- the magnetrons are connected to an electronic control, which is designed so that a control of the magnetron can be achieved, with which over the length of the chamber, an at least almost homogeneous plasma is formed.
- pressures below the ambient pressure can be maintained up to a pressure slightly above the ambient pressure, preferably at most 10% more.
- gases for the treatment of the fiber (s) and the plasma formation the gases usually used for this, in particular argon and nitrogen can be used.
- magnetrons may be arranged on one side of the chamber.
- the microwaves emitted by the magnetrons can be guided, as a result of their branching, in each case to coupling elements arranged opposite one another on the longitudinal sides of the chamber and into the interior of the chamber are directed from opposite direction.
- the energy of the microwaves forms a plasma of gaseous species contained within the chamber. With the achievable temperatures of the plasma formed, the production of carbon fibers can take place more effectively and in a considerably shorter time.
- Plasma can therefore always be formed between a pair of oppositely arranged coupling elements. In this case, areas occur between adjacently arranged coupling elements, in which the plasma has a lower plasma density. This can be countered with an offset of the oppositely arranged and connected to a common magnetron coupling elements in the longitudinal direction of the chamber and / or a pulsed operation of the magnetron with a phase offset.
- the phase shift can be achieved by temporarily completely switching off individual magnetrons or operating the
- Magnetrons can be achieved with targeted varying power.
- Magentrons are connected to a controller.
- the fibers 3 can be heated and modified so that a more uniform change in the
- Morphology or change of the material over the entire cross section of the fibers 3 can be achieved.
- the module shown in FIG. 1 can also be supplemented in a manner not shown by directing a laser beam onto the electrically resistance-heated fibers 3 and thereby further increasing the temperature.
- An additional heating can also be done with a separate module in which an additional subsequent heating can be done by means of laser radiation. Regardless of whether the additional heating by means of laser radiation in the module for an electrical resistance heating or a separate module can be done on the technical Teaching, as described in the also not previously published DE 10 2015 204 589, be resorted to.
- this apparatus for producing carbon fibers at least one fiber formed from a polymeric material is introduced into a heating device via an inlet lock element and can be carried out from the heating device via an outlet lock element.
- a predetermined voltage of at least one fiber is maintained.
- the heating device is designed such that a successively higher temperature results from the inlet lock element to the outlet lock element.
- There is an inert atmosphere in the heater complied with.
- at least one defocused laser beam is directed onto the surface of the at least one fiber via a window element that is transparent to the at least one laser beam and purged with an inert gas, thereby providing additional heating the at least one fiber can be reached at an elevated temperature by laser radiation absorbed by the fiber material.
- FIG. 2 shows a further example of an electrical resistance heating of fibers 3.
- fibers 3 are guided over in this example measuring rollers 11, with which an electrical current pick-up for the determination of the electrical conductivity of the fibers 3 can take place. But also sliding contacts that are pressed against the fibers 3 can be used.
- the fibers return to two successively arranged rollers 13 ', which are likewise connected in each case to a pole of an electrical DC voltage source, which is also not shown.
- the fibers 3 are hereby guided around the surfaces of the rollers 13 and 13 'such that they are guided by oppositely arranged surfaces and are in contact therewith. Thereby, the surface of fibers 3, which are simultaneously in direct contact with the electrically conductive surface of the rollers 13 and 13 ', can be increased, thereby improving the electrical current flow and the electric resistance heating with the between two rollers 13 and 13'. flowing electric current achievable increase in temperature of the fibers 3 are increased.
- the axes of rotation or central longitudinal axes of the rolls 13 and 13 'of a pair of rolls can each be arranged in different planes, so that the contact surface between the roll surface and the fibers 3 can be further increased.
- rollers 13 'in this example can be moved translationally vertically here, whereby an adjustment of the feed rate, the respective length of the fibers 3, which is influenced by the electrical resistance heating, and / or the tensile stress with the the fibers 3 can be acted upon, can be reached.
- take-off roll system 14 here with three rolls, one of which serves for deflecting and the pair of rolls for conveying the fibers 3.
- a pair of measuring rollers 11 is again arranged, with which, together with the in feed movement direction of the front pair of measuring rollers 11 determines the electrical conductivity of the fibers 3 and can be used for a regulation of the electric current and / or the feed rate of the fibers 3.
- the rollers 13 and 13 ' may be fixed so that they do not rotate. However, there is the optional possibility that they can be moved in translation. The advancing movement of the fiber (s) 3 can then be realized solely with the roller pairs 12 and 14. By varying the distance of the central longitudinal axes of juxtaposed rollers 13 and 13 ', the path traveled by the fibers 3) can be changed, so that the time in which the fiber (s) 3 are affected by the flow of electrical current can be varied can.
- a pair of measuring rollers 11 which can be used again in conjunction with the pair of measuring rollers 11 at the very end to determine the electrical conductivity of the fibers 3 is again arranged in the advancing direction of movement of the fibers 3.
- feed roller pairs 12 are again present, which serve to convey the fibers 3. Between the feed roller pairs 12 are several
- the heating elements 15 and 15 ' are each connected to a pole of a DC electrical power source (not shown), so that between them an electric current flows through the fibers 3, which leads to their heating.
- the fibers 3 are thereby moved through the heating element pairs 15 and 15 '.
- an infeed roller pair 12 is also optionally arranged between heating element pairs 15 and 15 ', with which a uniform advancing movement of the fibers 3 can be achieved.
- the rollers 11, 12 and the heating elements 15 and 15 ' are rigidly fixed. This is also the case with all rolls of the example according to FIG.
- FIG. 3 also shows sectional views through heating elements 15 or 15 'from which it becomes clear how the electrical contacting of the fibers 3 takes place and how the thermal insulation can be formed.
- the possibility of carbonization by means of microwaves generated plasma are already and more specifically described in DE 10 2015 205 809 AI.
- the starting material was positioned in a linear microwave plasma chamber, tensioned and treated accordingly.
