[0040] Example
[0041] The technical solution of this embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The thickness of the lines in the drawings is only for easy distinction and does not represent the thickness of pipes or other structures.
[0042] This embodiment provides a reaction apparatus, see [link / reference] Figures 1 to 3It includes a sample injection system 1, a reaction system 4, a discharge system 3, and a controller 5. The controller 5 is connected to the sample injection system 1, the reaction system 4, and the discharge system 3. The controller 5 is used to control the fluid injection volume and fluid injection flow rate of the sample injection system 1, the opening and closing status of the inlet and outlet of the reactor, and the discharge volume and discharge flow rate of the discharge system 3.
[0043] In this embodiment, the reaction system 4 includes at least one set of reactors, with two or more reactors in each set. Each reactor is provided with a solid feed inlet 41, a liquid inlet, an exhaust outlet 45, and a liquid outlet 46. The solid feed inlet 41 is used to receive solid materials transferred by the solid metering and transfer component, and the liquid inlet is connected to the liquid inlet path of the fluid injection component. The reactor's inlet and outlet are the solid feed inlet 41, liquid inlet, air inlet 44, exhaust outlet 45, and liquid outlet 46. The solid feed inlet 41 is located at the top of the reactor, while the liquid inlet, air inlet 44, exhaust outlet 45, and liquid outlet 46 are located on the side walls of the reactor.
[0044] The reaction apparatus provided in this embodiment, for a set of two reactors, can be divided into four stages of operation: packing material injection, gas extraction, reaction, and liquid extraction. One reactor performs the first three steps (packing material injection, gas extraction, and reaction), while the other reactor performs the liquid extraction step. The two reactors operate alternately, enabling the reaction apparatus to continuously produce the reaction product solution. This reaction product can be any product, such as a precursor in the quantum dot preparation process.
[0045] The reaction apparatus provided in this embodiment, for a group of three reactors, if the operation of the reactor is divided into four stages, namely packing sample injection, gas extraction, reaction, and liquid extraction, for two of the reactors, the packing sample injection, gas extraction, and reaction are carried out for half the time, while the other reactor carries out the liquid extraction step. The three are operated alternately so that the reaction apparatus can continuously produce the reaction product solution.
[0046] The reaction apparatus provided in this embodiment, in specific operation, preferably consists of four reactors in one group. Each reactor operates in four stages: packing material injection, gas extraction, reaction, and liquid extraction. The duration of each stage can be configured to be the same. The four reactors operate simultaneously, performing one of the four stages respectively, in a cyclical manner. Ideally, the reaction apparatus can continuously produce the reaction product solution. In other embodiments, the reactors are arranged in two groups of eight, three groups of twelve, four groups of sixteen, etc.
[0047] Of course, the reaction apparatus is equipped with a group of five or more reactors, which are set according to the actual steps, rationally planned and allocated, and ensured that at any given time point, at least one reactor is in the last step, so as to achieve the purpose of continuous production of reaction product solution.
[0048] In some embodiments, the reactor further includes a cover opening and closing assembly, with one cover opening and closing assembly corresponding to each reactor. For example, the cover opening and closing assembly includes a sealing cover 49, a sliding actuator 410, and a rotary actuator 411. The mounting end of the sliding actuator 410 is fixedly connected to the reactor, and the mounting end of the rotary actuator 411 is fixedly connected to the driving end of the sliding actuator 410. The sealing cover 49 is connected to the driving end of the rotary actuator 411. The sliding actuator 410 and the rotary actuator 411 are adapted to drive the sealing cover 49 to approach or move away from the solid feed inlet 41. When solid sample injection is required, the sliding actuator 410 and the rotary actuator 411 jointly drive the sealing cover 49 to open and avoid the solid feed inlet 41. When solid sample injection is completed, the sliding actuator 410 and the rotary actuator 411 jointly drive the sealing cover 49 to close the solid feed inlet 41.
[0049] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 As shown, the reaction system 4 also includes a stirring assembly, which is configured correspondingly to the reactor. The stirring assembly includes a stirring motor 47 and a stirrer 48. The stirring motor 47 is installed outside the reactor, and the stirrer 48 is driven by the driving side of the stirring motor 47 and extends into the reactor. The stirrer 48 mechanically stirs the fluid medium inside the reactor, thereby accelerating the mixing reaction rate.
[0050] In some embodiments, the stirrer 48 may be a magnetic stirrer.
[0051] In a specific implementation, the reactor is configured as a reaction vessel, which is heated by a heating device to increase the reaction temperature.
[0052] In this embodiment, the sample introduction system 1 includes a solid metering and transfer component and a fluid sample introduction component. The solid metering and transfer component is used to pick up, place and meter solid materials, and the fluid sample introduction component is used for the sample introduction of reaction liquids, solvents, etc.
[0053] For example, in some implementations of the solid metering and transfer assembly, the solid metering and transfer assembly includes a pickup 11, a weighing component 13, and a transfer mechanism 14. The pickup 11 is fixedly connected to the transfer end of the transfer mechanism 14. The weighing component 13 is used to carry the container 12 containing solid materials. The transfer mechanism 14 is adapted to drive the pickup 11 to transfer solid materials to the solid feed inlet 41. The pickup 11 can be switched between the container 12 and the solid feed inlet 41. The pickup 11 is connected to the controller 5, and the weighing component 13 is connected to the controller 5.
[0054] The transfer mechanism 14 drives the pickup 11 into the container 12 to grab solid material, and then the transfer mechanism 14 transfers the grabbed solid material to a single reactor. The single solid sample injection volume is calculated based on the difference in the readings monitored by the weighing device 13 before and after grabbing. The controller 5 controls the injection volume of other liquid reaction raw materials and liquid solvents that need to be added based on the solid sample injection volume. This utility model can automatically sample and measure solid materials. The transfer mechanism 14 automatically transfers the solid material to the reactor for injection, and the automatic operation is convenient. The transfer mechanism 14 is adapted to drive the pickup 11 to transfer solid material to the solid feed inlet to realize the sampling and injection of solid materials.
[0055] In some embodiments, the pickup element 11 includes a first pickup section, a second pickup section, and a moving drive (not shown in the figure). Each pickup section has a hollowed-out interior. The first or second pickup section is connected to the drive end of the moving drive, which is adapted to drive the first and second pickup sections to move closer together to clamp solid material or to move away to release solid material. During operation, the opening and closing of the pickup element 11 is controlled by the relatively fixed first pickup section and the sliding of the second pickup section. Preferably, the pickup element 11 is submerged in the solid material to maximize the capacity of the solid sample, thereby improving production efficiency. The moving drive can be configured as a moving cylinder or an electric cylinder.
[0056] During metering operations, the mass of the remaining solid material is accurately weighed using the weighing device 13 and compared with the mass before it was picked up by the picking device 11, thereby precisely calculating the amount of solid material to be added to the reactor in a single sampling. This allows for the precise calculation of the injection volume of other substances that need to be added, such as liquid reactants and solvent media.
[0057] In the above description, solid materials include powder materials, granular materials, etc.
[0058] In some embodiments, the transfer mechanism 14 is configured as a two-axis linear displacement module or a three-axis linear displacement module. For example, horizontal and vertical slide rails can be provided to control the pickup 11 to move up and down, left and right, and forward and backward.
[0059] In some embodiments, the fluid injection assembly includes a first liquid injection assembly and a second liquid injection assembly. A first liquid inlet 42 and a second liquid inlet 43 are spaced apart on the reactor. The output end of the first liquid injection assembly is connected to the first liquid inlet 42, and the output end of the second liquid injection assembly is connected to the second liquid inlet 43. Liquid reactants are introduced into the reactor through the first liquid injection assembly, and reaction solvents are introduced into the reactor through the second liquid injection assembly.
[0060] In a specific implementation, both the first inlet pump 16 and the second inlet pump 19 can be HPLC pumps, which provide precise liquid inlet and help ensure the proper ratio of reactants.
[0061] In some embodiments, the first liquid inlet assembly includes a first liquid reservoir 15, a first liquid inlet pump 16, and a first valve 17 connected in sequence. The first valve 17 is configured with a one-inlet, multiple-outlet structure. The inlet end of the first valve 17 is connected to the output end of the first liquid inlet pump 16, and each outlet end of the first valve 17 is connected to a corresponding first liquid inlet 42 of a group of reactors. The first liquid inlet pump 16 and the first valve 17 are respectively connected to a controller 5. Each outlet end of the first valve 17 can be connected to the first liquid inlet 42 of each reactor through an inlet pipe. The first liquid inlet pump 16 provides the liquid inlet driving force to inject the reaction liquid in the first liquid reservoir 15 into the reactor.
[0062] Taking a group of two reactors as an example, valve 17 is configured with a one-inlet, two-outlet structure. For example, valve 17 can be configured as a three-way valve, or it can be configured as three single valves. For a group of N reactors, valve 17 can be configured with a one-inlet, N-outlet structure, or it can be configured as a combined valve structure. When a group consists of four reactors, preferably, valve 17 is configured with a one-inlet, four-outlet structure; for example, it can be configured as a five-way valve.
[0063] In some embodiments, the second liquid inlet assembly includes a second liquid reservoir 18, a second liquid inlet pump 19, and a second valve 20 connected in sequence. The second valve 20 is configured with a one-inlet, multiple-outlet structure. The inlet end of the second valve 20 is connected to the output end of the second liquid inlet pump 19, and each outlet end of the second valve 20 is connected to a corresponding second liquid inlet 43 of a set of reactors. The second liquid inlet pump 19 and the second valve 20 are respectively connected to the controller 5. Each outlet end of the second valve 20 can be connected to the second liquid inlet 43 of each reactor through an inlet pipe. The second liquid inlet pump 19 provides the liquid inlet driving force to inject the solvent in the second liquid reservoir 18 into the reactor.
[0064] Taking a group of two reactors as an example, valve component 20 is configured with a one-inlet, two-outlet structure. For example, valve component 20 can be configured as a three-way valve, or it can be configured as three single valves. For a group of N reactors, valve component 20 can be configured with a one-inlet, N-outlet structure, or it can be configured as a combined valve structure. When a group consists of four reactors, preferably, valve component 20 is configured with a one-inlet, four-outlet structure; for example, it can be configured as a five-way valve.
[0065] In some embodiments, the distance between the first liquid inlet 42 and the second liquid inlet 43 and the solid feed inlet 41 is set to be in the range of one-tenth to one-fifth of the height of the reactor cavity.
[0066] In some embodiments, the reaction apparatus further includes a protective gas inlet assembly. The reactor is provided with an inlet 44, and the output end of the protective gas inlet assembly is connected to the inlet 44. The protective gas inlet assembly includes a protective gas source 21, a flow controller 22, and a third valve 23 connected in sequence. The third valve 23 is configured with a one-inlet, multiple-outlet structure. The inlet end of the third valve 23 is connected to the output end of the flow controller 22, and each outlet end of the third valve 23 is connected to a corresponding inlet 44 of a group of reactors. The flow controller 22 and the third valve 23 are respectively connected to a controller 5. Each outlet end of the third valve 23 can be connected to the inlet 44 of each reactor via an inlet pipe. The protective gas source 21 can be configured as a compressed gas source, automatically filling the reactor when the inlet 44 is open, thereby improving the protective environment for the reaction.
[0067] The reaction apparatus introduces high-purity protective gas into each reactor through a protective gas inlet assembly, which plays a protective role and prevents the reactants from being oxidized. This ensures that the quantum dot reaction products are isolated from water vapor and oxygen throughout the process. Specifically, compressed protective gas is provided by protective gas source 21, flow controller 22 regulates the flow rate of the protective gas, and valve 23 controls the connection between flow controller 22 and each reactor. In this way, liquid medium can be introduced quickly, and the protective gas provides a protective environment for the reaction, which is beneficial to improving the production efficiency and quality of the reaction product preparation.

[0069] In some embodiments, the exhaust assembly includes a vacuum pump 31 and a fourth valve 32. The fourth valve 32 is configured with a multi-inlet, one-outlet structure. Each inlet end of the fourth valve 32 is connected to a corresponding exhaust port 45 of a group of reactors, and the outlet end of the fourth valve 32 is connected to the input end of the vacuum pump 31. The vacuum pump 31 and the fourth valve 32 are both connected to the controller 5. The vacuum pump 31 removes oxygen, water vapor, and other interfering sources from the reactor cavity, allowing the protective gas to flow smoothly into the reactor, creating a protective environment for the reaction medium and accelerating the working efficiency. Each inlet end of the fourth valve 32 is connected to a group of multiple reactors, and one outlet end is connected to the vacuum pump 31.

[0074] The reaction apparatus provided by this invention uses a solid metering and transfer component to meter and transfer solid materials, which are then fed into the reactor through a solid feed inlet 41. A fluid sampler component introduces solvent and reaction liquid into the reactor through a liquid inlet. Protective gas is introduced into the reactor through an air inlet 44, and gases interfering with the reaction are discharged from the reactor through an exhaust port 45 of the exhaust component in the exhaust system 3. In specific operation, after the solid and liquid materials are fed, the following operations are performed sequentially in each reactor: gas extraction, reaction, and liquid extraction. After the reaction product preparation is completed, the discharge component discharges the prepared reaction product solution from the reactor through a liquid outlet 46. Ideally, multiple reactors alternately perform the above steps, sequentially extracting reaction products, resulting in a continuous flow of reaction products and meeting the requirements for continuous production. This invention effectively considers the consistency of reaction products and rationally plans and sets the production path for reaction products, enabling continuous production of reaction products with a high degree of automation. This method can free up manpower and improve production efficiency.

A stirring assembly is also provided on the top of the reactor. The reaction apparatus is provided with a total of 5 valves, of which 3 are used for one inlet and multiple outlets, and the other 2 are used for multiple inlets and one outlet. The inlets of the first 3 valves are respectively introduced into reactants, solvents, and high-purity protective gas, and the latter 2 are respectively connected to a vacuum pump 31 and a discharge pump 33 for extracting reaction products. The four ports of the 5 valves are all connected to four independently configured reactors.

The reaction apparatus can automatically inject solid samples, automatically calculate the required liquid volume, automatically inject liquid, automatically extract gas, automatically fill gas, and automatically drain liquid according to a preset program, and work in a cycle.
