For example, in the field of food, the use of high-pressure micro-jet homogenization technology can effectively reduce the particle size of soy milk products and improve the taste. In the field of cosmetics, high-pressure micro-jet homogenization technology is also used to prepare nano-emulsions to obtain better transdermal efficacy. In the field of chemical energy, high-pressure micro-jet homogenization technology is also used to peel and homogenize graphene in order to obtain the superior performance of graphene.

[0050] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0051] Now refer to Fig.13 The mixing assembly 200 includes an inlet cap 202 and an outlet cap 204. The inlet cap 202 includes threads configured to engage with complementary threads on the outlet cap 204. The mixing assembly 200 also includes an inlet flow connector 220, an outlet flow connector 222, an alignment tube 216, an inlet retainer 224, an outlet retainer 226, an inlet mixing chamber component 228, and an outlet mixing chamber component 230.

[0052] The inlet flow connector 220 is arranged in the inlet cover 202, and the outlet flow connector 222 is arranged in the outlet cover 204. When assembled, the alignment tube 216 uses a plurality of pins 229 to keep both the inlet flow connector 220 and the outlet flow connector 222 aligned. The inlet retainer 224 and the outlet retainer 226 are arranged in the alignment tube 216 for aligning and holding the inlet mixing chamber component 228 and the outlet mixing chamber component 230. The inlet retainer 224 and the outlet retainer 226 are in contact with the inlet flow connector 220 and the outlet flow connector 222, respectively.

[0053] When the device is fully assembled, a flow path is formed between the inlet flow connector 220, the inlet retainer 224, the inlet mixing chamber element 228, the outlet mixing chamber element 230, the outlet retainer 226, and the outlet flow connector 222. Unmixed fluid enters the inlet flow connector 220 and travels through the inlet retainer 224 to the inlet mixing chamber element 228. Under high pressure and due to high energy reactions, the unmixed fluid is mixed between the inlet mixing chamber element 228 and the outlet mixing chamber element 230. The mixed fluid then travels through the outlet retainer 226 and the outlet flow connector 222.

[0054] To ensure that the mixing chamber components are sufficiently firmly maintained to withstand the high pressure and high energy of mixing, the inlet cover 202 is threadedly engaged with the outlet cover 204. Along with the torque increase on the inlet cover 202 and the outlet cover 204, the inlet flow connector 220 and the outlet flow connector 222 are forced to be relative to each other, and the alignment tube 216 is stretched. Along with the stretching increase, the pipe is slightly stretched, and the experience is tightened, thereby the diameter is reduced. The fluid being mixed between the inlet mixing chamber component 228 and the outlet mixing chamber component 230 is under very high pressure, so the inlet cover 202 and the outlet cover 204 must be able to apply high force on the flow connector, the retainer and the mixing chamber component. In addition, the inlet cover 202 and the outlet cover 204 must be able to make the alignment tube 216 stretch, thereby reduce the diameter slightly, to clamp the inlet mixing chamber component 228 and the outlet mixing chamber component 230 radially. As the force increases, the inlet flow connector 220 pushes the inlet retainer 224 and the outlet flow connector 222 pushes the outlet retainer 226, which in turn compresses the inlet mixing chamber component 228 and the outlet mixing chamber component 230 in a sealing manner. In order to achieve the torque level required to ensure fluid sealing under high pressure, and to use sufficient tensile force to stretch the alignment tube 216 to retain the inlet mixing chamber component 228 and the outlet mixing chamber component 230, the tubes must be relatively long, so the flow connectors, inlet covers and outlet covers must be correspondingly large enough to accommodate longer tubes. Because the tubes are longer and the flow connectors and covers are larger, the flow path from the inlet flow connector to the outlet flow connector is longer than necessary, so the retention volume and the amount of wasted fluid are higher than smaller devices that provide comparable mixing results. Moreover, the structure and flow rate in the prior art have limitations, and the flow rate of a single mixing component is relatively low. If used in parallel, several mixing components need to be invested, which is expensive to customers in terms of both purchase cost and use consumption cost.

[0055] As described below, in an ultra-large flow diamond interactive chamber homogenizer of the present invention, instead of using a tube component that needs to be stretched to radially hold the mixing chamber component, the valve block 1 is heated before the mixing chamber component is inserted, and once the mixing chamber component is inserted and aligned, the valve block 1 is cooled and contracted. The mixing chamber component is fixed by utilizing the hoop stress of the valve block 1 applied due to thermal expansion and contraction, and due to the combined effect of the two opposite and equal forces of the axial force, the axial stress is actually zero. Therefore, the first mixing chamber component 10 and the second mixing chamber component 11 provided in the diamond interactive chamber nozzle 6 of the present invention can reduce the size, the number of components and the complexity.

[0056] See also Figure 1-12 The present invention provides a technical solution: a large flow diamond interactive cavity homogenizer, comprising

[0057] (a) A valve block 1 having a longitudinal center axis and two transverse center axes, the valve block 1 comprising:

[0058] (1) A plurality of first openings 2 are located on both side surfaces of the valve block 1, the first openings 2 on both sides are symmetrically arranged along the longitudinal central axis, and the first openings 2 on both sides are located on two transverse central axes, and the first openings 2 have a cylindrical shape with a diameter of the first opening 2;

[0061] (4) a second channel 5 connecting the two groups of second openings 3, wherein the second channel 5 has a cylindrical shape smaller than the diameter of the second openings 3 and shares a common longitudinal center axis, and the first channel 4 is in communication with the second channel 5;

[0062] (5) The place where the second channel 5 and the first channel 4 are connected is a diamond cross-contamination nozzle 6;

[0063] (b) a first holder 7, a second holder 8 and a third holder 9, wherein the first holder 7 and the second holder 8 are respectively arranged in the first channel 4 and the second channel 5 and are located at multiple positions between the first opening 2 and the second opening 3 and the diamond interactive container nozzle 6, and the third holder 9 is located between the two groups of diamond interactive container nozzles 6, and the outer wall structures 13 of the first holder 7 and the second holder 8 contact the inner surfaces of the first channel 4 and the second channel 5;

[0064] (c) A first mixing chamber component 10 and a second mixing chamber component 11, wherein the first mixing chamber component 10 is located in the first channel 4 of the valve block 1, and the second mixing chamber component 11 is located in the second channel 5 of the valve block 1, and the first mixing chamber component 10 and the second mixing chamber component 11 are squeezed into the diamond interaction nozzle 6, and a side surface of the first mixing chamber component 10 away from the first opening 2 is in sealing contact with two side surfaces of the second mixing chamber component 11.

[0065] The valve block 1 has a rectangular shape and is made of stainless steel.

[0066] Therein, the first mixing chamber component 10 has a cylindrical shape.

[0067] The second mixing chamber component 11 has a shape similar to an elliptical cylinder.

[0068] The first mixing chamber component 10 includes a plurality of first microchannels 16 etched in a side surface away from the first opening 2 , and the plurality of microchannels are fluidically connected to a plurality of first ports 14 , and the plurality of first ports 14 extend from a side surface of the first mixing chamber component 10 to another side surface of the first mixing chamber component 10 .

[0069] The second mixing chamber component 11 includes a plurality of second microchannels 17 etched in two side surfaces, and the plurality of second microchannels 17 are fluidically connected to a plurality of second ports 15 penetrating the top and bottom surfaces of the second mixing chamber component 11 through branch channels 18 .

[0070] When the first mixing chamber component 10 and the second mixing chamber component 11 are squeezed together, the multiple second microchannels 17 located on both sides of the second mixing chamber component 11 are aligned with the multiple first microchannels 16 to generate multiple microflow paths, and the multiple microflow paths are fluid-tight.

[0071] Among them, the first retaining member 7, the second retaining member 8 and the third retaining member 9 all include concentric channels 12, one end of the concentric channel 12 of the first retaining member 7 is aligned with the first opening 2, and the other end is fluidly connected to the first port 14 of the first mixing chamber component 10, one end of the concentric channel 12 of the second retaining member 8 is aligned with the second opening 3, and the other end is fluidly connected to one end of the second port 15 of the second mixing chamber component 11, and both ends of the concentric channel 12 of the third retaining member 9 are fluidly connected to the other ends of the second ports 15 of the two second mixing chamber components 11.

[0072] The first mixing chamber component 10 and the second mixing chamber component 11 are both made of diamond or ceramic sheet.

[0073] A method for assembling a diamond interactive cavity homogenizer, the method comprising:

[0074] S1: Provide the above contents: a valve block 1, four first mixing chamber components 10 and a second mixing chamber component 11, four first retaining members 7, two second retaining members 8 and one third retaining member 9:

[0075] S2: heating the valve block 1 to a predetermined temperature range so that the first opening 2, the second opening 3 and the channel on the valve block 1 expand from the diameters of the first opening 2, the second opening 3 and the channel to the expanded diameters of the first opening 2, the second opening 3 and the channel;

[0076] S3: First, insert the third retainer 9 from the second channel 5 into the valve block, and place the third retainer 9 in the middle of the valve block. Then, insert the second mixing chamber component 11 from the upper and lower entrances of the second channel 5 into the second channel 5, respectively located on both sides of the third retainer 9, and make it fit and press tightly with the third retainer 9. During the process of inserting the second mixing chamber component 11 into the second channel 5, the planes on both sides should be basically perpendicular to the axis of the first channel. Then, insert the two first mixing components 10 into the first channel 4 from the left and right entrances of the first channel 4, respectively, and make them press tightly with the left and right planes of the second mixing component 11, and force the plane of the second mixing component 11 to be perpendicular to the axis of the first channel 4. Then, insert the two first retainers 7 into the first channel 4 from the left and right entrances through the first channel 4, respectively, and fit and press tightly with the cross-section of the first mixing component 10. Through the above operation, two first holding members 7, one second holding member 8 and one third holding member 9 are pressed tightly together with two first mixing chamber components 10 and one second mixing chamber component 11, so that the three mixing components form a diamond interactive cavity nozzle.

[0077] During the installation process, the first retainer 7 coincides with the axis of the first channel 4, the second retainer 8 and the third retainer 9 coincide with the axis of the second channel 5, the first mixing chamber component 10 coincides with the axis of the first channel 4, and the second mixing component 11 coincides with the axis of the second channel 5. During the installation process, the temperature of the valve block, the first retainer 7, the second retainer 8, and the third retainer 9 is properly controlled so that the first retainer 7, the second retainer 8, and the third retainer 9 are inserted into the appropriate position in the channel when the holes of the first channel 4 and the second channel 5 of the valve block expand due to heat.

[0078] S4: according to the steps of S3, the remaining first mixing chamber components 10, the second mixing chamber components 11, the first retaining member 7 and the second retaining member 8 are respectively inserted into another first channel 4 arranged with the same transverse central axis and the second channel 5 at the top;

[0079] S5: The first opening 2 , the second opening 3 , and the channel are contracted from the expanded diameters of the first opening 2 , the second opening 3 , and the channel back to the diameters of the first opening 2 , the second opening 3 , and the channel by cooling the valve block 1 .

[0080] The third retainer 9 and the valve block 1 can be processed separately and installed according to the thermal expansion and contraction dimensions, or the third retainer 9 and the valve block 1 can be processed as one piece, which can reduce the installation steps of the third retainer 9 and the valve block 1. Different processing techniques have the same performance effect.

[0081] After assembly, the unmixed fluid flow is directed into the plurality of first openings 2 and through the concentric channels in the first retainer 7, as described in more detail below, and then directed along the flow path direction through the plurality of small channels in the first mixing chamber component 10. The fluid then flows through the plurality of microchannels formed between the first mixing chamber component 10 and the second mixing chamber component 12 in a direction parallel to the surface of the first mixing chamber component 10 and the surface of the adjacent outlet second mixing chamber component 12. When the plurality of microchannels converge, the fluid is mixed.

[0082] It should be understood that the valve block 1 is an integral structure, and the diamond cross-container nozzle 6 for mixing between the first mixing chamber component 10 and the second mixing chamber component 12 passes symmetrically through the first retainer 7 and the first opening 2, so that the fluid entering the first opening 2 is subjected to zero axial stress due to the combined effect of two opposite forces of equal magnitude. Compared with the prior art of locking the split housing by bolts, although the bolts can perform fluid sealing on the microchannel formed between the two surfaces of the mixing chamber component, due to the high pressure and high energy dissipation caused by the mixing between the first mixing chamber component 10 and the second mixing chamber component 12, the pressure applied by the twisted bolts alone is not enough to keep the mixing chamber component stationary in the first opening of the housing during mixing.

[0083] For example, due to the hoop stress applied to the mixing chamber components, each of the bolts only requires 100 inch-pounds of torque to hold the mixing chamber components together to create a seal. However, prior art devices that primarily use compression to stabilize the mixing chamber components, as described above, tend to require significantly higher torque to hold the mixing chamber components together to create a seal (about 130 foot-pounds of torque). Because the prior art devices use tube components that must be elongated to reduce the diameter and clamp the mixing chamber components, the prior art devices require a larger housing and more components.

[0084] The present invention provides a plurality of first openings 2 symmetrically arranged along the longitudinal center axis on both sides of the valve block 1, so that multi-channel fluids can enter the valve block 1 for interactive fusion at the same time, thereby realizing interactive homogenization of fluids with ultra-large flow rates, that is, a plurality of micro-pore nozzle structures composed of a first mixing chamber component 10 and a second mixing chamber component 12 arranged in a special fixed geometric shape are provided in the valve block 1, and the fluid enters the first opening 2 arranged along the transverse center axis, and then the interactively homogenized fluid is discharged from the second opening 3 through the second retaining member 8 provided in the second channel 5, wherein the third retaining member 9 located between the two diamond interactive nozzles 6 serves as a connecting channel for connecting the first opening 2 arranged along the transverse center axis to enter the diamond interactive nozzle 6 for interactive homogenization, so as to facilitate the provision of a plurality of first openings 2 on the valve block 1, so that one valve block 1 can be used for ultra-large flow rates, avoiding the need to invest in several diamond interactive chambers, which are too expensive for customers to accept in terms of purchase cost and use consumption cost.

[0085] In order to realize the above functions, the first mixing chamber component 10 and the second mixing chamber component 12 adopted by the present invention have a cylindrical shape and an elliptical cylindrical shape. Since the second mixing chamber component 11 has an elliptical cylindrical shape, the second mixing chamber component 11 has a plane that can provide the first mixing chamber component 10 for installation, and the first mixing chamber component 10 is cylindrical, and the two end planes of the first mixing chamber component 10 can be precisely matched with the second mixing chamber component 11. In addition to being able to meet the precise matching, the outer circumferential surfaces of the first mixing chamber component 10 and the second mixing chamber component 12 can also be matched and assembled with the first channel 4, the second channel 5 and the diamond interactive nozzle 6, and the sealing performance is good.
