Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of carbon fiber recycling, and in particular to a carbon fiber recycling method and device. Background Art
[0002] Carbon fiber is widely used in aerospace, military, new energy and other fields due to its high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, high strength and lightweight. In the process of carbon fiber production and subsequent processing, it is inevitable to waste carbon fiber. For example, it is inevitable to produce floating carbon fiber fibers during oxidation, low-temperature carbonization, drying and other processes. When these carbon fiber fibers float in the workshop, they are entangled on moving equipment, causing frequent equipment failures or even damage. They fall into electrical equipment, causing failures such as electrical equipment failure and damage. Long-term inhalation by the human body causes serious organ damage. The industry is currently vigorously developing carbon fiber recycling technology and equipment. These carbon fibers still have good mechanical properties after recycling and can be used in occasions with relatively low requirements. The recycling of carbon fiber can effectively reduce resource waste and environmental pollution. Summary of the invention

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technical personnel in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0023] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 , the present invention provides a technical solution:
[0024] The present invention provides a carbon fiber recovery device, comprising a collector 1, an air intake pipe 4 is arranged on the side of the collector 1, and a wire collecting cover 5 is arranged at the end of the air intake pipe 4.
[0025] The wire collecting cover 5 can be set in multiple places according to the needs of the workshop itself. The top of the collector 1 is provided with an air outlet, which is connected to the air outlet pipe 6. The air outlet pipe 6 is connected to the pulse jet system, and the other end of the air outlet pipe 6 can be connected to the exhaust gas treatment system or the fan to form an independent carbon wire collection system.
[0026] The pulse jet system 011 consists of a pulse control valve 0111, a steam drum 0110, a fixed plate 0112, a pulse air inlet 0113 and a pulse air inlet pipe 0114.
[0027] The pulse control valve 0111 is controlled by a pulse controller. After the differential pressure detection on the inner and outer walls of the filter cartridge 7 gives a signal, the pulse controller controls the pulse control valve 0111 to open, so that the compressed air enters the pulse air inlet pipe 0114 from the air inlet. The air inlet end of the pulse air inlet pipe 0114 is connected to the pulse air inlet 0113, and the air outlet of the pulse air inlet pipe 0114 faces the center of the filter cartridge 7. Under the control of the pulse controller, the compressed air is instantly sprayed into the center of the filter cartridge 7.
[0028] The present invention provides a specific implementation scheme: a pulse control valve 0111 is arranged outside the steam drum 0110, fixed plates 0112 are arranged at both ends, a pulse air inlet 0113 is arranged inside, and the pulse air inlet 0113 is connected to a pulse air inlet pipe 0114.
[0029] The present invention provides a specific implementation scheme: the filter cartridge 7 is composed of a filter cartridge fixing plate 070, a filter cartridge body 071, and a filter cartridge sealing cover 072. The top of the filter cartridge 7 is connected to the filter cartridge fixing plate 070, and the bottom of the filter cartridge 7 is connected to the filter cartridge sealing cover 072. The filter cartridge fixing plate 070 is a metal plate with a central opening, and the size of the opening is consistent with the inner size of the filter cartridge body 071. The filter cartridge fixing plate 070 is connected to the fixed slide plate 9. When installing the filter cartridge, align the fixed slide plate 9 with the filter cartridge fixing plate 070, and push the filter cartridge 7 in to complete the installation. A differential pressure detection device is provided on the inner and outer walls of the filter cartridge 7.
[0030] In the present invention, the pulse controller can adopt two control modes, namely, timed injection and constant pressure difference injection, when working, which can be determined according to the on-site environment.
[0031] When the on-site environment is complex and there are many floating carbon fiber fibers, a constant pressure difference injection form is adopted. After the start-up delay countdown ends, the constant pressure difference injection cycle determines whether the pressure difference value is greater than the set "pressure difference injection start value". If it is greater, a round of injection begins. After a round of injection, determine whether the pressure difference change value is greater than the set "pressure difference injection return difference value". If it is less than this value, continue to spray for another round. If it is greater than this value, stop spraying and wait for the pressure difference value to be greater than the "pressure difference injection start value" again, and then start the next round of injection. This is done by analogy to prevent a large amount of floating carbon fiber fibers from being adsorbed on the outer wall of the filter cartridge in a short period of time, which affects the filtration effect.
[0032] For simple and clean environments with fewer carbon fiber floating fibers on site, timed injection can be used. After the timed injection start-up delay countdown ends, a round of injection begins.
[0033] After one round of spraying, the cycle timing starts. When the cycle timing reaches the set cycle time, the next round of spraying starts, and so on.
[0034] The present invention provides a specific implementation scheme: the filter cartridge sealing cover 072 is a closed circular plate, fixed to the bottom of the filter cartridge 7, and a filter cartridge structure with one side open is formed through the cooperation of the filter cartridge fixing plate 070, the filter cartridge body 071 and the filter cartridge sealing cover 072. The fixed slide plate 9 is fixed to the filter cartridge sealing cover 072, and the fixed slide plate 9 is an angle steel welded according to the size of the filter cartridge fixing plate 070, forming a channel that allows the filter cartridge 7 to be installed and removed by sliding.
[0035] The present invention provides a specific implementation scheme: the upper part of the collector 1 is a rectangular shell for installing the filter cartridge and the air intake pipe controlled by the pulse controller, and the lower part is a conical shell so that the carbon filaments that are shaken off can be collected into the wire collection barrel 3 at the bottom of the conical shell. The wire collection barrel 3 is a container for collecting the adsorbed floating carbon filaments. The upper opening of the wire collection barrel 3 is provided with a flange, which is connected to the end flange of the conical shell at the lower part of the collector, so that a closed collection device is formed. The lower edge of the upper rectangular shell of the collector 3 is provided with a stopper and connected to the bracket 2.
[0036] The present invention provides a specific implementation scheme: the port area of the wire collecting cover 5 is related to the air volume, and the overall wind speed passing through the wire collecting cover needs to be maintained at 1-10m / s, that is, the more wire collecting covers 5 are set, the greater the total required air volume.
[0037] The present invention provides a specific implementation scheme: a support plate 8 is provided between the filter cartridge 7 and the pulse jet system.
[0038] The present invention provides a specific implementation scheme: an inspection door 010 is provided on the collector 1 to facilitate maintenance by the staff.
[0039] The above-mentioned device sucks in the specific process of waste silk and discharges it into the collector 1. Under the action of the fan of the carbon fiber recovery device, the carbon filaments floating in the workshop generate an air flow with a certain flow rate inward in the opening direction of the wire collecting cover. The carbon filaments floating in the workshop are directionally sucked into the wire collecting cover with the air flow, and enter the pipeline with the wire collecting cover. Due to the action of the fan, the carbon filaments flow in the pipeline with a certain flow rate with the air flow, and finally enter the collection device body (collector). Under the filtration of the filter cartridge, the carbon filaments are adsorbed on the outer wall of the filter cartridge. As the pulse controller controls the compressed air blowing action, the carbon filaments fall downward into the wire collecting tube, thereby achieving the purpose of collecting the carbon filaments.
[0040] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Technical personnel in this industry should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only preferred examples of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.
