Hereinafter, a "microbial culture liquid feeding device having a residual material discharging device" (hereinafter referred to as a feeding device) according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

2 is a block diagram showing the structure of a microbial feeder according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The feeding device (200) of the present invention comprises a device for producing a microorganism culture liquid, a device for refrigerating and storing, and a device for feeding and discharging the same into the python (10).

The incubator 202 injects the material for producing the microbial culture liquid and proliferates the microorganisms under appropriate temperature and humidity conditions. The resultant liquid state microbial culture liquid is transferred to the cooler 208 through the transfer pipe 204. The transfer pipe 204 is provided with a transfer pump 206. The microorganisms produced in the incubator 202 are Bacillus, lactic acid bacteria, yeast, and the like as in the prior art.

A space for storing the microorganism culture liquid is formed inside the cooler 208, and the storage space is controlled to maintain a temperature of about 4 ° C.

The outlet 210 and the inlet 224 are formed on the side of the cooler 208. Generally, the outlet 210 is installed at the lower end of the cooler 208 side and the inlet 224 is at the upper end, the location of which may vary. The discharge port 210 and the inlet port 224 are connected to a supply pipe 218. The microbial culture liquid discharged through the discharge port 210 is transported through the supply pipe 218 and then discharged to the outside. The remaining amount is circulated through the supply pipe 218 to enter the cooler 208 again through the inlet port 224.

A supply pump 212 is provided at the inlet (near the outlet) of the supply pipe 218 to push the microbial culture liquid into the supply pipe 218.

Two valves 216 and 222 are installed in the supply pipe 218. The valves 216 and 222 are all solenoid valves which are opened and closed by the controller 228 to open or close the flow of the microbial culture liquid. Preferably, the first valve 216 is located at a branch adjacent to the outlet side of the feed pump 212, and the second valve 222 is located at a position adjacent to the front of the inlet 224.

In the supply pipe 218, a check valve 214 is provided behind the supply pump 212. The check valve 214 has a structure similar to that of a general counterflow so that the microbial culture liquid does not flow back toward the discharge port 210 again.

The feed tube 218 passes through the inside of the python 10 as in the prior art and feeds the microorganism culture liquid to the food vessel 20 inside the python 10. To this end, a plurality of drop buttons 220 are installed in the supply pipe 218 near the food container 20. The drop button 220 is configured to discharge the fluid when the pressure of the fluid inside the pipe is higher than a certain level and the flow path is opened. The drop button 220 is configured to close when the amount of the fluid is low or the pressure is low. Therefore, when the amount of the microbial culture liquid in the supply pipe 218 or the pressure of the microbial culture liquid inside the supply pipe 218 is higher than a certain level (full), the drop button 220 is opened and the microbial culture liquid is discharged into the food container 20.

The supply pipe 218 is provided with a compressor 226 for blowing out high-pressure air. The compressor 226 is preferably located behind the first check valve 214, although the position may vary. The compressor 226 is installed in a pipe branched at the outlet side of the supply pump 212 and a second check valve 214 and a first valve 216 are installed in the direction of the compressor 226 at a branch point.

The high pressure air blown by the compressor 226 flows into the supply pipe 218 through the first valve 216 and the second check valve 214. The first check valve 214 is connected to the discharge port 210 in the direction of the discharge port 210 And moves toward the inlet port 224 in most cases. Then, the high-pressure air passes through the supply pipe 218 to push out the residual material inside the supply pipe 218 together.

In the present invention, the operation of the feed pump 206 and the feed pump 212, the opening and closing of the first valve 216 and the second valve 222, and the operation of the compressor 226 are both controlled by the controller 228 .

Hereinafter, a process of automatically feeding a microbial culture liquid using the feeding device 200 and removing the residual materials will be described.

FIG. 3 is a configuration diagram showing a state in which a microorganism culture liquid is transferred to a cooler, FIG. 4 is a configuration diagram showing a state in which a culture liquid is filled in a supply tube, FIG. 5 is a configuration diagram showing a state in which a culture liquid is supplied to a python, Is a configuration diagram showing a state of discharging residual material remaining in the supply pipe.

First, as shown in FIG. 3, the microbial culture liquid produced in the incubator 202 is transferred to the cooler 208. When the transfer pump 206 operates, the culture liquid is stored in the cooler 208 through the transfer tube 204. At this time, the inside of the supply pipe 218 connected to the cooler 208 is empty.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the feed pump 212 is operated to fill the microbial culture liquid in the feed pipe 218. The controller 228 closes the first valve 216 and opens the second valve 222 to facilitate the movement and filling of the microbial culture. Between the compressor 226 and the supply pipe 218 is provided a check valve 214 for preventing the back flow of the fluid and a first valve 216 in the closed state so that the microbial culture liquid does not move in the direction of the compressor 226.

The pressure inside the supply pipe 218 does not become higher than the reference point because the second valve 222 is opened even when the inside of the supply pipe 218 is filled with the microbial culture liquid. Therefore, the drop button 220 is kept closed, so that the microbial culture liquid is not discharged into the food container 20.

When the microbial culture liquid is filled in the supply pipe 218, the second valve 222 is closed while the supply pump 212 is continuously operated (see FIG. 5). The first valve 216 keeps the closed state. As a result, the pressure of the microbial culture liquid is increased in the supply pipe 218 from the supply pump 212 to the second valve 222. When the pressure of the microbial culture liquid rises to a certain level or higher, the drop button 220 is opened and the microbial culture liquid is discharged into the food container 20. The controller 228 discharges the culture liquid for a predetermined time while the second valve 222 is closed.

When a predetermined amount of the microbial culture liquid is supplied, the controller 228 opens the second valve 222 while stopping the feed pump 212 as shown in FIG. Then, the compressor 226 is operated while opening the first valve 216, so that high-pressure air is introduced into the supply pipe 218. The high pressure air moves in the direction of the cooler 208 through the second valve 222 in the supply pipe 218. [ The high-pressure air pushes the residual material (the microorganism culture liquid, the substance generated by metabolism of the microorganism, etc.) remaining in the supply pipe 218 and moves toward the cooler 208. Some residual material remaining in the drop button 220 is discharged to the outside of the drop button 220.

The controller 228 stops the operation of the compressor 226 and closes the first valve 216 and the second valve 222. When the residual gas is discharged, Repeat steps 3 to 6 once again for the next time the microbial culture is supplied.

While the present invention has been described with reference to exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, As will be understood by those skilled in the art. Therefore, it should be understood that the above-described embodiments are to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the invention being indicated by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, It is intended that all changes and modifications derived from the equivalent concept be included within the scope of the present invention.
