Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of synthetic fiber spinning technology, and in particular to a functional polylactic acid fiber production apparatus and process. Background Technology
[0002] With the advancement of global "dual carbon" goals and increased efforts to control white pollution, bio-based biodegradable polymer materials have become a research and industrialization hotspot in the materials field. Polylactic acid (PLA) is an aliphatic polyester material prepared from renewable plant resources such as corn and cassava through bio-fermentation and chemical synthesis. It has complete biodegradability, excellent biocompatibility, and mechanical properties and spinnability close to those of polyester fibers. After being discarded, it can be completely degraded into carbon dioxide and water in the natural environment without environmental residue. It is known as the "green and environmentally friendly material of the 21st century" and has been widely used in packaging, medical, textile and other fields. In the textile fiber field, polylactic acid fiber has become one of the core categories to replace petroleum-based polyester and nylon fiber due to its skin-friendly and breathable, antibacterial and mildew-proof, and completely degradable properties.
[0003] The present invention, CN102529056B, discloses a method for preparing high melt strength polylactic acid and an extruder. The raw materials are 100 parts by weight of polylactic acid resin, 1-3 parts by weight of a reactive chain extender, and 0.1-3 parts by weight of an antioxidant. After drying the polylactic acid resin, it is mixed with the reactive chain extender and antioxidant according to the above weight proportions, and then added to an extruder. The mixture is then reacted and extruded to obtain high melt strength polylactic acid. The extruder includes a first-stage extruder and a second-stage extruder, both equipped with temperature sensors and heating devices. The first-stage extruder is a twin-screw extruder, and the second-stage extruder is a single-screw extruder. The first-stage extruder has a first inlet and a first outlet, and the second extruder has a second inlet and a second outlet. The first outlet is connected to the second inlet. The above method can provide a production method and equipment for preparing polylactic acid materials with high melt strength and suitable for continuous large-scale production using a dual-single series reactive extruder structure.
[0004] However, in the melt processing of functional polylactic acid (PLA) fibers, the screw extruder is the core equipment for realizing the blending and plasticization of PLA matrix with various functional fillers and additives. The processing relies on the precise proportioning and continuous and stable synergistic feeding of multiple raw material systems such as PLA chips and functional modified components to ensure process stability. In actual production, due to the differences in the physical properties of multiple raw materials (such as particle size, flowability, and hygroscopicity) and fluctuations in the operating conditions of the feeding system, problems such as blockage of the feeding channel of a single raw material, shutdown of the feeding unit, or abnormal fluctuations in the feeding amount are very likely to occur. This directly leads to the raw material ratio in the extruder deviating from the process design value, affecting the product processing quality and batch stability. Summary of the Invention

[0015] Beneficial effects This invention constructs a closed-loop production system covering the entire process from bamboo waste pretreatment to the preparation of functional polylactic acid (PLA) fiber products. Through the synergistic cooperation of the bamboo micro-nano processing unit and the bamboo charcoal nanofiber preparation unit, the high-value utilization of agricultural and forestry waste is realized. The resulting bamboo charcoal nanofibers can simultaneously endow PLA fibers with antibacterial, far-infrared, and negative ion release functions, while improving the crystallization performance of PLA, thus solving the industry pain points of poor heat resistance and single function of ordinary PLA fibers. The supporting functional composite masterbatch preparation unit can achieve uniform blending of functional components with PLA matrix, effectively solving the problems of easy agglomeration of functional fillers and poor compatibility with the matrix, and preparing functional composite masterbatches with stable components and suitable for spinning requirements. This invention replaces the cumbersome process of traditional two-step spinning by linking a one-step melt spinning forming unit with an online stretching, shaping and winding unit.

This invention features a specially designed dual-feeder mechanism that achieves precise compartmentalized feeding of polylactic acid (PLA) base chips and functional masterbatches through two independent feeding channels, ensuring the accuracy of raw material proportions from the source. The accompanying anti-bridging component effectively breaks up raw material agglomeration, preventing inlet blockage and ensuring continuous and stable feeding.

[0036] Specific usage method and function of this embodiment: The raw materials are cleaned and crushed by a cleaning crusher to complete cleaning, impurity removal, crushing and powder making, obtaining bamboo powder meeting the pre-treatment requirements. The bamboo powder, PDADMAC, composite bio-enzyme, and deionized water are sent into an enzymatic hydrolysis reactor together to complete the pre-treatment reaction for breaking cellulose hydrogen bonds. After the pre-treated materials are washed and centrifuged, they are sent into a high-speed disperser to complete preliminary dispersion and defibration, preparing a bamboo pulp suspension. The bamboo pulp suspension is sent into a high-pressure homogenizer to complete high-pressure micro-nano processing, releasing cellulose microfibrils, and obtaining a bamboo nano-cellulose suspension. After the suspension is concentrated and dehydrated by a centrifugal dehydrator, it is sent into a spray dryer for drying, obtaining powdery bamboo nano-cellulose, completing all process steps of the bamboo micro-nano processing unit 1. The obtained bamboo nano-cellulose is sent into the bamboo carbon nano-fiber preparation unit 2. The bamboo nano-cellulose is sent into a vacuum carbonization furnace, and the whole process heat treatment of pre-carbonization, carbonization, and high-temperature graphitization is completed through programmed temperature control, obtaining a primary bamboo carbon product. The primary bamboo carbon product is sent into an ultrafine air-flow pulverizer to complete ultrafine pulverization, obtaining nano-scale bamboo carbon powder. The pulverized powder is sent into a grading and screening machine to complete nano-scale particle size grading and screening, removing large particle aggregates, obtaining bamboo carbon nano-fibers with uniform particle size. The qualified bamboo carbon nano-fibers are sent into a sealed storage tank to complete nitrogen protection and sealed storage, completing all process steps of the bamboo carbon nano-fiber preparation unit 2. The obtained bamboo carbon nano-fibers, together with polylactic acid chips, PEG, PHBV, compatibilizer, dispersant, and antioxidant, are sent into the functional composite masterbatch preparation unit 3. All raw materials are accurately weighed and proportioned by multiple independent loss-in-weight metering scales according to the process formula. The proportioned raw materials are sent into a high-speed mixer to complete uniform pre-mixing at room temperature. The uniformly mixed materials are sent into a twin-screw extruder to complete melt blending and plasticization, realizing the uniform dispersion of functional components in the polylactic acid matrix. The extruded molten material strip is sent into a circulating water cooling tank to complete cooling and shaping, and then sent into a water-cooled draw bead granulator to complete granulation, obtaining primary masterbatch. The primary masterbatch is sent into a vibrating screening machine to complete grading and screening, removing unqualified particles, and then sent into a vacuum rotary drum dryer to complete deep drying, controlling the moisture content within the spinning requirement range. The dried qualified functional composite masterbatch is sent into a sealed storage bin to complete nitrogen protection and sealed storage, completing all process steps of the functional composite masterbatch preparation unit 3. The polylactic acid fiber-forming base chips and the functional composite masterbatch are sent into the one-step melt spinning forming unit 4. The polylactic acid fiber-forming base chips and the functional composite masterbatch are respectively sent into two double-feed troughs 601 supporting a single-screw extruder 6. The loss-in-weight metering feeder of the double-feed trough feeding mechanism accurately controls the feeding ratio and rate. The raw materials are uniformly sent into the internal cavity of the single-screw extruder 6 through the feeding limiting member 602. Inside the single-screw extruder 6, the raw materials complete transportation, melt plasticization, dispersion and mixing, and pressure stabilization and metering along with the rotation of the screw body 603, obtaining a polylactic acid composite melt with uniform components and stable temperature. The polylactic acid composite melt is sent into a static mixing and filtering device 7 through a heat preservation pipeline, and successively completes three-stage progressive filtering through the internal coarse filtering unit, fine filtering unit, and ultra-fine filtering unit.The melt undergoes secondary homogenization via a built-in static mixing unit to remove impurities and agglomerates, further improving melt uniformity. The filtered and homogenized melt is then fed into an insulated spinning box 401 via an insulated pipeline. After precise metering by a high-precision gear metering pump within the box, it is fed into the spinning assembly for melt stream extrusion. The extruded melt stream is cooled and solidified by a ring-blowing cooling device to produce continuous nascent fibers. The nascent fibers are then surface-oiled by a fiber oiling device and fed into an online stretching, shaping, and winding unit 5. The nascent fibers then pass through a guide roller assembly... After guiding and stabilizing the tension, the fiber is fed into a preheating roller to preheat it, preparing it for subsequent stretching. The preheated fiber then undergoes two stages of online stretching via a primary stretching roller and a secondary stretching roller, achieving the oriented crystallization of the fiber molecular chains and reaching the designed total stretch ratio. The stretched fiber is then fed into a setting roller for relaxation heat setting, eliminating internal stress and stabilizing fiber dimensions and properties. The set fiber is then precisely wound into shape by a high-speed winding machine, producing functional polylactic acid (PLA) FDY filament in one step, completing the entire production process.

[0038] The dual-feed trough feeding mechanism also includes: a limiting guide 610, a cutting-off drive 611, a first trigger 612, a second trigger 613, a feeding fixing component 614, a feeding anti-reverse baffle 615, and a feeding one-way baffle 616; the limiting guide 610 is fixedly connected to the upper rear side of the single-screw extruder 6, and is located in front of the feeding limiting component 602; the cutting-off drive 611 is an electromagnet structure, and is fixedly connected to the lower inner side of the limiting guide 610; two sets of first triggers 612 are provided, and the two sets of first triggers 612 are respectively fixedly connected to the lower inner side of the dual-feed trough 601, and the lower end of the first trigger 612 is provided with a contact structure; two sets of second triggers 613 are provided. Both sets of second triggers 613 are elastic metal sheet structures. Both sets of second triggers 613 are fixedly connected to the lower part of the double feed trough 601. The upper end of both sets of second triggers 613 is provided with a contact structure. The contact structures of both sets of second triggers 613 and both sets of first triggers 612 are electrically connected to the switching circuit of the cut-off drive component 611. The feed fixing component 614 is fixedly connected to the inside of the feed limiting component 602. The feed anti-reverse baffle 615 is hinged to the rear side of the feed fixing component 614. Two sets of feed one-way baffles 616 are provided. The two sets of feed one-way baffles 616 are fixedly connected to the upper left and right sides of the feed fixing component 614, respectively. The rear ends of the two sets of feed one-way baffles 616 are respectively set above the feed anti-reverse baffle 615.
[0039] The dual-feeder feeding mechanism also includes: a stop drive component 617, a stop connecting spring 618, a stop guide wheel 619, and a stop transmission rope 620; the stop drive component 617 is slidably connected to the upper part of the limit guide component 610, and the stop drive component 617 is magnetically connected to the stop drive component 611; the upper end of the stop connecting spring 618 is fixedly connected to the stop drive component 617, and the lower end of the stop connecting spring 618 is fixedly connected to the stop drive component 611; the stop guide wheel 619 is rotatably connected to the front end of the feed limit component 602; the stop transmission rope 620 is wrapped around the outer circumference of the stop guide wheel 619, the rear end of the stop transmission rope 620 is fixedly connected to the feed anti-reverse baffle 615, and the front end of the stop transmission rope 620 is fixedly connected to the stop drive component 617.
[0040] The specific usage and function of this embodiment: Polylactic acid fiber base chips and functional composite masterbatches are respectively fed into two independent double feed troughs 601. The double feed troughs 601 are connected to the feed section 604 of the screw body 603 through the feed limiting component 602. The anti-bridging motor 608 drives the anti-bridging lever 609 in the double feed troughs 601 to rotate at low speed, breaking up the bridging and agglomeration of raw materials, avoiding blockage of the feed inlet, and ensuring continuous and stable feeding of the two sets of raw materials. The raw materials pass through the feed one-way baffle 616 and the feed anti-reverse baffle on the feed fixing component 614. 615 falls into the feeding section 604, where the one-way feeding baffle 616 enables unidirectional feeding, preventing hot air from the barrel from rising and causing raw material agglomeration; the feed anti-reverse baffle 615 opens the feeding channel under the impact of raw material during normal feeding, and can automatically close and seal when melt backflow occurs, preventing high-temperature melt backflow from causing blockage and raw material degradation. The raw material entering the barrel rotates with the screw body 603, and is stably conveyed through the feeding section 604, gradually melted and plasticized in the barrier compression section 605, and mixed with the pineapple head compound by the pin-type mixing elements in the mixing section 606. The dispersion and homogenization section 607 outputs a stable voltage to obtain a polylactic acid composite melt with uniform composition. The melt is then sequentially fed into the static mixing and filtration equipment 7 and the heat-insulated spinning box 401 to complete the spinning and forming process. When any set of dual feed troughs 601 experiences a material interruption or severe insufficient feeding, the second trigger 613 in that trough loses the raw material pressure and rebounds, contacting the contact point of the first trigger 612, thus activating the control circuit of the cut-off drive 611 fixed in the limiting guide 610. The cut-off drive 611 is energized and generates magnetic force. The adsorption-stopping drive component 617 slides downwards, pulling the feed anti-reverse baffle 615 to close quickly via the stop transmission rope 620 that passes around the stop guide wheel 619, completely blocking the feed channel and preventing the raw material ratio from becoming unbalanced after material interruption. At the same time, it completely blocks the return of melt. After the material interruption fault is cleared, the stop drive component 611 loses power and the magnetic force disappears. The stop drive component 617 resets under the elastic force of the stop connecting spring 618. The stop transmission rope 620 is released, and the feed anti-reverse baffle 615 can reopen under the impact of the raw material, restoring normal feeding.
