Therefore, the tubular microwave reactor has been widely used in industrial production.

[0003] Two forms of the tubular microwave reactor are disclosed in the prior art.

The ceramic plate or the polytetrafluoroethylene plate not only can isolate the microwave generator from the reaction material, but also has good microwave penetration, so that the microwave generated by the microwave generator can directly act on the reaction material through the ceramic plate or the polytetrafluoroethylene plate.

[0005] The other is disclosed in the coil pipe type microwave reactor in Chinese patent document CN112439375A, the pipe length of the reaction cavity is larger than the pipe diameter, and the reaction cavity is in the form of a coil pipe in the equipment shell, and microwave sources are fixedly arranged on the front two sides and the back two sides of the equipment shell.

However, when the microwave reactor in the former form is used, the reaction material is prone to deposition, which affects the reaction efficiency, and the stirring device is also prone to damage.

It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the appended claims. Example 1

[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the tubular microwave reactor described in this application comprises two main components: a reaction zone and a premixing cylinder 70. The premixing cylinder 70 stands upright on the ground, while the reaction zone is mounted entirely on a base 90. The premixing cylinder 70 and the reaction zone are connected by a flexible hose. The premixing cylinder 70 is barrel-shaped and is separately configured from the reaction pipeline 10 in the reaction zone, used for premixing the reactants. Two inlets are located at the top, and one outlet is located at the bottom. The outlet is connected to a pump to pump the thoroughly mixed material to the reaction zone.

[0042] like Figure 3As shown, the premixing cylinder 70 is provided with a stirring paddle 80 driven by a motor, the bottom of the stirring paddle 80 is provided with a paddle blade 81 which is a circular arc rod. The shape of the paddle blade 81 corresponds to the shape of the bottom of the premixing cylinder 70. Since the present application mainly aims at mixing the mixture of insoluble solid material and liquid reaction material, relatively high-speed stirring can easily cause damage to the inner wall of the premixing cylinder 70 and the stirring paddle 80. The circular arc rod of the paddle blade 81 in low-speed rotation is mainly used to push away the insoluble solid material in contact with the inner wall of the premixing cylinder 70, so that the insoluble solid material in the upper layer is repositioned, thereby realizing the mixing of the insoluble solid material, and the damage to the inner wall of the premixing cylinder 70 and the stirring paddle 80 is relatively small. The stirring paddle 80 can be made of tetrafluoroethylene material, so that the premixing cylinder 70 can adapt to corrosive reaction materials.

[0043] As shown in Figure 1 , Figures 4-6 , the reaction zone mainly includes a reaction pipeline 10 providing a reaction space for material reaction and a microwave unit 20 providing a heat source for material reaction, both of which are located on a bearing platform 30. The reaction pipeline 10 is made of ceramic material, and the two ends are respectively the feeding end and the discharging end. The reaction pipeline 10 is provided with a rotating feeding cover 12 at the feeding end, the rotating feeding cover 12 is rotationally sealed with the reaction pipeline 10, and the rotating feeding cover 12 is provided with a feeding pipe 13, the feeding pipe 13 is communicated with the premixing cylinder 70 through a hose. The reaction pipeline 10 is provided with a rotating discharging cover 14 at the discharging end, the rotating discharging cover 14 is rotationally sealed with the reaction pipeline 10, and the rotating discharging cover 14 is provided with a discharging hole 141 below the central axis of the reaction pipeline 10 to facilitate discharging. The discharging hole 141 is sealed by a sealing cover (not shown in the figure), which is opened when discharging.

[0044] As shown in Figures 4-7 , the two ends of the reaction pipeline 10 are fixed with metal end sleeves 11, and the microwave unit 20 is arranged between the metal end sleeves 11. The microwave unit 20 includes a microwave shielding cover 21 and a microwave generator 22 arranged on the microwave shielding cover 21. The microwave shielding cover 21 is in the shape of a hexahedron, and each end of the microwave shielding cover 21 is provided with a connecting sleeve 23 for cooperation with the metal end sleeve 11, so that one end of the metal end sleeve 11 can rotate in the gap between the reaction pipeline 10 and the connecting sleeve 23. As shown in Figure 8 , the microwave shielding cover 21 is provided in an upper and lower half type to facilitate installation. The lower half of the microwave shielding cover 21 is fixed to the bearing platform 30 by a support. The microwave shielding cover 21 is provided with the microwave generator 22 on each of the six faces, and three groups of microwave generators 22 are arranged along the extension direction of the microwave shielding cover 21.

[0045] As shown in Figures 1-2As shown, the bearing platform 30 is also provided with a rotary driving mechanism 40 and an inclination adjusting mechanism 50. The rotary driving mechanism 40 is used to drive the reaction pipe 10 to rotate to guide the longitudinal overturning of the solid-state reaction material inside the reaction pipe 10. The rotary driving mechanism 40 includes a driving end 41 and a driven end 42, which are respectively located at two ends of the reaction pipe 10. The driving end 41 includes a gear 411 fixed to the metal end sleeve 11 and a gear driver 412 installed on the bearing platform 30. The inclination adjusting mechanism 50 is located between the bearing platform 30 and the base 90, and is used to adjust the inclination of the reaction pipe 10 to guide the lateral movement of the solid-state reaction material along the reaction pipe 10. The inclination adjusting mechanism 50 includes a hinged end 51 and an electric push rod end 52, which are respectively located at two ends of the bottom of the bearing platform 30. The base 90 is downwardly inclined towards the feeding end of the reaction pipe 10, so that the reaction pipe 10 can be downwardly inclined towards both the feeding end and the discharging end thereof.

[0046] As shown in Figure 5 , Figure 7 , the inner wall of the reaction pipe 10 is provided with a scraper mechanism 60 arranged in a strip shape by ceramic pieces, which is arranged along the extension direction of the central axis of the reaction pipe 10 and protrudes from the inner wall surface of the reaction pipe 10, and is used to scoop up the solid-state reaction material located at the bottom of the reaction pipe 10. As an obvious deformation, the scraper mechanism 60 can also be processed into a ceramic strip and arranged transversely on the inner wall of the reaction pipe 10. Embodiment 2
