Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fermenter technology, and relates to a fermenter for CHO cell culture, particularly a fermenter for CHO cell culture that is easy to clean and disinfect. Background Technology

[0002] Bio-fermentation engineering is an important component of bioengineering, where microorganisms utilize carbohydrates to ferment and produce various industrial solvents and chemical raw materials. Ethanol, acetone-butanol, butanol-isopropanol, acetone-ethanol, 2,3-butanediol, and glycerol fermentation are some forms of solvent fermentation by microorganisms. Bioengineering has a wide range of applications, including agriculture, industry, medicine, pharmacology, energy, environmental protection, metallurgy, and chemical raw materials. Fermentation engineering originated from home-based or workshop-style fermentation (agricultural handicrafts), later borrowing from chemical engineering to achieve industrialized production (modern fermentation engineering), and finally returning to its roots by focusing on the life activities of microorganisms to study, design, and guide industrial fermentation production (modern fermentation engineering), thus entering the realm of bioengineering.

[0003] Currently, biological fermentation is generally carried out in fermenters. During the operation of the fermenter, the material inside the fermenter will adhere to the inner wall of the fermenter. In the existing technology, the fermentation equipment needs to be cleaned and disinfected after fermentation in order to carry out the next fermentation. Generally, a cleaning ball is used to spray the inside of the fermenter with high pressure. However, the spraying position of the cleaning ball is limited, and it is impossible to spray the inner wall of the fermenter evenly. This results in the need for continuous spraying of the inner wall of the fermenter for a long time to clean it. Moreover, the spraying cannot remove all the residues. The existing method is to inject cleaning solution for cleaning and disinfection, which still requires a lot of time. Therefore, we propose a fermenter for CHO cell culture that can be cleaned and disinfected quickly. Summary of the Invention

The rotating tube drives the arc-shaped nozzle to flip, which can uniformly spray the inner wall of the fermentation tank, reducing the time required for spraying and cleaning. The fermenter and wiping assembly work together. A water pipe delivers cleaning solution into the installation tube, which then moves the solution to the sealing sleeve. Water pressure causes the sealing sleeve to extend, pressing the wiping cotton against the inner wall of the fermenter. Cleaning solution is then injected into the wiping cotton through the water inlet. A rotary motor drives the installation tube via its output shaft, which in turn rotates the sealing sleeve, which in turn rotates the wiping cotton. The wiping cotton then wipes the inner wall of the fermenter, removing residue without requiring soaking and reducing the time needed for cleaning. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The switching component lowers the sealing plate 47, which in turn moves the spraying component into the fermentation tank 4. The spraying component rinses the inside of the fermentation tank 4. After rinsing, the switching component raises the sealing plate 47, which in turn rotates the spraying component, moving the U-shaped frame 20 above the fermentation tank 4. The sealing plate 47 then lowers the U-shaped frame 20, which in turn lowers the rotary motor 1. The rotary motor 1 lowers the mounting pipe 37, which in turn moves the sealing sleeve 38 into the fermentation tank 4. The sealing plate 47 then seals the fermentation tank 4. The water inlet pipe then... The cleaning solution is fed into the installation tube 37 and moves through the installation tube 37 to the inside of the sealing sleeve 38. The cleaning solution, driven by water pressure, causes the sealing sleeve 38 to extend. The extension of the sealing sleeve 38 causes the wiping cotton block 2 to come into contact with the inner wall of the fermenter 4. The cleaning solution is injected into the wiping cotton block 2 through the water injection hole. The rotary motor 1 drives the installation tube 37 to rotate through the output shaft. The installation tube 37 drives the sealing sleeve 38 to rotate, and the sealing sleeve 38 drives the wiping cotton block 2 to rotate.

[0033] Working principle of the invention: Two electric push rods 3 retract, causing the support plate 22 to descend. The support plate 22 causes the rotating disk 29 to descend, which in turn causes the sealing plate 47 to descend. The sealing plate 47 causes the mounting frame to move, which in turn causes the connecting pipe 25 to move. The connecting pipe 25 causes the rotating pipe 16 to move into the fermentation tank 4. The sealing plate 47 seals the opening 13 of the fermentation tank 4. The high-pressure water pipe injects the cleaning solution into the connecting pipe 25 through the connecting joint 19. The power motor 17 drives the drive bevel gear 18 to rotate through the output shaft. The drive bevel gear 18 drives the first driven bevel gear 26 and the second driven bevel gear 27 to rotate. The first driven bevel gear 26 drives the rotating pipe 16 to rotate, and the second driven bevel gear 27 drives the connecting pipe 25 to rotate. The connecting pipe 25 drives the rotating cylinder 35 and the two triangular arc blocks 44 to rotate. The rotating pipe 16 drives the annular cylinder 15 to rotate. Reverse rotation causes the annular cylinder 15 to move the rotating tube 42, which in turn moves the arc plate 46. The arc plate 46 then moves the two extrusion rods 45. When one of the extrusion rods 45 moves into the V-groove 36, it causes the arc plate 46 to flip. The arc plate 46 then rotates the rotating tube 42, which in turn flips the arc nozzle 14. The connecting pipe 25 delivers the cleaning fluid to the third-side rotary joint, which then delivers the cleaning fluid through the connecting pipe 33 to the spring hose 34. The spring hose 34 delivers the cleaning fluid to the rotating tube 42, which then delivers it to the arc nozzle 14. The arc nozzle 14 sprays the cleaning fluid onto the fermenter 4 through the spray nozzle, rinsing the inner wall of the fermenter 4. Wastewater is discharged into the treatment tank 8 through the discharge pipe 10. After rinsing, the two electric push rods 3 extend, causing the support plate 22 to rise. The support plate 22 then causes the rotating disk 29 to rise, which in turn causes the sealing plate 47 to rise. The sealing plate 47 causes the mounting frame to rise, which in turn causes the connecting pipe 25 to rise. The mounting frame and connecting pipe 25 move out of the fermentation tank 4. The switching motor 23 drives the rotating disk 29 to rotate via its output shaft. The rotating disk 29 then drives the sealing plate 47 to rotate, thereby moving the U-shaped frame 20 above the fermentation tank 4. The sealing plate 47 causes the U-shaped frame 20 to descend, which in turn causes the rotary motor 1 to descend. The rotary motor 1 then causes the mounting pipe 37 to descend, which in turn causes the sealing sleeve 38 to move into the fermentation tank 4. The sealing plate 47 then seals the fermentation tank 4. The water inlet pipe delivers the cleaning solution into the mounting pipe 37, and the cleaning solution moves through the mounting pipe 37 into the sealing sleeve 38. In the first part, the cleaning fluid, driven by water pressure, extends the sealing sleeve rod 38, causing the wiping cotton block 2 to contact the inner wall of the fermenter 4. The cleaning fluid is injected into the wiping cotton block 2 through the water injection hole. The rotary motor 1 drives the installation pipe 37 to rotate through the output shaft. The installation pipe 37 drives the sealing sleeve rod 38 to rotate, which in turn drives the wiping cotton block 2 to rotate. The wiping cotton block 2 wipes the inner wall of the fermenter 4. After wiping, the fermenter 4 discharges the wastewater into the treatment tank 8 through the discharge pipe 10. The metal mesh filter layer 32, the sand filter layer 30, and the activated carbon filter layer 28 inside the treatment tank 8 filter the wastewater in sequence. Then, the shut-off valve is opened, and the drain pipe 31 discharges the filtered wastewater. After that, the pressurization pipe 11 is opened to inject high-pressure steam into the fermenter 4. The high-pressure steam sterilizes the inside of the fermenter 4, completing the cleaning and sterilization process.
