Screen 8, a three-way pipe 22 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the reactor 1, which facilitates the transportation of water and nitrogen. A nozzle 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the three-way pipe 22, which is used to spray water and nitrogen from the nozzle 17 to clean and dry the interior. A nitrogen generator 19 is set at the rear left side of the reactor 1, which is a device for producing nitrogen. A water tank 21 is set at the rear of the nitrogen generator 19, which is a container for storing water. A water inlet pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the top right side of the cooling jacket 5, which is used to introduce cooling water into the cooling jacket 5. A cooling box 11 is set on the right side of the reactor 1, which is a container for storing cooling water. A water outlet pipe 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom right side of the cooling jacket 5, which is used to return the heat-absorbing cooling water to the cooling box 11. The water outlet pipe 14 is fixedly connected to the cooling box 11.

[0026] Temperature sensors 9 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the reactor 1 and the middle of the outlet pipe 14 to detect the temperature of the cooling water inside the reactor 1 and the outlet pipe 14. Solenoid valves 6 are installed on the middle right side of the three-way pipe 22 and at one end of the outlet pipe 14 to control the opening and closing of the three-way pipe 22 and the outlet pipe 14. A water pump 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the water tank 21 to pump water out of the tank. A water pipe 16 is fixedly connected to the outlet of the water pump 20 to transport the water pumped out to the nozzle 17. The water pipe 16 is fixedly connected to the three-way pipe 22. A gas pipe 18 is fixedly connected to the outlet of the nitrogen generator 19 to transport nitrogen from the nitrogen generator 19. The air pipe 18 leads to the nozzle 17. The air pipe 18 is fixedly connected to the three-way pipe 22. A nitrogen solenoid valve 15 is installed at one end of the air pipe 18 to control the opening and closing of the air pipe 18. Support feet 7 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the reactor 1 to support the support feet 7 of the top reactor 1. A cooling fan 10 is fixedly connected to the middle of the right side of the cooling box 11 to dissipate the heat of the cooling water inside the cooling box 11. A circulating water pump 13 is fixedly connected to the rear of the cooling box 11 to draw out the cooling water inside the cooling box 11 and deliver it to the circulating water pump 13 inside the cooling jacket 5 through the water inlet pipe 12. The circulating water pump 13 is fixedly connected to the water inlet pipe 12.

[0027] Working Principle: First, triethylene glycol is introduced into reactor 1 through the inlet 2 at the top. Then, heating tube 3 is turned on to heat the triethylene glycol and initiate the reaction. The internal temperature is monitored by temperature sensor 9 on the inner wall of reactor 1 and fed back to display screen 8 for observation. This process ensures the triethylene glycol is heated to the optimal temperature to increase the reaction rate. When the temperature detected by temperature sensor 9 exceeds a predetermined value, a warning is issued to display screen 8. Display screen 8 then activates circulating water pump 13, which draws cooling water from cooling tank 11 and delivers it to cooling jacket 5 through inlet pipe 12. This absorbs heat from the surface of reactor 1, causing the cooling water temperature to rise rapidly. Temperature sensor 9 on outlet pipe 14 monitors the cooling water temperature, and when a certain temperature is detected, it is fed back to display screen 8. Screen 8 controls the solenoid valve 6 to open, allowing the cooling water inside the cooling jacket 5 to flow back into the cooling tank 11 through the outlet pipe 14. The temperature sensor 9 closes if it does not detect an excessively high temperature. The cooling fan 10 of the cooling tank 11 then cools the inside of the cooling tank 11, effectively dissipating heat. The triethylene glycol that has completed the reaction flows out through the pump body controlled by the liquid outlet 4 at the bottom of the reactor 1. To clean it, the solenoid valve 6 on the water pump 20 and the three-way pipe 22 is opened. The water pump 20 delivers water from the water tank 21 to the nozzle 17 through the water pipe 16 to clean the inside of the reactor 1. Then, by opening the nitrogen solenoid valve 15, the nitrogen generator 19 is turned on, and nitrogen is delivered to the nozzle 17 through the gas pipe 18. The nitrogen carries away the moisture inside the reactor 1 and is discharged through the bottom liquid outlet 4, achieving the effect of cleaning the inside of the reactor 1 without leaving any moisture.
