[0021] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a polyester melt polymerization apparatus includes a fixed base plate 1 and a storage assembly 3. A support frame 2 is installed on the left end of the upper surface of the fixed base plate 1. The storage assembly 3 is located on the upper side of the support frame 2 and includes a raw material tank 301, a powder chamber 302, a first motor 303, a powder stirring paddle 304, a gear-type powder metering pump 305, a solution chamber 306, a second motor 307, a solution stirring paddle 308, a CNC metering pump 309, a feed port 310, and a sealing plug 311.

A gear-type powder metering pump 305 is installed on the lower side of the powder cavity 302. A solution cavity 306 is opened at the right end inside the raw material tank 301, and a second motor 307 is installed on the upper side of the solution cavity 306. The output end of the second motor 307 is connected to a solution stirring paddle 308 via a coupling. A CNC metering pump 309 is installed on the lower side of the solution cavity 306. A feed port 310 is symmetrically arranged on the upper side of the raw material tank 301, and a sealing plug 311 is engaged with the upper end of the inner side of the feed port 310.

[0023] The specific operation is as follows: During use, purified terephthalic acid powder and ethylene glycol solution are added to the powder chamber 302 and solution chamber 306 respectively through the feeding port 310. The first motor 303 is started, which drives the powder stirring paddle 304 to rotate. The powder stirring paddle 304 continuously stirs the powder to prevent it from clumping. At the same time, the second motor 307 is started, which drives the solution stirring paddle 308 to rotate. The solution stirring paddle 308 continuously stirs the solution to prevent it from settling and solidifying. The terephthalic acid powder is quantitatively delivered to the esterification reactor 4 through the gear-type powder metering pump 305, and the ethylene glycol solution is quantitatively delivered to the esterification reactor 4 through the CNC metering pump 309.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 3 to 4An esterification reactor 4 is connected to a discharge pipe 5 at its lower side, and a first melt booster gear pump 6 is installed at the right end of the discharge pipe 5. A high-pressure conveying pipe 7 is connected to the right end of the first melt booster gear pump 6. A polycondensation reactor 8 is installed at the upper end of the high-pressure conveying pipe 7, and a discharge pipe 9 is connected to the lower side of the polycondensation reactor 8. A second melt booster gear pump 10 is installed at the rear end of the discharge pipe 9, and a high-pressure connecting pipe 11 is installed at the rear end of the second melt booster gear pump 10.

The disassembly assembly 13 includes a fixing plate 1301, a sealing gasket 1302, and a snap-fit ​​groove 1303, and the fixing plate 1301 is provided on the melt filter tank 12. On both sides of the melt filter tank 12, a sealing gasket 1302 is connected to the front surface of the upper end, and a snap-fit ​​groove 1303 is opened on the front side of the upper end of the melt filter tank 12. The disassembly and assembly assembly 13 also includes a snap-fit ​​strip 1304, a sealing front cover 1305, a movable plate 1306, a fixing bolt 1307, a filter element 1308, and a discharge valve 1309. The snap-fit ​​strip 1304 is snapped into the inner side of the snap-fit ​​groove 1303. The sealing front cover 1305 is installed on the front side of the snap-fit ​​strip 1304. Movable plates 1306 are provided on both sides of the sealing front cover 1305. The surface of the movable plate 1306 is threaded with fixing bolts 1307. The filter element 1308 is installed inside the melt filter tank 12, and a discharge valve 1309 is provided on the lower side of the melt filter tank 12.

[0025] The specific operation is as follows: During use, phthalic acid powder and ethylene glycol solution undergo an esterification reaction in esterification reactor 4, generating oligomers which are then discharged through discharge pipe 5. The first melt booster gear pump 6 then transports the material to the polycondensation reactor 8 through high-pressure conveying pipe 7. In the polycondensation reactor 8, the byproduct ethylene glycol small molecules are gradually removed through a vacuum system, increasing the intrinsic viscosity of the polymer and ultimately forming a polyester melt that can be directly spun. The polyester melt is discharged through discharge pipe 9, and the second melt booster gear pump 10 then transports it to the melt filter tank 12 through high-pressure connecting pipe 11. After filtration by filter element 1308, impurities, carbides, and gel particles in the melt are removed, ensuring the spinning melt. To ensure purity, prevent spinneret clogging, and improve fiber quality, the melt is discharged through the discharge valve 1309. After filtration, the sealing front cover 1305 can be removed to facilitate cleaning of the inside of the melt filter tank 12 and the filter element 1308. The sealing front cover 1305 is installed on the melt filter tank 12 by the snap-fit ​​connection between the snap-fit ​​strip 1304 and the snap-fit ​​groove 1303. The sealing gasket 1302 enhances the sealing and tightness of the connection between the sealing front cover 1305 and the melt filter tank 12. The movable plate 1306 and the fixed plate 1301 are fixed together by the fixing bolts 1307 to further improve the stability of the installation of the sealing front cover 1305 and the melt filter tank 12.

[0026] In summary, as Figures 1 to 4As shown, in operation, the polyester melt polymerization apparatus first introduces purified terephthalic acid powder and ethylene glycol solution into the powder chamber 302 and solution chamber 306 respectively through the feed port 310. Then, the first motor 303 is started, driving the powder stirring paddle 304 to rotate, continuously stirring the powder to prevent clumping. Simultaneously, the second motor 307 is started, driving the solution stirring paddle 308 to rotate, continuously stirring the solution. Stirring is used to prevent the solution from settling and solidifying. Phthalic acid powder is quantitatively delivered to the esterification reactor 4 via a gear-type powder metering pump 305, while ethylene glycol solution is quantitatively delivered to the esterification reactor 4 via a numerically controlled metering pump 309. Subsequently, the phthalic acid powder and ethylene glycol solution undergo an esterification reaction in the esterification reactor 4, generating oligomers which are then discharged through the discharge pipe 5. The first melt booster gear pump 6 then delivers the material to the polycondensation reactor 8 via a high-pressure conveying pipe 7. In the polycondensation reactor 8, byproducts are gradually removed through a vacuum system. The product, ethylene glycol small molecules, increases the intrinsic viscosity of the polymer, ultimately forming a polyester melt that can be directly spun. The polyester melt is discharged through discharge pipe 9, and then transported by a second melt booster gear pump 10 through a high-pressure connecting pipe 11 to a melt filter tank 12. After filtration by filter element 1308, impurities, carbides, and gel particles in the melt are removed, ensuring the purity of the spinning melt, preventing spinneret clogging, and improving fiber quality. The melt is discharged through discharge valve 1309. After filtration, the sealing front cover 1305 can be removed. To facilitate cleaning of the interior of the melt filter tank 12 and the filter element 1308, the sealing front cover 1305 is installed on the melt filter tank 12 by engaging the snap-fit ​​strip 1304 with the snap-fit ​​groove 1303. The sealing gasket 1302 enhances the sealing and tightness of the connection between the sealing front cover 1305 and the melt filter tank 12. The movable plate 1306 is fixed to the fixed plate 1301 by the fixing bolts 1307, further improving the stability of the installation of the sealing front cover 1305 and the melt filter tank 12.
