Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of direct spinning feeding devices, in particular to a feeding device for melt direct spinning. Background Art

[0002] Melt spinning is a process used in chemical fiber production that directly transfers polymer melt from a polymerization reactor to a spinning machine for fiber formation, bypassing intermediate steps such as solidification, slicing, and remelting. In melt spinning, melt temperature is crucial to the spinning process. To ensure fiber quality, the melt must be maintained within an appropriate temperature range during the transfer process. However, existing technologies often suffer from slow cooling rates in the feed pipe, resulting in poor cooling efficiency and unstable temperature control, which can affect fiber quality.

[0003] The utility model patent with publication number CN207877958U discloses a melt-spinning feeding device, including a booster pump, a water tank on the right side of the booster pump, a feeding pipe on the upper side of the booster pump, an outer shell on the outer side of the feeding pipe, a circulating water pump on the upper side of the water tank, and a motor fixedly connected to the right end of the water tank. The utility model has a semiconductor refrigeration device. After power is turned on, the refrigeration plate cools the right side and dissipates heat on the left side. The right side of the refrigeration plate transfers the cold energy to the first heat dissipation aluminum plate through the first copper plate, thereby cooling the water in the water tank. The circulating water pump can pump the cold water upward into the interior of the outer shell, thereby cooling the feeding pipe. However, the protective device still has the following problems when used: (1) There is no cooling device on the outer shell of the feeding pipe, resulting in poor cooling effect; (2) The temperature is not monitored and cannot be adjusted according to the current temperature.

[0026] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "front end", "back end", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0028] It should also be noted that, in the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "disposed," "installed," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, or internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] Refer to the attached Figure 1-7 A feeding device for melt direct spinning shown in the figure includes a booster pump 1, an output pipe 5 is provided above the booster pump 1, the output pipe 5 is connected to a feeding pipe 6, a rotating mechanism 7 is provided between the output pipe 5 and the feeding pipe 6, and a first condensing mechanism 3 and a second condensing mechanism 4 are provided outside the feeding pipe 6; a fan 31 is provided at the top of the first condensing mechanism 3, and a stirrer 41 is provided at the bottom of the second condensing mechanism 4, and the feeding pipes 6 in the first condensing mechanism 3 and the second condensing mechanism 4 are spiral-shaped.

[0030] The melt is pressurized and delivered to the output pipe 5 by a booster pump 1, and then connected to the feed pipe 6 by a rotating mechanism 7 to ensure continuous flow of the melt. The first condensing mechanism 3 and the second condensing mechanism 4 outside the feed pipe 6 cool the melt using a fan 31 and a stirrer 41, respectively, to ensure accurate temperature control.

[0031] The rotating mechanism includes a motor 71, a first flange 72, a second flange 73, and a track 75. A groove 721 is defined within the first flange, and a block 731 is provided at the end of the feeding tube near the first flange, which engages with the groove 721. A coupling 74 is provided between the first and second flanges 72, 73. The coupling 74 engages with the track 75, which is driven by the motor 71. The motor 71 can be mounted on the top of the refrigeration box 2 or on top of another supporting structure.

[0032] Specifically, the first flange 72 is fixedly connected to the output pipe 5. With the cooperation of the groove 721 and the block 731, the first flange 72 and the second flange 73 are rotatably connected. The second flange 73 is fixedly connected to the feeding pipe 6. The motor 71 drives the track 75 to rotate, which in turn drives the coupling 74 to rotate, causing the feeding pipe 6 to rotate. The rotation of the feeding pipe 6 can make the contact between the melt and the condensation mechanism more uniform, ensuring that each part of the cooling process can fully dissipate heat, thereby improving the overall cooling efficiency. By rotating the feeding pipe 6, the melt will not be retained on the pipe wall for a long time, thereby reducing the contact time between the melt and the pipe wall and effectively avoiding adhesion and blockage problems.

[0033] The fan 31 includes a first base 311 and a plurality of fan blades 312 .

[0034] Fixed by the first base 311 , the plurality of fan blades 312 generate airflow by rotating, thereby increasing the airflow circulation in the first condensing mechanism 3 and accelerating the heat dissipation around the melt.

[0035] The blender 41 includes a second base 411 and a plurality of blending bars 412 .

[0036] The rotation of the stirring bar 412 makes the condensate flow more evenly, avoids uneven cooling, and improves heat exchange efficiency. By stirring the condensate, the heat of the melt is fully absorbed, effectively enhancing the cooling effect and ensuring that the temperature of the melt remains consistent throughout the cooling process.

[0037] A water outlet pipe 23 is provided below the second condensing mechanism 4 , and the water outlet pipe 23 is connected to the refrigeration box 2 . A water pump 21 is provided above the second condensing mechanism 4 , and the water pump 21 is connected to the refrigeration box 2 via a water inlet pipe 22 .

[0038] Connected to the refrigeration box 2 via the outlet pipe 23, a circulating cooling system is established. The water pump 21 delivers the coolant in the refrigeration box 2 to the second condensing mechanism 4 via the inlet pipe 22 for cooling. After absorbing heat from the second condensing mechanism 4, the condensed liquid flows back to the refrigeration box 2 through the outlet pipe 23 for recycling.

[0039] A first temperature sensor 32 is provided between the first condensing mechanism 3 and the second condensing mechanism 4 .

[0040] The first temperature sensor 32 is used to monitor the temperature of the melt between the first condensing mechanism 3 and the second condensing mechanism 4 in real time. Through accurate temperature monitoring, the device can automatically adjust the cooling system according to actual temperature changes, ensuring that the melt temperature remains within the appropriate range. When the first condensing mechanism 3 has lowered the temperature to the appropriate level, the second condensing mechanism 4 is not activated.

[0041] A three-way valve 8 is connected to the right end of the feed pipe 6, and a second temperature sensor 9 is provided between the second condensing mechanism 4 and the three-way valve 8. The three-way valve 8 controls the flow direction of the melt, allowing for flexible switching based on production needs and adapting to the requirements of different processes. The second temperature sensor 9 monitors the temperature of the melt before it enters the three-way valve 8, ensuring that it reaches the optimal temperature range before entering the next process step.

[0042] A rotating mechanism 7 is also provided between the second condensing mechanism 4 and the three-way valve 8 . The two rotating mechanisms 7 rotate synchronously to drive the feeding pipe 6 to rotate.

[0043] Specific application cases:

[0044] When a factory requires a melt-spinning process, a specific application method of a melt-spinning feeding device of the present application is as follows:

[0045] At the start of production, the polyester raw material is pressurized by a booster pump 1, and the molten polyester melt enters the feeding pipe 6 through the output pipe 5. The rotating mechanism 7 is turned on, causing the feeding pipe 6 to start rotating, making the contact between the melt and the condensing mechanism more uniform, ensuring that every part of the cooling process can fully dissipate heat. The feeding pipe 6 in the condensing mechanism is designed to be spiral-shaped, which increases the flow time of the melt in the pipe. The fan 31 in the first condensing mechanism 3 quickly removes the heat from the surface of the feeding pipe 6 through air circulation, initially cooling the melt. After the melt passes through the second condensing mechanism 4, the stirrer 41 stirs the condensate to achieve further heat conduction, allowing the coolant to fully absorb the heat from the melt and ensure the uniformity of the condensate temperature. During the production process, a first temperature sensor 32, located between the first condensing mechanism 3 and the second condensing mechanism 4, monitors the temperature of the melt in real time. If the temperature is too high, the system will adjust the temperature by adjusting the speed of the coolant flow to ensure that the melt temperature is stable within the range required by the process. When the melt reaches the appropriate temperature, a second temperature sensor 9 within the second condensing mechanism 4 further monitors the melt's temperature before it enters the three-way valve 8, ensuring accurate temperature before it flows to the next process and avoiding fiber quality issues caused by temperature fluctuations. The three-way valve 8 can also adjust the melt flow direction according to production requirements.

[0046] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention.
