[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Reference Figures 1-3This utility model provides an embodiment of a 5-fluorouracil derivative synthesis apparatus, comprising a reaction chamber 1, a temperature control chamber 2 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the reaction chamber 1, a thermostat 10 installed on the inner wall of the temperature control chamber 2, a water pump 15 installed at the bottom of the reaction chamber 1, a processing chamber 5 fixedly connected to the bottom of the water pump 15, a motor 3 fixedly connected to the top of the reaction chamber 1, a reciprocating screw 21 fixedly connected to the drive end of the motor 3, a gear plate 7 connected to the outer wall of the reciprocating screw 21 via a reciprocating assembly, a driven gear 20 meshing with the outer wall of the gear plate 7, a connecting column 11 and a connecting pipe 12 connected to the front end of the driven gear 20 via a stirring assembly, and a slider 22 sleeved on the outer wall of the reciprocating screw 21. (Refer to...) Figure 4 and Figure 5 The outer wall of the slider 22 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the gear plate 7. The bottom end of the gear plate 7 is slidably connected to the top end of the reaction chamber 1. The top end of the gear plate 7 and the outer diameter of the driven gear 20 are meshed. The stirring assembly includes a bevel gear 8 fixedly connected to the front end of the driven gear 20. The top ends of the connecting column 11 and the connecting pipe 12 are both fixedly connected to bevel gears 9. The outer diameters of bevel gears 9 and 8 are meshed. The outer wall of the connecting pipe 12 is fixedly connected to a stirring rack 19. The bottom end of the connecting column 11 is fixedly connected to a stirring rack 18. The left side of the top end of the reaction chamber 1 is fixedly connected to an input chamber 4. The left end of the processing chamber 5 is fixedly connected to an input chamber 6 and passes through it.

[0029] Specifically: After the feed chamber 4 at reaction chamber 1 accurately feeds uracil, fluorinating reagent, and alkylating reagent into reaction chamber 1 according to a preset ratio, motor 3 is started. Motor 3 drives the reciprocating screw 21 to rotate at an adjustable speed of 0-200 rpm. The reciprocating screw 21, through its threaded groove and engagement with the slider 22, drives the slider 22 to reciprocate linearly along the screw axis, with a stroke range of ±50 mm and an adjustable frequency of 5-20 Hz. The slider 22 is fixed to the gear plate 7 through a rigid connecting piece, driving the gear plate 7 to reciprocate horizontally within reaction chamber 1. The reciprocating motion of the gear plate 7, through its rack structure meshing with the driven gear 20, causes the driven gear 20 to rotate periodically in both directions at a speed of ±15 rpm. The rotational power of the driven gear 20 is transmitted to the bevel gear 8 through the drive shaft. The bevel gear 8 and the bevel gear 9 mesh at a 90° orthogonal angle, converting the horizontal axial rotation into vertical axial power, driving the connecting pipe 12 (outer shaft) and the connecting column 11 (inner shaft) to rotate synchronously in opposite directions. The outer shaft rotates at 0-100 rpm, and the inner shaft rotates at 0-85 rpm, with opposite directions. The connecting column 11 and the connecting pipe 12 are connected by flanges, driving the stirring frame 18 (outer shaft stirrer) and the stirring frame 19 (inner shaft stirrer) to perform opposite circular motion. The stirring frame 18 adopts a three-bladed propeller design with a blade diameter of 200 mm and an inclination angle of 45°. The stirring frame 19 adopts an anchor frame structure with a gap of ≤5 mm between its outer edge and the inner wall of the reaction chamber 1. The opposite rotation of the two creates high-intensity shear force and convection circulation, enabling the high-viscosity mixture in the reaction chamber 1 to achieve uniform dispersion within 30 seconds. Meanwhile, the temperature controller 10 in the temperature control chamber 2 controls the jacket circulation system through a PID algorithm, using silicone oil as the heat transfer medium to achieve precise temperature control within the reaction chamber 1. The temperature control accuracy is ±0.5℃, and the heating and cooling rate is ≥5℃ / min, meeting the multi-mode requirements of the low-temperature stage of fluorination reaction (-10℃ to 0℃) and the high-temperature stage of alkylation reaction (60-80℃). This integrated stirring and temperature control system, through the synergistic effect of anti-directional mechanical shearing, forced convection, and dynamic temperature control, completely eliminates the local concentration gradient and temperature lag phenomena present in traditional stirring devices, enabling the mixture in the reaction chamber 1 to achieve molecular-level uniform mixing within 5 minutes. The lining of the reaction chamber 1 is made of Hastelloy C-276 nickel-based alloy and PTFE composite coating, which improves corrosion resistance by 3 times. The surfaces of stirring racks 18 and 19 are coated with tungsten carbide, with a hardness ≥1500HV and a wear resistance life ≥5000 hours. The reciprocating screw 21 is made of 40Cr alloy steel with a quenching process, and the transmission efficiency is ≥92%.

[0030] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7A motor 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of reaction chamber 1. The drive end of motor 16 is connected to separation chamber 13 via separation assembly. A feed pipe 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom of processing chamber 5. A screen 27 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of feed pipe 23 via filter assembly. Separation assembly includes drive gear 17 fixedly connected to the drive end of motor 16. An internal gear ring 14 is fixedly connected to the top of separation chamber 13. The inner diameter of internal gear ring 14 and the outer diameter of drive gear 17 are meshed. The outer wall of separation chamber 13 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of feeding chamber 6. Filter assembly includes electric hydraulic cylinder 24 fixedly connected to the inner wall of feed pipe 23. A transition block 25 is fixedly connected to the drive end of electric hydraulic cylinder 24. Traction plates 26 are rotatably connected to both ends of transition block 25. The opposite ends of traction plates 26 are rotatably connected to the opposite ends of screen 27.

[0031] Specifically: After the water pump 15 quantitatively delivers the mixed solution in reaction chamber 1 to separation chamber 13 in processing chamber 5 through a corrosion-resistant pipe, motor 16 (7.5kW, adjustable speed 0-3000rpm) is started. Motor 16 drives the drive gear 17 to mesh with the internal gear ring 14 via a coupling, causing separation chamber 13 to rotate at high speed of 8000rpm within processing chamber 5. The centrifugal force of separation chamber 13 causes beneficial components such as 5-fluorouracil derivatives in the mixture to separate from impurities. High-density active ingredients are deposited on the inner wall of separation chamber 13 under centrifugal force, while light phase impurities concentrate in the central area. After separation, the pneumatic valve at the bottom of processing chamber 5 is opened, and the separated liquid is discharged through discharge pipe 23. Discharge pipe 23 is embedded with a PTFE screen 27 with an adjustable pore size of 10-50μm and a filtration area of ​​0.5m². 2 The separated liquid undergoes precision filtration to retain solid precipitates with a particle size ≥10μm. An electric hydraulic cylinder 24, with a stroke of 200mm and a thrust of 5kN, is hinged to a traction plate 26 via an adapter block 25. The electric hydraulic cylinder 24, with a stroke of 200mm and a thrust of 5kN, drives the traction plate 26 to reciprocate along the axis of the feed pipe 23, causing the screen 27 to rotate periodically within the feed pipe 23. This mechanically scrapes off the precipitates adhering to the surface of the screen 27 and discharges them along the guide channel. The discharged wet material is then conveyed to the downstream section via a screw conveyor. The drying unit dries the product at 60-80℃ and a vacuum of -0.08MPa for 2-4 hours, ultimately obtaining 5-fluorouracil powder with a moisture content of ≤0.5%, which can be directly used for tableting or capsule filling. When the separation chamber 13 rotates at 8000rpm, the effective ingredient recovery rate is ≥95% and the impurity removal rate is ≥90%. The rotating cleaning mechanism of the screen 27 improves the filtration efficiency by 40%, avoiding the risk of metal contamination from traditional vibrating screens. The drying unit has a thermal efficiency of ≥85%, and its energy consumption is 35% lower than that of traditional drying ovens.

[0032] Working principle: After uracil, fluorinating reagent, and alkylating reagent are placed in reaction chamber 1 via loading chamber 4, motor 3 is started to drive reciprocating screw 21 to rotate. This reciprocating screw 21, through slider 22, drives gear plate 7 to reciprocate within reaction chamber 1. This causes driven gear 20 to rotate in both directions under the transmission of gear plate 7. Gear plate 7 then drives bevel gear 8 to drive bevel gear 9, causing connecting pipe 12 and connecting column 11 to rotate synchronously in opposite directions. This, in turn, drives stirring rack 18 and stirring rack 19 to perform circular motion, ensuring thorough mixing of the mixture within reaction chamber 1. The temperature is then regulated by thermostat 10 within temperature control chamber 2. The mixture in reaction chamber 1 is mixed evenly. Water pump 15 delivers the mixed solution to separation chamber 13 in processing chamber 5. Motor 16 drives drive gear 17 to rotate internal gear ring 14, causing separation chamber 13 to rotate at high speed in processing chamber 5. This separates the beneficial components in the mixture in separation chamber 13. After separation in separation chamber 13, the mixture is discharged through feed pipe 23. The screen 27 in feed pipe 23 filters out the separated precipitate. Electric hydraulic cylinder 24 drives transfer block 25 to pull traction plate 26 to stretch screen 27 to rotate in feed pipe 23, causing the precipitate filtered by screen 27 to be discharged and dried by subsequent drying device, making it convenient to make 5-fluorouracil into powder for use.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
