Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bioengineering equipment manufacturing technology, specifically to a combined processing equipment for an enzyme-catalyzed synthesis fermenter. Background Technology

[0002] Enzyme-catalyzed synthesis fermenters are bioengineering devices used to carry out enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Fermenters can precisely control environmental conditions such as temperature, pH, and substrate concentration. After adding free enzymes or immobilized enzyme catalysts, specific enzyme-catalyzed synthesis reactions can be promoted smoothly. This achieves efficient material transfer and heat exchange, and the stability and reproducibility of the reaction can be ensured through parameter control. Currently, this equipment is widely used in the fields of pharmaceutical intermediate synthesis and natural food additive preparation.

[0003] The main structure of this type of fermenter is assembled by welding the tank body, upper head and lower head. During the alignment operation before welding the tank body and head, they are usually placed on a roller frame. However, the tank body and head are both large thin-walled components, and the roller frame is mostly supported by a V-shaped structure. This causes the tank body and head to undergo elastic deformation under their own weight, which in turn affects the alignment accuracy.

[0004] The existing solution to this problem is to rely on skilled workers to manually fine-tune the alignment process using methods such as tapping with crowbars and pushing with jacks. This method not only has low control precision, but also requires workers to repeatedly perform alignment operations when the tank body and end caps are rotated and adjusted, which is both time-consuming and labor-intensive, and will also have an adverse effect on the overall processing progress and quality of the fermentation tank.

[0005] Therefore, we propose a combined processing equipment for an enzymatic synthesis fermenter. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a combined processing device for an enzymatic synthesis fermenter. The first and second drive belts support the tank body and end cap respectively in surface contact, thereby suppressing elastic deformation of the tank body and end cap. Furthermore, the vertical height of the second sliding frame is precisely adjusted via the nut of the adjusting mechanism, thereby aligning the mating surfaces of the tank body and end cap, thus providing a basis for subsequent processing operations and solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a combined processing equipment for an enzymatic synthesis fermenter, comprising a support mechanism, the support mechanism comprising a first fixed frame, a track fixedly connected to the bottom of the first fixed frame, a first hydraulic rod fixedly connected to the inner side of the first fixed frame near the track, a first sliding frame fixedly connected to the output end of the first hydraulic rod, a tank body disposed between the first fixed frame and the first sliding frame, end caps respectively disposed at both ends of the tank body, a second hydraulic rod fixedly connected to the sides of both the first fixed frame and the first sliding frame, and an adjustment mechanism disposed at the output end of the second hydraulic rod.

[0008] In the above technical solution, the adjustment mechanism includes a connecting frame, which is fixedly connected to the output end of the second hydraulic rod, and a caster wheel is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting frame.

[0009] The second sliding frame is disposed on the top of the connecting frame. A second fixed frame is fixedly connected to the side of the second sliding frame near the connecting frame. A screw is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the second fixed frame away from the second sliding frame. The screw is slidably connected to the connecting frame.

[0010] Based on the above, a nut is rotatably connected to the side of the connecting frame near the screw. The nut is threadedly connected to the screw, and rotating the nut is used to adjust the vertical height between the second sliding frame and the connecting frame.

[0011] Preferably, a fixed shaft is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the second fixed frame away from the screw, the fixed shaft is slidably connected to the connecting frame, and the fixed shaft provides guidance for the vertical movement of the second sliding frame.

[0012] It is worth noting that a dual-axis motor is fixedly connected to the side of the second sliding frame, and a support rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the dual-axis motor. A ball bearing is rotatably connected to the inner side of the free end of the support rod. An elastic component is provided inside the support rod, and the elastic component is located on the side of the ball bearing close to the inner end of the support rod. The support rod is used to support the outer wall of the end cap through the ball bearing. When it is necessary to provide auxiliary support to the outer wall of the end cap away from the docking side, the dual-axis motor drives the support rod to deflect towards the outer wall of the end cap, and the ball bearing at the end of the support rod forms rolling contact with the outer wall of the end cap, providing auxiliary support.

[0013] Meanwhile, a second motor is fixedly connected to the side of the second sliding frame, and a second drive roller is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor. A second auxiliary roller is rotatably connected to the inner side of the second sliding frame via a rotating shaft. A second drive belt is fitted on the outer surfaces of the second drive roller and the second auxiliary roller. A second groove is provided on both sides of the second drive belt along its width direction. A second limiting shaft is rotatably connected to the side of the second sliding frame near the second drive belt. One end of the second limiting shaft is rotatably connected to the second sliding frame, and the other end extends into the second groove and rolls in contact with the groove wall of the second groove. The outer surface of the second drive belt is used to contact and support the end cap.

[0014] In the above technical solution, a slider is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first sliding frame, and the slider slides in cooperation with the track. The track is used to improve the stability of the horizontal movement of the first sliding frame.

[0015] It is worth noting that a first motor is fixedly connected to the outer side of both the first sliding frame and the first fixed frame, and a first drive roller is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor. A first auxiliary roller is rotatably connected to the inner side of both the first fixed frame and the first sliding frame via a rotating shaft. After the tank body and the end cap are aligned, the first drive belt and the second drive belt are driven by the first motor and the second motor respectively to achieve synchronous rotation, thereby driving the tank body and the end cap to rotate synchronously. This allows for continuous adjustment of the circumferential weld position, providing conditions for continuous spot welding operations. As a result, there is no need for manual repeated adjustment of the posture of the tank body and the end cap, effectively improving the efficiency of the tank body and end cap assembly processing.

[0016] Preferably, the outer peripheral surfaces of the first drive roller and the first auxiliary roller are jointly fitted with a first drive belt. The first drive belt has a first groove on each of its two sides along its width direction. The outer surface of the first drive belt is used to contact and support the tank. It is worth noting that the first fixed frame and the first sliding frame are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the first drive belt. The first fixed frame and the first sliding frame are respectively rotatably connected to the first limiting shaft. One end of each first limiting shaft is rotatably connected to the corresponding first fixed frame or first sliding frame, and the other end extends into the first groove and rolls in contact with the groove wall of the first groove.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, it has the following beneficial effects: 1. In the combined processing equipment of the enzyme-catalyzed synthesis fermenter, the first drive belt and the second drive belt support the tank body and the end cap respectively in a surface contact form, which can effectively reduce the deformation of the tank body and the end cap. Then, the vertical height of the second sliding frame is finely adjusted by the nut of the adjustment mechanism, thereby realizing the alignment of the docking end faces of the tank body and the end cap, thus providing alignment and positioning for subsequent assembly operations.

[0018] 2. In the combined processing equipment of the enzyme-catalyzed synthesis fermenter, after the tank body and the end cap are aligned, the first motor and the second motor drive the first drive belt and the second drive belt to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the tank body and the end cap to rotate synchronously, so that the circumferential weld position can be continuously adjusted, providing conditions for continuous spot welding operation. Thus, there is no need for manual repeated adjustment of the posture of the tank body and the end cap, which effectively improves the efficiency of the combined processing of the tank body and the end cap.

[0024] During the alignment process of the fermentation tank assembly, workers need to manually fine-tune the process by tapping with crowbars and pushing with jacks. This method not only has poor control precision, but also requires repeated calibration and alignment when the tank body and end caps are rotated and adjusted, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and will also have an adverse effect on the overall processing progress and quality of the fermentation tank.

[0025] In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention discloses a combined processing equipment for an enzymatic synthesis fermenter, including a support mechanism 1.

[0026] refer to Figure 3-4As shown, a first motor 106 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the first sliding frame 104 and the first fixed frame 101. A first drive roller 1071 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 106. A first auxiliary roller 107 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the first fixed frame 101 and the inner side of the first sliding frame 104 via a rotating shaft. The first drive roller 1071 and the first auxiliary roller 107 have the same diameter. A first drive belt 108 is sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the first drive roller 1071 and the first auxiliary roller 107. A first groove 1081 is opened on both sides of the first drive belt 108 along its width direction. The outer surface of the first drive belt 108 is used to contact and support the tank 3. The first drive belt 108 supports the tank 3 by surface contact, which is used to reduce the deformation of the tank 3.

[0027] The first fixed frame 101 and the first sliding frame 104 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the first drive belt 108. The first fixed frame 101 and the first sliding frame 104 are respectively rotatably connected to the first limiting shaft 110. One end of each first limiting shaft 110 is rotatably connected to the corresponding first fixed frame 101 or first sliding frame 104, and the other end extends into the first groove 1081 and rolls in contact with the groove wall of the first groove 1081. The first auxiliary roller 107 and the first drive roller 1071 are used to drive the first drive belt 108 to achieve stable operation. The end of the first limiting shaft 110 away from the first fixed frame 101 and the first sliding frame 104 is rolled in contact with the inner wall of the first groove 1081.

[0028] When the first fixed frame 101 adjusts the first sliding frame 104 to slide via the first hydraulic rod 103, refer to Figure 5 As shown, a slider 105 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first sliding frame 104. The slider 105 slides in conjunction with the track 102, which is used to improve the stability of the horizontal movement of the first sliding frame 104.

[0029] refer to Figure 6-8 As shown, the adjustment mechanism 2 includes a connecting frame 201, which is fixedly connected to the output end of the second hydraulic rod 109. A caster wheel 202 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting frame 201, which is used to support the bottom of the connecting frame 201.

[0030] The second sliding frame 203 is located on top of the connecting frame 201. A second fixed frame 204 is fixedly connected to the side of the second sliding frame 203 near the connecting frame 201. A screw 206 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the second fixed frame 204 away from the second sliding frame 203. The screw 206 is slidably connected to the connecting frame 201. Two fixed shafts 205 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the second fixed frame 204 away from the screw 206. The fixed shafts 205 are used to limit the sliding distance between 203 and 201. The fixed shafts 205 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting frame 201 and provide guidance for the vertical movement of the second sliding frame 203.

[0031] refer to Figure 6 As shown, a nut 207 is rotatably connected to the side of the connecting frame 201 near the screw 206. The nut 207 is threadedly connected to the screw 206. Rotating the nut 207 is used to adjust the vertical height between the second sliding frame 203 and the connecting frame 201. When the tank body 3 and the end cap 4 are aligned, the tank body 3 is first placed between the first fixed frame 101 and the first sliding frame 104. Then, the outer surface of the tank body 3 is stably supported by the first drive belts 108 arranged inside the first fixed frame 101 and the first sliding frame 104. At the same time, the end cap 4 is placed smoothly on the second drive belt 210 arranged inside the second sliding frame 203. After the two are initially positioned, the vertical distance between the second sliding frame 203 and the connecting frame 201 is adjusted by rotating the nut 207. This allows for a fine adjustment of the vertical height between the end cap 4 and the tank body 3, thereby ensuring that the mating end faces of the end cap 4 and the tank body 3 are aligned.

[0032] A dual-axis motor 211 is fixedly connected to the side of the second sliding frame 203. A support rod 212 is fixedly connected to the output end of the dual-axis motor 211. A ball bearing 214 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the free end of the support rod 212. The ball bearing 214 is made of polyurethane. An elastic component 213 is provided inside the support rod 212. The elastic component 213 is located on the side of the ball bearing 214 near the inner end of the support rod 212. The support rod 212 supports the outer wall of the end cap 4 through the ball bearing 214. When it is necessary to provide auxiliary support to the outer wall of the end cap 4 away from the docking side, the dual-axis motor 211 drives the support rod 212 to deflect towards the outer wall of the end cap 4. The ball bearing 214 at the end of the support rod 212 forms rolling contact with the outer wall of the end cap 4 to provide auxiliary support.

[0033] refer to Figure 7 As shown, a second motor 208 is fixedly connected to the side of the second sliding frame 203, and a second drive roller 209 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 208. A second auxiliary roller 2091 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the second sliding frame 203 via a rotating shaft. The second drive roller 209 and the second auxiliary roller 2091 have the same dimensions.

[0034] The outer surfaces of the second drive roller 209 and the second auxiliary roller 2091 are jointly fitted with a second drive belt 210. The second drive belt 210 has second grooves 2101 on both sides along its width. A second sliding frame 203 is rotatably connected to a second limiting shaft 215 near the side of the second drive belt 210. One end of the second limiting shaft 215 is rotatably connected to the second sliding frame 203, and the other end extends into the second groove 2101 and rolls against the groove wall. The outer surface of the second drive belt 210 is used to contact and support the end cap 4. When the tank body 3 and the end cap 4 need to be combined for processing, the tank body 3 is first placed between the first fixed frame 101 and the first sliding frame 104, and the end cap 4 is simultaneously flattened... The tank body 3 is securely mounted between the second sliding frames 203 on both sides. The first drive belt 108 supports the tank body 3 and the second drive belt 210 supports the end cap 4 through surface contact, which can effectively reduce the deformation of the joint end. After the tank body 3 and the end cap 4 are aligned to meet the requirements, the joint part of the tank body 3 and the end cap 4 is first spot welded for positioning. Then, the first motor 106 is started to drive the first drive belt 108 to run, and the second motor 208 is started simultaneously to drive the second drive belt 210 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the tank body 3 and the end cap 4 to rotate synchronously, realizing continuous spot welding positioning at multiple points. After the multi-point spot welding operation is completed, the joint gap between the tank body 3 and the end cap 4 can be welded as a whole, thereby completing the combined processing operation of the tank body 3 and the end cap 4.
