[0031] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connection", "connection" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or integrally connected; it can be mechanically connected, or it can be electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be connected inside two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0032] As shown in Figures 1-3 The present embodiment discloses a heating magnetic stirrer, comprising a stirring driving device 13, a temperature measuring device and a temperature control device, wherein:

[0033] The stirring driving device 13 is used to mix the solution 6 in the beaker 5, so as to make the temperature distribution of the solution in the beaker 5 more uniform;

[0034] The temperature measuring device comprises a solution temperature measuring device 3 and a heating table temperature measuring device 8, the solution temperature measuring device 3 is used to measure the temperature of the solution in the beaker 5 and take it as the feedback quantity of the main ring; the heating table temperature measuring device 8 is used to measure the temperature of the heating table 11 and take it as the feedback quantity of the secondary ring;

[0035] The temperature control device adopts a fuzzy-serial PID control mode, which is used to accurately control the temperature of the solution in the beaker 5, so as to realize the temperature point of the solution 6 required by different experiments.

[0036] Further, the stirring driving device 13 comprises a direct-current brushless motor 10, a magnet 9 and a magnetic stirring rod 7, wherein:

[0037] The direct current brushless motor 10 is fixed on the bottom of the upper casing 14 of the stirrer by screws, and has three Hall elements arranged at 120° inside, for detecting the position of rotation of the direct current brushless motor 10.

[0038] The controller of the direct current brushless motor 10 adopts a PI controller, and the parameters of P and I should be smaller than the normal values. The purpose of this is: first, the motor slowly starts to operate and slowly approaches the target speed. Second, the overshoot is reduced and the oscillation time is shortened. Because the magnetic stirring rod 7 and the magnet 9 in the container are attracted by magnetic force, if the speed changes too much in a short time, it is easy to appear "jumping" (the magnetic stirring rod 7 cannot follow the rotation of the magnet 9, and the magnetic stirring rod 7 jumps up and down in the solution 6). In addition, although the control of the direct current brushless motor 10 is not very complex, some protection measures should be taken to prevent the direct current brushless motor 10 from stalling and causing accidents. For example, the current value of the direct current brushless motor 10 during operation can be collected, and when the direct current brushless motor 10 stalls, the motor output should be immediately cut off to protect the safety of the system.

[0039] The magnet 9 is fixed above the output shaft of the direct current brushless motor 10, for rotating the magnetic stirring rod 7 immersed in the beaker 5 by the principle of magnetic attraction. In this embodiment, it should be noted that the distance between the magnet 9 and the direct current brushless motor 10 should be greater than 5 cm, otherwise the magnetism of the magnet 9 will interfere with the Hall signal of the motor.

[0040] Further, the solution temperature measuring device 3 includes a first platinum resistance, a long needle hole, and a wire 4. The first platinum resistance is placed inside the long needle hole and is fixed by adding ceramic glue inside the long needle hole. At the same time, the wire 4 is connected with the intelligent control PCB board 16 fixed on the lower casing 17 of the stirrer. In this embodiment, the first platinum resistance adopts a PT1000 platinum thermal resistance.

[0041] Further, the intelligent control PCB board 16 includes a main control chip, a motor driving device, a temperature collecting device, a heating resistance wire power adjusting device, and a switching power supply 15. The main control chip adopts a TM32f103VET6 single-chip microcomputer as the main control chip of the stirrer. The chip has multiple IIC, SPI, serial port, advanced timer, and other peripherals integrated inside, which meets the requirements of this design. In this embodiment, all devices are placed on a PCB board, which reduces the wiring connection and saves space. However, it should be noted that the heating resistance wire 12 is controlled by alternating current, while other elements belong to direct current. In order to avoid electromagnetic interference, the alternating current part and the direct current part must be cut off.

[0042] With reference to the above description, it is understood that the above-mentioned embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and are not used to limit the scope of the present application. Figure 1The solution temperature measuring device 3 is fixed by a cross support composed of a support column 2 and a transverse plastic clamping shell 1, the transverse plastic clamping shell 1 is fixed on the support column 2 by screws, one side of the support column 2 is provided with an M5 thread, the rear side of the upper machine shell 14 is provided with an M5 threaded hole matched with the thread of the one side of the support column 2, the support column 2 is fixed on the upper machine shell 14, and the transverse plastic clamping shell 1 rotates left and right and moves up and down on the support column 2.

[0043] Further, the heating table temperature measuring device 8 adopts a second platinum resistance, in order to make the measured temperature closer to the heating table 11, an M3 stud is welded at the bottom of the heating table 11, the second platinum resistance is placed in the corresponding stud hole of the stud, and is sealed by ceramic glue. In the embodiment, the second platinum resistance adopts a PT100 platinum thermal resistance.

[0044] Further, the stirrer further comprises a heating device placed at the bottom of the heating table 11, the heating device comprises a heating resistance wire 12, a high-temperature mica sheet and a heat preservation and insulation device, the heating resistance wire 12 is embedded in the high-temperature mica sheet, and the high-temperature mica sheet is fixed in the heat preservation and insulation device. In the embodiment, the power of the heating resistance wire 12 is 600W. In order to control the power of the heating resistance wire 12 to be controllable, the voltage value of the alternating current must be controlled, so as to control the power of the heating resistance wire 12. Here, the light coupling and bidirectional thyristor are adopted to realize the adjustment of the alternating voltage. The IO port output PWM (pulse width modulation) wave of the single-chip microcomputer controls the conduction and cut-off of the light coupling, and then the alternating voltage control is realized, and the power of the heating resistance wire 12 is controllable.

[0045] Preferably, the heating table 11 adopts a copper-aluminum alloy material with a high thermal conductivity. The heating resistance wire 12 is placed at the bottom of the heating table 11, the temperature of the heating table 11 is controlled by controlling the power of the heating resistance wire 12, and the heating resistance wire 12 is annular, so that the temperature distribution of the heating table 11 is more uniform.

[0046] As shown in Figure 3 , the stirrer further comprises a man-machine interaction device, which is mainly completed through a touch screen. The user can know the real-time temperature and real-time rotating speed of the system through the touch screen. Similarly, the user can set the target solution temperature value, motor rotating speed value and heating mode selection (the heating mode is divided into rapid heating and accurate temperature control) through the touch screen.

[0047] Further, in order to improve the temperature control precision of the system and reduce the overshoot, the temperature control device adopts a fuzzy-serial PID controller, wherein:

[0048] The main ring as the main loop of the system control belongs to a customized control system, and adopts a fuzzy-PID controller. Figure 2 The temperature set by the user through the man-machine interaction device is used as the input value of the main ring, the temperature of the solution 6 in the beaker 5 measured by the solution temperature measuring device 3 is used as the feedback value of the main ring, and the difference between the feedback value and the input value of the solution temperature is used as the error of the closed loop. Since the system requires a small overshoot (exceeding the set value will affect the activity of the microorganisms in the container), the main ring adopts a fuzzy-PID controller, which reduces the overshoot of the system and has higher stability compared with the ordinary PID controller. For the cascade control system, the introduction of the secondary ring is to reduce the overshoot of the system and increase the stability of the system, so the control accuracy of the secondary ring is not as high as that of the main ring. The output value of the main ring fuzzy-PID controller is used as the input value of the secondary ring PID controller, and the heating table temperature measured by the heating table temperature measuring device 8 is used as the feedback value of the secondary ring. Finally, the power of the heating resistance wire 12 is controlled in real time to complete the processing of the preset temperature.

[0049] Specifically, the user sets the target temperature value through the touch screen as the input value of the main ring, and the controller converts the actual temperature value of the solution 6 in the beaker 5 from the voltage value between the two ends of the PT1000 platinum thermal resistance in the solution 6. The difference between the temperature value and the temperature value set by the user is used as the error value of the main ring. The percentage of the output value of the main ring is used as the input value of the secondary ring PID controller, and the feedback value of the secondary ring is the table temperature value, which is measured by the PT100 platinum thermal resistance temperature sensor at the bottom of the table. The power of the heating resistance wire 12 is changed through the output value of the secondary ring, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the table temperature.

[0050] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application can be easily thought by those skilled in the art, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
