[0032] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the utility model also provides a flow direction switching system, including the switching four-way valve 1 for changing the flow direction of the perfusion bag.

[0033] Specifically, the flow direction switching system also includes a centrifugal pump 2, a reaction container 3 and a filter 4. The centrifugal pump 2 is arranged on one side of the switching four-way valve 1 for changing the flow direction of the perfusion bag, the reaction container 3 is arranged on one side of the centrifugal pump 2, and the filter 4 is arranged on the side of the reaction container 3 away from the centrifugal pump 2.

[0034] Specifically, the input end and the output end of the centrifugal pump 2 are respectively connected to any two oppositely arranged pipeline interfaces 14 through the first pipeline 5, and the reaction container 3 is respectively connected to two oppositely arranged pipeline interfaces 14 through the second pipeline 6. The filter 4 is provided in any second pipeline 6 connecting the reaction container 3 and the pipeline interface 14, and the filter 4 is provided with a harvesting port 41, and the harvesting port 41 is connected to an external container.

[0035] The specific implementation process is:

[0036] The cells are cultured in the reaction vessel 3, and the culture medium is sent to the filter 4 by the centrifugal pump 2 for filtration. The contents smaller than the filtration gap are filtered out, while the contents larger than the gap are retained. Since the filter membrane is easily blocked during the filtration process, a flow direction diversion is specially set.

[0037] Forward filtration: after the centrifugal pump 2 is turned on, the cell solution flows out from the left port of the reaction container 3, is connected to the upper pipe interface of the switching four-way valve 1 for changing the flow direction of the perfusion bag through the second pipe 6, and then is output to the left lateral fluid channel through the internal arc groove 25 through the upper lateral fluid channel, and is connected to the input end of the centrifugal pump 2 by the first pipe 5 connected to the left pipe interface 14 of the switching four-way valve 1 for changing the flow direction of the perfusion bag, and then is connected to the first pipe 5 through the output end of the centrifugal pump 2 to the right pipe interface 14 of the switching four-way valve 1 for changing the flow direction of the perfusion bag, and then through the right lateral fluid channel and another internal arc groove 25, it is finally output from the lower lateral fluid channel to the lower pipe interface 14 of the switching four-way valve 1 for changing the flow direction of the perfusion bag, and the lower pipe interface 14 is connected to the second pipe 6 to the filter 4. After being filtered, the cell solution flows back into the right port of the reaction container 3.

[0038] Turning direction: after the filter membrane is clogged and the filtering effect is affected, the motor 34 is started, the motor 34 drives the upper magnet 32 ​​to rotate, and the upper magnet 32 ​​is coupled and driven with the lower magnet 22 through the upper sealing plate 31. After the motor 34 drives the upper magnet 32 ​​to rotate ninety degrees, the lower magnet 22 also drives the valve core 21 to rotate ninety degrees; the connection sequence in the switching four-way valve 1 that changes the flow direction of the perfusion bag is changed from the upper lateral fluid channel and the left lateral fluid channel, and the right lateral fluid channel and the lower lateral fluid channel to the upper lateral fluid channel and the right lateral fluid channel, and the left lateral fluid channel and the lower lateral fluid channel.

[0039] Reverse filtration: After the centrifugal pump 2 is turned on, the cell solution flows out of the right mouth of the reaction container 3 and is connected to the filter 4 through the second pipeline 6. The filtered cell solution is connected to the pipeline interface 14 on the lower side of the switching four-way valve 1 for changing the flow direction of the perfusion bag through the second pipeline 6, passes through the internal arc groove 25 after entering, and then flows out from the pipeline interface 14 on the left side of the switching four-way valve 1 for changing the flow direction of the perfusion bag, is connected to the input end of the centrifugal pump 2 through the first pipeline 5, and then connected to the first pipeline 5 through the output end of the centrifugal pump 2 to the right side pipeline interface 14 of the switching four-way valve 1 for changing the flow direction of the perfusion bag, after passing through the internal arc groove 25, flows out from the upper side pipeline interface 14 of the switching four-way valve 1 for changing the flow direction of the perfusion bag, and flows into the left mouth of the reaction container 3 through the second pipeline 6.

[0040] Thus, a forward and reverse filtration cycle is completed, the direction of the cell solution flowing into the filter 4 is reversed, and the blockage on the filter membrane is reversely washed down and is no longer retained and enters the cycle again.

[0041] Figure 4 and Figure 5 There are two filtering flow direction states. Centrifugal pump 2 is the power source of the cell solution. The flow direction is fixed. The left interface is the input end of centrifugal pump 2, and the right interface is the output end of centrifugal pump 2. Figure 4 In the figure, the upper interface of the switching four-way valve 1 for changing the flow direction of the perfusion bag is communicated with the left interface through the first pipeline 5, and the lower interface of the switching four-way valve 1 for changing the flow direction of the perfusion bag is communicated with the right interface through the first pipeline 5. In this state, the upper interface is the inlet of the switching four-way valve 1 for changing the flow direction of the perfusion bag, and the lower interface is the outlet of the switching four-way valve 1 for changing the flow direction of the perfusion bag. Figure 5 In the figure, the upper interface of the switching four-way valve 1 for changing the flow direction of the perfusion bag is communicated with the right interface through the first pipeline 5, and the lower interface is communicated with the left interface through the first pipeline 5. In this state, the upper interface is the outlet of the switching four-way valve 1 for changing the flow direction of the perfusion bag, and the lower interface is the inlet of the switching four-way valve 1 for changing the flow direction of the perfusion bag.

[0042] The utility model provides a switching four-way valve 1 for changing the flow direction of the perfusion bag between the pipelines connected to the reaction container 3 and the filter 4. The valve core 21 of the switching four-way valve 1 for changing the flow direction of the perfusion bag is provided with an arc groove 25. The upper magnet 32 ​​and the lower magnet 22 of the magnetic coupling are driven by the control motor 34, thereby driving the valve core assembly 20 to rotate in the valve body shell 10, so as to realize the switching of the connecting arc groove 25 and the pipeline interface 14, that is, the switching of the cell solution direction of the pipeline. An O-ring 15 is provided between the upper sealing plate 11 and the lower sealing plate 24 and the valve body shell 12. At the same time, the upper sealing plate 11 and the lower sealing plate 24 are connected to the valve body shell 12 by bolts. The valve body shell 12 is tightened to improve the sealing performance, so that the cell solution flowing in the valve body assembly 10 and the valve core assembly 20 is isolated from the outside world and the internal environment is maintained; by controlling the motor 34, the valve core assembly 20 is rotated 90° in the valve body shell 12, and the pipeline interface 14 remains connected to the output and input ends of the centrifugal pump 2. The pipeline connection sequence between the pipeline interface 14 and the reaction container 2 and the filter 4 remains unchanged, but the inlet and outlet directions of the pipeline interface 14 and the reaction container 3 and the filter 4 are swapped to achieve the effect of switching the flow direction of the cell solution. It can be connected to an external container through the harvesting port 41 to collect the filtered cell solution.

[0043] The utility model is easy to use and can realize rapid switching of pipeline flow direction while keeping the pipeline isolated from the outside world, realizes modularization and unitization of the switching structure, and the power connection mode is closed and magnetically coupled, thereby improving the sealing performance of the switching four-way valve 1 for changing the flow direction of the perfusion bag and meeting the aseptic environment required for biopharmaceutical production.
