Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of operational isolation reactor technology, specifically an operational isolation reactor for promoting the growth of microalgae cells. Background Technology

[0002] An isolated reactor for promoting microalgal cell growth is a highly efficient and controllable microalgal culture system. This reactor employs an isolated design to effectively prevent microalgal cell escape and avoid the influence of the external environment on microalgal growth. Its compact structure, small footprint, and ease of operation and management facilitate operation. The reactor has an integrated light source system that provides appropriate light intensity and spectrum according to the photosynthetic needs of the microalgae. Simultaneously, an intelligent control system adjusts the light duration and cycle to meet the needs of different growth stages of the microalgae. The reactor features a precise nutrient supply system that automatically adds appropriate amounts of nutrients according to the microalgal growth requirements. This helps maintain the optimal growth state of microalgal cells and increases microalgal biomass. It contributes to increasing microalgal biomass, improving microalgal quality, and reducing production costs. It has broad application prospects in fields such as bioenergy, wastewater treatment, and food safety.

[0003] The prior art provides an operational isolation reactor for promoting the growth of Haematococcus pluvialis cells (publication number: CN220724110U). The device includes a device shell, and a device top cover is fixedly connected to the top surface of the device shell.

[0004] However, the device still has the following drawbacks:

[0005] During cell culture, the metabolic activities of cells generate heat. If this heat accumulates and is not dissipated in time, it will have several negative effects on the cells: high temperatures accelerate intracellular biochemical reactions, but this acceleration is not entirely beneficial. When the temperature exceeds the cell's tolerance range, enzyme activity will decrease or even become inactive, leading to obstruction of metabolic pathways. In addition, high temperatures can damage the integrity of the cell membrane, causing intracellular substances to leak out and affecting the cell's normal physiological functions. Therefore, we need to propose an operational isolation reactor that promotes the growth of microalgae cells. Utility Model Content

[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0026] An operational isolation reactor for promoting microalgae cell growth includes an outer shell 1, a top cover 2 at the upper end of the outer shell 1, a dustproof plate 3 fixedly connected inside the top cover 2, a motor 4 at the inner bottom of the top cover 2, a rotating frame 5 fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 4, an illumination lamp 6 on the side wall of the rotating frame 5, a transparent shell 8 fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the outer shell 1, and a cleaning component 7 for cleaning the outer side of the transparent shell 8.

[0027] A sealing cap 9 is provided at the upper end of the transparent shell 8, a heat-conducting plate 12 is fixedly connected inside the transparent shell 8, and a heat dissipation component 13 for dissipating heat from the heat-conducting plate 12 is provided inside the outer shell 1.

[0028] For example, the transparent shell 8 and the heat-conducting plate 12 contain the culture medium, and the sealing cap 9 seals it to prevent the influence of miscellaneous bacteria. During the culture process, the motor 4 drives the rotating frame 5 to rotate. The side wall of the lighting lamp 6 is equipped with a switch and has a battery inside. When the lighting lamp 6 is turned on, it provides a light source for cell growth. The dustproof plate 3 prevents dust from entering the interior of the top cover 2 and facilitates the exhaust of air from the interior of the outer shell 1.

[0029] The heat dissipation assembly 13 includes a water channel 131 formed at the bottom of the inner shell 1. A water outlet pipe 132 is fixedly connected inside the outer shell 1. A water tank 133 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the water outlet pipe 132. A plurality of evenly distributed heat dissipation fins 134 are fixedly connected inside the water tank 133. A plurality of evenly distributed fans 135 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the water tank 133. A partition 136 is fixedly connected inside the water tank 133. The partition 136 is fixedly connected to the plurality of heat dissipation fins 134 respectively. A water pump 137 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner shell 133. A water inlet pipe 138 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the water pump 137 through a pipe. The water inlet pipe 138 is fixedly connected to the outer shell 1.

[0030] For example, the water pump 137 draws water out of the water tank 133, and the water flows through the inlet pipe 138 into the water channel 131. The water flows into contact with the heat-conducting plate 12 and dissipates the heat on the heat-conducting plate 12. The water flows through the water channel 131 into the outlet pipe 132 and flows back into the water tank 133. The water flows through the heat dissipation fins 134, and the fan 135 cools the heat dissipation fins 134. In turn, the heat dissipation fins 134 cool the returning water. The partition 136 divides the interior of the water tank 133 into two areas and blocks the returning water at one end of the heat dissipation fins 134, so that the water can fully contact the heat dissipation fins 134.

[0031] A vent valve 10 is fixedly connected inside the sealing cover 9, and a detection probe 11 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the sealing cover 9.

[0032] For example, the waste gas generated during cell growth is discharged from the transparent shell 8 through the vent valve 10, while the detection probe 11 detects the temperature of the culture medium and transmits the electrical signal to the control panel 17.

[0033] The cleaning assembly 7 includes two sliding rods 71 ​​slidably connected to the inside of the side wall of the rotating frame 5. One end of each sliding rod 71 is fixedly connected to a limit plate 72. A spring 73 is sleeved on the outside of each sliding rod 71. A mounting plate 74 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the two sliding rods 71. A cleaning plate 75 is provided on the outside of the mounting plate 74. The cleaning plate 75 is rotatably connected to the transparent shell 8. A fixing ring 76 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the cleaning plate 75. The fixing ring 76 is slidably connected to the mounting plate 74. A fixing bolt 77 is provided inside the mounting plate 74. The fixing bolt 77 is threadedly connected to the fixing ring 76.

[0034] For example, when the rotating frame 5 rotates, the sliding rod 71 drives the mounting plate 74 and other components to rotate. Under the elastic force of the spring 73, the mounting plate 74 drives the cleaning plate 75 to move towards the transparent shell 8, so that the cleaning plate 75 is attached to the outside of the transparent shell 8 to clean the outside of the transparent shell 8. When the cleaning plate 75 is worn, the fixing bolt 77 is removed, the fixing bolt 77 is separated from the fixing ring 76, the limitation on the cleaning plate 75 is released, and the cleaning plate 75 is replaced.

[0035] An air inlet pipe 14 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the outer shell 1. An aeration head is provided at the upper end of the air inlet pipe 14. An inlet pipe 15 and an outlet pipe 16 are respectively connected to the bottom of the outer shell 1. The inlet pipe 15 and the outlet pipe 16 are respectively fixedly connected to the heat-conducting plate 12.

[0036] For example, culture medium is injected into and discharged from the transparent shell 8 through the inlet pipe 15 and the outlet pipe 16, and gas required for cell growth is injected into the transparent shell 8 through the air inlet pipe 14. Nutrients can also be injected through the inlet pipe 15.

[0037] A control panel 17 is provided on the side wall of the outer casing 1. The control panel 17 is electrically connected to the motor 4, the detection probe 11, the fan 135, and the water pump 137.

[0038] For example, the control panel 17 controls the electrical appliances inside the device to operate.

[0039] Working principle: When this utility model is in use, culture medium is injected into and discharged from the transparent shell 8 through the inlet pipe 15 and the outlet pipe 16, and the gas required for cell growth is injected into the transparent shell 8 through the air inlet pipe 14. At the same time, nutrients can be injected through the inlet pipe 15. The transparent shell 8 and the heat-conducting plate 12 contain the culture medium, and the sealing cover 9 seals it to prevent the influence of bacteria. During the culture process, the motor 4 drives the rotating frame 5 to rotate. The side wall of the lighting lamp 6 is equipped with a switch and has a battery inside. When the lighting lamp 6 is turned on, it provides a light source for cell growth. The dustproof plate 3 prevents dust from entering the interior of the top cover 2 and facilitates the exhaust of the shell 1. The waste gas generated by cell growth is discharged from the transparent shell 8 through the vent valve 10. At the same time, the detection probe 11 detects the temperature of the culture medium and transmits the electrical signal to the control panel 17, which displays the temperature of the culture medium.

[0040] When the temperature is too high, the water pump 137 draws water out of the water tank 133. The water flows through the inlet pipe 138 into the water channel 131. The water flows into the heat-conducting plate 12 and dissipates the heat on the heat-conducting plate 12. The water flows through the water channel 131 into the outlet pipe 132 and flows back into the water tank 133. The water flows through the heat dissipation fins 134, and the fan 135 cools the heat dissipation fins 134. The heat dissipation fins 134 then cool the returning water. The partition 136 divides the interior of the water tank 133 into two areas and blocks the returning water at one end of the heat dissipation fins 134, so that the water can fully contact the heat dissipation fins 134.

[0041] When the rotating frame 5 rotates, it drives the mounting plate 74 and other components to rotate via the slide rod 71. Under the elastic force of the spring 73, the mounting plate 74 drives the cleaning plate 75 to move towards the transparent shell 8, so that the cleaning plate 75 is attached to the outside of the transparent shell 8 to clean the outside of the transparent shell 8. When the cleaning plate 75 is worn, the fixing bolt 77 is removed, the fixing bolt 77 is separated from the fixing ring 76, the limitation on the cleaning plate 75 is released, and the cleaning plate 75 can be replaced.

[0042] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
