[0037] The stirrer 6 is arranged in the feed cavity 4 and the mixing cavity 2 and is used for stirring the reaction materials in the feed cavity 4 and the mixing cavity 2.

[0038] Referring to Figure 2 The heat exchanger 1 is a shell-and-tube heat exchanger, or a coiled tube heat exchanger can also be used. The tube side of the plurality of heat exchangers 1 is communicated with the corresponding feed cavity 4, mixing cavity 2, connecting elbow 3 and discharge cavity 5, which is used for transporting reaction materials. The shell side of the heat exchanger 1 is provided with a heat medium inlet 101 and a heat medium outlet 102, which is used for introducing heat medium to cool the reaction materials in the tube side.

[0039] Referring to Figure 3 The end of the feed cavity 4 away from the heat exchanger 1 is closed by the cover plate 7, and at least one feed port 8 and at least one instrument interface 9 are arranged on the feed cavity 4. The feed port 8 is preferably provided with at least two, which is used for introducing different reaction materials, and the instrument interface 9 is used for connecting temperature sensor and / or pressure sensor to monitor reaction temperature and reaction pressure and the like parameters.

[0040] Referring to Figure 4The connecting elbow 3 is arranged at the middle upper part of the mixing cavity 2, and the end of the mixing cavity 2 away from the heat exchanger 1 is closed by a cover plate 7. In addition, in order to facilitate the connection between the mixing cavity 2 and the connecting elbow 3, an upper connecting pipe is arranged at the middle upper part of the mixing cavity 2, and the lower end of the connecting elbow 3 is fixedly connected with the upper connecting pipe of the middle upper part of the mixing cavity 2, which can be fixedly connected by flanges.

[0041] At least one feeding port 8 for segmented reaction feeding is arranged on the mixing cavity 2, and at least one feeding port 8 for standby of segmented reaction feeding and / or an instrument interface 9 for connecting a temperature sensor and / or a pressure sensor to monitor the reaction temperature and the reaction pressure and the like is arranged on the connecting elbow 3.

[0042] Referring to Figure 5 The stirrer 6 includes a stirring shaft 601 and stirring blades 602 fixed on the stirring shaft 601.

[0043] In addition, the stirring shaft 601 of the stirrer 6 is further connected with a driving motor for driving the stirring shaft to rotate. Specifically, each stirrer can be driven by a driving motor independently, or the stirrers on the same side are driven by one driving motor.

[0044] For the mode that a plurality of stirrers are driven to rotate by one driving motor, it can be realized by using the prior art, and thus the embodiment will not be described in detail.

[0045] The working process of the continuous dynamic micro-reactor provided by the embodiment is as follows:

[0046] Firstly, different reaction materials enter the reactor from the feed port of the feed chamber, and the reaction materials are mixed and dispersed by the stirrer in the feed chamber for sufficient mixing and mass transfer, the preliminarily mixed reaction materials enter the tube side of the first-stage heat exchanger at the lowermost end, and at the same time, the heat exchange medium is introduced into the shell side of the heat exchanger, and the heat generated by the reaction of the reaction materials is taken away by the heat exchange through the interwall; then the mixed reaction materials enter the mixing chamber at the other end of the first-stage heat exchanger, and the stirrer in the mixing chamber mixes and disperses the reaction materials again, and then enters the second-stage heat exchanger through the connecting elbow, and is subjected to secondary heat exchange, and the above steps are repeated to gradually mix and gradually heat, until the reaction materials meet the discharge requirements, and then the reaction materials flow out from the discharge chamber. In the above reaction process, if different reaction materials need to be added in stages, after several different reaction materials are introduced into the feed chamber, other reaction materials are added from the feed port of the mixing chamber or the connecting elbow according to the reaction requirements, so that the reaction is realized in stages, that is, different reactions are realized in the same reactor. Moreover, during the working process, the reaction materials flow smoothly along the main flow direction to realize plug flow with little back mixing.

[0047] In addition, in the above working process, temperature sensors, pressure sensors and the like can be connected through instrument interfaces to monitor the reaction parameters, the types, flow rates or temperatures of the heat exchange medium introduced into the heat exchanger are controlled according to the reaction requirements, so that the tube side temperature of each stage of the heat exchanger is controlled, precise temperature control is realized, reactions under different temperature conditions are realized in one reactor, and whether the discharge temperature and the like meet the requirements is judged to control the product quality.

[0050] The continuous dynamic microreactor provided in the embodiment has the problem that the residence time of the reaction materials in the reactor is not uniform at the initial stage of the reaction, that is, there is back mixing, but when the tube side of each stage of the heat exchanger is completely filled with the reaction materials and runs smoothly, the reaction materials flow smoothly along the main flow direction to realize plug flow with little back mixing.

[0051] It should be noted that the parts not described in the utility model can be realized by using or referring to the existing technology.
