Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of polyimide drying technology, and more particularly to a polyimide drying device. Background Technology
[0002] Polyimide refers to a class of polymers containing imide rings in their main chain, and is one of the organic polymer materials with the best overall performance. It possesses high temperature resistance and high insulation properties. Polyimide is produced by first undergoing low-temperature polycondensation of dianhydride and diamine in a polar solvent to obtain soluble polyamic acid. After film formation or spinning, the polyamic acid is heated to approximately 300°C for dehydration and cyclization, transforming it into polyimide. Alternatively, acetic anhydride and tertiary amine catalysts can be added to polyamic acid to perform chemical dehydration and cyclization, yielding polyimide solutions and powders. The resulting powders are then dried to obtain solid powder products.
[0003] Currently, most polyimide drying devices in practical use dry the raw materials inside the drying chamber by heating the bottom and side walls. This heating and drying method is not uniform enough, and the raw materials in the middle are not easily heated and dried, resulting in low overall heating and drying efficiency and poor heating effect. Therefore, this application provides a polyimide drying device. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a simple and effective drying device for polyimide.
[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following measures:

[0007] The storage cylinder is installed on the bottom plate inside the drying chamber. The upper end of the storage cylinder is open. Several sets of partitions are vertically arranged at equal intervals inside the storage cylinder. Several sets of ventilation holes are provided on the cylinder body and the partitions. The polyimide raw material is stored between the partitions inside the storage cylinder. The partitions separate the polyimide raw material to prevent it from piling up and causing the inside to not dry properly.
[0008] The specific features of this utility model also include:
[0009] The storage cylinder includes a bottom, a lower ring, an upper ring, and a body;
[0010] The lower ring is provided around the bottom of the cylinder. The cylinder body includes a semi-circular cylinder body one and a cylinder body two. The cylinder body one is disposed on the lower ring. The upper ring is provided at the upper end of the cylinder body one. Annular grooves are provided on the opposite sides of the upper ring and the lower ring. The cylinder body two is slidably disposed between the two annular grooves. After sliding, the cylinder body two closes with the cylinder body one to form a complete cylinder body. Specifically, the inner diameter of the cylinder body two is larger than the outer diameter of the cylinder body one, so it can slide against the cylinder body one.
[0011] One side of the partition is located on the inner wall of the cylinder body, and the other side of the partition faces the opening of the cylinder body, so that the cylinder body can be slid open to facilitate unloading.
[0012] An auxiliary plate is provided on one side wall of the first cylinder body, and a matching bolt is provided on the auxiliary plate through a threaded structure. A corresponding insertion hole is provided on the second cylinder body to cooperate with the bolt. When the second cylinder body slides with the first cylinder body to form a complete cylinder body, it is fixed by the cooperation of the bolt and the insertion hole.
[0013] The drying chamber has an opening on one side that works with the storage cylinder. An extension plate, integrally connected to the base plate, is provided below the opening. A sliding groove is provided on the base plate, extending to the extension plate. A matching sliding plate is provided in the sliding groove, and a circular groove is provided on the sliding plate.

The corresponding end of the lead screw is rotatably mounted on the side of the slide plate. The outer end of the lead screw is provided with a handle. By rotating the handle, the slide plate can be slid onto the extension plate, that is, slid to the outside of the drying chamber, which also means that the storage cylinder is slid to the outside of the drying chamber.
[0016] The lower extension plate is provided with a notch or groove that mates with the lead screw, so that the drying chamber can be closed after the chamber door is closed, which is beneficial for drying.
[0017] The upper side of the drying oven is provided with a through hole that mates with the storage cylinder. A matching disc is slidably disposed in the through hole. A motor is disposed on the upper side of the disc. The output shaft of the motor passes downward through the disc and is surrounded by a cover plate that mates with the upper end of the storage cylinder.

The inlet of the fan is connected to the heating chamber, and the outlet of the fan is connected via a pipe to an air box fixed inside the drying chamber by a bracket. The air box has several sets of air outlets on its side facing the storage cylinder. The fan delivers hot air from the heating chamber to the air box, and then the hot air is blown towards the storage cylinder through the air outlets, thereby drying the polyimide inside.
[0020] A dehumidification box is provided on the lower part of the outer side of the drying chamber. The dehumidification box is filled with dehumidifying cotton. A collection box is provided on the other side of the drying chamber away from the heating chamber. Several sets of air inlets are provided on the outer side of the collection box. Corresponding pipes are provided on the dehumidification box to connect to the heating chamber and the collection box, thereby realizing hot air circulation. That is, the hot air in the heating chamber is transported to the drying chamber by the fan to dry the material in the storage cylinder. Then the hot air enters the collection box, then the dehumidification box, and then the heating chamber.
[0021] Working principle: In use, first open the chamber door, then rotate the handle to slide the storage cylinder out of the drying chamber. Add polyimide raw material through the upper opening of the storage cylinder, then slide the storage cylinder into the drying chamber. Next, use the electric telescopic rod to lower the disc, allowing the external spline to insert into the internal spline. At this point, the cover plate closes the upper opening of the storage cylinder. Then, activate the hot air circulation mechanism and start the motor to rotate the storage cylinder. During rotation, the internal polyimide raw material is uniformly heated and dried. After drying, open the chamber door, slide the storage cylinder out, slide open the cylinder body, and then remove the polyimide raw material.
[0022] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This device has a simple structure and is easy to operate. It can effectively dry polyimide raw materials. In particular, the design of the rotating storage cylinder and the internal partition design make the drying uniform and improve the drying effect. Attached Figure Description
