[0010] The inner wall of the connecting groove is movably connected to the outer wall of the connecting pipe via a bearing. The fixed bracket with the connecting groove is located away from the hollow cylinder and is fixedly connected to an external threaded interface. The external threaded interface communicates with the interior of the hollow cylinder through the connecting groove and the connecting pipe.

[0011] The guide assembly includes brackets and a rotating shaft. The bottoms of several brackets are fixedly connected to the top four corners of the washing tank, and the rotating shaft is fixedly connected between every two adjacent brackets.

[0012] The side surface of the rotating shaft is movably sleeved with a guide wheel via a bearing. The side surface of the guide wheel is provided with multiple limiting grooves, and the original wire is movably connected inside the limiting groove.

[0013] One end of the raw filament is connected to the wire feeding device, and the other end of the raw filament is connected to the drawing device. The two guide wheels on the same side of the washing tank are distributed vertically, and the raw filament is wound around the limiting groove of the guide wheel.

[0014] One end of the external threaded interface is connected to the pressurized demineralized water equipment through a conduit, and the demineralized water passes sequentially through the connecting pipe and the hollow cylinder and is discharged from the first guide hole, the intermediate guide hole and the second guide hole.

Because the first and second guide holes are arranged in a vortex pattern, the hollow cylinder rotates due to the reaction force when the demineralized water is discharged. This rotation of the hollow cylinder drives a flexible brush to clean the surface of the PAN raw fibers. Since the first, middle, and second guide holes spray out demineralized water, the PAN raw fibers are cleaned through this rinsing process. Because the first and second guide holes extend from the center to both sides, the demineralized water also flows from the center to both sides, causing high-concentration DMSO liquid or detached deposits to be blown to both sides by the steam flow. Furthermore, the direction of the raw fibers' movement is opposite to the rotation direction at the bottom of the hollow cylinder, thus avoiding secondary contamination by DMSO.

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

[0031] The present invention provides a PAN raw yarn washing device, comprising a washing tank 1, combined with... Figures 1-6 It also includes cleaning component 2, support component 3, and guide component 4;

[0033] The cleaning component 2 includes a first guide hole 201, a middle guide hole 202, a second guide hole 203, a brush 204, a hollow cylinder 205, and a connecting pipe 206;

[0034] The hollow cylinder 205 has a fixed connection to the first guide hole 201 on its side surface. The first guide hole 201 is arranged in a ring array around the central axis of the hollow cylinder 205. Multiple ring-shaped first guide holes 201 are arranged in a linear array along the central axis of the hollow cylinder 205. The hollow cylinder 205 has a fixed connection to the middle guide hole 202, which is also arranged in a ring array. The first guide hole 201 is mirrored along the middle section cross-section of the hollow cylinder 205 to form the second guide hole 203. The brush 204 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the hollow cylinder 205. The other side of the hollow cylinder 205 is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 206.

[0035] The support assembly 3 includes a rotating shaft 301, a fixed frame 302, a connecting groove 304, and a movable groove 305. The bottoms of several fixed frames 302 are respectively fixedly connected to the top two sides of the washing tank 1. One of the fixed frames 302 has the movable groove 305 inside. The rotating shaft 301 is movably sleeved on the inner wall of the movable groove 305 through a bearing. One end of the rotating shaft 301 is fixedly connected to the side of the hollow cylinder 205. The connecting groove 304 is opened inside the other fixed frame 302.

[0036] The inner wall of the connecting groove 304 is movably connected to the outer wall of the connecting pipe 206 via a bearing. The fixing bracket 302 with the connecting groove 304 is located away from the hollow cylinder 205 and is fixedly connected to an external threaded interface 303. The external threaded interface 303 communicates with the interior of the hollow cylinder 205 through the connecting groove 304 and the connecting pipe 206.

[0037] The guide assembly 4 includes a bracket 401 and a rotating shaft 404. The bottoms of several brackets 401 are fixedly connected to the top four corners of the washing tank 1, and the rotating shaft 404 is fixedly connected between every two adjacent brackets 401.

[0038] The side surface of the rotating shaft 404 is movably sleeved with a guide wheel 402 through a bearing. The side surface of the guide wheel 402 is provided with a plurality of limiting grooves 403, and the original wire 5 is movably connected inside the limiting grooves 403.

[0039] One end of the raw yarn 5 is connected to the wire feeding device, and the other end of the raw yarn 5 is connected to the drawing device. The two guide wheels 402 on the same side of the washing tank 1 are distributed vertically, and the raw yarn 5 is wound around the limiting groove 403 of the guide wheel 402.

[0040] One end of the external threaded interface 303 is connected to the pressurized demineralized water equipment through a conduit, and the demineralized water passes sequentially through the connecting pipe 206 and the hollow cylinder 205 and is discharged from the first guide hole 201, the intermediate guide hole 202 and the second guide hole 203.

[0041] The first guide hole 201 and the intermediate guide hole 202 extend from the centerline of the hollow cylinder 205 to both sides, respectively, and the first guide hole 201 and the intermediate guide hole 202 are inclined.

[0042] The top of the cleaning component 2 is connected to a cover 6 to prevent demineralized water from being sprayed upwards through the guide hole during equipment operation, thus preventing production hazards and waste.

[0043] A method for operating the above-mentioned PAN raw fiber washing equipment includes the following steps:

[0044] Step 1: The raw yarn 5 passes through the first guide wheel 402, the second guide wheel 405, the third guide wheel 406, and the fourth guide wheel 407 of the guide assembly 4 in sequence, and moves forward by being pulled by the rear-end equipment;

[0045] Step 2: The external threaded interface 303 is connected to the pressurized demineralized water equipment. After the demineralized water is introduced into the hollow cylinder 205, the demineralized water is discharged to the outside through the first guide hole 201, the middle guide hole 202 and the second guide hole 203.

[0046] Step 3: Connect the demineralized water pipe to the hollow cylinder 205 to allow the demineralized water to enter the cleaning assembly 2. Since the first guide hole 201 and the second guide hole 203 are arranged in a vortex pattern, the hollow cylinder 205 rotates due to the reaction force when the demineralized water is discharged. This rotation of the hollow cylinder 205 drives the flexible brush 204 to clean the surface of the PAN raw fiber 5. Demineralized water is sprayed from the first guide hole 201, the middle guide hole 202, and the second guide hole 203, achieving cleaning of the PAN raw fiber through rinsing. Because the first guide hole 201 and the second guide hole 203 extend from the center to both sides, the demineralized water also flows from the center to both sides, causing high-concentration DMSO liquid or detached deposits to be blown to both sides by the steam flow. Furthermore, the direction of travel of the raw fiber 5 is opposite to the rotation direction of the bottom of the hollow cylinder 205, thus avoiding secondary contamination by DMSO.
