It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features of the present utility model can be combined with each other.
[0023] Some embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] Example 1:
[0025] Combination Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a concentrated bovine serum albumin ultrafiltration device, including: a main body 100 and an adjustment mechanism 200.
[0026] The main body 100 includes two symmetrically arranged housings 110, an ultrafiltration membrane 120 installed on the inner wall of the housing 110, an input end regulating cylinder 130 disposed above the housing 110, a first connecting pipe 140 connecting the input end regulating cylinder 130 to the inner cavity of the two housings 110, an input pipe 150 installed in the middle of the input end regulating cylinder 130, an output end regulating cylinder 160 disposed on one side of the input end regulating cylinder 130, a second connecting pipe 170 connecting the output end regulating cylinder 160 to the inner cavity of the two housings 110, an output pipe 180 installed in the middle of the output end regulating cylinder 160, and a flow sensor 190 installed on the output pipe 180.
[0027] The shell 110 is cylindrical and is used to form a closed space. The ultrafiltration membrane 120 is annular, with its top end fixed to the inner top wall of the shell 110 and its bottom end fixed to the inner bottom wall of the shell 110. The inner cavity of the shell 110 is divided into an inner cavity and an outer cavity. After the bovine serum albumin enters the inner cavity, it is filtered by the ultrafiltration membrane 120, and the product enters the outer cavity.
[0028] The input regulating cylinder 130 is connected to the two housings 110 through two first connecting pipes 140, and the output regulating cylinder 160 is connected to the two housings 110 through two second connecting pipes 170. One end of the first connecting pipe 140 is connected to the input regulating cylinder 130 and the other end is connected to the inner cavity of the housing 110. One end of the second connecting pipe 170 is connected to the output regulating cylinder 160 and the other end is connected to the outer cavity of the housing 110.
[0029] The input pipe 150 is used to feed bovine serum albumin into the input regulating cylinder 130, and the output pipe 180 is used to output the product filtered by the ultrafiltration membrane 120. The flow sensor 190 is used to monitor the flow rate in the output pipe 180 in real time. When the flow rate in the output pipe 180 is lower than the set value, it is determined that the ultrafiltration membrane 120 is blocked. At this time, the regulating mechanism 200 is activated to switch the ultrafiltration membrane 120, which can realize the automatic switching of the ultrafiltration membrane 120, thereby ensuring the stability of the bovine serum albumin filtration process.
[0030] The regulating mechanism 200 can switch the operation of the ultrafiltration membrane 120 according to the data of the flow sensor 190. It includes a sealing plug 220 movably disposed in the inner cavity of the input regulating cylinder 130 and the output regulating cylinder 160, a round rod 210 fixed to the end of the sealing plug 220 and extending outward, a discharge component 230 installed at the end of the round rod 210 corresponding to the input regulating cylinder 130, an injection component 240 installed at the end of the round rod 210 corresponding to the output regulating cylinder 160, and a control component 250 installed between the input regulating cylinder 130 and the output regulating cylinder 160 and fixedly connected to the round rod 210.
[0031] The sealing plug 220 inside the input regulating cylinder 130 can seal the first connecting pipe 140 on one side, so that the bovine serum albumin in the input regulating cylinder 130 can enter the housing 110 on the other side through the connecting pipe on the other side for ultrafiltration. The sealing plug 220 inside the output regulating cylinder 160 can seal the second connecting pipe 170 on one side, so that the ultrafiltration product in the housing 110 on the other side can enter the output regulating cylinder 160 and then be sent out through the output pipe 180.
[0032] The round rod 210 is used to drive the sealing plug 220 to move. The control component 250 includes a bracket 251 fixed on the input end adjusting cylinder 130 and the output end adjusting cylinder 160, an electric telescopic rod 252 installed on the bracket 251, and a connecting frame 253 fixed to the end of the electric telescopic rod 252 and fixedly connected to the round rod 210 on both sides. The bracket 251 is used to ensure the stability of the electric telescopic rod 252. The connecting frame 253 is used to fix the round rods 210 on both sides to the end of the electric telescopic rod 252, so that when the electric telescopic rod 252 extends or retracts, it can drive the round rods 210 on both sides to move synchronously, that is, drive the sealing plug 220 in the input end adjusting cylinder 130 and the output end adjusting cylinder 160 to move synchronously.
[0033] A groove 221 is provided at the bottom of the sealing plug 220, and a flow channel 211 is provided inside the round rod 210. One end of the flow channel 211 is connected to the groove 221, and the other end is connected to the injection part 240 or the discharge part 230, so that clean water can be injected into the inner and outer cavities of the housing 110 through the flow channel 211 and the groove 221 to backwash the ultrafiltration membrane 120. At the same time, it is convenient for the wastewater generated during cleaning to be discharged outward through the groove 221 and the flow channel 211.
[0034] The injection unit 240 is used to inject clean water into the housing 110 to backwash the ultrafiltration membrane 120. It includes an inlet pipe 241 fixed to the end of the round rod 210 and connected to the flow channel 211 inside the round rod 210, and a second electric valve 242 installed on the inlet pipe 241. The inlet pipe 241 is connected to the water pump to facilitate the injection of clean water. The second electric valve 242 is used to control the opening and closing of the inlet pipe 241.
[0035] The discharge component 230 is used to discharge the wastewater generated by backwashing. It includes a water outlet pipe 231 fixed to the end of the round rod 210 and communicating with the inner flow channel 211 of the round rod 210, and a first electric valve 232 installed on the water outlet pipe 231. The first electric valve 232 is used to control the opening and closing of the water outlet pipe 231.
[0036] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: During use, bovine serum albumin is fed into the input regulating cylinder 130 through the input pipe 150, and then enters the corresponding inner cavity of the housing 110 through the first connecting pipe 140. After filtration by the ultrafiltration membrane 120, the product enters the output regulating cylinder 160 through the second connecting pipe 170, and is then discharged through the output pipe 180. Simultaneously, the flow sensor 190 monitors the flow rate in the output pipe 180 in real time. When the flow rate in the output pipe 180 falls below a set value, it is determined that the ultrafiltration membrane 120 is blocked. At this time, the electric telescopic rod 252 is activated. The activation of the electric telescopic rod 252 drives the round rod 210 to move through the connecting frame 253. The movement of the round rod 210 causes the sealing plug 220 to move, sealing the first connecting pipe 140 and the second connecting pipe 170 corresponding to the ultrafiltration membrane 120. At this point, the bovine serum albumin entering the input regulating cylinder 130... The ultrafiltration membrane 120 inside the housing 110 enters through the first connecting pipe 140 on the other side, and is filtered by the ultrafiltration membrane 120 inside the housing 110. It then enters the output regulating cylinder 160 through the second connecting pipe 170 on the other side. At the same time, the cleaning program for the clogged ultrafiltration membrane 120 is started. The first electric valve 232 and the second electric valve 242 are opened. Clean water is sent through the inlet pipe 241 and the flow channel 211 in the round rod 210 into the groove 221 of the sealing plug 220 in the output regulating cylinder 160. Then, it is injected back into the inner cavity of the housing 110 through the second connecting pipe 170 to backwash the clogged ultrafiltration membrane 120. The wastewater generated by backwashing enters the groove 221 on the sealing plug 220 in the input regulating cylinder 130 through the first connecting pipe 140, and then enters the outlet pipe 231 through the flow channel 211 in the round rod 210 to be discharged, thus realizing the automatic cleaning of the ultrafiltration membrane 120.
