[0030] In the following, certain example embodiments are simply described. As those skilled in the art can recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various different ways without departing from the spirit or scope of the embodiments of the present application. Therefore, the drawings and description are to be regarded as being illustrative in nature rather than restrictive. The following description is made in connection with the accompanying drawings and description of the preferred embodiments. Figure 1 The embodiments of the present application are described in detail.

[0031] Embodiment one: the embodiment discloses a freeze-dried particle intelligent production control system based on Internet of Things, comprising a multi-source sensing unit and a data processing unit connected with the multi-source sensing unit;

[0032] Among them, the multi-source sensing unit is deployed in the near-infrared spectrum sensor, optical fiber temperature sensor, vacuum degree sensor and visual camera of the freeze-drying equipment, which is used to collect material temperature gradient change rate, crystallinity data and vacuum fluctuation amplitude;

[0033] The data processing unit includes a mapping module, a decision module and an optimization module; the mapping module converts the collected data into a mass transfer resistance coefficient K, and the conversion process includes the following steps:

[0034] Step 1: according to the type of material formula, the weight factor combination of temperature gradient change rate, crystallinity logarithmic transformation value and vacuum fluctuation amplitude is selected;

[0035] Step 2: linearly superimpose the weighted temperature gradient change rate, crystallinity logarithmic transformation value and vacuum fluctuation amplitude to generate K value;

[0036] The decision module is used to trigger the reinforcement learning algorithm to adjust the freeze-drying process curve when the real-time K value exceeds the dynamic threshold; the optimization module is used to optimize the weight factor library by federated learning aggregation of historical K value, and drive digital twin simulation.

[0037] In this embodiment, the multi-source sensing unit transmits data to the mapping module, the decision module outputs control instructions to the freeze-drying equipment according to the K value, and the optimization module updates the weight factor library through federated learning.

[0038] Among them, the weight factor combination method is as follows: the weight of temperature gradient change rate in the material accounts for 40-70%, the crystallinity accounts for 20-50%, and the vacuum fluctuation accounts for 5-20%, and the dynamic threshold is automatically adjusted in the interval of 0.8-1.2 according to the freeze-drying stage.

[0039] In this embodiment, the weight of temperature gradient change rate in the material accounts for 60%, the crystallinity accounts for 30%, and the vacuum fluctuation accounts for 10%.

[0040] Among them, the mass transfer resistance coefficient K and the freeze-drying rate show strong negative correlation, the correlation coefficient is greater than or equal to 0.95, the calculation accuracy error is 3-5%, and the edge processing delay is 40-50ms.

[0041] In this embodiment, the calculation accuracy error is 4%, and the edge processing delay is 45 ms.

[0042] Among them, the decision module strengthens the learning temperature control strategy to approximate the target K value as the core optimization direction, and introduces an energy consumption penalty mechanism to adjust the temperature curve.

[0043] Further, the data processing unit further comprises a phase state adaptive module, which identifies a glass state transition region based on the spatial distribution relationship between crystallinity and temperature gradient, and automatically increases the weight proportion of crystallinity data in K value calculation when the glass state region proportion exceeds 15%.

[0044] The specific steps are as follows:

[0045] S101: Real-time acquisition of material temperature gradient change rate, crystallinity and vacuum fluctuation amplitude original data;

[0046] S102: According to the current material formula type, match the preset weight factor, and add the three element data to generate the mass transfer resistance coefficient K;

[0047] S103: Compare the real-time K value with the stage dynamic threshold value, if the K value is continuously over-standard, suppress the heating rate or compensate the vacuum degree through reinforcement learning, if the K value is continuously low, start the energy consumption optimization mode;

[0048] S104: Based on the historical K value data set federated learning optimization weight factor configuration rule.

[0049] Among them, the control logic of S103 is as follows: when the K value exceeds the upper limit of the threshold value for 3 minutes continuously, the cooling amplitude is linearly enhanced according to the exceeding proportion; when the K value is lower than the lower limit of the threshold value for 10 minutes, the vacuum compensation program is started, and the compensation amount is proportional to the reciprocal of the K value.

[0050] Further, the present embodiment further comprises S105, a method for establishing K value and quality association rules, statistics of batch freeze-drying endpoint K value fluctuation variance, when the variance value is greater than 0.05, automatically determine that the batch is unqualified, and predict the remaining service life of the vacuum according to the K value fluctuation frequency characteristics.

[0051] Among them, in the pre-freezing stage, the K value reference is constructed, and the weighted average value of the crystallinity is calculated as K0 reference at-38℃ ~ -40℃ state, and set the real-time K value deviation from K0 reference 15-25% as the process abnormal alarm threshold.

[0052] In practical applications, for protein material freeze-drying control, a single monoclonal antibody preparation, freeze-drying machine is equipped with near-infrared spectrum sensor, wavelength range 900-1700nm, optical fiber temperature sensor, accuracy ±0.1℃, vacuum degree sensor, resolution 0.01mbar and visual camera, frame rate 30fps.

[0053] Weight factor: temperature gradient change rate 60%, crystallinity 30%, vacuum fluctuation 10%.

[0054] Dynamic threshold: pre-freezing stage 0.8, sublimation stage 1.0, desorption stage 1.2.

[0055] K0 reference: pre-freezing stage crystallinity weighted average value at-38℃ as reference, real-time K value deviation 15% trigger alarm.

[0056] The specific control process is as follows:

[0057] S101: sensor real-time data acquisition, temperature gradient change rate through optical fiber sensor array calculation, crystallinity by near-infrared spectrum data through PLS model prediction, vacuum fluctuation amplitude by vacuum degree sensor high frequency sampling(10Hz)obtained.

[0058] S102: mapping module generates K value by weight superposition, calculation accuracy error control in 5%, edge processing delay 45ms.

[0059] S103: sublimation stage K value continuous 3 minutes more than 1.05, decision module starts reinforcement learning algorithm, heating plate temperature from 25℃ to 20℃, and compensates vacuum degree to 0.2mbar, original set 0.3mbar, energy consumption penalty mechanism synchronous reduce temperature regulation rate, avoid excessive energy consumption, when glassy region proportion reduced to 10% below, restore original weight factor.

[0060] S104: optimization module through federal learning aggregation historical K value, find crystallinity weight can fine-tune to 35% in sublimation later period, further improve freeze-drying rate, correlation coefficient≥0.95.

[0061] In this embodiment, real-time detection temperature gradient change rate 0.15℃ / s, crystallinity 0.85, vacuum fluctuation amplitude 12Pa, vacuum fluctuation amplitude need to be divided by reference value 10Pa for dimensionless.

[0062] Calculate K value:

[0063]

[0064] Wherein, The temperature gradient change rate is the rate of change of the temperature gradient, log(A) is the crystallinity, dimensionless, 0-1, and AP is the normalized vacuum fluctuation amplitude, AP = PI / PO, PI is the original fluctuation amplitude, and PO is the reference value, specifically 10 Pa.

[0065] w1 is the temperature gradient change rate weight, w2 is the crystallinity weight, and w3 is the vacuum fluctuation weight.

[0066] K = 0.15 * 0.6 + log(0.85) * 0.3 + 12 * 0.1 = 0.09 + (-0.07) + 1.2 = 1.22;

[0067] log(0.85) is rounded to two decimal places;

[0068] At this time, the K value is greater than the threshold value 1.2, triggering the reinforcement learning cooling:

[0069] AT = -2 ℃ * (1.22-1.0) = -0.44 ℃;

[0070] The vacuum fluctuation amplitude needs to be divided by the reference value (for example, the vacuum fluctuation amplitude / 10 Pa) to ensure that the K value is dimensionless; after adjustment, the K value returns to 1.05, and tests show that the freeze-drying cycle is shortened by 18%, the product moisture content is reduced from 2.5% to 1.8%, the active retention rate is increased from 92% to 95%, and the energy consumption is reduced by 15%.

[0071] Example Two: This example is basically the same as Example One, except that in this example, the freeze-drying control of polysaccharide materials is realized, specifically a plant polysaccharide extract, and the freeze-drying machine configuration is the same as in Example One.

[0072] In this example, the weight factors are: temperature gradient change rate 30%, crystallinity 50%, and vacuum fluctuation 20%.

[0073] Phase self-adaptation: the glass transition region identification threshold is set to 15%, and after triggering, the crystallinity weight is temporarily increased to 60%.

[0074] The control process is as follows:

[0075] During the pre-freezing stage, the K0 reference is established at -40℃, and an alarm is issued when the real-time K value deviates by 20%, the pre-freezing time is extended from 2 hours to 2.5 hours to avoid collapse caused by large ice crystals;

[0076] During the sublimation stage, the phase self-adaptation module identifies that the glassy region accounts for 18% through the crystallinity and temperature gradient spatial distribution, automatically increases the crystallinity weight to 65%, and reduces the K value from 1.1 to 0.98 to avoid incomplete drying due to high mass transfer resistance.

[0077] The K value is calculated = crystallinity contribution 0.92 x 0.65 + temperature gradient contribution 0.10 x 0.3 + vacuum fluctuation contribution 0.8 x 0.05 = 0.628;

[0078] K value < 0.8, start vacuum compensation: ΔP = 0.5 / K = 0.8 Pa;

[0079] In step S105, the batch end K value fluctuation variance is 0.03 (qualified threshold is 0.05), and it is determined to be qualified; at the same time, according to the K value fluctuation frequency (3 times / hour), the remaining life of the vacuum pump is predicted to be 200 hours, and maintenance is arranged in advance.

[0080] After testing, the reconstitution time of the freeze-dried product is shortened from 120 seconds to 80 seconds, the clarity of the solution after reconstitution is improved, and the unqualified rate of the batch is reduced from 1.2% to 0.3%.

[0081] Example three: This embodiment is mainly used to realize the cooperative optimization of multiple devices. In this embodiment, five freeze-dryers are used to realize the cooperative optimization of process parameters of multiple devices through federated learning, and the specific process is as follows:

[0082] The historical K value, weight factor and process parameters of each device are uploaded to the central server, and the data is aggregated after desensitization processing; the FedAWO algorithm is used to optimize the weight factor library, the differential privacy technology is used to aggregate the edge device data, and the central server only updates the weight factor model; the thermal distribution heterogeneity of different devices is identified, and personalized weight configuration is generated, and the temperature gradient weight of the edge device is increased by 5%; the digital twin of the freeze-dryer is constructed, the freeze-drying curve under different weight configurations is simulated, and the optimal parameter combination is predicted. The pressure of the equipment in the sublimation stage is adjusted from 0.25 mbar to 0.22 mbar.

[0083] After testing, the average freeze-drying cycle of multiple devices is shortened by 12%, the energy consumption standard deviation is reduced from 7.3% to 1.8%, and the product quality consistency is significantly improved.

[0084] The specific data comparison is as follows:

[0085] Index Conventional system This embodiment Batch pass rate 88.5% 99.1% Average energy consumption 1.2 MW·h 0.94 MW·h Abnormal response speed 150 ms 45 ms

[0086] Example four: This embodiment is further optimized on the basis of example one. In this embodiment, when the mass transfer resistance coefficient K is calculated by the mapping module, the unsteady-state mass transfer equation is introduced:

[0087]

[0088] Wherein, A is crystallinity, and a is inversely calculated from material porosity, and is calculated by the absorbance change rate of near-infrared spectrum in 1200-1400 nm band; β is a phase change correction factor, β = 1 when there is no phase change, and when the glass state area ratio is > 15%, Ea R is the gas constant, and T is the average temperature of the material.

[0089] Due to the high viscosity of liposomes (> 50 cP) leading to freeze-drying collapse, the surface fluctuation relaxation time τ is captured by a visual camera to calculate the viscosity, η = k·ΔT / τ (k is the calibration coefficient), k is obtained by calibrating the known viscosity standard in the freeze dryer; when η > 50 cP, the crystallinity weight is automatically increased to 70%.

[0090] The control process is as follows:

[0091] The pre-freezing stage detects η = 65 cP, and the crystallinity weight is increased from 50% to 70%;

[0092] K value calculation: K = 0.12 × 0.2 + log(0.75) × 0.7 + 15 × 0.1 = 1.18;

[0093] The decision module is because K value > threshold 1.1;

[0094] Start cooling ΔT = -0.5℃ × (1.18-1.1) = -0.4℃.

[0095] After testing, the encapsulation rate is increased from 85% to 93%, and the collapse rate is reduced from 8% to 0.5%.

[0096] Further, due to the abnormal increase of mass transfer resistance at -50℃; add a tunneling effect term in K value calculation:

[0097] K new = K + δ·e -d / λ ;

[0098] Where δ is the barrier height, δ < 0.1, d is the dry layer thickness, h is the Planck constant, m is the water molecule mass, ΔE is the energy barrier.

[0099] Real-time calculation d = 0.2mm (near-infrared inversion), ΔE = 0.15eV;

[0100] Correction amount δ·e -d / λ = 2.5, original K = 1.3, modified K new = 1.05; The decision module is because the K value returns to the threshold, and the vacuum compensation is cancelled. For mRNA vaccine, the mRNA vaccine activity retention rate is increased from 80% to 95%.

[0101] It should be noted that in actual application, linear superposition is used for conventional materials, and non-steady-state equation is used for materials with viscosity η > 50 cP.

[0102] Example five: this embodiment is further optimized on the basis of example one, the existing freeze-drying system cannot monitor the microstructure of ice crystals in real time, leading to the formation of needle-shaped ice crystals in the pre-freezing stage of monoclonal antibody drugs, the fractal dimension D f <1.6, causing protein denaturation and turbidity after reconstitution, with a product rejection rate of up to 15%, the fractal dimension D f Grid counting method.

[0103] In this embodiment, a high-resolution visual camera is added, with a resolution of 5μm and a frame rate of 60fps. An ice crystal morphology recognition module is also set up, which captures the fractal dimension D f of the ice crystals through the high-resolution visual camera and generates a morphology correction coefficient γ. The mapping module introduces a morphology correction term K new1 when calculating the mass transfer resistance coefficient.

[0104] K new1 = K + γ · (1 / D f );

[0105]

[0106] The forced temperature rise rate is limited to ≤0.1℃ / min.

[0107] The specific process is as follows:

[0108] Step 1: Data collection:

[0109] The real-time value of the optical fiber temperature sensor is 0.15℃ / s, the crystallinity is 0.88, and the fractal dimension D f of the ice crystals is 1.55.

[0110] Step 2: K value calculation and correction;

[0111] Basic K value calculation, weights: temperature 60%, crystallinity 30%, vacuum 10%;

[0112] K = 0.15 × 0.6 + kog(0.88) × 0.3 + (8Pa / 10Pa) × 0.1 = 0.09 - 0.017 + 0.08 = 0.153;

[0113] Morphology correction, D f = 1.55, γ = 0.2;

[0114] K new1 = 0.153 + 0.2 × (1 / 1.55) = 0.153 + 0.129 = 0.282.

[0115] Step 3:

[0116] Df = 1.55 <1.6 is detected, triggering the temperature rise rate limit;

[0117] The original temperature curve is raised from -40°C to -20°C at 0.3°C / min; the adjusted temperature rate is reduced to 0.1°C / min, while the ice crystal reconstruction program is started at the same time, and nitrogen gas is injected to change the crystallization path. The historical data of polymerization shows that when Df < 1.6, the crystallinity weight is increased to 40% to reduce the risk of denaturation.

[0118] After actual testing, the test effects of the embodiment scheme and the conventional scheme are as follows:

[0119] Index Conventional scheme This embodiment Promotion range Product unqualified rate 15% 0.5% ↓96.7% Protein activity retention rate 85% 98% ↑15.3% Reconstitution clarity (NTU) 12.5 1.2 ↓90.4% Freeze-drying cycle 48h 45h ↓6.3%
