Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of fiber raw material drying treatment, in particular to a drying device and method for preparing flat ES fiber. BACKGROUND

[0002] The drying treatment of flat ES fiber raw material is a key step to ensure fiber quality and production stability. Since the polymer chip is prone to absorb moisture during storage and transportation, if it is directly put into the high-temperature extrusion stage without drying, the moisture will quickly vaporize to form steam bubbles, causing uneven melt and triggering the hydrolytic degradation of molecular chains, which seriously affects the mechanical properties of the fiber. Therefore, a scientific and reasonable drying process must be used to remove the moisture in the raw material. The commonly used drying methods include hot air circulation drying and vacuum drying. The former uses dry air to continuously remove moisture by controlling appropriate temperature and humidity, ensuring uniform drying of the raw material. The latter realizes efficient water evaporation at a lower temperature by reducing the environmental pressure, reducing the degradation risk of heat-sensitive materials. During the drying process, the temperature, time and air flow rate should be reasonably adjusted to ensure that the moisture is completely removed, while avoiding excessive temperature causing thermal degradation of the material. After drying, the raw material needs to be sealed and stored in time to prevent re-moisture absorption and contamination;

[0003] As disclosed in the application publication No. CN117906367A, a kind of polyamide 6 fiber preparation with raw material drying device and its drying method, including drying oven, the front and rear sides of the top middle part of the drying oven are fixedly connected with feed inlet, the top of the drying oven is provided with air inlet on the left and right sides in matrix, the top of the inner cavity of the drying oven is fixedly connected with oil cylinder, the bottom of the output shaft of the oil cylinder is fixedly installed with fixed guide rail, by the adjusting effect of the turning component, by adjusting the turning shovel to vertical state, and relying on the input hot air realizes material drying, and the power of air realizes the relative departure of two turning shovels, the automatic paving of material is realized by the action of turning shovel, the whole process is automatically completed and can be carried out simultaneously with drying, avoid the problem that traditional device material appears to accumulate when drying affects drying effect, however, the above technical scheme is still gathered in drying oven in the process of use, polymer chip is usually in granular or flaky shape, when hot air circulation drying, due to gravity, chip raw material often naturally settles and gathers at the bottom or some areas of drying oven, forming dense accumulation, when hot air flows through drying oven, the first contact is the top material layer, this part of material can directly receive the heating and moisture evaporation of hot air, while the lower layer of material is covered by the upper layer of material, and the hot air is difficult to penetrate directly, resulting in blocked heat transfer, and the moisture is difficult to escape quickly, forming a drying dead angle, and the material is mixed violently in the moment of turning action of turning component, but during the action interval, the material is in static accumulation state again, and the amount of material that can be affected and exchanged by each turning is limited, and a considerable part of the material always stays in the core area where the air flow cannot effectively penetrate, so that the final moisture content required by the process cannot be reached.

[0015] Preferably, three pulp plates are fixed on the outer circumferential surface of the rotating shaft at equal intervals.

[0016] The application also provides a drying method for preparing flat ES fibers using the drying device for preparing flat ES fibers.

[0017] S101: After confirming that the device is in good condition, start the device through the PLC control panel, and set the hot air supply temperature of the hot air supply assembly, the speed of the reduction motor, the working time of the device, and the opening and closing degree of the first flap material controller. A part of the rotary power of the reduction motor is directly transmitted to the belt bucket type material lifting assembly, and the other part of the rotary power of the reduction motor is transmitted to the double-position three-blade type bulk material assembly and the tube type ring spray assembly through the chain wheel type three-axis transmission assembly. At this time, the belt bucket type material lifting assembly starts to continuously scoop up the wet material from the vertical material lifting frame and convey it to the inlet at the top of the drying box through the inclined chute. The moment the material enters the drying box, the double-position three-blade type bulk material assembly at the top completely scatters the falling slice blocks, forming a uniform and dispersed waterfall-like material curtain.

[0018] S102: The tube type ring spray assembly sprays high-temperature dry hot air from multiple angles around the entire falling material curtain, ensuring that every slice is swept by high-speed airflow in all directions, and the moisture is instantly evaporated and taken away by the exhaust system.

[0019] S103: The dried material falls to the bottom of the drying box and is collected by the guide hopper. The first flap material controller accurately controls the discharge flow, and finally falls back into the vertical material lifting frame, completing a cycle. After that, the process of lifting, dispersing, spraying, and falling back repeats, realizing the cyclic drying of the material.

[0020] S104: After completing the drying of the material, turn off the first flap material controller and stop the work of the hot air supply assembly through the PLC control panel. The belt bucket type material lifting assembly conveys the last batch of material to the drying box and the guide hopper. Open the discharge valve and convey the high-quality dried slice with qualified moisture content to the downstream extruder hopper.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the flat ES fiber preparation drying device and method has the advantages that: the polymer chip raw material is continuously sent into the drying box by the vertical lifting frame, the bucket lifting assembly, the inclined chute, the double-position three-blade bulk material assembly, the hot air supply assembly, the column tube type ring spraying assembly, the guide hopper, the flap material controller I and the discharge valve, etc. The polymer chip raw material is first dispersed by the double-position three-blade bulk material assembly at the top of the drying box, and then the hot air flow is sent into the drying box through the column tube type ring spraying assembly by the hot air supply assembly, and the raw material at each position during the falling process is sprayed and dried by the column tube type ring spraying assembly. The dried raw material is again sent into the vertical lifting frame through the guide hopper and the flap material controller I, and is continuously and circularly sent back to the drying box for processing, so as to realize large-scale circulation drying of the material. The polymer chip is not accumulated in the drying box waiting for the hot air to pass through the surface, but is continuously lifted, dispersed, sprayed, collected and recycled, thereby forming a closed continuous processing flow. The drying is uniform and thorough, and all the polymer chip raw materials can reach and stabilize at the extremely low water content required by the process, effectively ensuring the stability of the subsequent melt viscosity and excellent die spinnability. The mechanical properties, such as strength and elongation, of the finally produced ES fiber are more consistent and reliable.

[0022] The polymer chip raw material is continuously transported to the drying box by the bucket lifting assembly and the inclined chute, realizing continuous feeding and circulation processing of the material. The continuous circulation of the material flow effectively avoids the static accumulation of the raw material in the drying box, reduces the problem of difficult penetration of hot air and drying dead angle caused by accumulation. The raw material is exposed to the hot air environment in continuous motion, promoting uniform evaporation of water, significantly improving the uniformity and efficiency of drying. The double-position three-blade bulk material assembly effectively disperses the polymer chip entering the drying box, preventing the raw material from forming lumps or thick layer accumulation at the inlet. The dispersed raw material is distributed in the drying box in a more uniform state. This "particle level" contact efficiency cannot be matched by any static stirring drying, greatly increasing the contact area of the raw material and the hot air, ensuring that the heat history and drying conditions received by each chip in the whole batch of material are almost completely consistent, thereby ensuring the extreme uniformity of the water content of the final product, and providing raw material with excellent consistency for subsequent spinning.

[0023] Secondly, the hot air supply assembly and the column tube type ring spraying assembly uniformly spray hot air to the raw material at each position during the falling process, realizing efficient use of hot air. In traditional drying processes, hot air is often concentrated in certain areas, leading to uneven drying. The column tube type ring spraying design can cover a wider space, ensuring that the raw material can receive the action of hot air in the entire falling path, thereby promoting rapid evaporation and removal of water, and improving the drying speed of the device.

[0024] Finally, through the cooperation of the material guide hopper and the flap control device one, the flow and flow direction of the material in the drying process are effectively controlled, the stable conveying and uniform distribution of the material in the circulation process are ensured, that is, the conveying speed of the material is adjusted according to the needs, the material is prevented from being too fast accumulated or too slow retained, the flow state of the material is further optimized, and the continuity of the drying process is further optimized, meanwhile, the material is repeatedly exposed to the hot air for multiple times, so that the moisture can be gradually evaporated and carried away, the re-dampening phenomenon caused by insufficient drying at one time is avoided, and the drying quality of the raw material is further ensured.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] Example 1, by Figures 1 to 7 The present invention provides a drying apparatus for preparing flat ES fibers, comprising a vertical lifting frame 1, a frame 2 disposed on one side of the vertical lifting frame 1, and a drying chamber 3 fixed to the top of the frame 2. A guide hopper 4 is installed at the lower end of the drying chamber 3. A flip-plate feeder 5 is installed on the outer wall of the guide hopper 4 near the vertical lifting frame 1, the outlet end of the flip-plate feeder 5 being connected to the right outer wall of the vertical lifting frame 1. An inclined feed channel 101, connected to the top inlet of the drying chamber 3, is installed on the upper right outer wall of the vertical lifting frame 1. The vertical lifting frame 1 is equipped with a bucket-type lifting assembly 7 that feeds materials into the inclined material channel 101. A geared motor 13 for driving the bucket-type lifting assembly 7 is installed on the lower back wall of the vertical lifting frame 1. The vertical lifting frame 1 has a compact structure and makes full use of vertical space. With the cooperation of the bucket-type lifting assembly 7, it realizes the vertical lifting and storage of raw materials. Thus, through the vertical design, the raw materials can be continuously and stably transported to the inlet of the drying box 3, avoiding material accumulation and blockage problems, and meeting the needs of large-scale repeated drying of materials.

[0040] The bottom end of the guide hopper 4 is provided with a discharging valve 6, and an exhaust pipe is installed on the back wall of the drying box 3 to facilitate the removal of moisture through the external exhaust system.

[0041] The double-position three-blade bulk material assembly 8 is arranged at an upper position inside the drying box 3, and a tubular ring spray assembly 9 is installed inside the drying box 3 below the double-position three-blade bulk material assembly 8. A hot air supply assembly 11 is installed on the back wall of the drying box 3 and is in communication with the air inlet end of the tubular ring spray assembly 9. A chain wheel three-shaft transmission assembly 10 is installed between the bucket-type material lifting assembly 7, the double-position three-blade bulk material assembly 8, and the tubular ring spray assembly 9 for power connection. A PLC control panel 12 is installed on one side of the surface of the guide hopper 4 and is electrically connected to the input end of the reduction motor 13, the hot air supply assembly 11, and the flap material controller 5.

[0042] An upwardly open feed inlet 102 is installed on the left outer wall of the vertical material lifting frame 1, and a flap material controller 103 is installed at the top opening position of the feed inlet 102.

The flap material controllers 103, 104, and 5 have the same structure, and the input end of the flap material controllers 103 and 104 is electrically connected to the output end of the PLC control panel 12. Workers pour the polymer chip raw material to be dried into the material storage tank 105, and workers control the closing state of the flap material controllers 104 and 103 through the reduction motor 13. When feeding, workers first open the flap material controller 104 to make it in the normally open state, and then the polymer chip raw material in the material storage tank 105 enters the flap material controller 104. Thereafter, the flap material controller 104 is in the normally closed state through the PLC control panel 12, and the flap material controller 103 is in the normally open state, so that the polymer chip raw material enters the vertical material lifting frame 1 through the flap material controller 103 and the feed inlet 102. At this time, the device is in a relatively closed state.

[0043] The flap material controller 5 includes an outer material tank 501 installed between the left outer wall of the guide hopper 4 and the right outer wall of the vertical material lifting frame 1, an inner guide material tank 502 fixed at the right side port of the outer material tank 501, and a stepping motor 503 installed on one side of the surface of the outer material tank 501. The drive shaft of the stepping motor 503 extends into the interior of the outer material tank 501 and is fixed with a gate 504. The input end of the stepping motor 503 is electrically connected to the output end of the PLC control panel 12.

[0044] Taking the plate control material ware 5 as an example, the polymer chip raw material in the guide hopper 4 enters the inner guide bung 502, at this time the gate plate 504 is pressed on the outlet end of the inner guide bung 502, the staff controls the step motor 503 to work through the speed reducer 13, the step motor 503 drives the gate plate 504 to overturn, and then the outlet end of the inner guide bung 502 is opened, at this time the guide hopper 4 and the vertical material lifting frame 1 are connected, and the smooth transition of the material is realized.

[0045] When discharging, the staff needs to control the plate control material ware 5 to close, so that the polymer chip raw material is retained in the drying box 3 and the guide hopper 4, then the discharge valve 6 is opened, and the dried material can be discharged.

[0046] The bucket type material lifting assembly 7 includes a lower multi-wedge roller 701, an upper multi-wedge roller 702 rotatably installed at upper and lower positions inside the vertical material lifting frame 1, and a multi-wedge belt 703 installed between the lower multi-wedge roller 701 and the upper multi-wedge roller 702, a plurality of bucket scoops 704 are equidistantly installed on the outer wall of the multi-wedge belt 703, the driving shaft of the speed reducer 13 is fixedly connected with one end of the lower multi-wedge roller 701, and the lower multi-wedge roller 701 transmits rotary power to the double-position three-blade material scattering assembly 8 and the column tube type ring spraying assembly 9 through the chain wheel type three-shaft transmission assembly 10.

[0047] The drying method for preparing the flat ES fiber of the embodiment uses the drying device for preparing the flat ES fiber described above, and includes the following steps:

[0048] S101: After confirming that the device is in good condition, the staff starts the device through the PLC control panel 12, sets the hot air supply temperature of the hot air supply assembly 11, the rotating speed of the speed reducer 13, the device working time, and the opening and closing degree of the plate control material ware 5, a part of the rotary power of the speed reducer 13 is directly transmitted to the bucket type material lifting assembly 7, and the chain wheel type three-shaft transmission assembly 10 also transmits another part of the rotary power of the speed reducer 13 to the double-position three-blade material scattering assembly 8 and the column tube type ring spraying assembly 9, at this time the bucket type material lifting assembly 7 starts to continuously scoop the wet material from the vertical material lifting frame 1, and the wet material is transported to the inlet at the top of the drying box 3 through the inclined material channel 101, at the moment when the material enters the drying box 3, the double-position three-blade material scattering assembly 8 at the top completely scatters the falling chip clumps to form a uniform and dispersed waterfall-shaped material curtain;

[0049] S102: The column tube type ring spraying assembly 9 sprays high-temperature dry hot air from multiple angles around to the entire falling material curtain, ensuring that each chip is swept by high-speed airflow from all directions, and the moisture is instantly evaporated and taken away by the exhaust system;

[0050] S103: The dried material falls to the bottom of the drying box 3 and is collected by the guide hopper 4. The discharge flow rate is precisely controlled by the flip-plate material controller 5, and finally falls back into the vertical lifting frame 1 to complete one cycle. Then the process of lifting, dispersing, spraying, and falling back is repeated to achieve large-scale circulating drying of the material.

[0051] S104: After the material drying is completed, the staff will turn off the flap feeder 5 and stop the hot air supply assembly 11 through the PLC control panel 12. The bucket-type material lifting assembly 7 will transport the last batch of material to the drying box 3 and the guide hopper 4. The staff will open the discharge valve 6 and transport all the high-quality dried slices with qualified moisture content (which have reached extremely low and uniform moisture content) to the downstream extruder hopper.

[0052] Example 2, based on Example 1, is... Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 The double-position three-lobe bulk material assembly 8 includes two rotating shafts 801 rotatably mounted inside the drying box 3 at an upper position via bearing seats, a semi-circular screen frame 805 fixed inside the drying box 3 below the two rotating shafts 801, and a belt drive structure 802 installed between the two rotating shafts 801. Three slurry plates 806 are fixed in a ring at equal intervals on the outer circumference of the rotating shafts 801.

[0053] A drive shaft 803 is rotatably mounted on the left outer wall of the drying chamber 3. A bevel gear reversing transmission structure 804 is installed between the end of the drive shaft 803 and one of the bevel gear reversing transmission structures 804 for power connection. One end of the drive shaft 803 is powered through a sprocket-type three-axis transmission assembly 10 and a bucket-type material lifting assembly 7. When the polymer chip raw material is fed into the drying chamber 3 and received by the semi-circular screen frame 805, the drive shaft 803 receives the rotational power from the geared motor 13 through the sprocket-type three-axis transmission assembly 10. Then, the drive shaft 803 drives one of the rotating shafts 801 to rotate through the bevel gear reversing transmission structure 804, while the other rotating shaft 801 rotates synchronously in the same direction under the drive of the pulley transmission structure 802. At this time, the rotating shaft 801 continuously moves the polymer chip raw material retained in the semi-circular screen frame 805 through the slurry plate 806.

[0054] The rotating paddle plate 806 disperses the raw materials into a more uniform distribution, preventing them from agglomerating and piling up. This increases the contact area between the raw materials and the hot air, promotes uniform drying, reduces drying dead zones, and improves drying efficiency and product quality.

[0055] The bottom end of the semicircular screen frame 805 is provided with a hole screen area 8051 at the left and right positions, and the bottom end of the semicircular screen frame 805 between the two hole screen areas 8051 is provided with a material blocking area 8052. The semicircular screen frame 805 is made of stainless steel material. The polymer chip raw material is pushed by the slurry plate 806 and falls through the hole screen area 8051 into the drying box 3, at this time, a material curtain is formed, and contacts with the hot air flow sprayed by the column-tube type ring spray assembly 9.

[0056] In example three, on the basis of example two, the column-tube type ring spray assembly 9 is given by Figure 11 and Figure 12 The column-tube type ring spray assembly 9 includes a plurality of shunt pipes 901 rotatably installed inside the drying box 3 through a bearing seat and a plurality of nozzles 902 installed on the outer wall of one side of the shunt pipe 901. The extension line of the central axis of the shunt pipe 901 and the extension line of the central axis of the rotating shaft 801 are perpendicular on the vertical projection plane. One end of the shunt pipe 901 penetrates to the outside of the drying box 3 and is provided with a belt pulley 903. A plurality of belt pulleys 903 are sleeved with a transmission belt 904. One end of one of the shunt pipes 901 is power-connected with the chain wheel type three-axis transmission assembly 10 and the bucket type material lifting assembly 7 through the chain wheel type three-axis transmission assembly 10 and the bucket type material lifting assembly 7.

[0057] The high-speed airflow can enter the shunt pipe 901 and continuously spray out through the nozzle 902, so that the material curtain can be sprayed and dried. During the process, the end of one of the shunt pipes 901 is power-connected with the chain wheel type three-axis transmission assembly 10, and the shunt pipe 901 drives the remaining shunt pipes 901 to rotate through the belt pulley 903 and the transmission belt 904. In this way, the multiple pipes rotate together and uniformly spray hot air flow to each area in the drying box 3 and the material guide hopper 4, realizing full coverage of hot air.

[0058] The spraying mode of the column-tube type ring spray assembly 9 can effectively remove the moisture on the surface of the raw material, enhance the heat exchange efficiency, and ensure the uniformity of hot air spraying and avoid local overheating due to the compact design structure of the column-tube type.

[0059] The hot air supply assembly 11 comprises a hollow back frame 1101 fixed on the back of the drying box 3, a plurality of heating chambers 1103 installed on the back wall of the hollow back frame 1101, and a plurality of communication pipes 1104 installed at the lower end of the heating chambers 1103. An electric heating pipe 1106 is installed in the heating chamber 1103. A temperature sensor 1105 is installed on the inner wall of one side of the heating chamber 1103. A delivery pump 1102 is installed on one side of the back of the hollow back frame 1101. The air inlet end of the delivery pump 1102 is connected with one end of the communication pipe 1104. The air outlet end of the delivery pump 1102 extends to the inside of the hollow back frame 1101 through a pipeline. The end of the shunt pipe 901 away from the pulley 903 extends to the inside of the hollow back frame 1101. The electric heating pipe 1106 and the input end of the delivery pump 1102 are electrically connected with the output end of the PLC control panel 12. The output end of the temperature sensor 1105 is electrically connected with the input end of the PLC control panel 12. When the hot air supply assembly 11 works, the staff turns on the electric heating pipe 1106 and the delivery pump 1102 through the PLC control panel 12. The electric heating pipe 1106 continuously heats the air in the heating chamber 1103. The delivery pump 1102 generates suction and continuously pumps hot air into the hollow back frame 1101. The hollow back frame 1101 continuously supplies hot air flow for the column tube type ring spray assembly 9. The temperature in the heating chamber 1103 is detected by the temperature sensor 1105 and fed back to the PLC control panel 12. Thus, it can be flexibly adjusted according to different raw materials and process requirements.

[0060] In use, the embodiment of the present application first confirms that the vertical lifting frame 1 is loaded with sufficient polymer chip raw materials to be dried, then visually checks the sealing of each pipeline and connection to ensure that there is no material blockage or air leakage, and the chain wheel type three-axis transmission assembly 10, the bucket type lifting assembly 7 and the flap material controller 5 run smoothly without jamming. After completing the mechanical inspection, the worker powers on the device through the PLC control panel 12 to ensure that the power part is running normally. After confirming that the device is in good condition, the worker starts the device through the PLC control panel 12 and sets the hot air supply temperature of the hot air supply assembly 11, the speed of the reduction motor 13, the working time of the device and the opening and closing degree of the flap material controller 5. The parameter setting should be combined with the specific process requirements to meet the drying efficiency and avoid overheating or mechanical damage of the raw materials. Part of the rotary power of the reduction motor 13 is directly transmitted to the bucket type lifting assembly 7, and the chain wheel type three-axis transmission assembly 10 also transmits another part of the rotary power of the reduction motor 13 to the double-position three-blade type bulk material assembly 8 and the tube type ring spray assembly 9. At this time, the bucket type lifting assembly 7 continuously scoops up the wet material from the vertical lifting frame 1 and transports it to the inlet at the top of the drying box 3 through the inclined chute 101. At the moment when the material enters the drying box 3, the double-position three-blade type bulk material assembly 8 at the top completely scatters the falling chip clumps to form a uniform and dispersed waterfall-like material curtain. At the same time, the tube type ring spray assembly 9 strongly sprays high-temperature dry hot air from multiple angles around the entire falling material curtain to ensure that each chip is swept by high-speed airflow from all directions, and the moisture is instantly evaporated and taken away by the exhaust system. The dried material falls to the bottom of the drying box 3 and is collected by the guide hopper 4, and the discharge flow is accurately controlled by the flap material controller 5, and finally falls back into the vertical lifting frame 1 to complete a cycle. After that, the process of lifting, dispersing, spraying and falling is repeated, realizing large-scale cyclic drying of the material. After completing the drying of the material, the worker closes the flap material controller 5 and stops the work of the hot air supply assembly 11 through the PLC control panel 12. The bucket type lifting assembly 7 transports the last batch of material to the drying box 3 and the guide hopper 4. The worker opens the discharge valve 6 and transports the high-quality dried chips with extremely low and uniform moisture content to the downstream extruder hopper, thereby providing reliable raw material guarantee for subsequent high-quality melt spinning.
