To control the flow rate and volume of the reaction solution, adjustable throttling control devices can be used. These devices can regulate the flow rate of gas or liquid entering and exiting the bioreactor.

[0003] A utility model patent with patent authorization announcement number CN212833765U discloses a bioartificial liver perfusion bioreactor, characterized by including a cylindrical shell, a plasma inlet and a plasma inlet sealing cap at the lower end of the shell, a plasma outlet and a plasma outlet sealing cap at the upper end of the shell, a cell filling port and a cell filling port sealing cap on the side, and two filters protruding outward from the center near both ends inside the reactor.

[0004] However, existing perfusion bioreactors also have certain shortcomings. Although the adjustable flow control devices of existing perfusion bioreactors use a combination of pipe structures such as flow tubes and throttling tubes to control the outflow of the reaction liquid, the straight-through nature of the throttling tubes and other pipe structures makes it difficult for operators to adjust the flow rate.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 There are two insertion rods 5, which are symmetrically distributed on the throttling tube 4. The insertion rods 5 can be used to connect the flow tube 3 and the throttling tube 4. One end of the spring 10 is welded to the auxiliary plate 9, and the other end of the spring 10 is welded to the flow tube 3. The auxiliary plate 9 can be used to connect the spring 10.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 An adjustment mechanism 11 is provided on the throttling tube 4. The adjustment mechanism 11 includes a mounting cylinder 111. The mounting cylinder 111 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the throttling tube 4. A rotating shaft 112 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting cylinder 111. The rotating shaft 112 is rotatably connected to the throttling tube 4. A rotating disk 113 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the rotating shaft 112. The rotating disk 113 is rotatably connected to the throttling tube 4. A handle 114 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating shaft 112. The handle 114 rotates with the mounting cylinder 111. The rotating shaft 112 has an insertion hole 115 on its surface. The inner wall of the mounting cylinder 111 is connected to a positioning rod 116 by a thread. The positioning rod 116 is movably connected to the insertion hole 115. Through the setting of the rotating shaft 112, handle 114 and other structures, the rotating disk 113 can be driven to rotate, thereby adjusting the flow rate of the throttling tube 4. With the insertion hole 115, positioning rod 116 and other structures, the rotating disk 113 can be positioned to ensure the stability of the rotating disk 113 after rotation.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5The handle 114 is cross-shaped and made of rubber.

The spring 10 deforms and moves the limiting rod 8. Then, the throttling tube 4 is pushed to contact the flow tube 3, so that the insertion rod 5 passes through the connecting plate of the flow tube 3. The movable piece 7 is released so that the spring 10 returns to its original deformation, so that the auxiliary piece 9 is pulled to move closer to the flow tube 3, and the limiting rod 8 is moved. The limiting rod 8 passes through the insertion rod 5 and limits the throttling tube 4, so that the connection between the throttling tube 4 and the flow tube 3 is stable.

[0030] By pushing the positioning rod 116 to rotate in the opposite direction, under the threaded connection, the positioning rod 116 is disengaged from the insertion hole 115. Then, the handle 114 is pushed to rotate, thereby driving the rotating shaft 112 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating disk 113 to rotate. The opening and closing angle of the rotating disk 113 is adjusted, thereby regulating the flow of the throttle tube 4. Pushing the positioning rod 116 to rotate in the forward direction allows the positioning rod 116 to be inserted into the next insertion hole 115 opened on the surface of the rotating shaft 112, positioning the rotating shaft 112 and stabilizing the rotating disk 113.
