Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] Combine Figures 1 to 3 Shown:

[0019] A continuous tubular reaction device for the coordinated catalysis of enzymes and immobilized enzymes comprises a tube body 1, sealing plugs 2 are provided at both ends of the tube body 1 for ensuring the sealing of both ends of the tube body 1, a rotating motor 3 is provided in the sealing plug 2 for providing rotational power, a rotating shaft 4 is provided between the rotating motors 3, an enzyme isolation box 6 is connected to the side pipe wall of one end of the tube body 1 for isolating the enzyme and preventing the enzyme from flowing into the pipe at the feed point, a mixing pipe 13 is provided on the outside of the enzyme isolation box 6, the mixing pipe 13 is connected to several feed pipes 14, a spiral channel is provided in the mixing pipe 13 for increasing the uniformity and stability of mixing, an enzyme separation box 7 is provided below the bottom side of the other end of the tube body 1 for filtering the enzyme and preventing the enzyme from being lost together with the product, a discharge pipe 15 is provided at the bottom of the enzyme separation box 7, flow valves are provided on the discharge pipe 15 and the feed pipe 14, grooves are provided in the enzyme isolation box 6 and the enzyme separation box 7, sealing plates 18 are provided in the grooves, enzyme filter membranes 19 are provided on the sealing plate 18 at positions corresponding to the pipes, so as to accurately screen and filter the enzyme to prevent it from mixing with the product.

[0020] An expansion tube 8 is provided in the middle of the tube body 1, and a loading turntable 9 is provided on the rotating shaft 4 at a position corresponding to the expansion tube 8, which is used to load the immobilized enzyme. The middle part of the expansion tube 8 is columnar and the two ends are conical. The columnar structure in the middle of the expansion tube 8 corresponds to the loading turntable 9. A loading disk 11 is provided in the middle of the loading turntable 9, which is the main body for loading the immobilized enzyme. Stirring blades 12 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the loading disk 11. The stirring blades 12 rotate in the same direction to facilitate the contact of the immobilized enzyme and promote the flow of the liquid. They are used to stir the reaction liquid in the tube body 1 and increase the contact with the immobilized enzyme. A pipeline below the columnar structure in the middle of the expansion tube 8 is connected to a sedimentation tank 16. A waste pipe 17 is provided at the bottom of the sedimentation tank 16. A valve is provided on the waste pipe 17 for discharging waste inactivated precipitates in the reaction liquid.

[0021] An arc-shaped tube 5 is provided above the tube body 1, and the arc-shaped tube 5 connects the upper pipe walls at both ends of the tube body 1. A feed box 10 is provided in the middle of the arc-shaped tube 5, and a feeding pipe 20 is provided on the feed box 10 for adding enzyme solution to prevent the inactivated enzyme from affecting the catalytic effect of the reaction solution. A flow valve is provided on the feeding pipe 20 for controlling the amount of addition. A circulation pump 21 is provided on the arc-shaped tube 5 for circulating the enzyme solution to prevent the enzyme from being deposited at the end of the tube body 1.

[0022] Working principle: The reactant solution flows into the mixing pipe through the feed pipe to mix, and then flows into the pipe body. The pipe body and the mixing pipe are isolated by an enzyme isolation box to prevent the enzyme solution from flowing back into the pipe. The reaction occurs under the action of the enzyme solution in the tank and the immobilized enzyme loaded on the load turntable. The stirring of the stirring blade transfers the precipitate to the sedimentation tank for easy removal, while ensuring full contact between the immobilized enzyme and the reaction liquid. Finally, the reaction liquid is filtered through the enzyme filter membrane and separated and discharged from the discharge pipe. The presence of the arc pipe and the circulation pump allows the enzyme to be transported from the tail end of the pipe body to the head end, ensuring the uniformity of the enzyme solution from front to back. At the same time, by arranging a suitable detection device in the pipe body, the concentration of the enzyme solution can be judged, which is convenient for controlling the addition flow of the enzyme solution through the feed box and the feeding pipe, further ensuring the stability of the reaction environment.
