Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of polyester staple fiber production and manufacturing, and specifically relates to an oven that effectively prevents the fiber pack from caking. Background Technology

[0002] The final step in the post-processing of low-melting-point polyester staple fiber is packaging, which involves packaging the dried fibers. Most factories use a continuous production process for drying and packaging, which means that the fibers are not cooled in time after drying before being packaged into cotton bales. At the same time, most ovens have excess capacity for drying low-melting-point PET fibers.

[0003] This isn't a major problem for ordinary PET fibers, but it's fatal for modified low-melting-point PET fibers. This is because the fibers fail to cool in time, leading to heat buildup inside the packaging bag and causing the fibers to soften and stick together. This invention effectively improves the cooling effect of the fibers before they enter the packaging machine, maintaining good fiber cooling and preventing clumping inside the bag. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an oven that effectively prevents fiber packing from caking. The oven is divided into sections, with the first eight sections for heating and the last two sections for cooling. Cooling water is introduced into the cooling section to cool the fibers before they exit the oven.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: an oven that effectively prevents fiber packing from caking, comprising an oven body, wherein eight heating zones and two cooling zones are arranged sequentially along the length of the oven body, each heating zone and cooling zone is provided with a heat exchanger, and a conveyor chain plate for transporting fiber products is provided below each heat exchanger in the oven body, wherein the heat exchanger is a plate-fin heat exchanger, and the left end of each heat exchanger is connected to the main hot steam pipeline via a conveying pipe 1, the conveying pipe 1 of the heat exchangers in the two cooling zones is provided with a sealing blind plate, and the side of the conveying pipe 1 of the heat exchangers in the two cooling zones is connected to the main cooling water pipeline via a conveying pipe 2, the height of the sealing blind plate is higher than the height of the connection point between the conveying pipe 2 and the conveying pipe 1, the right end of each heat exchanger is connected to a recovery medium pipe, the gas outlet of each heat exchanger is arranged downwards corresponding to the conveyor chain plate, and a circulating fan is provided corresponding to the gas inlet of each heat exchanger.

[0006] The oven of this invention has an inlet and an outlet at its front and rear ends, respectively. During operation, fibers enter the oven through the inlet, and then a conveyor chain carries the fiber product sequentially through eight heating zones and two cooling zones. These zones are equidistantly distributed within the oven. Hot steam is introduced into the left end of the heat exchanger in the heating zones, and cooling water (chilled water) is introduced into the left end of the heat exchanger in the cooling zones. The hot steam or cooling water is discharged and recovered through a recovery medium pipe via channel two. A circulating fan blows air above channel one of the heat exchangers. The fibers in the first eight heating zones are dried and heated, while a flow regulating valve is installed on the conveyor pipe of the heat exchanger in the heating zones. The fibers in the last two cooling zones are cooled, ensuring that the fibers are cooled before exiting the oven. Compared to existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are: it solves the problem of excessive drying of fibers within the oven, leading to abnormal fiber appearance and feel, and ensures that the fibers are cooled before exiting the oven, preventing fiber caking inside the packaging bag.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the oven body includes a horizontal top plate, and a left side plate, a partition plate and a right side plate are vertically arranged below the top plate. The heating zone and the cooling zone are both located between the left side plate and the partition plate, and a reinforcing plate is horizontally arranged between the lower part of the left side plate and the partition plate.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the first conveying pipe, the second conveying pipe, and the recovery medium pipe are all extended out of the top plate.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the heat exchanger includes a plate bundle, with a left end cap and a right end cap on the left and right sides of the plate bundle, respectively. Several vertical channels (Channel 1) and horizontal channels (Channel 2) are arranged on the plate bundle. Channel 2 is arranged along the width direction of the drying oven, and its left and right ends are connected to the left and right end caps, respectively. The upper and lower ends of channel 1 are the gas inlet and gas outlet, respectively. The axes of channel 1 and channel 2 are perpendicular. Hot steam or chilled water is introduced into channel 2 for drying or cooling the fibers.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the first conveying pipe includes an upper pipe body and a lower pipe body. Flange 1 and Flange 2 are respectively provided at the lower end of the upper pipe body and the upper end of the lower pipe body. A sealing blind plate is provided between flange 1 and flange 2. Flange 1 and flange 2 are fixed together by several fasteners evenly distributed circumferentially. A sealing ring is provided on the upper and lower sides of the sealing blind plate corresponding to flange 1 and flange 2, respectively. The first conveying pipe in the cooling zone is blocked by the sealing blind plate, and chilled water enters the heat exchanger through the second conveying pipe to cool the fibers.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, several observation windows are provided on the left side plate to facilitate observation of the interior of the oven.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, each of the circulating fans is located between the partition plate and the right side plate.
