[0026] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0027] As Figure 1 shown, a rapid mixing continuous reaction crystallizer provided in this embodiment includes: a crystallizer body 10, a draft tube 20, an axial flow agitator 30, and a draft tube jacket 40. The crystallizer body 10 has a reaction chamber 101 inside, a first feed inlet 102 is provided at the bottom of the crystallizer body 10, and a second feed inlet 103 is provided at the top; both ends of the draft tube 20 are open, the draft tube 20 is located inside the reaction chamber 101 and is coaxially arranged with the crystallizer body 10, and the first feed inlet 102 communicates with the inside of the draft tube 20; the axial flow agitator 30 enters the inside of the draft tube 20 from the bottom of the crystallizer body 10 and rotates inside the draft tube 20; the draft tube jacket 40 is coaxially sleeved outside the draft tube 20 and maintains a certain distance from the outer wall of the draft tube 20 to form a jacket cavity 401, and a heat medium flows through the jacket cavity 401; a material outlet 104 is provided at the bottom of the crystallizer body 10.
[0028] Specifically, the first feed inlet 102 of this embodiment is used to feed reactant a, the second feed inlet 103 is used to feed reactant b, the reaction chamber 101 serves as the space for the contact reaction between reactant a and reactant b, an axial flow agitator 30 is arranged inside the draft tube 20, serving as the channel for the axial flow agitator 30 to convey reactant a to the top of the reaction chamber 101, the heat medium introduced into the inner cavity 401 of the draft tube jacket 40 is used to accelerate the diffusion of reactant a during the conveying process, and the material outlet 104 is used to discharge the crystals obtained after the reaction. When the crystallizer of this embodiment is in use, reactant a directly enters the inside of the draft tube 20 through the first feed inlet 102, and is quickly dispersed by the rotation of the axial flow agitator 30 with a large flow rate, and is quickly sent to the top of the reaction chamber 101 through the draft tube 20. At the same time, introducing the heat medium into the cavity 401 can accelerate the diffusion of the reactant; then reactant b is fed through the second feed inlet 103 and comes into full contact with reactant a sent to the top of the reaction chamber 101, realizing the process of uniform, rapid and stable reaction of the two materials; the reaction products descend through the space between the draft tube 20 and the reaction chamber 101 under the action of the flow field and gravity. At the same time, under the heat exchange action of the internal heat medium of the draft tube jacket 40, the supersaturation is gradually eliminated and grows. The unreacted materials and fine particles enter the draft tube 20 again through the opening below the draft tube 20 at the bottom of the reaction chamber 101 under the stirring action and participate in the reaction again, ensuring the full and complete reaction, and at the same time ensuring the stability of the crystal particle size. The crystals with the completed particle size are deposited at the bottom of the reaction chamber 101 and discharged through the material outlet 104. The reactants are under the flow field of the draft tube and the axial flow agitator, and the heat exchange action of the draft tube jacket can avoid the generation of crystal wrapping and scaling phenomena during the reaction process. The new materials are continuously and quantitatively fed through the first feed inlet 102 at the bottom and the second feed inlet 103 at the top, and the crystals are continuously discharged through the material outlet 104, ensuring the continuous operation of the reaction crystallization and greatly improving the production efficiency.

Specifically, the heat medium enters from the inlet end of the outer half pipe 50, flows inside the outer half pipe 50, and enters the cavity 401 through the pipeline, and flows to the outlet end of the outer half pipe 50, so that the outer half pipe 50 and the cavity 401 are filled with the heat medium. Thus, the reaction products eliminate supersaturation and grow under the combined heat exchange action of the outer half pipe 50 and the draft tube jacket 40 to obtain the final crystals; and by regulating the temperature of the heat medium in the outer half pipe 50 and the cavity 401, the constant temperature environment inside the reaction chamber 401 is maintained, making the reactants purer and the reaction more efficient.

[0033] In this embodiment, a maintenance flange 106 is provided at the bottom of the crystallizer body 10. The shaft rod of the axial flow stirrer 30 passes through the maintenance flange 106 to connect the driving mechanism 90. The maintenance flange 106 is used to fixedly support the driving mechanism 90. The maintenance flange 106 is detachable, which is convenient for the maintenance of the axial flow stirrer 30. The driving mechanism 90 serves as a power source to drive the axial flow stirrer 30 to rotate. Specifically, the driving mechanism can be composed of a driving motor connected to a transmission mechanism, and the transmission mechanism is connected to the shaft rod of the axial flow stirrer, so as to realize the rotation of the axial flow stirrer.
