Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automatic material supplement of enzymolysis reaction tank, especially to an enzymolysis reaction tank with automatic material supplement function. BACKGROUND

[0002] Enzymolysis reaction tank is a key equipment widely used in biological chemical industry, food processing, pharmaceutical and many other fields, which plays a crucial role in the process of generating target products through enzymatic catalysis of substrates. The equipment combines automatic material supplement and scraping of adhering materials in the inner wall of the stirring tank, providing a strong guarantee for efficient and stable production.

[0003] Enzymolysis reaction tank usually needs the following technologies during operation:

[0004] 1. The tank material needs to have good corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance and certain strength to adapt to different reaction environments, ensure the service life of the reaction tank and the safety of the reaction process.

[0005] 2. The stirring system makes the materials fully mixed in the tank through reasonable design of stirring paddle and speed control, ensures uniform contact between enzyme and substrate, and promotes efficient enzymatic reaction.

[0006] 3. The temperature control system uses heating or cooling devices and temperature sensors to accurately adjust the temperature in the tank to meet the specific requirements of different enzymatic reactions on temperature.

[0007] 4. The pH value adjustment system maintains a stable pH value environment in the tank through acid and alkali adding devices and pH sensors.

[0008] At present, in industrial production, there are various forms and designs of enzymolysis reaction tank. Some traditional enzymolysis reaction tanks use manual material supplement, and the operator adds materials according to experience and regular inspection, which is prone to inaccurate material addition, affecting the reaction process and results. For the treatment of adhering materials in the tank, some reaction tanks have no effective cleaning measures and can only rely on manual cleaning after the reaction is completed, which not only consumes time and effort, but also is difficult to completely remove residual materials.

[0009] However, the existing enzymatic reaction tank still has some problems in practical application. In terms of automatic feeding, inaccurate feeding may lead to excessive or insufficient substrate or enzyme, which will reduce the rate and conversion rate of enzymatic reaction, and seriously affect the product quality. In terms of cleaning, residual materials are easy to breed bacteria and microorganisms, especially in the food and pharmaceutical industries, which poses a serious threat to the hygiene and safety of products. Moreover, the residual materials may change the local environment in the reaction tank, such as affecting the uniformity of temperature and pH value, thereby affecting the activity and stability of the enzyme. The present application proposes an improved enzymatic reaction tank design to overcome the limitations of traditional design and improve the efficiency, quality and safety of enzymatic reaction by optimizing the automatic feeding system to improve the feeding accuracy and flexibility, and perfecting the cleaning mechanism of the inner wall of the tank.
