[0015] The utility model provides a rotary spinneret for electrostatic spinning, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. The electrospinning rotary spinneret can drive the injection assembly to rotate during the spinning process by adjusting the assembly, ensuring that the polymer solution flows evenly in the injection barrel, helping to reduce bubbles and precipitation, and ensuring the consistency of raw materials during the spinning process. The rotating motion can increase the degree of stretching while ejecting the fiber, helping to refine the fiber and improve its strength and toughness. At the same time, the rotation of the injection barrel will improve the stability of the ejected liquid flow, thereby improving the diameter uniformity and structural consistency of the fiber and reducing the variation in fiber diameter.

[0017] 2. The electrospinning rotary spinneret uses a bearing kit, a gear ring and a gear, so that the needle can rotate on its own while following the rotation of the syringe barrel. This not only makes the fibers more uniform when ejected, reduces local concentration differences caused by electrostatic effects, thereby improving the consistency of fiber diameter, but also allows the polymer solution to form a rotational motion when ejected, thereby enhancing the stretching effect of the polymer chain. At the same time, the rotation can reduce the residence time of the polymer in the spinneret, thereby reducing the risk of blockage and maintaining production continuity.

[0018] 3. The electrospinning rotary spinneret device uses multiple needles arranged in an eccentric manner, which can not only significantly improve the spinning production efficiency and increase the amount of fiber produced per unit time to meet the needs of large-scale production, but also the eccentric arrangement can enhance the stability of the ejected liquid flow, improve the diameter uniformity and overall structure of the fiber, and reduce the fiber defects. At the same time, the arrangement of the eccentric spinnerets can produce stretching in different directions during the fiber formation process, promote the directional arrangement of the fiber, and thus enhance its mechanical properties.

[0019] 4. The electrospinning rotary spinneret drives the collecting plate to move and collect through the mobile device, which not only ensures the uniform distribution of fibers in the entire collecting area, thereby avoiding excessive accumulation of fibers in a certain position, improving the quality and consistency of fibers, and reducing the risk of fiber accumulation and deformation, thereby reducing material loss in the collection process, but also can affect the deposition distribution of fibers on the collecting plate by adjusting the moving speed and distance of the collecting plate, thereby optimizing the arrangement order and layered stacking effect of the fibers, improving the uniformity of the finished product, and reducing static electricity accumulation to ensure that the fibers can be collected freely.

[0039] Working principle: First, place the device in a suitable position, then connect the device to an external power supply, then the staff controls the electric push rod 404 through an external control device to drive the adjustment plate 405 to move downward, and places the syringe 501 equipped with a bearing kit 502 and a needle 503 on the placement rack 402. Under the action of the telescopic rod 406 and the spring, the fixed plate 407 can fit tightly against the side of the syringe 501 and clamp the syringe 501.
