[0002] Photochemical synthesis mainly utilizes the irradiation of an external light source to drive the occurrence and control of the reaction process, and achieve the efficient preparation of organic compounds or polymer polymers. Among them, the light source mainly uses visible light, ultraviolet light or LED lights, and the reaction conditions are mostly carried out under normal temperature and pressure, with the characteristics of low energy consumption, high efficiency, good safety, etc., so it has been widely used in the academic and industrial fields.

[0003] Existing photoreactors are either too large in volume to adapt to the limited laboratory environment, or too complex and professional in structure, far exceeding the experimental needs in the laboratory. Laboratory equipment should fully consider structure and cost. For this reason, we propose a simple photoreactor for laboratory use. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a simple photoreactor for laboratory use that can overcome or at least partially solve the above problems.

[0006] Preferably, a circular T-shaped groove is opened on the upper cover, the jacket is rotatably connected in the T-shaped groove, and a driven gear is fixedly connected to the bottom of the jacket.

[0007] Furthermore, a reed is fixedly connected inside the jacket, and the reed abuts against the test tube.

[0008] Preferably, a mounting seat is fixedly connected inside the cylinder body, the light source is fixedly connected to the mounting seat, and a mounting plate is fixedly connected to the other end of the light source.

[0009] Preferably, the driving component includes: a motor and a driving gear, the motor is fixedly installed on the mounting plate, the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the driving gear, and when the cylinder body and the upper cover are combined together, the driving gear meshes with the driven gear.

[0010] Furthermore, a rack is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the cylinder body. When the cylinder body is combined with the upper cover, the rack meshes with the driven gear.

[0011] Preferably, a supporting claw is fixedly connected to the top of the upper cover. The supporting claw corresponds to the through hole. When the test tube is inserted into the jacket, the supporting claw abuts against the curled edge of the test tube.

[0012] Preferably, both the cylinder body and the upper cover are made of light-proof materials.

[0013] After adopting the above technical solution, the utility model has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art: By setting the driving assembly, the test tube can rotate both around the center and around its own axis simultaneously. This not only enables the chemicals in the test tube to be evenly irradiated by the light source, improving the consistency of chemical reactions in various regions of the test tube, but also plays a role in centrifugal stirring of the chemicals in the test tube, helping to improve the reaction efficiency. At the same time, the rotation of the upper cover can also prompt the operator whether the instrument is running, preventing the test tube from being pulled out before the chemical reaction in the tube is completed, thus avoiding potential risks.

The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present utility model but are not used to limit the scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Embodiment: Refer to Figures 1-5 , a simple photoreactor for laboratory use, including an upper cover 2, and further including: a plurality of through holes 21 are opened on the upper cover 2, a jacket 7 is arranged in the through hole 21, and a test tube 3 is arranged in the jacket 7; a cylinder body 1 rotatably connected to the bottom of the upper cover 2, and a light source 4 is arranged in the cylinder body 1; a driving assembly for driving the test tube 3 to rotate; when the test tube 3 is inserted into the jacket 7, the light source 4 and the driving assembly are started, the driving assembly drives the test tube 3 to rotate self, and at the same time, the test tube 3 rotates around the light source 4; a circular T-shaped groove 22 is opened on the upper cover 2, the jacket 7 is rotatably connected in the T-shaped groove 22, and the bottom of the jacket 7 is fixedly connected with a driven gear 71; a reed 72 is fixedly connected to the inside of the jacket 7, and the reed 72 abuts against the test tube 3; a mounting seat 11 is fixedly connected to the inside of the cylinder body 1, the light source 4 is fixedly connected to the mounting seat 11, and the other end of the light source 4 is fixedly connected with a mounting plate 41; the driving assembly includes: a motor 5 and a driving gear 6, the motor 5 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 41, and the output end of the motor 5 is fixedly connected with the driving gear 6. When the cylinder body 1 and the upper cover 2 are combined together, the driving gear 6 is engaged with the driven gear 71; a circular rack 12 is further fixedly connected to the cylinder body 1. When the cylinder body 1 and the upper cover 2 are combined together, the rack 12 is engaged with the driven gear 71; a pawl 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the upper cover 2, and the pawl 23 corresponds to the through hole 21. When the test tube 3 is inserted into the jacket 7, the pawl 23 abuts against the curled edge of the test tube 3; both the cylinder body 1 and the upper cover 2 are made of light-tight materials;

[0024] First, insert the test tube 3 containing chemicals into the jacket 7. Under the action of the spring 72, the test tube 3 is firmly fixed in the jacket 7. The claw 23 presses against the curling edge of the test tube 3, so that the curling edge of the tube mouth of the test tube 3 is slightly higher than the plane of the upper cover 2, which is convenient for pulling the test tube 3 out of the jacket 7 after the reaction is completed; start the light source 4 and the driving component, the chemicals in the test tube 3 react chemically under the action of light, the motor 5 drives the driving gear 6 to rotate, and the driving gear 6 then transmits the rotation to the driven gear 71, so that the driven gear 71 rotates in the T-slot 22.

Under the cooperation of the revolution and rotation of the test tube 3, it can also play a role of centrifugal stirring for the chemicals in the test tube 3, which is helpful to improve the reaction efficiency. Since the jacket 7 in the perforation 21 has a limiting effect on the upper cover 2 at this time, the upper cover 2 will also start to rotate. The upper cover 2 and the cylinder 1 are made of opaque materials to ensure that the internal chemical reaction is not affected by the external light intensity. The rotation of the upper cover 2 can prompt the operator whether the equipment is running. After the reaction is completely completed, the tube mouth curling of the test tube 3 is clamped and the test tube 3 is pulled out of the jacket 7. It is simple and quick.
