Description

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0025] As shown in the accompanying Figure 1 to the accompanying Figure 4 As shown:

[0026] The micro-channel continuous flow reactor for drug synthesis provided by the present application comprises a return cooling water tank 1, a bearing frame 2, a base 3, a reactor main body 4, a liquid outlet channel 5, a liquid inlet channel 6, a communication pipe 7 and a circulating pump device 8, the bearing frame 2 is fixedly installed above the return cooling water tank 1, the base 3 is installed on the bearing frame 2, a plurality of reactor main bodies 4 are horizontally arranged and installed on the base 3, the plurality of reactor main bodies 4 are communicated with the liquid outlet channel 5 and the liquid inlet channel 6, the liquid inlet channel 6 is communicated with the output end of the circulating pump device 8 through the communication pipe 7, and the input end of the circulating pump device 8 is communicated with the return cooling water tank 1.

[0027] Further, the return cooling water tank 1 comprises a water tank box 11, a partition plate 12, a sinking baffle 13, an upper sinking baffle 14 and a return port 15, wherein the water tank box 11 serves as an overall frame, and a bearing frame 2 is fixedly installed above the water tank box 11 and used for supporting key components such as the reactor main body 4. In addition, a circulating pump device 8 is also fixedly installed outside the water tank box 11, and a water outlet is arranged in communication with an input end of the circulating pump device 8 to realize the circulating flow of the liquid. Inside the water tank box 11, at least three partition plates 12 are fixedly installed, and the partition plates 12 and the water tank box 11 jointly form a plurality of liquid channels. Each liquid channel is provided with a return port 15 between adjacent partition plates 12, and the return ports 15 combine with the liquid channels to form a complete transverse return flow channel. This design enables the liquid to repeatedly return and flow in the plurality of channels, greatly increasing the flow path and the heat dissipation area.

[0028] Further, in the liquid channels, a plurality of sinking baffles 13 and upper sinking baffles 14 are respectively arranged. The baffles are all in a serpentine bending structure and are arranged in an alternating transverse manner in the liquid channels. The bottom of the sinking baffle 13 is fixed to the inner wall groove bottom of the water tank box 11, and the liquid is allowed to flow freely above the sinking baffle 13. The bottom of the upper sinking baffle 14 is not fixed to the inner wall groove bottom of the water tank box 11, and the liquid is also allowed to flow at the bottom end of the upper sinking baffle 14, but the liquid is not allowed to pass through at the top end of the upper sinking baffle 14. This design enables the liquid to constantly change the flow direction and flow rate during the flow process, thereby realizing a more efficient heat dissipation effect.

[0029] Further, in order to further improve the heat dissipation efficiency, the utility model also arranges a cooling top plate 16 above the middle position of the water tank box 11. The cooling top plate is located below the base 3 and is fixedly installed with a plurality of cooling fans 17. The cold air generated by the cooling fans 17 passes through the gap of the cooling top plate 16 to blow the liquid below, thereby further accelerating the heat dissipation speed of the liquid channel above. At the same time, the presence of the cooling top plate 16 also plays a role in stabilizing the liquid level and preventing the liquid from splashing out.

[0030] Further, at the two sides of the water tank box 11, one liquid channel is in communication with the circulating pump device 8 through the water outlet, and the other liquid channel is provided with a liquid outlet channel 5 above. After the liquid in the reactor main body 4 is heat-exchanged, the liquid is discharged into the liquid channel below through the liquid outlet channel 5. Subsequently, the liquid is repeatedly folded and flows back under the action of the circulating pump device 8, and is then pumped back into the reactor main body 4 after being cooled, thereby forming a complete circulating flow system. This design not only ensures the continuous cooling and heat dissipation effect of the liquid, but also improves the stability and reliability of the entire reaction system.

[0031] The working principle is as follows: firstly, the circulating pump device 8 pumps the internal liquid through its output end into the communication pipe 7. The communication pipe 7 serves as a transmission medium to guide the liquid to the liquid inlet channel 6. The liquid inlet channel 6 then distributes the liquid to each reactor body 4 for heat exchange.

[0032] In the reactor body 4, the liquid absorbs the heat generated by the reaction, causing its temperature to rise. In order to ensure that the reaction is carried out within the appropriate temperature range, the liquid with heat needs to be guided out through the liquid outlet channel 5.

[0033] The liquid outlet channel 5 discharges the liquid into the liquid channel directly below it, which is located inside the sink box 11. At this time, the liquid begins to enter the cooling process of the return cooling sink 1. In the liquid channel, the liquid first encounters the downward folding plate 13. The downward folding plate 13 guides the liquid to flow upward with its serpentine bending structure, and in the process, increases the flow path and heat dissipation area of the liquid.

[0034] Subsequently, the liquid continues to flow and encounters the upward folding plate 14. Unlike the downward folding plate 13, the bottom of the upward folding plate 14 is not fixed to the inner wall groove bottom of the sink box 11, and the bottom end allows the liquid to flow, but the top end prevents the liquid from passing through. This design allows the liquid to change direction again when flowing through the upward folding plate 14, further increasing the heat dissipation effect.

[0035] In the liquid channel, the downward folding plate 13 and the upward folding plate 14 appear in an alternating transverse arrangement, so that the liquid repeatedly flows up and down in multiple channels. This complex flow pattern not only greatly increases the heat dissipation area of the liquid, but also helps to break the temperature stratification in the liquid and improve the overall mixing effect.

[0036] At the same time, the cooling top plate 16 located above the middle position of the sink box begins to play a role. The cooling top plate is fixedly installed with several cooling fans 17, and the cooling air generated by the cooling fans 17 blows to the liquid below through the gap of the cooling top plate 16, further accelerating the cooling speed of the liquid.

[0037] After sufficient cooling, the liquid is again pumped back by the circulating pump device 8 through the water outlet on one of the two liquid channels at the sides of the sink box 11. At this time, the liquid has completed the complete circulation flow process from the reactor body 4 to the return cooling sink 1 and then to the reactor body 4.

[0038] Under the action of the circulating pump device 8, these cooled liquids are again sent into the communication pipe 7 and the liquid inlet channel 6, and then distributed to each reactor main body 4, providing the medium required for the next round of drug synthesis reaction to cool and exchange heat. This design not only ensures the continuous cooling and heat dissipation effect of the liquid, but also improves the stability and reliability of the whole reaction system, thereby ensuring the efficient and safe operation of the drug synthesis reaction.

[0039] The technical scheme disclosed by the utility model, or the technical scheme inspired by the technical scheme of the utility model by those skilled in the art, designs similar technical schemes, and achieves the above technical effects, which falls within the protection scope of the utility model.
