Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of ursodeoxycholic acid production equipment, and in particular to a temperature control device for continuous production of ursodeoxycholic acid. Background Technology
[0002] In the continuous production of ursodeoxycholic acid, stable and precise temperature control is a key factor in ensuring product quality and production efficiency. As an important pharmaceutical raw material, ursodeoxycholic acid's production process is extremely sensitive to temperature; temperature fluctuations can lead to decreased product purity, reduced production efficiency, and even safety issues. Therefore, developing an efficient, reliable, and flexibly adjustable temperature control device is crucial for the continuous production of ursodeoxycholic acid.
[0003] Currently, traditional temperature control devices for ursodeoxycholic acid production typically employ a relatively simple structure. Heating elements are usually fixed directly to the bottom or side of the reactor, and the temperature inside the reactor is increased through electric heaters or steam heating. The cooling system generally relies on a jacket installed outside the reactor, circulating coolant to achieve cooling. The technical principle of this simple temperature control device is primarily based on the fundamental principle of heat transfer, utilizing the heat generated by the heating elements or the heat absorbed by the coolant to change the temperature of the materials inside the reactor.
[0004] However, traditional temperature control devices of this type have a problem. Because the heating element is in constant contact with the environment of the reactants, impurities and byproducts of the chemical reaction easily adhere to the surface of the heating element during production, gradually forming scale. Over time, this scale accumulates, severely affecting the thermal conductivity of the heating element. The decreased thermal conductivity reduces heating efficiency, making it difficult for the temperature inside the reactor to reach the set value quickly, and also results in uneven temperature distribution, thus affecting the production quality and efficiency of ursodeoxycholic acid. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of temperature control device that can solve the problem of scale buildup on the heating element surface affecting thermal conductivity. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a temperature control device for the continuous production of ursodeoxycholic acid, which aims to improve the problem that existing devices are difficult to thoroughly clean the inside of the reactor and the surface of the heat pipe, and the residual material will affect the temperature control effect.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a temperature control device for continuous production of ursodeoxycholic acid, comprising a shell, a threaded cylinder I connected to the inner wall of the shell, a fixed seat fixedly connected to the lower surface of the threaded cylinder, a battery fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed seat, a connecting plate fixedly connected to the upper surface of the battery, a threaded cylinder II fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting plate, and a quick-release assembly provided on the inner wall of the connecting plate.
[0007] The quick-release assembly includes a heating element, the outer wall of which is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting plate. A fixing post is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the heating element, and a telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing post. A spring is sleeved on one side of the outer wall of the telescopic rod, and a button is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the spring. A limit groove is formed inside the fixing post.
[0008] Furthermore, the outer wall of the threaded cylinder is threadedly connected to a reaction vessel, and a heat sink is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the reaction vessel, with heat dissipation holes inside the heat sink.
[0009] Furthermore, a connecting groove is provided inside the connecting plate, which is used to limit the movement of the heating element.
[0010] Furthermore, the upper surface of the mounting base is attached to the lower surface of the outer casing, and the outer casing serves to protect its internal components.
[0011] Furthermore, the upper surface of the telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the button, and the telescopic rod is used to guide the movement of the spring.
[0012] Furthermore, the outer wall of the button is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove, and the button is used to fix the heating element.
[0013] Furthermore, the outer wall of the spring is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove, and the spring is used to push the button to move.
[0014] Furthermore, the upper surface of the battery is slidably connected to the lower surface of the heating element, which is used to provide heat.
[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] In this invention, pressing the button causes it to overcome the spring's thrust and slide down the inner wall of the limiting groove. Simultaneously, the telescopic rod retracts. When the button is completely disengaged from the limiting state, rotating the heating element in the connecting groove to a designated position allows it to be pulled out of the connecting plate along the groove. The heating element is designed to be detachable, making it easy to remove from the device for cleaning. Thorough cleaning of its exterior prevents scale buildup on the heating element from affecting heat conduction.
[0017] In this invention, when the reactor generates heat, heat dissipation fins and heat dissipation holes are installed on the outer wall of the reactor to dissipate the heat. If the temperature inside the reactor is too high, multiple sets of heat dissipation holes are opened inside the heat dissipation fins to accelerate the heat dissipation and ensure that the reaction proceeds in a suitable temperature environment.

[0027] The quick-release assembly includes a heating element 8, which provides heat. The outer wall of the heating element 8 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting plate 10. A fixing post 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the heating element 8, providing an installation position for other internal components. A telescopic rod 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing post 11, guiding the movement of the spring 13. The spring 13 is sleeved on one side of the outer wall of the telescopic rod 12, providing elastic force to the button 14. The button 14 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the spring 13. A limiting groove 15 is formed inside the fixing post 11, which limits the movement of the button 14. The connecting plate 10 has a connecting groove 9 inside, which is used to limit the movement of the heating element 8. The upper surface of the fixing seat 2 is attached to the lower surface of the outer shell 1, which protects its internal components. The upper surface of the telescopic rod 12 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the button 14, and the telescopic rod 12 is used to guide the movement of the spring 13. The outer wall of the button 14 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 15, and the button 14 is used to fix the heating element 8. The outer wall of the spring 13 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 15, and the spring 13 is used to push the button 14 to move. The upper surface of the battery 4 is slidably connected to the lower surface of the heating element 8, and the heating element 8 is used to provide heat.
[0028] Specifically, the inner wall of the outer shell 1 is threaded with a threaded cylinder 3. This threaded connection not only facilitates installation and disassembly but also provides a stable connection structure, ensuring the stability of subsequent component installation. A mounting base 2 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the threaded cylinder 3, providing a solid support foundation for the entire temperature control device and ensuring that the device will not shake or shift during operation. A battery 4 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting base 2, providing continuous and stable power to the device. A connecting plate 10 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the battery 4, serving as a connection and transition. A threaded cylinder 16 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting plate 10, primarily used for threaded connection with the reaction vessel 5. This connection method allows for… The position of the reactor 5 can be easily adjusted to meet different production needs. A quick-release assembly is provided on the inner wall of the connecting plate 10, including a heating element 8. The heating element 8 is the core heating component of the temperature control device. When powered by the battery 4, it can quickly convert electrical energy into heat energy, providing the necessary temperature conditions for the continuous production of ursodeoxycholic acid. The outer wall of the heating element 8 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting plate 10. This sliding connection method makes the installation and disassembly of the heating element 8 smoother, while also ensuring good contact between it and the connecting plate 10, which is beneficial for the transmission of electrical energy and heat. A fixing column 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the heating element 8. The fixing column 11 provides a foundation for the installation and support of other components in the quick-release assembly. A telescopic rod 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall, providing necessary space and guidance for the movement of the button 14. A spring 13 is sleeved on one side of the outer wall of the telescopic rod 12, which pushes the button 14 to move, ensuring that the button 14 can fix and release the heating element 8 in the appropriate position. The button 14 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the spring 13. By pressing the button 14, the elastic force of the spring 13 can be overcome, causing the button 14 to disengage from the fixed state of the heating element 8, thereby achieving quick disassembly of the heating element 8. After releasing the button 14, the elastic force of the spring 13 will reset the button 14 and re-fix the heating element 8. A limit groove 15 is formed inside the fixing post 11, which provides a precise limiting function for the movement of the button 14. The device 10 has an internal connecting groove 9, which limits the movement of the heating element 8. The shape and size of the connecting groove 9 are adapted to the heating element 8, ensuring that the heating element 8 moves along a specific path during installation and disassembly, avoiding jamming or misalignment, and further improving the ease of operation and stability of the device. The upper surface of the fixing base 2 is attached to the lower surface of the outer shell 1, and the upper surface of the telescopic rod 12 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the button 14. The telescopic rod 12 is used to guide the movement of the spring 13. The outer wall of the button 14 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 15. The button 14 is used to fix the heating element 8. This sliding connection method allows the button 14 to move flexibly within the limiting groove 15, while the limiting groove 15 effectively limits the range of motion of the button 14.To ensure that button 14 reliably secures the heating element 8, the outer wall of spring 13 is slidably connected to the inner wall of limiting groove 15. Spring 13 is used to push button 14 to move, and limiting groove 15 provides a stable environment for the movement of spring 13, ensuring that spring 13 can properly exert its elastic function. Pushing button 14 realizes the fixing and releasing operation of heating element 8. The upper surface of battery 4 is slidably connected to the lower surface of heating element 8. Heating element 8 is used to provide heat. This sliding connection method ensures good electrical contact between battery 4 and heating element 8, allowing battery 4 to smoothly transfer electrical energy to heating element 8, thereby enabling heating element 8 to continuously and stably provide heat to meet the temperature requirements in the continuous production process of ursodeoxycholic acid.
[0029] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The outer wall of the threaded cylinder 16 is threadedly connected to the reactor 5, which is used to provide the reaction site for raw materials. The outer wall of the reactor 5 is fixedly connected to the heat sink 6, which is used to dissipate heat. The heat sink 6 has heat dissipation holes 7 inside, which are used to accelerate heat dissipation.
[0030] Specifically, the outer wall of the threaded cylinder 16 is threadedly connected to the reactor 5. This threaded connection provides an adjustable and stable connection structure. On one hand, operators can precisely adjust the height of the reactor 5 by rotating it along the threads of the threaded cylinder 16, adapting it to different processes and operating scenarios, according to actual production needs. On the other hand, this connection method offers good fastening, ensuring the reactor 5 remains stable during the operation of the temperature control device, preventing disruption to the continuous production of ursodeoxycholic acid due to shaking or displacement. A heat sink 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the reactor 5. The heat sink 6 is typically made of a highly thermally conductive metal, such as copper or aluminum, and its main function is to increase the heat dissipation area of the reactor 5 and improve heat dissipation. In the continuous production process of ursodeoxycholic acid, various chemical reactions occur inside the reactor 5, which often generate a large amount of heat. If heat cannot be dissipated in a timely and effective manner, the excessively high temperature may affect the reaction process or even damage the internal components of the reactor 5. The heat sink 6 can quickly conduct the heat on the surface of the reactor 5 to the surrounding environment, thereby effectively reducing the temperature of the reactor 5 and ensuring the stability and safety of the production process. The heat sink 6 has heat dissipation holes 7 inside, which further enhances the heat dissipation effect of the heat sink 6. When air flows through the heat sink 6, the heat dissipation holes 7 can cause air convection, accelerating the dissipation of heat. In addition, the heat dissipation holes 7 can also reduce the weight of the heat sink 6, reduce material costs, and also facilitate the processing and manufacturing of the heat sink 6.
[0031] Working Principle: During continuous production of ursodeoxycholic acid, a temperature control device is typically required. Turning on the power switch of battery 4 supplies power to heating element 8, which then generates heat to provide the necessary energy for ursodeoxycholic acid production. Simultaneously, the reaction vessel 5 generates heat during production. Heat dissipation fins 6 and ventilation holes 7 are installed on the outer wall of reaction vessel 5 to dissipate this heat. If the temperature inside reaction vessel 5 becomes too high, the distance between reaction vessel 5 and heating element 8 can be increased. The heat dissipation fins 6 and ventilation holes 7 will continue to operate, further accelerating heat dissipation. This ensures that the reaction takes place in a suitable temperature environment. When the heating element 8 needs maintenance or replacement, the outer shell 1 is rotated to remove it from the outer wall of the threaded cylinder 13. The reactor 5 is then rotated to remove it from the outer wall of the threaded cylinder 16. Pressing button 14 overcomes the thrust of spring 13 and slides down the inner wall of the limiting groove 15. At the same time, the telescopic rod 12 retracts. When button 14 is completely disengaged from the limiting state, the heating element 8 is pulled out from the connecting plate 10 along the connecting groove 9.
