Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of centrifuges, and in particular to a water supply device for a disc-type centrifuge. Background Art
[0002] Disc stack centrifuges are widely used in the fields of biopharmaceuticals, industrial fermentation, and in large-scale industrial production. Their continuous processing mode is very suitable for large-scale cell fermentation production in the field of biopharmaceuticals. However, disc stack centrifuges are expensive, especially the accessories and labor maintenance costs required for maintenance are high, which has always been one of the difficulties in cost control for enterprises. Moreover, for some manufacturers who do not have equipment or spare centrifuges to replace centrifuges, problems with centrifuges will directly lead to production paralysis.
[0003] There are two important points about centrifuge operating water: 1. Centrifuge operating water requirements: a. Sterile purified water; b. Water pressure: 300kpa; c. Continuous supply, no interruption; 2. Centrifuge operating water functions: a. Support the drum; b. Perform the centrifuge "wet waiting" procedure; c. Flushing slag; d. Cooling the machine seal.
[0004] Centrifuge operating water is one of the necessary conditions for the operation of the centrifuge. To ensure the normal operation of the centrifuge, the operating water must be adequately supplied and cannot be interrupted. The current centrifuge operating water is generally directly connected to the purified water supply pipeline or a purified water storage tank is added. The storage tank needs to be manually replenished with purified water to ensure the normal operation of the centrifuge. However, due to water outages or manual operations, water is sometimes forgotten to be replenished, causing the centrifuge operating water to be interrupted, thereby damaging the internal components of the centrifuge. In addition, during the production process of centrifuges in the biopharmaceutical field, a large amount of foam will be generated in the slag storage tank when the centrifuge is flushing slag. The foam will enter the centrifuge, causing the centrifuge hub slag discharge hole to be blocked. After the slag discharge hole is blocked, the machine needs to be disassembled for maintenance.
[0005] The patent document with the publication number CN116493144A discloses a centrifuge fault warning method, device and equipment, which relates to the field of centrifuges and solves the problem that the existing centrifuge must be shut down due to faults during operation. The centrifuge fault warning method discretizes the rotor system of the centrifuge, obtains at least one component of the discretized rotor system, determines the rotor system motion equation according to at least one component, and corrects the rotor system motion equation, determines the centrifuge fault prediction model through the corrected rotor system motion equation, and finally inputs the real-time parameters of at least one component of the discretized rotor system of the centrifuge into the centrifuge fault prediction model for prediction, and obtains the fault prediction result including the offset degree of at least one component of the discretized rotor system, thereby realizing the functions of online monitoring, trend analysis and fault warning of the centrifuge, and achieving the purpose of preventive maintenance of the centrifuge. However, the patent document cannot solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned disc centrifuge. Utility Model Content

The flow switch 9 is a flow switch with an alarm function. When the water flow is maintained at a normal flow rate, no alarm is given, and when the water flow is lower than the normal flow rate, an alarm is given. In this embodiment, the flow switch 9 is an FGH thermal conductivity flow switch.
[0049] The first water supply pipe 10 is a U-shaped pipe, and the second water supply pipe 26 is connected to the bottom of the U-shaped pipe. A fifth pneumatic diaphragm valve 19 is provided between the water storage tank 16 and the water supply pump 20. A sixth pneumatic diaphragm valve 21 is provided between the water supply pump 20 and the centrifuge 22.
[0050] The water supply device for the disc centrifuge also includes a spare water storage barrel 3; the spare water storage barrel 3 is connected to the water storage barrel 16 through the second pneumatic diaphragm valve 8, and the spare water storage barrel 3 is used to supply water to the water storage barrel 16. The water storage barrel 16 is provided with a first normal pressure filter housing 12, and the spare water storage barrel 3 is provided with a second normal pressure filter housing 1.
[0051] In this embodiment, the water supply pipe connecting the water storage bucket 16 and the spare water storage bucket 3 can be a silicone hose, such as Figure 1 As shown, the water storage tank 16 is connected to a first silicone hose 13 , and the spare water storage tank 3 is connected to a second silicone hose 4 .
[0052] The first pneumatic diaphragm valve 11 is connected to the standby water storage barrel 3 through the third pneumatic diaphragm valve 5; the first pneumatic diaphragm valve 11 is connected to the water storage barrel 16 through the fourth pneumatic diaphragm valve 14; the fourth pneumatic diaphragm valve 14 is electrically connected to the first differential pressure level gauge 15. The standby water storage barrel 3 is provided with a second differential pressure level gauge 2; the second differential pressure level gauge 2 is electrically connected to the first pneumatic diaphragm valve 11 and the second pneumatic diaphragm valve 8. The bottom of the standby water storage barrel 3 is connected to the water storage barrel 16; the connection position between the standby water storage barrel 3 and the water storage barrel 16 is higher than the lowest water level position in the water storage barrel 16 that can maintain the normal operation of the centrifuge 22; the plane where the bottom of the standby water storage barrel 3 is located is higher than the lowest water level position in the water storage barrel 16 that can maintain the normal operation of the centrifuge 22.
[0053] The water supply device for the disc centrifuge also includes a filter element 25, which is arranged on a drainage channel 24 connecting the centrifuge slag tank 23 and the centrifuge 22. The drainage channel 24 is mainly used to drain the operating water that supports the drum into the slag tank and then drain it from the slag tank.
[0054] The first case: add a transparent water storage barrel 16 for operating water, which is made of materials that meet production requirements, to the centrifuge 22 directly connected to the operating water, and connect it in series with a spare water storage barrel 3 that is also filled with operating water. Install the second normal pressure filter housing 1 and the first normal pressure filter housing 12 on both water storage barrels to maintain the two water storage barrels at normal pressure, as well as sterilization and filtration to ensure that no impurities or bacteria enter the water storage barrels.

In some embodiments, a set of automatic control programs can also be made based on existing software products to realize the association between valves, liquid level gauges, and flow switches.
[0055] The second situation: during normal operation, when the liquid level is lower than the low liquid level line 18 of the water storage tank, open the first pneumatic diaphragm valve 11 and the fourth pneumatic diaphragm valve 14, replenish water to the set high liquid level line 17 of the water storage tank, and then close the first pneumatic diaphragm valve 11 and the fourth pneumatic diaphragm valve 14, so as to achieve water replenishment and ensure the normal operation of the centrifuge.
[0056] The purified water flow is monitored by the flow switch 9. When an abnormal purified water supply is detected, an audible and visual alarm is issued.
