[0012] The water pool 13 is connected to a first vacuum pump 5 .

[0013] The glue tank 6 is connected to a second vacuum pump 8 .

[0014] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0015] The utility model comprises the following steps when working:

[0016] S1: Crush the discarded carbon fiber felt scraps, add water to the blender to make a carbon fiber slurry with a concentration of 30% to 40%, and pump the slurry into a slurry mixing tank;

[0017] S2: The carbon fiber slurry is pumped into the nozzle above the pool by a centrifugal pump and evenly sprayed on the carbon felt.

[0018] Perform filtration and sedimentation;

[0019] S3: The glue spraying device sprays the glue onto the composite felt, soaks it and presses the composite felt with a roller.

[0020] To the composite felt with appropriate glue content;

[0021] S4: rolling up the laminated composite felt, trimming the edges, and fixing the jacket mold;

[0022] S5: The composite felt tube containing the inner and outer molds enters the heating furnace for heating and curing, and then is demoulded and enters the continuous graphitization equipment for graphitization.

[0023] The utility model first breaks up carbon fiber felt scraps to obtain a fiber length of about 2 to 5 cm, mixes and adds water to form a carbon fiber slurry with a concentration of 30% to 40%, sprays the uniform slurry in a mixing barrel onto the finished carbon felt through a nozzle, and during filtration, the water in the slurry passes through the carbon felt into a water pool, and the carbon fibers are deposited on the surface of the carbon felt; in a glue spraying mechanism, the carbon fibers and the carbon felt are kept at an appropriate glue content by glue infiltration and pressing, and a uniform composite felt wet blank is obtained, the wet blank is rolled up and molded, and then dried and cured to form, the heating and curing molding temperature is 200-250°C, the heating and curing time is 30 minutes, and then the mold is cooled and demolded to enter the subsequent graphitization production line, so as to realize the continuous preparation of waste recycling wet molding.

[0024] Preferably, carbon felt is used in S2, and carbon cloth may also be used.

[0025] Preferably, in S2, in order to increase the filtering and sedimentation speed, a vacuum pump can be used to provide power to extract the filtered water from below.

[0026] Preferably, in S4, a vacuum pump can be used to provide power to extract the glue from below to increase the infiltration speed. Preferably, the curing heating furnace in S5 should be a tunnel furnace, and the length of the tunnel furnace heating zone and the conveying speed should match the heating treatment time.

[0027] The utility model crushes the scraps of discarded carbon fiber felt after cutting, adds water to slurry to obtain a carbon fiber slurry with a concentration of 30% to 40%, and pumps it into a slurry mixing barrel; the motor at the top of the mixing barrel drives the stirring shaft with fan blades to stir the slurry until it is uniform, and continues stirring to prevent carbon fiber sedimentation; the uniform slurry is pumped into the nozzle above the water pool by a centrifugal pump and evenly sprayed on the thin carbon felt; the thin carbon felt is strung together by two rollers at the head and tail, and passes through the entire set of equipment. The tail roller is wound to drag the entire thin carbon felt through various parts of the equipment to achieve continuity. A vacuum pump is used under the water pool to create a negative pressure environment. After the slurry is sprayed on the carbon felt, the negative pressure below draws away the moisture, leaving a uniform carbon fiber layer; the water filtered out of the water pool is recycled using a centrifugal pump. The thin carbon felt and carbon fiber layers then enter a glue tank, where glue is sprayed and bonded together. A vacuum pump creates negative pressure inside the glue tank, similar to the water tank structure, and the glue is pumped back into the nozzle for recycling. At the glue tank outlet, two rollers press the composite felt together, squeezing out any excess glue. The resulting composite felt blank, with uniform thickness, is wound up on a roller at the rear. The finished blank is cut, jacketed, and then heated and cured in a tunnel furnace. After curing and forming, it undergoes high-temperature graphitization to produce the finished carbon fiber insulation felt.
