Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of monomer suction, and in particular to an automatic cleaning suction device for a polyester-nylon composite production line. Background Technology
[0002] The current polyester-nylon composite production process requires the addition of monomers to facilitate spinning, and excess monomers are removed by water suction equipment.
[0003] Since the water suction equipment is located inside the spinning production equipment, after a long period of production, the casing of the suction equipment may become clogged, which will affect the product quality. If cleaning is required, the equipment must be stopped. Based on experience, the equipment should be stopped for cleaning every 5 days. Otherwise, it will seriously affect the product quality and cause cost waste.
[0004] The main characteristic of existing suction equipment structures is that when there is single-volume pressure, it can cause blockage of the suction hood or suction column, which cannot be cleaned by on-site personnel while the equipment is running. This results in the spinneret overheating during production, affecting product quality. Stopping the equipment for cleaning would generate a large amount of waste yarn, leading to cost waste. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide an automatic cleaning and suction device for a polyester-nylon composite production line, which solves the problem of blockage of individual suction equipment.
[0006] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0007] An automatic cleaning and suction device for a polyester-nylon composite production line includes a suction component and a cleaning component. The suction component includes a suction pump, a suction column, and a suction hood. The cleaning component includes a scraper, an automatic cleaning system, and a track. The automatic cleaning system includes a limit switch, a motor, a frequency converter, and a PLC assembly.
[0008] The suction pump is connected to the inlet of the suction column through a first connecting pipe, and the outlet of the suction column is connected to the treatment tank through a second connecting pipe. The inner wall of the suction column is provided with a filter screen. The side of the suction column is movably connected to the suction hood. The suction hood is duckbill shaped and contains a funnel-shaped cavity. Several tracks are provided inside the cavity, and the scraper is hinged to the tracks.
[0009] The output terminal of the PLC assembly is connected to the input terminal of the frequency converter, the output terminal of the frequency converter is connected to the input terminal of the motor, the signal output terminal of the motor is connected to the signal input terminal of the limit switch, the first signal output terminal of the limit switch is connected to the signal input terminal of the scraper, and the second signal output terminal of the limit switch is connected to the input terminal of the PLC assembly.
[0010] Preferably, the suction column includes a first suction column and a second suction column, and the first suction column is connected to the second suction column through a connector.
[0011] Preferably, the scraper is made of stainless steel plate.
[0012] Preferably, the scraper corresponds to the area where the monomer is attached and needs to be cleaned.
[0013] Preferably, the scraper is elongated, with parallel sides, one end of the scraper is bent, and the other end of the scraper is inclined at 30 to 60 degrees.
[0014] Preferably, the filter screen includes a first filter screen and a second filter screen, wherein the first filter screen is a HEPA filter screen and the second filter screen is a non-woven fabric filter element.
[0015] Preferably, the pore size of the nonwoven filter element is 10–50 μm.

[0017] Preferably, a blockage sensor is also provided inside the suction hood, and the signal output terminal of the sensor is connected to the signal input terminal of the PLC assembly.
[0018] This utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects compared to the prior art:
[0019] (1) This utility model achieves automatic cleaning of the suction device through the cooperation of the scraper and the automatic cleaning system. During equipment operation, no manual cleaning by on-site personnel is required. The PLC assembly, frequency converter, motor and limit switch work together to form a closed-loop control for back-and-forth operation. When the motor drives the scraper to the limit switch position, the limit switch sends a signal back to the PLC assembly to control the movement of the scraper, enabling the scraper to automatically clean the suction hood. The cleaned-off monomers are directly sucked away by the negative pressure generated by the suction pump, realizing online cleaning. This avoids stopping the equipment due to cleaning the suction equipment, solves the problem of the suction equipment cover being easily blocked by monomers, effectively ensures continuous production of the polyester-nylon composite production line, reduces the large amount of waste yarn caused by equipment shutdown for cleaning, and lowers production costs.
[0020] (2) The suction column adopts a detachable modular design, meaning the first suction column is connected to the second suction column via a connector. This design facilitates the quick and effective removal of oligomers or monomers from the suction column. Simultaneously, the suction column is equipped with filters, including HEPA filters and non-woven fabric filter elements, which effectively filter monomers and prevent them from adhering to the column body and causing blockage. This design not only effectively prevents the suction column from becoming clogged but also provides fast cleaning, simple operation, and minimal impact on normal production, thereby extending the service life of the suction column.
[0021] (3) The device disclosed in this utility model has an automatic cleaning function, which reduces the frequency and workload of manual cleaning and lowers labor costs. On the other hand, it avoids equipment damage caused by frequent equipment blockage and cleaning, reduces equipment maintenance costs and equipment downtime, improves production efficiency, and reduces equipment maintenance costs overall.
