Abstract

The present invention relates to a continuous self-pumping centrifuge of fluid, which belongs to the improvement of a continuous centrifuge. The centrifuge of the present invention has the general characteristics of the continuous self-pumping centrifuge, namely that only rotary speed is the instrument operation parameter which influences the separation effect. In addition, liquid in a rotor of the centrifuge does not flow axially but flows peripherally, so that light liquid and heavy liquid are conveniently separated and taken. A spiral liquid delivering channel at the center of the rotor can also be used as a separation channel, so that the utilization rate of a rotor space is improved. In the process of separation, a clogging phenomenon which often occurs in a disk type centrifuge is not easy to occur, so that continuous separation time is longer than that of the existing centrifuges.

Description

Self-pumping continuous flow liquid/liquid centrifugal separator
The present invention belongs to an improvement of liquid/liquid continuous centrifugal machine.
Liquid/liquid continuous centrifuges are broadly classified into two types, disc centrifuges and tube centrifuges. In the separation of animal blood for the purpose of plasma extraction, a disk centrifuge, a product available from the company ALFA-LAVAL (sweden), and the like, is generally used. This centrifuge has:
g/V8=4πn/3·cosθ·(r2 3-r1 3)·ω2/Q0
wherein g is the acceleration of gravity, vBIs the Stoke deposition velocity, n is the number of disks, θ is the disk tilt angle, r2Is the outer diameter of the disc r1Is the inner diameter of the disc, Q0Is the total flow, ω is the rotational speed ("Encyclopedia of Chemical technology", 3rd edition, volume 5, page 200, 1980 (Encyclopedia of Chemical technology, 3rd ed. vol.5, p200, 1980)). It means the separation effect g/vBThe speed of rotation omega of the rotor is controlled by the drive motor and the total flow Q depends on two operating parameters, namely the speed of rotation and the flow0Controlled by a water pump, the two operating systems are independent systems which are not related to each other,there is no dependency between these two operating parameters, so the speed and flow that affect the separation effect are two independent parameters.
In such a centrifuge for the purpose of separating animal blood, the rotation speed cannot be adjusted, but the operator manually adjusts the valve to change the plasma flow rate every time the centrifuge is operated, so that an ideal flow rate ratio of plasma and blood cells is obtained. In the disk type centrifuge, the distance between the disks is generally 0.6-2 mm, and the solution flows through the narrow space between the disks and is easily blocked in blood separation, so that an operator is required to stop the centrifuge after blood separation every 2 hours in a manufacturing factory, remove a rotor for cleaning and reinstall the centrifuge for blood separation. The efficiency of use and separation efficiency of such centrifuges depends on the skill of the operator in addition to the performance of the centrifuge itself.
The object of the present invention is to design a novel liquid/liquid centrifuge in which the operating parameters of the apparatus affecting the centrifugation effect are only one term of the rotation speed. A liquid/liquid centrifuge is designed for this purpose using the principle of self-pumping continuous flow centrifugation. The rotor of the machine is a self-pumping rotor, namely a centrifugal rotor and a self-pumping pump, and does not need to use an external water pump to supply liquid into the rotor like the prior art, the rotor cavity of the rotor is an annular cavity, the solution is separated when flowing through the cavity, and the separated heavy liquid and light liquid are discharged from two liquid throwing pipe ports respectively and are collected in containers respectively.
Due to the dependency of the flow rate on the rotational speed in the self-pumping continuous flow phenomenon, the influence of the separation effect caused by the change in the rotational speed is compensated for to a certain extent. Thus, the design of the centrifuge is simplified, and the operation is simple and convenient. When the machine is used as an animal blood separator, blood plasma and blood cells are thrown out by centrifugal force, so that the blockage phenomenon is not easy to occur, and the continuous operation time is long.
The present invention also contemplates a container for use with a self-extracting rotor.
Fig. 1 is a schematic view showing a self-pumping continuous flow phenomenon in which a hollow pipe bent at a right angle is rotated about its vertical section axis and the section is inserted into a liquid, the liquid is pumped up. When the rotating speed is increased, the pumping height of the liquid is increased, and the liquid is sprayed out from the horizontal section opening when the rotating speed reaches a certain rotating speed. This flow continues as long as the liquid in the container is continuously replenished, which we call the self-pumping continuous flow. If the middle of the vertical section of fig. 1 is expanded into a centrifugal rotor chamber, the solution with particles is drawn into the rotor chamber in a self-pumping continuous flow, centrifugal separation occurs, and the supernatant is discharged from the horizontal section, which we define as self-pumping continuous flow centrifugation (fig. 2).
In self-pumping continuous flow, the flow rate Q is a function of the speed n, and in the practical speed range, the flow rate is an exponential function Q (n) A.n which increases with the speedmWhere A is a coefficient and m is a constant greater than zero. The operation parameter psi (n) of the comprehensive instrument is introduced2/Q3Psi being a function of speed only, i.e. psi (n) n2/(A.nm). Therefore, the centrifugal clarity F, which shows the separation effect, is a function of the rotational speed only, i.e., F (n) ═ F · S · ψ (n), where F is the design parameter of the rotor and S is the sedimentation constant of the material particles. In the self-pumping continuous flow separation, the operation parameter of the instrument influencing the separation effect is only one item of the rotating speed n. The influence of the error of the rotating speed on the clarity is compensated to a certain extent, and the flow is completely compensated under the condition that the flow is in direct proportion to the square of the rotating speed. The advantage of this new technology in practice is the simplicity of operation. The liquid slinger in fig. 2 is divided into two parts, so that the separated heavy liquid and light liquid in the rotor cavity are respectively discharged from different liquid slingers, and the self-pumping continuous flow liquid/liquid centrifugal separator is realized.
The invention provides a self-pumping continuous flow liquid/liquid centrifugal separator, which comprises a driver (1), a main shaft (2), a shaft sleeve (19), a rotor with an annular separation channel, a container with a liquid inlet groove, a heavy liquid collecting groove and a light liquid collecting groove, and the like. The machine also includes a frame, dampers, a housing, etc., which are similar to conventional centrifuges.
The driver (1) drives the rotor to rotate through the main shaft (2) and the shaft sleeve (19). Due to the self-pumping continuous flow phenomenon, the rotor automatically pumps the solution from the liquid inlet groove of the container, the solution is separated by centrifugal force generated by rotation when flowing through the annular separation channel, and the separated heavy liquid and light liquid are simultaneously thrown out of the rotor from the upper liquid throwing tube (21) and the lower liquid throwing tube (23) and are collected in the light liquid collecting tank and the heavy liquid collecting tank respectively.
The self-pumping rotor is provided with a liquid sending channel (15), a separation channel (20), a liquid inlet pipe (8), an upper liquid throwing pipe (21) and a lower liquid throwing pipe (23). The liquid feeding channel (15) is communicated with the liquid inlet pipe (8), the separation channel (20) is connected with the other end of the liquid feeding channel (15) and the upper and lower liquid throwing pipes (21, 23) to form a single fluid channel which passes through the liquid feeding channel (15) and the separation channel (20) from the liquid inlet pipe (8), and the tail end of the fluid flow path of the separation channel (20) is connected with the upper and lower liquid throwing pipes (21, 23). The radial distances from the inlet ends of the upper liquid throwing pipe and the lower liquid throwing pipe to the center of the rotor are different, and the inlet of the upper liquid throwing pipe (21) is closer to the center than the inlet of the lower liquid throwing pipe (23).
The liquid inlet groove of the container is arranged at the upper part or the lower part of the rotor, and when the liquid inlet groove is arranged at the upper part of the rotor, the liquid inlet pipe (8) positioned at the upper end of the rotor enables the liquid conveying channel (15) of the rotor to be connected with the solution in the liquid inlet groove. A light liquid collecting tank and a heavy liquid collecting tank are arranged in the container at the positions corresponding to the height of the openings of the upper and lower liquid throwing pipes (21, 23), and are respectively provided with an upper liquid discharging nozzle (22) and a lower liquid discharging nozzle (24) for discharging and collecting corresponding liquid. When the liquid inlet groove is arranged at the lower part of the rotor, the liquid inlet pipe is arranged at the lower end of the shaft sleeve, and the shaft sleeve is provided with a liquid passing hole (17). The solution in the liquid inlet groove is pumped into the rotor through the annular space between the main shaft (2) and the liquid inlet pipe (8) through the liquid through hole (17).
The invention has the advantages that the rotor of the machine is a continuous rotor and is also a water pump, liquid is automatically supplied into the rotor in the continuous flow centrifugal process, and separated heavy liquid and light liquid are automatically discharged out of the rotor, so that the machine does not need a separate liquid supply pump. Self-pumping continuous flow centrifugation is based on the self-pumping continuous flow phenomenon in which the instrument operating parameter is only one term of the rotational speed due to the inherent dependence between flow and rotational speed in the phenomenon. The influence of the change of the only operation parameter on the separation effect is compensated by the functional relation between the flow and the rotating speed to a certain extent, and can be completely compensated under specific conditions. If the cross section, length and shape of the liquid channel from the liquid inlet pipe (8) to the upper and lower liquid throwing pipes (21, 23) are changed, the relation between the total flow and the rotating speed and the proportion of the light and heavy liquid flow are changed to adapt to the separation requirements of different solutions. When the centrifugal liquid throwing machine is used for extracting the blood plasma of animal blood, the phenomenon of blockage existing in the existing disc-type centrifugal machine is not easy to occur due to the fact that liquid is thrown by centrifugal force, and the continuous operation is longer. The machine also has the advantages of simple structure, convenient operation and the like.
