Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of nanomaterial collection technology, specifically to a device for capturing and collecting gas-phase dispersed carbon nanotubes. Background Technology

[0002] Carbon nanotubes are tubular nanomaterials with diameters on the nanometer scale, formed by rolling graphite sheets at a specific helical angle. Due to their excellent overall properties, they are often used as reinforcing fillers added to composite materials. However, due to their high aspect ratio and strong van der Waals forces, carbon nanotubes are prone to agglomeration during production and use, thus reducing their performance. Therefore, it is often necessary to fully disperse the agglomerates of carbon nanotubes during use. Current dispersion methods have drawbacks such as incomplete dispersion, long working time, some damage to nanomaterials, and low dispersion efficiency. Patent No. ZL 201410446507.X reports a carbon nanotube dispersion method in which carbon nanotubes can be directly dispersed in the gas phase. However, the dispersed carbon nanotubes often exhibit a certain degree of disorder, making them difficult to capture and collect, thus hindering the further utilization of the carbon nanotube dispersion. Summary of the Invention

This device can capture and collect carbon nanotubes continuously, efficiently, without pollution, and in an easy-to-operate manner. Through the capture, scraping, and collection of carbon nanotubes, it greatly facilitates the next application of carbon nanotube dispersions.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0005] A device for capturing and collecting gas-phase dispersed carbon nanotubes includes an overhead crane, a carbon nanotube dispersion device, an air pump, a capture and scraping device, and a collection device. The overhead crane is connected to the capture and scraping device via a crane arm and is positioned at a first station by a positioning mechanism. The carbon nanotube dispersion device is located at one end of the first station, and the air pump is located on the side of the carbon nanotube dispersion device away from the capture and scraping device. The air pump blows the dispersed carbon nanotube phase dispersed by the carbon nanotube dispersion device into the capture and scraping device at the first station by airflow. After the capture and scraping device at the first station collects the dispersed carbon nanotube phase for a certain period of time, the overhead crane moves the capture and scraping device to a second station via the crane arm. The second station is connected to the collection device, and the collection device and the capture and scraping device at the second station cooperate to collect the carbon nanotubes.

[0006] Preferably, the carbon nanotube dispersion device is provided with a carbon nanotube dispersed phase output end, and the output end is provided with a valve. After the valve is opened, the air pump blows the carbon nanotube dispersed phase into the capture and scraping device at the first station through airflow. The air pump is equipped with an electronic air pump control valve, and the bottom of the air pump is provided with an air pump bracket.

[0007] Preferably, the positioning mechanism is located on the side of the carbon nanotube dispersion device away from the air pump. The positioning mechanism includes an electromagnetic gripper device and an electromagnetic gripper support. The electromagnetic gripper device is fixedly located at the top of the electromagnetic gripper support. The overhead crane arm suspends the capturing and scraping device to the first work position. At the first work position, the capturing and scraping device is gripped and positioned by the electromagnetic gripper device.

[0008] Preferably, the electromagnetic gripper device includes: a square bushing, an L-shaped slot connecting plate, grippers, an I-shaped slot connecting plate, a gripper connecting frame, a push-pull electromagnet, and a connecting rod. The left and right ends of the push-pull electromagnet are covered and fixed by the gripper connecting frame, and the telescopic end of the push-pull electromagnet is coaxially and fixedly connected to the square bushing. A fixing block with a right-angled triangular cross-section is fixedly connected to the front end of the gripper connecting frame on the left and right sides of the square bushing. One right-angled side of the fixing block is parallel to the axis of the telescopic end, and the other right-angled side is perpendicular to the axis of the telescopic end. The L-shaped slot connecting plates are distributed at the four corners of the square bushing. The corners of the L-shaped slot connecting plates are rotatably connected to the right-angled outer or inner surface of the fixing block. The short side of the L-shaped slot connecting plate is connected to the outer or inner surface of the square bushing. The end is rotatably connected. There are four I-shaped slot connecting plates, which are arranged parallel to the long side of the L-shaped slot connecting plate. One end of the I-shaped slot connecting plate is hinged to the outer or inner surface of the end of the fixing block away from the square bushing. The long side end of the L-shaped slot connecting plate and the other end of the I-shaped slot connecting plate on the same side are connected to a mounting plate. The two ends of the mounting plate are respectively hinged to the long side end of the L-shaped slot connecting plate and the end of the I-shaped slot connecting plate. The upper ends of the mounting plates on the left and right sides are fixedly connected to grippers. Under the drive of the push-pull electromagnet, the grippers open and close to realize the action of gripping and releasing. The bottom ends of the left and right gripper connecting frames are fixedly connected to the top end of the connecting rod. The bottom end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the top end of the electromagnetic gripper bracket. Two electromagnetic gripper devices are arranged side by side.

[0009] Preferably, the capturing and scraping device includes: a first cylinder, a connecting flange, a capturing and scraping cylinder, and a scraping rubber disc. One end of the capturing and scraping cylinder is closed, and the other end is open. The cylinder end of the first cylinder is connected to the closed end of the capturing and scraping cylinder through the connecting flange. The piston rod of the first cylinder slides through the closed end and is connected to one end of the scraping rubber disc located inside the capturing and scraping cylinder. The outer edge of the scraping rubber disc is tightly fitted and slidably connected to the inner surface of the capturing and scraping cylinder.

The carbon nanotube dispersion enters the capture and scraping cylinder of the capture and scraping device under the airflow generated by the air pump, so that part of the carbon nanotube dispersion is attached to the surface of the scraping rubber disc and the other part is attached to the wall of the capture and scraping cylinder. After the capture and scraping cylinder has collected for a predetermined time, the electronic air pump control valve is closed, so that the carbon nanotube dispersion device also stops working and the electromagnetic gripper device is opened.

[0015] (3) The capture and scraping device moves to the second station under the gripping of the overhead crane robotic arm. The carbon nanotube dispersion is continuously scraped off the carbon nanotube dispersion on the inner wall of the scraping cylinder by the scraping rubber disc driven by the first cylinder in the capture and scraping device, and the scraping rubber disc is moved to a suitable position in the collection device. The second cylinder is adjusted so that the rotating scraping disc fits against the outer surface of the scraping rubber disc, and the scraping speed of the rotating scraping disc is adjusted by adjusting the rotation speed of the rotating scraping disc driver.

By continuously repeating the above operations, the capture and collection of carbon nanotube dispersion is achieved.
