- the chuck 41, and spindle (not shown) for the centrifuge are subjects of the aboveidentified Ser. Nos. 761,558 and 761,663.
- the pump and programmer are mounted on a frame 48 comprised of a vertical support 49 and an upper horizontal support arm 50.
- the programming mechanism and control 55 are affixed to the upper surface of the support arm 50 while a slidably mounted fluid receptacle holder 57 is hung on the bottom of the support arm.
- a number of fluid receptacles 61, 62, 63 and 64 are mounted neck-down in the holder 57 and are joined through suitable connecting pieces to flexible tubings 65, 66, 67 and 68, respectively.
- these tubings pass through a positioning and holding bar 69 and then join a single manifold tubing, a first section 70 of which is positioned within a second holding bar 71.
- a second section 72 of the manifold tubing extends beyond the holding bar 71 and is integral with or adapted to be connected to the inlet line of the centrifuge 'rotor 40.
- constriction 73 In the second section 72 and immediately beyond the first section there is at least one constriction 73 to achieve better mixing of the liquid components leaving the manifold and before introduction into the centrifuge rotor.
- the constriction or constrictions should have a flow area between about 15 percent and 40 percent of the second section 72.
- the pump assembly is supported on a housing 80 and set in a tray 81.
- the upper section 78 of the pump assembly is suspended from a pump assembly arm 35 through a connecting piece 86.
- Arm 35 is in turn mounted on a collar 38 which may be moved up and down on vertical support 49 and which is affixed thereto by a spring 39.
- a wire 90 joins the collar, through pin 92, to a foot pedal 92 to make it possible to raise and lower the upper section 78 of the pump by foot action.
- An adjustment nut 93 makes it possible properly to position the upper pump assembly section firmly against stop screws 200 (FIG. 9).
- FIGS. 3 and 4 are side elevational views from opposite sides of the programming mechanism and control section 55.
- This section contains the clutch cams and switches, the optical cam system, the motor for driving these components and the photocell detectors and thus represents detailed embodiments of clutch switches 24, 25, 27 and 28, of cams 23 and 26, of photocells 34 and 35 and ofoptical cams 32 and 33 of FIG. I.
- the internal volume of housing is divided by a horizontal frame 102 into lower and upper sections.
- Frame 102 is supported by a vertical support bar 103 on which is mounted an optical cam system stationary shaft 104 through its support block 105.
- a transparent plastic cylindrical optical cam drum mount 112 slips onto the mounting ring 108 and serves to hold and support the optical cam system sheet 114 in the form of a cylindrical drum.
- This cam system sheet 114 may take one of several forms as illustrated in the extended views of FIGS. 5 and 6.
- the sheet is a flexible member suitable for bending into cylindrical drum form to be mounted on the plastic cylinder drum mount 112.
- the background 115 (shown cross-hatched) is opaque to radiation while the optical cam sections, which are of striplike configuration, are arranged to pass a predetermined amount of radiation.
- these cam sections are transparent strips 116, 117, 118 and 119 having varying widths, which in turn determine the amount of radiation striking the detector and hence the speed of the pump motor and the amount ofliquid pumped from the reservoir attached to the particular pump.
- the strips of varying widths are replaced by constant-width strips 123, 124, and 126 having varying optical densities throughout their length in somewhat the same fashion in which step tablets are constructed.
- the embodiment of FIG. 6 possesses the advantage of not requiring precise strip widths or precise alignments of the strips with respect to the detectors.
- the frame also supports a source of radiant energy, e.g., light bulb 129 mounted in socket 130, within the plastic cylinder drum mount 112. Positioned on one side is a series of four photocells 131, 132, 133 and 134 in a position to receive radiant energy through the optical cams 116, 117, 118 and 119 (the last not being shown). As pointed out previously, it is only necessary to provide two motors, each with two clutches, to program the flow of liquid from four reservoirs.
- a source of radiant energy e.g., light bulb 129 mounted in socket 130
- a series of four photocells 131, 132, 133 and 134 Positioned on one side is a series of four photocells 131, 132, 133 and 134 in a position to receive radiant energy through the optical cams 116, 117, 118 and 119 (the last not being shown).
- the apparatus is capable of operating on two protocols (glycerolization and deglycerolization) by merely actuating a switch, two separate photocells and their cams are conveniently provided for each of the two protocols.
- the apparatus thus has in effect two distinct modes of operation and could have additional modes by the incorporation of additional sets of cams and detectors. It is also, of course, within the scope of this invention to have a motor associated with each pump used.
- a sprocket 138 is affixed to frame 106 for engaging chain 139.
- the photocells are contained within a suitable housing 140 having connecting wire outlets for making suitable electrical connections in any well-known manner.
- the clutch switches along with the cams which actuate them.
- a shaft 1145 supported by uprights 146 and 147 is connected to a small clock motor 150 through appropriate gearing 151.
- Adjacent to gearing 151 is a slip clutch 154 and at the other end of the shaft is a manual control knob 156.
- the purpose of the slip clutch 154 is to prevent overloading of the motor and to make it possible manually to turn to any point in the cycle even when the motor is not running.
- Sprocket 158 affixed to shaft 145, engages chain 139 and thus the optical cam system, as well as the clutch cams, is driven by motor 150.
- FIGS. 3 and 4 a series of seven cams and vassociated switches are provided, the four camswitch combinations shown in FIG. 3 being used for the two protocols of pump operation, two for the glycerolization protocol and two for deglycerolization. Two of the three camswitch combinations facing them and shown in FIG. 4 are used to program the operation of the centrifuge and to stop the clock motor at the end of the cycle; while the remaining cam and switch are reserved as a spare actuating device for the automatic operation of desirable additional apparatus components.
- the switches 160-166 may be of any standard construction which are suitable for actuation between two operational modes by the face of a cam. Those shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 are mounted in plastic mounts 167 and are attached to a switch mounting plate 168. As sketched in FIG. 4, each switch has a small spring-mounted cam-contacting roll 172 which engages the face of the cams, e.g., carns 175 and 176 associated with switches 160 and 164, respectively. There is, of course, a cam associated with each of the switches, all being mounted on shaft 145.
- the DC motor-generator e.g., 240 (FIG. 12) in I which the voltage produced by the generator is the feedback signal and is directly related to the speed of the motors (i.e., motors 21 and 22 of FIG. 1)
- voltmeters to read pump speeds and throughputs.
- potentiometers 180 and 181 and their associated voltmeters 182 and 183 for this purpose.
- One voltmeter for a motor can be used to read out the flow rate for two pumps (e.g., pumps 5 and 7 operated by motor 21 of FIG. I).
- the four pilot lights 185-188 indicate which pump of each pair is beingdriven.
- a switch 191 for choosing between the glycerolization cycle, G, and deglycerolization cycle, D.
- Other switches and related equipment are also provided in keeping with standard electrical circuitry practice.
- the pumps are roller pumps of the complete occlusion type, i.e., there is no flow through them when they are not running and during operation they produce a flow approximately proportional to their rotational speed.
- a plurality of such pumps are contained within one pump assembly which in FIGS. 2 and 9 is shown to comprise an upper section 78 which is movable in a vertical direction and the lower section 79 which sits in and partly extends through tray 81 for connection with the pump motors as described below.
- the pump assembly is shown in perspective view in FIG. 9 and in two partial crosssectional views in FIGS. 10 and 11. Reference will also be made to FIG. 8 which shows the tubing harness which fits into the pump.
- Pumping of the liquid is achieved bydelivering the liquid by gravity into a flexible plastic tubing (e.g., tubing 68 of FIG. 2) and then alternately compressing and decompressing its associated tubing section (e.g., 77 of FIG. 8) within the pump between a roller and a pressure surface.
- the rate of com pressing and decompressing is controlled (as will be explained) by the rate of rotation of the motor which in turn is controlled by the output of an associated photocell (see FIG. 1 for schematic relation).
- two or more tubes may be used in parallel and operated by one set of rollers.
- FIGS. 8 and 9 the embodiment shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, four tubings are shown while in FIGS. 10 and 11 cross sections are shown of one of the pumps, all of them being of identical construction.
- FIG. 9 the pump assembly is shown in operational condition with the tube harness of FIG. 3 in place.
- Adjustable spacer screws 200 maintain the upper and lower sections in spaced relationship to provide the desired degree of occlusion of the tubes.
- the holding bar 69 serves properly to space the tubings and to anchor them against the drag of the pump rollers.
- Tubing section 77 of tubing 68 is shown in the pump in a compressed condition in FIGS. 9-11. It is compressed between roller 201 (which is one of four rollers 201, 202, 203 and 204 rotatably mounted on a rotating assembly 205) and a contoured pressure platen 206 which is bonded to the inside of the cover 207 of the upper pump section.
- roller 201 which is one of four rollers 201, 202, 203 and 204 rotatably mounted on a rotating assembly 205
- a contoured pressure platen 206 which is bonded to the inside of the cover 207 of the upper pump section.
- One of these pressure platens is provided for each pump, and they are preferably formed of a synthetic resin which exhibits some degree of resiliency.
- the platens should be sufficiently hard to assure occlusion of the tubing section in the pumps; while at the same time being sufficiently resilient to accommodate variations in dimensional tolerances within the roller pumps and within thetubings.
- a stationary shaft 211 mounted in the bottom section housing 210 is a stationary shaft 211 on which the rotating assembly 205 carrying the rollers is rotated.
- Each of the rotating assemblies is constructed as shown in FIGS. 1,0 and,11 and comprises a bushing 214, a hub 215 affixed to or integral with the bushing and a sprocket 216 affixed to the hub.
- Also attached to the hub are two end plates 217 and 218 in which a roller pin 219 is firmly mounted.
- the roller pin 219 has the rollers, e.g., roller 201 rotatably mounted on it through a roller bushing 220.
- Each of the sprockets 216 is enclosed in the upper section of the pump in a sprocket housing comprising a vertical semicircular member 225 cast integral with bottom section housing 210. As seen in FIG. 10 the upper portion 226 of this housing is relatively heavy walled giving weight and stability to the pump assembly. Each pump of the pump assembly is isolated from its adjacent pump or pumps by a spacer 227.
- a pump assembly may comprise any number of pumps (e.g., roller assembly, associated sprocket and pressure surface) and since each is driven separately at its own speed, each pump is capable of delivering liquid to the manifold at a predetermined rate pattern separate and distinct from all of the other pumps. Thus, the amount of liquid pumped over any given period by each pump may be accurately controlled.
- pumps e.g., roller assembly, associated sprocket and pressure surface
- FIG. 1' it will be seen that the four pumps shown are driven by two motors each having a pair of clutches associated therewith.
- the mechanism for achieving the pump drive is illustrated in FIGS. 12 and 13 in which like reference numerals are used to refer to like elements in FIGS. 2-11.
- the pump-driving means and control 80 are mounted in a housing comprising front end plate 235, rear end plate 236 and a top frame 237 which sits in tray 81 and permits the lower portion of the pump assembly to extend into the housing defined by this framework.
- variable speed DC motorgenerators 240 and 241 the shafts 242 and 243 of which are connected to sprockets 244 and 245.
- a speed-reducing means e.g., 239 of FIG. 12.
- Through chains 248 and 249 these lower sprockets are mechanically linked to upper sprockets 250 and 251 which are affixed to two parallel shafts 252 and 253, respectively.
- On shaft 252 are mounted two clutches 260 and 261 which through sprockets 256 and 257 and chains 258 and 259 are mechanically linked to the sprockets 216 associated with pumps 208a and 208c.
- Clutches 260 and 261 which are electrically connected to the appropriate clutch switches (FIGS. 3 and 4) determine which of the two sprockets 256 or 257 and hence which of the two pumps 208a or 2080 the motor 240 drives at any one time. t
- two sprockets 265 and 266 and associated chains 267 and 268 are connected to the sprockets 216 of pumps 203b and 208d.
- a clutch (not shown) is associated with each of these sprockets and each clutch is electrically connected to an appropriate clutch switch which in turn determines whether motor 241 drives pump 208b or 208d.
- the operation of the pump and programmer of this invention begins with a determination of a protocol under which the apparatus is to operate. Assume as an example that for deglycerolization it is desired to deliver liquids from a first and second reservoir in equal volumes during a first period, then liquids from a second and third reservoir in a volume ratio of 2 to 1 during a second period and finally liquids from a third and fourth reservoir in a volume ratio of l to 2 during a third period. It will, of course, be appreciated that these ratios may be varied by discrete steps or continuously during a period, this being accomplished by the design of the optical cams. However, for purposes of simplification of this illustration, such varying of the ratios within a period is not assumed.
- the liquid reservoirs in order of their use are reservoirs 61-64 (FIG. 2), and that the pumps for these reservoirs are 208a-208d, respectively (FIG. 12).
- Clutches 260 and 261 and sprockets 256 and 257 control the operation of the first and third pumps, namely pumps 208a and 208c; and optical cam 116, photocell 131, switch 160, its clutch cam 175 (FIGS. 3 and 4) and motor 240 are connected to clutches 260 and 261.
- optical cams 117 and 118, photocells 132 and 133, and switches 161 and 162 with their clutch cams may be used to perform a glycerolization protocol. Switching from oneprotocol to another is accomplished through shifting a selector switch.
- the device is amenable to the incorporation of other sensing means such as a photocell which picks up the point when first red cells appear at a predetermined point to indicate that the centrifuge rotor is filled. A signal transmitted by this photocell could be used to change pump speed.
- liquid level, color or some other physical change in the centrifuge can be used to effect changes in the pump and programmer operation.
