[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is by no means a limitation on the utility model and its application or use. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] In the description of the present utility model, it needs to be understood that the directions or positional relationships indicated by directional words such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "lateral, vertical, perpendicular, horizontal" and "top, bottom" are usually based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise specified, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model; the directional words "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the contours of each component itself.

[0026] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used here to describe the spatial positional relationship between a device or feature and other devices or features as shown in the figure. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figure. For example, if the device in the accompanying drawings is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "above other devices or structures" will be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "below other devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptions used here are interpreted accordingly.

[0027] In addition, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to limit components is only for the convenience of distinguishing the corresponding components. If not otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0028] See also Figures 1 to 5 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a carbon fiber surface treatment device is provided, comprising an electrolytic tank 1 for containing an electrolyte. It can be understood that the electrolyte is used to etch the surface of the carbon fiber immersed therein. For details, see Figure 1 As shown, the top area (also understood as the upper area) of the electrolytic cell 1 is provided with a wire feed roller 21 and a wire outlet roller 22, and also includes an electrolyte spray assembly 3, the electrolyte spray assembly 3 is arranged adjacent to the wire feed roller 21 and / or the wire outlet roller 22, and the electrolyte spray assembly 3 has a spray pipe 31, and the electrolyte flowing out of the spray pipe 31 can be sprayed onto the carbon fiber filaments guided on the wire feed roller 21 and / or the wire outlet roller 22, see specifically Figure 1 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the aforementioned electrolyte spraying components 3 are provided in two groups, and each group of electrolyte spraying components 3 is provided corresponding to the aforementioned wire feeding roller 21 and wire outlet roller 22 .

[0029] In this technical solution, an electrolyte spray assembly 3 is respectively arranged near the wire feed roller 21 and the wire outlet roller 22 so that the electrolyte can be sprayed on the carbon fiber filaments guided on the transmission rollers, which can reduce the friction between the carbon fiber filaments and the transmission rollers, effectively solve the problem of mechanical damage to the carbon fiber filaments in the surface treatment process, and ensure the high-speed and stable operation of the carbon fiber filaments. It should be noted that in the production process of carbon fiber filaments, the carbon fiber filament surface treatment device of the utility model is arranged on the downstream side of the high-temperature carbonization furnace. The carbon fiber filaments that have just been carbonized at high temperature are brittle, and the guiding process on the wire feed roller 21 is very easy to cause fluffing or even wire breakage. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to arrange the electrolyte spray assembly 3 of the utility model at the position of the wire feed roller 21 of the carbon fiber filament surface treatment device, which can effectively prevent the mechanical damage of the carbon fiber filaments on the wire feed roller 21 and the occurrence of the phenomenon of broken wires winding around the roller. In addition, the electrolyte spray assembly 3 configured in the carbon fiber filament surface treatment device of the utility model has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and is very convenient to operate and disassemble. It has certain versatility and can significantly reduce the labor intensity of operators.

[0030] In some embodiments, the drip tube 31 has a plurality of liquid outlets 315 arranged in a line along its axial direction (in a specific embodiment, each liquid outlet 315 is a small hole of Φ0.1 mm constructed on the drip tube 31), and the liquid outlet direction of each liquid outlet 315 forms an angle θ with the horizontal line, see Figure 5 As shown, θ satisfies μ=aθ+bλ+c, where μ is the breakage rate of the carbon fiber on the corresponding spray pipe 31, λ is the average flow velocity of the water flow in the pipe, and a, b, and c are constants, that is, the installation and commissioning process of the electrolyte spray assembly 3 is reasonably adjusted according to the breakage rate μ of the carbon fiber and the average flow velocity λ of the water flow to ensure that the carbon fiber breakage rate can be lower during its use. In a specific embodiment, a=0.0619744207, b=4.3261962162, and c=-1.540534462.

[0031] In some embodiments, the carbon fiber surface treatment device further includes a pumping device (not shown in the figure, not labeled), the pumping end (i.e., the suction port) of the pumping device is below the liquid level of the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell 1, and the pumping end (i.e., the output port) of the pumping device is connected to the liquid inlet pipe 311 of the shower pipe 31. The aforementioned pumping device can be a specific example of a water pump that can withstand the downward view of the electrolyte.

[0032] In this technical solution, the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell 1 is sprayed onto the carbon fiber filaments on the corresponding transmission rollers through a pumping device, and the sprayed electrolyte can flow back into the electrolytic cell 1 under the action of its own weight, ensuring full utilization of the electrolyte while preventing the concentration difference that may exist due to the separate supply of electrolyte for spraying from reducing the etching effect of the electrolyte on the carbon fiber filaments. It can be understood that a filter with a suitable mesh size should be set at the pumping end of the aforementioned pumping device to prevent hair from entering the spraying pipe 31 and blocking each liquid outlet 315.

[0033] See Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a fixed frame 4 is provided on the electrolytic cell 1, and two of the fixed frames 4 are respectively mounted on opposite sides of the electrolytic cell 1. The aforementioned fixed frames 4 can be two metal sheet metal plates, and the bottom ends thereof can be supported and fixed on the end surfaces on opposite sides of the top wall notch of the electrolytic cell 1, and the two ends of the sprinkling pipe 31 are respectively detachably connected to each of the fixed frames 4.

[0034] In this technical solution, both ends of the sprinkling tube 31 are detachably connected to the fixed frame 4, which can facilitate its assembly in the top area of ​​the electrolytic cell 1 on the one hand, and can facilitate the adjustment of the liquid outlet direction of the liquid outlet 315 of the sprinkling tube 31 on the other hand, that is, to reasonably adjust the aforementioned θ.

[0035] Continue to see Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, both ends of the shower tube 31 are respectively provided with a threaded column 312 extending along its axial direction, and a nut 313 is threadedly connected to the threaded column 312. A connecting column 41 is fixedly connected to the wall surface of the fixed frame 4, and the connecting column 41 has a accommodating groove (not marked in the figure), and the end surface of the nut 313 away from the shower tube 31 can be accommodated in the accommodating groove. When the nut 313 is driven to rotate along the first rotation direction relative to the threaded column 312, the end surface of the nut 313 away from the shower tube 31 can be stopped and positioned with the bottom wall of the accommodating groove.

[0036] In this technical solution, the nut 313 and the threaded column 312 are threadedly connected. When the nut 313 is rotated along the first rotation direction, the nut 313 will move along the axial direction of the shower tube 31 close to the bottom wall of the accommodating groove until the nut 313 stops and is positioned on the bottom wall of the groove (locking the position of the shower tube 31), so that the shower tube 31 can be assembled without adjusting the distance between the two relatively arranged fixed frames 4. It should be noted that when the nuts 313 at both ends of the shower tube 31 are rotated along the second rotation direction (opposite to the first rotation direction), the two nuts 313 move close to the middle position of the shower tube 31, that is, the axial length of the shower tube 31 becomes shorter. Before assembly, the axial length of the shower tube 31 should not be longer than the distance between the relative end faces of the connecting columns 41 on both sides.

[0037] In terms of specific manufacturing, the aforementioned shower pipe 31 can be made of a hollow stainless steel pipe with holes, and the openings at both ends are sealed and then welded with a bolt.

[0038] In order to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the shower tube 31 and the adjustment of the liquid outlet direction of the shower tube 31, a handle 314 is provided on the outer tube wall of the shower tube 31, and the operator can apply force to the handle 314 to achieve rotational drive or position movement of the shower tube 31. In another specific embodiment, see Figure 3 As shown, there are two handles 314, which are respectively disposed adjacent to the two ends of the shower tube 31, so that the operator can select a more convenient side for corresponding operation. The handle 314 can be, for example, a tube body welded to the outer tube wall of the shower tube 31, and a sphere can be welded to the free end of the tube body for easy gripping by the operator.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, both ends of the wire feed roller 21 are rotatably connected between two fixed frames 4; and / or, both ends of the wire outlet roller 22 are rotatably connected between two fixed frames 4. In another preferred embodiment, the carbon fiber surface treatment device also includes a first wire guide roller 23 and a second wire guide roller 24, wherein the first wire guide roller 23 is adjacent to and parallel to the wire feed roller 21, and the second wire guide roller 24 is adjacent to and parallel to the wire outlet roller 22, and the carbon fiber filaments are tensioned below the liquid surface of the electrolyte by the first wire guide roller 23 and the second wire guide roller 24; the first wire guide roller 23 and the second wire guide roller 24 are each rotatably connected between two fixed frames 4 at both ends.

[0040] In this technical solution, the wire feed roller 21, the wire outlet roller 22, the first wire guide roller 23, the second wire guide roller 24 and the electrolyte spray assembly 3 are all arranged on the fixed frame 4, which can ensure the stability of the relative position relationship between the components, and the integrity of the assembly is better, and the assembly is more convenient.

[0041] It is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that, without conflict, the advantageous technical features of the above-mentioned methods can be freely combined and superimposed.

[0042] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is not intended to limit the utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. The above is only a preferred implementation of the utility model. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and variations can be made without departing from the technical principles of the utility model, and these improvements and variations should also be regarded as the protection scope of the utility model.
