Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of carbon fiber processing, in particular to a carbon fiber prepreg creel cleaning device. Background Art
[0002] For a long time, there has been a yarn collecting plate cleaning link in the composite process of carbon fiber prepreg production. The traditional method is to use gauze manually, that is, workers simply wipe it with their hands without the assistance of tools. This leads to the inability to clean the yarn frame guide eyes and the dead corners of the grates, which is too low in efficiency, and the fiber hairiness and sizing agent are not cleaned up, which also affects the apparent quality of the entire carbon fiber prepreg. Especially when production requires frequent yarn changes, model adjustments, and carbon fiber to glass fiber, manual cleaning is even more time-consuming and labor-intensive. If the carbon fiber hairiness cannot be cleaned, replacing the glass fiber will directly affect the quality of the prepreg.
[0003] According to the disclosed patent 202320472783.8, a carbon fiber prepreg creel cleaning device includes a spraying assembly, a cleaning assembly, a length adjustment assembly, a flip adjustment assembly, a height adjustment assembly, a control chassis and a support base. The support base is arranged in the middle of the upper end of the control chassis, the height adjustment assembly is arranged inside the support base, the flip adjustment assembly is arranged at the upper end of the height adjustment assembly, the length adjustment assembly is arranged at the front side of the upper end of the flip adjustment assembly, the cleaning assembly is arranged in the middle of the front end of the length adjustment assembly, and a plurality of the spraying assemblies are spaced apart at the top of the front end of the length adjustment assembly. The purpose of the utility model is to provide a carbon fiber prepreg creel cleaning device, which is provided with a cleaning component, a length adjustment component, a flip adjustment component and a height adjustment component, and can quickly and efficiently clean the creel in all directions in a full-automatic manner, and effectively reduce the fiber hairiness and sizing agent residues on the creel. In the process of realizing the utility model, the inventors found that at least the following problems in the prior art have not been solved. Although the cleaning component, the length adjustment component, the flip adjustment component and the height adjustment component are provided, the quick and efficient cleaning of the creel in all directions in a full-automatic manner is achieved, and the fiber hairiness and sizing agent residues on the creel during the model change process are effectively reduced, and multiple spray components are provided to facilitate the automatic replenishment of cleaning liquid to the cleaning component, which has long been solved. In the composite process of carbon fiber prepreg production, there is a yarn collecting plate cleaning link. The traditional method is to use gauze manually, that is, workers simply wipe with their hands without the assistance of tools. This leads to the inability to clean the guide eyes of the yarn rack and the dead corners of the grates, which is too low in efficiency, and the fiber fluff and the sizing agent are not cleaned cleanly, which also affects the apparent quality of the entire carbon fiber prepreg. However, during use, the traditional carbon fiber prepreg yarn rack cleaning device, generally the brush cylinder and the cleaning mechanism are not in the same position, resulting in the water sprayed by the cleaning mechanism actually contacting the carbon fiber prepreg yarn rack at an angle. The water will stay along the carbon fiber prepreg yarn rack and cannot effectively rinse the position cleaned by the brush cylinder directly, resulting in residual dirt on the surface of the carbon fiber prepreg yarn rack. For this reason, a new technical solution needs to be designed to solve the problem. Utility Model Content

[0007] A double cleaning mechanism is fixedly connected to one side of the rotary joint, which can not only rotate to clean the surface of the carbon fiber prepreg creel, but also can directly switch to a water spray mode to rinse the carbon fiber prepreg creel. The double cleaning mechanism includes a first connecting pipe, one side of the first connecting pipe is rotatably connected to the rotary joint, one end of the first connecting pipe away from the rotary joint is connected to a water tank, and one end of the water tank away from the first connecting pipe is fixed with a cleaning cotton brush;
[0008] One end of the rotary joint away from the first connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the second connecting pipe, one end of the second connecting pipe away from the rotary joint is connected to a water-gas dual-purpose pump, and one end of the water-gas dual-purpose pump away from the second connecting pipe is connected to a nozzle.
[0009] Preferably, a first gear penetrates the outer side of the first connecting tube, the first gear is fixedly connected to the penetration position of the first connecting tube, and a second gear is meshed at the bottom of the first gear.

Since the second connecting pipe is fixedly connected to one side of the rotary joint, the water in the water tank can be directly pumped out through the water-gas integrated pump and sprayed through the nozzle, thereby integrating the cleaning mechanism and the cleaning structure, directly flushing the cleaning position of the cleaning cotton brush, and combining the water tank and the cleaning cotton brush to reduce the space occupied by the water tank of the traditional cleaning mechanism, and solves the technical problem that the traditional carbon fiber prepreg creel cleaning device generally has a brush barrel and a cleaning mechanism that are not in the same position, resulting in the water sprayed by the cleaning mechanism actually contacting the carbon fiber prepreg creel with the inclined surface, and the water will stay along the carbon fiber prepreg creel, and cannot effectively flush the position cleaned by the brush barrel directly, resulting in residual dirt on the surface of the carbon fiber prepreg creel.
