Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application provides a reaction device, which relates to the technical field of reaction detection. Background Art

[0002] Existing reaction equipment is typically equipped with only basic detection components, which can only monitor the properties of specific substances and fail to comprehensively monitor other key parameters in the reaction process. This incomplete parameter collection directly leads to an inability to accurately analyze and judge the physical and chemical reactions taking place. Furthermore, it may be impossible to fully and comprehensively capture changes during the reaction, resulting in an inability to respond and adjust reaction conditions in a timely manner, which can also affect reaction control accuracy and product quality.

[0003] Because the metabolism of plant and animal cells and microorganisms has two pathways, one is a healthy state with complete oxygen consumption, and the other is an unhealthy state with incomplete oxygen consumption. In the unhealthy state, the oxygen consumed and the carbon dioxide released are not one-to-one corresponding, resulting in the inability of existing bioreactors to accurately judge the need for feed based solely on oxygen changes. In order to control the stability of pH, real-time changing carbon dioxide needs to be introduced. As a result, the carbon dioxide concentration in the direct detection system cannot truly reflect the amount of carbon dioxide produced by the metabolism of plant and animal cells and microorganisms. This inaccuracy affects the control of the environment within the bioreactor, and thus affects the efficiency of the biological process and the quality of the product. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to provide a reaction device to improve the problems of incomplete monitoring and inaccurate metabolic status judgment in existing bioreactor technology, while improving the control accuracy and culture efficiency of the biological reaction process.

Corresponding data is collected for each step of the reaction, including the initial phase, the reaction phase, and the final phase. This provides the prerequisite for accurate analysis and judgment of the physical and chemical reactions occurring within the reaction equipment. This comprehensive and continuous detection method allows the reaction equipment to accurately reflect the status of the ongoing physical and chemical reactions.

[0008] In the above implementation, gas enters through the first pipeline, and a flow controller is provided to control the gas flow in the first pipeline, thereby achieving control over the reactant (here, gas) at the inlet end. This not only ensures a stable supply of reactants but also helps maintain the pressure and temperature within the reaction system. Furthermore, the flow controller maintains a defined flow ratio to ensure smooth reaction progress. Flow control also allows for adjustments to the reaction process based on real-time data.

[0010] In the above implementation process, when the first pipe is connected to the side wall of the second pipe along the tangential direction of the second pipe, the gas entering the second pipe will be in the tangential direction, which helps to break the static gas layer in the second pipe, form a rotating airflow in the second pipe to promote the uniform distribution of the gas, so that the contact between the gas is more sufficient and the mixing efficiency is improved.

By monitoring the oxygen and carbon dioxide content at the inlet in real time, the gas composition during the reaction can be controlled, thereby providing a suitable environment for the reaction.

The temperature sensor detects the temperature of the reactants undergoing physical and chemical reactions inside the reaction chamber. Temperature is a key factor affecting the chemical reaction rate and product quality. Temperature control helps to optimize reaction conditions and improve reaction efficiency and selectivity. The pH sensor detects the pH value of the reactants undergoing physical and chemical reactions inside the reaction chamber. Changes in pH directly affect the activity and reaction path of the reactants. By real-time monitoring and controlling the pH value, the optimal biochemical environment can be maintained, especially in biological fermentation and acid-base sensitive reaction processes. The second oxygen sensor detects the dissolved oxygen content of the reactants undergoing physical and chemical reactions inside the reaction chamber. Dissolved oxygen is a key indicator for measuring the self-purification capacity of water bodies and the health of the ecological environment.

[0036] The reaction equipment also includes: an air intake assembly; the air intake assembly is connected to the air intake end 110 of the reaction assembly, and includes: a first pipe 130 and a flow controller 140; the first pipe 130 is configured to introduce gas into the reaction assembly; a flow controller 140 is set at the end of the first pipe 130 close to the reaction assembly; the flow controller 140 is configured to control the gas flow rate in the first pipe 130; wherein the gas includes a single gas and / or a mixed gas.

[0037] In the above implementation, gas enters through the first conduit 130, and a flow controller 140 is provided to control the gas flow rate in the first conduit 130, thereby controlling the reactant (here, gas) at the inlet end 110. This not only ensures a stable supply of reactants, but also helps maintain the pressure and temperature within the reaction system. Furthermore, the provision of the flow controller 140 maintains a defined flow ratio, allowing the reaction to proceed smoothly. The flow control also allows the reaction process to be adjusted based on real-time data.

[0038] Alternatively, the gas may be a single gas such as oxygen or carbon dioxide, or a mixed gas such as ammonia or air. In one embodiment, when the reactor is used for biological reactions, the effects of oxygen and carbon dioxide, or a mixture of the two gases, on the biological culture medium or plant and animal cells within the reaction chamber 100 must be considered.

[0044] Optionally, you can choose: weight sensors based on load cells or piezoelectric sensors; thermocouples, thermistors, or fiber optic temperature sensors; glass electrodes or solid electrolyte pH sensors. Furthermore, all sensor components that come into contact with the reactants should be made of biocompatible materials to avoid adverse effects on the biological reaction process.

[0045] The reaction equipment also includes: a third pipe 160 and a heater (not shown); the third pipe 160 is connected to the gas outlet end 120 of the reaction component; the third pipe 160 is configured to transmit the treated gas to an external device; the heater (not shown) is arranged near the third pipe 160; the heater (not shown) is configured to heat the third pipe 160 based on heat transfer.

[0046] Optionally, a heater (not shown) is provided near the third pipe 160 and may be arranged around the pipe to provide uniform heat distribution; in cases where space is limited or specific heating requirements are required, the heater may only contact one side of the pipe; or the pipe may be provided with a PID-controlled electric heating function.

[0047] In the above implementation, third conduit 160 is directly connected to the gas outlet 120 of the reaction assembly, transmitting the gas processed within reaction chamber 100 to external equipment. A heater (not shown) heats the gas within third conduit 160, accelerating the evaporation of moisture from the gas, ensuring that the exhausted gas meets dryness requirements.

[0049] In the above implementation, third oxygen sensor 231 detects the oxygen content in the gas entering outlet 120, and third carbon dioxide sensor 232 detects the carbon dioxide content in the gas entering outlet 120. Real-time monitoring of gas composition at outlet 120, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide content, provides direct feedback on the reaction progress, facilitating timely adjustment of reaction conditions, such as temperature, pH, and stirring speed, to optimize reaction rate and product quality. Monitoring the oxygen and carbon dioxide content in the outlet gas helps assess the operating status of the bioreactor, and the collected outlet gas composition data can be used for subsequent data analysis to improve the bioreactor process.

[0050] Optionally, compensation is applied to the reaction chamber 100 based on the substances detected by the first detection element 210, the second detection element 220, and the third detection element 230. In calculating the specific amount of compensation or the compensation substance, existing calculation methods may be used or external computing equipment may be used.

[0051] In one embodiment, the difference between the inlet oxygen volume fraction A1 and the outlet oxygen volume fraction A2 can be calculated, while simultaneously communicating with the reactor controller to obtain the total inlet volume Q and the reactor culture medium volume V. The program collects data and performs calculations in real time, while also outputting the calculated result OUR in real time. The formula is: OUR = (A1 - A2) * Q / V.

[0052] The inlet carbon dioxide volume fraction B1 and the outlet carbon dioxide volume fraction B2 are differentially calculated, and the total inlet volume Q and the reactor culture medium volume V are obtained by communicating with the reaction equipment controller. Data is collected and calculated in real time within the program, and the calculation result CER is output in real time.

[0053] The formula is: CER = (B1-B2)*Q / V.

[0054] where A / B is the molar fraction (mmol / L), Q is the aeration rate (L / h), and V is the reactor volume (L). CER is the carbon dioxide evolution rate (mmol / L·h).

[0055] Based on the above calculations of online OUR and CER, the online respiratory quotient RQ can be calculated using the formula: RQ = CER / OUR.

[0056] where CER is the carbon dioxide evolution rate (mmol / L·H) and OUR is the oxygen consumption rate (mmol / L·H).

[0058] In this implementation, feeding assembly 170 dynamically adjusts the type and amount of feed based on the data provided by the detection element and the compensation amount calculated based on this data to optimize the bioreaction process. Precise control by feeding assembly 170 can meet the nutritional needs of microbial growth, promote rapid cell proliferation and efficient product synthesis, and improve bioreaction efficiency and product quality.

[0059] The feeding assembly 170 includes: a feeding container 171 and a feeding controller 172; the feeding container 171 is connected to the reaction chamber 100, and the feeding container 171 is configured to place reactants related to the physical and chemical reactions in the reaction chamber; wherein the reactants include biological culture media for the relevant physical and chemical reactions; the feeding controller 172 is configured to adjust the rate at which the reactants in the feeding container 171 are transported to the reaction chamber.

[0060] In the above implementation, feeding controller 172 automatically adjusts the rate at which reactants in feeding container 171 are delivered to the reaction chamber based on detected material properties, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide content. This not only improves the accuracy of monitoring the bioreaction process but also enhances the ability to control reaction conditions, thereby improving the quality and safety of gas processing and the adaptability of the equipment, providing more reliable and flexible operating conditions for a variety of complex bioreactions.

[0061] In one embodiment, the online OUR obtained by the above calculation can be analyzed to set the OUR range {OUR1-OUR2} to correspond to the output feed rate range {BU1-BU2}.

[0062] When the online OUR changes within the range, the output BU of the feeding system also automatically changes within the corresponding range. The formula is: Output BU = (Online OUR - OUR1) * (BU2 - BU1) / (OUR2 - OUR1) + BU1.

[0063] The reaction assembly further includes: a stirrer 180; the stirrer 180 extends into the interior of the reaction chamber 100; the stirrer 180 is configured to stir the substance in the reaction chamber through its stirring end.

[0064] During the above-described implementation, the stirring action of agitator 180 ensures uniform mixing of the contents within reaction chamber 100, ensuring adequate contact between nutrients, gases, and microorganisms. By increasing the turbulence of the liquid, agitator 180 improves the efficiency of gas exchange and material transfer, particularly the transfer of dissolved oxygen and carbon dioxide, which helps meet the needs of cell growth and metabolic activity. During certain biological reactions, reactants may precipitate or agglomerate. The stirring action of agitator 180 prevents this phenomenon.

[0065] For details, please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a tangential air intake cross section provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0066] The air inlet assembly also includes: a second pipe 150; the end of the second pipe 150 close to the reaction assembly is connected to the air inlet end 110 of the reaction device; the second pipe 150 is used to input gas into the reaction assembly; the first pipe 130 is connected to the side wall of the second pipe 150 along the tangential direction of the second pipe 150.

[0067] In the above implementation process, when the first pipe 130 is connected to the side wall of the second pipe 150 along the tangential direction of the second pipe 150, the gas entering the second pipe 150 will be in the tangential direction, which helps to break the static gas layer in the second pipe 150, and form a rotating airflow in the second pipe 150 to promote the uniform distribution of the gas, so that the contact between the gases is more sufficient and the mixing efficiency is improved.
