METHOD FOR PRODUCING TERYLENE FIBER USING POLYESTER WASTE
A method for producing terylene fiber using polyester waste is disclosed. Firstly, dried polyester waste is sent into a screw extruder, then is melt and extruded to be polyester melt. Whereafter, the melt is filtrated twice to remove impurities. Then macromolecule polymerization reaction is taken place in the polyester melt to homogenize the molecular weight of macromoleclar polymer and to increase the viscosity of the polyester. Then the melt with increased viscosity is finely filtrated using melt precision filter. Whereafter, the melt is sent into a spinning box to execute metering spinning, then is cooled and solidified to be filaments. Finally, the filaments are wound according to various process requirements. The method can increase the quality of regenerated polyester spinning melt. The regenerated polyester melt has less impurities and homogenous viscosity after multiple filtrating. The fiber product has advantages of less end breakage rate, high full-bobbin rate, high finished product rate and less wastage.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a method for producing foam from bottles with polyester waste, and more particularly to a method for producing terylene fiber using polyester waste.
2. Description of Related Art
A conventional nozzle for producing foam comprises a press cover, a revolving cover and a cylinder. The revolving cover is mounted on the opening of a bottle or a container. The press cover is able to move upwardly/downwardly relative to the revolving cover. The cylinder is extended into the bottle or the container.
The cylinder has an unidirectional flow mechanism. The unidirectional flow mechanism comprises a connection tube, a needle valve, a piston, a spring, and a one-way valve . . . etc. The connecting tube has a channel for the piston to move downward when the piston is pressed. The one-way valve is placed on the bottom of the cylinder, in which the one-way valve allows the fluid to flow up from the container into the cylinder under the air pressure, and prevents the fluid to flow reversely.
When the cylinder is full of fluid and a user presses the press cover, the channel of the connecting tube is communicated with the cylinder. Thus, the fluid flows out of the press cover via connecting tube when the press cover is pressed by the user. In contrast, when the user releases the press cover, the connecting tube moves upward by the spring's recovering force. Simultaneously, the volume of the cylinder is expanded by the air, in which the air pushes the fluid back into the bottle or container for recycling.
The publication CN2632010Y further discloses a nozzle for producing foam. The nozzle has a chamber to mix the liquid and the air together, and at least one filter is used to adjust the dimension of the foam, so that the foam is not too dense or too dilute. Unfortunately, there are two shortcomings in the publication CN2632010Y:
First of all, the metallic spring is often submerged in the liquid and it makes the spring get broken easily;
Secondly, between each connecting element has an unfilled space, in which the air can flow into or out. Thus, the unfilled space makes the airtight condition get worse.
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the disadvantages of the conventional.

The needle valve 9 is upwardly passing through the second inner tube 81 of the second piston 8 and entering into the second channel 61 of the connecting tube 6. The top of the needle valve 9 is received in the necking portion 611 and positioned by the necking portion 611. A plurality of protrusions 911 is axially formed on the periphery of the rod 91. A plurality of unfilled space is defined between each of two neighbor protrusions 911. A fluid channel formed between the needle valve 9 and the second inner tube 81 of the second piston 8 for the melting substances or liquid to flow into. One end of the spring 10 is fixed in the annular recess 722 of the sealing member 7. Another end of the spring 10 is received into the spring room 1421 of the cylinder 14. The spring room 1421, the lower chamber 142 and the upper chamber 141 are separated by the second piston 8, so that the melting substances or liquid in the lower chamber 142 cannot flow to the spring 10.
The unidirectional valve 13 is placed in the lower chamber 142 of the cylinder 14 and near the entrance 1422.
To use the nozzle assembled to a bottle for producing terylene fiber using polyester waste is illustrated as following:
In the beginning, the lower chamber 142 of the cylinder 14 is filled with the melting substances or liquid, such as the polyester waste; and the upper chamber 141 of the cylinder 14 is filled with the air. The vent 1411 of the upper chamber 141 is closed by the first piston 5 so that the inner side of the cylinder 14 is isolated.
Specifically, the annular groove 431 of the spinning box 4 is separated from the up-sealing groove 531 of the first piston 5 and the upper chamber 141 is divided into two parts by the first piston 5. The two parts of the upper chamber 141 are communicated with each other by the air holes 532. In contrast, the taper portion 721 of the sealing member 7 is tightly engaged with the taper recess 511 of the first piston 5. Thus, the air in the upper chamber 141 cannot flow into the spinning box 4. Furthermore, the sealing section 93 of the needle valve 9 is tightly engaged with the tapered section 811 of the second piston 8. Thus, the melting substances or the liquid in the lower chamber 142 cannot flow into the second channel 61 of the connecting tube 6.
Referring to
When one part above the first piston 5 is expanded in the upper chamber 141, the first piston 5 leaves from the vent 1411, so that the air flows into the upper chamber 141. In addition, the up-sealing groove 531 of the first piston 5 is sealed by the annular groove 431 of the spinning box 4. Thus, the air form the vent 1411 cannot flow into another part below the first piston 5. The original air below the first piston 5 is pushed into the spinning box 4 to mix with the melting substances or liquid when the press cover 1 is gradually pressed down.
Referring to
After the user sprays enough foam, the user releases the press cover 1. The sealing member 7 and the spinning box 4 are moved up by the recovering force form the spring 10. The taper portion 721 of the sealing member 7 is engaged with the taper recess 511 of the first piston 5 again, and the annular groove 431 of the spinning box 4 is separated from the up-sealing groove 531 of the first piston 5 again. The air holes 532 are opened again and the air is flowing into another part which is below the first piston 5 via the air holes 532. Thus, the first piston 5 moves back to the original position. In addition, the sealing member 7 pushes the enlarging portion 62 of the connecting tube 6 to make the connecting tube 6 and the needle valve 9 moving up. The sealing section 93 of the needle valve 9 is engaged with the tapered section 811 of the second piston 8 again. The disk 92 of the needle valve 9 moves the second piston 8 back to the original position.
Furthermore, the annular groove 431 of the spinning box 4 is separated from the up-sealing groove 531 of the first piston 5 to make the air flow downward via the air holes 532. Consequently, the space of the part which is above the first piston 5 is decreasing and the space of another part which is below the first piston 5 is increasing. Finally, the first piston 5 moves back to close the vent 1411. The user can press the nozzle again to spray the foam.
Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
