DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a heat treatment furnace suitable for producing high-performance carbon fibers at high speed productivity, and particularly to a flame-retardant heat treatment furnace.

Carbon fibers, especially carbon fibers made from acrylonitrile synthetic fibers, have extremely high tensile strength of 500 kg/mm 2 or more and elongation of 2% or more, making them suitable for aerospace and aerospace applications. Development of applications as a material is progressing.

To produce carbon fiber using acrylonitrile synthetic fiber as a starting material, first the fiber is
It is necessary to carry out flameproofing treatment in an oxidizing atmosphere at ℃, but since this flameproofing reaction process is an exothermic reaction, if a large amount of yarn is flameproofed at once, the flameproofing reaction will run out of control. Since the ignition phenomenon has been observed, up until now, it has been necessary to use a small-scale firing method in which the threads are spaced as much as possible, making it extremely difficult to reduce manufacturing costs. Methods have been proposed to solve this problem.

This is the method shown in Publication No. 71818, and the latter involves passing an acrylonitrile fiber bundle between a group of wide rollers arranged vertically in a heat treatment furnace.
A vertical flame-retardant treatment furnace using a so-called hot full type heat treatment furnace is shown, in which a group of rollers is moved at a constant speed from the inlet to the outlet of the heat treatment furnace, and hot air is blown out from the ceiling of the furnace and sucked in at the floor. ing.

According to these methods, it is possible to continuously flame-retardize a large amount of acrylonitrile fiber bundles, but the biggest drawback of these vertical furnaces is that local updrafts occur within the furnace, making it difficult to maintain uniformity. However, it is not possible to use a heat treatment furnace with a uniform temperature distribution, and the flame-retardant yarn obtained by this method and partially subjected to non-uniform heat treatment has a tensile strength of 500 kg even if the carbonization treatment method is devised. The present situation is that it is extremely difficult to efficiently produce high-strength carbon fibers with an elastic modulus of 27 to 33 t/mm 2 and a tensile strength of 500 Kg/mm 2 or higher.

On the other hand, in the horizontal heat treatment furnace as shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 52-21604, even if heat treatment is performed by changing the direction of the hot air to the vertical or horizontal direction, the convection phenomenon inside the furnace cannot be minimized. figure,
Uniform heat treatment cannot be performed. Furthermore, this horizontal furnace has the disadvantage that it is extremely difficult to supply hot air when attempting to sinter a large number of acrylonitrile synthetic fibers arranged in a sheet-like manner.

By making the hot air outlets 1a, 1b, 1c... and the intake ports 2a, 2b, 2c... into the structure of the present invention, the flow of hot air in the furnace can be easily made to flow substantially parallel to the yarn running direction. Even if a large number of yarns lined up in a sheet form are flame-retardantly treated, severe friction between the yarns can be prevented, so the phenomenon of thread fuzzing and yarn breakage due to friction in this process should hardly occur. Can be done. Also,
By installing a partition plate in the heat treatment chamber, the heat convection in the atmosphere of the heat treatment chamber partitioned by the partition plate can be significantly lowered compared to conventionally developed furnaces, so there is no biased flow. Not only can a uniform flow be achieved, but also the non-uniformity of temperature in the vertical direction within the furnace can be reduced.

Generally, the pressure difference between the pressure inside the heat treatment chamber and the pressure outside the furnace changes in the height direction of the furnace due to the difference in buoyancy between the outside and outside of the heat treatment chamber caused by the difference in gas temperature. Therefore, hot air tends to escape from the upper slit of the heat treatment chamber to the outside of the furnace, and external gas tends to flow into the heat treatment chamber from the lower slit. However, the heat treatment furnace of the present invention is equipped with the seal chambers 4 and 5 as described above. As a result, the pressure inside the sealing chamber can be made lower than the pressure inside the heat treatment chamber, making it possible to minimize temperature changes in the heat treatment chamber due to external gas flowing into the heat treatment chamber due to pressure fluctuations within the heat treatment chamber. .

Furthermore, since the sealing chamber is also provided with a partition plate, each sealing chamber is equipped with an independent exhaust mechanism or pressure adjustment mechanism, so that the pressure difference between the heat treatment chamber and the sealing chamber at each slit position can be individually controlled. It was possible to suppress the inflow of outside air into the heat treatment chamber and the excessive outflow of hot air due to the difference in buoyancy between the outside and outside of the heat treatment chamber, and succeeded in creating a heat treatment furnace with unprecedented temperature uniformity.

Since the heat treatment furnace of the present invention has the above-described structure, it has excellent temperature controllability when heating the heat treatment chamber to a predetermined temperature, and the wind direction is kept parallel to the running direction of the yarn. It can prevent excessive force from being applied to the running yarn, and even when yarn knitted into a sheet is heat-treated, it can prevent fuzz and yarn breakage due to abnormal friction between the yarns. In particular, when used as a flameproofing furnace employed in the carbon fiber manufacturing process, it can exhibit high performance.
