Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of manufacture of cables and son, and more particularly the step during which a surface treatment of these son is carried out.
  • wire In the context of the present description, the term wire must be understood in a completely general sense, encompassing a mono filament, a multi filament, a cord or a plied or an equivalent assembly, and this, whatever the material, textile or metallic, constituting the wire.
  • the invention is concerned with treatments in which, during a first step, is deposited on the surface of the wire a thin layer of a treatment product in liquid form.
  • This treatment product may for example be formed of a solvent and an active solute or a product capable of polymerizing.
  • the next treatment step is then to extract the solvent, so as to leave only the active product on the surface of the wire or let the polymerization reaction finish, or to achieve a combination of these two actions.
  • Particular attention must then be paid to the precise amount of liquid deposit present on the surface of the wire. It is important to ensure that the liquid layer deposited, and generally thin, is as regular as possible to ensure the regularity of the treatment and the properties of the wire along its length.
  • the known techniques of wetting or coating consist in circulating the wire in a bath containing the treatment liquid that is desired to deposit. By soaking in the bath, the yarn impregnates the liquid solution and then leaves in the direction of the treatment step during which the drying or the polymerization is carried out.
  • the invention aims to provide a solution to this problem.
  • the device for depositing a treatment product on the surface of a continuous yarn comprises: means for impregnating by dipping the yarn in a bath intended to contain a solution of the treatment product under liquid form, and wherein the wire flows when the device is in operation, dewatering means, placed downstream of the impregnation means, able to remove excess liquid carried by the wire, treatment means arranged downstream of the dewatering means, able to pass the liquid solution remaining on the solid phase wire, means capable of guiding and circulating the wire from the input to the output of the device in a direction df and a speed V f
  • This device is characterized in that the dewatering means comprise means capable of projecting said treatment liquid at a regulated speed and appropriately, towards the wire in the form of convergent jets and in directions, the direction makes an obtuse angle ⁇ with the direction of flow of said wire, so as to adjust the thickness e of liquid remaining on the wire output of said dewatering means.
  • the jets thus project the liquid on the wire at a speed whose component is in the same direction as the wire but in the opposite direction to the direction of progression of the wire, and which has the effect of scraping the excess liquid entrained by thread.
  • the device serving as a support for the present description comprises impregnation means 2, dewatering means 3 of the processing means and means embodied by return pulleys, able to circulate a wire 10 from the inlet (51) to the outlet (54) of the device, between and inside the impregnation means (52, 53).
  • the impregnating means 2 are formed, for example, of a tank 25 containing a treatment liquid.
  • This treatment liquid may be a solute diluted in a solvent or an organic compound capable of polymerizing under the action of heat or a source of energy such as laser or UV radiation.
  • the continuous wire 10 is driven into the tray 25 by drive means (not visualized) such as a motorized pulley, from a wire source (not shown).
  • the wire moves in the processing device at a speed Vf.
  • the wire can be repacked for a subsequent production step, or directly integrated with the material to be reinforced.
  • the wire 10 is impregnated with the treatment liquid 20 which also forms a layer 23 over the entire surface of the wire. It will be observed, as already mentioned above, that the wire acts as a pump, and that the quantity of treatment liquid carried by the wire increases as the circulation velocity V f increases. Also, when one seeks to increase the speed Vf for obvious reasons of productivity, the amount of liquid deposited on the wire increases, and there is an imperative need to regulate the thickness e liquid (see locket).
  • the dewatering means are formed of a central channel 34 through which the wire 10 flows at the speed V f , in a direction and a direction d f , corresponding substantially to the longitudinal direction of the channel 34.
  • the means Spin 3 may advantageously be oriented so that the direction of flow f of the wire is directed vertically from bottom to top.
  • the dewatering means 3 also comprise an inlet 31 through which the pressurized treatment liquid 20 enters a chamber 32.
  • the treatment liquid is expelled by nozzles 33 in the form of jets 21 converging toward the wire 10 at a speed V j .
  • the jets are oriented so that the direction d, of projection of the liquid on the wire makes an obtuse angle ⁇ with the direction d f of circulation of the wire.
  • the collision of the jets 21 on the surface of the wire 10 has the effect of ejecting the excess liquid in the form of splash 22, which can be recovered in a suitably shaped container.
  • the wall 26 of the tank 25 can be raised to ensure that these surplus treatment liquid drops back into the tank 25 by simple gravity.
  • a recirculation pump 27 sucks the treatment liquid through a conduit 28 to supply the chamber 32 under pressure.
  • the internal walls 33 a, 33 b are in the form of nested cones sections, the axis substantially corresponding to the channel axis 34, and whose generatrices form an external angle equal to the angle ⁇ .
  • the processing means 4 Downstream of the dewatering means 3 are arranged the processing means 4 which are intended to fix the treatment liquid and to pass said liquid from the liquid phase in solid or plastic phase.
  • These means may, by way of example, include heating means for evaporating the solvent from the treatment liquid or starting a polymerization reaction which will freezing the treatment product on the surface of the wire 10.
  • This reaction can also be generated by other means such as induction heating means, UV radiation or laser radiation or any other means capable of adhering the products of treatment contained in the treatment liquid on the surface of the wire.
  • One of the interesting features of the device according to the invention is that it is possible to circulate the wire from the outlet of the impregnation means 2 materialized by the line AA, until the output of the materialized processing means 4 by the line BB without the wire comes into contact with the walls of the channel 34, or with a return pulley belonging to the guide system.
  • the wire flows freely between the return pulleys 53 and 54.
