Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of resin impregnation and sample preparation devices, and in particular to a convenient, reliable and economical manual resin impregnation and sample preparation device for carbon fiber multifilament. Background Technology
[0002] Carbon fiber refers to carbon fiber bundles composed of individual carbon fiber filaments, also known as carbon fiber multifilaments. Based on the number of individual carbon fiber filaments, carbon fiber can be divided into large-tow carbon fiber and small-tow carbon fiber. Generally, carbon fiber multifilaments with more than 48,000 carbon fibers per bundle are called large-tow carbon fiber.
[0003] In the production of carbon fiber multifilament, a resin impregnation and sample preparation device is required. When the carbon fiber multifilament is tensioned in the existing resin impregnation and sample preparation device, if the constraint force on the monofilament is uneven, or even if some monofilaments are not constrained, some monofilaments will slip off. During resin impregnation, this manifests as local fiber filament scattering, which in turn affects the overall strength of the multifilament and leads to large errors or inaccuracies in the test results. Therefore, there is room for improvement. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a convenient, reliable, and economical manual impregnation and sample preparation device for carbon fiber multifilaments. Its advantages include reducing the difficulty of manual sample preparation, improving sample quality, and significantly reducing the scrap rate, thus achieving high sample preparation efficiency.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A convenient, reliable and economical manual impregnation sample preparation device for carbon fiber multifilament includes a sliding mechanism. The sliding mechanism includes a guide rail, and sliders are slidably connected to both sides of the guide rail. The sliders can be fixed at any position on the guide rail by a locking knob. A base plate is provided on the top of the sliders, and a fiber multifilament fixing mechanism is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate.
[0007] The fiber multifilament fixing mechanism includes two triangular support plates, which are symmetrical in structure. The two triangular support plates are fixed to the base plate by bolts. Three winding shafts are provided at the front end of the triangular support plates. The rear part of the triangular support plates is designed in an L-shape. A threaded hole is provided at the top of the triangular support plates. A locking knob is connected to the inner wall of the threaded hole by a thread. A pressure block is provided at the bottom of the locking knob.
[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the top of the two triangular support plates is provided with the same fiber multifilament pressing mechanism; the fiber multifilament pressing mechanism includes a crane-shaped pressing arm, and the front end of the crane-shaped pressing arm is provided with two pressing heads, the end face of the pressing head cooperating with the winding shaft.
[0009] This invention is further configured such that the rear end of the crane-shaped pressure arm has a cylindrical protruding structure that inserts into the circular hole of the two triangular support plate assemblies. A through hole is provided within the cylindrical structure at the rear end of the crane-shaped pressure arm, into which a pressure arm knob is inserted. The pressure arm knob passes through the pressure arm spring and the crane-shaped pressure arm, connecting to the base plate. Rotating the pressure arm knob compresses the pressure arm spring to obtain appropriate pressure, ensuring a tight seal between the pressure head and the winding shaft, preventing the multifilament fibers from slipping off the winding shaft.
[0010] The present invention is further provided with a buffer layer on the lower surface of the pressing block and the upper surface of the triangular support plate, the buffer layer being made of rubber. The buffer layer provides a good cushioning effect during the pressing process, preventing damage to the fiber multifilaments.
[0011] The present invention is further provided with an anti-slip ridge at the bottom of the pressing block, the anti-slip ridge having a rounded arc structure. The anti-slip ridge increases the friction between the pressing block and the fiber multifilament, thereby improving the stability of the fixation.
[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the bottom end of the pressure head has an arc-shaped structure. This arc-shaped bottom end design allows the pressure head to fully contact the inner wall of the winding shaft, further improving the fixation effect of the fiber multifilaments.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This convenient, reliable, and economical manual impregnation sample preparation device for carbon fiber multifilaments effectively fixes the sample, avoids monofilament breakage and fraying, significantly reduces hand contact with the multifilaments, greatly improves the quality of sample preparation, and maintains stable quality. On the one hand, the sample length can be adjusted as needed, and on the other hand, it is also suitable for situations with less impregnation solution, making it very suitable for laboratory settings and other scenarios requiring small-volume sample preparation. It reduces the difficulty of manual sample preparation, improves sample quality, and greatly reduces the scrap rate, thus possessing high sample preparation efficiency. Attached Figure Description
