[0025] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0027] Next, the present invention is described in detail with reference to schematic diagrams. For ease of illustration, when describing embodiments of the present invention, cross-sectional views illustrating device structures may be partially enlarged and not to scale. Furthermore, these schematic diagrams are merely illustrative and should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Furthermore, in actual production, three-dimensional dimensions, including length, width, and depth, should be included.

[0028] Furthermore, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in various places throughout this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. Example 1

[0029] Reference Figure 1 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a low-freezing point production system for methyltriacetoxysilane, including a pretreatment module 1 and a reaction module 2.

[0030] Specifically, the pretreatment module 1 includes a premixing tank 11, which is used for premixing raw materials. The raw materials are methyltrichlorosilane and ethyltriacetoxysilane. The raw materials are added to the premixing tank 11 through a pipeline for heating and premixing.

[0031] Preferably, the reaction module 2 includes a reaction tank 21 and a displacement piece 22, the premixing tank 11 is connected to the displacement piece 22 through a pipeline, and the premixed raw materials enter the reaction tank 21 for the next reaction; wherein, the displacement piece 22 is arranged on the reaction tank 21, and the displacement piece 22 connecting pipeline is connected to the inner cavity of the reaction tank 21, that is, the premixed raw materials enter the reaction tank 21 through the displacement piece 22; when a dynamic copolymerization reaction is carried out in the reaction tank 21, it is necessary to replace the air in the reaction tank 21, and the displacement piece 22 is used to replace the air in the reaction tank 21 while passing nitrogen into the reaction tank 21, and the air in the reaction tank 21 is discharged through the displacement piece 22.

[0032] By integrating the design of the replacement part 22 of the pretreatment module 1 and the reaction module 2, the integrated operation of raw material premixing and nitrogen replacement is achieved, which reduces the complexity of the equipment and the operation steps, avoids side reactions caused by air mixing, and improves the stability of the reaction system. Example 2

[0033] See Figures 1 to 7 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention, is based on embodiment 1.

[0034] Specifically, the displacement member 22 includes a mounting shell 221 and an injection tube 222. The mounting shell 221 is disposed on the reaction tank 21 and is used to mount the injection tube 222. The injection tube 222 is inserted into the mounting shell 221 and is elastically connected to the mounting shell 221. In this embodiment, a spring is provided at the top of the mounting shell 221, which contacts the bottom wall of the top of the injection tube 222. When the injection tube 222 undergoes axial displacement relative to the mounting shell 221, the spring is used to reset the injection tube 222. The injection tube 222 is connected to a pipeline, and different pipelines and the injection tube 222 are used to inject liquid or gas into the reaction tank 21. The elastic connection between the injection tube 222 and the mounting shell 221 can automatically adjust the reset of the injection tube 222 after the medium liquid is injected. At the same time, it can ensure the sealing during liquid injection and smooth exhaust during gas replacement, thereby improving operational flexibility and safety.

[0035] Preferably, a transition cavity 221a is provided within the mounting shell 221, and the contour of the end portion of the injection tube 222 located within the mounting shell 221 is adapted to mate with and conform to the contour of the transition cavity 221a. In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the transition cavity 221a is an isosceles trapezoid, wherein the length of the lower base is shorter than the length of the upper base. The cross-sectional shape of the lower end portion of the injection tube 222 is also an isosceles trapezoid. The conforming design of the injection tube 222 to the contour of the transition cavity 221a reduces the risk of leakage during gas injection and ensures efficient medium transmission.

[0036] Preferably, the bottom of the mounting shell 221 is provided with a mounting hole 221b, coaxially arranged with the mounting shell 221 and communicating with the transition chamber 221a. A first floating plate 223 is elastically mounted within the mounting hole 221b via a spring. When pressed, the first floating plate 223 can move downward along the axial direction of the mounting hole 221b. The bottom of the mounting shell 221 also defines a first channel 221c, communicating with the mounting hole 221b. The first floating plate 223 floats to switch between a conductive and blocked state between the first channel 221c and the transition chamber 221a. The first channel 221c is tilted, with its extension intersecting the central axis of the mounting shell 221. This tilted design, combined with the smaller inner diameter of the first channel 221c, creates a mist-like spray pattern and allows for a wider dispersion range. Furthermore, the floating first floating plate 223 provides a second safety feature to prevent misoperation.

[0037] Preferably, the bottom of the mounting shell 221 is further provided with a second channel 221d, which communicates with the transition chamber 221a. Three second channels 221d are provided, evenly spaced around the circumference of the mounting shell 221. When the displacer 22 is used to inject liquid into the reaction tank 21, due to the limited discharge speed, the injection tube 222 is lifted by the liquid level until the second channel 221d also circulates liquid, allowing the first channel 221c and the second channel 221d to circulate liquid simultaneously, ensuring uniform distribution while improving injection efficiency. When the displacer 22 is used to inject nitrogen into the reaction tank 21, the injection tube 222 is stationary relative to the mounting shell 221, while the second channel 221d is used to exhaust the displaced air in the reaction tank 21. The second channel circulates liquid during injection and exhausts air during displacement, achieving multifunctional integration in a single device, simplifying piping design, and reducing equipment costs.

[0038] Furthermore, a third channel 222a is provided on the injection tube 222, and the third channel 222a is used to connect the transition chamber 221a and the outside of the reaction tank 21. In this embodiment, three third channels 222a are provided, and the three third channels 222a are evenly arranged in the circumferential direction of the injection tube 222. The displaced air in the reaction tank 21 is discharged through the second channel 221d and the third channel 222a, so that the displacement part 22 can inject nitrogen and discharge air at the same time.

[0039] Furthermore, a second floating plate 224 is elastically mounted within the third channel 222a. This plate is pushed by the displaced air to switch the flow between the transition chamber 221a and the exterior of the reaction tank 21. When the displacer 22 is being filled with liquid, the second floating plate 224 closes the third channel 222a, preventing liquid from flowing into it. The combination of the third channel 222a and the second floating plate 224 ensures efficient exhaust of displaced air, preventing pressure imbalance within the reaction tank 21 and ensuring a stable reaction process. Example 3

[0040] This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which provides a method for producing methyltriacetoxysilane at a low freezing point. The method comprises the following steps: S101: Add methyltrichlorosilane and ethyltriacetoxysilane in a molar ratio of 7:3 to premix tank 11 and preheat to 40°C; add microencapsulated silane sustained-release agent (10% of the total silane mass) and stir at 300 rpm for 15 minutes. After premixing, transfer the raw materials to reaction tank 21; S102: Ultrasonic treatment (20 kHz, 500 W) was applied for 20 minutes to destroy the PDMS shell and release 20% methyltrimethoxysilane into the system; S201: Add composite catalyst (1.2% of the total reactant mass, including HMPA and nano-phosphazene mass ratio of 4:1), and replace the air with nitrogen.

[0041] S202: Three-stage temperature rise reaction: Stage A (55°C): Maintain for 1 hour, initial esterification reaction (conversion rate 60%-70%); Stage B (60°C): Increase the pressure to 0.12 MPa, react for 1.5 hours, and the conversion rate reaches 95%; Stage C (50°C): reduce the pressure to normal pressure and continue the reaction for 0.5 hours, with a total reaction time of 3 hours; S301: Add magnetic nano-alumina (sodium methoxide loading 20%) to the reaction solution at a molar ratio of HCl:sodium methoxide = 1:1.05; S302: Turn on the magnetic field (0.5 T) to adsorb the aluminum oxide particles, and the liquid phase is extracted through a filter membrane (0.22 μm). After neutralization, the pH value is 6.8 ± 0.2; S401: distillation temperature 90°C, vacuum degree 0.8 kPa, collecting the 108-110°C fraction (purity 99.5%); S402: Dynamic crystallization control: 60℃→40℃: cooling rate 5℃ / h, ultrasonic intermittent start (5 minutes on / 10 minutes off); 40℃→20℃: cooling rate 1℃ / h, continuous ultrasonic operation (power 300 W); S501: Plasticizer blending: Add bio-based plasticizer (polyether-modified silicone oil, 5 wt%) and shear stir at 400 rpm at 50°C for 1 hour.

[0042] This invention incorporates ethyltriacetoxysilane and a microencapsulated sustained-release agent to disrupt molecular symmetry, lower the freezing point, and extend storage stability. The composite catalyst (HMPA + nano-phosphazene) increases reaction rate and selectivity while reducing byproduct content. Magnetic separation technology reduces waste residue, and bio-based plasticizers replace toxic solvents, meeting environmental standards.
