However, the invention is only simple composite spinning, the internal structure of the generated fiber is irregular, and the effect of axial orientation arrangement of the one-dimensional solid nano-substances in the fiber is not achieved.
Chinese patent publication No.: CN203451653U, invention No. 02/26 of published 2014, which discloses a sandwich-type electrospinning spray head, comprising a hollow spray pipe, wherein at least one hollow inner spray pipe is concentrically nested in the spray pipe, and the spun fiber structure is an insoluble non-deterministic mixed fiber yarn and cannot enable one-dimensional solid nano-materials and fibers to form a coaxial sheath-core structure.

Disclosure of Invention
In view of the above problems, the present invention aims to provide an electrostatic spinning nozzle capable of blending one-dimensional solid nanomaterials and nanofibers, and axially orienting and arranging the one-dimensional solid nanomaterials in the fibers to form a sheath-core structure.
In order to achieve the purpose, the technical solution of the invention is as follows:
an electrostatic spinning nozzle comprises a liquid inlet, an abdominal cavity and a nozzle, wherein the abdominal cavity comprises an upper end cavity and a lower end cavity, the inner wall of the upper end cavity is in a cylindrical surface shape, the inner wall of the lower end cavity is in an arc surface shape, the nozzle is positioned at the lower end of the lower end cavity, the upper end cavity and the lower end cavity are in threaded connection, the liquid inlet is positioned on the upper end surface of the upper end cavity, and the liquid inlet, the upper end cavity, the lower end cavity and the central axis of the nozzle are consistent.
The lower end cavity is a closed three-dimensional space formed by the hyperbolic curve rotating for one circle around the central axis, a plane formed by the hyperbolic curve rotating for one circle around the central axis is the inner wall surface of the lower end cavity, the eccentricity of the hyperbolic curve is 1-1.414, and the solid axis of the hyperbolic curve, namely the inner diameter of the thin neck of the lower end cavity is 0.8 times of the inner diameter of the outlet of the nozzle.
The inner diameter of the nozzle is 0.33-0.90mm, the length of the nozzle is 1.5-2.5 times of the inner diameter, the length of the lower end cavity is 2.5 times of the length of the nozzle, and the length of the upper end cavity is 0.5 times of the length of the lower end cavity.
By adopting the technical scheme, the inner wall surface of the upper end cavity adopted by the electrostatic spinning nozzle is a cylindrical surface, the inner wall surface of the lower end cavity is an arc surface, the arc surface is formed by rotating a hyperbolic curve around a central shaft, the eccentricity of the hyperbolic curve is 1-1.414, a spinning solution flows through the lower end cavity from the upper end cavity and then flows out from the nozzle, the liquid level in the lower end cavity is gradually reduced in the flow direction of the spinning solution, the reduction trend is consistent with the morphological characteristics of the lower end cavity, the eccentricity of 1-1.414 ensures that the shearing force generated in the solution flow process enables the one-dimensional solid particles in the spinning solution dispersed with the one-dimensional solid particles to be oriented and arranged in the flow direction of the spinning solution, the inner wall surface of the lower end cavity is arc surface, the shearing resistance borne by the spinning solution flowing in the lower end cavity is gradually increased along with the arc surface of the inner wall, and the hydraulic pressure of. The inner diameter of the joint of the lower end cavity and the nozzle is 0.8 times of the inner diameter of the nozzle outlet, the spinning solution flows from a small opening of the joint of the lower end cavity and the nozzle through the large caliber of the nozzle outlet to further reduce the pressure of the spinning solution at the nozzle outlet, so that the phenomenon that the spinning solution expands greatly at the nozzle outlet to damage the oriented arrangement of the one-dimensional solid particles in the flowing direction of the spinning solution when the spinning solution flows out of the nozzle outlet due to too large pressure change of the spinning solution is effectively avoided, and the limitation that the inner diameter of the nozzle is 0.33-0.90mm ensures that the electrostatic spinning head can be applied to electrostatic spinning of the spinning solution dispersed with the one-dimensional solid particles; the limitation that the nozzle length is 1.5-2.5 times the diameter is to ensure that the dope flowing into the nozzle does not increase the dope pressure inside the nozzle due to the drag effect of the nozzle channel wall on the dope, and that the change in the dope pressure at the nozzle outlet is too large to disrupt the alignment of the one-dimensional solid particles in the flow direction of the dope. The length of the upper end cavity is 0.5 times of the length of the lower end cavity, so that sufficient solution is supplied into the cavity, the length of the lower end cavity is 2.5 times of the length of the nozzle, the hydraulic pressure of the liquid flowing out of the cavity is effectively controlled, and one-dimensional solid particles in the spinning solution can be arranged in an oriented mode in the flowing direction of the spinning solution in the flowing process of the spinning solution.
The spinning solution with the one-dimensional solid nano-materials uniformly dispersed is spun by the electrostatic spinning nozzle, so that the uniform axial orientation arrangement of the one-dimensional solid nano-materials in the fiber can be realized.
The invention has the advantages of reasonable design, simple structure, integrated manufacturing, low cost and convenient detection, maintenance and cleaning.

Detailed Description
The invention is explained in further detail below with reference to the drawings.
Referring to fig. 1, an electrospinning head includes a nozzle 1, an abdominal cavity, and a liquid inlet 4. The abdominal cavity comprises an upper end cavity 3 and a lower end cavity 2, the inner wall of the upper end cavity is in a cylindrical surface shape, the inner wall of the lower end cavity 2 is in an arc surface shape, the nozzle 1 is positioned at the lower end of the lower end cavity 2, the upper end cavity 3 is in threaded connection with the lower end cavity 2, the liquid inlet 4 is positioned on the upper end surface of the upper end cavity 3, and the central axes of the liquid inlet 4, the upper end cavity 3, the lower end cavity 2 and the nozzle 1 are consistent.
The lower end cavity 2 is a closed three-dimensional space formed by one circle of hyperbolic curve rotation around a central axis, a plane formed by one circle of hyperbolic curve rotation around the central axis is the inner wall surface of the lower end cavity 2, the eccentricity of the hyperbolic curve is 1-1.414, and the solid axis of the hyperbolic curve, namely the inner diameter of a thin neck of the lower end cavity 2 is 0.8 times of the inner diameter of an outlet of the nozzle 1.
The inner diameter of the nozzle 1 is 0.33-0.90mm, the nozzle) is 1.5-2.5 times of the inner diameter, the length of the lower end cavity 2 of the upper end cavity 3 is 2.5 times of the length of the nozzle 1, and the length of the lower end cavity 2 is 0.5 times of the length of the lower end cavity 2.
In the electrostatic spinning process, polymer liquid is added into the upper end cavity 3, and in the solution flowing process, the shearing force inside the fluid in the lower end cavity 2 acts to enable the one-dimensional nano materials in the spinning solution to be extruded under pressure, and the one-dimensional nano materials in the solution are arranged in the tip direction of the lower end cavity under the shearing force. A high-voltage electric field is connected between the liquid inlet 4 and the receiving device, and charges of the same polarity can be accumulated in the polymer solution. An electric field is generated opposite to the surface tension due to the mutual repulsion of like charges and contraction of surface charges towards the opposite electrode. When the electric field is equal to the surface tension of the polymer solution, the polymer solution is balanced at the nozzle and the voltage is increased, and when the electric field is increased to overcome the surface tension of the polymer solution, the polymer solution is jetted from the nozzle 1 to form a polymer jet.
