Through the above arrangement, the disk ring 2091, the hollow platform 2092 and the straight pipe 2093 together constitute a waste heat recovery structure for the hot air escaping from the air outlet of the hollow roller 2082.

[0048] Working process: In the prior art, when sizing and drying carbon fiber tows, the carbon fiber tows are horizontally guided and transmitted, the upper and lower membrane layers soaked with slurry are brought into contact with the tows, and heated and dried by electric hot rollers and subsequent drying ovens to form a film on the surface of the single filaments in the tows. Taking the processing of carbon fiber tows through electric hot roller drying treatment and subsequent twisting to form large tow carbon fiber wires as an example, the present invention provides a curing and molding device for subsequent drying of the large tow carbon fibers formed by the twisting process, which is used to replace the subsequent processing in a drying oven after the electric hot roller drying treatment, and can simultaneously guide, transport, dry and solidify the large tow carbon fiber twisted wires, thereby improving the drying and shaping efficiency of the large tow carbon fiber processing.

[0049] The stepper motor 108, air pump device 202 and heating wire assembly 205 provided in this device are all controlled and processed by an external PLC controller, and the stepper motor 108, air pump device 202 and heating wire assembly 205 provided above are all electrically connected to an external power supply, wherein the heating wire assembly 205 includes a heating wire body, a voltage regulator, a thermometer and other components, and the heating temperature of the heating wire body is monitored and adjusted by the voltage regulator, thermometer and other components, which belongs to the temperature adjustment method of the existing heating wire device and will not be elaborated in this article.

[0050] The stepper motor 108 is started to drive the shaft cylinder 106 set at the front end to rotate, and the belt 118 set between the front and rear sides can drive the shaft cylinder 106 set at the rear end to rotate synchronously. Since the shaft cylinder 106 and the small gear plate 107 are fixed structures, the small gear plate 107 can be driven to rotate. The small gear plate 107 and the three large gear plates 104 arranged adjacent to the left side in meshing form a meshing transmission structure for driving the three large gear plates 104 to rotate, wherein the bearing ring 103 is a rotation limiter of the large gear plate 104, which is used to ensure the horizontal and stable rotation of the large gear plate 104. The large gear plate 104, the first solid column 105, the sleeve ring 109, the hollow column 112, the leaf disk 113, the second solid column 114, and the crank 116 are an integrated assembly structure, wherein the leaf disk 113 uses the hollow column 112 as a rotation limiter. When the large gear plate 104 rotates, the crank 116 and the leaf disk 113 can be driven to rotate around the hollow column 112, forming a structure as shown in the figure. Fig.23 The display structure of the leaf disk 113 shown can adjust the rotation angle of the display structure of the leaf disk 113 accordingly by setting the rotation angle of the shaft tube 106 driven by the stepping motor 108, and adjust the angle of the breathable gasket 115 of the end air outlet structure, which can be used to synchronously adjust the angle of the end air outlet structure of the multi-channel large-tow twisted wire set inside the guide adjustment device 1.

[0051] The air pump device 202 is started, wherein the bottom exhaust pipe of the air pump device 202 is connected to the output pipes 206 arranged on the left and right sides, the top air intake pipe of the air pump device 202 is connected to the branch pipe 203 and the air collecting structure 209, and the top of the output pipe 206 arranged on the right is connected to the inside of the air guide cylinder 211. The exhaust pipeline of this device is divided into four places, including two output pipes 206 arranged on the left and right sides connected to the bottom pipe of the air pump device 202, and two hoses connected to the air guide cylinder 211 at the top of the right output pipe 206. The air intake pipe of this device is divided into four places, including two branch pipes 203 and two groups of air collecting structures 209 symmetrically distributed front and back that are fixedly connected to the top air intake pipe of the air pump device 202.

[0052] Before using the device, the air pump device 202 and the heating wire assembly 205 are preheated for 5-7 minutes. The air inside the output pipes 206 arranged on the left and right sides is heated by the heating wire assembly 205 and then enters the upper plate 101 through the arranged cavity box 204. Since the inner wall of the outer wall of the ring 109 and the inner wall of the guide hole opened in the upper plate 101 are connected through circular holes, the hot air enters the ring 109 through the upper plate 101. The hot air inside the ring 109 enters the blade disk 113 through the small through groove opened in the hollow column 112 and the large through groove opened in the blade disk 113. The hot air is discharged through the breathable gasket 115 arranged on the inner side of the blade disk 113 to carry out subsequent drying and shaping of the large filament bundle strands.

[0053] Circular holes are respectively provided on the inner walls of the lower cavity tube 110 and the upper cavity tube 111. The upper cavity tube 111 is fixedly connected to the branch pipe 203. The hot air discharged from the breathable gasket 115 floats up, and part of the residual hot air is recovered through the circular holes provided on the inner walls of the lower cavity tube 110 and the upper cavity tube 111, and flows back to the top pipe of the air pump device 202 through the branch pipe 203.

[0054] The two hoses connected to the top of the right output pipe 206 are connected to the air guide cylinder 211. After preheating treatment by the air pump device 202 and the electric heating wire assembly 205, hot air flows inside the upper pipeline and the lower pipeline of the air pump device 202. The hot air enters the hollow rod 2081, the hollow roller 2082, and the hollow cylinder 2083 through the connecting tube 210, and is discharged through the air outlet holes opened on the inner wall of the semicircular groove of the hollow roller 2082, and hot air is blown to the large-bundle strands, which plays a role in drying and auxiliary shaping of the large-bundle strands.

[0055] The inner ring center of the disk ring 2091 is located on the central axis of the guide structure 208. The inner wall of the disk ring 2091 is provided with an air intake hole. The hot air discharged from the air outlet hole opened by the hollow roller 2082 escapes, and part of the residual hot air is recovered through the disk ring 2091, the hollow platform 2092 and the straight pipe 2093, and flows back to the top pipeline of the air pump device 202 through the air collecting structure 209.

[0056] The above-mentioned structure can spray hot gas and recover waste heat to reduce heat energy loss.

[0057] The guide structure 208 and the frame plate 207 are rotatably arranged, and the connecting tube 210 and the air guide tube 211 are rotatably arranged. When the large-bundle strands are guided and transported, the large-bundle strands drive the guide structure 208 and the connecting tube 210 to rotate. At this time, there is rolling friction between the large-bundle strands and the semicircular grooves of the hollow roller 2082, which can reduce the external friction loss of the large-bundle strands.

[0058] For example: Figure 4 , Figure 5 The air-permeable gasket 115 shown in the figure is in the initial state. The stepper motor 108 is started to drive the shaft cylinder 106 disposed at the front end to rotate, forming the following Fig.23 The deflection state of the breathable gasket 115 shown is set by the PLC controller to rotate the stepper motor 108 forward and reversely, so as to realize the reciprocating rotation of the breathable gasket 115 in the above-mentioned initial state and deflection state, and perform circular rotating hot air drying and shaping of the large-bundle strands, thereby improving the drying and shaping efficiency of the outside of the large-bundle strands.

[0059] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
