Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nonwoven fabric production technology, and in particular to an online pretreatment system for circulating water in wet nonwoven fabric production. Background Art
[0002] Currently, wet-laid nonwoven fabric technology is a new technology that utilizes papermaking equipment and techniques to produce nonwoven fabric products. The process involves dispersing fiber raw materials into single fibers in an aqueous medium, while simultaneously mixing different fiber raw materials to create a fiber suspension. This suspension is then transported to a web-forming mechanism, where the fibers are formed into a web in a wet state and subsequently reinforced into fabric. During production, fine pulp fibers and ash remain in the circulating water, requiring the use of air flotation to remove these fine fibers and ash before the circulating water can be reused. However, directly treating untreated circulating water using an air flotation tank cannot completely remove suspended solids, leading to difficulties in subsequent high-precision filtration and high filtration costs.
[0003] Patent application CN117888380A discloses a toilet paper fiber recycling machine and method. The toilet paper fiber recycling machine includes a fixed housing, an upper housing, a shredding component, a separation component, a water spraying component, a bubble injection component, a recycling component, and a cleaning component. The upper housing is fixedly installed on top of the fixed housing. The shredding component is installed outside the fixed housing. The separation component is installed obliquely inside the fixed housing. The water spraying component is installed inside the upper housing. The bubble injection component is installed on the side of the fixed housing and is used to inject bubbles into the pulp to remove pigment impurities. The recycling component is installed inside the bubble injection component, and the cleaning component is installed inside the bubble injection component to clean the residual pulp after discharge. This technical solution solves the problem in the prior art where the viscosity of the pulp makes it difficult to completely remove the separated pigment impurities.
[0004] However, this patent uses the method of injecting air bubbles into the pulp to agitate the pulp fibers in order to screen for pigment impurities. This method can only play an auxiliary screening role and cannot achieve solid-liquid separation of the material.
[0005] Utility model patent CN221701169U discloses a wastewater treatment fiber recycling machine, which facilitates the pushing and cleaning of fibers to prevent clogging and affect the filtration effect. It includes a recycling bin, multiple legs, and a support ring. Multiple legs are evenly fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the recycling bin, and the bottom ends of the legs are fixedly installed on the top of the support ring to ensure stability during use. It also includes a mesh cylinder, a support rotating ring, a rotating device, a cleaning device, a height adjustment device, and an air outlet device. The support rotating ring is fixedly installed on the top of the mesh cylinder and rotatably mounted on the top of the recycling bin. The rotating mechanism is installed at the bottom of the recycling bin and connected to the bottom of the mesh cylinder. The height adjustment device is installed on the rear side wall of the recycling bin. The cleaning device is located inside the mesh cylinder, and its top is mounted on the height adjustment device. The air outlet device is installed on the top of the height adjustment device, and its output end is located inside the mesh cylinder.
[0006] However, compared to this patent, the structure of that patent is more complex, the filtration area is smaller, and it is difficult to separate large quantities of low-concentration slurries. Utility Model Content

[0032] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments, but the implementation of the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0033] Example 1
[0034] This embodiment provides a method such as Figure 1-3The illustrated online pretreatment system for circulating water in wet-process nonwoven fabrics includes a pretreatment device 1, an air flotation tank 2, an intermediate water tank 3, a clear water tank 4, and a sludge cylinder 5. The pretreatment device 1 includes a housing 11, a rotating drum 12, and a central shaft 13. The rotating drum 12 is disposed inside the housing 11 and has a hollow cylindrical structure. The central shaft 13 passes through the rotating drum 12 axially, with both ends extending through the housing 11 and outwards. The central shaft 13 is rotatably connected to the housing 11. One end of the central shaft 13 is connected to a drive assembly 18. An outlet 14 is provided at the bottom of the housing 11. The drum 12 has multiple holes on its side wall. The inner surface of the side wall of the drum 12 is provided with a spiral guide groove 15. The spiral guide groove 15 and the inner surface of the side wall of the drum 12 together form a flow channel. An annular opening is provided at the middle position of one end face of the drum 12. The water inlet pipe 17 extends into the inside of the drum 12 through the annular opening. The other end face of the drum 12 is an open structure. The shell 11 below the open structure is provided with a slag discharge port 16. A screen is fitted on the outside of the drum 12. The outlet 14 of the pretreatment device 1 is connected to the inlet of the flotation tank 2. The slag discharge port 16 is connected to the slag cylinder 5. The upper part of the side wall of the flotation tank 2 is provided with an outlet 14. The outlet 14 of the flotation tank 2 is connected to the intermediate water tank 3. The intermediate water tank 3 is provided with a level transmitter. The intermediate water tank 3 is connected to the clear water tank 4 through a water pump 6. The clear water tank 4 is provided with a level transmitter. The guide channel 15 is a 100mm high strip metal plate spirally welded to the inner surface of the side wall of the drum 12; the central shaft 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drum 12 by multiple connecting rods. The top of the intermediate water tank 3 is also provided with a water inlet, and the water inlet is equipped with a water inlet valve.
[0035] In this embodiment, the holes are 20mm holes, and the holes are evenly spaced at 5mm intervals on the side wall of the drum 12. The screen is a 120-mesh filter screen. The drive assembly 18 includes a motor and a reducer. The output end of the motor is connected to the input end of the reducer, and the output end of the reducer is connected to one end of the central shaft 13.
[0036] In this embodiment, circulating water is introduced into the inlet of the drum 12 through the inlet pipe 17. The motor drives the drum 12 to rotate. When the drum 12 rotates, the liquid is only distributed at the horizontal bottom of the drum 12 due to gravity. The circulating water flows along the guide channel 15 inside the drum 12. The slurry flows to the slag discharge port 16 with the flow channel and is discharged from the slag discharge port 16. The slag discharge port 16 is connected to the slag bucket by a pipe with a diameter of 159mm. The slurry is discharged into the slag discharge port 16. A 120-mesh metal filter screen is fixed on the surface of the drum 12 as a filter carrier. After the liquid is filtered, it falls into the device housing 11. The filtrate is discharged through the outlet 14 set at the bottom of the housing 11. After the pretreatment device 1 is completed, the filtrate enters the flotation tank 2. The flotation tank 2 injects a large number of microbubbles into the water. The buoyancy of the bubbles carries the suspended solids, oil and other impurities in the water to the surface, thereby achieving solid-liquid separation. This process is not only fast and thorough, but also effectively reduces the burden of subsequent treatment. The upper side wall of the flotation tank 2 is provided with an outlet 14. The outlet of the flotation tank 2 is connected to the intermediate water tank 3 by overflow. The subsurface overflow prevents surface foam from entering the intermediate water tank 3. The intermediate water tank 3 serves as a buffer for the entire return water system. The intermediate water tank 3 is connected to the clean water tank 4 through the water pump 6. The clean water tank 4 serves as a storage tank for clean water after treatment. Both the intermediate water tank 3 and the clean water tank 4 are equipped with level transmitters. The level of the clean water tank 4 and the level of the intermediate water tank 3 are interlocked by DCS. When the level of the clean water tank 4 is lower than the set lower limit, the water pump 6 is started to pump water from the intermediate water tank 3 into the clean water tank 4 to start replenishing water to the clean water tank 4. When the level of the clean water tank 4 is higher than the set upper limit, a stop signal is given to the water pump 6 to stop replenishing water to the clean water tank 4. When the level in intermediate water tank 3 reaches the set low limit, turn off water pump 6 and open the water supply valve to replenish water to intermediate water tank 3. When the level in intermediate water tank 3 reaches the set middle limit, the water supply pump can be started to replenish water to the clear water tank depending on whether the level in the clear water tank has reached the low level. When the level in intermediate water tank 3 reaches the set high limit, close the water supply valve and stop replenishing water to intermediate water tank 3.
