Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of short fiber drawing technology, and in particular to an automatic defoamer dripping device for short fiber drawing. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of short fiber drawing lines, oil agents, such as JX-98 and CE-1, can be sprayed to reduce friction and static electricity. During the use of the oil agent, the rapid operation of the drawing rollers, the circulation pumping of the oil agent, and the spraying impact will all cause the oil agent to be violently agitated, drawing in a large amount of air and breaking it down into foam.

[0003] Foam in the oiling agent can lead to uneven oiling of the fibers, affecting their smoothness, bundling, and subsequent spinnability. Furthermore, excessive foam can cause overflow in the oiling tank, forcing a shutdown for cleaning and disrupting production continuity. Foam overflow also results in oiling agent loss, increasing production costs. To eliminate foam in the oiling agent, a small amount of prepared defoamer can be sprayed using a sprayer to impact the foam layer; however, this method is inefficient, and if spraying is not timely under pressure, overflow may occur. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main technical problem solved by this utility model is to provide an automatic defoamer dripping device for short fiber drawing, which eliminates foam in the oil storage tank and improves the level of automation.

[0019] In this embodiment, the lifting frame includes a base 1, a mounting plate 5, a guide sleeve 2, and a guide rod 4. The guide sleeve 2 is vertically mounted on the base 1 and can be welded and fixed, resulting in a robust structure. The guide rod 4 is concentrically mounted in the guide sleeve 2 and extends upwards, facilitating height adjustment.

[0020] The mounting plate 5 is horizontally positioned on top of the guide rod 4, and the defoamer container 6 is mounted on the mounting plate 5 and fixed by welding or screws. The structure is stable, allowing the height of the defoamer container 6 to be adjusted as the guide rod 4 extends and retracts to adapt to the liquid level of the oil foam in the oil storage tank.

[0021] The dripping tube 9 is positioned on one side or at the bottom of the defoamer container 6, and the valve 8 is mounted on the dripping tube 9 to control the dripping amount. The opening of the dripping tube 9 points downwards, dripping into the lower foam concentration area. The lifting frame can be placed in the oil storage tank and adjusted so that the dripping tube 9 is positioned above the foam concentration area in the oil storage tank. The defoamer in the defoamer container 6 drips downwards into the foam concentration area through the dripping tube 9 for concentrated defoaming. The opening of the valve 8 can be adjusted according to the defoaming effect to ensure the defoaming effect, which helps to save defoamer and reduce costs.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a screw 3 pointing to the guide rod 4 is provided on one side of the guide sleeve 2. The guide rod 4 is fixed after being adjusted by the screw 3, and the structure is stable.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a hydraulic cylinder 11 and a connecting plate 12 are also included.
