However, direct lactic acid polycondensation requires high-temperature synthesis of PLA, which is often static when synthesized with dehydrating agents and catalysts, resulting in low synthesis efficiency.
[0004] In view of this, this utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problem of low efficiency in the synthesis of conventional polylactic acid, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0007] The synthesis cylinder is a hollow cylinder with a cylindrical feed pipe installed at the top. A stirring motor is also fixedly connected to the center of the top of the synthesis cylinder.

[0008] The frame consists of a rectangular frame at the bottom and symmetrical rectangular bars at the top. The synthesis cylinder is positioned between the symmetrical rectangular bars at the top of the frame.
[0009] The swaying structure is set on the wall of the frame to sway the synthesis cylinder. The swaying structure includes: a rotating shaft, a drive gear, a swing rail, and a driven gear. The rotating shaft is rotatably located at the rear of the synthesis cylinder. The drive gear is fixedly connected to the wall of the rotating shaft.

The drive gear can be threadedly connected to the driven gear.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the rotating shaft is cylindrical, the driving teeth are threaded and are located on the arc surface of the rotating shaft, the swing rail is an arc-shaped rod, and the driven teeth are located on the arc surface of the rear wall of the swing rail.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the swaying structure further includes a connecting shaft, a rear frame, a top plate, a servo motor, and a connecting block. The connecting shaft is symmetrically and fixedly connected to the two side walls of the synthesis cylinder. The rear frame is symmetrically and fixedly connected to the rear wall of each rectangular rod of the connecting shaft. The top plate is fixedly connected to the top of the symmetrical rear frame. The servo motor is fixedly connected to the top of the top plate. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the bottom of the top plate. The connecting block is fixedly connected to the rear wall of the synthesis cylinder. The rear wall of the connecting block can be fixedly connected to the front wall of the swing rail.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the connecting shaft is cylindrical, and the connecting shaft on each side can pass through the frame wall. The rear frame is an L-shaped rod, and the top plate can drive the rotating shaft to rotate.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a stirring shaft is rotatably connected inside the cavity of the synthesis cylinder.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model.
[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a polylactic acid synthesis device includes: a synthesis cylinder 20, which is a hollow cylinder with a cylindrical cavity, a cylindrical feed pipe installed at the top of the synthesis cylinder 20, a stirring motor 21 fixedly connected to the center of the top of the synthesis cylinder 20, and a solenoid valve for controlling the switch at the bottom of the synthesis cylinder 20.
[0029] The frame 24 consists of a rectangular frame at the bottom and symmetrical rectangular rods at the top of the frame. The synthesis cylinder 20 is located between the symmetrical rectangular rods at the top of the frame 24. A heating rod capable of heating is installed inside the cavity of the synthesis cylinder 20. The heating rod and the stirring motor 21 are both electrically connected to a corresponding power source. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, a swaying structure is installed on the wall of the frame 24 to sway the synthesis cylinder 20. The swaying structure includes: a rotating shaft 34, a driving gear 35, a swing rail 41, and a driven gear 42. The rotating shaft 34 is rotatably located at the rear of the synthesis cylinder 20. The driving gear 35 is fixedly connected to the wall of the rotating shaft 34. The swing rail 41 is fixedly connected to the rear wall of the synthesis cylinder 20. The driven gear 42 is opened on the rear wall of the swing rail 41. The driving gear 35 can be threadedly connected to the driven gear 42.
[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the rotating shaft 34 is cylindrical, the driving gear 35 is threaded, and the driving gear 35 is located on the arc surface of the rotating shaft 34. The swing rail 41 is an arc-shaped rod, and the driven gear 42 is located on the arc surface of the rear wall of the swing rail 41. The swaying structure also includes a connecting shaft 30, a rear frame 31, a top plate 32, a servo motor 33, and a connecting block 40. The connecting shaft 30 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the two side walls of the synthesis cylinder 20. The rear frame 31 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the rear wall of each rectangular rod of the connecting shaft 30. The top plate 32 is fixedly connected to the top of the symmetrical rear frame 31. The servo motor 33 is fixedly connected to the top of the top plate 32. The rotating shaft 34... The bottom of the top plate 32 is rotatably connected, the connecting block 40 is fixedly connected to the rear wall of the synthesis cylinder 20, the rear wall of the connecting block 40 can be fixedly connected to the front wall of the swing rail 41, the connecting shaft 30 is cylindrical, and the connecting shaft 30 on each side can pass through the wall of the frame 24. The rear frame 31 is an L-shaped rod, the top plate 32 can drive the rotating shaft 34 to rotate, the stirring shaft 22 is rotatably connected inside the cavity of the synthesis cylinder 20, the stirring shaft 22 is cylindrical, the stirring motor 21 can drive the stirring shaft 22 to rotate, the bottom of the stirring shaft 22 is fixedly connected to the stirring rod 23, and the stirring rod 23 can fit against the bottom wall of the synthesis cylinder 20;
[0032] In practical use, the raw materials are first added into the cavity of the synthesis cylinder 20 through the feed pipe at the top of the synthesis cylinder 20. Then, after all the raw materials, catalysts and dehydrating agents have been added, the power supply of the stirring motor 21, heating rod and servo motor 33 is turned on simultaneously. The heating rod can heat and synthesize the raw materials, catalysts and dehydrating agents in the cavity of the synthesis cylinder 20. When the power supply of the stirring motor 21 is turned on, it will drive the stirring shaft 22 to rotate. The stirring shaft 22 can drive the stirring rod 23 to rotate synchronously in the cavity of the synthesis cylinder 20 and stir the raw materials. When the power supply of the servo motor 33 is turned on, the servo motor 33 can drive the rotating shaft 34 to rotate. When the rotating shaft 34 rotates, it will drive the driving gear 35 to rotate synchronously. As the driving gear 35 rotates, the driving gear 35 can drive the synthesis cylinder 20 to swing around the connecting shaft 30 as the center through the threaded connection with the passive gear 42. After the synthesis cylinder 20 rotates 30 degrees, the servo motor 33 will drive the rotating shaft 34 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the synthesis cylinder 20 swings in the opposite direction again, and so on.
[0033] In summary, the swaying structure can improve the synthesis efficiency of polylactic acid. When polylactic acid is synthesized in the synthesis cylinder 20, the swaying structure, in conjunction with the stirring rod 23, agitates the synthesis cylinder 20, thereby ensuring that the raw materials, dehydrating agent, and catalyst in the synthesis cylinder 20 are fully fused and reacted, resulting in a more efficient synthesis.
[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the wall of the rotating shaft 34 is provided with a limiting structure, which includes an electrode plate 36 and a limiting plate 43. The electrode plate 36 is fixedly connected to the wall of the rotating shaft 34, and the limiting plate 43 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the upper and lower walls of the swing rail 41. The rotating shaft 34 is disc-shaped and located above the drive tooth 35. The limiting plate 43 is rectangular and its wall can fit against the wall of the swing rail 41.
[0035] In practical use, as the passive tooth 42 moves, the upper limiting plate 43 can abut against the top of the pole plate 36, and the lower limiting plate 43 can abut against the bottom of the rotating shaft 34 when it moves with the swing rail 41.
[0036] In summary, by setting a limiting structure, misalignment between the driving tooth 35 and the driven tooth 42 when the driving tooth 35 drives the driven tooth 42 can be prevented, thus effectively improving the working stability of the device.
[0037] Working principle: First, the raw materials are added into the cavity of the synthesis cylinder 20 through the feed pipe at the top of the cylinder 20. Then, after all the raw materials, catalyst, and dehydrating agent have been added, the power to the stirring motor 21, heating rod, and servo motor 33 is turned on simultaneously. The heating rod heats and synthesizes the raw materials, catalyst, and dehydrating agent in the cavity of the synthesis cylinder 20. When the power is turned on, the stirring motor 21 drives the stirring shaft 22 to rotate. The stirring shaft 22 drives the stirring rod 23 to rotate synchronously in the cavity of the synthesis cylinder 20, agitating the raw materials. When the power to the servo motor 33 is turned on, the servo motor 33... 3 can drive the rotating shaft 34 to rotate. When the rotating shaft 34 rotates, it will drive the driving gear 35 to rotate synchronously. As the driving gear 35 rotates, the driving gear 35 can drive the synthesis cylinder 20 to swing around the connecting shaft 30 through the threaded connection with the passive gear 42. After the synthesis cylinder 20 rotates 30 degrees, the servo motor 33 will drive the rotating shaft 34 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the synthesis cylinder 20 swings in the opposite direction again. This process is repeated. After the polylactic acid synthesis in the cavity of the synthesis cylinder 20 is completed, the solenoid valve at the bottom of the synthesis cylinder 20 can be opened to discharge the contents of the cavity of the synthesis cylinder 20.
