在本公开的示例性实施例中,应当理解的是,为了便于对脱泡装置的各个部件的相对位置关系进行更好的描述,在此限定第一方向以及第二方向。具体而言,该第一方向是与图1中的脱泡腔体1的竖直的壁部平行的方向,即不论脱泡装置(具体地,脱泡腔体1)的摆放位置如何,第一方向始终与所述壁部平行。第二方向是与第一方向垂直的方向。
在本公开的示例性实施例中,在将待脱泡液体经由进料口9 送入到脱泡腔体1中之后,将脱泡腔体1封闭,然后通过加热单元2加热脱泡腔体1,进而加热脱泡腔体1内的液体,在完成对液体的脱泡之后,从排料口10排出液体。
在本公开的示例性实施例中,脱泡腔体1具有倒锥形基部,具体而言,如图1所示,该倒锥形基部是沿第一方向(在图1的情况下,其为竖直方向)从下到上第二方向上的横截面面积逐渐增大的脱泡腔体1的下部。进料口9和排料口10设置在该倒锥形基部上,其中,排料口10位于倒锥形基部的最低点,进料口9位于比排料口10高的位置。如此设置的排料口10可以确保充分排出已被脱泡的液体。与从脱泡腔体1上部引入待脱泡液体时会将额外的气泡引入到待脱泡液体中的情况相比,如此设置的进料口9可以在待脱泡液体刚开始进入脱泡腔体1时使待脱泡液体沿倒锥形基部的壁部流动而不将额外的气泡引入到待脱泡液体中,随着待脱泡液体在脱泡腔体1中的累积,进料口9变为位于待脱泡液体的液面之下,在这种情况下,继续从进料口9送入待脱泡液体同样不会将额外的气泡引入到待脱泡液体中。
另外,液体的粘度与温度存在一定的相关性,随着温度的升高,液体的粘度会降低(例如,图4中示出的某量产聚酰亚胺材料的粘度与温度之间的关系)。此外,液体中的气泡的上升速度与液体的粘度成反比,也就是说,液体的粘度越低,气泡上升速度越快。因此,在本示例性实施例中,通过在对待脱泡液体脱泡时加热待脱泡液体以降低待脱泡液体的粘度,有利于气泡的溢出,进而加快液体的脱泡速度。
在本公开的示例性实施例中,加热单元2的设置位置及具体形式不做具体限制,其只要能够实现对脱泡腔体1加热即可。
图2是示出了根据本公开的示例性实施例的脱泡装置中的一种加热丝设置方式的示意图。如图2所示,作为本示例性实施例的一种方式,加热单元2包括一根加热丝21,加热丝21构造为对脱泡腔体1进行整体加热。
也就是说,如图2所示,加热单元2可仅设有一根加热丝21, 该加热丝21围绕脱泡腔体1设置(例如埋设在脱泡腔体1的侧壁中),且从脱泡腔体1的基部盘旋上升而延伸到脱泡腔体1的各个位置处。这样,该加热丝21进行加热时,可对脱泡腔体1的各个位置统一进行加热(即整体加热),这种设置方式简化了结构并便于控制。
图3是示出了根据本公开的示例性实施例的脱泡装置中的另一种加热丝设置方式的示意图。如图3所示,作为本示例性实施例的另一种方式,加热单元2可以包括多根加热丝21,并且脱泡腔体1包括沿第一方向分布的多个子区域,每个子区域和每根加热丝一一对应,每根加热丝21构造为对与所述加热丝对应的脱泡腔体1的子区域进行加热。
也就是说,如图3所示,加热单元2包括多根加热丝21,且每根加热丝21缠绕在脱泡腔体1的一部分区域(如沿第一方向的不同位置的区域)上,从而每根加热丝21进行加热时分别对与其对应的脱泡腔体1的部分区域进行加热。显然,不同加热丝21可分别独立地工作,即各加热丝21是否加热以及加热温度是多少是互不相关的,由此加热单元2可根据需要分别用不同加热丝21对脱泡腔体1的不同位置进行不同程度的加热(即分区加热),以更好的满足脱泡的要求,例如,若待脱泡液体仅占据脱泡腔体1的一半,则可仅让与脱泡腔体1下半部对应的加热丝21进行加热,而其它加热丝21不工作。
可以理解的是,加热丝21可以以诸如螺旋环绕方式、“S”型布置方式、水平布置方式等方式覆盖脱泡腔体1的整体或者部分区域,加热丝21的排布密度可以根据实际情况酌情设置,在此不做具体限定。
在本公开的示例性实施例中,脱泡装置还包括温度检测单元3和控制器11。温度检测单元3构造为检测脱泡腔体1内的温度,并将温度反馈给控制器11。控制器11与温度检测单元3连接,并根据温度检测单元3检测到的温度控制加热单元2。
利用温度检测单元3实时检测脱泡腔体1内的温度,即脱泡 腔体1内的待脱泡液体的脱泡温度,并反馈给控制器11,控制器11根据反馈的脱泡温度控制加热单元2,从而能够精准控制脱泡温度,以使待脱泡液体在最佳脱泡温度下脱泡,进而提高脱泡装置的脱泡效率。
需要说明的是,除了根据温度检测单元3检测到的温度之外,控制器11还可以结合待脱泡液体的材料性质以及粘度等因素控制加热单元2。
在本公开的示例性实施例中,温度检测单元3包括多个温度传感器31,温度传感器例如可以是铠装式热电偶、固定法兰式温度传感器、螺纹固定温度传感器等,多个温度传感器31构造为检测脱泡腔体1中的不同位置的温度。
具体而言,温度检测单元3可以包括多个温度传感器31,通过在脱泡腔体1的不同位置(例如,不同高度的位置)分别设置温度传感器31,可以使温度测量更精准,从而进一步提高脱泡装置的脱泡效率。
当然,温度传感器31的设置数量及位置可以根据实际需求来设置,例如,多个温度传感器31可如图1所示那样沿第一方向设于一个竖杆的不同位置。作为选择,温度传感器31也可设于脱泡腔体1的内壁上。另外,如果温度传感器31为红外温度传感器等,则其也可设于脱泡腔体1外部(当然,脱泡腔体1上需要设置供红外线通过的窗口)。当然,温度检测单元3也可以为可用于测量温度的其它设备。
在本公开的示例性实施例中,加热单元2包括沿第一方向依次布置的多根沿第二方向延伸的加热丝21,并且脱泡腔体1包括沿第一方向分布的多个子区域,每根加热丝21构造为对脱泡腔体1的一个子区域进行加热,多个温度传感器31中的与该一个子区域对应的温度传感器检测该一个子区域的温度,从而经由控制器11对该一个子区域的温度进行精确控制。
在本公开的示例性实施例中,脱泡装置还包括设于脱泡腔体1的外表面上的保温层4。
保温层4(例如橡塑保温层、聚氨酯保温层)设置于脱泡腔体1的外表面上,以用于在脱泡时隔断或者减少脱泡装置(包括脱泡腔体1与加热单元2)与外界的热量传递,从而减少热量损失,节约能量。
在本公开的示例性实施例中,脱泡装置还包括构造为监测脱泡腔体1中的液体的脱泡状态的脱泡监测单元。
通过脱泡监测单元可以实时获取脱泡腔体1内的液体的脱泡状态(液体中的气泡含量),以便于据此调整脱泡装置的脱泡温度或者脱泡时间,从而避免不必要的资源浪费。
在本公开的示例性实施例中,脱泡监测单元包括构造为采集脱泡腔体1内的液体的图像的图像采集单元5。
根据图像采集单元5所采集的图像可以直观地判断出液体的脱泡状态,例如当脱泡完成时,可以从所采集的图像中看到液体中无气泡。
在本公开的示例性实施例中,该图像采集单元5可以为摄像机,其实时对脱泡腔体1内的液体的状态进行摄像或者拍照。进一步地,该摄像机还设有照明装置(例如LED灯),以使所采集的图像更清晰。当然,本示例性实施例中的图像采集单元5的具体设置形式并不限于设在脱泡腔体1内,例如,图像采集单元5也可设在脱泡腔体1外,通过脱泡腔体1的壁部上的透明窗体采集脱泡腔体1内部的图像;或者,图像采集单元5也可设于脱泡腔体1基部来采集液体内部的图像。
在本公开的示例性实施例中,脱泡监测单元包括构造为检测脱泡腔体1中的气体含量的气氛分析仪6。
显然,从液体中脱出的气泡中的气体会进入到脱泡腔体1的上部中,故在脱泡过程中,脱泡腔体1中的气体含量也会随液体中的气泡含量的变化而发生变化。例如,在不抽真空的状态下,脱泡腔体1中的气体含量会随着气泡的脱出而增加,而在气泡脱完后,气体含量会保持稳定;再如,在抽真空进行脱泡时,则随着气泡的不断脱出,脱泡腔体1中会稳定地含有微量的气体(因 为这些气体不可能被瞬间抽出),而在脱泡完成后,脱泡腔体1中的气体含量会稳定在一个更低的值。因此,本示例性实施例通过气氛分析仪6对脱泡腔体1内部的气体含量(可以为气体中某一成分气体的含量)进行分析检测,从而判断脱泡是否完成。
在本公开的示例性实施例中,气氛分析仪6为氧气分析仪。
气泡通常是在大气环境下由于运输震动等原因造成的,故气泡中的气体成份与大气成分相同,即主要含有氧气、氮气等。在本示例性实施例中,采用氧气分析仪作为气氛分析仪6对脱泡腔体1内的氧气含量进行分析,从而判断脱泡是否完成。
当然,气氛分析仪6的具体设置方式也是多样的,其可如图1所示那样设于脱泡腔体1外但与脱泡腔体1内部联通;或者,气氛分析仪6也可直接设于脱泡腔体1内部。
在本公开的示例性实施例中,进料口9和排料口10均设置有气泡统计单元12。在经由进料口9将待脱泡液体引入到脱泡腔体1中时,进料口9处的气泡统计单元12检测并统计流过进料口9的待脱泡液体中的气泡的数量。在经由排料口10将已脱泡液体排出到脱泡腔体1外部时,排料口10处的气泡统计单元12检测并统计流过排料口10的已脱泡液体中的气泡的数量。通过比较脱泡前后的液体中的气泡的数量,可以判断出气泡的脱泡率,从而判断脱泡是否完成。
在本公开的示例性实施例中,脱泡装置还包括:搅拌单元,其设于脱泡腔室1内并且构造为搅动待脱泡液体;以及真空单元8,其构造为抽出脱泡腔体1内的气体。
在本示例性实施例的脱泡装置中设置搅拌单元,可以在脱泡时搅动待脱泡液体,以便于气泡的浮出。具体而言,搅拌单元包括搅拌器71和马达72,通过马达72带动搅拌器71转动,从而搅动待脱泡液体。
当然,搅拌单元的设置方式也是多样的,例如,搅拌器71可如图1所示那样从脱泡腔体1上方伸入;或者,搅拌器71也可从脱泡腔体1下方直接插入液体中(当然,马达72也要相应地设在 脱泡腔体1下方)。
在本公开的示例性实施例中,脱泡装置中还可以设有真空单元8(例如真空泵或者与真空泵相连的开口),真空单元8构造为抽出脱泡腔体1内的气体以使脱泡腔体1内保持低气压(近似真空),从而促进液体中的气泡的浮出。
在本公开的示例性实施例中,真空单元8可以与气氛分析仪6配合使用。如上所述,可以在真空单元8对脱泡腔体1抽真空后,通过气氛分析仪6对脱泡腔体1内部的气体含量(可以为气体中某一成分气体的含量)进行分析检测,从而判断脱泡是否完成。
本示例性实施例的脱泡装置包括能封闭的脱泡腔体1和加热单元2,在脱泡过程中,通过加热单元2对脱泡腔体1进行加热,进而加热脱泡腔体1内所盛放的待脱泡液体,从而使待脱泡液体的粘度随着温度的升高而降低,以便于气泡的溢出,进而加快脱泡速度。利用本示例性实施例提供的脱泡装置可以实现在对液体脱泡时,尤其是在对高粘度液体脱泡时,缩短液体的脱泡时间,提高脱泡效率。
可以理解的是,以上实施方式仅仅是为了说明本公开的原理而采用的示例性实施方式,然而本公开并不局限于此。对于本领域内的普通技术人员而言,在不脱离本公开的精神和实质的情况下,可以做出各种变型和改进,这些变型和改进也视为本公开的保护范围。
