[0021] The side end of the sliding hollow micro pumping seat 154 is fastened to the shell, and a connecting frame plate 156 is installed inside the shell. A small driving servo motor 157 is installed at the top and bottom ends of the connecting frame plate 156. The output end of the small driving servo motor 157 is connected to a small rotating gear 158. The small rotating gear 158 is arranged in two groups, and there is a distance difference between the two groups of small rotating gears 158.

[0022] The bottom end of one group of small rotating teeth 158 is meshedly connected with the inner rotating teeth 159, and the top end of the other group of small rotating teeth 158 is meshedly connected with the outer rotating teeth 1590.

[0025] In a specific solution, the support frame 1 provides stable support for the entire device, and then the reactor body 2 is installed thereon, and the vertical magnetic suspension linear guide rail 5 is installed on the side wall of the reactor body 2. The magnetic suspension technology is used to reduce friction and achieve high-precision linear motion. A plurality of sets of magnetically driven contactless valves 4 are installed on the surface of the vertical magnetic suspension linear guide rail 5, so that the opening and closing are controlled by magnetic drive without mechanical contact, thereby reducing the risk of wear and contamination. The sliding position seat 11 can slide freely on the vertical magnetic suspension linear guide rail 5 for positioning and installing other structures. The double guide slide column 10 is fixed to the side end of the support frame 1 to provide stable guidance for the automatic feeding control component 9 to ensure its accuracy and stability during the up and down movement. The integrated online sensor group monitors various parameters inside the reactor body 2 in real time, such as temperature, pH value, dissolved oxygen, biomass, etc., to provide data support for subsequent feeding control. When the integrated online sensor group detects that the parameters in the reactor body 2 deviate from the preset range, such as the substrate concentration decreases, the pH value changes, etc., the feeding automatic control component 9 is started. The feeding automatic control component 9 moves to a suitable position along the double guide slide column 10 according to the sensor data, and cooperates with the magnetically driven contactless valve 4 on the vertical magnetic suspension linear guide rail 5 through the sliding position seat 11 to control the entry path of the material. After the material is accurately measured and distributed by the directional material feeding component 15, it is transported to the reactor body 2 to complete the automatic feeding process. At the same time, The line sensor group collects data in real time and transmits it to the external PLC controller through AI. The external PLC controller analyzes the data through the AI ​​algorithm and determines the current reaction state. If it is detected that the nutrient concentration in a certain area is insufficient, the external PLC controller drives the vertical magnetic suspension linear guide rail 5 to move the sliding position seat 11 to the target area, and controls the opening of the feed pipe 155 through the magnetic drive non-contact valve 4. At the same time, the annular flexible guide rail 150 is installed inside the reactor body 2, and the bottom end thereof is internally rotated to connect the annular material pipe 153 so that the annular material pipe 153 can rotate around the central axis of the annular flexible guide rail 150. The annular material pipe 153 is used to store and transport materials, and its side end is connected to the rotary valve 151 and the metering feeder 152. The metering feeder 152 is connected to the feeder 155. The material is accurately measured according to the preset feed amount, and then the measured material is conveyed to the annular material pipe 153 through the rotary valve 151. The conveying pipe 155 connected to the top wall surface of the annular material pipe 153 conveys the material to the sliding hollow micro pumping seat 154. The small driving servo motors 157 on the top and bottom of the side of the sliding hollow micro pumping seat 154 are started respectively, and the output ends thereof drive the small rotating teeth 158 to rotate. The two groups of small rotating teeth 158 are respectively meshed with the inner rotating teeth 159 and the outer rotating teeth 1590. Since there is a distance difference between the two groups of small rotating teeth 158, when one group or the other group of small rotating teeth 158 rotates, the inner rotating teeth 159 and the outer rotating teeth 1590 can be driven to rotate in different directions respectively, and the inner rotating teeth 159 drive the inner rotating rod 1593 to rotate.The inner rotating rod 1593 is connected to the first bevel gear 1595, so that the first bevel gear 1595 rotates, the first bevel gear 1595 meshes with the second bevel gear 1596, and the power is transmitted to the second bevel gear 1596. The outer rotating gear 1590 drives the outer connecting rod 1592 to rotate, and the second bevel gear 1596 is connected to the outer connecting rod 1592 to form a rotation adjustment. At the same time, the bottom end of the second bevel gear 1596 is connected to the metering feeding conduit 1598. Driven by the second bevel gear 1596, the metering feeding conduit 1598 rotates, thereby realizing The quantitative delivery of materials is realized, and the microfluidic chip delivery rack end 1597 is connected to the sliding hollow micro pumping seat 154 through a flexible telescopic catheter. The microfluidic chip can process and distribute the materials more finely, realize the micro-amount and precise delivery of materials, and the whole can form an adjustment in direction and angle according to the layered gradient of different reactants inside the reactor body 2, so that the metering feeding conduit 1598 can adjust the parameters of different areas inside the reactor body 2 monitored by the sensor group, such as uneven distribution of biomass, substrate concentration at different depths, etc. Differences, etc., can accurately deliver materials to the required position. For example, when cultivating specific microorganisms in the reactor body 2, the microorganisms in the bottom area may have different requirements for nutrients from those in the upper area due to different growth environments and metabolic activities. As a result, the metering feeding conduit 1598 can accurately deliver the appropriate amount of nutrients to the bottom area by adjusting the orientation and angle to meet the growth needs of microorganisms and improve the efficiency and product quality of the biological reaction. In addition, the microfluidic chip delivery rack end 1597 is connected to the sliding hollow micro pumping seat 154, which is convenient for the microfluidic chip to perform micro-quantity processing and distribution of materials. When the metering feeding conduit 1598 delivers materials, it can not only control the delivery position, but also realize micro-amount and precise delivery of materials, making the material delivery position more accurate, which is beneficial to improve the uniformity and stability of the biological reaction in the complex biological reaction process, flexibly and actively adjust the feeding reaction, quickly respond to changes in the biological reaction process, avoid reaction failure or product quality degradation due to parameter loss of control, and adapt to diversified production needs.

[0026] Embodiment 2: According to Figure 1 - Figure 3 As shown, the automatic feeding control component 9 includes a variable frequency controlled motor 91, the side end of the variable frequency controlled motor 91 is connected to a barrel 92 through a transmission, a feeding end 94 is opened at the top end of the barrel 92, and the feeding end 94 is connected to an external multi-channel storage tank. An in-situ hydrogen peroxide sterilizer 93 is installed on the top wall surface of the barrel 92, and a metering guide 97 is installed on the bottom of the side end of the barrel 92.

[0027] A sliding link 96 is installed at the bottom of the barrel 92, and the sliding link 96 is located in the external sliding connection of the double guide slide column 10. An electromagnetic guide rod 98 is installed at the side end of the sliding link 96. The side end of the electromagnetic guide rod 98 is inserted through the metering guide 97 and is connected to a pushing plate 99. A discharge valve 990 is installed at the bottom of the metering guide 97. The side end surface of the metering guide 97 is connected to an automatic docking guide groove 991, and the output end of the frequency conversion control motor 91 is connected to a spiral pushing structure 95.

[0028] In a specific solution, an external multi-channel storage tank is connected to the barrel 92 through a feed end 94, and different types of materials are transported into the barrel 92, while an in-situ hydrogen peroxide sterilizer 93 disinfects and sterilizes the internal space of the barrel 92 and the materials to ensure that the materials entering the bioreactor are in a sterile state, providing a pure environment for subsequent biological reactions. When the integrated online sensor group detects that the parameters in the reactor body 2 deviate from the preset range, such as a decrease in substrate concentration, a change in pH value, etc., the automatic feed control component 9 is triggered to start, that is, the variable frequency control motor 91 starts to work, and its output end drives the spiral pusher structure 95 to rotate. The spiral pusher structure 95 pushes the material in the barrel 92 along the barrel wall to the bottom. When the material is pushed to the metering guide 97, the metering guide 97 accurately meters the material according to the preset feed amount. At this time, the electromagnetic guide rod 98 pushes the pusher plate 99 after receiving the instruction of the external PLC controller, and the measured material passes through the discharge valve 99 0 is pushed to the automatic docking guide groove 991, and the automatic docking guide groove 991 cooperates with the sliding position seat 11 and the magnetically driven contactless valve 4 on the vertical magnetic suspension linear guide rail 5 to transport the material to the metering feeder 152. At the same time, the sliding link 96 slides on the double guide slide column 10, and by adjusting its own position, the feeding automatic control component 9 can be aligned with the magnetically driven contactless valve 4 at different positions to realize the transportation of materials at different heights or areas, and the extension and contraction of the electromagnetic guide rod 98 can also flexibly control the position and pushing force of the push plate 99 according to actual needs to ensure the accurate transportation of materials. By setting an in-situ hydrogen peroxide sterilizer 93 as a whole, disinfection is carried out in real time during the material storage and transportation process to prevent microbial contamination of materials, thereby improving production efficiency, while ensuring the sterile environment in the bioreactor, reducing the risk of biological reaction failure, and being able to accurately adjust the feed amount according to the real-time reaction situation in the reactor body 2 under the detection of the integrated online sensor group.

[0029] Embodiment 3: According to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the bottom of the reactor body 2 is connected to an exhaust valve pipe 6, the side end of the exhaust valve pipe 6 is connected to a micro worm gear 7, the side end of the micro worm gear 7 and an external piezoelectric ceramic pump are connected in a closed loop through a line, and the external piezoelectric ceramic pump is used to form a connection with an external multi-channel storage tank.

[0032] The output end of the fine-tuning cylinder 13 is connected to the feed valve end 14 , and the top and bottom ends of the sliding position seat 11 are both installed with laser position sensors 12 .

[0033] In a specific scheme, when the pressure in the reactor body 2 reaches a certain threshold, the exhaust valve pipe 6 opens, causing the micro worm gear 7 to rotate under the action of the gas flow, and its rotation signal is transmitted to the external piezoelectric ceramic pump through the line. The external piezoelectric ceramic pump adjusts the working state according to the signal, extracts the gas from the reactor body 2, and maintains the pressure balance in the reactor body 2. At the same time, the external piezoelectric ceramic pump can also process or recycle the extracted gas. When a biological reaction is completed or the reactor body 2 needs to be maintained, the cleaning operation is started, and the external cleaning mister sprays the cleaning liquid mist into the reactor body 2 through the cleaning connecting mist pipe 3, so that the cleaning liquid mist can evenly cover every corner inside the reactor, and the inner wall and internal components of the reactor body 2 are cleaned. Cleaning is performed to remove residual materials, biological residues, etc., to ensure the cleanliness of the reactor and prepare for the next reaction. When the biological reaction is completed and the reaction product needs to be discharged, the discharge guide valve pipe 8 is opened, and the reaction product is discharged from the reactor body 2 through the discharge guide valve pipe 8 and enters the subsequent processing link. When the above-mentioned sliding position seat 11 slides on the vertical magnetic suspension linear guide rail 5, its position is monitored in real time by the laser position sensor 12 to ensure that it reaches the target position accurately, so that the fine-tuning cylinder 13 fine-tunes the position of the docking feed valve end 14 according to the feedback information of the laser position sensor 12, so that it is accurately docked with the magnetically driven contactless valve 4, thereby facilitating the material to enter the reactor body 2 through the docking feed valve end 14 and the magnetically driven contactless valve 4.

Therefore, the control method and wiring layout of the in-situ hydrogen peroxide sterilizer 93, the laser position sensor 12, the small drive servo motor 157 and the microfluidic chip delivery rack end 1597 will not be explained in detail.

[0035] The method of using the device and the working principle are as follows: first, the integrated online sensor group monitors various parameters inside the reactor body 2 in real time, such as temperature, pH value, dissolved oxygen, biomass, etc., to provide data support for subsequent feeding control. When the integrated online sensor group detects that the parameters in the reactor body 2 deviate from the preset range, such as the substrate concentration decreases, the pH value changes, etc., the feeding automatic control component 9 is started, and the feeding automatic control component 9 moves to a suitable position along the double guide slide column 10 according to the sensor data, and uses the laser position sensor 12 to monitor its position in real time to ensure that it reaches the target position accurately, so that the fine-tuning cylinder 13 drives the magnetic force drive on the vertical magnetic suspension linear guide 5 through the sliding position seat 11 according to the feedback information of the laser position sensor 12. The contact valve 4 cooperates to control the entry path of the material, so that the external multi-channel storage tank is connected to the barrel 92 through the feed end 94, and different types of materials are transported into the barrel 92, and the in-situ hydrogen peroxide sterilizer 93 disinfects and sterilizes the internal space of the barrel 92 and the materials to ensure that the materials entering the bioreactor are in a sterile state, providing a pure environment for subsequent biological reactions. When the integrated online sensor group monitors that the parameters in the reactor body 2 deviate from the preset range, such as the decrease in substrate concentration, the change in pH value, etc., the feed automatic control component 9 is triggered to start, that is, the frequency conversion control motor 91 starts to work, and its output end drives the spiral pusher structure 95 to rotate, and the spiral pusher structure 95 pushes the material in the barrel 92 along the barrel wall to the bottom, and the material is pushed to the metering When the guide 97 is moved, the metering guide 97 accurately meters the material according to the preset feed amount. At this time, the electromagnetic guide rod 98 pushes the push plate 99 after receiving the command of the external PLC controller, and pushes the measured material to the automatic docking guide groove 991 through the discharge valve 990. The automatic docking guide groove 991 cooperates with the sliding position seat 11 and the magnetically driven non-contact valve 4 on the vertical magnetic suspension linear guide rail 5 to transport the material to the metering feeder 152. At the same time, the sliding link 96 slides on the double guide slide column 10. By adjusting its own position, the automatic feed control component 9 can align with the magnetically driven non-contact valve 4 at different positions to realize the transportation of materials at different heights or areas, and the extension and retraction of the electromagnetic guide rod 98 can also be adjusted according to actual needs. , flexibly control the position and pushing force of the push plate 99 to ensure accurate material transportation. After the material is accurately measured and distributed by the directional material feeding component 15, it is transported to the reactor body 2 to complete the automatic feeding process. At the same time, the online sensor group collects data in real time and transmits it to the external PLC controller through AI. The external PLC controller analyzes the data through the AI ​​algorithm and determines the current reaction state. If it is detected that the nutrient concentration in a certain area is insufficient, the external PLC controller drives the vertical magnetic suspension linear guide rail 5 to move the sliding position seat 11 to the target area, and controls the opening of the feed pipe 155 through the magnetic drive non-contact valve 4. At the same time, the annular flexible guide rail 150 is installed inside the reactor body 2, and its bottom end is internally rotated to connect the annular material pipe 153.The annular material pipe 153 can rotate around the central axis of the annular flexible guide rail 150. The annular material pipe 153 is used to store and transport materials. The side end of the annular material pipe 153 is connected to the rotary valve 151 and the metering feeder 152. The metering feeder 152 accurately meters the material according to the preset feed amount, and then transports the metered material to the annular material pipe 153 through the rotary valve 151. The feeding pipe 155 connected to the top wall surface of the annular material pipe 153 transports the material to the sliding hollow micro pumping seat 154. The small driving servo motors 157 on the top and bottom of the side of the sliding hollow micro pumping seat 154 are started respectively, and the output end thereof drives the small rotating gear 158 to rotate. The two groups of small rotating gears 158 are respectively engaged with the inner rotating gear 159 and the outer rotating gear 1590. There is a distance difference between the teeth 158. When one group or the other group of small rotating teeth 158 rotates, the inner rotating teeth 159 and the outer rotating teeth 1590 can be driven to rotate in different directions respectively. The inner rotating teeth 159 drive the inner rotating rod 1593 to rotate. The inner rotating rod 1593 is connected to the first bevel gear 1595, so that the first bevel gear 1595 rotates. The first bevel gear 1595 is meshed with the second bevel gear 1596 to transmit power to the second bevel gear 1596. The outer rotating teeth 1590 drive the outer connecting rod 1592 to rotate. The second bevel gear 1596 is connected to the outer connecting rod 1592 to form a rotation adjustment. At the same time, the bottom end of the second bevel gear 1596 is connected to the metering feeding conduit 1598. Driven by the second bevel gear 1596, the metering feeding conduit 1598 is fed into the feed tube 1598. The microfluidic chip feeding rack end 1597 is connected to the sliding hollow micro pumping seat 154 through a flexible telescopic catheter. The microfluidic chip can process and distribute the material more finely to achieve trace and accurate material feeding. The whole can form azimuth and angle adjustments according to the layered gradient of different reactants inside the reactor body 2, so that the metering feeding conduit 1598 can accurately deliver the material to the required position according to the parameter changes in different areas of the reactor body 2 monitored by the sensor group, such as uneven distribution of biomass and differences in substrate concentration at different depths. For example, when cultivating specific microorganisms in the reactor body 2, the microorganisms in the bottom area may have different growth environments and metabolic activities. , the demand for nutrients is different from that in the upper area, so that the metering feed conduit 1598 can accurately deliver the right amount of nutrients to the bottom area by adjusting the direction and angle to meet the growth needs of microorganisms. When the pressure in the reactor body 2 reaches a certain threshold, the exhaust valve pipe 6 opens, so that the micro worm gear 7 rotates under the action of gas flow, and its rotation signal is transmitted to the external piezoelectric ceramic pump through the line. The external piezoelectric ceramic pump adjusts the working state according to the signal, extracts the gas from the reactor body 2, and maintains the pressure balance in the reactor body 2. At the same time, the external piezoelectric ceramic pump can also process or recycle the extracted gas. When a biological reaction is completed or the reactor body 2 needs to be maintained, the cleaning operation is started.The external cleaning mist sprays the cleaning liquid mist into the reactor body 2 through the cleaning connecting mist pipe 3, so that the cleaning liquid mist can evenly cover every corner inside the reactor, clean the inner wall and internal components of the reactor body 2, remove residual materials, biological residues, etc., ensure the cleanliness of the reactor, and prepare for the next reaction. When the biological reaction is over and the reaction product needs to be discharged, the discharge guide valve pipe 8 is opened, and the reaction product is discharged from the reactor body 2 through the discharge guide valve pipe 8 and enters the subsequent processing link.
