As described in the utility model, the utility model provides the polyamide polymer of extruding by cutting and has adjusted the apparatus and method that kinds of processes parameter forms the homogeneous particle of polyamide polymer.Especially, device of the present utility model allows to regulate the first technological parameter in response to the change of above-mentioned other a kind of technological parameter, and described the first technological parameter comprises cutting speed, extrudes valve opening and container pressure.In addition, on the one hand, can adjust two technological parameters in response to the 3rd technological parameter.In one embodiment, although adjustable any technological parameter or two technological parameters, the technological parameter being conditioned can be or can comprise container pressure.On the other hand, the technological parameter being conditioned can be maybe can comprise and extrude valve opening.On the other hand, the technological parameter being conditioned can be maybe can comprise cutting speed.
Forward now Fig. 2 to, device for the manufacture of homogeneous polyamide granules can comprise container 20, as being similar to the autoclave as shown in Figure 1A and/or Figure 1B, described container 20 comprises pressure controller (it can be the form of inlet line/valve 28, discharge pipe/valve 30 and/or heating component 26).Although it should be noted that the heating component that has shown external jacket, can replace with or increase inner heating component.Also shown and extruded valve 34 for what polymer was extruded to structure extrudes by Die and mould plate or other.Described device also can comprise cutter 36, and described cutter is configured to have the cutting speed of the polyamide granules that is applicable to cutting homogeneous.For example, described cutter can be revolution cutter, and it is configured to cut very fast during by it when the polymer being extruded.Described device also can comprise process controller 60, and it can comprise pressure control module 70, cutting speed module 80 and extrude valve module 90.Described device also can comprise plate 38, slurry collection equipment 40, slurry pipeline 42 and drier/circulator 44.
In the further description of the process controller 60 about described device, can automatically implement with multiple module 70,80,90 general utility functions or the processing step of automation equipment.For example, can control imported valve 28, autoclave ventilating opening 30 and heating component 26 by pressure control unit 70, with the adjusting of authorized pressure.Can control cutter 36 by cutting speed module 80.Can control and extrude valve 34 by extruding valve module 90.Other module (not shown)s that can exist, include but not limited to agitator module, drier module, heating component module etc.Described module can be worked simultaneously, to cause the mode of the polyamide granules of homogeneous that automated system is provided.
Fig. 3 has set forth the figure of explanation embodiment, and in an embodiment, these modules are worked simultaneously and realized the remarkable homogeneity according to embodiment of the present utility model.Particularly, Fig. 3 has illustrated the casting figure according to the technological parameter of the device of embodiment of the present utility model.Particularly, this figure provides during casting as the autoclave pressure of passing through single batch casting method of the function of time, from the output of the polyamide polymer of autoclave, has linearizingly extruded valve figure, and cutting speed.As shown in the figure, regulate kinds of processes parameter that substantially invariable output is provided under high cutting speed, and the automatic mode that also keeps high throughput rate when keeping particle homogeneity is provided thus.
In the chart of Fig. 3, also should be noted that and changed cutting speed, and cutting speed and output is substantially proportional,, when output rises or decline (as shown in the chart), cutting speed rises equally respectively and declines.Because term " substantially " relates to output or relative coupling proportional with cutting speed, it may be defined as any matching degree, under this matching degree, the average quality of a collection of particle of homogeneous is that to have the Individual Quality of at least 95% individual particles be described average quality to described a collection of particle in 10%.By basic coupling cutting speed, to the relatively moving of output, can keep homogeneity.As a result, pressure controller has kept output in rational scope with the use of extruding valve, for realizing effective sectility face.For example, in the efficient system of the high yield providing in the pressure by applicable and linear valve aperture, cutting speed can be carried out to relative coupling with output.Should notice that cutting speed also rises when output rises.
Turn back to Fig. 2, as described in the utility model, the pressure of container 20 can be spontaneous, or can generate from external pressure source.In addition, can regulate pressure with heat, pressure source (not shown) and/or air vent 30.Extrude valve 34 general control apertures, polyamide polymer is extruded from described opening.In some respects, extrude valve opening and can be called as the linear aperture of extruding valve." linearity " used herein refer to be equivalent to described valve opening (opening region) than the mathematic(al) manipulation of the percentage of the material of extruding by opening.For example, " linearity " aperture of 50% refers to from 100%(100% and refers to the heap(ed) capacity while opening valve completely) total amount in from opening, extrude 50% material, even if valve opening (opening region) the obtained aperture that may not be 50%.It should be noted that when valve and do not set and approach 100% while opening, have the control of the output of more polyamide polymer far away.When valve proximity 70% or 80% aperture, the control of output is significantly reduced.For example, the aperture of valve is changed to 50% pair of output from 40% and there is relatively significant effect, and valve is reached to 90% pair of output from 80%, there is very little effect.Therefore, it is desirable to keep valve as far as possible in the scope of approximately 30% to 70% aperture, and more typically during polymer casting process, remain in 35% to 60% scope.In order to complete this target, can change pressure and/or cutting speed and keep valve opening in the preferred range.Although described these, these are not what be strict with.This has been to provide a kind of mechanism, to keep the maximum flexibility about the aperture of squeezing valve.
Be back to the multiple adjusting of technological parameter, can in response to the variation of other technological parameters, carry out the adjusting of described kinds of processes parameter, should be noted that the adjusting of technological parameter can be carried out successively or simultaneously (or carrying out successively) within the overlapping time.In one embodiment, can regulate in response to the variation of the 3rd technological parameter more than one technological parameter.In order to provide embodiment to illustrate that why these technological parameters can benefit from change, once should be noted that from HIGH PRESSURE TREATMENT container and start extrusion, the polyamide polymer conventionally wherein containing does not also finish its polymerization process completely.Therefore, polyamide polymer can continue further multiviscosisty during extrusion.Have been found that under this condition and can not keep simply output and prior particle homogeneity by independent increase pressure.Similarly, only further open and extrude valve 34 and also can always not make up fully the polymer of multiviscosisty.In addition,, even by controlling together two in these parameters, adjust cutting speed if not the variation based on output, the homogeneity of polyamide granules also can suffer damage.
About described adjusting, device of the present utility model allows the more effective adjusting to output, and mates to provide the former homogeneity not realizing in conjunction with cutting speed and output.Particularly, there are two variablees that affect actual production: i) extrude valve opening, the raising of aperture causes the raising of output, and ii) autoclave pressure, the raising of autoclave pressure also causes the raising of output.Extrude valve opening and be applicable to the measured output of Fast Correction.But, by the aperture of four corner, keep constant output normally very limited.In addition,, while reducing autoclave pressure during casting, in autoclave, may there is the significant bubble of polymer.This makes autoclave pressure be not suitable as the Main Means of controlling output.In order to overcome these two, become quantitative limitation, with valve, export to control output.Then, each valve opening is exported when above in the target limiting, and just further increases the pressure of autoclave.With a plurality of variablees, control output more efficient than conventional art far away.Further, embodiment of the present utility model allows cutting speed to mate to provide the particle homogeneity that there is no realization before with output.
Therefore, device of the present utility model comprises by the pressure, the valve opening of variation and the cutting speed of variation that change controls productive rate, and therefore controls particle homogeneity, realizes the particle of homogeneous with effective means.Therefore, in a specific embodiment, exemplary output can be in the scope of 2 to 10 tphs or 5 to 9 tphs, or more particularly, 6 to 8 tphs.Exemplary pressure during extruding can be at 0 to 12 bar, 1 to 10 bar, or in the scope of 5 to 10 bar.Exemplary valve opening level can be in 30% to 70% scope, or in 45% to 65% scope.Use the exemplary cutting speed of helical cutters or other similar rotary cutters in 100 to 2000RPM scope, 400 to 1800RPM, or in 600 to 1500RPM scope.Conventionally, during casting, these technological parameters are remained within the scope of these, and by adjust described parameter within the scope of these, can realize the homogeneity of polyamide granules.Although stated above-mentioned these, also can use the technological parameter beyond these scopes, as long as can keep as particle homogeneity described in the utility model.
Can by extruding valve 34 apertures, control output at least in part, can control cutting speed by cutter 36, and can come controlled pressure to control output by one or more pressure controllers 26,28,30.Although adjustable, surpass the homogeneity that a technological parameter maintains polyamide granules, in a concrete embodiment, pressure and/or cutting speed can allow operation in linear aperture is 30% to 70%, 35 to 65% or 40% to 60% scope to extrude valve.In addition, for desirable efficiency is provided, in one embodiment, in large system, output can be at least 5 tons/hour, or at least 7 tons/hours, and adjusting process parameter can maintain target output and changes in interior scope at 10 quality %.
Process controller 60 is generally connected with container network with cutter 36 by computer, other computing equipments or other network equipments.Device of the present utility model can be the automatics of using multiple module.In one embodiment, in response to cutting speed or the change of extruding the aperture of valve 34, pressure control module 70 capable of regulating pressure controllers 26,28,30.On the one hand, in response to cutting speed and the change of extruding the aperture of valve, pressure control module capable of regulating pressure controller.In another embodiment, in response to pressure or the change of extruding the aperture of valve, the cutting speed of cutting speed module 80 capable of regulating cutters 36.On the one hand, in response to pressure and the change of extruding the aperture of valve, cutting speed module capable of regulating cutting speed.In another embodiment, in response to the change of cutting speed or pressure, extrude valve module capable of regulating and extrude valve.On the one hand, in response to the change of cutting speed and pressure, extrude valve module capable of regulating and extrude valve.Similarly, module of the present utility model can be worked through process controller simultaneously, during casting, to be enough to provide the mode of the polyamide granules of consistent and homogeneous to carry out adjusting process parameter.
