[0047] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a bioreactor in one embodiment. The bioreactor includes a base 10 and a culture tank 20 disposed on the base 10. The culture tank 20 includes a tank body 202, a temperature control device (not shown in the figure), a first heating film 204 disposed on the bottom wall of the tank body 202, a second heating film 206 disposed on the side wall of the tank body 202, a first temperature sensor 208 for detecting a first temperature value of the culture medium, a second temperature sensor 210 for detecting a second temperature value of the first heating film 204, and a third temperature sensor 212 for detecting a third temperature value of the second heating film 206. A culture bag for holding the culture medium is also provided inside the tank body 202.

[0048] Bioreactors, for example, are turbulent flow bioreactors.

[0049] The bottom wall of tank 202 is, for example, an inverted cone shape or other shapes. The side walls of tank 202 are, for example, cylindrical or other shapes.

[0050] The first temperature sensor 208, the second temperature sensor 210, and the third temperature sensor 212 detect the corresponding temperature values ​​at preset time intervals.

[0051] The temperature control method provided in this application can be applied to the temperature control device described in the above embodiments. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the temperature control device may include a processor 302 and a memory 304 for storing data. The processor 302 may be, but is not limited to, a microprocessor (MCU) or a programmable logic device (FPGA).

Figure 2 The structure shown is for illustrative purposes only and does not limit the structure of the terminal described above. For example, the temperature control device may also include a... Figure 2 The more or fewer components shown, or having the same Figure 2 The different configurations shown are illustrated.

[0052] The memory 304 can be used to store computer programs, such as application software programs and modules, like the computer program corresponding to the temperature control method in this embodiment. The processor 302 executes various functional applications and data processing by running the computer program stored in the memory 304, thereby implementing the aforementioned method. The memory 304 may include high-speed random access memory, and may also include non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic storage devices, flash memory, or other non-volatile solid-state memory. In some instances, the memory 304 may further include memory remotely located relative to the processor 302, and these remote memories can be connected to the terminal via a network. Examples of such networks include, but are not limited to, the Internet, corporate intranets, local area networks, mobile communication networks, and combinations thereof.

[0053] Transmission device 306 is used to receive or send data via a network. This network includes a wireless network provided by the terminal's communication provider. In one example, transmission device 306 includes a Network Interface Controller (NIC), which can connect to other network devices via a base station to communicate with the Internet. In another example, transmission device 306 can be a Radio Frequency (RF) module used for wireless communication with the Internet.

[0054] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, a temperature control method is provided, which is applied to... Figure 2 Taking the temperature control device in the middle as an example, the following steps are included:

[0055] S302: Based on the first preset temperature value of the culture medium, the first temperature value, and the preset temperature difference, determine the corresponding temperature control strategy to control the first temperature value to reach the first preset temperature value.

[0056] The first preset temperature value is set according to the actual cells being cultured. For example, when culturing CHO cells, the first preset temperature value is usually set to 37°C.

[0057] The preset temperature difference can be set according to the actual volume of the culture medium, for example, 0.4℃.

[0058] In this embodiment, the temperature control strategy is determined based on the first preset temperature value of the culture medium, the first temperature value, and the preset temperature difference. The temperature of the culture medium is adjusted quickly and accurately through the most suitable control strategy.

[0059] S304: When the first preset temperature value is greater than the first temperature value, when executing the corresponding temperature control strategy, based on the second temperature value, the third temperature value, and the second preset temperature value, control the working states of the first heating film and the second heating film.

[0060] The second preset temperature value is the protection temperature of the culture bag. Usually, the protection temperature of the culture bag is 45°C. If the temperature of the heating film exceeds 45°C, it may cause damage to the culture bag.

[0061] In this embodiment, when the first preset temperature value is greater than the first temperature value, the protection temperature of the culture bag is considered. Therefore, when executing the corresponding temperature control strategy, based on the second temperature value, the third temperature value, and the second preset temperature value, control the working states of the first heating film and the second heating film. Therefore, the culture will not fail due to damage to the culture bag.

[0062] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 shown, determining the corresponding temperature control strategy based on the first preset temperature value of the culture solution, the first temperature value, and the preset temperature difference includes:

[0063] S402: Obtain the difference between the first preset temperature value and the first temperature value.

[0064] Assume that the first preset temperature value of the culture solution is S, and the first temperature value of the culture solution is T1.

[0065] Compare the first preset temperature value S and the first temperature value T1 through a comparator, calculate the difference E, and the calculation method is: E = S - T1.

[0066] S404: Based on the magnitude relationship between the first preset temperature value and the first temperature value, and the magnitude relationship between the difference and the preset temperature difference, determine the corresponding temperature control strategy.

[0067] In this embodiment, based on the magnitude relationship between the first preset temperature value and the first temperature value, and the magnitude relationship between the difference and the preset temperature difference, determine the most suitable temperature control strategy for the current first temperature value.

[0068] Assume that the preset temperature difference is F. Compare the difference E, the preset temperature difference F, and the value 0 through a comparator. There are three comparison results, which are: E > 0 and E > F; E > 0 and E < F; E < 0, each corresponding to a temperature control strategy.

[0069] Specifically, as Figure 5As shown, determining the corresponding temperature control strategy based on the relationship between the first preset temperature value and the first temperature value, and the relationship between the difference and the preset temperature difference, includes:

[0070] S502: If the first preset temperature value is greater than the first temperature value, and the difference is greater than the preset temperature difference, then the first temperature control strategy is executed.

[0071] The flowchart for executing the first temperature control strategy is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, assuming the second temperature value is T2, the third temperature value is T3, and the second preset temperature value is D, when executing the first temperature control strategy, if the second temperature value T2 is less than or equal to the second preset temperature value D, then the first control signal is output to control the first heating film to be in a heating state; otherwise, the first control signal is output to control the first heating film to be in a closed state. If the third temperature value T3 is less than or equal to the second preset temperature value D, then the first control signal is output to control the second heating film to be in a heating state; otherwise, the first control signal is output to control the second heating film to be in a closed state.

[0072] After executing the first temperature control strategy, the first, second, and third temperature sensors detect the corresponding temperature values ​​at preset time intervals to determine the corresponding temperature control strategy again, thereby achieving real-time control of the culture medium temperature. For example, if the conditions of the first temperature control strategy are still met, the first temperature control strategy continues to be executed; if the conditions of the second temperature control strategy are met, the second temperature control strategy is executed.

[0073] The first temperature control strategy is generally used in the early stage of culture when the culture medium is first added and the temperature begins to rise, or during the replenishment stage of culture. In this case, the initial temperature of the culture medium is relatively low. When the first and second heating films meet the heating conditions, the first and second heating films are controlled to heat at a higher output power (e.g., rated power), thereby improving the speed of temperature control.

[0074] S504: If the first preset temperature value is greater than the first temperature value, and the difference is less than or equal to the preset temperature difference, then the second temperature control strategy is executed.

[0075] The flowchart for executing the first temperature control strategy is as follows: Figure 7As shown, when executing the second temperature control strategy, if the second temperature value T2 is less than or equal to the second preset temperature value D, a second control signal is output to control the first heating film to be in a heating state; otherwise, a second control signal is output to control the first heating film to be in a closed state. If the third temperature value T3 is less than or equal to the second preset temperature value D, a second control signal is output to control the second heating film to be in a heating state; otherwise, a second control signal is output to control the second heating film to be in a closed state. The second control signal is used to adjust the output power of the first heating film or the second heating film.

[0076] After executing the second temperature control strategy, the first, second, and third temperature sensors detect the corresponding temperature values ​​at preset time intervals, and then determine the corresponding temperature control strategy again, thereby achieving real-time control of the culture medium temperature. For example, if the conditions of the second temperature control strategy are still met, the second temperature control strategy continues to be executed; if the conditions of the first temperature control strategy are met, the first temperature control strategy is executed.

[0077] A second temperature control strategy is typically employed during the cultivation process, where the temperature fluctuation of the culture medium is relatively small. Therefore, the output power of the first or second heating film is adjusted by a second control signal to achieve slower heating of the culture medium, thereby improving the accuracy of temperature control.

[0078] In some embodiments, the output power of the first heating film or the second heating film decreases as the difference between the first preset temperature value and the first temperature value decreases. Specifically, the second control signal is determined by the following formula:

[0079] y=P[(b*S-T1)+1 / (I*q)*(S-T1)+D*q / (a*D*q+1)*(c*S-T1)]

[0080] Where y represents the control signal value, P represents the proportional gain, I represents the integral action time, D represents the derivative action time, q represents the Laplace operator, S represents the first preset temperature value, T1 represents the first temperature value, a represents the derivative delay coefficient, b represents the proportional action weight, and c represents the derivative action weight.

[0081] According to the above formula, as the temperature of the culture medium gradually rises during the heating process, the difference between the first preset temperature value and the first temperature value gradually decreases, and at the same time, the control signal value also gradually decreases. Thus, the accuracy of temperature control gradually improves during the temperature control process, so as to achieve more precise temperature control.

[0082] S506: If the first preset temperature value is less than or equal to the first temperature value, then execute the third temperature control strategy.

[0083] The flowchart for executing the first temperature control strategy is as follows: Figure 8 As shown, if the temperature of the culture medium is too high, and the first preset temperature value S is less than or equal to the first temperature value T1, then when the third temperature control strategy is executed, a third control signal is output to control the first heating film and the second heating film to be in the closed state.

[0084] After executing the third temperature control strategy, the first, second, and third temperature sensors detect the corresponding temperature values ​​at preset time intervals, and then determine the corresponding temperature control strategy again, thereby achieving real-time control of the culture medium temperature. For example, if the conditions of the third temperature control strategy are still met, the third temperature control strategy continues to be executed; if the conditions of the first temperature control strategy are met, the first temperature control strategy is executed.

[0085] In one example embodiment, a 50L turbulent flow bioreactor was used to culture CHO cells, and the temperature control process was as follows:

[0086] ① Add culture medium to the 50L turbulent bioreactor culture bag, and then set the first preset temperature value S of the culture medium to 37℃ (based on the actual cultured cells) and the preset temperature difference value F to 0.4℃ (based on the actual culture volume) through the reactor host computer. Set the rotation speed of the turbulent bioreactor to 35rpm, and then switch the temperature control and rotation speed control to automatic mode and start the turbulent bioreactor.

[0087] ② Due to the newly added culture medium, the first temperature value T1 of the culture medium is 25℃. According to the formula E=S-T1, E=12℃, E>0 and E>F. At this time, the second temperature value T2 of the first heating film and the third temperature value T3 of the second heating film are obtained. When T2<45℃, the first control signal is output to turn on the first heating film; otherwise, the first control signal is output to turn off the first heating film. Similarly, when T3<45℃, the first control signal is output to turn on the second heating film; otherwise, the first control signal is output to turn off the second heating film.

[0088] ③ When the first temperature value T1 of the culture medium gradually rises to between 36.6℃ and 37℃, according to the formula E=S-T1, E<=0.4℃, E>0 and E<=F. At this time, the PID controller outputs the second control signal. When the PID controller has a pulse width output, the second temperature value T2 of the first heating film and the third temperature value T3 of the second heating film are checked. When T2<45℃, the second control signal is output to turn on the first heating film; otherwise, the second control signal is output to turn off the first heating film. Similarly, when T3<45℃, the second control signal is output to turn on the second heating film; otherwise, the second control signal is output to turn off the second heating film.

[0089] ④ When the first temperature value T1 of the culture medium rises to 37℃ or above 37.0℃, according to the formula E=S-T1, E<=0℃, at this time the third control signal is output to shut down the first heating film and the second heating film.

[0090] ⑤ As the first and second heating films are closed, the first temperature value T1 of the culture medium will gradually decrease to between 36.6℃ and 37.0℃. At this time, the temperature will be adjusted according to the control logic in ③.

[0091] ⑥ When new culture medium is added to the reactor culture bag during the culture process, the first temperature value T1 of the culture medium will decrease. If the first temperature value T1 of the culture medium decreases to below 36.6℃, the control logic will be adjusted according to ②; if the first temperature value T1 of the culture medium decreases to between 36.6℃ and 37.0℃, the control logic will be adjusted according to ③.

[0092] ⑦ When the culture is finished, turn off the start signal of the equipment, stop temperature adjustment, and stop heating the first and second heating films.

[0093] It should be understood that although the steps in the flowchart above are shown sequentially as indicated by the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless explicitly stated herein, there is no strict order restriction on the execution of these steps, and they can be executed in other orders. Moreover, at least some steps in the flowchart above may include multiple steps or multiple stages. These steps or stages are not necessarily completed at the same time, but can be executed at different times. The execution order of these steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but can be performed alternately or in turn with other steps or at least some of the steps or stages in other steps.
