[0029] The present embodiment provides a material tank 10 for a micro-fluid homogenizer, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The tank 10 comprises a tank body 11, a piston member 12 and a cover 14. The tank body 11 has an inlet end 111 and an outlet end 112, and the outlet end 112 has an outlet port 1121.
[0030] The piston member 12 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the tank body 11, and an accommodation cavity 131 is formed between the end of the piston member 12 close to the outlet port 1121 and the tank body 11. The cover 14 is arranged at the inlet end 111 of the tank body 11 and detachably connected to the tank body 11. For example, the cover 14 and the tank body 11 are connected by snap connection. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the cover 14 and the tank body 11 can also be connected by screw connection or the like.
[0031] The cover 14 is provided with an airflow passage 141 extending through the thickness direction, and the cover 14 and the piston member 12 have a cavity 132 therebetween, which is in communication with the airflow passage 141. Through the airflow passage 141, gas can be supplied into the cavity 132 and the piston member 12 can move towards the outlet end 112.
[0032] The tank 10 for the micro-fluid homogenizer of the present application can be used for the inlet feeding of the micro-fluid homogenizer. Before feeding, the material (for example, collagen) is preloaded in the tank body 11, and then the piston member 12 is assembled into the tank body 11, so that the material is kept in the accommodation cavity 131, and then the cover 14 is connected to the tank body 11. Gas is supplied into the cavity 132 between the cover 14 and the piston member 12 through the airflow passage 141. Under the action of the gas, the piston member 12 slides relative to the inner wall of the tank body 11 and moves towards the outlet end 112 of the tank body 11, so as to continuously extrude the material in the accommodation cavity 131 out of the outlet port 1121, thereby continuously feeding into the micro-fluid homogenizer and ensuring the continuous feeding of the micro-fluid homogenizer. Moreover, the gas directly acts on the piston member 12, which extrudes the material in the accommodation cavity 131 to the outlet port 1121 for discharge, without directly contacting the material, so as to avoid blowing the material in the accommodation cavity 131.
[0033] For example, the end of the airflow passage 141 away from the cavity 132 is provided with a connecting joint 15, through which a gas supply device can be connected. When the tank 10 is used for the inlet feeding of the micro-fluid homogenizer, the gas supply device is connected to the connecting joint 15, and the gas supply device supplies gas into the airflow passage 141 through the connecting joint 15. For example, in the present embodiment, the connecting joint 15 is a luer joint.
[0034] In an embodiment, the piston piece 12 comprises a side wall 122 slidably fitted with the inner wall of the tank body 11, a bottom wall 123 close to the discharge end 112, and a connecting wall 124 connecting the side wall 122 and the bottom wall 123, the connecting wall 124 being arc-shaped. When the piston piece 12 is assembled into the tank body 11, since the connecting wall 124 connecting the side wall 122 and the bottom wall 123 is arc-shaped, it is more convenient and easier to assemble into the tank body 11.
[0035] Exemplarily, the piston piece 12 is provided with an exhaust valve 121 at one end close to the feeding end 111, the exhaust valve 121 being used for exhausting the gas in the containing cavity 131. When the piston piece 12 is assembled into the tank body 11, there can be gas between the preloaded material in the tank body 11 and the piston piece 12, and the gas in the containing cavity 131 can be squeezed and exhausted through the exhaust valve 121 of the piston piece 12 during the assembly of the piston piece 12.
[0036] Further, the cover body 14 is also provided with a feeding port 142 (refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 ), the feeding port 142 being in communication with the cavity 132. It is to be noted that when the cover body 14 is provided with the feeding port 142, it is needed to select whether the feeding port 142 or the discharge port 1121 of the tank 10 is blocked according to the connection of the tank 10 with the inlet or outlet of the micro-fluid homogenizer, when the inlet of the micro-fluid homogenizer is installed with the tank 10, the feeding port 142 of the tank 10 is blocked, when the outlet of the micro-fluid homogenizer is installed with the tank 10, the discharge port 1121 of the tank 10 is blocked, and the piston piece 12 is needed to be taken out first, and after the material is collected, the piston piece 12 is installed into the tank body 11 again to be used for feeding the micro-fluid homogenizer again to be homogenized again. When the cover body 14 is not provided with the feeding port 142, the inlet of the micro-fluid homogenizer is correspondingly installed with the tank 10, and the discharge port 1121 of the tank 10 is in communication with the inlet of the micro-fluid homogenizer.
[0037] The embodiment also provides a micro-fluid homogenizing device (not shown in the figure), which comprises a micro-fluid homogenizer and a tank 10 for the micro-fluid homogenizer, the micro-fluid homogenizer having an inlet for feeding material and an outlet for discharging material, the inlet being correspondingly installed with the tank 10, and the discharge port 1121 of the tank 10 being correspondingly communicated with the inlet of the micro-fluid homogenizer. When the cover body 14 is provided with the feeding port 142, the feeding port 142 is blocked by the first blocking plug to avoid the gas supplied from the air passage to the cavity 132 from being exhausted from the feeding port 142.
[0038] In summary, the material tank 10 for the micro-fluid homogenizer of the present application, the material is pre-filled in the accommodating cavity 131 of the tank main body 11, the gas is supplied to the cavity 132 between the cover 14 and the piston 12 through the gas flow channel 141, under the action of the gas, the piston 12 slides relative to the inner wall of the tank main body 11 and moves to the discharge end 112 of the tank main body 11, thereby continuously extruding the material in the accommodating cavity 131 and making the material discharge from the discharge port 1121, and then continuously supplying the material to the micro-fluid homogenizer, ensuring the continuous feeding of the micro-fluid homogenizer.
[0039] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application and is not used to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various changes and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
