[0020] The inventors of this solution have found that in the prior art, the interaction and fusion of microfluidic homogenizing cavities is slow. If used in parallel, it will lead to an increase in overall cost. This embodiment provides the following solution:

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a microfluidic homogenizing chamber, including a homogenizing valve chamber 1, in which a first channel and a second channel are provided. The inlet ends of the first channel and the second channel are both connected to the inlet 11 of the homogenizing valve chamber 1, and the outlet ends of the first channel and the second channel are both connected to the outlet 12 of the homogenizing valve chamber 1. The first channel and the second channel are each provided with an inlet diverter pipe 2, an inlet retainer 3, a mixing element 4, an outlet retainer 5, and an outlet collecting pipe 6, which are connected in sequence. The mixing element 4 is provided with multiple microchannels 41.

[0022] It should be noted that after the material enters the inlet 11 of the homogenizing valve cavity 1, it passes through the inlet diversion pipe 2 into the first channel and the second channel respectively, and enters the microchannel of the mixing element 4 through the inlet retainer 3 for interactive fusion. After completion, it flows out from the outlet 12 of the homogenizing valve cavity 1 through the outlet retainer 5 and the outlet collecting pipe 6, thereby increasing the speed of interactive fusion and reducing costs.

[0023] In some embodiments, first protrusions 31 are provided on both sides of the outlet end of the inlet retainer 3, and a first groove adapted to the first protrusion 31 is provided at the end of the mixing element 4, thereby improving the stability of the mixing element 4 and reducing the impact of vibration, while also relatively improving the stability of the inlet retainer 3.

[0024] In some embodiments, a second protrusion 61 is provided on both sides of the inlet end of the outlet retainer 6, and a second groove adapted to the second protrusion 61 is provided at the end of the mixing element 4, thereby improving the stability of the mixing element 4 and reducing the impact of vibration, while also relatively improving the stability of the outlet retainer 6.

[0025] In some embodiments, the inlet retainer 3 and the outlet retainer 5 are provided with a first flow channel 351, a second flow channel 352 and a third flow channel 353 which are connected in sequence. The first flow channel 351 and the third flow channel 353 are both truncated cone structures, and the second flow channel 352 is a cylindrical structure, which can accelerate the flow of materials.

[0026] In some embodiments, the homogenizing valve chamber 1 is made of stainless steel and has a cylindrical structure to improve corrosion resistance. The microchannels 41 are arranged linearly and evenly to increase the stability of material interaction and fusion. The mixing element 4 is made of diamond to increase its stability.

[0027] In some embodiments, the inlet diameter of the inlet branch pipe 2 is larger than the outlet diameter of the inlet branch pipe 2, thereby increasing the flow rate of the material flowing into the first channel and the second channel. The inlet diameter of the outlet collecting pipe 6 is smaller than the outlet diameter of the outlet collecting pipe 6, thereby increasing the flow rate of the material flowing out.

[0028] To sum up, the embodiment of the present invention provides a micro-jet homogenization chamber, in which two channels are set in the homogenization valve cavity. By setting a diversion pipe in each channel, the material is divided into two paths from the inlet for interactive fusion, which greatly improves the speed of material interactive fusion and reduces the cost.
