[0002] In order to effectively reduce the endogenous pollution load of the river, thereby achieving the goal of improving water quality and habitat and promoting ecological restoration, the functional materials of slow-release oxygen, adsorption and catalytic redox are organically combined to design and synthesize a multifunctional water ecological restoration hydrogel oxygen-releasing material. The multifunctional water ecological restoration oxygen-releasing material with polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel as the base material is synthesized by the freeze-thaw-crosslinking method. The material has a strong decontamination effect and has less impact on the environment.

[0003] Chinese patent application publication number CN103788385A discloses a method for preparing hydrogel photonic crystal particles using a spray drying method, comprising: dispersing monodisperse colloidal particles in water to prepare a monodisperse colloidal particle emulsion; preparing a hydrogel solution, adding the hydrogel solution to the monodisperse colloidal particle emulsion to prepare a mixed emulsion; and pumping the mixed emulsion into a spray drying apparatus and spray drying it to prepare the hydrogel photonic crystal particles. This application utilizes water as a solvent in the mixed emulsion used as the spray drying raw material, reducing operational requirements, improving safety, and avoiding environmental pollution caused by the use of organic solvents. Due to the introduction of hydrogel into the mixed emulsion, the prepared hydrogel photonic crystal particles have biocompatibility and biodegradability, and the hydrogel material is easily modified, making the application of hydrogel photonic crystals more extensive. Since the hydrogel photonic crystal particles are prepared by spray drying, this application can be mass-produced, improving production efficiency.

[0067] See also Figure 2 As shown, it is a flow chart of the complete production method of hydrogel particles according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0068] Another aspect of the present invention provides a complete production method for hydrogel particles, comprising:

[0069] Step S1, obtaining oxygen concentration data and humidity data detected by a detection mechanism;

[0070] Step S2, determining whether a single freeze-thaw cycle is qualified based on the single-cycle oxygen concentration difference of the oxygen concentration data;

[0071] Step S3, based on the condition that a single freeze-thaw cycle is qualified, determining whether the structure of the hydrogel is stable according to the concentration difference change characterizing parameter after three freeze-thaw cycles, and adjusting the freezing time or drying time according to the difference between the concentration difference change characterizing parameter and a preset concentration difference change characterizing parameter;

[0073] Step S5: adjusting the temperature of the freezing chamber or the drying chamber based on the ratio of the humidity change rate to the preset humidity change rate or adjusting the fan speed based on the relative difference between the humidity change rate and the preset humidity change rate.

[0074] Specifically, the present invention injects the aqueous dispersion into the mold through the glue injection mechanism, the pushing mechanism sends the mold into the freezing chamber and the drying chamber in sequence for freeze-thaw cycle treatment, the pulling mechanism pulls out the treated mold, and the detection mechanism monitors the oxygen concentration and humidity data in real time to determine whether the freeze-thaw cycle is qualified and whether the hydrogel structure is stable. If an abnormality is found, the freezing time, drying time, single chamber temperature or fan speed are adjusted to optimize the working state of the environmental chamber, improve the freeze-thaw cycle treatment effect, ensure the stability of the hydrogel structure, and improve the efficiency and quality of hydrogel preparation.

[0075] See also Figure 3 As shown, it is a flow chart of determining whether a single freeze-thaw cycle is qualified according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0076] Specifically, the oxygen analysis module determines whether a single freeze-thaw cycle is qualified based on a comparison result of a single-cycle oxygen concentration difference of the oxygen concentration data and a preset single-cycle oxygen concentration difference;

[0077] If the single-cycle oxygen concentration difference is less than or equal to the preset single-cycle oxygen concentration difference, it is determined that the single freeze-thaw cycle is qualified;

[0078] If the single-cycle oxygen concentration difference is greater than the preset single-cycle oxygen concentration difference, it is determined that the single freeze-thaw cycle is unqualified.

[0079] In the embodiment of the present invention, the preset single-cycle oxygen concentration difference is 0.5%. The preset single-cycle oxygen concentration difference is obtained when the maximum value of the single-cycle oxygen concentration differences of several single freeze-thaw cycles that have passed the test is taken. However, the above value is not limited to this. Those skilled in the art can also adjust the value according to actual needs.

[0080] During implementation, the single-cycle oxygen concentration difference is the absolute value of the difference between the oxygen concentration at the end of the single cycle and the oxygen concentration at the beginning of the single cycle.

[0081] See also Figure 4 As shown, it is a flow chart of determining whether the structure of the hydrogel is stable according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0082] Specifically, the data processing module determines whether the structure of the hydrogel is stable based on the comparison result of the concentration difference change characterizing parameter after three freeze-thaw cycles and the preset concentration difference change characterizing parameter under the condition that a single freeze-thaw cycle is qualified;

[0083] If the concentration difference change characterizing parameter is less than or equal to the preset concentration difference change characterizing parameter, it is determined that the structure of the hydrogel is stable;

[0084] If the concentration difference change characterizing parameter is greater than the preset concentration difference change characterizing parameter, it is determined that the structure of the hydrogel is unstable.

[0085] In an embodiment of the present invention, the preset concentration difference change characterization parameter is 0.25. The preset concentration difference change characterization parameter is obtained when the concentration difference change characterization parameter of the structural stability of several historical hydrogels takes the maximum value, but the above value is not limited to this. Those skilled in the art can also adjust the value according to actual needs.

[0086] During implementation, the concentration difference variation characterizing parameter is the absolute value of the difference between the third cycle oxygen concentration difference and the first cycle oxygen concentration difference divided by the first cycle oxygen concentration difference.

[0087] Specifically, the present invention compares the oxygen concentration difference of a single cycle with the oxygen concentration difference of a single cycle, and when a single freeze-thaw cycle is qualified, compares the concentration difference change characterizing parameter after three freeze-thaw cycles with the preset concentration difference change characterizing parameter, thereby improving the quality of the hydrogel and the production efficiency, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the freeze-thaw cycle process.

[0088] Specifically, under the condition that the structure of the hydrogel is determined to be unstable, the data processing module determines the adjustment of the freezing time or the drying time based on the comparison result of the difference between the concentration difference change characterizing parameter and the preset concentration difference change characterizing parameter and the preset difference.

[0089] If the difference is less than or equal to the preset difference, it is determined to increase the freezing time of the freezing chamber to a corresponding value using the preset freezing time adjustment coefficient of 1.05;

[0090] If the difference is greater than the preset difference, it is determined that the drying time of the drying chamber is reduced to a corresponding value using a preset drying time adjustment coefficient of 0.98;

[0091] The difference is the difference between the concentration difference change characterizing parameter and the preset concentration difference change characterizing parameter.

[0092] In the embodiment of the present invention, the preset difference value is 0.12, but the above value is not limited thereto, and those skilled in the art may also adjust the value according to actual needs.

[0093] In the embodiment of the present invention, the increased freezing time is the product of the freezing time and the preset freezing time adjustment coefficient. The preset freezing time adjustment coefficient is 1.05; the reduced drying time is the product of the preset drying time adjustment coefficient and the drying time. The preset drying time adjustment coefficient is 0.98. In order to ensure that the adjusted freezing time and drying time meet actual needs, the adjustment range should not be too large, so the adjustment coefficient is set accordingly to control the adjustment range.

[0094] The humidity analysis module determines whether the humidity uniformity of the single freeze-thaw cycle is qualified according to a comparison result of the humidity gradient value of the humidity data and the humidity gradient threshold value under the condition that the single freeze-thaw cycle is determined to be unqualified;

[0095] If the humidity gradient value is less than or equal to the humidity gradient threshold, it is determined that the humidity uniformity of the single freeze-thaw cycle is qualified;

[0096] If the humidity gradient value is greater than the humidity gradient threshold, it is determined that the humidity uniformity of the single freeze-thaw cycle is unqualified.

[0097] In an embodiment of the present invention, the humidity gradient threshold is 10%. The humidity gradient threshold is obtained by taking the average of several historical humidity gradient values ​​that meet the humidity uniformity requirements. However, the above value is not limited to this. Those skilled in the art can also adjust the value according to actual needs.

[0098] During implementation, the humidity gradient value is the ratio of the sum of the difference between the maximum humidity and the minimum humidity at different locations in the drying room or freezing room divided by the average humidity value to the number of locations.

[0099] Specifically, the humidity analysis module determines that the humidity uniformity of a single freeze-thaw cycle is unqualified, and determines the humidity unqualified room according to the comparison result of the humidity change rate of the humidity data and the preset humidity change rate;

[0100] If the humidity change rate is less than or equal to the preset humidity change rate, determining that the humidity in the single room is unqualified;

[0101] If the humidity change rate is greater than the preset humidity change rate, it is determined that the humidity in both chambers is unqualified.

[0102] In the embodiment of the present invention, the preset humidity change rate is 1% / min, but the above value is not limited thereto, and those skilled in the art may also adjust the value according to actual needs.

[0103] During implementation, the humidity change rate is the ratio of the humidity change to the time interval.

[0104] In the embodiment of the present invention, the unqualified humidity in a single chamber refers to the unqualified humidity in one of the freezing chamber or the drying chamber, and the unqualified humidity in both chambers refers to the unqualified humidity in both the freezing chamber and the drying chamber.

[0105] Specifically, the present invention improves the accuracy and specificity of the preparation and avoids affecting the performance and quality of the hydrogel due to uneven humidity problems by adjusting the freezing time or drying time according to the difference between the concentration difference change characterizing parameter and the preset concentration difference change characterizing parameter when the hydrogel structure is unstable, and judging the humidity uniformity according to the humidity gradient value when a single freeze-thaw cycle fails, and judging the humidity unqualified chamber according to the humidity change rate when it fails.

[0106] Specifically, the data adjustment module determines to adjust the temperature of the single chamber according to a comparison result of the ratio of the humidity change rate to the preset humidity change rate and the preset ratio under the condition that the humidity of the single chamber is determined to be unqualified;

[0107] If the ratio is less than or equal to the preset ratio, it is determined to reduce the freezing temperature of the freezing chamber to a corresponding value using a preset freezing temperature adjustment coefficient of 0.95;

[0108] If the ratio is greater than the preset ratio, it is determined to increase the drying temperature of the drying chamber to a corresponding value using a preset drying temperature adjustment coefficient of 1.07;

[0109] The ratio is the ratio of the humidity change rate to the preset humidity change rate.

[0110] In the embodiment of the present invention, the preset ratio is 0.85, but the above value is not limited thereto, and those skilled in the art may also adjust the value according to actual needs.

[0111] In an embodiment of the present invention, the reduced freezing temperature is the product of the freezing temperature and the preset freezing temperature adjustment coefficient, and the preset freezing temperature adjustment coefficient is 0.95; the increased drying temperature is the product of the drying temperature and the preset drying temperature adjustment coefficient, and the preset drying temperature adjustment coefficient is 1.07. In order to ensure that the adjusted freezing temperature and drying temperature meet actual needs, the adjustment range should not be too large, so the corresponding adjustment coefficient is set to control the adjustment range.

[0112] Specifically, the data adjustment module determines to adjust the fan speed according to the comparison result of the relative difference between the humidity change rate and the preset humidity change rate and the preset relative difference when it is determined that the humidity in both chambers is unqualified;

[0113] If the relative difference is less than or equal to the preset relative difference, determining to increase the fan speed to a corresponding value using a first preset speed adjustment coefficient of 1.12;

[0114] If the relative difference is greater than the preset relative difference, determining to increase the fan speed to a corresponding value using a second preset speed adjustment coefficient of 1.16;

[0115] The relative difference is the relative difference between the humidity change rate and the preset humidity change rate.

[0116] In the embodiment of the present invention, the preset relative difference value is 0.3, but the above value is not limited thereto, and those skilled in the art may also adjust the value according to actual needs.

[0117] In an embodiment of the present invention, the increased fan speed is the product of the fan speed and the preset speed adjustment coefficient. The preset speed adjustment coefficient includes a first preset speed adjustment coefficient, which has a value of 1.12 and a second preset speed adjustment coefficient, which has a value of 1.16. The fan speed includes a freezing rate and a drying rate. In order to ensure that the adjusted fan speed meets actual needs, the adjustment range should not be too large, so the corresponding adjustment coefficient is set to control the adjustment range.

[0118] Specifically, the present invention adjusts the freezing temperature or drying temperature according to the ratio of the humidity change rate to the preset humidity change rate when the humidity in a single chamber is unqualified; and adjusts the fan speed according to the relative difference between the humidity change rate and the preset humidity change rate when the humidity in both chambers is unqualified, thereby reducing the impact of humidity fluctuations on the performance of the hydrogel and improving the stability and consistency of the hydrogel quality.
