Currently, two types of common modes are used for inoculating fermentation tanks: one is flame inoculation, i.e. the seeds are poured into a reactor under the protection of flame, and this operation requires cooperation of many people and risks of scalding and catching fire. The other type is a differential pressure inoculation method, namely, high-temperature steam is used for simultaneously sterilizing an inoculation pipeline on a reactor and a liquid outflow port of an inoculation bottle, and then the pressure of the inoculation bottle is enabled to be larger than that of the reactor by controlling the opening and closing of a plurality of valves, so that seed liquid can be transferred to the reactor under the pressure effect. The method is safer than flame inoculation.
However, the widely used differential pressure inoculation device, such as the authorized CN201820776124.2 utility model, has to be connected with a three-way diaphragm valve with high temperature sterilization on the inoculation bottle, and the inoculation bottle and the three-way diaphragm valve need to be carefully cleaned after the inoculation is completed and sterilized in the high pressure sterilization device before use, so that the inoculation device has the technical problems of inconvenient carrying, long operation time, difficult cleaning, etc.
