Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hydrogel microsphere preparation, in particular to a hydrogel microsphere preparation device. Background Technique
[0002] Hydrogel microspheres are a kind of refined micro-structured substances, which are spherical in macroscopic shape and have excellent physical absorption ability. Hydrogel microspheres themselves are composed of a hydrogel composition, which has better absorption ability than ordinary microparticles and can absorb and solidify liquids more effectively. Its application fields are very wide and are suitable for the production and processing in departments such as food and medicine, and can be used as nutritional supplements and cell regulating substances of organisms.
[0003] There are methods such as the emulsification method, microfluidic technology, and template method for preparing hydrogel microspheres. Among them, the emulsification method is simple to operate and is widely used. When preparing hydrogel microspheres by the emulsification method, it is necessary to first disperse the precursor solution of the hydrogel in the oil phase to form an emulsion, and through an initiation polymerization reaction, the hydrogel forms microspheres in the emulsion droplets. At present, when making an emulsion, the precursor solution of the hydrogel and the oil phase are stirred by a stirring mechanism, and the existing stirring mechanisms all perform horizontal stirring alone and cannot mix the materials up and down, which easily leads to uneven up and down mixing of the materials, resulting in uneven formation of the emulsion and affecting the subsequent polymerization reaction. Therefore, in view of the above current situation, there is an urgent need to develop a hydrogel microsphere preparation device that can perform horizontal stirring on the materials while mixing the materials up and down, so that the mixing of the materials is more uniform, in order to obtain a uniform emulsion, to overcome the deficiencies in current practical applications and meet the current needs.
