[0050] Referring to
[0051] In the non-limiting embodiments or aspects mentioned above, specifically, the first channel 130 provided in the inner casing 100 is configured for transporting one or more pressurized fluids. The shape of the flow blocking members is selected according to actual needs, and the flow blocking structure may be designed as a plate shape, also a column shape, or a comprehensive application of a plate body and a column body, with the purpose of making the fluids generate irregular turbulences when flowing in the first channel 130, so as to improve the mixing or reaction effect, thereby improving the mixing or reaction efficiency. The fluids to be mixed or reacted enter from the first inlet 110, and are fully mixed, sheared, contacted and collided in the first channel 130 by means of the flow blocking structure, so that the materials can be fully contacted to achieve a high-efficiency mixing and reaction effect, and the mixing effect is close to the effect of a traditional stirring tank stirring at 3000 rpm. The fluids finally flow out from the first outlet 120. Since there are a variety of fluids with different properties in the fluids to be mixed or the fluids to be reacted, one or more first inlets 110 may be provided. If there is one first inlet designed, the fluids may be first subjected to initial mixing from the outside, and then injected into the first channel 130 through the first inlet 110 in a pressurized manner, so as to perform deep and efficient mixing. If there are a plurality of first inlets designed, each of the fluids may be injected from a respective first inlet 110, and then be mixed and reacted in the first channel 130 at one time, and finally the finished fluid flows out from the first outlet 120. Compared with the traditional mixing and stirring tanks, stirring towers, etc., the above two cases have the advantages of continuous, efficient and stable mixing and reaction.
[0052] The second channel 230 is arranged in the outer casing 200, and the inner casing 100 is fixed in the second channel 230. A coolant or a heat preservation liquid etc. may flow in the second channel 230 according to the actual task requirements. When being injected into the second channel 230, the coolant may directly act on the outer wall of the inner casing 100 to increase the heat exchange area, and continuously flow and be renewed on the outer wall of the inner casing 100, so that the heat generated by mixing and reaction in the inner casing 100 can be transferred in time through heat exchange, the heat exchange efficiency is improved, and further, the temperature in the first channel 130 can be effectively controlled. The continuous delivery of the coolant avoids the by-products and material degradation due to the temperature increase, and also avoids some safety hazards caused by excessive temperature. It can be seen that the device in the disclosure has higher safety than traditional stirring reactors, reaction towers, etc., and also reduces the space occupancy rate of the device itself, making it compact in structure to be convenient for production and operator to operate and use. If the heat preservation liquid is transported in the second channel 230, the mixing cavity can be kept in a constant temperature state, so that the fluids in the mixing cavity can be kept within a temperature range required for the reaction, which is conducive to the advance of the reaction and improves the efficient of fluid mixing reaction.
[0053] Further, the inner casing 100 has a shape of a long straight line, both ends of the inner casing 100 extend out of the outer casing 200, and the inner casing 100 is fixed to the outer casing 200 in a sealing manner. Specifically, the inner casing 100 in the shape of a long straight line is convenient for production and assembly on the one hand, and on the other hand, improves the compactness of the device and facilitates the installation of the device by the operator. Both ends of the inner casing 100 extend out of the outer casing 200, which is beneficial to provide the first inlet 110 and the first outlet 120 at the extension part, and also beneficial to inject the fluids to be mixed in a pressurized manner. The sealing portion between the inner casing 100 and the outer casing 200 may be fixed by welding, or be quickly installed and fixed by means of an industrial sealant, or be fixed by means of integral molding and fixtures. Meanwhile, the shape of the inner casing 100 may also be non-linear, such as the U shape in
