Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the field of textile technologies, and in particular, to a centrifugal spinning apparatus and a planar receiving-type centrifugal spinning automatic production device using the centrifugal spinning apparatus.

BACKGROUND

Centrifugal spinning is a new spinning technique applicable to both solution spinning and melt spinning. In a spinning process of the centrifugal spinning, a spinning solution in a spinneret is ejected from micropores by a centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotated spinneret and is formed into slender fibers, by which materials that can be prepared include inorganic materials and polymers. In view of a high yield of the centrifugal spinning and advantages of fiber products, the fiber products prepared by the centrifugal spinning is applicable to biomedicine, air filtration, energy and other fields.

Currently, for the centrifugal spinning, a fiber forming mechanism has been thoroughly researched, and a technical problem to be resolved is how to achieve continuous mass production of the centrifugal spinning. First, the feeding and collection manners of the centrifugal spinning are to be improved. A conventional centrifugal spinning feeding system is a semi-continuous feeding system, that is, each time a centrifugal spinning experiment is performed, the spinning solution is fed into the liquid storage cavity of the spinneret by a syringe, and the spinning process is in a discontinuous manner. For the collection manner, the mass production cannot be achieved in the conventional ring collection manner. In addition, centrifugal spinning yield is to be increased. As a new spinning technique, the yield thereof is obviously higher than that of electrostatic spinning. However, compared with the conventional spinning technology, the yield of the centrifugal spinning is still relatively low. Therefore, continuous spinning feeding and collection manners of the centrifugal spinning are directions of industrialization research.

For example, the invention patent with application No. CN201610424908.4 provides a centrifugal spinning preparation method for a titanium dioxide/polypropylene methacrylate (TiO₂/PAN) micro/nanofiber membrane, the provided centrifugal spinning apparatus includes a motor, a spinning head, and a collection rod. The spinning head is mounted on a top of a rotation shaft of the motor and is driven by the motor to rotate. The spinning head has a hollow cavity for containing the spinning solution, a top portion of the spinning head is provided with a liquid injection port, a side wall of the spinning head is provided with a spinneret hole in communication with the hollow cavity, and the collection rod is disposed around the spinning head in a circle. During the centrifugal spinning, the spinning head is driven by the motor to rotate, and the spinning solution is ejected from the spinneret hole of the spinning head, and is stretched by moving between the spinneret hole and the collection rod. The solvent volatilizes to form fibers, and a fiber membrane is received from the collection rod. Such a collection manner fixes the yarn between the collection rods, the formed fibers are discontinuous short fibers, the efficiency is low, and continuous production cannot be achieved.

The patent with application No. CN201820388681.7 provides a centrifugal electrostatic spinning device, including a centrifugal spinning nozzle, a receiving device disposed above the multifilament nozzle, a driving mechanism for driving the centrifugal spinning nozzle, and a power supply device for generating an electrostatic field required for forming the spinning solution between the centrifugal spinning nozzle and the receiving device. A plurality of yarn exit holes are provided on the centrifugal spinning nozzle at intervals in a radial direction of the circumference, and the centrifugal spinning nozzle is connected to a spinning solution delivery device. The receiving device of the device is disposed above the centrifugal spinning nozzle and is grounded, and stretches the ejected yarn flow from the centrifugal spinning nozzle under the action of centrifugal force and electric field force. Such an electrostatic manner cannot achieve continuous production, and has excessive energy consumption, low operability and low safety factor.

Embodiment 1

Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 11, the present invention provides a planar receiving-type centrifugal spinning automatic production device 100 for automatically producing a centrifugal spinning fiber web 5. The planar receiving-type centrifugal spinning automatic production device 100 includes a centrifugal spinning apparatus 1 for preparing the centrifugal spinning fiber web 5, a winding device 3 for winding the centrifugal spinning fiber web 5 into a roll, and a compaction device 2 disposed between the centrifugal spinning apparatus 1 and the winding device 3 and configured to compact the centrifugal spinning fiber web 5. In this implementation, the centrifugal spinning apparatus 1, the compaction device 2, and the winding device 3 are sequentially arranged from front to back according to a movement direction of the centrifugal spinning fiber web 5. After the centrifugal spinning apparatus 1 spins the centrifugal spinning fiber web 5, the centrifugal spinning fiber web 5 is compacted by the compaction device 2 and then guided into the winding device 3, and the winding device 3 winds the centrifugal spinning fiber web 5 into a roll.

Referring to FIG. 2 to FIG. 5 in combination with FIG. 1, the centrifugal spinning apparatus 1 includes a frame 11, a spinning device 13, a feeding device 12 for providing a spinning solution to the spinning device 13, a collection device 14 for collecting centrifugal spinning fibers ejected by the spinning device 13, and a temperature control device 15. The collection device 14 is disposed below the spinning device 13, to enable the centrifugal spinning fibers ejected by the spinning device 13 to be attached to a surface of the collection device 14, thereby achieving plane receiving of centrifugal spinning fibers.

Referring to FIG. 3 to FIG. 5, the spinning device 13 includes a spinner device 133 and a transverse device 132 driving the spinner device 133 to reciprocate horizontally in a direction perpendicular to an extending direction (that is the movement direction of the centrifugal spinning fiber web 5) of the collection device 14, so that the centrifugal spinning fibers ejected by the spinner device 133 uniformly cover the entire collection device 14 in a width direction of the collection device 14. In this way, wide nonwovens production is achieved.

The transverse device 132 is fixedly mounted on the frame 11. The transverse device 132 includes a fixed support 1321 connected to the frame 11, a transversely movable unit 1322 mounted on the fixed support 1321, a slider (not numbered) mounted on the transversely movable unit 1322, a mounting plate 1323 connected to the slider, and two transverse struts 1324 mounted on the mounting plate 1323. With such disposition, the transversely movable unit 1322 drives the transverse strut 1324 to move horizontally by the mounting plate 1323.

In this implementation, two spinner devices 133 are symmetrically mounted at two ends of the two transverse struts 1324. It should be noted that, the quantity of the spinner devices 133 can be set according to a thickness requirement of the centrifugal spinning fiber web 5, which is not specifically limited herein.

The spinner device 133 includes a buffer tank connected to the feeding device 12, a spinneret 1340 ejecting the centrifugal spinning fibers, a feeding pipe 1344 communicated with the buffer tank and the spinneret 1340, a hollow shaft 1345 sleeved around a periphery of the feeding pipe 1344, and a power portion driving the spinneret 1340 to rotate. An end of the feeding pipe 1344 extends into the buffer tank, and another end extends into the spinneret 1340, to guide a spinning solution from the buffer tank to the spinneret 1340, and the feeding pipe 1344 is not in contact with an inner wall of the hollow shaft 1345, thereby avoiding a device failure caused by friction in a working process, and ensuring a normal operation of the device.

The buffer tank includes a storage body 1342, an end cover 1343, and a sealing ring connecting both the storage body 1342 and the end cover 1343 in a sealed manner, to prevent leakage of the spinning solution. For example, the sealing ring may be a corrosion-resistant rubber gasket. A joint connected to the feeding device 12 is mounted on the end cover 1343, and the feeding device 12 pumps the spinning solution into the buffer tank through the joint. Specifically, a transparent tempered glass plate 1341 is disposed on a side wall of the storage body 1342, to help an operator observe a remaining level of the spinning solution in the buffer tank in real time.

An upper end of the feeding pipe 1344 is fixed in the buffer tank by a thread connection, and a fixed junction is sealed by adding the corrosion-resistant rubber gasket. Certainly, a connection manner of the feeding pipe 1344 and the buffer tank is not limited thereto, and merely sealed communication between the feeding pipe 1344 and the buffer tank needs to be ensured.

The power portion includes a first motor 1337 having an output shaft, a driving pulley 1338, a driven pulley 1339, and a timing belt 1346. The driving pulley 1338 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the first motor 1337 in a keyed connection, the driven pulley 1339 is fixedly mounted on the hollow shaft 1345 in the keyed connection, and the timing belt 1346 is sleeved on the driving pulley 1338 and the driven pulley 1339. Because the spinneret 1340 is fixedly mounted at a lower end of the hollow shaft 1345, when the first motor 1337 drives the driving pulley 1338 to rotate, the driving pulley 1338 drives, through the timing belt 1346 and the driven pulley 1339, the hollow shaft 1345 to rotate, thereby driving the spinneret 1340 to rotate.

At least one through hole 1348 is processed on the spinneret 1340, and the spinning solution can be ejected from the through hole 1348 during high-speed rotation of the spinneret 1340.

To adjust a height of the spinneret 1340 to ensure a reasonable distance between the spinneret 1340 and the collection device 14, the spinner device 133 further includes a height adjustment device for adjusting the distance between the spinneret 1340 and the collection device 14.

The height adjustment device includes a support plate 1353 for fixedly mounting the spinneret 1340, a guide rod 1334 connected to the support plate 1353, a linear bearing 1335 sleeved around a periphery of the guide rod 1334, a substrate 1336 mounted on the transverse strut 1324, an adjusting plate 1333 connected to an other end of the guide rod 1334, and an adjusting screw rod 1332 mounted on the adjusting plate 1333 by a bearing seat. The linear bearing 1335 is fixedly mounted on the substrate 1336. A nut 1350 is disposed on the adjusting plate 1333, the adjusting plate 1333 is disposed above the substrate 1336, and the adjusting screw rod 1332 and the nut 1350 are engaged to adjust a distance between the support plate 1353 and the collection device 14.

In this implementation, two linear bearings 1335 are disposed, and correspondingly, two guide rods 1334 are disposed. The two guide rods 1334 are respectively sleeved in the two linear bearings 1335. Preferably, a hand wheel 1331 is fixedly mounted on an upper end of the adjusting screw rod 1332. With such disposition, the hand wheel 1331 is manually rotated, the adjusting screw rod 1332 is driven to rotate in the nut 1350, and a distance between the adjusting plate 1333 and the substrate 1336 is adjusted, so that a distance between the transverse strut 1324 and the support plate 1353 is adjusted. The transverse strut 1324 is stationary, and therefore the distance between the spinneret 1340 on the support plate 1353 and the collection device 14 is further changed.

The spinner device 133 further includes a buffer tank support 1351 for fixing the buffer tank and a linear motor support 1352 for fixing the first motor 1337, and both the buffer tank support 1351 and the linear motor support 1352 are fixed on the support plate 1353.

That is, the spinning solution is ejected from the through hole 1348 on the spinneret 1340 during high-speed rotation of the spinneret 1340. Under the combined action of the air resistance, the viscous force of the fluid, and an inertial force of the fluid, and under the action of a pair of axial stresses formed in an axial direction of a jet, the diffusive jet is formed in a fan-shaped area, and a radius of yarns gradually increases at this time. Next, an airflow field caused by the high-speed rotation of the spinneret 1340 starts to guide the jet to draw and stretch, and under the action of gravity, a jet trajectory gradually deflects downward, and the spinning radius gradually decreases. After a process of forming, stretching, and compressing of the jet, fibers finally formed descend in a spiral line and are collected on the collection device 14, and finally form a uniform centrifugal spinning fiber web 5.

Referring to FIG. 6 in combination with FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the feeding device 12 is fixedly mounted at a bottom of the frame 11. The feeding device 12 includes a storage tank 121 containing the spinning solution and a flow pump 123 in communication with the storage tank 121 through pipelines. The flow pump 123 is connected to a plurality of buffer tanks through pipelines, and feeds the plurality of buffer tanks simultaneously. The flow pump 123 pumps the spinning solution in the storage tank 121 into the plurality of buffer tanks.

Particularly, an electric switch valve 124 is disposed on the pipeline between the flow pump 123 and the buffer tank. The flow pump 123 is in a working state all the time, and the electric switch valve 124 is switched to control whether the spinning solution enters the buffer tank.

A liquid-level meter 122 is disposed in the storage tank 121. When a level of the spinning solution in the storage tank 121 is lower than the liquid-level meter 122, the liquid-level meter 122 sends a signal to a control system 16, the control system 16 issues an alarm to an operator, and the operator makes supplement to the storage tank 121.

The liquid-level meter 122 is alternatively disposed in the buffer tank. When a level of the spinning solution in one of the plurality of buffer tanks is lower than a height of the liquid-level meter 122, the liquid-level meter 122 in the buffer tank sends the signal to the control system 16, the control system 16 controls the electric switch valve 124 corresponding to the buffer tank to be turned on, and the spinning solution in the pipeline enters the buffer tank.

A flow meter 125 is alternatively disposed on the pipeline between the flow pump 123 and the buffer tank. When the electric switch valve 124 is turned on to feed the buffer tank, the flow meter 125 detects a flow of the spinning solution entering the buffer tank. When a set value is reached, the flow meter 125 sends a signal to the control system 16, and the control system 16 controls the electric switch valve 124 to be turned off to stop feeding the buffer tank.

A stirrer 126 is mounted in the storage tank 121. The stirrer 126 stirs the spinning solution in the storage tank 121 while the buffer tank is fed.

Referring to FIG. 7, the collection device 14 includes a transmission traction device 141 mounted on the frame 11, a collection belt 142, and a horizontal support plate 143 disposed below the collection belt 142 and configured to support the collection belt 142. The horizontal support plate 143 is configured to ensure that the collection belt 142 is in a horizontal state, so that a fiber web formed by the spinning solution can be conveniently collected. The collection belt 142 is an annular belt sleeved on the transmission traction device 141, and the transmission traction device 141 drives the collection belt 142 to perform a circular movement in a fixed direction.

In this way, the spinning solution in the spinneret 1340 is ejected during high-speed rotation of the spinneret 1340, due to the action of centrifugal force and gravity, the spinning solution is formed into fibers instantly at the moment of ejection, and the fibers are attached to the collection belt 142 to form the fiber web. As the collection belt 142 moves forward, the fiber web is tiled on the collection belt 142 uniformly.

A material of the collection belt 142 is polytetrafluoroethylene, preventing the collection belt 142 from being corroded by the spinning solution.

Preferably, the collection device 14 further includes an air draft device (not shown) disposed below the horizontal support plate 143. At the same time, the collection belt 142 is made into a mesh structure, and dense through holes are processed on the horizontal support plate 143. With such disposition, a negative pressure can be formed on a surface of the collection belt 142, and the negative pressure absorbs the centrifugal spinning fiber web 5 attached to the surface of the collection belt 142 onto the collection belt 142, so that a case that, due to the relatively light fiber web formed by ejection of the spinning solution, the fiber web is blown up by air and falls off from the collection belt 142 during movement of the collection belt 142 can be avoided, thereby improving the production efficiency.

A moving speed of the collection belt 142 is 0 to 10 m/min. According to experimental measurements, when a distance between the spinneret 1340 and the collection belt 142 is between 0 to 100 mm, the spinning effect is the best.

the control system 16 controls the feeding device 12 to feed the spinning device 14; and a volume of the spinning solution in the buffer tank is detected by the flow meter 125 and the liquid-level meter 122, and the feeding is stopped when a monitoring value reaches the set value;

the control system 16 controls the temperature control device 15 to adjust the temperature of the semi-closed cavity on the frame 11, to ensure that spinning raw material are in a best spinning state;

the control system 16 controls an operation of the transmission traction device 141 at the same time, to enable the moving speed of the collection belt 142 to reach the set value; and

finally, the first motor 1337 is started, the spinneret 1340 starts to rotate at the high speed to spin, and the fibers formed by the spinning descend in the spiral line and are collected on the collection belt 142, and finally form the uniform centrifugal spinning fiber web 5.

Referring to FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the winding device 3 includes an upper winding frame 306, and a first guide roller 303, a limit roller 302, a tension adjusting roller 305, a second guide roller 301, and a winding roller 319 that are sequentially disposed on the upper winding frame 306 in a movement direction of the centrifugal spinning fiber web 5.

The centrifugal spinning fiber web 5 is guided into the winding device 3 by the first guide roller 303 and is wound on the winding roller 319 after being guided by the tension adjusting roller 305 and the second guide roller 301. Particularly, the limit roller 302 is disposed obliquely above the first guide roller 303, thereby ensuring that the centrifugal spinning fiber web 5 is only disposed between the first guide roller 303 and the limit roller 302.

The first deviation correcting device 322 is mounted on a lower portion of the upper winding frame 306, and includes a lower winding frame 313, a linear servo motor 309, a connecting seat 308 connecting an output shaft of the linear servo motor 309 and the upper winding frame 306, a deviation correcting slide rail 311 mounted on the lower winding frame 313, and a deviation correcting slider 307 mounted on the upper winding frame 306.

Embodiment 5

Referring to FIG. 16 to FIG. 18, the present invention further specifically relates to a plane receiving-type centrifugal spinning method, and specific steps are as follows:

1) putting polyvinyl butyral (PVB) powder into a vacuum drying oven, and drying at 70° C. for 8 hours;

2) adding absolute ethanol to the polyvinyl butyral (PVB) powder, and preparing the spinning solution with a mass fraction of 10%;

3) subjecting the spinning solution to water bath, at 80 to 90° C., over stirring by a mechanical stirrer at a constant speed for 8 hours, and placing the spinning solution in a vacuum box to stand for 1 hour, to enable bubbles in the spinning solution to disappear as much as possible; and

Embodiment 6

A plane receiving-type centrifugal spinning method includes the following specific steps:

1) putting polyvinyl butyral (PVB) powder and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) powder in a vacuum drying oven respectively, and drying at 30° C. for 8 hours; and using N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as a solvent;

Embodiment 7

A plane receiving-type centrifugal spinning method includes the following specific steps:

1) putting polyacrylonitrile (PAN) powder in a vacuum drying oven, and drying at 30° C. for 8 hours; and using N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as a solvent;

Embodiment 8 to Embodiment 10

The difference between Embodiment 8 to Embodiment 10 and Embodiment 7 lies in that, the mass fraction of the PAN in Embodiment 8 is 19%; the mass fraction of the PAN in Embodiment 9 is 20%; the mass fraction of the PAN in Embodiment 10 is 21%; and other conditions are consistent with Embodiment 7.

In view of the comparison of histograms of diameter frequency distributions of fibers (FIG. 18) at different concentrations, fiber diameters are mostly in a range of 1 to 5 where components at 21% have a small amount of nanofibers. As the concentration increases, the fiber diameter becomes larger. Because as the concentration of the solution increases, viscosity of the solution increases, a force between molecular chains becomes larger, and the molecular chain is more difficult to draw and stretch at the same rotation speed, resulting in a larger diameter.

Embodiment 11 to Embodiment 14

Referring to FIG. 19 to FIG. 22, the difference from Embodiment 5 lies in that, the rotation speed of the spinneret in Embodiment 11 is set to 5000 r/min; the rotation speed of the spinneret in Embodiment 12 is set to 6000 r/min; the rotation speed of the spinneret in Embodiment 13 is set to 7000 r/min; the rotation speed of the spinneret in Embodiment 14 is set to 8000 r/min; and other conditions are consistent with Embodiment 5.

Real-time shooting is performed by a high-speed camera with experimental records at 0s, 15s, 30s, and 45s. In a range of 5000 rpm to 6000 rpm, the centrifugal force of the PVB spinning solution ejected from the spinning nozzle gradually increases and is promptly released from the negative pressure field of the rotating spinneret under the action of the inertial force, so that a better spinning trajectory is formed around the spinneret.

Embodiment 15 to Embodiment 18

Referring to FIG. 23, the difference from Embodiment 5 lies in that, in Embodiment 15, test parameters are adjusted by the control system, and the spinning environment temperature is set to 10° C.; in Embodiment 16, test parameters are adjusted by the control system, and the spinning environment temperature is set to 25° C.; in Embodiment 17, test parameters are adjusted by the control system, and the spinning environment temperature is set to 40° C.; in Embodiment 18, test parameters are adjusted by the control system, and the spinning environment temperature is set to 55° C.; and other conditions are consistent with Embodiment 5.

When the temperature is 10° C., the PVB spinning solution presents a typical viscous behavior. As the temperature rises, an elastic behavior of a PVB spinning solution system increases at this time. After a gel point, the PVB spinning solution presents the typical elastic behavior at this time, and no occurrence of a plateau indicates that a gel process of the PVB spinning solution is a physical process.

Embodiment 19

The difference from the Embodiment 5 lies in that Embodiment 19 uses the apparatus in Embodiment 1 for spinning. The spinneret 1340 in Embodiment 1 is processed with through holes 1348, and the spinning solution is ejected from the through holes 1348 during the high-speed rotation of the spinneret 1340.

Embodiment 20

Referring to FIG. 24 to FIG. 25, the difference from Embodiment 5 lies in that Embodiment 20 uses the apparatus in Embodiment 4 for spinning. The spinning nozzle 1354 is mounted on the spinneret 1340 in Embodiment 4, the structure of the spinning nozzle 1354 is stepped-shaped, and the spinning solution in the spinneret 1340 is ejected from the spinning nozzle 1354.

The processes of centrifugal spinning in Embodiment 5, Embodiment 19 and Embodiment 20 are captured by the high-speed camera, and are photographed at the four time points of 0s, 5s, 10s, and 15s.

In Embodiment 5, the PVB spinning solution is ejected from the cone-shaped spinning nozzle, is formed into PVB fibers after stretching, compressing, and curing, and takes the spiral line as the spinning trajectory. The fibers are collected on a fiber collection surface under the action of the gravity thereof. A radius of the spinning trajectory is relatively large, and therefore the PVB fibers are less affected by the force of the negative pressure field below the rotated spinneret, and the spinning trajectory has better stability.

In Embodiment 19, the PVB spinning solution is turned into droplets and falls on the collection belt, and the PVB centrifugal spinning cannot be performed under this condition.

In Embodiment 20, the PVB spinning solution is ejected from the stepped-shaped spinning nozzle, is formed into PVB fibers after stretching, compressing, and curing, and takes the spiral line as the spinning trajectory. On the one hand, the fibers are collected on the collection belt under the joint action of the gravity thereof and the negative pressure field below the rotated spinneret. On the other hand, under the action of the negative pressure field below the rotated spinneret, the PVB fibers collected on the collection belt tend to move toward the bottom of the spinneret, thereby winding on an outer wall of the spinneret and the spinning nozzle.

Embodiment 21 to Embodiment 23

Referring to FIG. 26 to FIG. 28, the difference from Embodiment 5 lies in that the spinneret aperture in Embodiment 21 is 0.25 mm; the spinneret aperture in Embodiment 22 is 0.41 mm; the spinneret aperture in Embodiment 23 is 0.64 mm; and other conditions are consistent with Embodiment 5.

The experimental process is captured by the high-speed camera, and real-time capturing is performed at four time points of 0s, 15s, 30s, and 45s. As an aperture of the spinning nozzle deceases, the surface evenness of the diameter between the prepared PVB fibers is improved. However, there are more multifilaments in the prepared PVB fibers, that is, there are a plurality of fibers in a PVB fiber.

Embodiment 24 to Embodiment 25

Referring to FIG. 29 to FIG. 30, the difference from Embodiment 5 lies in that in Embodiment 24, a distance between the collection belt and the spinneret is 40 mm; and in Embodiment 25, the distance between the collection belt and the spinneret is 60 mm.

The experimental process is captured by the high-speed camera, and real-time capturing is performed at four time points of 0s, 15s, 30s, and 45s.

As the collection height increases, there are more multifilaments in the prepared PVB fibers, that is, there are a plurality of fibers in a PVB fiber, and the diameter unevenness between the PVB fibers gradually increases.

Finally, it should be noted that the foregoing embodiments are merely used for describing the technical solutions of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention is described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it should be appreciated by a person skilled in the art that, modifications may still be made to the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent replacements may be made to the part of all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements will not cause the essence of corresponding technical solutions to depart from the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention.
