Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of methyl acetoacetate preparation technology, and in particular to a continuous flow synthesis reactor for methyl acetoacetate. Background Technology
[0002] Methyl acetoacetate is a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor and is readily soluble in water. Its main uses are as an intermediate in the pharmaceutical industry, pesticides, and herbicides. Currently, reaction vessels are used to mix and prepare methyl acetoacetate. However, most reaction equipment lacks cleaning devices, and it is difficult for personnel to clean the interior of the reaction vessel. This results in residual raw materials remaining inside the reaction vessel affecting subsequent mixing and preparation of methyl acetoacetate, thus reducing the quality of the prepared methyl acetoacetate.
[0003] A Chinese patent (authorization announcement number CN220759244U) discloses a continuous flow synthesis reactor for methyl acetoacetate, which "includes a reactor body and a pressure relief assembly interconnected to one side of the top of the reactor body. The pressure relief assembly includes a pressure relief pipe, an exhaust channel, an exhaust pipe, and a float. The exhaust channel is opened at the bottom of the inside of the pressure relief pipe, and the exhaust pipe is fixedly connected inside the pressure relief pipe."
[0004] It is evident that the cited patent document has the problem that some residue remaining in the reactor can affect the next mixing and preparation. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a continuous flow synthesis reactor for methyl acetoacetate to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a continuous flow synthesis reactor for methyl acetoacetate, comprising a reactor body, two electric push rods symmetrically mounted on the top surface of the reactor body, the output ends of the two electric push rods penetrating into the inner cavity of the reactor body and connected to a hollow block, a plurality of nozzles for spraying water to clean methyl acetoacetate are equidistantly mounted on the periphery of the hollow block, an annular block is slidably provided on the periphery of the hollow block, and a brush for cleaning methyl acetoacetate is adhered to the periphery of the annular block, a drive motor is mounted on the bottom surface of the reactor body, the output end of the drive motor penetrates the reactor body and is connected to a rotating plate, two rhomboid blocks are symmetrically welded on the top surface of the rotating plate, and rhomboid grooves for the rhomboid blocks to pass through are symmetrically opened on the top surface of the annular block.
[0007] Preferably, the top surface of the hollow block is symmetrically connected to a connecting pipe, and the free ends of both connecting pipes extend to the outside of the reactor body and are connected to a water supply device.
[0008] Preferably, a limiting groove is formed on the periphery of the hollow block, and a limiting block is welded to the inner wall of the annular block.

[0024] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid confusion with the present invention.
[0025] Unless otherwise defined, the directions mentioned herein, such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, and outside, are based on the directions shown in the figures of this utility model, and are explained here together.
[0026] The connection method can be any existing method, such as bonding, welding, or bolting, depending on the actual needs.
[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 The continuous flow synthesis reactor for methyl acetoacetate shown includes a reactor body 1. The reactor body 1 has a feed inlet on its periphery and a discharge outlet on its bottom surface. The methyl acetoacetate raw materials (such as diketene and methanol) to be prepared can be fed into the reactor body 1 through the feed inlet. After preparation, the raw materials will be discharged from the reactor body 1 through the discharge outlet.
[0028] Two electric push rods 2 are symmetrically installed on the top surface of the reactor body 1. The output ends of the two electric push rods 2 penetrate into the inner cavity of the reactor body 1 and are connected to a hollow block 3. Several nozzles 4 for spraying water to clean methyl acetoacetate are equidistantly installed on the periphery of the hollow block 3. The top surface of the hollow block 3 is symmetrically connected to a connecting pipe 11. The free ends of the two connecting pipes 11 penetrate into the outer side of the reactor body 1 and are connected to a water supply device. By turning on the two electric push rods 2, the hollow block 3 can be driven to move longitudinally back and forth in the inner cavity of the reactor body 1. At this time, water is delivered to the connecting pipe 11 through the external water supply device, and then the water is delivered to the hollow block 3 through the connecting pipe 11 and dispersed to the multiple nozzles 4 for spraying, so that the sprayed water can clean the inner wall of the reactor body 1.
[0029] A ring block 5 is slidably provided on the periphery of the hollow block 3. A brush 6 for cleaning methyl acetoacetate is adhered to the periphery of the ring block 5. The brush 6 is attached to the inner wall of the reactor body 1. When the hollow block 3 moves longitudinally back and forth, it will drive the ring block 5 to move longitudinally back and forth simultaneously, so that the brush 6 can clean the inner wall of the reactor body 1. In conjunction with the water spray from the nozzle 4, the cleaning effect of the reactor body 1 can be improved, and the residue left behind can be prevented from affecting the preparation of methyl acetoacetate in the next batch, thereby improving the quality of methyl acetoacetate preparation.
[0030] A limiting groove 12 is provided on the periphery of the hollow block 3. The lower half of the hollow block 3 is solid, so the limiting groove 12 is located on the periphery of the solid area. A limiting block 13 is welded to the inner wall of the annular block 5. The limiting block 13 is slidably located on the periphery of the limiting groove 12. Both the limiting block 12 and the limiting groove 13 are T-shaped. The setting of the limiting groove 12 and the limiting block 13 can ensure that the annular block 5 can always be located on the periphery of the hollow block 3, so that the annular block 5 can follow the hollow block 3 to perform longitudinal reciprocating motion and can also rotate.
[0031] A drive motor 7 is installed on the bottom surface of the reactor body 1. The output end of the drive motor 7 passes through the reactor body 1 and is connected to a rotating plate 8. Two rhomboid blocks 9 are symmetrically welded to the top surface of the rotating plate 8. The top surface of the annular block 5 is symmetrically provided with rhomboid grooves 10 for the rhomboid blocks 9 to pass through. When the hollow block 3 drives the annular block 5 to perform longitudinal reciprocating motion, the drive motor 7 is turned on, which drives the rotating plate 8 to rotate, thereby driving the two rhomboid blocks 9 to rotate. Since the two rhomboid blocks 9 pass through the two rhomboid grooves 10 respectively, when the annular block 5 performs longitudinal reciprocating motion, the two rhomboid grooves 10 will perform longitudinal reciprocating motion on the periphery of the two rhomboid blocks 9 respectively. Thus, when the two rhomboid blocks 9 rotate, they will drive the annular block 5 to rotate through the two rhomboid grooves 10, thereby allowing the annular block 5 to rotate on the periphery of the hollow block 3, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the brush 6 on the inner wall of the reactor body 1.
[0032] An annular plate 14 is installed on the inner wall of the reactor body 1. A groove 15 is opened on the inner wall of the annular plate 14. A slider 16 is welded to the top of each of the two rhomboid blocks 9. The two sliders 16 are slidably adapted to the groove 15. When the rotating plate 8 drives the two rhomboid blocks 9 to perform circular motion, the two rhomboid blocks 9 will drive the two sliders 16 to perform circular motion in the inner cavity of the groove 15, so that the annular plate 14, the groove 15 and the sliders 16 support the position of the rhomboid blocks 9 and prevent the rhomboid blocks 9 from bending.
[0033] A rotary motor 17 is installed on the top surface of the reactor body 1. The output end of the rotary motor 17 passes through the reactor body 1 and is connected to a rotating rod 18. Several mixing rods 19 for continuous flow synthesis of methyl acetoacetate are installed at equal intervals around the rotating rod 18. By turning on the rotary motor 17, the rotating rod 18 can be driven to rotate, thereby driving the multiple mixing rods 19 to rotate, thereby mixing and configuring the raw materials of methyl acetoacetate.
[0034] Working principle:
[0035] In this continuous flow synthesis reactor for methyl acetoacetate, the required amount of methyl acetoacetate is fed into the reactor body 1 through the feed inlet. The rotary motor 17 is then turned on, which drives multiple mixing rods 19 to rotate via the rotating rod 18, thereby mixing the methyl acetoacetate raw materials. After mixing, the mixture is discharged from the reactor body 1 through the discharge outlet. If there are residual raw material residues on the inner wall of the reactor body 1, the electric push rod 2 is activated, causing the hollow block 3 to reciprocate longitudinally. At this time, water is supplied to the hollow block 3 through the connecting pipe 11 via an external water supply device. The water is dispersed and sprayed from multiple nozzles 4, allowing the sprayed water to clean the inner wall of the reactor body 1. At the same time, the drive motor 7 is turned on, which drives the two rhomboid blocks 9 to rotate through the rotating plate 8. The two rhomboid blocks 9 drive the annular block 5 to rotate through the two rhomboid grooves 10, which in turn drives the brush 6 to rotate. The brush 6 can clean the inner wall of the reactor body 1. Combined with the water spray from the nozzles 4, the cleaning effect of the reactor body 1 can be improved, and the residue left behind can be prevented from affecting the preparation of methyl acetoacetate in the next batch, thus improving the quality of the methyl acetoacetate preparation.
