Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ferulic acid processing, in particular to a reactor for synthesizing ferulic acid. Background Art

[0002] Ferulic acid is a derivative of cinnamic acid. As a plant component, ferulic acid itself has antioxidant properties, which can greatly promote human health, protect cells from radiation, and inhibit bacteria.

[0003] The preparation of ferulic acid mainly has two methods: plant extraction and chemical synthesis. At present, due to the limited natural resources and low efficiency of plant extraction, chemical synthesis is the mainstream method. The Wittig-Horner reaction is often used in chemical synthesis to synthesize ferulic acid.

[0004] For existing equipment, since a large amount of chemical agents are used in the production process, residues will adhere to the synthesis reactor. The existing equipment is not convenient for cleaning the inner wall in time after the reaction. In addition, during the reaction, in order to accelerate the synthesis of ferulic acid, the temperature inside the container will be increased, but heat will also be generated during the reaction. The existing equipment is not convenient for controlling the temperature. When the temperature is too high, it will affect the reaction process and lead to more impurities generated. Therefore, a reactor for synthesizing ferulic acid is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model

One end of a connecting pipe 803 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the annular pipe 802 in a circular distribution. The other end of the connecting pipe 803 is fixedly connected with a spray head 804. The spray head 804 penetrates the inner wall of the top of the tank body 1. The cleaning mechanism is used to clean the inner wall of the container. The middle of the front side of the outside of the tank body 1 is fixedly connected with a temperature control mechanism. The temperature control mechanism includes a temperature detector 3. The middle upper part of the front side of the outside of the tank body 1 is fixedly connected with the temperature detector 3. The middle of the front side of the outside of the tank body 1 is fixedly connected with a first water pump 401. One end of a liquid inlet pipe 402 is fixedly connected to the input end of the first water pump 401. The other end of the liquid inlet pipe 402 is fixedly connected with a condensate tank 403. The top right side of the condensate tank 403 is fixedly connected with a liquid adding hopper 404. The top of the liquid adding hopper 404 is slidably connected with a sliding cover 405. The output end of the first water pump 401 is fixedly connected with a condensate pipe 4. The temperature control mechanism is used to control the temperature inside the container during the reaction.

[0031] Referring to Figures 1 - 3, a ring groove 701 is formed in the middle and lower part of the inner side of the tank body 1, and a screening mechanism is fixedly connected in the ring groove 701. The screening mechanism includes a second electric telescopic rod 703. The second electric telescopic rod 703 is fixedly connected in the ring groove 701.

The heating stirrer 203 raises the temperature to accelerate the reaction. When the temperature detector 3 detects that the temperature at the top of the tank body 1 is too high, the control panel 9 starts the first water pump 401. The first water pump 401 pumps the condensate in the condensate tank 403 to the condensate pipe 4 through the liquid inlet pipe 402. The condensate circulates to reduce the internal temperature. After the reaction is completed, the first electric telescopic rod 204 is started to retract, and the baffle 206 no longer blocks the outlet of the reaction bottom plate 205, and the product flows out to the sieve plate 702. The second motor 7 starts the second electric telescopic rod 703 to perform reciprocating telescopic motion. At this time, the whole screening mechanism becomes a vibrating screen. After the product reaches the inclined bottom platform 101, it flows out from the discharge pipe 6. After the reaction processing is completed, the second water pump 801 is started through the control panel 9. The second water pump 801 pumps water into the annular pipe 802 through the water inlet pipe 8, and then the water reaches the nozzle 804 from the connecting pipe 803 on the annular pipe 802. The water sprays out from the nozzle 804 penetrating the top end of the tank body 1 to clean the inner wall. After the flushing, the sewage reaches the inclined bottom platform 101 and then is discharged from the discharge pipe 6.
