Detailed Description
Exemplary embodiments that embody features and advantages of the invention are described in detail below in the specification. It is to be understood that the invention is capable of other embodiments and that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the scope of the invention and the description and drawings are to be regarded as illustrative in nature and not as restrictive.
For further explanation of the principles and construction of the present invention, reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
The invention provides a composite gas cylinder which can be used for storing and transporting liquefied petroleum gas, natural gas and other high-pressure media.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the composite gas cylinder in the present embodiment includes a plastic inner container 12, a metal head 11, a wrapping layer 13, and an outer protective layer 14. Only the structure at one end port of the composite cylinder is illustrated in fig. 1.
The metal bottle head 11 and the end part of the plastic inner container 12 are integrally formed. Specifically, the metal bottle head 11 is made of hard aluminum alloy, stainless steel or common alloy steel. When the metal bottle head 11 is made of common alloy steel, measures for preventing potential corrosion are taken at the connecting part of the metal bottle head 11 and the plastic inner container 12.
In one embodiment, the metal tip 11 includes a tip body and a disk-shaped flange protruding from the outer periphery of the tip body. The disc-shaped flange has a plurality of grooves arranged at intervals.
With continued reference to fig. 2, the plastic liner 12 includes a liner inner layer 121 and a reinforcement layer 122.
The inner liner 121 comprises a cylinder and end sockets connected to two ends of the cylinder. The cylinder body is in a cylindrical shape with two open ends and a hollow interior, the end sockets are in an oval shape, a spherical shape or a dish shape, the two ends of the cylinder body are closed by the end sockets, and the end sockets and the metal bottle heads 11 are integrally formed so that the metal bottle heads 11 are embedded in the end sockets.
The end socket and the cylinder body can be integrally formed, so that a splicing seam between the common cylinder body and the end socket is not formed. For convenience of description, the main body portion and the two end portions of the inner liner 121, which are integrally formed, are referred to as a cylinder and a cap, respectively, along with the names of the prior art. However, it is emphasized that the inner container layer 121 is divided into a cylinder and a sealing head in this embodiment, which are mainly distinguished according to the shape and position thereof, and do not represent the actual composition structure of the inner container layer 121.
The end socket and the cylinder body can also be connected by welding, so that a splicing seam between the common cylinder body and the end socket is formed.
In one embodiment, the inner periphery of the end socket of the inner liner layer 121 is provided with a groove, the groove is internally provided with a plurality of protrusions, and when the disk-shaped flange is accommodated in the groove, the protrusions are matched with the grooves, so that the primary connection between the plastic liner 12 and the metal bottle head 11 is realized, and the sealing performance between the plastic liner 12 and the metal bottle head 11 is enhanced.
The inner layer 121 of the inner container is directly contacted with a medium, and has the main functions of air tightness, corrosion resistance, temperature resistance and pressure resistance. Specifically, the material of the inner liner layer 121 is a thermoplastic resin. The thermoplastic resin may be polyamide and may also be high density polyethylene.
The reinforcing layer 122 is formed on the outer wall of the liner inner layer 121 and is fused and bonded with the liner inner layer 121. Therefore, when the composite gas cylinder is subjected to pressure, the reinforcing layer 122 bears a part of the pressure load, the pressure applied to the liner inner layer 121 is reduced, and the deformation resistance is further achieved. The reinforcing layer 122 is formed on the outer wall of the inner container inner layer 121, so that the connection strength of the joint of the metal bottle head 11 and the inner container inner layer 121 is increased, and therefore, when the inner container inner layer 121 deforms under the action of high pressure, the displacement of the metal bottle head 11 and the displacement of the inner container inner layer 121 are synchronous, the phenomenon that the metal bottle head 11 and the plastic inner container 12 are peeled off from each other at the interface is avoided, and the quality of the composite gas cylinder is improved.
The material of the reinforcing layer 122 is fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin, wherein the fiber may be glass fiber, and may also be carbon fiber or other fibers, and the type of the fiber is not limited herein, and may be selected according to practical applications.
In the present embodiment, the thermoplastic resin material of the reinforcement layer 122 is the same as the thermoplastic resin of the liner inner layer 121, and is, for example, polyamide. And before the reinforcing layer 122 is formed on the outer wall of the liner inner layer 121, the fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin and the outer wall of the liner inner layer 121 are heated and softened in advance, then the fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin is wound or sprayed on the outer wall of the liner inner layer 121, and finally the fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin is cured to obtain the fused and bonded reinforcing layer 122 and the liner inner layer 121. The thermoplastic resin of the reinforcing layer 122 and the thermoplastic resin of the liner inner layer 121 are compatible with each other and can be fused into a single body without any distinct interface, so that the fusion bonding force between the reinforcing layer 122 and the liner inner layer 121 is good. In other embodiments, the thermoplastic resin material of the reinforcement layer 122 and the thermoplastic resin material of the inner liner layer 121 may be two materials, for example, one of the thermoplastic resin material of the reinforcement layer 122 and the thermoplastic resin material of the inner liner layer 121 is polyamide, and the other is high density polyethylene.
The reinforcing layer 122 is formed on the liner inner layer 121 through a continuous filament winding process or a spraying process. The continuous fiber winding process includes the steps of firstly preparing fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin prepreg, wherein the fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin prepreg is formed by melting thermoplastic resin, infiltrating the fiber, enabling the thermoplastic resin to be uniformly wrapped on the surface of the fiber, and cooling to obtain the solid fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin prepreg. Before winding, the prepreg and the outer wall of the inner liner 121 need to be heated and softened in modes of infrared, laser or high-temperature hot air spraying and sweeping, so that the reinforcing layer 122 and the inner liner 121 are fused, and the connection strength between the reinforcing layer and the inner liner 121 is ensured.
The winding layer 13 is wound around the outer wall of the reinforcing layer 122 and is connected and fixed with the reinforcing layer 122. Specifically, the material of the winding layer 13 is fiber-reinforced epoxy resin. In this example, the fibers are carbon fibers and the epoxy resin is bisphenol a epoxy resin. The bisphenol A epoxy resin has high mechanical strength, good toughness and moderate viscosity.
In one embodiment, the outer wall of the reinforcing layer 122 is coated with epoxy resin, which is coupled with the fibers of the reinforcing layer 122 and bonded to the wrapping layer 13, so that the wrapping layer 13 is fixedly connected to the reinforcing layer 122. The epoxy resin coated on the outer wall of the reinforcing layer 122 and the epoxy resin coated on the outer wall of the winding layer 13 are made of the same type of material, so that the bonding force between the winding layer 13 and the reinforcing layer 122 is enhanced, and the epoxy resin coated on the outer wall of the reinforcing layer 122 and the fiber coupling connection of the reinforcing layer 122 are achieved, so that the bonding force between the winding layer 13 and the plastic inner container 12 is enhanced, and even after the composite gas cylinder is subjected to pressure circulation, the plastic inner container 12 and the winding layer 13 are always in a bonding state, the phenomenon that the plastic inner container 12 of the composite gas cylinder bulges inwards in a pressure emptying state is avoided, and further, after repeated bulging is avoided, the plastic inner container 12 is silvered and cracked, and the whole service life of the composite gas cylinder is prolonged.
After the adhesive force between the winding layer 13 and the plastic liner 12 is increased, the connection strength of the joint of the metal bottle head 11 and the plastic liner 12 is further increased, so that the metal bottle head 11 and the plastic liner 12 are ensured to be displaced synchronously under the high-pressure condition, the interface between the plastic liner 12 and the metal bottle head 11 is prevented from being peeled off, and the quality and the service life of the composite gas cylinder are improved.
The bonding between the epoxy resin and the reinforcing layer 122 is realized through the coupling effect between the epoxy resin and the fiber, and the bonding force between the epoxy resin and the reinforcing layer 122 is increased.
Specifically, the epoxy resin coated on the outer wall of the reinforcing layer 122 is bisphenol a epoxy resin, which is the same as the epoxy resin of the winding layer 13, so that the epoxy resin and the epoxy resin are better fused, and the bonding strength between the reinforcing layer 122 and the winding layer 13 is enhanced.
In another embodiment, the outer wall of the reinforcing layer 122 may not be coated with epoxy resin, and the wrapping layer 13 is directly bonded to the reinforcing layer 122 and coupled to the fibers of the reinforcing layer 122 through the epoxy resin of the wrapping layer 13 itself.
The outer protective layer 14 is wound around the outer wall of the winding layer 13. Specifically, the material of the outer protection layer 14 is glass fiber reinforced epoxy resin, and the epoxy resin of the outer protection layer 14 is the same as the epoxy resin of the winding layer 13, so that the two layers are well fused, and the bonding force between the outer protection layer 14 and the winding layer 13 is enhanced.
According to the composite gas cylinder, the thermoplastic resin of the reinforcing layer 122 and the inner container inner layer 121 is designed into the same material, so that the reinforcing layer 122 and the inner container inner layer 121 are fused into a whole without an obvious interface, and the epoxy resin coated on the outer wall of the reinforcing layer 122 and the fiber of the reinforcing layer 122 have a coupling effect, so that the bonding force between the winding layer 13 and the plastic inner container 12 is enhanced, the plastic inner container 12 and the winding layer 13 are always in a bonding state even after the composite gas cylinder is subjected to pressure circulation, the phenomenon that the plastic inner container 12 of the composite gas cylinder bulges inwards in a pressure emptying state is avoided, the phenomenon that the plastic inner container 12 bulges inwards after being repeatedly bulged is avoided, and the service life of the whole composite gas cylinder is prolonged.
After the adhesive force between the winding layer 13 and the plastic liner 12 is increased, the connection strength of the joint of the metal bottle head 11 and the plastic liner 12 is further increased, so that the metal bottle head 11 and the plastic liner 12 are ensured to be displaced synchronously under high pressure, and the phenomenon of interface peeling between the plastic liner 12 and the metal bottle head 11 is prevented.
Referring to fig. 3, the invention also provides a method for forming a composite gas cylinder, comprising the following steps:
s1, forming the liner inner layer 121 from thermoplastic resin, and integrally forming the metal bottle head 11 and the liner inner layer 121 during the forming process of the liner inner layer 121.
In one embodiment, the inner container inner layer 121 is formed by a rotational molding process, and specifically includes:
s101, preheating a metal bottle head 11;
s102, placing the preheated metal bottle head 11 in a rotational molding film cavity, and filling thermoplastic resin into the rotational molding film cavity to integrally form the metal bottle head 11 and the inner liner 121.
After the metal bottle head 11 is preheated, the groove on the disc-shaped flange of the metal bottle head 11 can be filled with thermoplastic resin, and the connection strength between the formed metal bottle head 11 and the inner container inner layer 121 is ensured.
