Definitions

  • This invention in general, relates to improvements in spinning nozzles for the spinning of hollow filaments from spinnable polymers and further relates to spinning plates and parts thereof for use in spinning nozzles for spinning hollow filaments.
  • This application is a continuation-inpart of our copending application Serial No. 779,977, filed December 12, 1958, now abandoned.
  • the manufacture of spinning nozzles useful for pro duction of hollow filaments, especially filaments used by the melt-spinning process, is unusually difiicult because the spinning openings must be bored with extreme precicision and the tolerances are very small in the center of the tubular passage through which the gaseous agent is conducted.
  • the diameter of the spinning orifices is in the order of 700g.
  • the outer diameter of the tubular passage for the fluid introduced into the center of the filament is in the order of 250 leaving a width across the annular opening formed between the spinning orifice and the tubular member in the order of 225 It will be apparent that even a slight inaccuracy in the centering of the tubular member in the spinning orifice will result in filaments having a mantle of uneven thickness.
  • our invention relates to spinning nozzles for spinning plates used therein which have proven extremely successful in actual practice.
  • T he spinning plate used in our invention is composed of three individual plates mounted on top of each other in face-to-face relationshipbeing held together by means of screws or the like.
  • the lower plate has a large number of spinning openings arranged in any suitable pattern.
  • the middle plate has a central opening through which is fed the spinning mass into a recess in the face of the middle plate opposite the lower plate.
  • This recess serves as a manifold chamber for distributing the spinning mass from the central opening outwardly to the spinning orifices in the lower plate.
  • annular, ring-shaped recess In the upper face of the middle plate or the lower face of the upper plate, or both, there is provided an annular, ring-shaped recess.
  • a plurality of bores, corresponding to and aligned with the spinning openings in the lower plate, extend through the middle plate between the manifold chamber and the annular recess.
  • the hollow inserts Securely posi-' tioned within these bores are hollow inserts which extend downwardly into the spinning openings in the lower plate and terminate in a capillary tube positioned centrally in each spinning orifice.
  • the hollow tubular inserts have a passage communicating with the recess in the upper face of the middle plate.
  • the upper plate consists essentially of a solid plate having a central opening communicating with the opening of the middle plate and may have the annular recess in the lower face, as above-described.
  • Sealing rings are inserted between the individual plates at strategic locations to provide fluid-tight seals between the plates.
  • washers or packings of greater thickness By selecting a washer or packing between the lower and middle plate of the desired thickness, the degree of protrusion of the capillary tube from the spinning orifice can be adjusted to the desired position.
  • One of the special advantages of the invention lies in the fact that the individual parts may be machined separately and thereafter assembled.
  • Each of the plates can be macm'ned individually by relatively simple machining techniques and therefiter assembled with the hollow tubular inserts being mounted in the middle plate before assembly of the plates.
  • Another advantage is that the assembled spinning plate of this invention can be dis assembled very simply for cleaning or replacement of parts.
  • the spinning plate can be repaired by simply changing one of the hollow tubular inserts.
  • FIG. 1 is a diametiic cross-sectional view of an assembled spinning plate with the hollow tubular inserts positioned therein on the left hand side of the crosssectional view and with the hollow tubular inserts being omitted on the right hand section to show the detail of the bores and spinning orifices in the middle and lower plates;

  • the lower face of the middle plate 2 has a cylindricallyshaped recess 15 of substantially the same diameter as the diameter of the outer wall of the ring-shaped recess 10. This recess serves as a distributing manifold for the spinning mass as will be described hereinafter.
  • the middle plate 2 also has several guide pins 16 frictional-1y held in apertures 17 provided in the plate 2.
  • the guide pins 16 are adapted to extend through aligned pass-ages 18 in the lower plate 3 and preferably extend outwardly beyond the lower face of the plate 3 by a distance at least equal to the protrusions of the capillary tubes hereinafter described.
  • the function of the pins 16 is that of guiding the assembly of the plate 2 with plate 3 so that the parts are properly aligned as [the two plates are assembled.
  • the lower plate 3 has a plurality of spinning openings 19 which are positioned therein in radially-aligned groups corresponding with the bores 12. in plate 2.
  • Each of the spinning openings 19 is composed of a cylindrical portion 19a, a tapered portion 19b and the spinning orifice itself, 19c of the desired diameter.

  • the passage 32 widens at 33 into a cylindrical recess 34, which is internally threaded.
  • the threads of the passage 34 threadably engage the threaded shank 35 of a removable screw 36.
  • the screw 36 has a tapered lower surface 37 of a taper identical with the taper of the countersunk portion 13 of .the bore 12.
  • the screw 36 also has an axial passage 38 extending therethrough and communicating the passage 32 with the exterior of the screw 36.

  • the embodiment of FIG. 6 illustrates the use of guide v anes or wings 43 whichhave sloping bottom Walls 44 and rounded side walls 45. The distance between opposite side walls is slightly less the diameter of the portion 1% of the spinning openings 19 so that these vanes act to guide and center the hollow tubular insert and its capillary tube 42 in the spinning opening when the plates 2 and 3 are assembled.
  • the spinning plates of this invention are assembled by first inserting the hollow tubular inserts 27, with the screws 36 removed, in the bores 12 ⁇ of the plate 2.

If desired or necessary, packing material may be inserted between the shoulder 30 and the countersunk portion 14 and between the tapered lower surface 37 of the screw 36 and the countersunk portion 13 to provide fluidatight seals. After each of the hollow tubular inserts 27 has been properly mounted in plate 2, the latter is assembled with the plate 3. Guide pins 16 are employed to align the parts properly to avoid accidental damage or breakage to the delicate capillary tubes 42 when the parts are being assembled.
  • the capillary tubes 42 may either extend outwardly trom the outer edge of the spinning orifices 19, they may be even therewith, or they may be actually recessed from the outer edge of the spinning orifices 19.
  • One way of regulating this positioning of the capillary tubes 42 with respect to the spinning orifices 19 is by varying the thicknesses of the gaskets 25, 26 in the manner previously described. Alter the plates 2 and 3 are assembled, the screws 20 are inserted and tightened.
  • the upper plate 1 may be mounted on the middle plate 2 after which screws 5 and 7 are tightened thus giving the assembled spinning plate.
