Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, specifically to a clean and efficient cleaning device and operating method for spandex production. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional cleaning equipment involves placing the workpieces to be cleaned (such as components, spinnerets, and filter elements) into a cleaning tank, adding the solvent DMAC, and heating to approximately 120°C for immersion or low-flow circulation cleaning. After cleaning, the tank needs to be opened and the workpieces removed. At this point, the temperature has not yet fully cooled to room temperature, and due to the material and shape of the workpieces, a significant amount of DMAC may remain, carried out of the tank and volatilizing into the workshop environment. Furthermore, because the workpieces need to be moved, it is difficult to install environmental control facilities such as exhaust hoods, often resulting in a large amount of DMAC volatilizing into the cleaning room air in a short period, causing concentrations to exceed standards and posing environmental and occupational health hazards. Even after ventilation, the contaminated indoor air discharged from the cleaning room still requires further purification before being released into the atmosphere. The difficulty and cost of treatment increase significantly after dilution by room air. If further water washing is performed in the original cleaning tank, waste solvent and wastewater will mix, resulting in inconsistent discharge destinations requiring manual operation. In case of operational errors, this can lead to accidents involving the mixing of wastewater and waste solvent, causing anything from malfunctions in solvent refining to the complete shutdown of the wastewater treatment plant.

[0054] Step 4: Operation logic of the V9 on / off valve's exhaust condenser cooling water supply valve:

[0055] The opening command uses OR logic, and the equipment remains open when any tank issues an opening command;

[0056] The shutdown command uses AND logic; the equipment will only shut down when all cleaning tank operation commands are closed.

[0057] Step 5: Circulation Pump Operation Logic

[0058] The pump must be in automatic mode; if in manual mode, the pump can only be started and stopped manually and is not automatically controlled by the program.

[0059] Either the V1-5 circulation valve or the V1-7 discharge valve must be in the open position;

[0060] When both the V1-5 circulation valve and the V1-7 discharge valve are closed, the circulation pump will stop after 3 seconds.

[0061] An emergency stop button is provided for the circulating pump. Pressing it will stop the pump motor. Manual reset is required to resume operation.

[0062] Step 6: Interlocking

[0063] I0, tank level high H1 (from level transmitter LT), close V1-1 switch valve, V1-2 feed valve;

[0064] I1. When the tank level is high (H2, from the level transmitter LT) or HH (from the level switch LS), close the V1-1 switch valve, V1-2 feed valve, V1-3 steam valve, V1-5 circulation valve, V1-6 discharge valve, and V1-8 switch valve, and start the DMAC waste solution discharge procedure B.

[0065] I2, Tank level is low L1 (from level transmitter LT), shut off the drain pump, and shut off the V1-7 drain valve and V1-8 switch valve;

[0066] I3, Temperature is high (HH), close the steam supply valve, open the V9 switch valve and the V1-4 switch valve;

[0067] Step 7, Other

[0068] The control system's initial interface is the interface for selecting the cleaning tank.

[0069] The program logic is configured such that when the DMAC cleaning program is called, the water washing and drainage modules are disabled, and the water valve cannot be opened.

[0070] The DMAC cleaning and drainage module interface and the water washing and drainage module are set on two separate operation interfaces. You need to switch between the interfaces to click to run, which prevents accidental operation.

[0071] Set up audible and visual alarms for high liquid levels and high temperatures to remind operators to verify and inspect the site and deal with any problems promptly.

[0072] This invention, while adhering to the basic cleaning process, adds inlet and outlet water pipelines to the cleaning tank and installs switching valves on all inlet and outlet pipelines. A PLC program controls the opening and closing sequence of these valves, achieving fully automated operation of all cleaning steps except for workpiece placement and removal. Furthermore, without opening the tank or removing the workpiece, a water rinsing step is introduced within the same cleaning tank following DMAC solvent cleaning. Utilizing the infinite miscibility of DMAC with water, residual DMAC in the workpiece is effectively removed by water rinsing, simultaneously cooling the workpiece. This prevents DMAC from evaporating into the workshop environment and polluting the air when the tank is opened. The wastewater containing DMAC after cleaning is sent to a purification system for recovery if the concentration is high, and directly to a wastewater treatment plant if the concentration is low, depending on the concentration.

[0073] The features of this invention are as follows: 1. A water washing step is embedded in the same tank, eliminating the need to remove the workpiece for re-washing after the solvent cleaning step, thus avoiding the problem of DMAC volatilization and air pollution caused by workpiece removal; 2. The cleaning process is automated through PLC program control, and the program and interlocks prevent potential production or environmental accidents caused by performing solvent cleaning and water washing in the same tank; 3. The automated operation of the cleaning step reduces the workload of the operator; 4. By using a high-flow circulation pump and a unique design of the pump inlet and outlet pipelines, the effect of circulation rinsing is improved, which can reduce the time required for workpiece cleaning and further improve operational efficiency.

[0074] The control panel allows for the setup of automatic operation modules for solvent cleaning, solvent discharge, water washing, and wastewater discharge. Preset operating conditions are available, and operators can manually change these conditions before starting if needed. After the workpiece is hoisted and capped, the operator selects the corresponding cleaning tank on the PLC touchscreen interface to initiate the program. The PLC sequentially controls the on / off operation of each automatic valve (feed, circulation, discharge, and exhaust valve) and the circulation (discharge) pump, ensuring coordinated operation and completing the cleaning process. Interlocking of valves and pumps ensures safety and prevents production or environmental accidents.

[0075] This invention relates to a clean and efficient cleaning device and operating method for spandex production, which, compared with existing technologies,

[0076] 1. It completely eliminates the environmental pollution caused by the large amount of DMAC volatilization generated when the workpiece is lifted out after cleaning during the component cleaning process, and reduces the subsequent collection and disposal costs caused by air pollution.

[0077] 2. The PLC enables the programming and automation of the cleaning process, reducing the workload of operators and improving the consistency of cleaning results.

[0078] 3. It eliminates the potential production or environmental accidents caused by using the same tank for solvent and water washing.

[0079] 4. A high-flow-rate circulating pump and a specially designed inlet / outlet position are adopted, which allows the cleaning liquid to exert a strong scouring effect on the workpiece during the cleaning process, further enhancing the cleaning effect and improving the cleaning operation efficiency.
