[0002] Driven by the demands of various industries, the application scope of carbon fiber prepreg is becoming more and more extensive. However, during the production of carbon fiber prepreg, it is easy to have defects on the surface due to the influence of various factors such as the production process. When producing carbon fiber prepreg, due to the influence of yarn separation, yarn drawing and yarn spreading devices, there is a phenomenon of uneven yarn spreading. The unevenly distributed carbon fiber undergoes subsequent processes such as upper and lower film unwinding devices, and the final prepreg surface will have defects such as cracks, hair balls, and holes. Defects will have a serious impact on the strength of the prepreg, especially in the fields of wind power, aerospace, etc. Defects will have a fatal impact on carbon fiber structural parts, leading to application accidents and causing serious economic losses. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to provide a fiber reeling device which can prevent carbon fiber from turning over during the fiber reeling process, so as to solve the technical problem that the fibers are easily turned over during the existing carbon fiber reeling process.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a wire withdrawing device for preventing carbon fiber from flipping over, comprising a wire withdrawing frame and a wire guide wheel; the carbon fiber bundle guided out by the wire withdrawing frame passes through the inside of the wire guide wheel, and the wire guide wheel is used to prevent the carbon fiber from flipping over; a bearing is arranged inside the wire guide wheel, and a mounting hole is opened in the middle position of the bearing, and a wire guide roller is rotatably arranged in the mounting hole, and the carbon fiber bundle moves along the rotation direction of the wire guide roller.

[0005] Furthermore, the axes of the guide wheel and the bearing are coaxially arranged, the axis of the guide wheel is perpendicular to the axis of the guide roller, and the axis of the bearing and the axis of the guide roller are perpendicular in space but do not intersect.

[0006] Furthermore, a wire supporting roller is arranged at the outlet direction of the wire guide wheel.

[0007] Furthermore, a curved roller and a yarn spreading roller are arranged in the outlet direction of the wire supporting roller.

[0008] Furthermore, the axis of the wire withdrawal frame, the axis of the wire guide wheel, the axis of the wire support roller, the axis of the curved roller and the axis of the yarn spreading roller are arranged parallel to each other.

[0009] Furthermore, the guide wire wheel is located above the wire withdrawal frame at a distance of 20-30 cm; the wire support roller is located below the guide wire wheel at a distance of 10-20 cm; the arc roller is located below the wire support roller at a distance of 5 cm; and the yarn spreading roller and the arc roller are at the same level.

[0010] Furthermore, the materials used for the wire support roller, the curved roller, the yarn spreading roller and the wire guide roller are single metal, stainless steel, polytetrafluoroethylene or ceramic material; the roller body is polished, the contact surface is smooth, and the surface friction coefficient is 0.01-0.15.

[0011] Furthermore, the diameter of the curved roller is large in the middle and gradually decreases towards the sides. When the carbon fiber passes through its surface, the width of the carbon fiber tow increases slightly.

[0012] Furthermore, the roller body of the yarn spreading roller is a triangular prism, a quadrangular prism or a multi-prism, and the surface of the small roller on the edge is smooth. When the carbon fiber passes through the surface, the width of the carbon fiber bundle increases.

During the withdrawal process, the fiber reciprocates left and right on the paper tube, and the guide roller with a bearing can change the fiber withdrawal angle during the withdrawal process, so that the fiber remains taut and close to the guide roller to prevent flipping; the arc roller can initially stretch the carbon fiber, and the yarn spreading roller can increase the width of the carbon fiber, so that the subsequent fiber feeding is less likely to flip. The use of the utility model can prevent the twisting caused by the flipping of the carbon fiber during the withdrawal process from being drawn into the finished product, and can reduce the significant damage caused by the turning of the fiber during winding.

The axis of the guide wheel 2, the axis of the wire withdrawal frame 1, the axis of the wire support roller 3, the axis of the curved roller 4 and the axis of the yarn spreading roller 5 are arranged parallel to each other.

[0021] Specifically, the axis of the wire withdrawal frame 1, the axis of the wire guide wheel 2, the axis of the wire support roller 3, the axis of the curved roller 4 and the axis of the yarn spreading roller 5 are arranged parallel to each other.

[0026] Example

[0027] In the de-filament process of the carbon fiber prepreg production process, the carbon fiber passes through the de-filament frame 1, the guide roller 7 in the anti-flip guide wheel 2, the support roller 3, the curved roller 4, and the yarn spreading roller 5 in sequence to complete the subsequent prepreg production process.

[0028] Comparative Example 1:

[0029] In the de-filament process of the carbon fiber prepreg production process, the carbon fiber passes through the de-filament frame 1 and the wire roller 3 in sequence to complete the subsequent prepreg production process.

[0030] Comparative Example 2:

[0031] In the de-filament process of the carbon fiber prepreg production process, the carbon fiber passes through the de-filament frame 1, the guide roller 7 in the anti-flip guide wheel 2, and the support roller 3 in sequence to complete the subsequent prepreg production process.

[0032] Comparative Example 3:

[0033] In the de-filament process of the carbon fiber prepreg production process, the carbon fiber passes through the de-filament frame 1, the wire support roller 3, the curved roller 4, and the yarn spreading roller 5 in sequence to complete the subsequent prepreg production process.

[0034] The quality of the prepregs prepared in the examples and comparative examples was evaluated. The twist number, the number of flash seams (between tows), and the number of flash seams (between tows) of each 25 m prepreg were tested for comparison. The specific data are shown in Table 1 below.

[0035] Table 1

[0036]

[0037] It can be seen from Table 1 that the quality of the prepreg in the embodiment is significantly better than that in the comparative example, and its twist number is zero, indicating that when the fiber passes through the anti-flipping guide wheel, the damage to the filament bundle during operation is relatively small, and the rotation of the bearing can keep the fiber in a taut state during the reciprocating left and right movement of the paper tube, close to the guide roller, and there is no flipping, curling, or twisting before entering the yarn spreading system. The arc roller and the yarn spreading roller have a certain unfolding effect on the fiber, so that the fiber can be initially and evenly unfolded in the initial filament withdrawal stage, the width of the initially unfolded fiber is increased, and the flash seams between the obtained prepreg filament bundles are significantly reduced. The difference in the number of flash seams in the filament bundles of the embodiment and the comparative example is not obvious, and it is inferred that it is mainly affected by the quality of the fiber itself.
