[0024] The specific embodiments of the utility model are described below in combination with the drawings. Specific embodiment one:

[0027] In the equipment, the whole reactor is composed of first sub -tank 1, second sub -tank 2 and storage tank 3, the storage tank 3 is used to store the final obtained reaction material, the raw material of lithium hexafluorophosphate is entered from first feed inlet 5 and second feed inlet 6 respectively, drive motor 4 can control stirring fan blade 7 to uniformly stir the mixture, after stirring, the output end is driven to overturn turnover piece 9 by rotary motor group 10, and turnover piece 9 is in vertical state after overturning, so that the mouth at the bottom leaks, and the material in first sub -tank 1 falls from the mouth leaked by turnover piece 9 and sequentially enters second sub -tank 2 at the bottom.
[0028] The inner wall of second sub -tank 2 is provided with circle groove 11, the middle part of the bottom end in second sub -tank 2 is provided with discharge port 12, the inside of second sub -tank 2 is connected with clamping plate 14, the shape of clamping plate 14 is semicircular, the clamping plate 14 in second sub -tank 2 is arranged in staggered stepped form, and there is a gap between adjacent clamping plate 14, the outside of clamping plate 14 is provided with clamping groove 15, one side of clamping plate 14 close to clamping groove 15 is connected with assembled ladder 13, one side of assembled ladder 13 is provided with convex edge 18, convex edge 18 and clamping groove 15 are connected with each other and are matched with each other, the top of assembled ladder 13 is provided with clamping block 17, the bottom of assembled ladder 13 is provided with bottom connecting groove 16, and clamping block 17 and bottom connecting groove 16 are matched with each other.
[0029] In the inside of second sub -tank 2, clamping plate 14 can be connected in each circle groove 11 from top to bottom, and the number of clamping plate 14 required can be installed according to the situation in actual application, and the whole clamping plate 14 is installed in a stepped form, and assembled ladder 13 is installed on one side of each group of clamping plate 14, and the upper and lower two groups of clamping plate 14 are connected through assembled ladder 13 after assembly, for buffering, because there is a gap between the upper and lower two groups of clamping plate 14, the material falls from a high place, which will affect the synthesis. Specific embodiment two
[0031] Reference Figures 1-5In the device, the two key raw materials for synthesizing lithium hexafluorophosphate are lithium fluoride (LiF) and phosphorus pentafluoride (PF5), which enter the first sub-tank 1 through the first and second feed ports 5 and 6 at the top of the first sub-tank 1. After the driving motor 4 is started, the stirring fan blade 7 at the bottom of the first sub-tank 1 begins to rotate, providing strong stirring for the lithium fluoride and phosphorus pentafluoride raw materials entering the first sub-tank 1. The rotation of the stirring fan blade 7 breaks the aggregation state of the raw materials, causing the raw material particles to be uniformly dispersed in the space of the first sub-tank 1, ensuring that the two raw materials are in full contact, creating a uniform mixing environment for subsequent chemical reactions. The stirring process continues for a sufficient time to achieve the desired mixing effect, allowing the molecules between the raw materials to fully interact, improving the uniformity and reaction rate of the reaction.
[0032] When the raw materials in the first sub-tank 1 are mixed, the rotary motor group 10 begins to work, driving the turnover plate 9 at the bottom of the chassis 8 to perform a turnover operation. The turnover plate 9 is originally in a horizontal position, sealing the outlet at the bottom of the chassis 8 to prevent material leakage. Under the drive of the rotary motor group 10, the turnover plate 9 is turned from a horizontal state to a vertical state, and the outlet at the bottom of the chassis 8 is opened, allowing the mixed material in the first sub-tank 1 to fall under the action of gravity.
[0033] The ring groove 11 on the inner wall of the second sub-tank 2 provides positioning for the installation of the clamping plates 14. The clamping plates 14 are designed in a semi-circular shape and arranged in a staggered stepped manner, which aims to prolong the residence time of the material in the second sub-tank 2 and increase the movement path of the material. When the material falls from the first sub-tank 1 into the second sub-tank 2, it will first fall on the uppermost clamping plate 14. Due to the semi-circular shape of the clamping plate 14, the material will disperse along the arc surface of the clamping plate 14, rather than falling in a concentrated point, avoiding the problem of material accumulation and excessive local reaction. The gap between adjacent clamping plates 14 provides a falling channel for the material, allowing it to flow layer by layer downward.
[0034] The assembled steps 13 are clamped in the clamping grooves 15 on the outer side of each clamping plate 14. The convex edges 18 of the assembled steps 13 are clamped with the clamping grooves 15, ensuring the stability of their positions. At the same time, the clamping blocks 17 of the assembled steps 13 are adapted with the bottom clamping grooves 16 of the adjacent assembled steps 13 below, forming a continuous stepped structure. This structure design is of great significance to the flow of the material:
[0035] Buffering function: When the material falls from the upper clamping plate 14, it will first hit the assembled steps 13 below, which provide a buffer for the material, reducing the impact force of the falling material and avoiding splashing and excessive impact on the inner wall of the reactor caused by high-speed falling of the material, protecting the structural integrity of the reactor. At the same time, it also avoids the problem of uneven dispersion of the material caused by impact, ensuring that the material can maintain a relatively stable state during the falling process.
[0036] Material guiding and reaction promotion: By assembling the stepped arrangement of ladder steps 13, the material will slowly flow down along the surface of these ladder steps, increasing the residence time of the material in the second sub-tank 2, providing more sufficient time and space for the reaction between lithium fluoride and phosphorus pentafluoride. As the material passes through each assembled ladder step 13, it will continuously adjust its distribution state, so that the two raw materials can further mix and react at different heights and positions, promoting the progress of the chemical reaction.
[0037] Improvement of reaction uniformity: The stepped card board 14 and the assembled ladder step 13 form a structure, which makes the flow path of the material in the second sub-tank 2 more tortuous and complex. The material continuously contacts with new raw materials and intermediate products during the falling process, ensuring the uniformity of the reaction and avoiding the problem of unstable product quality caused by local reaction too fast or too slow.
[0038] This reactor adopts three groups of continuous tanks (first sub-tank 1, second sub-tank 2 and storage tank 3), which makes the synthesis process continuous and scalable.
[0039] Material transfer from the second sub-tank to the storage tank: After the material completes a certain degree of reaction and treatment in the second sub-tank 2, it will enter the storage tank 3 through the discharge port 12 at the bottom center of the second sub-tank 2.
[0040] Continuous operation advantage: When multiple groups of such continuous reactors are used in series, the storage tank 3 of the first group of reactors can be connected with the first sub-tank 1 of the next group of reactors, forming a continuous production process. The product synthesized in the previous group of reactors can be used as raw material or intermediate product for the next group of reactors, continuing the subsequent reaction or treatment steps, realizing the continuous operation of the lithium hexafluorophosphate synthesis process. This continuous operation can greatly improve production efficiency, reduce material transfer and waiting time in the production process, improve the overall operation efficiency of the equipment, and reduce production cost.
[0041] In summary:
[0042] 1、In this device, the continuous lithium hexafluorophosphate synthesis reactor provides an efficient, stable and continuous operation device for the synthesis of lithium hexafluorophosphate through the cooperation of unique tank structure, buffer structure and continuous tank. From the feeding and mixing of raw materials, to the material transfer and reaction between different tanks, to the storage of the final product, each link is carefully designed to optimize the synthesis process of lithium hexafluorophosphate, improve product quality and production efficiency.
[0043] 2. In this equipment, the groove 11 on the inner wall of the second sub-tank 2 provides positioning for the installation of the pallet 14. The pallet 14 adopts a semi-circular design and is arranged in an alternating stepped manner. Its purpose is to extend the residence time of the material in the second sub-tank 2 and increase the movement path of the material. When the material falls from the first sub-tank 1 into the second sub-tank 2, it will first fall on the uppermost pallet 14. Due to the semi-circular shape of the pallet 14, the material will be dispersed along the arc surface of the pallet 14 instead of falling in one point, thus avoiding the problems of material accumulation and excessively violent local reactions. The gap between adjacent pallets 14 provides a falling channel for the material, allowing the material to flow downward layer by layer.
