Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0023] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another component, it can be directly on the other component or there may be an intermediate component.

Since the embodiments disclosed in this application can be arranged in different orientations, these terms indicating orientation are for illustrative purposes only and should not be considered as limitations. For example, "upper" and "lower" are not necessarily limited to directions opposite to or consistent with the direction of gravity.
[0024] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature.

[0027] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. The term "and / or" as used in this application includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this application provides a reaction apparatus. The reaction apparatus includes a housing 1 and a reaction flask 2. The housing 1 has a hollow interior forming a cavity, and the housing 1 has an opening 101 for the reaction flask 2 to pass through. That is, the reaction flask 2 can enter the cavity through the opening 101, and can also be removed through the opening 101. In one embodiment, the opening 101 is located near the top of the side plate of the housing 1. In this embodiment, the opening 101 is located on the top plate 10 of the housing 1. A cover plate 11 is provided on the housing 1 to open or close the opening 101.
[0029] The open opening facilitates the replacement, addition, or sampling of reaction flasks at different stages. Furthermore, a sealing element is installed on the inner side of the cover plate to ensure a tight seal between the cover plate and the opening perimeter when the opening is closed, preventing gas or liquid leakage and ensuring experimental safety. Additionally, the cover plate 11 can be made of high-strength, low-temperature resistant materials, ensuring stability and safety under low-temperature and high-pressure environments. The cover plate 11 is connected to the chamber via a hinge, allowing for easy opening and closing. Alternatively, it can be connected to the chamber via a sliding mechanism.
[0030] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the reaction apparatus also includes a heating element 4 for heating the reaction flask 2 and a temperature measuring element 3 for detecting the temperature inside the reaction flask 2. The signal output terminal of the temperature measuring element 3 is electrically connected to the controller. It can be understood that the heating element 4 heats the reaction flask 2, while the temperature measuring element 3 detects the temperature of the reaction flask 2 in real time and feeds the data back to the controller. Since the controller is electrically connected to the heating element 4, it can control the heating power of the heating element 4 to ensure that the reaction flask 2 reaches the set temperature range. That is, through the cooperation of the heating element 4 and the temperature measuring element 3, the temperature inside the reaction flask 2 can be maintained within the set range, ensuring that the reaction is reliably kept within the set temperature range, thus better meeting the requirements for precise temperature control in high-temperature reactions.
[0031] The heating element 4 mentioned above is a heating rod or other heating element. For example... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a container 5 is provided inside the cavity, and a container chamber is formed inside the container 5. The reaction flask 2 is located inside the container chamber. The heating element 4 and the temperature measuring element 3 are both provided on the container 5, and the heating element 4 is located below the reaction flask 2.
[0032] Understandably, the presence of container 5 facilitates the placement of reaction flask 2. Furthermore, different heating powers can be set according to experimental needs, supporting temperature control from room temperature to a maximum of 700°C.
[0033] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the containment chamber is equipped with multiple upward-facing mounting slots for placing reaction flasks 2. This means that a single containment chamber can hold multiple reaction flasks 2, and the user can select the number of reaction flasks 2 to place according to actual needs. Furthermore, multiple reaction flasks 2 arranged in the same area support simultaneous execution of multiple sets of experiments. Each mounting slot corresponds to a heating element 4. In other words, each reaction flask 2 is in an independent temperature-controlled zone, ensuring precise reaction conditions for each.
[0034] In addition, such as Figure 4As shown, the top of the aforementioned container 4 is covered by a baffle 6, meaning the top of the container is open. The baffle 6 has a positioning hole 61 for the reaction flask 2 to pass through. It is understood that the presence of the positioning hole 61 allows the reaction flask 2 to be positioned, effectively preventing displacement or damage during subsequent stirring and vibration, thus ensuring the safety and stability of the experimental process.
[0035] The baffle 6 is made of the same material as the box 1, and has good fireproof and explosion-proof performance.
[0036] The containment chamber is equipped with upward-facing mounting slots for placing reaction flasks 2; there are multiple mounting slots. It is understood that a single containment chamber can hold multiple reaction flasks 2, and the user can select the number of reaction flasks 2 to place according to actual needs. Furthermore, multiple reaction flasks 2 arranged in the same area support simultaneous execution of multiple sets of experiments.
[0037] The reaction flask 2 is equipped with a stirring element, and the housing 1 is equipped with a magnetic stirring motor 8 that drives the stirring element to stir, located below the container box 5.
[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, when the above-mentioned reaction equipment is started, the experimenter sets the experimental parameters through the control panel. The internal controller of the reaction equipment will independently control the temperature of each reaction flask 2 through the internal temperature measuring element 3 according to the set values. A magnetic stirring motor 8 is installed below the experimental area, and the stirring speed can be adjusted according to experimental needs to ensure thorough mixing of the reactants. All data during the experiment, including temperature, stirring speed, and reaction progress, will be fed back to the controller in real time through sensors to ensure precise control and recording during the experiment. After the experiment is completed, the experimental data can be remotely replayed through a mobile device, and the experimental results can be analyzed using the digital twin function inside the reaction equipment.
[0039] The aforementioned container 5 comprises multiple units, which can be arranged to form multiple temperature zones. A single reaction apparatus can achieve reactions in different temperature zones, better meeting the needs of experimenters. Each container 5 corresponds to a temperature sensor 3. The temperature sensor 3 is connected to the experimental area (i.e., the container chamber) where the reaction flask 2 is located. Each temperature sensor 3 can detect the temperature inside the reaction flask 2 in its corresponding experimental area in real time and feed the data back to the controller to ensure the accuracy of temperature control. Through the distribution of multiple temperature sensors 3, the multi-temperature zone independent temperature control function of the reaction apparatus can be realized, thereby meeting the experimental needs of different reaction flasks 2 with different temperature requirements. Users can set different temperature conditions for different reaction flasks 2 according to experimental requirements.
[0040] This design allows the reaction apparatus to provide independent temperature and stirring conditions within different reaction flasks, meeting the diverse environmental requirements of complex experiments. Furthermore, the compact internal structure and carefully designed layout of the components ensure efficient operation and stability. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a magnetic stirring motor 8 is installed below each container 5. A stirring element is installed inside the reaction flask 2, and the magnetic stirring motor 8 drives the stirring element to stir. In this embodiment, the magnetic stirring motor 8, which drives the stirring element, is installed inside the housing 1 at a position below the container 5.
[0041] Understandably, the magnetic stirrer 8 uses magnetic force to drive the stirring element inside the reaction flask 2 for uniform mixing. The rotation speed of the magnetic stirrer 8 can be precisely adjusted via a control panel or remote operation. The stirring rate is adjustable within the range of 0 to 1000 rpm, ensuring uniform mixing of liquids of different viscosities, improving reaction efficiency, and achieving ideal reaction results. It is suitable for various experimental scenarios, ensuring uniform mixing of reactants within the reaction flask 2 and improving reaction efficiency. Furthermore, for liquids with very high viscosity, a more powerful magnetic stirrer 8 can be used.
[0042] The aforementioned magnetic stirring motor 8, through non-contact magnetic transmission, avoids the wear and contamination caused by traditional mechanical stirring methods, thus improving the reliability and durability of the reaction equipment. The low-noise design of the magnetic stirring motor 8 allows it to maintain a quiet laboratory environment while operating efficiently.
[0043] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a receiving chamber 14 is provided inside the cavity, located below the receiving box 5, and the magnetic stirring motor 8 is located inside the receiving chamber 14. The box body 1 includes an outer peripheral plate 15 located at least partially around the receiving chamber 14. The outer peripheral plate 15 includes a surrounding plate 151 and a side cover plate 152. The surrounding plate 151 has an opening that communicates with the receiving chamber 14, and the side cover plate 152 is detachably installed at the opening to open or close the opening.
[0044] Understandably, the presence of the receiving chamber 14 facilitates the housing of the aforementioned magnetic stirring motor 8 while increasing the storage space for other components, and also protects the components within the receiving chamber 14. The side cover 152 is removable, facilitating maintenance and repair of the components within the receiving chamber 14.
[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the aforementioned housing 1 includes a front wall panel 12 located in front of the side cover plate 152. The front wall panel 12 includes at least an upper plate 121 and a lower plate 122 arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The upper plate 121 is equipped with a viewing window 1211 for easy observation, and the front surface of the lower plate 122 is provided with a control panel 7, which is at least partially located above the side cover plate 152. In this embodiment, the control panel 7 is located above the side cover plate 152. The presence of the viewing window 1211 allows the experimenter to observe the reaction progress at any time. In addition, the control panel adopts a waterproof and dustproof design to ensure safe and stable operation during the experiment.
[0046] The enclosure 1 is equipped with a control switch 131, a temperature interface 132, and a communication interface 133 for data transmission. The temperature interface 132 is electrically connected to the temperature measuring element 3. In one embodiment, the control switch 131, temperature interface 132, and communication interface 133 are located on different wall panels of the enclosure 1. In another embodiment, the control switch 131, temperature interface 132, and communication interface 133 are all located on the side wall panel of the enclosure 1. In this embodiment, as... Figure 2 As shown, the enclosure 1 includes a rear panel 13 located behind the front wall panel 12. A control switch 131, a temperature interface 132, a liquid inlet, and a communication interface 133 are all located on the rear panel 13. The control switch 131 can be located on either the left or right side of the rear panel 13. The rear panel 13 also includes a power connector 134.
[0047] Understandably, control switch 131 is used to control the opening and closing of the reaction equipment. This control switch 131 directly controls the power supply to the entire reaction equipment, ensuring complete power disconnection when the equipment is not in use through physical power off, avoiding energy waste and improving the safety of the reaction equipment. Before the experiment begins, the user needs to provide power to the reaction equipment via this control switch 131 to ensure the normal operation of each subsystem.
[0048] Power connector 134 supports 220V or 110V power supply, ensuring the versatility of the reaction equipment in different laboratory environments. Power connector 134 also features overload protection, automatically cutting off power in case of excessive current or internal faults, preventing damage to the connector.
[0049] The communication interface 133 includes at least one of a USB interface, a network interface, and a sensor interface. In this embodiment, the communication interface 133 includes a USB interface, a network interface, and a sensor interface. The USB interface is used to connect to a local computer or data storage device, facilitating the download and storage of experimental data. The network interface supports remote monitoring and operation of the reaction equipment via a local area network or the Internet. Users can achieve real-time remote control and data viewing of the experimental process by connecting a mobile device or computer. The sensor interface connects to external sensors or expansion devices to enhance the monitoring capabilities of the laboratory environment, such as the access of external temperature, pressure, or humidity sensors.
[0050] Temperature interface 132 is used to connect an external temperature sensor to ensure accurate monitoring of the temperature inside reaction flask 2. The reaction equipment supports the simultaneous operation of multiple temperature sensors 3 to enable independent temperature monitoring of different reaction flasks 2, ensuring the realization of multi-temperature zone temperature control.
[0051] Researchers can set basic parameters, and the reaction equipment will automatically adjust experimental conditions based on real-time data to ensure the experiment is conducted under optimal conditions. This significantly reduces manual intervention and improves experimental efficiency and the reliability of results. The reaction equipment can achieve independent temperature control in multiple temperature zones, stirring, and other multi-functional collaborative operation, solving the problem of poor functional integration in existing technologies. Through multiple temperature sensors and heating elements, precise control of different reaction flasks under different experimental conditions is achieved, adapting to complex experimental environments and enhancing the flexibility and applicability of experiments.
[0052] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0053] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of this application should be determined by the appended claims.
