Description

Handle the method and the device of substrate
The present invention relates to a kind of method of handling substrate, its objective is and reduce the degree that the organism relevant with substrate pollutes; The present invention be more particularly directed to being used for the processing of veterinary and foodstuff medically and article.
The sterilization widely that vegetable material such as fruit, vegetable and corn are carried out and biological proofing be in order to eliminate unwanted pollution.These processing are inappropriate to environment usually, and there is potential danger in the consumer of product, and are eradicating some parasitic bulk-growth particularly aspect the conk, and the effect of this processing is relatively poor.Similarly, many animal products must be anticipated acceptable level when reducing contaminating microorganisms and use to the end before selling, and for example egg and poultry products are immersed in the germicidal solution usually with eliminating bacteria, as Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes.
For these chemical treatments, physical disinfection is handled in the goods that are applied in routinely for consumer, veterinary or medically use further.For example, applied microwave is disinfected the mushroom fungi plant, and autoclaved has then constituted the basis of in autoclave medical apparatus and instruments being handled.These processing all have potential danger and/or energy intensity and/or need time enough to reach optimum effect.And end article is foodstuff or chemical individual, and its structure may be changed into and impair desirable characteristic such as local flavor and/or effectiveness.
The invention provides a new method, all substrate of being mentioned above this method can be applied to or the like.Use this method can make the organism of pollution obtain not having the processing of viability at short notice, and do not have the adverse effect of previous method, do not influence the quality of end article requirement or stay residue environment or physiology infringement.And, in some applications, for example suppressing some parasitic bulk-growths, as the conk aspect, this method is more effective than existing method.
This method depends on such fact, is elevated on the critical temperature and when keeping time enough, this organism can no longer include viability when polluting organic temperature.This temperature will be with organic difference difference, but for a lot of antibacterials and fungus, this temperature is approximately 45 ℃.Yet by using as thermal medium the superheated steam or the radiation of use as microwave, the temperature of substrate also will rise to certain value, and this temperature value is unsuitable fully to the use of end article.In the method, when stromal surface or be heated to when losing foregoing viability with the organism that the liquid form that is suspended in the substrate exists, substrate (not being its surface) still is not subjected to the influence of described processing.
From the aspect of maximum, the invention provides a method of handling substrate, to reduce the organic level of polluting.This method is included in directly laser emission on the substrate, and the pattern of laser emission and quantity can be selected, as long as make it can handle the organism relevant with there not being viability substrate, and in fact the character of substrate itself remain unchanged.
In the method for optimizing of first aspect present invention, substrate and laser radiation move relative to each other to guarantee that stromal surface is exposed in the radiation basically.Preferably, the relative motion of substrate comprises the rotation with respect to laser radiation of substrate such as food unit, rolls for more preferably.Therefore, the unitary continuous rolling of for example realizing on the drum-type conveyer belt of routine of food can be used, other move easily will be below the present invention described device illustrated.
Laser radiation can be had the ability to reach requirement heating organism forever do not change the required character of substrate to there not being viability lasing light emitter and supplied with by any.Typical example is the laser of heat, for example carbon dioxide (CO 2) and yttrium-aluminium-garnet (YAG) lasing light emitter.Such lasing light emitter is had the ability to be about in power output and is made things convenient for real estate to give birth to laser radiation under 30 to 50 watts, but other power output also is applicable, is particularly having on the substrate of the bigger composition that rejuvenates than foodstuff.This will be estimated by those skilled in the art.
The lasing light emitter of YAG easily of example that is used for describing below and device is the neodymium (Nd: YAG) that mixed up yttrium-aluminium-garnet.CO 2Radiate bright dipping with YAG laser with different wavelength.CO 2Be 10.6 microns, YAG is 1.06 microns.Because the different absorption level of irradiated object, employed laser pattern need be selected with regard to each object.For example, tuber is handled, preferred laser is Nd: YAG, then is CO to egg 2Have been found that and all be convenient to for these two kinds under continuous wave CW mode, operate, but under suitable lasing light emitter, pulsed also can be used.
The laser example suitable for the CW mode has CO 2Laser and Nd: YAG laser, wherein CO 2Laser can have been bought from California, USA Synrad company, and model is D48/5(60 watt), Nd: YAG laser can have been bought from the Spectron laser system of Britain Rugby, and model is SL901(90 watt).The power density of these laser is approximately 50 watts/centimetre 2
The shape of laser radiation is variable, but the light beam that can adopt fan-shaped divergent beams expediently or provide by one or more lasing light emitters.These light beams are easily towards the route that crosses substrate transportation, provide whole surface is carried out irradiation and needn't be made the substrate motion but substrate can be placed into one or more lasing light emitters.When handling the liquid of laser irradiation, laser emission can be placed into crosses whole cross section and passes through flow of liquid.
Laser beam can make its one-tenth fan-shaped by the whole bag of tricks, is apparent that to use scanning mirror or pass through to use the cylinder eyeglass.Scanning mirror is used for folded light beam.Explanation for example, laser is that diameter is approximately 5 to 6 millimeters directional lights, they rotate around central shaft.This operation can be by computer control to provide predetermined scanning angle and speed.The method of cylinder eyeglass is before irradiating object, places an eyeglass in beam.Thereby causing beam deflection to be created in the sectored light under the certain angle, this angle is controlled by lens geometry.
Placement between lasing light emitter and processed substrate distance can change, and this distance is made up of two parts route: (ⅰ) distance from lasing light emitter to fan-shaped mechanism reaches (ⅱ) fan-shaped mechanism to the distance of object.For (ⅰ), light beam is parallel and can be by reflexing to the remote transmission of fan-shaped mechanism, this distance can from several centimetres to tens of rice, but in the present embodiment, this distance is about 50 centimetres.For (ⅱ), determined substrate to be exposed to the scope that covered by fan beam among the laser fully from the distance of fan-shaped mechanism and the segment angle that provided.Distance and the segmental angle of composition are about 50 centimetres and 20 ° respectively easily.
The structure of the part of blood processor is used for installing substrate, all can by laser irradiation to the support part by avoiding thermogenetic material to constitute.Therefore, metal is used in the parts suggestion that links to each other with suitable heat abstractor system, can avoid like this by transporting and the indirect of assembly structure to substrate.Otherwise in all possible step, any object except that stromal surface or organism all should be avoided heating.
This will be estimated, and the suitable temperature control of all surface of contacting substrate will allow high relatively surface area to collect organism, particularly microorganism; When allowing substrate to have low relatively surface to volume ratio, organism is treated to no viability, and substrate is kept under this temperature, and its required character can not be affected substantially enduringly.Concerning the those of skill in the art of those control temperature, will produce suitable cooling body.
Any substrate all can be handled its surface by method of the present invention, but most of substrate of handling are if then have adverse influence with the method for distinguishing processing.For this reason, will be favourable to the thermoplasticity that also will use and the processing of chemosensitive material after some sterilization.Yet most of suitable substrate will be any consumable materials, and they can influence the required character of its taste or quality or other by known processing.The bonded crop of every energy (seed and frumentum), vegetable, root piece crop, fruit, feedstuff, ornamental plant, leaf and bean (tea, Nicotiana tabacum L., coffee) and dairy factory and can handle with the place that laser transmits fluid product comprise that plantation/sowing is before or after gathering in the crops.
Organism is processed into no viability or is eliminated, typical and microorganism the most effectively, for example antibacterial, fungus, algae and virus.For example the substrate of egg is subject to the influence of antibacterial such as Salmonella, and it can be successfully processed.
By method of the present invention, the present invention further provides the device that is used for the substrate laser treatment, comprise (a) lasing source; (b) being used to operate substrate is article and unitary device, and by blood processor, laser radiation can be radiated on the processed substrate, pollutes that organism is treated to no viability and the required character of substrate remains unchanged.
Preferred device comprises a laser beam that is used to influence the equipment of substrate relative motion and is used to shine each main position of cell surface.
Matrix optimization ground is transmitted as the unit of article such as vegetable material, along a processing path movement, realizes unitary relative motion and laser emission typically on roller conveyor, and can transport it into continuous processing region.Other path also can be provided, and for example transmits that part of determined fluid path of wall by the laser by laser irradiation; Perhaps by the determined path of a series of reflection units, like this, substrate will guarantee that on the vertical direction of laser emission path its main area is exposed on the proper level of laser, thereby reaches desirable effect.If be mounted to like this, make one or more laser beams can cover its whole outer surface basically, so independent article can be handled under the relative motion not having.
Preferably a series of laser beams in acceptance point straight radial separately, are typically fan beam as described above along conveyer belt.
Therefore, device of the present invention is suitable to handling substrate.Because most of substrate only need to handle its outer surface, do not allow laser irradiation to run through, therefore a lot of different products can be handled with identical device, as long as laser pattern (CO 2Or YAG), time of exposure and power level adjust to and handle the suitable numerical value of pollutant, should make to pollute organism and lose viability, do not damage substrate again.
The mechanism and the substrate on chiller surface interrelate, and this is that those those skilled in the art are conceivable, but need carry out special training to the last use of special device.
To describe method and apparatus of the present invention by example and accompanying drawing below, other embodiment will be conceivable concerning those skilled in the art.

Example 3: be used for the device that the egg surface sterilizing is handled
As shown in Figure 1, arranged some conveying rollers (1) in parallel with each other along the carriage direction of device, spiral clamping element (2) is arranged in the surface of cylinder, so just makes at the article (3) that are close to recess between the cylinder to rotate and push ahead.These recesses (4) refer to and form narrow road therein, and they extend to charging aperture (5), laser treatment unit (6) and be sent to classification and the discharging opening of packing (7) along transfer path.Cylinder or be that clamping element is made by elastomeric material at least, for example rubber.When article travelled forward, article were around the axle rotation that is transverse to direct of travel.
When adopting substrate article such as egg to be placed on narrow road, cylinder is driven around its longitudinal axis rotation, like this, article is pushed ahead, and is rotating and is passing through arrival classification of laser treatment unit and bagging area.
As shown in Figure 2, there are two YAG or CO in the unitary inside of laser treatment 2The fan-shaped device of lasing light emitter (8) is mounted to towards corresponding narrow road and does laser emission, and the laser irradiation profile is fan-shaped (9), (10), and its plane parallel is in cylinder.Like this, when their rotated and travel forward by this zone, laser irradiation was also processed on article, but in fact can not shine any position of cylinder.Any radiation by narrow road is all offset by the fin under the cylinder, and for example, the light beam brake of light absorbent is placed on the opposite of a certain position, and light beam is launched from this position, can catch any useless laser.
The variation of connecting gear is shown in Fig. 3, and some power drums (11) are arranged to and are transverse to the direction that article such as egg are advanced, and remain on the recess between the adjacent roller upper surface.They cause the egg rotation when cylinder rotates, and previous not exposed surface is exposed in fan of laser light (9), (10).Cylinder itself is caused advances by the laser treatment unit, passes through the laser treatment unit as the cylinder belongings.In this situation, cylinder itself does not remain in the processing unit place, has therefore avoided risk of overheating.Under the two situation, the laser segment angle all is approximately 20 °, about 50 centimetres away from article be.
Example 4: use laser to the Rhizoma Solani tuber osi control of pathogens
The potato seed tuber is the root of the inoculum of several important diseases, and these diseases comprise a sclerotiniose (Rhizoctonia Solani), anthrax (Colletotrichum coccodes), silver-colored scall (Helminthosporium Solani), powdery scab (Spongospora subterranea), epidermis spot disease (Polyscytalum pustulans), gangrenosis (Phoma foveata), dry rot (Fusarium caeruleum) and balck shank (Erwinia carotovora ssp atroseptica).The control of disease mainly depends on and suppresses or kill to be trapped in the interior pathogen of seed stock in the crop pathogen tuber.This is a vast market, in order to produce healthy crop, antifungal can be applied to the seed tuber, and still, most of products do not have the very activity of broad scope, needs to use more antifungal usually.In addition, the drug resistance of antifungal has further been become a bad problem, all new drugs must be registered registrations and be given the ratification in Britain before legal use.Minimizing is used the consumption and the quantity of agrochemical to potato crop and used possible method is the constantly pressure of development to reduce these diseases.
For laser treatment is estimated, selected epidermis to have the tuber of natural disease.Studied the problem of determining organic viability by the whole bag of tricks that is applicable to this specified disease.These of research tuber change, and changed the infringement that disease causes or changed organism after being exposed to laser.
In test, for the energy of exploring laser light, we change the laser gait of march of passing the tuber surface in wide range, and this energy may be deleterious to epidermis, and those energy are invalid so.Use three interior power levels of the less definite scope of laser gait of march to determine the interaction relationship of these laser parameters, the result shows that 30 watts is a suitable power level.
In the initial test of using anthrax as the appointment pathogen, Rhizoma Solani tuber osi is 612mm/sec with relative gait of march between the light beam, light beam power is 30 watts, the result has nearly caused 50% damage sheet to separate from the tuber epidermis, when in the culture dish of transferring to agar culture medium, produced fungi growth.When relative velocity was 214 mm/second, control was 100%, when speed obtains bad control during greater than 612 mm/second (for example 1010 mm/second and more than).
Test with different power levels, shown that its viability does not have difference when using rhizoctonia disease as the appointment pathogen.These are controlled under the long irradiation time is good.Significant be after hatching, record has also been made in the long control of Penicillium diease occurrence.Turntable is with various rotational speed, and away from 50 centimetres of scan mirror, scan mirror usually scans to move both vertically on the centrage of the side of Rhizoma Solani tuber osi.In table 5, scanning speed is given with gait of march, and laser power density is approximately 50 watts/centimetre 2
