Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of chemical fiber production, specifically to a lint removal device for a fiber guide roller, and to a chemical fiber production equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Guide rollers are a critical component of chemical fiber production lines. If the fibers contain fuzz, it can easily become entangled on the guide rollers. The longer this continues, the more fuzz accumulates on the guide rollers, eventually causing the production line to stop once a certain amount of fuzz is formed. Currently, existing chemical fiber equipment does not have fuzz removal devices installed, making it impossible to handle fuzz online. This hinders continuous operation of the production line, affects production efficiency, and poses certain safety risks. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problem of guide rollers easily getting tangled with lint in the existing technology.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a lint removal device for a fiber guide roller, wherein the lint removal device includes a lint removal roller that can be mounted parallel to the guide roller on the frame where the guide roller is located, the outer peripheral surface of the lint removal roller can be configured to contact the outer peripheral surface of the guide roller, and the lint removal roller can be driven to rotate about its central axis to adhere to the filaments on the surface of the guide roller and carry the filaments away from the guide roller.

[0005] In some embodiments, the clearing roller is provided with a soft lint-adhesive feature.

[0006] In some embodiments, the lint removal device includes a second gear that is coaxially connected to the lint removal roller, the second gear being capable of engaging with the first gear.

[0007] In some embodiments, the lint removal device includes a turntable rotatably mounted on the frame, the turntable having a plurality of lint removal rollers arranged around a rotation axis of the turntable, the turntable being selectively rotatable to selectively contact the outer peripheral surfaces of different lint removal rollers with the outer peripheral surfaces of guide rollers.

[0008] In some embodiments, the lint removal device includes a cutter head disposed on the turntable and located between adjacent lint removal rollers, the cutting edge of the cutter head being parallel to the central axis of the guide roller.

[0009] In some embodiments, the distance between the cutting edge of the cutter head and the axis of rotation of the turntable is less than the distance between the guide roller and the axis of rotation of the turntable.

[0022] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0023] This solution provides a lint removal device for a fiber guide roller, wherein the lint removal device includes a lint removal roller 6 that can be mounted parallel to the guide roller 2 on the frame 1 where the guide roller 2 is located. The outer peripheral surface of the lint removal roller 6 can be configured to contact the outer peripheral surface of the guide roller 2, and the lint removal roller 6 can be driven to rotate around its central axis to adhere to the filaments on the surface of the guide roller 2 and carry the filaments away from the guide roller 2.

[0024] Guide roller 2 can be mounted on frame 1 and is used to rotate and guide the transmission of fibers.

[0025] The cleaning roller 6 is mounted on the frame 1, parallel to the guide roller 2, and its outer circumferential surface is in contact with the outer circumferential surface of the guide roller 2. The cleaning roller 6 can adhere to filaments (e.g., fiber fuzz) remaining on the guide roller. When the cleaning roller 6 is driven to rotate around its own central axis, the filaments adhered to the cleaning roller 6 can be pulled away from the guide roller 2, thereby cleaning the surface of the guide roller 2, preventing the accumulation of filaments on the surface of the guide roller 2, and preventing the guide roller 2 from getting stuck due to excessive fiber winding.

[0026] In this solution, by installing a cleaning roller near the guide roller, the filaments on the surface of the guide roller can be cleaned, preventing the accumulation of filaments from affecting the normal rotation of the guide roller, ensuring the normal operation of the guide roller, and improving production efficiency.

[0027] The cleaning roller 6 is equipped with a soft lint-adhesive material. The outer circumferential surface of the cleaning roller 6 is covered with this soft lint-adhesive material, which can adhere to lint fibers without causing scratches to the guide roller 2. A tubular sleeve for the soft lint-adhesive material can be manufactured for detachable installation and easy replacement.

[0028] Additionally, the lint-removing device includes a first gear 8 coaxially connected to the guide roller and a second gear 5 coaxially connected to the cleaning roller 6. The second gear 5 meshes with the first gear 8. The guide roller 2 is driven to rotate by other driving components. The first gear 8 is coaxially fixedly connected to the end of the guide roller 2 for synchronous rotation, and the second gear 5 is coaxially fixedly connected to the end of the cleaning roller 6 for synchronous rotation. The second gear 5 meshes with the first gear 8 to drive the cleaning roller 6 to rotate via the guide roller 2. The transmission ratio of the first gear 8 and the second gear 5 can be set such that the guide roller 2 and the cleaning roller 6 have a linear velocity difference at the contact position.

[0029] Additionally, the lint-removing device includes a turntable 4 rotatably mounted on the frame 1. The turntable 4 is equipped with a plurality of lint-removing rollers 6 and a plurality of second gears 5 arranged around its rotation axis. The turntable 4 can selectively rotate to selectively engage different second gears 5 with the first gear 8, thereby selecting different outer circumferential surfaces of the lint-removing rollers 6 to contact the outer circumferential surfaces of the guide rollers. The central axes of the plurality of lint-removing rollers 6 are located on the same circle along the rotation axis of the turntable 4, ensuring that each lint-removing roller 6 can contact the outer circumferential surface of the guide roller 2 when the turntable 4 rotates to different angles. Each lint-removing roller 6 has a second gear 5 at its end. As the turntable 4 rotates, the lint-removing roller 6 that was previously in contact with the guide roller 2 disengages, and the second gear 5 also disengages from the first gear 8. An adjacent lint-removing roller 6 then begins to contact the guide roller 2, and its coaxially connected second gear 5 also engages with the first gear 8, thereby driving the new lint-removing roller 6 to rotate via the guide roller 2. Online cleaning can be achieved by replacing different cleaning rollers 6 to clean the guide roller 2. For example, it can be removed from the turntable 4 to replace with a new cleaning roller 6, or the soft lint on it can be replaced. Figure 1 As shown, only one clearing roller 6 is shown. Those skilled in the art will understand how to arrange multiple clearing rollers 6 on the turntable 4, and Figure 1 Only one turntable 4 is shown in the figure. Based on this, it can be imagined that another turntable 4 can be set at the other end of the clearing roller 6 to support the other end of the clearing roller 6.

[0030] Additionally, the lint-removing device includes a cutter head 7 disposed on the turntable 4 and located between adjacent lint-removing rollers 6, the blade of the cutter head 7 being parallel to the central axis of the guide roller. (Reference) Figure 2 As shown, a cutter head 7 is provided between two adjacent clearing rollers 6, which extends along the length of the clearing roller 6. In particular, its blade is parallel to the central axis of the clearing roller 6, i.e. the central axis of the guide roller 2, so that when the turntable 4 rotates, the blade can rotate along the axis of the clearing roller 6, thereby cutting off the fuzz between the clearing roller 6 and the guide roller 2.

[0031] Furthermore, the distance between the cutting edge of the cutter head 7 and the rotation axis of the turntable 4 is less than the distance between the guide roller 2 and the rotation axis of the turntable 4. The distance between the guide roller 2 and the rotation axis of the turntable 4 refers to the distance between the contact point of the guide roller 2 and the clearing roller 6 and the rotation axis of the turntable 4. This distance is greater than the distance between the cutting edge of the cutter head 7 and the rotation axis of the turntable 4 to ensure a gap exists between the cutting edge and the guide roller 2, avoiding motion interference.

[0032] In addition, the turntable 4 is connected to a rotating handle 3. By operating the rotating handle 3, the turntable 4 can be manually driven to rotate, so as to replace the cleaning roller 6 that is in contact with the guide roller 2, which facilitates the cleaning roller 6 with lint adhering to it to be cleaned or replaced.

[0033] Furthermore, the rotating handle 3 is tractively connected to a drive unit controlled by a control element. The control element can be a microcontroller, a programmable logic controller (PLC), etc., which can control the operation of the drive unit (e.g., a motor) to drive the rotating handle 3 to rotate, thereby allowing the wire clearing roller 6 to be replaced as needed.

[0034] In other embodiments, the lint removal device includes a motor that is driveably connected to the lint removal roller 6. That is, a motor or other driving device can also be used to power the rotation of the lint removal roller 6, allowing it to rotate relative to the guide roller 2 to achieve cleaning. It should be understood that the lint removal roller 6 needs to rotate at a certain linear speed to adhere to and pull the lint on the guide roller 2.

[0035] On the other hand, this solution also provides a chemical fiber production equipment, wherein the chemical fiber production equipment includes a frame 1, a guide roller 2 rotatably mounted on the frame 1, and a filament clearing device for the guide roller as described in the above solution. The filament clearing roller 6 is mounted parallel to the guide roller 2 and keeps in contact with the guide roller 2, so that it can be driven to clean the filaments on the surface of the guide roller 2.

[0036] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings; however, the present invention is not limited thereto. Within the scope of the inventive concept, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, including combinations of various specific technical features in any suitable manner. To avoid unnecessary repetition, the present invention will not describe the various possible combinations separately. However, these simple modifications and combinations should also be considered as the content disclosed in the present invention and are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
