The outlet of pneumatic diaphragm pump 124 is connected with slurry outlet 4 through slurry conveying pipeline, and slurry conveying pipeline is also connected with slurry discharge pipeline 126 through valve 125.
[0030] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, three groups of filter assemblies are installed after the pulp outlet 4 and before the overflow 9 in the embodiment. The filter assemblies include draw-in slots 51, and different mesh sizes of filter screens 52 are installed in the draw-in slots 51. The mesh sizes of the filter screens 52 increase from small to large along the flow direction of the pulp, and are 5 mesh, 10 mesh, and 18 mesh in sequence. The mesh size and the number of the filter screens can be selected according to different pulps. The pulp is filtered through the filter screens layer by layer and enters the sizing tank 5. The size of the filter screen 52 is the same as the width of the sizing tank 5, and the height is higher than that of the pulp and lower than that of the carbon fiber tows 1. The multi-layer draw-in filter assemblies are installed after the pulp outlet and before the overflow, which can effectively intercept the hair, hair balls, and gel in the pulp outlet and the overflow tank, ensure that the pulp entering the sizing tank is filtered, reduce the accumulation of hair, and reduce the pipeline blockage.

The filter bag is arranged on a reinforced mesh basket and hung in the filter cylinder body. The pulp outlet pipeline is lifted to a height higher than the bag filter, so that the pulp in the pipeline flows vertically into the bag filter and is filtered by gravity. The efficiency of the pneumatic diaphragm pump is controlled by controlling the air volume of the compressed air, so as to control the flow rate of the pulp into the bag filter. The filter cylinder body and the pulp outlet are connected by a pipeline, and the filtered pulp flows into the pulp outlet.
[0033] The bag filter 41 with a replaceable filter bag is convenient for online cleaning and replacement, and is convenient for employees to operate.
