Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of carbon nanotube laying technology, specifically to a carbon nanofiber tube laying device. Background Technology

[0002] Fiber tubes are tubular materials composed of fine fiber filaments, possessing high strength and high toughness. To further enhance the strength and performance of these limiting tubes, carbon nanotubes are applied to their surface. Carbon nanotubes are one-dimensional quantum materials with a unique structure, axial dimensions on the order of micrometers. They consist primarily of several to dozens of layers of coaxial circular tubes composed of hexagonally arranged carbon atoms, exhibiting a unique structure and excellent mechanical properties.

At the same time, it can be used for fiber tubes of different diameters. It seals the fixing hole 201 at the access position to prevent the internally laid carbon fiber tube from spreading to the outside and polluting the surrounding area.

[0034] The fiber tube fixing mechanism 2 includes fixing holes 201 formed on both side walls of the laying tube 102. Fixing plates 202 are inserted into the top, bottom, and front and rear ends of the fixing holes 201. The fixing plates 202 are used to fix the fiber tube from four directions. The top, bottom, and front and rear ends of the fixing holes 201 are provided with guide grooves 203 for use with the fixing plates 202. A fixing drive mechanism 204 for use with the fixing plates 202 is provided on the side of the guide grooves 203 that are close to each other. Fixing grooves 205 are provided on the side of the fixing plates 202 that are close to each other. A reinforcing and sealing airbag 206 is fixedly connected inside the fixing groove 205. The reinforcing and sealing airbag 206 can protect and fix the fiber tube through the elasticity of the airbag, and the flexible structure of the airbag surface can fit the fiber tube to ensure that the entire fixing hole 201 is blocked and sealed. The fixing plate 202 has an air storage chamber 207 inside. An air pump 208 connected to the reinforcing and sealing airbag 206 is fixedly connected inside the air storage chamber 207. The air pump 208, together with the setting of the air storage chamber 207, can quickly fill the reinforcing and sealing airbag 206 with gas to achieve the fixing effect.

[0035] In order to ensure direct control of the fixing plate 202 without affecting the normal use of the fixing hole 201, the fixing drive mechanism 204 provided in this invention includes a drive ring groove 209 opened inside the two side walls of the laying cylinder 102. The drive ring groove 209 is connected to the guide groove 203. An external toothed ring 210 is inserted into the drive ring groove 209. A guide rod 211 inserted into the external toothed ring 210 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing plate 202.

An external toothed ring 210 is inserted into the drive ring grooves 209. A guide rod 211 inserted into the external toothed ring 210 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed plate 202. An arc-shaped guide hole 212 is formed on the external toothed ring 210 to cooperate with the guide rod 211. By rotating the external toothed ring 210, the guide hole 212 is rotated, thereby controlling each fixed plate 202.

[0036] Reference Appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 3 -Appendix Figure 4 and attached Figure 8 -Appendix Figure 9 The laying mechanism 3 mainly controls the laying of fiber tubes. It achieves the laying effect by setting ultrasonic atomizing nozzles 305. It uses lateral movement and rotation control to ensure uniform laying control of all areas of the fiber tubes inside the laying cylinder 102.

[0037] To achieve a stable laying effect, this application provides an outer ring seat 301 inside one side of the laying tube 102. An inner ring seat 302 is located inside the outer ring seat 301, and a rotating ring plate 303 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the inner ring seat 302. A rotating ring groove 304, matching the rotating ring plate 303, is formed on the inner wall of the outer ring seat 301. This structure ensures that the inner ring seat 302 can rotate according to the outer ring seat, thereby controlling the subsequent ultrasonic atomizing nozzle 305 to rotate as well, achieving comprehensive laying control of the fiber tube. An ultrasonic atomizing nozzle 305 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner side of the outer ring seat 301. 5. An installation plate 306 is fixedly connected to the top of one side of the inner ring seat 302. A carbon nanotube storage tank 307 is fixedly connected to the other end of the installation plate 306. The bottom end of the carbon nanotube storage tank 307 is connected to the ultrasonic atomizing nozzle 305 through a connecting pipe 308. An outlet 309 is opened on the top surface of the laying cylinder 102. A cover plate 310 is hinged inside the outlet 309. Baffles 322 that are used in conjunction with the cover plate 310 are fixedly connected to the bottom of both ends inside the outlet 309. The outlet 309 and the cover plate 310 facilitate the addition of new carbon nanotubes to the carbon nanotube storage tank 307.

[0038] Based on the above, it is also necessary to control the ultrasonic atomizing nozzle 305 to move laterally so as to lay all fiber tubes in the entire laying cylinder 102. Therefore, this application provides a drive groove 311 at the rear end of the outer ring seat 301. A gear 312 is rotatably connected inside the drive groove 311. A rear motor 313 connected to the gear 312 is fixedly inserted into the top surface of the drive groove 311. A toothed plate 314 meshing with the gear 312 is fixedly inserted into the rear wall of the laying cylinder 102. A limiting rod 315 inserted into the outer ring seat 301 is fixedly connected to the front end inside the laying cylinder 102.

[0039] The rotating ring plate 303 has limiting ring plates 316 fixedly connected to both ends. A bevel gear ring 317 is fixedly connected to one end of one limiting ring plate 316. A bevel gear 318 meshing with the bevel gear ring 317 is provided at the top of the bevel gear ring 317. A control motor 319 connected to the bevel gear ring 317 is fixedly inserted into the top of the outer ring seat 301. A T-shaped guide block 320 is fixedly connected to one end of the mounting plate 306 near the outer ring seat 301. A guide ring groove 321 for use with the guide block 320 is opened on one side of the outer ring seat 301. The above structure realizes the rotation drive and control effect of the inner ring seat 302. In addition, the added guide block 320 and guide ring groove 321 ensure the stability of the carbon nanotube storage tank 307 during rotation.

[0040] Reference Appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 The conveying mechanism 4 mainly realizes the conveying control of the fiber tube and provides reinforcement of the carbon nanotubes on the surface of the fiber tube after laying, realizing continuous conveying control, ensuring the continuous movement and laying of the fiber tube, and forming a complete production line function.

[0041] The conveying mechanism 4 is designed to continuously clamp and laterally convey the fiber tube, and then return to its original position for further clamping and conveying. During this process, time is allocated for laying the fiber tube. Therefore, this application provides a processing conveying seat 401 and a side conveying seat 402 on both sides of the laying cylinder 102. The processing conveying seat 401 and the side conveying seat 402 are connected at their bottom front and rear sides by a U-shaped connecting plate 403. The processing conveying seat 401 has processing clamping blocks 404 at its top and bottom, and the side conveying seat 402 has side clamping blocks 405 at its top and bottom. The processing clamping blocks 404 and the side clamping blocks 405 provide a stable clamping and fixing effect on the fiber tube. A heating plate 406 is fixedly inserted into the processing clamping block 404. The function of the heating plate 406 is to... The laid fiber tubes are baked to ensure the reinforcement and stability of the carbon nanotubes. A transverse block 407 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom end of the connecting plate 403. A transverse groove 408 is opened on the front and back sides of the bottom of the outer shell 101 to cooperate with the transverse block 407. A reciprocating screw 409 threadedly connected to the transverse block 407 is rotatably connected inside the transverse groove 408. A lower motor 410 connected to the reciprocating screw 409 is fixedly inserted into one side of the transverse groove 408. By controlling the reciprocating screw 409, the top component can be moved horizontally and repeatedly in conjunction with the transverse block 407. In actual use, the fiber tube is clamped and transported during the conveying process. When moving back to the original position, the fiber tube is released from the fixation. The cycle repeats to achieve continuous conveying control of the fiber tube.

[0042] In order to achieve clamping control of the processing clamping block 404 and the side clamping block 405, this application has control blocks 411 fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the processing clamping block 404 and the side clamping block 405. The processing conveying seat 401 and the side conveying seat 402 are provided with control grooves 412 for use with the control blocks 411. The rear control groove 412 is rotatably connected to a bidirectional lead screw 413 that is threaded to the control block 411. The top surface of the control groove 412 is fixedly inserted with a clamping motor 414 that is connected to the bidirectional lead screw 413. The above structure achieves the clamping control effect of the fiber tube.
