Background
In fermentation engineering, inoculation is a key step, which directly affects the effect of fermentation and the quality of the product. There are many common inoculation modes, and flame inoculation is a more traditional inoculation method still applied in specific situations. The flame inoculation mode mainly uses the high temperature generated by flame to create a local sterile environment, so as to perform inoculation operation. The flame inoculation mode has a plurality of defects, namely, the risk of bacteria infection is high, the operation requirement is strict, the inoculation opening of an inoculation bottle and a fermentation tank is always under flame protection, the bacteria infection is exposed by improper operation or slow action, the flame is easily influenced by environmental factors such as ventilation and the like and is unstable or even extinguished, the aseptic environment is destroyed, the safety of operators is threatened, the hands are easily burned by the high temperature of the flame during the inoculation operation, the automation is difficult to realize, the manual operation is mainly relied on, the combination with automatic equipment and a system is difficult, the large-scale and high-efficiency fermentation production is not facilitated, and the development requirement of modern fermentation engineering pursuing automation and intelligence cannot be met.

Under certain special fermentation processes or under strict requirements on fermentation conditions, the pressure in the fermentation tank can be increased. For example, in some anaerobic fermentation processes, in order to prevent external oxygen from entering, or in the fermentation process, some gases (such as carbon dioxide, etc.) are generated, a certain positive pressure needs to be maintained, and the pressure may reach 0.3-0.8MPa. In addition, in some processes involving high temperature fermentation or requiring high pressure treatment of the fermented material, the pressure is also controlled within this range to improve the fermentation environment of the microorganism or to improve the fermentation efficiency. The working pressure of the conventional small peristaltic pump is not more than 0.2MPa, the maximum pressure of part of industrial peristaltic pumps can reach about 0.7MPa, and the pressure which can be born by a common silica gel hose is generally about 0.3-0.8MPa, so that the feeding operation in the high-pressure treatment process is difficult to be satisfied by the currently used device. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, an inoculating device suitable for high pressure condition is provided to meet the practical requirement.
