Detailed Description
The invention relates to a drying method of nylon powder suspension for laser sintering, which comprises the steps of firstly carrying out centrifugal treatment on the nylon powder suspension to remove most of solvent in the suspension so as to obtain nylon wet powder, then sieving the nylon wet powder to reduce agglomeration of the wet powder, then carrying out microwave drying to remove the solvent in the wet powder so as to reduce the moisture content of the powder to a certain value so as to obtain semi-dry powder, crushing the semi-dry powder by a crusher, sieving the semi-dry powder by a vibrating sieve, carrying out microwave drying to obtain dry powder, and carrying out sieving treatment on the dry powder so as to obtain powder particles with the particle size range of 30-120 micrometers.
The inventor of the invention thinks that the nylon powder suspension prepared by the solvent precipitation method contains a large amount of solvent, the mass of the solvent is often several times of that of the nylon resin, if the powder suspension is directly dried, a large amount of heat is consumed, most of the solvent is removed by centrifugally treating the suspension, so that the energy is saved, and the drying efficiency is improved; the 'wet powder' obtained after centrifugation is often agglomerated to a certain degree, if the 'wet powder' is directly subjected to microwave drying without treatment, the agglomerates are adhered together along with the rise of temperature and the volatilization of a solvent to generate 'hard blocks' during microwave drying, the 'hard blocks' are often difficult to be crushed into powder particles below 150 microns at normal temperature, so that the powder particles cannot be used for selective laser sintering, the material waste is caused, the 'wet powder' agglomeration phenomenon is improved after the 'wet powder' is treated by a vibrating screen, and the 'hard blocks' generated during microwave drying are obviously reduced; however, the powder has high humidity and still has strong adhesion, a large amount of fine hard blocks can be generated during microwave drying, in order to further eliminate the hard blocks, two-step microwave drying is adopted in the invention, the first step of microwave drying controls the humidity of the powder within a certain range to obtain semi-dry powder, the semi-dry powder can be crushed at normal temperature and can not be adhered during subsequent microwave drying, then the semi-dry powder is crushed and sieved, the particle sizes of all the semi-dry powder are below a reasonable value, and finally the semi-dry powder is further subjected to microwave drying to obtain the required powder. The method of the invention has high drying efficiency, is simple, effectively avoids the loss of materials in the process from suspension to powder, and is very suitable for industrially drying nylon powder suspension materials.
The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to specific examples.

Example 1 is to dry the suspension of nylon 1212 powder according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it can be seen that the yield of nylon 1212 powder material can reach 98.1% (nylon 1212 has a certain dissolution in ethanol, and cannot be completely precipitated from the solvent in the form of solid powder); comparative example 1, in which the process of sieving wet powders was removed, the powder yield was reduced by 16.3%, a large amount of wet powders agglomerated together after centrifugation, and the agglomerated wet powders were directly dried without sieving and agglomerated (could not be pulverized by a conventional process), resulting in powder waste; in comparative example 2, only one microwave drying is performed, the powder yield is reduced by 24.2%, and the wet powder is dried in place in one step to generate a large amount of nylon blocks (which cannot be crushed by the conventional process), so that the powder is wasted; comparative examples 1, 2 illustrate that the effect of "wet powder" sieving and secondary microwave drying on the yield of the powder material in the present invention is very critical; in examples 3 to 9, parameters such as centrifugal time, centrifugal rotation speed, screen mesh size of wet powder sieving, first microwave drying temperature, second microwave drying and the like are adjusted, and it is found that the parameters can affect the yield of powder and the final drying effect of the powder, and both efficiency and effect are considered, the inventor thinks that the drying agent is used for drying nylon 1212 powder suspension, and the scheme shown in example 1 is a preferable scheme; in examples 2-4, powders with low moisture and high yield were obtained by drying with PA6, PA46, and PA612, respectively, using the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
It should be understood that the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention are only examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention, and it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that other variations and modifications can be made on the basis of the above description, and not exhaustive enumeration of all embodiments, and obvious variations and modifications of the present invention may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
