Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cell bioreactors, and particularly to a biaxial double-swing plastic bag cell bioreactor. Background Art

[0002] At present, for the research and development and capacity expansion in the fields of COVID-19 vaccines, diagnostic reagents, antibody drugs, and cell therapy, a large amount of capital, manpower, and technology have been invested globally in the industrialization process of biopharmaceutical research and development and capacity expansion. Therefore, due to the disposable cell bioreactor for large-scale and high-density culture of animal cells, which is the most important upstream bioprocess equipment in the biopharmaceutical industry, it has become the key link and bottleneck problem for capacity expansion. The disposable cell bioreactor largely determines the production capacity, product variety, and product cost of biopharmaceutical enterprises. The currently used swing-type cell bioreactor in biopharmaceutical enterprises has many defects and deficiencies. For example, after the volume of the swing-type cell bioreactor becomes larger, the impact force received when swinging to the two end points in the left and right directions is very large, resulting in severe vibration and noise. Therefore, it can only reach a volume of 50 liters, and it is not possible to make it larger. For this reason, the manufacturer of this reactor stopped producing swing-type cell bioreactors with a volume of more than 50 liters two years ago. If the swing angle is reduced and the swing frequency is decreased to reduce the impact force at the two end points on the left and right, it will cause a decrease in the dissolved oxygen level and flow velocity of the mixed culture solution in the culture bag, thereby seriously affecting cell growth and amplification. It will also cause cell sedimentation due to poor fluidity of the culture solution, and then the cells will adhere to each other, resulting in the rupture of the cell membrane and cell death.

[0016] The kinetic energy of the pendulum of the present invention is converted into potential energy, and then the potential energy is converted back into kinetic energy of the pendulum, in a cyclic structure and motion principle. A simple pendulum mechanism is added to the existing swinging mechanism to convert the kinetic energy of the pendulum into potential energy, and when swinging back, the potential energy is released and converted into part of the kinetic energy of the pendulum to assist the next reverse swing. Thus, a double-shaft double-swing combination mechanism is formed, which can bring many beneficial effects:

[0017] Firstly, since the kinetic energy of the pendulum is converted into potential energy at the left and right end points, the impact force of the kinetic energy of the ordinary swinging mechanism on the ground, the resulting vibration and noise, and the damage of the impact force to the building structure of the workshop are completely eliminated at the left and right end points.

[0018] Second, the conversion between such energies can save most of the energy from being consumed. Just like the pendulum mechanism in a clock can swing in a cycle for a long time. A stepping motor with a relatively small power can be used to drive a reactor with a larger volume to work, saving energy. At the same time, the structural size and weight of the components on the cell reactor can also be reduced, lowering the manufacturing cost of the cell reactor.

[0019] Third, since the impact force, vibration, and noise are eliminated. This completely solves the practical problem that existing swing-type cell bioreactors in the world cannot work and stop production when the volume is above 50 liters, because when swinging to the left and right endpoints, a large impact force, vibration, shaking, and noise are generated. It is estimated that this double-axis double-swing plastic bag cell bioreactor will not generate an impact force even when the working volume reaches 10,000 liters. And the requirements of this reactor for the plant civil structure and sound insulation and shock absorption devices will be reduced a lot. In this way, the input costs of the plant and various shock absorption and noise reduction related devices can also be reduced, thus reducing the total cost of pharmaceutical production.

[0050] Preferably, shock-absorbing rubber pads are provided at the bottom of the support frame bottom plate 940.

[0051] In the double-shaft double-swing plastic bag cell bioreactor provided by the present invention, first, as can be seen from the movement principle of the reactor in the figure, the power source is the stepping motor and the ball screw in the swing box, which push the spherical mechanism of the thrust joint bearing combination installed on the slide table to perform reciprocating linear motion on the linear guide rail. The short shaft in the spherical mechanism drives the upper part of the elastic pendulum rod to swing left and right. Then, the swing basket and the multifunctional heat preservation tank and the plastic culture bag and the mixed culture solution in the bag are driven by the swing frame to swing left and right around the axis of the load-bearing shaft, causing the mixed culture solution in the culture bag to flow reciprocally in the left and right directions, thus completing the main movement of culturing cells in the culture solution.

[0052] Secondly, the swinging basket assembly is clamped and installed on the load-bearing shaft through the swinging basket shaft hoop. This makes the swinging basket assembly and the load-bearing shaft integrated and swing left and right around the axis of the load-bearing shaft. The load-bearing shaft is installed on two support bases through two semi-circular disc-shaped sliding bearings, so the load-bearing shaft is rotatable on the support bases. At the same time, all the loads on the load-bearing shaft also act on the two support bases and are transmitted to the ground through the two support bases;

[0053] Next, the movement of the double-shaft double-swing mechanism is composed of the combination of a swinging mechanism and a single-pendulum mechanism. First: The swinging mechanism is composed of an elastic pendulum rod swinging the swinging basket assembly (the load-bearing shaft and the swinging basket swing together) left and right around the axis of the load-bearing shaft; Second: The single-pendulum mechanism is composed of a pendulum rod and a pendulum swinging left and right around the axis of the swinging shaft (the pendulum rod, the pendulum and the swinging shaft swing together); Third: The toothed belt pulley on the load-bearing shaft is connected to the toothed belt pulley on the swinging shaft through a toothed belt, transmitting the swinging kinetic energy on the load-bearing shaft to the swinging shaft. Then, the pendulum rod and the pendulum connected to the swinging shaft convert the swinging kinetic energy into potential energy through their own reverse swinging. Such cyclic conversion of kinetic energy and potential energy is completed when swinging to the left and right end points. Such a cycle is repeated to complete the whole process of the double-shaft double-swing movement;

[0054] Summary: The above is the structure and motion principle of the present invention in which the swinging kinetic energy is converted into potential energy, and then the potential energy is converted back into swinging kinetic energy, repeating the cycle. That is, a single-pendulum mechanism is added to the existing swinging mechanism to convert the swinging kinetic energy into potential energy, and when swinging back, the potential energy is released and converted into part of the swinging kinetic energy to assist the next reverse swing. Thus, such a double-shaft double-swing combined mechanism is formed, which can bring many beneficial effects:

[0055] First, since the swinging kinetic energy is converted into potential energy at the left and right end points, this completely eliminates the impact force of the swinging kinetic energy on the ground, the resulting vibration and noise, and the damage to the factory building structure caused by the impact force when the ordinary swinging mechanism reaches the left and right end points. This enables the reactor to stably and quietly complete the whole process of culturing cells and meet the requirements of various environments.

[0056] Second, this conversion between energies can save most of the energy from being consumed. Just like the single-pendulum mechanism in a clock that can swing cyclically for a long time. A stepping motor with a smaller power can be used to drive a reactor with a larger volume to work, saving energy. At the same time, it can also reduce the structural size and weight of the components on the cell reactor, reducing the manufacturing cost of the cell reactor.

[0057] Thirdly, since the impact force, vibration and noise are eliminated, the practical problem that the existing swing-type cell bioreactor in the world cannot work and stop production when the volume is more than 50 liters, due to the large impact force, vibration, shaking and noise generated when swinging to the left and right end points, is completely solved. It is estimated that there will be no impact force even when the working volume reaches 10,000 liters. And the requirements of this reactor for the civil engineering structure of the plant and the sound insulation and shock absorption devices will be reduced a lot. In this way, the investment costs of the plant and various shock absorption and noise reduction related devices can also be reduced, thereby reducing the total cost of pharmaceutical production.

[0058] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
