Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of acylation reaction equipment, specifically relating to an acylation reactor for the production of acetaminophen. Background Technology
[0002] Acylation is a very important type of reaction in organic chemistry. It is the process of introducing an acyl group onto carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur atoms in organic compound molecules to change the physicochemical properties of the molecules. Acylation reactors are chemical reaction equipment widely used in organic synthesis, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and food processing.
[0003] Chinese Patent Application No. CN202022203706.1 discloses an adjustable acylation reactor, comprising a platform, a cylinder body on the surface of the platform, a first bearing fixedly mounted at the top of the cylinder body, a rotating rod fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the first bearing, a first rotating wheel fixedly mounted at the top of the rotating rod, a first pipe fixedly mounted on the surface of the first rotating wheel, a volumetric flask fixedly mounted at the top of the first pipe, the volumetric flask having graduations on its surface, the bottom end of the first pipe penetrating the interior of the rotating rod, a second pipe fixedly mounted on the surface of the rotating rod, one end of the second pipe penetrating the inner wall of the first pipe, a spray head fixedly mounted on the surface of the second pipe, and a bracket fixedly connected to the surface of the platform. By incorporating a motor, track, gears, and racks, the rotating rod and cylinder body are driven to rotate relative to each other, facilitating the uniform mixing of the acylation reaction materials and ensuring a complete acylation reaction. However, the cylinder in the above device needs to rotate, which leads to unstable operation and high energy consumption. In addition, the reaction liquid in the vessel cannot be transported up and down for mixing, affecting the stirring efficiency. Furthermore, the stirring rod installed on the inner wall of the cylinder, although improving the stirring effect, also makes the equipment difficult to clean and is not conducive to subsequent maintenance.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0006] An acylation reactor for acetaminophen production includes an acylation reactor and a top cover. The top cover is equipped with a feeding device and a driving device. A first stirring device is rotatably connected to the center of the top cover. The first stirring device includes a main shaft, which is driven by the driving device.

Spiral blades are fixedly connected between the outer ends of the upper fixed frames located on both sides of the main shaft and the lower ends of the vertical rods. The spiral blades are located on both sides of the main shaft.
[0007] As a further provision of the above scheme, the acylation kettle includes an acylation kettle tank body, a toothed ring is provided at the upper end of the inner wall of the acylation kettle tank body, a lower conical tank is connected to the lower end of the acylation kettle tank body, and a discharge device is provided at the lower end of the lower conical tank.
[0008] As a further provision of the above scheme, the second stirring device includes a rotating sleeve rod, which is rotatably connected to the main shaft. A first pulley is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating sleeve rod. The rotating sleeve rod is provided with stirring blades arranged linearly in the upper and lower parts, and the stirring blades are staggered in the upper and lower parts.
[0009] As a further provision of the above scheme, the stirring blade device includes a mounting sleeve, which is fixed on a rotating sleeve rod. Symmetrically arranged connecting rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting sleeve, and stirring blades are fixedly connected to the outer ends of the connecting rods.
[0010] As a further provision of the above scheme, the drive gear device includes a drive gear, which is rotatably connected to the main shaft and axially positioned. The drive gear is meshed with a gear ring, and a second pulley is provided on the lower end face of the drive gear. The second pulley is connected to the first pulley through a transmission belt.
[0011] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

The vertical rod and lower V-shaped rod on the first stirring device stir the reaction liquid near the inner wall of the acylation kettle. The spiral blades transport the reaction liquid up and down, improving the stirring effect. When the first stirring device rotates, the drive gear device rotates on the vertical rod under the action of the gear ring, and drives the second stirring device to rotate through the transmission belt. The second stirring device rotates at a different speed than the first stirring device, further improving the stirring effect and increasing the acylation efficiency. Moreover, the structure is simple and reliable, which is conducive to the stable operation of the equipment. Attached Figure Description
