Description

Technical Field

[0002] Carbon nanotubes are highly favored due to their unique structure and excellent electrical, optical, chemical, and thermodynamic properties. Carbon nanotubes are small in size, have a very large specific surface area and aspect ratio. Coupled with the strong electrostatic and van der Waals forces between carbon nanotubes, carbon nanotubes are extremely prone to agglomeration or entanglement. The agglomeration or entanglement of carbon nanotubes causes a decrease in the electrical and mechanical properties of carbon nanotube-reinforced composites. In order to exert the excellent properties of carbon nanotubes, it is necessary to disperse them.

[0003] The dispersion methods of carbon nanotubes mainly include mechanical dispersion methods and chemical dispersion methods. Chemical dispersion methods include surface chemical covalent modification dispersion methods and non-covalent modification dispersion methods with surfactants. The mechanical dispersion method mainly uses a stirring method, that is, a dispersion liquid is added to carbon nanotubes, and the shear stress of the dispersion liquid is used to break up the carbon nanotubes.

Detailed implementation manners

[0032] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0033] Referring to the attached drawings of the specification Figures 1-10 A carbon nanotube preparation and dispersion device includes a housing 1, a stirrer is arranged on the housing 1, the stirrer includes a conical container 2, and the carbon nanotubes are stirred and dispersed in the conical container 2; a dispersion cylinder 3 is installed inside the housing 1, a flexible dispersion net 4 is fixedly arranged inside the dispersion cylinder 3, the bottom of the flexible dispersion net 4 is fixedly connected with a sealing plate 5, the sealing plate 5 is vertically slidably connected with the inner side wall of the dispersion cylinder 3, the upper part of the flexible dispersion net 4 is the upper chamber 31, and the space between the flexible dispersion net 4 and the sealing plate 5 is the lower chamber 32. The dispersion device further includes a circulation assembly 100, and the circulation assembly 100 circulates the carbon nanotubes among the conical container 2, the upper chamber 31 and the upper chamber 31; a pressure rod 6 is arranged directly above the flexible dispersion net 4, and a drive assembly 7 is arranged inside the housing 1, and the drive assembly 7 is used to drive the pressure rod 6 to move vertically and rotate; a lower pull assembly 9 is arranged directly below the flexible dispersion net 4, and the lower pull assembly 9 is used to pull the middle part of the flexible dispersion net 4 downward, so that the agglomerated carbon nanotubes are concentrated towards the middle part of the flexible dispersion net 4, so that the pressure rod 6 can press the agglomerated carbon nanotubes.

[0034] In the above technical solution, the stirrer is a magnetic stirrer, the flexible dispersion net 4 is made of rubber, and holes are formed thereon. The holes can be formed by inserting small sections of metal thin tubes on the flexible dispersion net 4, which can ensure that the carbon nanotubes pass through.

[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 andFigure 5 As shown, the circulation component 100 includes a first water pump 101 and a second water pump 102. The input end of the first water pump 101 is communicated with one side of the bottom of the conical container 2, the output end of the first water pump 101 is communicated with the upper cavity 31, the input end of the second water pump 102 is communicated with the lower cavity 32, and the output end of the second water pump 102 is communicated with the inside of the conical container 2.

[0036] It should be noted that through the arrangement of the first water pump 101 and the second water pump 102, the first water pump 101 pumps the carbon nanotubes from the conical container 2 into the upper cavity 31, and the second water pump 102 pumps the carbon nanotubes from the lower cavity 32 into the conical container 2.

[0037] In this embodiment, as Figures 4-7 shown, the driving component 7 includes a driving frame 71. The pressing rod 6 is installed at the bottom of the driving frame 71. A plug shaft 73 is vertically and slidably inserted into the inside of the driving frame 71. A first rotary driving component 72 is fixedly installed at the top inside the housing 1. The output shaft of the first rotary driving component 72 is fixedly connected to the plug shaft 73.

[0038] Furthermore, a linear driving component 74 is fixedly installed inside the housing 1. The output end of the linear driving component 74 is fixedly installed with a dial rod 75. An annular groove 711 is provided on the driving frame 71. One end of the dial rod 75 is movably inserted into the annular groove 711.

[0039] It should be noted that the first rotary driving component 72 is a motor, the linear driving component 74 is a first electric telescopic rod. The plug shaft 73 is slidably connected to the driving frame 71 through splines. The first rotary driving component 72 can drive the driving frame 71 to rotate through the plug shaft 73, so that the driving frame 71 drives the pressing rod 6 to rotate.

[0040] In this embodiment, the pulling-down component 9 can adopt a single second electric telescopic rod. Its fixed end is installed on the housing 1, and its movable end is connected to the middle of the flexible dispersion net 4.

[0041] In this embodiment, the implementation method is as follows: First, carbon nanotubes and a dispersion solution are added into the conical container 2 and stirred to disperse the carbon nanotubes. Since the conical container 2 is conical, during the stirring process, the agglomerated carbon nanotubes will gather at the edge position of the bottom of the conical container 2. The connection between the input end of the first water pump 101 and the conical container 2 is also located at the edge position of the bottom of the conical container 2. Therefore, under the action of the first water pump 101, the agglomerated carbon nanotubes will be pumped into the upper cavity 31. The unagglomerated carbon nanotubes flow downward into the lower cavity 32 through the flexible dispersion net 4 and are then pumped back into the conical container 2 by the second water pump 102 to complete the cycle. Then, the middle part of the flexible dispersion net 4 is pulled downward by the pulling-down assembly 9. The purpose is to make the agglomerated carbon nanotubes concentrate in the middle of the flexible dispersion net 4. The pulling-down assembly 9 can be used to pull downward repeatedly to make the flexible dispersion net 4 vibrate multiple times, so that the agglomerated carbon nanotubes can quickly concentrate in the middle. Finally, the first rotation driving component 72 drives the driving frame 71 and the pressing rod 6 to rotate through the insertion shaft 73, and the linear driving component 74 drives the driving frame 71 to move downward through the lever 75, so that the bottom of the pressing rod 6 presses the position where the agglomerated carbon nanotubes in the middle of the flexible dispersion net 4 are concentrated, thereby dispersing the agglomerated carbon nanotubes. After the dispersion is completed, the linear driving component 74 drives the driving frame 71 and the pressing rod 6 to move upward, and the pulling-down assembly 9 drives the middle part of the flexible dispersion net 4 to move upward to restore its shape. During the process of stirring and dispersing the carbon nanotubes, the pressing rod 6 is repeatedly used to press the agglomerated carbon nanotubes to make the dispersion of the carbon nanotubes more thorough.

[0042] Through the settings of the flexible dispersion net 4, the pressing rod 6, the driving assembly 7 and the pulling-down assembly 9, in the process of stirring and dispersing, the agglomerated carbon nanotubes are concentrated in the middle of the flexible dispersion net 4 and then pressed to be dispersed. On the one hand, the dispersion speed of the carbon nanotubes is accelerated and the dispersion effect is improved. On the other hand, the agglomerated carbon nanotubes will not remain on the flexible dispersion net 4, and the dispersion effect is better.

[0043] In the above technical solution, as Figure 5 shown, the flexible dispersion net 4 includes a blind-hole area 41 and a perforated area 42. The blind-hole area 41 is located in the middle of the flexible dispersion net 4 and is directly opposite to the pressing rod 6. The part outside the blind-hole area 41 is the perforated area 42. The carbon nanotubes in the upper cavity 31 flow downward into the lower cavity 32 through the perforated area 42.

[0044] It should be noted that the flexible dispersion net 4 is divided into two parts: the blind-hole area 41 and the perforated area 42. When pressing the agglomerated carbon nanotubes, the agglomerated carbon nanotubes are concentrated in the area of the blind-hole area 41, and there are no holes in the area of the blind-hole area 41. Therefore, the problem that the agglomerated carbon nanotubes enter the holes and are difficult to discharge can be prevented.

[0045] Refer to the attached drawings of the specification Figures 2-8, after the agglomerated carbon nanotubes are crushed, they have strong viscosity and are likely to stick in the area of the blind hole area 41, and the dispersion speed is limited. Therefore, an eccentric adjustment component 8 is designed. Specifically, an eccentric adjustment component 8 is arranged on one side of the driving component 7. The eccentric adjustment component 8 includes a screw rod 81. The screw rod 81 is horizontally rotatably connected to the bottom of the driving frame 71. The upper end of the pressing rod 6 is in threaded transmission connection with the screw rod 81. A slot 811 is opened at one end of the screw rod 81. A rotary driving component two 82 is installed inside the housing 1. The output end of the rotary driving component two 82 is fixedly installed with a flat shaft 821. The flat shaft 821 is inserted into the slot 811.

[0046] It should be noted that the rotary driving component two 82 uses a reduction motor. As Figure 7 shown, the flat shaft 821 has a flat structure, that is, the upper and lower surfaces are flat. The flat shaft 821 is inserted into the slot 811. In this way, the rotary driving component two 82 can drive the screw rod 81 to rotate through the flat shaft 821, and the screw rod 81 drives the pressing rod 6 to reciprocate. Among them, the upper end of the pressing rod 6 is slidably connected to the driving frame 71. When the slot 811 is in a horizontal state, when the driving frame 71 rotates, the flat shaft 821 can move out of the slot 811.

[0047] Taking Figure 7 the state shown as the initial state for description. In Figure 7 , the flat shaft 821 is located inside the slot 811, and the pressing rod 6 and the insertion shaft 73 are coaxial, as shown in Figure 9 ① in. First, it is necessary to crush the agglomerated carbon nanotubes. The rotary driving component one 72 drives the driving frame 71 and the pressing rod 6 to rotate, so that the flat shaft 821 moves out of the slot 811. Then the linear driving component 74 drives the pressing rod 6 to move downward to crush the agglomerated carbon nanotubes. At this time, the crushed carbon nanotubes stick in the area of the blind hole area 41, as shown in Figure 9 ② in. Then the linear driving component 74 drives the driving frame 71 and the pressing rod 6 to move upward, and then drives the driving frame 71 to rotate through the rotary driving component one 72, so that the flat shaft 821 enters the inside of the slot 811. The rotary driving component two 82 drives the screw rod 81 to rotate, so that the pressing rod 6 moves, resulting in the non - coaxiality of the pressing rod 6 and the insertion shaft 73. Then make the flat shaft 821 move out of the slot 811 again and make the pressing rod 6 move downward to contact the flexible dispersion net 4 released by the pulling - down component 9. The rotary driving component one 72 drives the driving frame 71 to rotate, and the pressing rod 6 rotates eccentrically in contact with the flexible dispersion net 4, so that there is a smoothing action between the pressing rod 6 and the flexible dispersion net 4. In this way, the sticky carbon nanotubes can be smeared and dispersed, as shown in Figure 9 ③ in, and then flow downward into the lower cavity 32 from the area of the perforated area 42.

[0048] In the above technical solution, through the setting of the eccentric adjustment component 8, the pressure rod 6 can be adjusted between being coaxial and non - coaxial with the insertion shaft 73. When they are coaxial, the agglomerated carbon nanotubes can be pressed and dispersed downward in the area of the blind hole area 41. When they are non - coaxial, its eccentric rotation can gradually smooth the viscous carbon nanotubes on the flexible dispersion net 4, and flow out from the perforated area 42 together with the normal carbon nanotubes, improving the dispersion speed by avoiding viscosity.

[0049] Refer to the attached drawings of the specification Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 Figure 8 Here, another specific structural form of the dropdown component 9 is provided. Specifically, the dropdown component 9 includes a dropdown frame 91, the dropdown frame 91 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the blind hole area 41. On both sides of the lower part of the dropdown frame 91, fixing blocks 92 are fixedly connected. One side of the fixing block 92 has an inclined surface 921. A rotary drive component three 93 is arranged below the dropdown frame 91. The output end of the rotary drive component three 93 is fixedly connected with a connecting rod plate 94. On both sides of the connecting rod plate 94, dropdown rods 95 are fixedly connected. The upper ends of the dropdown rods 95 are located on one side of the inclined surface 921. An elastic component 96 is pressed between the dropdown frame 91 and the connecting rod plate 94.

[0050] Further, the upper end of the dropdown rod 95 has a sphere 951, and the upper surface of the fixing block 92 has several convex blocks 922 arranged along the arc direction. The sphere 951 contacts the convex blocks 922 in sequence after moving along the inclined surface 921 to the upper surface of the fixing block 92.

[0051] Still further, a vertical groove 90 is opened on the dropdown frame 91, and a guide rod 97 is movably inserted into the interior of the vertical groove 90. The guide rod 97 is fixedly connected with the sealing plate 5.

[0052] When the flexible dispersion net 4 is not pulled down, the sphere 951 is located at the position shown in Figure 8 , that is, the lower side of the inclined surface 921. When it is necessary to pull down the blind hole area 41, the rotary drive component three 93 drives the connecting rod plate 94 and the dropdown rods 95 to rotate. The sphere 951 slides upward along the inclined surface 921. During this process, the dropdown frame 91 is pulled downward, and the elastic component 96 is compressed. In this way, the purpose of pulling down the blind hole area 41 is achieved. When the sphere 951 moves to the upper surface of the fixing block 92, it contacts the convex blocks 922. During this process, the fixing block 92 vibrates continuously, thereby driving the flexible dispersion net 4 to vibrate, and shaking the agglomerated carbon nanotubes to the position of the blind hole area 41. When it is necessary to release the blind hole area 41, the rotary drive component three 93 drives the sphere 951 to reverse to the position shown in Figure 8 . Among them, the rotary drive component three 93 is a motor, the elastic component 96 is a compression spring, and the purpose of setting the guide rod 97 is to prevent the dropdown frame 91 from rotating.

[0053] Refer to the attached description Figure 10 This embodiment also provides a method for preparing and dispersing carbon nanotubes. Using the above-mentioned carbon nanotube preparation and dispersion device, it includes the following steps:

[0054] Step 1: Add carbon nanotubes and a dispersion solution into the conical container 2 and stir them;

[0055] Step 2: Through the circulation component 100, suck the agglomerated carbon nanotubes gathered at the bottom of the conical container 2 into the upper cavity 31;

[0056] Step 3: Use the dropdown component 9 to pull down the middle part of the flexible dispersion net 4, so that the agglomerated carbon nanotubes are concentrated towards the middle part of the flexible dispersion net 4;

[0057] Step 4: Drive the pressure rod 6 to move downward and rotate through the driving component 7, so that the pressure rod 6 presses down the agglomerated carbon nanotubes.

[0058] Finally: The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
