Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1-7 As shown, this utility model provides a continuous bioreactor separation device, including a barrel 1. A fixing plate 3 is provided on the inner side of the barrel 1 near the top. Three sets of separation barrels 4 pass through the inside of the fixing plate 3. The three sets of separation barrels 4 are rotatably connected to the fixing plate 3 and are all connected to a drive mechanism to facilitate their rotation. A stand 7 is provided on the top of the separation barrel 4. A conical bottom plate 5 is slidably connected to the inner side of the separation barrel 4. Multiple sets of through holes 6 are opened on the side wall of the separation barrel 4 and the bottom of the conical bottom plate 5. A lifting mechanism is provided at the bottom of the stand 7 to facilitate the up and down movement of the conical bottom plate 5. A main pipe 18 connected to a solid-liquid mixture supply device is provided above the barrel 1. Three-component pipes 19 are provided at the bottom of the main pipe 18. The other end of the three-component pipes 19 passes through the center of the three sets of stands 7 and is rotatably connected to the stands 7.

[0025] Specifically, the set tank 1 provides a stable working platform for the bioreactor separation operation. The three sets of drive mechanisms and three sets of separation tanks 4 effectively improve the efficiency of the bioreactor separation operation. The three sets of lifting mechanisms and the conical bottom plate 5 facilitate the upward movement of the filtered solid biological raw materials for cleaning and maintenance. In conjunction with the three separately set drive mechanisms, a specific separation tank 4 can be cleaned and maintained individually during the separation operation. Thus, through the above structure, the solid biological raw materials can be easily removed without stopping the equipment, ensuring the continuity of the bioreactor separation operation and effectively improving production and processing efficiency.

[0026] The lifting mechanism includes a first motor 8. Two sets of limiting grooves 12 are symmetrically provided on the inner wall of the separation tank 4. Two sets of limiting blocks 11, which are adapted to the two sets of limiting grooves 12, are symmetrically provided on the edge of the conical bottom plate 5. A boss 10 is provided on the top of the conical bottom plate 5. A screw 9 is threadedly connected to the boss 10. One end of the screw 9 is connected to the output end of the first motor 8 installed on the top of the stand 7. By starting the first motor 8, the first motor 8 can drive the screw 9 to rotate. Under the action of the screw 9 threadedly connected to the boss 10, and with the limiting action of the two sets of limiting grooves 12 and the two sets of limiting blocks 11, the conical bottom plate 5 can be moved upward, thereby moving the solid biological raw materials accumulated on the top of the conical bottom plate 5 out of the separation tank 4. Thus, the solid biological raw materials can be easily removed, greatly improving the convenience of operation.

[0027] The drive mechanism includes a second motor 16. A turbine ring 13 is fitted around the outer ring of the separation tank 4. The turbine ring 13 meshes with a vortex rod 14. One end of the vortex rod 14 is rotatably connected to a fixing block 15 located on the top of the fixing plate 3. The other end of the vortex rod 14 is connected to the output end of the second motor 16 installed on the outside of the tank body 1. By starting the second motor 16, the second motor 16 can drive the vortex rod 14 to rotate. The vortex rod 14, through meshing with the turbine ring 13, can drive the turbine ring 13 to rotate. The turbine ring 13 can drive the separation tank 4 to rotate, so that the separation tank 4 can perform centrifugal separation of the solid-liquid mixture inside. When it is necessary to clean and maintain a certain separation tank 4, the corresponding second motor 16 can be controlled. Thus, by setting it up, it is convenient to take out solid biological raw materials without stopping the equipment, ensuring the continuity of the biological reaction separation operation and effectively improving the production and processing efficiency.

[0028] The fixed plate 3 is fitted with a cover plate 17 on the inner side of the barrel 1. The cover plate 17 can be used to enclose the drive mechanism. Each of the three groups of pipes 19 is equipped with a control valve 20. The control valve 20 can be used to control the opening and closing of the pipes 19 independently. Four sets of support legs 2 are installed at the bottom of the barrel 1. A discharge pipe 21 is installed on one side of the barrel 1 near the bottom. The support legs 2 can provide stable support for the device. The discharge pipe 21 can be used to facilitate the discharge of the separated liquid biological raw materials.

[0029] Working principle: First, by starting the second motor 16, the second motor 16 drives the worm gear 14 to rotate, which in turn drives the turbine ring 13 to rotate, which in turn drives the separation tank 4 to rotate. Thus, the separation tank 4 can perform centrifugal separation of the solid-liquid mixture inside. When it is necessary to clean and maintain a certain separation tank 4, the corresponding second motor 16 can be controlled to stop the rotation of the corresponding separation tank 4. Then, by starting the first motor 8, the first motor 8 drives the screw 9 to rotate, which in turn drives the conical bottom plate 5 to move upward, thereby removing the solid biological raw material accumulated on the top of the conical bottom plate 5 from the separation tank 4, so as to facilitate the removal of the solid biological raw material, thus completing the entire operation process.
