Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The rubber compound suitable for the laminated spring is prepared by mixing natural rubber and low cis-polybutadiene rubber and reasonably optimizing and matching the reinforcing agent and the flame retardant, and the prepared laminated spring meets the requirement of combustion performance on the premise of meeting various mechanical properties by utilizing the rubber compound, namely the combustion performance meets the requirement of EN 45545-2R 9 HL2, and the mechanical properties also meet the requirements of the standards of TB/T2841-. The technical problem that in the prior art, the rubber material of the laminated spring cannot meet the requirements of combustion performance and mechanical performance at the same time is solved, so that the rubber material in the prior art cannot be used for rubber elastic elements such as laminated springs of railway vehicles.
Specifically, the coating comprises the following components in parts by mass:
60-80 parts of natural rubber, 20-40 parts of low cis-polybutadiene rubber, 30-45 parts of reinforcing agent, 5-12 parts of active agent, 2-8 parts of anti-aging agent, 1-3 parts of modifier, 3-10 parts of flame retardant, 3-15 parts of plasticizer, 1-3 parts of vulcanizing agent and 2-5 parts of accelerator; wherein the total of the natural rubber and the low cis-polybutadiene rubber is 100 parts.
In a preferred embodiment, the natural rubber is 70 parts and the low cis polybutadiene rubber is 30 parts.
Further, the natural rubber can be selected from constant-viscosity rubber or smoked sheet rubber, wherein the natural rubber is preferably constant-viscosity rubber CV 60; the cis-1, 4-butadiene content of the low cis-polybutadiene rubber is 30-40%, and the vinyl content is 8-10%.
In a preferred embodiment, the low cis polybutadiene rubber is further preferably 35% cis 1, 4-butadiene and 10% vinyl.
Furthermore, the end group of the low cis-polybutadiene rubber is functionally modified, and the end group of the low cis-polybutadiene rubber can improve the dispersibility of the carbon black and the interface bonding capability between the rubber and the carbon black after the functional modification. Specifically, the low cis-polybutadiene rubber has better rebound resilience, low temperature performance, heat resistance and aging resistance, and is good in compatibility with natural rubber. The low cis-polybutadiene rubber is used together to replace partial natural rubber, and can achieve good blending modification effect on the natural rubber. The low cis-polybutadiene rubber has high thermal decomposition temperature and better heat resistance than natural rubber. The low cis-polybutadiene rubber reduces the proportion of natural rubber in rubber materials and improves the heat resistance and the thermal decomposition temperature of the rubber materials. And the carbon layer can be changed from a dispersed state to a continuous compact state after the rubber material is combusted, the continuous compact carbon layer can play a better heat insulation protection role on the unburned polymer at the lower layer, and the combustion performance of the rubber is greatly improved.
In a preferred embodiment, the white carbon black preferably has a specific surface area of more than 110m2White carbon black in a ratio of/g.
In a preferred embodiment, the modifier is a silane coupling agent, and the dosage of the silane coupling agent is 10% of the dosage of the white carbon black.
In a preferred embodiment, the reinforcing agent includes 8 to 28 parts of carbon black and 10 to 30 parts of white carbon black. Specifically, the white carbon black has the synergistic effects of reinforcement and flame retardance, and can improve the mechanical property and the combustion property of the rubber material. In addition, besides the blending ratio of the carbon black and the white carbon black needs to be controlled, the selection of the specific surface area and the dispersion characteristic of the white carbon black is also critical, and the specific surface area needs to be controlled at 110m2More than g and has high dispersion property. To obtain good dispersing effect and mechanical properties.
In a preferred embodiment, the flame retardant is ammonium polyphosphate. The addition of a small amount of ammonium polyphosphate hardly affects the mechanical properties of the rubber material, but can play a role in stabilizing char formation and preventing a combustion layer from cracking during combustion. The char layer formed during combustion protects the underlying unburned polymer. And the ammonium polyphosphate is preferably a high molecular weight crystal form-II ammonium polyphosphate which is modified by microencapsulation surface coating.
In a preferred embodiment, the plasticizer is a mixture of cresyldiphenyl phosphate and naphthenic oil; the mass ratio of the toluene diphenyl phosphate to the naphthenic oil is 1: 1. Naphthenic oil is a common plasticizer for natural rubber, but belongs to small molecule combustible substances; the diphenyl cresyl phosphate has a certain flame-retardant effect, and rubber sizing materials can promote charring and improve the combustion performance of the rubber sizing materials when being combusted, but the diphenyl cresyl phosphate belongs to polar substances and has poor compatibility with natural rubber and low cis-polybutadiene rubber, so the dosage of the diphenyl cresyl phosphate needs to be strictly controlled. Therefore, the diphenyl cresyl phosphate and the naphthenic oil are matched for use, the expected plasticizing effect is achieved, and the combustibility is also considered, so that the rubber compound meeting the mechanical property and the combustion property simultaneously can be obtained through reasonable matching of the formulas, and the rubber compound of the laminated spring with the fireproof function can be obtained.

TABLE 2 comparative flammability data for comparative and example compounds
TABLE 3 comparative and example laminated spring product Performance comparative data
It can be seen from tables 1 and 3 that the mechanical properties, product properties and mechanical properties in the prior art of the rubber compound of the laminated spring provided by the invention can all meet the technical requirements, and it can be seen from table 1 that when the total amount of raw rubber is 100 parts, wherein the natural rubber content is 60-80 parts, and the amount of the low cis-polybutadiene rubber is 20-40 parts, the prepared rubber compound of the laminated spring meets the requirements of the mechanical properties of the rubber compound; when the dosage of the low cis-polybutadiene rubber exceeds 40 parts, the mechanical strength of the rubber material is low, and the technical requirements cannot be met.

Example 5
In this embodiment, based on example 1, the contents of carbon black and white carbon black of the reinforcing agent in the components are further analyzed, so that the ratio of carbon black to white carbon black is more reasonable, and thus a rubber compound with more excellent comprehensive properties is obtained, as shown in table 4 specifically:
table 4 shows the results of testing the properties of the rubber mixtures at different amounts of carbon black and white carbon black
In Table 4, 1# -5# is 5 different test formulas, in which only the blending ratio of carbon black and silica is changed, and other components are the same as those in example 1. As can be seen from Table 4, on the premise of keeping consistent hardness of the rubber compound, as the amount of the white carbon black is increased, the compression set of the rubber compound is increased, the stress at definite elongation is reduced, and other mechanical properties are not changed much, however, MARHE and D in the combustion performance indexesS maxThe improvement is gradual. For rubber elastic elements such as laminated springs, the smaller the compression set, the better, and thus the smaller the amount of white carbon used, the better, in the case where the combustion performance can meet the specifications. And it can be seen in table 4 that when the amount of white carbon black is 10-30 parts and the amount of carbon black is 8-28 parts, the performance of the rubber compound meets the requirements of various technical indexes.
