最小1英寸以符合要求一英寸气隙的管道设备法规,并优选地与交叉水平直径线垂直,所述水入口定位在交叉水平直径线上,以致使“旋转的”水移动,这有益于所得到的溶液/混合物的混合和通气。应理解的是,能改变喷射器的数量和尺寸、以及对应的位置关系,只要达到加强溶解、混合和通气的目的,从而促进细菌生长。
由此形成的包含在水细菌浆料中的营养细菌然后被引导至应用喷射位置,例如地面排水管、废物坑、油脂捕集器、隔油器、工艺废物流、市政废物流等。供给器驱动基座72、旋转的供给器杯74、颗粒障碍件78以及混合槽56都是在常规工间维护期间只要需要便能替换以减少清洁的一次性的且可循环再用的部件。
尽管如本文中所公开的颗粒物质供给器单元70是用于本发明的设备20的优选供给器单元,但本领域技术人员在阅读完本公开后应理解的是,结合有与在本文中所公开的这些等效的结构元件的供给器同样能应用于许多其它设备和系统,在这些设备和系统中,用于颗粒固体的可控重力供给器对于其它应用是理想的。因此,在不存在公开相同内容的现有技术的情况下,出于除生长和收获细菌水浆料以外的其它目的与在本文中所公开的供给器单元70类似的供给器单元的设计和使用也被认为是构成本主题发明的一部分。
对于本领域普通技术人员而言,在阅读完本公开后,本文中所公开的系统和设备的其它修改和改进同样将变得显而易见,并且本发明的范围旨在仅受所附权利要求的最宽泛解释限制,本发明人在法律上享有所附权利要求的权利。
