And taking out the mold from the drying box, spraying the mold release agent on the compact mold release agent film layer again, and forming a second mold release agent film layer by utilizing the waste heat of the mold.

And (3): and standing for 5min after the mold is filled, removing a small amount of bubbles generated by casting after heating, then putting the mold into a drying oven at 140 ℃ for curing for 2h, curing for 10h at 160 ℃, naturally cooling to room temperature after completion, demolding and sampling.
In the test, two release agents, i.e., a silicon release agent and a fluorine release agent, were used, and four kinds of sample pieces were prepared in total in accordance with the respective spraying amounts (spraying amount 0.01 mL/cm)2) Sample 1 of a fluorine-based mold release agent (spray amount: 0.005 mL/cm)2) Fluorine-based mold release agent sample 2 (spray amount 0.01 mL/cm)2) And fluorine-based mold release agent sample 3 (spray amount of 0.015 mL/cm)2) And are labeled in the following description and test drawings.
The main component of the fluorine-containing release agent is ultra-small molecular weight polytetrafluoroethylene, the molecular weight is 500-5000, and the fluorine-containing release agent accounts for 20-40% of the total mass of the release agent, and the fluorine-containing release agent and the volatile dissolving auxiliary agent are mixed to prepare a finished product reagent.
As shown in FIG. 2, by the above-described operation, an epoxy composite sample sheet with an impregnation layer using a silicon-based release agent was obtained, and the effect of the impregnation layer is partially illustrated in FIG. 3.
As shown in fig. 2, it was found that the silicon-based mold release composite did not show much difference in morphology between the infiltrated layer and the components in the matrix. FIG. 3 is a graph of Si content distribution with depth of penetration. It was found that the Si content in the surface layer was about 2.96% by mass and the Si content in the depth of 200 μm was reduced to about 0.71%. Fig. 4 to 5 show the test results of the fluorine-containing mold release agent sample 2, and it can be found that the fluorine mass ratio of the composite material surface layer reaches 5.45% under the same preparation flow and is reduced to nearly zero value at 200 μm after the fluorine-containing mold release agent is adopted. In conclusion, after the fluorine-containing release agent is used for replacing a silicon-containing release agent, the residual amount of the characteristic groups of the fluorine-containing release agent is improved, and meanwhile, the depth of a permeable layer is close to 200 mu m and is slightly changed.
As shown in fig. 6, a schematic diagram of a monitoring and charging device used for surface charge testing is shown, in the testing process, a sample wafer is firstly clamped between two probe electrodes with a distance of 10mm, a length of 10mm and a tip curvature radius of 5 μm, 10kV direct-current positive polarity voltage is applied to one side electrode, the other side electrode is grounded, a very uneven tangential electric field is formed, and then the surface of the sample is charged, so as to simulate charge accumulation of a material under a severe working condition.
Charging lasts for 1min, then moving the sample to a position 2mm below the Kelvin probe through a sliding rail, measuring the potential of a charged area on the upper surface of the sample at a block speed through a stepping two-dimensional guide rail where the Kelvin probe is located, wherein the measured area is a square with the size of 20mm multiplied by 20mm, after scanning, taking a point on a gap 1.5mm away from the side of the high-voltage electrode to monitor the potential, and the subsequent monitoring time is 2000 s.
As shown in fig. 7, the surface charge accumulation two-dimensional test results for the four samples are shown schematically. Fig. 7(a), 7(b), 7(c), and 7(d) show the results of the two-dimensional surface charge accumulation test after charging for 1min for the silicon release agent sample, the fluorine release agent sample 1, the fluorine release agent sample 2, and the fluorine release agent sample 3, respectively. It was found that when the silicon-based release agent was replaced with the fluorine-containing release agent, the charge potential on the upper surface of the sample piece increased, and the amount of the release agent increased from 5100V to 5600V, which was 9.8%. Meanwhile, when a silicon-based release agent was used, the potential distribution on the material surface was concentrated, and when the release agent was replaced with a fluorine-containing release agent, the area of the high potential region on the surface was increased, and the material tended to diffuse in the direction perpendicular to the gap direction (Y direction). This shows that with the fluorine-containing release agent, the response capability of the material to surface charges is enhanced, the dissipation area of the surface charges in a limited time is increased, and the uniformity of the overall charge distribution is increased.
As shown in FIG. 8, in order to normalize the curve of the surface potential decay during dissipation, it was found that the silicon-based mold release agent was usedAfter the fluorine-containing release agent is replaced, the surface charge dissipation rate is enhanced and can be increased to about 840 percent of the original maximum rate. Meanwhile, according to the trap distribution result calculated by the isothermal surface potential attenuation method in fig. 9, it can be found that the traps of the composite material prepared by the silicon release agent are mainly deep traps, the corresponding energy level depth is 1.084eV, and the peak height is 1427 × 1019eV-1·m3After the fluorine-containing release agent is adopted, the deep trap energy level and the intensity peak height of each sample are reduced, obvious shallow traps appear in the range of 0.95eV to 0.98eV, and the maximum shallow trap peak value can reach 441.7 multiplied by 1019eV-1·m3。
The shallow depth of the trap and the appearance of the shallow trap show that the fluorine-containing release agent improves the blocking capability of the composite material surface to charge transport and enhances the response capability to charge and electric field, which corresponds to the test result in fig. 9.
As shown in fig. 10, the surface resistivity of the composite material sample is measured by a three-electrode resistivity measurement method according to the relevant provisions of GB 1014-2006. The results show that the surface resistivity of the composite material using the silicon-containing release agent is 1017Omega, the surface resistivity is reduced by 1 to 2 orders of magnitude to 2.86 multiplied by 10 at most after the fluorine-containing release agent is adopted15Ω。
As shown in fig. 11, the test results of the creeping voltage of the material in air and sulfur hexafluoride are shown. Fig. 11(a) shows the test result of the surface flashover voltage of the composite material sample in the air, and fig. 11(b) shows the test result of the surface flashover voltage of the composite material sample in the sulfur hexafluoride.
The test electrode structure refers to the pin charging gap in fig. 8. Before testing, a direct current preset voltage is applied to the sample wafer for a certain time, the prepressing amplitude is 10kV, the prepressing time is 0 minute, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes and 120 minutes respectively, and after the prepressing is finished, the sample is subjected to flashover testing. During testing, the voltage is increased from 0, the average speed is controlled to be 0.1kV/s to 0.2kV/s, each sample wafer is tested for 10 times, an oscilloscope is used for connecting a voltage probe in series to measure the high-voltage terminal potential, and the average value and the standard deviation of the flashover voltage are taken for drawing and analyzing.
The result shows that the fluorine-containing release agent has a considerable modification effect when no prepressing exists in the flashover test in the air, the flashover voltage of the fluorine-containing release agent is increased to 16.2kV from 13.2kV of a silicon system to 22.7 percent, after prepressing, the flashover voltage of a silicon system sample piece is gradually reduced along with the prepressing time, is reduced to 12.3kV when the prepressing is carried out for 90min, and flashover occurs in the prepressing to 120 min. After the fluorine-containing release agent is adopted, the tendency of reduction of the flashover voltage of the material along with time is relieved, and for the sample 3, the flashover voltage is reduced to 16.1kV from 16.3kV only by pre-pressing for 120min, and is close to 1%. For SF6The same applies to the flashover voltage of the sample being SF6The effect of the insulation properties is multiplied, where the weakest point of the insulation along the surface is transferred to the solid phase of the composite material, under which the effect of the surface properties on flashover is amplified. It can be found that the flashover voltage of the silicon-based release agent is very large in normal price range along with the prepressing time, and the flashover voltage of the whole material shows a nearly constant trend along with the time after the fluorine-containing release agent is adopted.
In summary, the composite insulating material prepared by the epoxy insulating composite material preparation method for improving the static electricity dissipation characteristic is provided by the embodiment of the invention. The method is mainly focused on improving the mold release process, thereby affecting the surface composition, static dissipation characteristics and surface insulation properties of the cured product. Firstly, an air pump spray gun loaded with fluorine-containing release agent is adopted to uniformly spray the inner wall of a stainless steel mould, then the mould is placed in a drying box and heated at the temperature of 140-150 ℃ for 30min to form a film, then the mould in a high-temperature state is taken out, a release agent layer is sprayed on the formed compact film layer for the first time, and a secondary film layer is formed by means of the residual temperature of the mould. Meanwhile, according to the base material formula of the basin-type insulator for GIL, a bisphenol A epoxy resin monomer, a methyl tetrahydrophthalic anhydride curing agent, an accelerant and spherical 50-mesh modified micron Al2O3 are mixed according to the weight ratio of 100:85:0.5:330, shearing, stirring, vacuum degassing, pouring into a mold, and curing at a temperature gradient of 140 ℃/2h +160 ℃/10h in a vacuum environment. Test results prove that by adopting the pretreatment procedure of spraying the fluorine-containing release agent for the second time, a fluorine-containing permeable layer can be effectively formed on the surface of the composite material, and correspondingly, the charge dissipation capacity, the surface conductivity and the surface flashover voltage of the material in the environment of air and sulfur hexafluoride are improved. The method starts from a mold release process in the actual production of the insulator, is simple to implement and convenient to operate, and has strong industrial applicability.
