Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 A light source and a continuous photochemical synthesis device with separately controllable temperature for reactions, comprising a housing 1 and a lamp cylinder 2. The lamp cylinder 2 is coaxially fixed inside the housing 1. The lamp cylinder 2 ensures that the light source and the reaction area are at the central position inside the device, providing uniform illumination, while simplifying the structural design and thermal management. It increases the stability of the device and ensures the accuracy and consistency of the positions of the light source and the reactor. A coiled tube heat exchange barrel 3 is also coaxially assembled inside the lamp cylinder 2. The coiled tube heat exchange barrel 3 enables the heat exchange barrel to evenly absorb and disperse the heat inside the lamp cylinder 2, ensuring the stability of the temperature of the reactor. It provides effective cooling to prevent overheating, thereby maintaining the optimal reaction temperature. A number of lamp strips 4 are equidistantly arranged along the circumferential direction of the inner wall of the lamp cylinder 2. The lamp strips 4 ensure uniform distribution of the illumination, avoiding uneven reactions caused by uneven light intensity, improving the efficiency and consistency of the photochemical reaction, and providing sufficient light intensity to drive the photochemical reaction. The inside of the coiled tube heat exchange barrel 3 is hollow and provided with a cooling medium, which increases the capacity of the cooling medium while reducing the weight. Such as water or oil, which takes away heat by flowing, ensuring high heat exchange efficiency and thus stabilizing the reaction temperature. A coiled tube reactor 5 is also coaxially arranged between the coiled tube heat exchange barrel 3 and the lamp cylinder 2, which can ensure that the coiled tube reactor 5 is evenly irradiated by the light source and effectively cooled by the cooling medium. The spiral shape provides a larger surface area, improving the reaction efficiency and heat exchange efficiency. The coiled tube reactor 5 is spiral-shaped and wound around the coiled tube heat exchange barrel 3, which can increase the reaction time and contact area, making the reaction more complete. It ensures the maximum heat exchange between the reactor and the heat exchange barrel, improving the accuracy and efficiency of temperature control. A heat exchange shell 6 is also arranged between the lamp cylinder 2 and the housing 1, and the inner wall of the heat exchange shell 6 is attached to the outer wall of the lamp cylinder 2. This can further enhance the heat dissipation effect, prevent the outer wall of the lamp cylinder 2 from overheating and affecting the internal reaction, and reduce the interference of external heat on the internal reaction temperature.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5, an inlet / outlet port 7 is also provided on the housing 1. The inlet / outlet port 7 is connected to the coil reactor 5 by a pipeline. The inlet / outlet port 7 enables the reactants to conveniently enter and exit the coil reactor 5, forming a continuous flow system, thereby realizing a continuous photochemical reaction. It ensures that the reactants can smoothly flow into and out of the coil reactor 5, providing good fluidity and controllability, and guaranteeing the continuity and high efficiency of the reaction process; an inlet / outlet port 8 for coil heat exchange is also provided on the housing 1. The inlet / outlet port 8 for coil heat exchange is connected to the coil heat exchange barrel 3 by a pipeline. The inlet / outlet port 8 for coil heat exchange allows a cooling medium such as water or oil to circulate through the heat exchange barrel, effectively taking away the heat generated during the reaction process. It ensures that the cooling medium can smoothly enter and exit the coil heat exchange barrel 3, forming an effective cooling cycle, and improving the accuracy and efficiency of temperature control. The coil heat exchange barrel 3 is made of a metal material, and the cooling medium is water or oil. Metals have good thermal conductivity and can quickly conduct the heat generated by the lamp barrel 2, ensuring the stability of the reactor temperature. Water and oil are both common and efficient cooling media, which can effectively absorb and take away heat, maintaining the temperature stability of the reaction system. A cold oil or compressor copper pipe is arranged inside the heat exchange housing 6, providing additional cooling capacity to further take away the heat on the surface of the lamp barrel 2 and prevent it from having an adverse effect on the reaction temperature. Through the cooling of the cold oil or compressor copper pipe, the outer wall temperature of the lamp barrel 2 can be effectively reduced, ensuring more efficient heat management inside the equipment, thereby maintaining the optimal reaction conditions. The surface of the coil heat exchange barrel 3 is provided with a spiral concave-convex surface matching the spiral coil reactor 5. Part of the coil reactor 5 is embedded in the spiral concave-convex surface, which increases the contact area between the coil heat exchange barrel 3 and the coil reactor 5, thereby improving the heat conduction efficiency. It ensures that the coil reactor 5 is fixed on the surface of the heat exchange barrel without moving and maintains close contact, which helps to more stably control the reaction temperature and prevent uneven reactions caused by uneven heat. The coil reactor 5 is made of a transparent tube of FEP or PFA material. These two materials have good chemical inertness and high-temperature resistance, and can withstand various chemical reagents and high-temperature environments during the photochemical reaction process, ensuring the stability and safety of the reaction process. The transparent tube can ensure that the LED light source uniformly irradiates the reactants, improving the efficiency and uniformity of the photochemical reaction. The light strip 4 uses an LED lamp. A PLC 9 and a panel control 10 are also fixedly arranged at the bottom of the housing 1. Through the PLC and panel control 10 system, the reaction conditions can be accurately controlled and monitored, ensuring the stability and consistency of the photochemical reaction process, and improving the synthesis efficiency and product quality.

The substances to be reacted are introduced into the coil reactor 5 through the liquid inlet and outlet 7. The substances in the coil reactor 5 will be evenly irradiated by the lamp strip 4 and undergo a photochemical synthesis reaction. During the reaction process, the coil heat exchange barrel 3 can effectively absorb and conduct the heat in the lamp barrel 2. Through the connection with the heat exchange device, the cooling medium can circulate and take away the heat, thereby maintaining the temperature stability of the coil reactor 5, enabling the substances in the photochemical reaction to be maintained at the optimal reaction temperature. At the same time, the heat exchange shell 6 will take away the temperature on the surface of the lamp barrel 2, reducing the influence of the heat generated by the lamp strip 4 on the photochemical reaction of the substances. And several LED lamp strips 4 arranged equidistantly along the circumferential direction on the inner wall of the lamp barrel 2 can evenly irradiate the substances in the coil reactor 5, ensuring the uniformity and efficiency of the photochemical reaction. The coil heat exchange barrel 3 of this device can effectively absorb and conduct the heat in the lamp barrel 2. Through the connection with the heat exchange device, the cooling medium can circulate and take away the heat, thereby maintaining the temperature stability of the coil reactor 5; while the heat exchange shell 6 arranged between the lamp barrel 2 and the housing 1 contains cold oil or compressor copper pipes, which can further take away the heat on the surface of the lamp barrel 2, reducing the influence of the heat generated by the lamp strip 4 on the reaction temperature, so that the coil reactor 5 can be maintained at the optimal reaction temperature during the photochemical reaction process.
