In order to improve the hot-melt composite effect of a thermoplastic resin matrix, researchers perform expanding treatment on carbon fibers, perform expanding treatment on conventional continuous filament bundle carbon fibers in the width direction, and expand the monofilament carbon fibers in the filament bundle in the width direction in the treatment mode so that the monofilament fibers are arranged in parallel. Traditional carbon fiber widening and shaping are compounded, the widening and widening of monofilament fibers are generally completed through heating extrusion of a continuous traditional roller or matching ultrasonic oscillation under the action of axial tension, the widening treatment needs to be completed under the action of constant axial tension, and in order to guarantee the fiber widening and widening effect, specific coating treatment needs to be carried out on the surfaces of continuous fibers before processing so as to guarantee the arrangement stability of fiber widening monofilaments. When the tension is removed after the fiber is widened, the continuous monofilaments inevitably slip and shrink to cause instability of monofilament arrangement, and sometimes even the widening effect is influenced.
