Detailed Description
Exemplary embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the detailed description is only intended to teach one skilled in the art how to practice the present application, and is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the scope of the application.
(first embodiment)
Fig. 1 and 2 show a spinneret-hole-free melt-blown spinning apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present application, which may include a melt supply unit 1, a gas supply unit 2, and a collection unit 3.
The melt supply unit 1 may include a melt tank 11, a heat source (not shown in the drawings), a carrier 12, a support 13, and a moving body 14. Specifically, the melt tank 11 may be made of stainless steel, which may define a receiving space 11a for receiving the melt 1a. The heat source may be an electric heating element, which may be mounted to the melt tank 11. For example, the heat source may be a tubular electric heater element. The carrier 12 may be a flexible body, such as stainless steel wire. A plurality of (three as illustrated) carriers 12 may be arranged side by side and spaced apart from each other in the axial direction of the support body 13. The support 13 may be a roller, and a plurality of (four as illustrated) supports 13 may be arranged parallel to each other. Two of the four support bodies 13 may be located in the accommodating space 11a, and the other two support bodies 13 of the four support bodies 13 may be located above the melt tank 11. The moving body 14 may include two arms 14a fixed to each other, and the two arms 14a may be spaced apart. One end of the carrier 12 may be fixed to one arm 14a and the other end of the carrier 12 may be fixed to the other arm 14 a. The carrier 12 may abut against four supports 13 such that the carrier 12 can be supported in a U-shaped configuration under the guidance of the supports 13. The bottom of the U-shaped structure may be located in the receiving space 11a.
Further, the carrier 12 may have a particular diameter. For example, the diameter of the support 12 may be 0.1mm to 0.5mm. Thus, the carrier 12 does not carry too much melt 1a due to its excessively large diameter to form droplets of the melt 1a, or does not carry too little melt 1a due to its excessively small diameter to affect the spinning efficiency. Preferably, the diameter of the support 12 may be 0.1mm, 0.2mm, 0.3mm, 0.4mm or 0.5mm. In this embodiment, the diameter of the carrier 12 may be 0.4mm.
The gas supply unit 2 may include a compressed gas source 21, a pressure reducing valve 22, and a nozzle 23. Specifically, the compressed air source 21 may be an air compressor, and an output end of the air compressor may be connected to the nozzle 23 through a pressure reducing valve 22. The nozzle 23 may include a hollow tube, and a plurality of hollow tubes may be arranged side by side in the axial direction of the support body 13. The internal diameter of each hollow tube may be 4mm to 10mm. In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the hollow tube may be 4mm, and the outer diameter of the hollow tube may be 6mm. The nozzle 23 may be disposed above the melt tank 11. The output end of the nozzle 23 may face the carrier 12 and be spaced apart from the carrier 12, and the air flow emitted from the nozzle 23 may pass vertically through the carrier 12. Two nozzles 23 may be provided in the U-shaped structure, and the output ends of the two nozzles 23 may be arranged opposite to each other.
Further, the nozzle 23 may be spaced a particular distance from the carrier 12. For example, the distance between the output end of the nozzle 23 and the carrier 12 may be 2mm to 10mm. In this way, the nozzle 23 is neither contaminated by the melt 1a by too small a spacing distance nor is there a large dissipation of the gas flow by too large a spacing distance. Preferably, the distance between the output of the nozzle 23 and the carrier 12 may be 2mm, 4mm, 6mm, 8mm or 10mm. In this embodiment, the distance between the output end of the nozzle 23 and the carrier 12 may be 4mm.
The collecting unit 3 may comprise a collecting body 31, and the collecting body 31 may be a hollow cage. In particular, the collection body 31 may be spaced apart from the nozzle 23, and the output end of the nozzle 23 may be directed at the collection body 31. A portion of the support 12 may be located between the collection body 31 and the nozzle 23.
The following describes a melt-blown spinning method using the orifice-free melt-blown spinning apparatus, which may generally include:
at least a part of the carrier 12 is located in the accommodation space 11a, and the melt 1a adheres to at least a part of the carrier 12;
moving at least a part of the carrier 12 from the accommodating space 11a to a flow path of the air flow; and
the melt 1a is drawn off by the gas stream.
The state shown in fig. 2 may be an initial state of the orifice-less melt-blown spinning apparatus. Specifically, the user may place the raw material of the melt 1a in the accommodation space 11a. The raw material may be polypropylene, and the mass of the raw material may be 20g. The heat source may heat the raw material and transform the raw material into melt 1a, and the heating temperature may be 220 ℃. After the raw material is converted into the melt 1a, the melt 1a may adhere to the bottom of the U-shaped structure. The moving body 14 can be moved to one side (right side in fig. 2) so that the melt 1a can be conveyed by the carrier 12 to the flow path of the gas flow of one nozzle 23 (right nozzle in fig. 2). The gas flow may draw the melt 1a adhering to the carrier 12 into a jet. Micro-nanofibers can be formed after the jet flow is solidified, and the micro-nanofibers can be attached to the collector 31 along with the air flow.
Thereafter, the moving body 14 can be moved to the other side (left side in fig. 2) so that the melt 1a can be conveyed by the carrier 12 to the flow path of the gas flow of the other nozzle 23 (left nozzle in fig. 2). The moving body 14 can reciprocate between one side and the other side so that the carrier 12 can reciprocate in the extending direction thereof, and the melt 1a can be alternately drawn by the air streams ejected from the two nozzles 23.
Compared with the traditional melt-blown spinning device, the melt 1a is conveyed by the carrier 12, and the melt-blown spinning device without the spinneret orifices can carry out melt-blown spinning without using a melt-blown die head, so that the problem that the melt 1a blocks the spinneret orifices is avoided, and the stability of the melt-blown spinning device is effectively improved.
Further, the carrier 12 may transport the melt 1a at a specific speed. For example, the moving speed of the carrier 12 may be 0.5cm/s to 20cm/s. Therefore, the melt 1a is not solidified due to the too slow moving speed of the carrier 12, and large liquid drops are not formed due to the too fast moving speed of the carrier 12, so that the quality of the micro-nano fibers is not influenced. Preferably, the carrier 12 may be fed at a speed of 0.5cm/s, 1cm/s, 2cm/s, 5cm/s, 10cm/s or 20cm/s. In the present embodiment, the feeding speed of the carrier 12 may be 5cm/s.
By adjusting the pressure reducing valve 22, the air flow can be ejected from the nozzle 23 at a specific pressure. For example, the gauge pressure of the gas stream may be from 0.01MPa to 1MPa. When the gauge pressure of the gas flow is within the above range, the drawn melt 1a is continuous and uniform. Thus, the melt 1a is not sufficiently drawn due to an excessively low gauge pressure of the gas flow, nor is it crushed due to an excessively high gauge pressure of the gas flow. Preferably, the gauge pressure of the gas stream may be 0.01MPa, 0.05MPa, 0.1MPa, 0.2MPa, 0.5MPa or 1MPa. In this embodiment, the gauge pressure of the gas stream may be 0.08MPa.
Referring to fig. 3, a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) image of the micro-nanofibers is shown. As can be seen from fig. 3, the micro-nanofibers are continuous and smooth.
(second embodiment)
The orifice-less melt-blown spinning apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present application is a modification of the first embodiment, and a detailed description is omitted for the same or similar features as the first embodiment.
In this embodiment, still referring to fig. 1 and 2, the melt tank 11 may be made of an aluminum alloy. The nozzle 23 may be an air knife, and the width of the nozzle 23 may be 1cm to 10cm. For example, the width of the nozzle 23 may be 3cm and the distance between the output end of the nozzle 23 and the carrier 12 may be 6mm. The compressed gas source 21 may be a high pressure gas cylinder. The moving speed of the carrier 12 may be 4cm/s. The raw material of the melt 1a may be pitch, and the mass of the raw material may be 30g. The heating temperature of the heat source may be 310 ℃.
Referring to fig. 4, a scanning electron microscope image of the micro-nanofiber produced in the present embodiment is shown. As can be seen from fig. 4, the micro-nanofibers are continuous and smooth.
(third embodiment)
The orifice-less melt-blown spinning apparatus according to the third embodiment of the present application is a modification of the first embodiment, and the same reference numerals are used in this embodiment for the same or similar features as those of the first embodiment, and detailed description of these features is omitted.
Referring to fig. 5, in the present embodiment, the carrier 12 may be a belt-shaped mesh, and the width of the carrier 12 may be 2cm. The melt 1a may cover the mesh on the carrier 12, and the gas stream ejected from the nozzle 23 may penetrate the mesh and draw the melt 1a covering the mesh. The nozzle 23 may be an air knife, and the width of the nozzle 23 may be 1cm to 10cm. For example, the width of the nozzle 23 may be 3cm and the distance between the output end of the nozzle 23 and the carrier 12 may be 2mm. The moving speed of the carrier 12 may be 3cm/s. The raw material of the melt 1a may be polycarbosilane, and the mass of the raw material may be 25g. The heating temperature of the heat source may be 230 ℃. The gauge pressure of the gas stream may be 0.1MPa.
Further, the carrier 12 may have a specific mesh size. For example, the mesh size of the carrier 12 may be 10 mesh to 2000 mesh. Thus, the spinneret-hole-free melt-blowing spinning device does not have low spinning efficiency due to the small mesh number of the carrier 12, and the jet flows formed by the melt 1a do not interfere with each other due to the large mesh number of the carrier 12. Preferably, the mesh size of the carrier 12 may be 20 mesh, 50 mesh, 80 mesh, 100 mesh, 200 mesh, 500 mesh, 800 mesh, 1000 mesh, 1500 mesh or 2000 mesh. In this embodiment, the mesh number of the carrier 12 may be 50 mesh.
Referring to fig. 6, it shows a scanning electron microscope image of the micro-nanofiber produced in this embodiment. As can be seen from fig. 6, the micro-nanofibers are continuous and smooth.

It is to be understood that the heat source may be in direct contact with the raw material or melt 1a of the melt 1a, or the raw material or melt 1a of the melt 1a may be heated by a heat medium. For example, the heat medium may be the wall of the melt tank 11 and the heat transfer oil.
It should be understood that the raw materials of melt 1a are not limited to polypropylene, pitch, and polycarbosilane, and may include any possible material known to those skilled in the art. For example, the raw material of the melt 1a may include a high molecular material and an inorganic non-metallic material.

The inorganic non-metallic material comprises one or more of silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, boron oxide and aluminum silicate.
It should be understood that the carrier 12 is not limited to being a flexible body, and may be, for example, a rigid body. In the first and second embodiments, the carrier 12 is not limited to being made of stainless steel. For example, the carrier 12 may also be made of copper or nichrome. The number of the carriers 12 is not limited to three, and it may be single or plural. The carrier 12 is not limited to being continuously extended, but may be discontinuous.
It should be understood that the melt tank 11 is not limited to being made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy. For example, the melt tank 11 may be made of enamel.
It should be understood that the support body 13 is not limited to being a roller. For example, the support body 13 may be a shaft body fixed to the melt tank 11.
