DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] The application will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments:
[0027] As Figures 1-3 shown, a device for preparing recycled colored hollow polyester staple fiber for automotive interiors comprises a storage tank 1, a screw extruder 2, a melt filter 3, and a spinning machine 4. The lower part of the storage tank 1 and the hopper 20 of the screw extruder are both funnel-shaped, tapering from top to bottom. The discharge port of the storage tank 1 is coaxially arranged with the inlet port of the hopper 20.
[0028] The storage tank 1 is provided with a blockage clearing mechanism 5 on its outer side. The blockage clearing mechanism 5 includes a fixed plate 51, a movable plate 52 and a pair of insert rods 53. The pair of insert rods 53 are fixed to the upper and lower ends of the same side of the movable plate 52 and pass through the fixed plate 51. The pair of insert rods 53 are respectively inserted into the lower part of the storage tank 1 and the upper part of the hopper 20.
[0029] A driving mechanism is provided between the movable plate 52 and the fixed plate 51. The driving mechanism drives the movable plate 52 to move toward the fixed plate 51 and pushes the insert rod 53. When the driving mechanism moves, the movable plate 52 moves toward the fixed plate 51. During this process, the insert rod 53 will continuously move toward the inside of the storage tank 1 or the hopper 20, thereby creating a disturbance to the material. This effectively prevents the material from forming a stable arched structure at the bottom of the storage tank 1 and the bottom of the hopper 20, thus ensuring that the material can move smoothly within the storage tank 1 and the hopper 20 under the disturbance of the insert rod 53.
[0030] The fixed plate 51 is located between the movable plate 52 and the storage tank 1. A bracket 511 is provided on the outer side of the fixed plate 51 to support the fixed plate 51. The bracket 511 can be set on the outer wall of the storage tank 1, the outer wall of the hopper 20, or the ground, as long as the fixed plate 51 is fixed under the support of the bracket 511.
[0031] The driving mechanism includes a pair of hydraulic cylinders 54, which are located between the movable plate 52 and the fixed plate 51. One end of each hydraulic cylinder 54 is connected to the inner side of the fixed plate 51, and the other end is connected to the inner side of the movable plate 52. When the push rod of the hydraulic cylinder 54 extends, the end of the insert rod 53 remains in contact with the inner wall of the storage tank 1 or the inner wall of the hopper 20. When the push rod of the hydraulic cylinder 54 retracts, the insert rod 53 moves into the interior of the storage tank 1 and the hopper 20 under the drive of the movable plate 52. In this way, the reciprocating movement of the insert rod 53 within the storage tank 1 and the hopper 20 can agitate the material, ensuring that the material can flow smoothly downwards.
[0032] The driving mechanism also includes an air cushion 55, and a pair of hydraulic cylinders 54 are located outside the air cushion 55. The two sides of the air cushion 55 are respectively connected to a fixed plate 51 and a movable plate 52. An external air source inflates the air cushion 55 or deflates it. When the air cushion 55 is in an inflated state, the push rod of the hydraulic cylinder 54 is extended, and the end of the insertion rod 53 is in contact with the inner wall of the storage tank 1 or the inner wall of the hopper 20. When the air cushion 55 is in a retracted state, the push rod of the hydraulic cylinder 54 is retracted, and the insertion rod 53 is inserted into the storage tank 1 or the hopper 20. In this way, with the assistance of the air cushion 55, the insertion rod 53 can be driven more smoothly.
[0033] The insertion rod 53 is hollow and is connected to the air cushion 55 by a retractable hose 550. A valve is provided at one end of the hose 550 near the air cushion 55. An opening 530 is provided at one end of the insertion rod 53 located in the storage tank 1 or hopper 20, and the opening 530 communicates with the interior of the insertion rod 53. When the air cushion 55 contracts and the insert rod 53 moves into the storage tank 1 and hopper 20, the valve is opened. The air in the air cushion 55 is forced into the insert rod 53 through the hose 550 under the pressure of the movable plate 52 and the fixed plate 51, and discharged outward through the opening 530 of the insert rod 53. Since the opening 530 of the insert rod 53 is inside the storage tank 1 and hopper 20 at this time, the air ejected from the opening 530 can form a high-speed airflow inside the storage tank 1 and hopper 20. This high-speed airflow creates an impact on the material, further preventing the material from getting stuck in the storage tank 1 and hopper 20, ensuring that the material can flow smoothly into the screw extruder and will not cause the screw extruder to stop due to material shortage.
[0034] The fixed plate 51 has a pair of through holes 512, and the lower part of the storage tank 1 and the upper part of the hopper 20 each have a pair of through holes 10. The pair of through holes 10 corresponds one-to-one with the pair of through holes 512 and is coaxially arranged. The insertion rod 53 passes through the through holes 512 and the through holes 10 in sequence and is flush with the inner wall of the storage tank 1 or the interior of the hopper 20. The outer diameter of the insertion rod 53 is smaller than the inner diameter of the through hole 512 and smaller than the inner diameter of the through hole 10. The inner diameter of the through hole 512 is the same as the inner diameter of the through hole 10. The arrangement of the through holes 10 and 512 ensures that the insertion rod 53 can move smoothly back and forth, achieving a disturbance effect on the material and ensuring reliable unblocking.
[0035] A vibration motor 6 is also provided on the outer side of the fixing plate 51. The vibration motor 6 transmits excitation force to the fixing plate 51 and a pair of insert rods 53. Under the action of the vibration motor 6, the excitation force of the insert rods 53 is transmitted to the material, thereby forming an oscillation effect on the material and significantly improving the anti-clogging effect.
[0036] This invention effectively prevents material blockage in the lower part of the storage tank 1 and the upper part of the hopper 20 by the disturbance effect of the insert rod 53, the blowing effect of the high-speed airflow input through the insert rod 53, and the oscillation effect of the excitation force transmitted through the insert rod 53, ensuring reliable unblocking and smooth material delivery to the screw extruder.
[0037] A process for preparing recycled colored hollow polyester staple fiber for automotive interiors includes the following steps:
[0038] S1. After adding the recycled raw material to the black masterbatch, it is placed in a vacuum drum equipment for heating and drying. After drying, it is transported to a storage tank.
[0039] S2. Adjust the size of the discharge port of the storage tank according to the operating speed of the screw extruder to control the discharge amount from the storage tank to the screw extruder;
[0040] S3. The recycled raw material is melted by the screw and enters the reactor through a first filter. After being vacuumed to remove impurities, it enters the spinning machine through a second filter for spinning. The spinning process begins at 500cm-800cm from the spinneret. After spinning, the filament is stretched at 160m / min for 1.8 million denier, with a total draw of 4.0 times. The filament is then wound and cut on the oil roller to obtain the finished product.
[0041] In step S1, the recycled raw material is fabric scrap with a viscosity of 0.56 dl / g.
[0042] In step S3, the first and second filters are melt filters, with precision settings of 120 mesh and 150 mesh, respectively.
[0043] The colored hollow polyester staple fiber obtained in step S3 has a strength of 2.5 cN / dtex, an elongation of 45%, a defect count of 50 mg / 100g, and a crimp count of 6 per 2.5 cm.
[0044] In summary, these are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. All equivalent variations and modifications made in accordance with the shape, structure, features, and spirit of the claims of the present invention should be included within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
