[0031] Example 1
[0032] See also Figures 1 to 6 The utility model provides a large-tow carbon fiber heating and yarn spreading device, comprising a device housing 1, a movable door 2 is provided on one side of the device housing 1, and through passages are respectively provided on both sides of the device housing 1, and a group of yarn spreading rollers 3 are respectively provided at the passages on both sides of the device housing 1;
[0033] The heating components 4 are symmetrically arranged in the device housing 1 , and each heating component 4 is connected to the device housing 1 via two parallel mounting frames 5 .
[0034] The heating assembly 4 includes a plurality of fins 6 arranged in parallel, and an air duct is formed between two adjacent fins 6. The fins 6 are provided with tube holes for the heating tube 7 to pass through. The heating tube 7 is arranged on the fins 6 through the tube holes, and the heating tube 7 is a bow-shaped curved tube.
[0035] The two ends of the fin 6 are fixedly connected by a connecting rod 8 , and the middle part of the connecting rod 8 is fixedly connected by two fixing frames 9 , and each fixing frame 9 is fixedly connected to the device housing 1 through a mounting frame 5 .
[0036] The heating assembly 4 further includes a plurality of fans 10 , which are fixedly connected to the fins 6 , and the air outlet ends of the fans 10 face the fins 6 .
[0037] The fan 10 can blow the heat emitted by the heating tube 7 and the fin 6 to the carbon fiber 20, so that the heat is transferred to the carbon fiber 20, thereby heating the carbon fiber 20. During the stretching process of the carbon fiber 20, the slurry on the surface of the carbon fiber 20 will not crack. The slurry will soften due to heating and re-attach to the carbon fiber 20, thereby improving the effect of the spreading roller 19 on the carbon fiber spreading and improving the quality of subsequent processing of the carbon fiber 20.
[0038] The heating tube 7 and the fins 6 are both made of metal (preferably copper, aluminum, steel, iron and other metal materials with excellent thermal conductivity), and a resistance wire is arranged in the heating tube 7. The resistance wire heats up under the action of the current and transfers the heat to the heating tube 7, and the heating tube 7 transfers the heat to the outside evenly through the fins 6.
[0039] Each group of yarn spreading rollers 3 includes two yarn spreading rollers 19 rotatably arranged on the device housing 1. Each yarn spreading roller 19 is fixedly connected to the device housing 1 through a support frame. One of the yarn spreading rollers 3 is located in the middle of the channel, and the other is located on the outside of the device housing 1.
[0040] In each group of yarn spreading rollers 3 , a yarn spreading roller 3 located outside the device housing 1 has a higher level than another yarn spreading roller 3 .
[0041] The yarn spreading roller 19 can limit the travel path of the carbon fiber 20. The carbon fiber 20 is stretched during the movement, and the large-tow carbon fiber is spread during the stretching process.
[0042] When the utility model is used, the carbon fiber 20 is placed in a closed equipment housing 1, leaving only an inlet and outlet for the yarn, and electrically heated. The carbon fiber 20 is in a closed space, and the heat loss during heating is small, which reduces the time required to reach the set temperature, realizes high-temperature yarn spreading, and places the carbon fiber 20 in a high-temperature environment, and the spreading effect of the carbon fiber 20 is good.
[0043] Example 2
[0044] On the basis of Example 1, the mounting frame 5 includes a mounting seat 11 fixedly connected to the device housing 1, an adapter seat 12 is rotatably provided at one end of the mounting seat 11, the adapter seat 12 is fixedly connected to the fixing frame 9, a slide groove 13 is provided at one end of the adapter seat 12 away from the mounting seat 11, a connecting rod 14 is slidably provided in the slide groove 13, the connecting rod 14 includes two parallel long bars, the two ends of the long bars are fixedly connected by fixing rods, one of the fixing rods is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 11, and the other fixing rod slides in the slide groove 13, one end of the connecting rod 14 slides in the slide groove 13, and the other end is rotatably connected to one end of the mounting seat 11 away from the rotating axis of the adapter seat 12;
[0045] The invention also includes a limiter 15 rotatably disposed on the connecting rod 14 . The limiter 15 is located at one end of the connecting rod 14 close to the sliding groove 13 .
[0046] One end of the limiter 15 is rotatably disposed on the connecting rod 14, and a torsion spring 16 is disposed between the limiter 15 and the connecting rod 14;
[0047] A positioning piece 17 is provided at one end of the stopper 15 close to the rotation axis of the stopper 15;
[0048] A plurality of slots 18 are formed on the rod body of the adapter 12 , and the positioning piece 17 is plugged into one of the slots 18 .
[0049] The operator presses the movable end of the stopper 15 to separate the positioning piece 17 from the slot 18. At this time, the operator can rotate the heating component 4 to slide the connecting rod 14 in the slide groove 13. When the heating component 4 is tilted at a certain angle, the operator releases the movable end of the stopper 15 to insert the positioning piece 17 into the slot 18, thereby fixing the heating component 4 and facilitating the operator to debug the carbon fiber 20.
[0050] When the debugging is completed, the stopper 15 is pressed to reset the heating assembly 4 so as to facilitate the blowing heating of the carbon fiber 20 .
[0051] When the carbon fiber 20 needs to be debugged, since the distance between the two heating components 4 is very close, it is inconvenient for the operator to debug the carbon fiber 20. According to the actual situation on site, the upper heating component 4 or the lower heating component 4 can be tilted to increase the distance between the two heating components 4, making it easier for the operator to debug the carbon fiber 20 in the equipment housing 1.
[0052] Example 3
[0053] On the basis of Example 1 or 2, two baffles are slidably set at the channels on both sides of the device housing 1, and the two baffles are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the channel. A guide groove is opened on both sides of each baffle, and a locking bolt is set in the guide groove. The locking bolt is threadedly connected to the device housing, and the locking bolt tightens the baffle.
[0054] When the equipment needs to be debugged, the operator loosens the locking bolts and moves the two baffles to the upper and lower sides of the channel respectively to make the channel leak out for the operator's use. When the carbon fiber 20 needs to be heated, the operator moves the two baffles to one side of the carbon fiber, leaving only the inlet and outlet for the yarn, and uses electricity for heating. The large-tow carbon fiber is in a confined space, and the heat loss is small during heating, which reduces the time required to reach the set temperature and achieves high-temperature yarn spreading.
[0055] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
