Description

Composite material, electric appliance and method for preparing composite material

The invention relates to the field of household appliances, in particular to a composite material, an electric appliance adopting the composite material and a method for preparing the composite material.
Background
Heating units are used in various household electrical appliances, such as air conditioners, electric heaters, cookers and stoves. Currently, the main heating modes of the heating unit include electromagnetic heating, hot plate heating and infrared heating. However, the current electromagnetic heating usually needs to adopt a relatively complex heating system, the heat transfer efficiency of the hot plate heating mode is relatively low, and in addition, the infrared heating is only suitable for partial cookware with high infrared absorption coefficient.
The electrothermal alloy layer as a novel heating mode is a resistance alloy which utilizes the resistance characteristic of metal to manufacture a heating element and has higher heat exchange efficiency, higher reliability, lower cost and better manufacturability.
However, the current electrothermal alloy layer technology still needs to be improved.
Disclosure of Invention
The present invention is directed to solving at least one of the problems of the prior art. To this end, an object of the present invention is to propose a composite material that can be effectively applied to household electrical appliances, having an electrothermal alloy coating, with at least one of the following advantages:
the binding force between the electrothermal alloy coating and the conductive coating, or the binding force between the substrate and the insulating layer, or the binding force between the electrothermal alloy coating and the insulating layer is remarkably improved, and the service life of the electrothermal alloy coating is remarkably prolonged;
the insulating layer has higher electrical insulation and can resist high voltage of 1250 volts or even 2500 volts without breakdown; and
the expansion coefficient of the electrothermal alloy coating is close to that of the insulating layer, the electrothermal alloy coating is not easy to deform, and the heating power of the electrothermal alloy coating can be improved.
The present invention has been completed based on the following findings of the inventors:
the inventor of the invention discovers that after a household appliance adopting the electrothermal alloy coating undergoes multiple cold and hot cycles in the use process, the deformation can be generated between the insulating layer and the electrothermal alloy coating, and the breakage can be seriously caused to cause electric leakage or short circuit in the use process. The inventor of the invention has conducted intensive research and found that the insulating layer and the electrothermal alloy coating have different components, so that a large thermal expansion coefficient difference exists between the insulating layer and the electrothermal alloy coating, and further, after multiple cold and hot cycles, the insulating layer and the electrothermal alloy coating can deform to cause a series of adverse effects. Therefore, the inventors have conducted intensive studies and unexpectedly found that the difference in expansion coefficients between the electrothermal alloy coating layer and the insulating layer can be reduced by introducing oxygen into the electrothermal alloy coating layer, and that the expansion coefficient of the electrothermal alloy coating layer and the expansion coefficient of the insulating layer tend to be consistent with each other with the increase of the content of oxygen, thereby preventing the insulating layer and the electrothermal alloy coating layer from being deformed when subjected to cold and hot changes. However, the inventors have also found in the course of intensive research that as the content of oxygen element increases, especially when the content of oxygen element exceeds 40% (atomic percentage), the electric resistance of the electrothermal alloy coating becomes large, and the heat generation power of the electrothermal alloy coating decreases. Therefore, the inventors have conducted intensive studies on the oxygen content of the electrothermal alloy coating layer, and have completed the present invention.
In view of the above, the present invention provides a composite material having an electrothermal alloy layer, which can be effectively applied to a household appliance.
In one aspect of the invention, the invention proposes a composite material comprising, according to an embodiment of the invention: a substrate; an insulating layer formed on a surface of the base; and an electrothermal alloy layer formed on a surface of the insulating layer remote from the base, wherein the electrothermal alloy layer contains a metal element and an oxygen element, wherein an atomic percentage of the oxygen element is not more than 40at% in at least a partial region of the electrothermal alloy layer. Therefore, the bonding force between the electrothermal alloy layer and the insulating layer can be improved, and deformation and even cracking between the insulating layer and the electrothermal alloy layer can be avoided when the electrothermal alloy layer is subjected to cold and hot changes.
As mentioned above, by introducing oxygen element into the electrothermal alloy coating, the difference of the expansion coefficients of the electrothermal alloy coating and the insulating layer can be reduced, thereby avoiding the deformation and even the cracking between the insulating layer and the electrothermal alloy coating when the electrothermal alloy coating is subjected to cold and hot changes. In addition, according to the embodiment of the present invention, by controlling the content of oxygen element within 40% (atomic percentage), it is possible to avoid reducing the heating power of the electrothermal alloy coating, and thus it is possible to ensure that the composite material can be used for a heating unit of an electric appliance such as a home electric appliance.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the above composite material may further have the following additional technical features:
according to an embodiment of the present invention, in at least a part of the area of the electrothermal alloy layer, the atomic percentage of the oxygen element is not less than 5at%. According to an embodiment of the present invention, in at least a partial region of the electrothermal alloy layer, the atomic percentage of the oxygen element is 5 to 30at%. Therefore, the expansion coefficient between the insulating layer and the electrothermal alloy layer is close to that between the insulating layer and the electrothermal alloy layer, and deformation and even cracking between the insulating layer and the electrothermal alloy layer when the insulating layer and the electrothermal alloy layer are subjected to cold and hot changes can be avoided.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the metal element includes at least one selected from a chromium element, an aluminum element, an yttrium element, an iron element, a manganese element, and a nickel element. According to an embodiment of the invention, the metal element comprises: 15 to 25at% of chromium element; 10 to 20at% of aluminum element; 0.1 to 1.5at% of yttrium element; and the balance of iron. Thereby, a high heating efficiency is obtained and the cost is relatively low.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the electrothermal alloy layer is an electrothermal alloy coating, and the electrothermal alloy coating comprises a plurality of electrothermal alloy coating sub-layers, which are sequentially stacked. According to an embodiment of the invention, the oxygen content in the electrothermal alloy coating sub-layer decreases in a direction away from the insulating layer in at least one region of the electrothermal alloy coating. Therefore, in the area close to the insulating layer, the electric heating alloy coating sublayer has relatively high oxygen content and can have an expansion coefficient close to the insulating layer, so that the electric heating alloy coating and the insulating layer are prevented from cracking, and meanwhile, in the area far away from the insulating layer, the electric heating alloy coating sublayer has relatively low oxygen content, so that the electric heating alloy coating can be ensured to have good conductivity.
According to an embodiment of the invention, the composite material further comprises: a conductive layer formed on at least a portion of a surface of the electrothermal alloy layer, the conductive layer being formed of copper or silver. Therefore, the electrothermal alloy layer can be connected with an external circuit through the conducting layer, so that the composite material has good electrothermal performance.
According to an embodiment of the invention, the electrically conductive layer is an electrically conductive coating, and the profile of the interface of the electrically conductive coating with the electrothermal alloy layer has an arithmetic mean deviation Ra of the profile of not less than 5 micrometers in at least one section of the composite material perpendicular to the plane of the substrate. According to an embodiment of the invention, the profile of the interface of the electrically conductive coating with the layer of electrothermal alloy has an arithmetic mean deviation Ra of the profile of not less than 20 micrometers. According to an embodiment of the invention, the interface profile of the electrically conductive coating and the electrothermal alloy layer has a maximum height Rz of not less than 8 microns. According to an embodiment of the invention, the interface profile of the electrically conductive coating and the electrothermal alloy layer has a maximum height Rz of not less than 25 microns. Because the types of materials adopted by the conductive coating and the electrothermal alloy layer are different, the inventor conducts an intensive study to improve the binding force between the conductive coating and the electrothermal alloy layer, and finds that the binding force between the adjacent film layers can be effectively improved by improving the roughness of the interface between the adjacent film layers. Specifically, according to the roughness of the interface, a structure that the conductive coating and the electrothermal alloy layer are inlaid into each other can be formed, so that the bonding force of the conductive coating and the electrothermal alloy layer can be effectively improved.
According to an embodiment of the invention, the thickness of the layer of electrothermal alloy is 10 to 150 μm in at least a part of the area. According to an embodiment of the invention, the thickness of the electrothermal alloy layer is 30-150 μm. According to an embodiment of the invention, the thickness of the layer of electrothermal alloy is 50 micrometers. Therefore, the electric heating alloy layer can effectively meet the requirement of household appliances such as cookware on heat.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the insulating layer is formed of at least one of aluminum oxide, silicon oxide, and aluminum nitride. According to an embodiment of the invention, the thickness of the insulating layer is 50 to 500 micrometers in at least a part of the area. According to an embodiment of the invention, the thickness of the insulating layer is 100 to 300 micrometers. According to an embodiment of the invention, the thickness of the insulating layer is 200 microns. During the research on electrothermal alloy coatings, the inventors of the present invention found that the reduction in porosity causes the conditions of the spraying process to become severe, especially when the porosity is below 0.2%, especially below 0.1%. The inventors have found through experiments that the insulating layer still has satisfactory insulating properties on the premise that the porosity is higher than 0.1%, for example, higher than 0.2%, by controlling the thickness of the insulating layer within the above range.
According to an embodiment of the invention, the insulation voltage of the composite material is not less than 1250 volts. According to an embodiment of the invention, the insulation voltage of the composite material is not less than 2500 volts. Therefore, the insulating layer can have satisfactory insulating performance, so that the situation that the insulating layer is broken down by high voltage cannot occur in the using process of household appliances adopting the composite coating.
According to an embodiment of the invention, the porosity of the insulating layer does not exceed 5% in at least a part of the area. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the porosity of the insulating layer is not less than 0.1%. According to an embodiment of the invention, the porosity of the insulating layer does not exceed 2%. According to an embodiment of the invention, the porosity of the composite material is between 0.1 and 3% in at least a part of the area. According to the embodiment of the invention, the inventor finds that the insulating property of the insulating layer can be effectively improved by controlling the porosity of the insulating layer within a certain range, the insulating layer is prevented from being broken down by high voltage, and meanwhile, the harsh spraying process is also avoided.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the substrate is formed of at least one selected from the group consisting of metal, ceramic, and glass. According to an embodiment of the invention, the metal comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of aluminum, aluminum alloys, stainless steel, iron alloys and iron. Therefore, the heat generated by the electrothermal alloy coating can be effectively conducted.
According to an embodiment of the invention, the insulating layer is an insulating coating, and the profile of the interface of the substrate and the insulating layer has an arithmetic mean deviation Ra of the profile of not less than 20 micrometers in at least one section of the composite material perpendicular to the plane of the substrate. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the profile of the interface of the substrate and the insulating layer has an arithmetic mean deviation Ra of the profile of not less than 30 μm. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the interface profile of the substrate and the insulating layer has a maximum height Rz of not less than 25 μm. According to an embodiment of the invention, the interface profile of the substrate and the insulating layer has a maximum height Rz of not less than 35 micrometer. Since the insulating layer and the substrate are made of different types of materials, the inventors have conducted intensive studies to improve the bonding force between the insulating layer and the substrate, and have found that the bonding force between the adjacent coating layers can be effectively improved under the same spray coating conditions by improving the roughness of the interface between the adjacent coating layers. Specifically, according to the roughness of the interface, an insulating layer embedded matrix structure can be formed, so that the bonding force between the insulating layer and the matrix structure can be effectively improved. In addition, under the condition that the cross section between the base body and the insulating layer has certain roughness, the outer surface of the formed insulating layer far away from the base body also has certain roughness, so that the binding force between the electrothermal alloy coating sprayed on the outer surface and the insulating layer is further enhanced.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the electrothermal alloy layer is an electrothermal alloy coating, and in at least one section of the composite material perpendicular to the plane of the substrate, the interface profile of the electrothermal alloy coating and the insulating layer has an arithmetic mean deviation Ra of the profile of not less than 5 micrometers, or the interface profile of the electrothermal alloy coating and the insulating layer has an arithmetic mean deviation Ra of the profile of not less than 20 micrometers. According to an embodiment of the invention, the interface profile of the electrocaloric alloy coating layer and the insulating layer has a maximum height Rz of not less than 8 microns or the interface profile of the electrocaloric alloy coating layer and the insulating layer has a maximum height Rz of not less than 25 microns. Therefore, the binding force between the electrothermal alloy coating and the insulating layer can be improved.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, further comprising: a protective member covering the electrothermal alloy layer. According to an embodiment of the invention, the protective element is a protective coating covering at least a part of the surface of the layer of electrothermal alloy remote from the substrate. According to an embodiment of the invention, the protection member is an insulating protective shell covering at least a part of the surface of the electrothermal alloy layer away from the substrate. Therefore, the electrothermal alloy layer can be further protected, electric shock of a user in the use process can be avoided, and short circuit of the electrothermal alloy layer caused by air or other materials in the use process can also be avoided.
According to the embodiment of the invention, the electrothermal alloy layer has a preset pattern, and the electrothermal layer is distributed at intervals on the section perpendicular to the plane of the substrate. The electric heating alloy layer and the insulating layer are not completely covered, so that heat is generated locally, the heat at the corresponding position of the insulating layer is higher, then the heat is diffused and transferred at other positions of the insulating layer, and the heat at the corresponding position of the substrate can also be relatively higher.
In a second aspect of the invention, an electrical appliance is presented. According to an embodiment of the invention, the appliance comprises: a heating assembly having the composite material described previously.

Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar function throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are illustrative only for the purpose of explaining the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.
A composite material according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to fig. 1 to 8.
Referring to fig. 1, in one aspect of the present invention, the present invention proposes a composite material including a substrate 100, an insulation layer 200, and an electrothermal alloy layer 300, wherein the insulation layer 200 is formed on a surface of the substrate 100, and the electrothermal alloy layer 300 is formed on a surface of the insulation layer 200 remote from the substrate 100, according to an embodiment of the present invention. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the electrothermal alloy layer 300 contains a metal element and an oxygen element, wherein the oxygen element is present in at least a portion of the electrothermal alloy layer at an atomic percentage of not more than 40at%.
According to the embodiment of the invention, by adopting the electrothermal alloy layer 300, electric energy can be effectively converted into heat energy, the heating efficiency is high, uniform heating is easy, and the use and preparation cost can be reduced. However, in the process of studying the electrothermal alloy layer 300, the inventor of the present invention found that, in the use process of the household appliance using the electrothermal alloy layer 300, after a plurality of cooling and heating cycles, the insulating layer 200 and the electrothermal alloy layer 300 may be deformed, and may be broken to cause electric leakage or short circuit. The inventors of the present invention have conducted extensive studies and found that, due to the different compositions of the insulating layer 200 and the electrothermal alloy layer 300, a large difference in thermal expansion coefficient exists between the insulating layer 200 and the electrothermal alloy layer 300, and further, after a plurality of cold and hot cycles, the insulating layer 200 and the electrothermal alloy layer 300 are deformed, thereby causing a series of adverse effects. Therefore, the inventors have conducted intensive studies and unexpectedly found that the introduction of oxygen into the electrothermal alloy layer 300 can reduce the difference in expansion coefficient between the electrothermal alloy layer 300 and the insulating layer 200, thereby reducing the thermal stress between the electrothermal alloy layer 300 and the insulating layer 200, improving the bonding strength between the electrothermal alloy layer 300 and the insulating layer 200 and the life span during thermal cycling. And it was unexpectedly found that the introduction of oxygen also contributes to the improvement of the resistance and heat generation efficiency of the electrothermal alloy layer 300. The oxygen content can be controlled by the spraying atmosphere, and with the increase of the oxygen element content, the expansion coefficient of the electrothermal alloy layer 300 and the expansion coefficient of the insulating layer 200 tend to be consistent, so that the insulating layer 200 and the electrothermal alloy layer 300 are prevented from being deformed when subjected to cold and heat changes. In addition, as the inventors have made intensive studies, it has been found that, as the content of oxygen element increases, especially when the content of oxygen element exceeds 40% (atomic number percentage, which may be directly expressed as "at%" herein), the electric resistance of the electrothermal alloy layer 300 becomes too high, which lowers the heat generation efficiency of the electrothermal alloy layer, causes overheating of the electrothermal alloy layer 300 to shorten the life, and also rapidly deteriorates the conductive performance of the electrothermal alloy layer. Thus, by controlling the oxygen content in the electrothermal alloy layer 300 to be within 40% (atomic percentage), the electrothermal alloy layer can have a high heat generating efficiency while avoiding deformation or cracking between the insulating layer and the electrothermal alloy layer, and the electrical conductivity of the electrothermal alloy layer 300 can be prevented from being deteriorated, so that the composite material can be used for heating units of electric appliances such as household electric appliances.
Further, according to an embodiment of the present invention, in at least a part of the region of the electrothermal alloy layer, the atomic percent of the oxygen element is not less than 5at%. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the atomic percent of the oxygen element is 5 to 30at% in at least a part of the electrothermal alloy layer. Therefore, the expansion coefficient between the insulating layer and the electrothermal alloy layer is close to that between the insulating layer and the electrothermal alloy layer, and deformation and even cracking between the insulating layer and the electrothermal alloy layer when the insulating layer and the electrothermal alloy layer are subjected to cold and hot changes can be avoided.
The electrothermal alloy layer 300 described above may be an electrothermal alloy coating, according to an embodiment of the present invention. Therefore, the binding force between the electrothermal alloy coating and the insulating layer can be improved, and the phenomenon that the insulating layer and the electrothermal alloy coating deform or even crack when the electrothermal alloy coating is subjected to cold and hot changes is avoided.
It is noted that the content of a specific element (including but not limited to oxygen element, metal element, etc.) in the coating layer can be determined by means well known to those skilled in the art, such as X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy spectroscopy, atomic emission spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, and electrochemical methods. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that, for a given material, when determining the content of a specific element, it is not necessary to determine the content of the whole material, but one or several sites may be detected, and an arithmetic average value may be taken as a detection result, for example, the content of oxygen element is determined by performing elemental analysis on more than 3 sites of the material to be detected, and an average value of the oxygen element contents of these sites is taken as a final detection result. In addition, one skilled in the art can use in situ detection or sample a particular coating before performing the detection, as the case may be.
In the present invention, the term "composite material" refers to a composite body composed of a multilayer structure.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, the type of metal of the electrothermal alloy coating that can be used is not particularly limited as long as it can be adapted to form a stable coating on the surface of the insulator and can generate a desired amount of heat when an electric current is passed. The electrothermal alloy coating which can be used includes both Ni-Cr system and Fe-Cr-Al system alloys, and some rare metal elements such as yttrium element may be added according to circumstances. To this end, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the metal element for forming the electrothermal alloy coating layer includes at least one selected from chromium element, aluminum element, yttrium element, iron element, manganese element, and nickel element. According to an embodiment of the invention, the metal element comprises: 15 to 25at% of chromium element; 10 to 20at% of aluminum element; 0.1 to 1.5at% of yttrium element; and the balance of iron. Thus, high heating efficiency is achieved, and the cost is relatively low, and such elemental proportioning enables good compatibility between the electrothermal alloy coating 300 and the adjacent layers (insulating layer 200, conductive coating 400, or protective coating 500 a) in the composite material.
The means of forming the electrothermal alloy coating 300 according to the embodiment of the present invention is not particularly limited, and various known spraying methods may be employed. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the electrothermal alloy coating 300 may be formed by thermal spraying, such as supersonic spraying or plasma spraying. In the process of forming the electrothermal alloy coating layer 300, a desired oxygen element content can be easily obtained by controlling the supply amount of oxygen. The oxygen element content can be obtained, for example, by adjusting the ratio of air and inert gas. Additionally, referring to FIG. 3, an electrothermal alloy coating 300 may include a plurality of electrothermal alloy coating sub-layers 310, 320, 330, and 340 disposed in a sequential stack, according to an embodiment of the present invention. One skilled in the art may use different elemental oxygen contents for these electrothermal alloy coating sublayers 310, 320, 330, and 340 as desired. According to some examples of the invention, the amount of oxygen in the electrocaloric alloy coating sublayers 310, 320, 330, and 340 decreases in a direction away from the insulating layer (i.e., bottom-to-top in fig. 3) in at least one region of the electrocaloric alloy coating 300. Thus, regions proximate to the insulating layer 200, such as the electrothermal alloy coating sub-layer 340, having a relatively high oxygen content, may have a coefficient of expansion close to that of the insulating layer 200, while regions distal from the insulating layer 200, such as the electrothermal alloy coating sub-layer 310, may have a relatively low oxygen content, which may ensure good electrical conductivity of the electrothermal alloy coating 300. It should be noted that the 4 electrothermal alloy coating sublayers 310, 320, 330 and 340 illustrated in FIG. 3 are for convenience of description only, and those skilled in the art may arrange the electrothermal alloy coating sublayers 310, 320, 330 and 340 according to the total thickness of the electrothermal alloy coating 300 or according to the need, for example, more than ten electrothermal alloy coating sublayers may be used. In addition, it should be noted that, for the plurality of electrothermal alloy coating sub-layers 310, 320, 330 and 340, the oxygen content in the electrothermal alloy coating sub-layers 310, 320, 330 and 340 decreases along the direction away from the insulating layer (i.e. the direction from bottom to top in fig. 3), and it does not mean that the oxygen content of the upper layer is lower than that of the lower layer between any two adjacent electrothermal alloy coating sub-layers, and here, only the trend of the oxygen content is described as a whole, and generally, the oxygen content of the outermost layer, such as the electrothermal alloy coating sub-layer 310 in the figure, is lower than that of the innermost layer, such as the electrothermal alloy coating sub-layer 340, and the fluctuation of the oxygen content of one or several layers may exist in the middle, which is allowed.
Additionally, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the electrocaloric alloy coating 300 is between 10 and 150 microns in at least a portion of the region. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the electrocaloric alloy coating 300 is 30-150 microns. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the electrocaloric alloy coating 300 is 50 microns. Thus, the electrothermal alloy coating 300 can effectively meet the heat requirement of household appliances such as cookware. It should also be noted that, for composite materials, the thickness of each coating layer can also be detected by various known means, and the final detection result can be determined by a method of arithmetic mean of multipoint detection. One skilled in the art will appreciate that different thicknesses of the electrothermal alloy coating 300 will result in different resistances and different heating powers.
The type of material that may be used for the matrix 100 of the composite material is not particularly limited, according to embodiments of the present invention. According to some specific examples of the present invention, the base 100 is formed of at least one selected from the group consisting of metal, ceramic, and glass. According to some embodiments of the present invention, the metal may include at least one selected from aluminum, aluminum alloy, stainless steel, iron alloy and iron, such as 304 stainless steel, 430 stainless steel, and the like. These materials are commonly used in electric appliances such as home appliances, and have a good heat conduction property, and thus, can effectively conduct heat generated from the electrothermal alloy coating layer. Further, when the composite material is applied to a household appliance, it may be convenient to directly use a part of the structure or component existing in the appliance as the substrate 100, for example, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the outer wall of the pot body of an electric cooker may be used as the substrate 100, and further, other coatings of the composite material may be formed on such substrate 100.
In addition, regarding the insulating layer 200, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the insulating layer 200 may be formed using thermal spraying, and particularly, the insulating layer 200 is formed by thermal spraying. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the insulating layer 200 may be formed of aluminum oxide, silicon oxide, or aluminum nitride. The alumina can be presented in the form of ceramic material, which has good insulating property, and the alumina can have better compatibility with various metal alloys and base materials. According to an embodiment of the invention, the insulation voltage of the composite material is not less than 1250 volts. According to an embodiment of the invention, the insulation voltage of the composite material is not less than 2500 volts. Therefore, the insulating layer can have satisfactory insulating performance, so that the situation that the insulating layer is broken down by high voltage cannot occur in the using process of household appliances adopting the composite coating. It should be noted that the insulation voltage of the composite material is not lower than 1250V, which means that after 1250V is applied to the composite material, the composite material is not broken down, and the voltage of the composite material which is not broken down can reach 2500V at most.
Referring to fig. 2, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the insulating layer 200 has a porosity of no more than 5% in at least a portion of the region. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the porosity of the insulating layer 200 is not less than 0.1%. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the porosity of the insulating layer 200 does not exceed 2%. According to an embodiment of the invention, the porosity of the composite material is between 0.1 and 3% in at least a part of the area. The inventor of the present invention has found that, in the process of studying the electrothermal alloy coating 300, the household appliance using the electrothermal alloy coating 300 may have a high voltage breakdown of the insulating layer 200 during the use. In order to avoid this, the inventors have conducted an in-depth analysis of the insulating layer 200 and found that, although the material itself used to form the insulating layer 200 has good insulating properties, voids 201 are present between the particles due to the melting stack of the particles during the thermal spraying. When the porosity in the insulating layer reaches a certain value, the insulating layer may be broken down resulting in a safety risk. Thus, for the same porosity, the thickness of the insulating layer is as thick as possible; the lower the porosity in the insulating layer, the better the same thickness of the insulating layer. However, when the porosity is less than 0.1%, the required flame temperature of thermal spraying is as high as 10000 ℃ or more, the particle velocity for forming the insulating layer is more than 1000m/s, which is difficult to be achieved by the prior art, and the conditions of the preparation process become severe. In addition, the inventors have found that, when the thickness of the insulating layer exceeds 500 μm, the bonding force between the insulating layer and the substrate 100 or the electrothermal alloy coating layer 300 is drastically reduced. In addition, the inventors have found that the pores 201 are hygroscopic during use of the appliance, thereby further reducing the insulation of the insulating layer. For this reason, the inventors have conducted intensive studies on the porosity of the insulating layer, and found that when the porosity of the insulating layer exceeds 5%, the insulating property of the insulating layer 200 is deteriorated, and the moisture absorption of the insulating layer 200 is increased, and there is a possibility that the insulating layer is broken down even by high voltage. According to the embodiment of the invention, the inventor finds that the insulating property of the insulating layer can be effectively improved by controlling the porosity of the insulating layer within a certain range, the insulating layer is prevented from being broken down by high voltage, and meanwhile, a harsh spraying process is also avoided.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the insulating layer 200 has a thickness of 50 to 500 μm in at least a portion of the region. According to the embodiment of the invention, the thickness of the insulating layer is 100-300 micrometers. According to an embodiment of the invention, the thickness of the insulating layer is 200 microns. The inventors of the present invention have found that, by controlling the thickness of the insulating layer within the above range, the insulating layer still has satisfactory insulating properties with a porosity higher than 0.1%, for example, higher than 0.2%, and can ensure a strong bonding strength between the insulating layer 200 and other coating layers, for example, the electrothermal alloy coating 300 or the substrate 100.
In addition, one skilled in the art can form the insulating layer 200 by spray coating, such as a plasma spray coating process, and can achieve a range of porosity (also sometimes referred to as porosity) by controlling parameters of the plasma spray coating process. Referring to fig. 4, the insulating layer 200 may include a plurality of insulating layer sub-layers 210, 220, 230, and 240 sequentially stacked according to an embodiment of the present invention. One skilled in the art may employ different porosities for the insulating layer sub-layers 210, 220, 230, and 240 as desired. According to some examples of the invention, the porosity in the insulating layer sub-layers 210, 220, 230, and 240 increases in a direction away from the insulating layer (a bottom-up direction in the drawing). Thus, the insulating layer sub-layer 240 has relatively low porosity and high insulating performance in a region close to the substrate 100, and the insulating layer sub-layer 210 has relatively high porosity in a region far from the substrate 100, so that the manufacturing cost can be reduced and the bonding force between the insulating layer and the electrothermal alloy coating can be improved. It should be noted that the 4 insulating layer sub-layers 210, 220, 230 and 240 shown in the drawings are only for convenience of description, and those skilled in the art may set the number of the insulating layer sub-layers according to the desired total thickness of the insulating layer 200 or according to the need, for example, ten or more stacked insulating layer sub-layers may be used. In addition, it should be particularly noted that, for the plurality of insulating layer sub-layers 210, 220, 230 and 240, the porosity in the insulating layer sub-layers 210, 220, 230 and 240 increases along the direction away from the substrate, and does not mean that the requirement is satisfied between any two adjacent insulating layer sub-layers, and the trend is only described as a whole.
The porosity of the insulating layer can be determined by one skilled in the art using techniques known in the art, for example, by taking a cross-sectional view of the composite coating and measuring the area fraction of pores 201 in the insulating layer 200 per unit area. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that by taking an average of a plurality of porosity values based on a plurality of cross sections, the porosity of the final insulating layer 200 may be determined. In addition, one skilled in the art can also refer to drainage methods to determine the porosity of the composite material as a whole. Thus, according to embodiments of the present invention, the porosity of the composite material is 0.1 to 3% in at least a portion of the region. Therefore, the breakdown voltage resistance of the composite material can be improved, and the safety of the composite material in the using process can be improved.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 6, the composite material further includes: and a conductive layer 400, the conductive layer 400 being formed on at least a portion of a surface of the electrothermal alloy coating layer 300, a material constituting the conductive layer 400 including silver or copper. Therefore, the electrothermal alloy coating can be connected with an external circuit through the conducting layer, so that the composite material has good electrothermal performance.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the insulating layer and the conductive layer may be formed by spraying, respectively, that is, the insulating layer is an insulating coating and the conductive layer is a conductive coating. The inventor of the invention finds that in the process of researching the electrothermal alloy coating, after the household appliance adopting the electrothermal alloy coating is subjected to a plurality of cold and hot cycles in the using process, the situation that the insulating layer is separated from the substrate, or the electrothermal alloy coating is separated from the conductive coating, or the electrothermal alloy coating is separated from the insulating layer can occur. After the inventors have conducted extensive analysis, it is found that the bonding force between the respective coating layers is not easily increased due to the different types of materials used for the substrate, the insulating layer, the conductive coating layer, and the electrothermal alloy coating layer. For this reason, the inventors have conducted intensive studies and found that the bonding force between adjacent coating layers can be effectively improved under the same spray condition by improving the roughness of the interface between the adjacent coating layers.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 6, in order to further improve the bonding force between the electrothermal alloy coating layer and the insulating layer, an interface profile L30 of the electrothermal alloy coating layer and the insulating layer has an arithmetic mean deviation Ra of the profile of not less than 5 μm in at least one section of the composite material perpendicular to the plane of the substrate. According to an embodiment of the invention, the profile L30 of the interface of the electrocaloric alloy coating and the insulating layer has an arithmetic mean deviation Ra of the profile of not less than 20 micrometers, such as 20 micrometers, 25 micrometers, 30 micrometers, 40 micrometers. In other words, for example, the thickness of the electrothermal alloy coating is 100 μm, the arithmetic mean deviation Ra of the interface profile of the electrothermal alloy coating and the insulating layer is 20%, 25%, 30%, 40% of the thickness of the electrothermal alloy coating. According to an embodiment of the invention, the electrothermal alloy coating-insulating layer interface profile L30 has a maximum height Rz of not less than 8 microns. According to an embodiment of the invention, the electrothermal alloy coating-insulating layer interface profile L30 has a maximum height Rz of not less than 25 microns. Therefore, the phenomenon of separation between layers due to thermal stress between the electrothermal alloy coating and the insulating layer can be reduced, the contact area between the electrothermal alloy coating and the insulating layer can be increased, the transfer of heat to a base body through the insulating layer can be accelerated, further, the transition connection of mutual embedding is adopted, more heat is generated by the electrothermal alloy coating, the heat conduction speed of the electrothermal alloy coating is higher, the heat conduction speed of the insulating layer is relatively lower, the transition structure connection of mutual embedding is arranged, the contact area is increased, the heat transfer efficiency between the interface of the electrothermal alloy coating and the insulating layer is improved, on one hand, the phenomenon of separation between the electrothermal alloy coating and the insulating layer due to large temperature difference between the electrothermal alloy coating and the insulating layer is prevented, on the other hand, the corrosion phenomenon generated by the electrothermal alloy coating due to the thermal stress can be reduced, the service life of the electrothermal alloy coating is prolonged, further, the heat conduction efficiency of the insulating layer can be quickly conducted into the heat of the electrothermal alloy coating, and the heating efficiency of the base body is improved.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 6, in order to improve the bonding force between the electrothermal alloy coating and the conductive coating, the interface profile L20 of the conductive coating 400 and the electrothermal alloy coating 300 has an arithmetic mean deviation Ra of the profile of not less than 5 μm in at least one cross section of the composite material perpendicular to the plane of the substrate. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the interface profile L20 of the electrically conductive coating 400 and the electrothermal alloy coating 300 has an arithmetic mean deviation Ra of the profile of not less than 20 microns, such as 20 microns, 25 microns, 30 microns, 40 microns. In other words, for example, for a 100 μm thick electrocaloric alloy coating, the arithmetic mean deviation Ra of the interface profile of the electrocaloric alloy coating and the conductive coating is 20%, 25%, 30%, 40% of the thickness of the electrocaloric alloy coating. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the interface profile L20 of the electrically conductive coating 400 and the electrothermal alloy coating 300 has a maximum height Rz of not less than 8 microns. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the interface profile L20 of the electrically conductive coating 400 and the electrothermal alloy coating 300 has a maximum height Rz of not less than 25 microns. Because the types of materials used for the conductive coating 400 and the electrothermal alloy coating 300 are different, a structure in which the conductive coating 400 and the electrothermal alloy coating 300 are inlaid into each other can be formed according to the roughness of the interface, so that the bonding force between the conductive coating 400 and the electrothermal alloy coating 300 can be effectively improved, the contact area can be effectively increased, and the transmission efficiency of current can be improved.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 6, in order to improve the bonding force between the insulating layer and the substrate, the profile L10 of the interface between the substrate 100 and the insulating layer 200 has a profile arithmetic mean deviation Ra of not less than 20 μm in at least one section of the composite material perpendicular to the plane of the substrate. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the interface profile L10 of the substrate 100 and the insulating layer 200 has an arithmetic mean deviation Ra of the profile of not less than 30 micrometers, such as 40 micrometers, 50 micrometers, 60 micrometers. In other words, for an insulating layer having a thickness of 200 μm, the arithmetic mean deviation Ra of the interface profile between the insulating layer and the substrate is 20%, 25%, 30% of the thickness of the insulating layer. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the interface profile L10 of the substrate 100 and the insulating layer 200 has a maximum height Rz of not less than 25 μm. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the interface profile L10 of the substrate 100 and the insulating layer 200 has a maximum height Rz of not less than 35 μm. As described above, by increasing the roughness of the interface between adjacent coatings, the bonding force between adjacent coatings can be effectively increased under the same spray condition. Specifically, according to the roughness of the interface, the insulating layer 200 may be embedded in the substrate 100, so that the bonding force between the insulating layer and the substrate may be effectively improved. In addition, under the condition that the cross section between the substrate 100 and the insulating layer 200 has a certain roughness, the outer surface of the insulating layer 200, which is far away from the substrate 100, is also formed to have a certain roughness, so that the bonding force between the electrothermal alloy coating 300 and the insulating layer 200 sprayed on the outer surface is further enhanced, and further, the bonding force between the electrothermal alloy coating 300 and other structures, such as the conductive coating 400, is also facilitated, the bonding area between the electrothermal alloy coating 300 and the other structures is increased, and the current transmission efficiency is improved.
The surface of the substrate 100 may be roughened as required by those skilled in the art before the insulating layer 200 is coated, for example, by sand blasting or sanding, preferably sand blasting, so that the degree of roughness can be easily controlled, and for example, sand blasting with a particle size of 50 to 100 μm may be performed at a pressure of 0.8 to 1.5MPa for 10 to 200 seconds.
According to an embodiment of the invention, the arithmetic mean deviation Ra of the profile of the interface between the insulating layer and the substrate is greater than the arithmetic mean deviation Ra of the profile of the interface between the insulating layer and the electrothermal alloy coating and greater than the arithmetic mean deviation Ra of the profile of the interface between the electrothermal alloy coating and the conductive coating. Therefore, the binding force between layers can be improved, heat generated by the electrothermal alloy coating can be quickly transferred to the insulating layer, the efficiency and uniformity of heat transfer from the insulating layer to the substrate are improved, the thermal stress between the substrate and the insulating layer is reduced, and the delamination phenomenon between the substrate and the insulating layer is prevented.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the terms arithmetic mean deviation Ra and maximum height Rz of the profile as used herein are common parameters for evaluating the surface profile of an object, and those skilled in the art can perform detection by using well-known means after acquiring an interface image, for example, the national standard GB/T1031-2009 describes a specific detection method: the arithmetic mean deviation Ra of the profile is the arithmetic mean of the absolute values of the distances from each point on the measured profile to the datum line in the sampling length; the maximum height Rz is the sum of the average of the peak heights of the five maximum profiles and the average of the valley bottoms of the five maximum profiles over the measured profile over the sample length.
Referring to fig. 5 and 8, the electrothermal alloy coating 300 can generate a large amount of heat when current passes through it, and in the embodiment of the present invention, it is proposed that the current is supplied to the electrothermal alloy coating 300 through the conductive coating 400, and the conductive coating 400 has a large contact area with the electrothermal alloy coating 300, so that the current transmission efficiency can be improved. According to embodiments of the present invention, the conductive coating may have a thickness of 30-150 microns. Therefore, the conductive coating has good conductive performance. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the composite material further comprises a conductive connector 410, one end of the conductive connector 410 is connected to the conductive coating 400, and the other end of the conductive connector 410 is adapted to be connected to a power source 420. According to an embodiment of the present invention, at least one of the conductive connecting member 410 and the conductive coating 00 is a low heat generating material, for example, formed of copper or silver. Therefore, in the process that the power supply 420 supplies power to the electrothermal alloy coating 300 through the conductive connecting piece 410 and the conductive coating 400, the conductive connecting piece 410 does not generate excessive heat, so that the phenomenon that the conductive connecting piece 410 is connected with the power supply 420 and hot melting does not occur in the working process of the electrothermal alloy coating 300 is avoided, and further the conductive connecting piece 410 and the power supply 420 can be connected by adopting a metal material with a relatively low melting point, for example, in a soldering mode, so that the production cost is reduced.
According to an embodiment of the invention, the electrocaloric alloy coating has a predetermined pattern. According to the embodiment of the invention, the electrothermal alloy coatings are distributed at intervals on the interface vertical to the plane of the substrate. The electrothermal alloy coating and the insulating layer are not covered completely, so that heat is generated locally, the heat at the corresponding position of the insulating layer is higher, then the heat is diffused at other parts of the insulating layer for heat transfer, and the heat at the corresponding position of the corresponding substrate is also possibly relatively higher.
Referring to fig. 7 and 8, additionally, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the composite material may further have a protection means, for example, a protector 500a, 500b, the protector 500a, 500b covering at least a portion of the electrothermal alloy coating 300. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the protection member is a protective coating 500a, and the protective coating 500a covers at least a portion of the surface of the electrothermal alloy coating 300 remote from the substrate 100. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the protection member is an insulating protective shell 500b, and the insulating protective shell 500b may cover at least a portion of the surface of the electrothermal alloy coating 300 away from the substrate 100. Therefore, the electrothermal alloy coating can be further protected, electric shock of a user in the use process is avoided, and short circuit of the electrothermal alloy coating caused by air or other materials in the use process can also be avoided. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the protective member is preferably made of an insulating material. For example, the protective member may be a ceramic coating, an insulating varnish, or an insulating structural member such as a plastic shell.
It should be noted that the features and advantages described above for the respective coatings or components may be combined with each other and are described separately for convenience only and will not be described again here.
As previously mentioned, the composite materials described herein can be used in the field of home appliances as heating components for home products, and can exert their various advantages. Thus, in a second aspect of the invention, the invention proposes an electrical appliance. According to an embodiment of the invention, the appliance comprises: a heating assembly having the composite material described previously. Thus, according to embodiments of the present invention, the appliance can utilize the high heat generation efficiency of the composite material. In addition, as mentioned above, by introducing oxygen into the electrothermal alloy layer, the difference in expansion coefficient between the electrothermal alloy layer and the insulating layer can be reduced, thereby avoiding deformation and cracking between the insulating layer and the electrothermal alloy layer when the electrothermal alloy layer is subjected to cold and heat changes. In addition, by controlling the content of oxygen element within 40% (atomic percentage), under the condition of avoiding deformation or cracking between the insulating layer and the electrothermal alloy layer, the electrothermal alloy layer can have higher heat generation efficiency, and the electric conductivity of the electrothermal alloy layer can be prevented from being deteriorated, so that the electric appliance adopting the composite material has high safety and use reliability.

Referring to fig. 9 to 11, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the electric appliance is a pot 1000 including the aforementioned composite material and a pot body 10, a portion of an outer wall of the pot body 10 constitutes a matrix of the composite material, and the electric heating alloy coating 300 is disposed on the outer wall of the pot body 10.
In order to improve the heating efficiency of the electrothermal alloy coating, according to the embodiment of the invention, the electrothermal alloy coating 300 forms the heat generating layer 30 of the pot 1000 on the pot body, the heat generating layer comprises a plurality of heat generating sections 31 connected end to end in sequence, the head end of the first heat generating section 31 in the plurality of heat generating sections 31 is suitable for being connected with the power input end of the heating circuit, and the tail end of the last heat generating section 31 in the plurality of heat generating sections 31 is suitable for being connected with the power output end of the heating circuit.
Therefore, the heating layer 30 is divided into the plurality of heating sections 31 which are connected in series, a loop can be formed during electrification, wherein the heating sections 31 can be one or two combinations of straight lines and circular arcs, so that the heating layer 30 is attractive in arrangement, simple in manufacturing process and high in utilization rate.
In some embodiments, a portion of the plurality of heat-generating segments 31 is an arc segment 311, another portion of the plurality of heat-generating segments 31 is a first transition segment 312, a center of a circle corresponding to the plurality of arc segments 311 is a center of a bottom wall of the pot body, and at least a portion of the plurality of arc segments 311 is arranged at intervals in a radial direction of a circumference with the center of the bottom wall of the pot body as a center, that is, a circle corresponding to at least a portion of the plurality of arc segments 311 is arranged concentrically. In the extending direction of the heat generating layer 30, the plurality of arc segments 311 are arranged at intervals, the plurality of first transition segments 312 are arranged at intervals, two adjacent arc segments 311 are connected through the first transition segment 312, and the arc segments 311 are connected between two adjacent first transition segments 312. The plurality of arc sections 311 and the plurality of first transition sections 312 are connected in series, so that a loop can be formed during electrification, uniform heating is realized, the heating layer 30 is attractive in arrangement, the manufacturing process is simple, and the utilization rate is high. In some examples, the first transition section 312 is a straight or arcuate section. Specifically, in the present embodiment, two adjacent circular arc segments 311 are connected by a straight line segment. In the present embodiment, two adjacent circular arc segments 311 are connected by a circular arc transition.
In some embodiments, a portion of the plurality of heat-emitting segments 31 is a straight segment 313, another portion of the plurality of heat-emitting segments 31 is a second transition segment 314, and at least a portion of the plurality of straight segments 313 are arranged in parallel or in line. In the extending direction of the heat generating layer 30, a plurality of straight sections 313 are arranged at intervals, a plurality of second transition sections 314 are arranged at intervals, two adjacent straight sections 313 are connected through the second transition sections 314, and two adjacent second transition sections 314 are connected through the straight sections 313.

In some examples, the second transition section 314 forms an arc section and the circle center corresponding to the arc section is the center of the bottom wall of the pan body; and/or the second transition section 314 forms a straight line segment. Specifically, two adjacent straight sections 313 may be connected by a circular arc section and a straight section.
Since the current always flows along the path with the shortest distance, if the corner formed between two adjacent heating sections 31 is a right angle, especially the current is easily accumulated at the position where the inner corner is the right angle, which results in the right angle current being too high, the local temperature of the heating layer 30 is too high if light, and the local heating section 31 of the heating layer 30 is easily burned out if heavy, and even a short circuit is easily caused. Therefore, in some embodiments, two adjacent heat generation sections 31 are connected in a circular arc transition manner.
In order to prevent the heating section 31 from being worn or damaged to affect the heating effect of the pot body 10, in some embodiments, the width D2 of the heating section 31 is set to be 0.1mm to 30mm. For example, the width D2 of the heat emitting segment 31 may be 0.1mm, 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm. In some examples, the width D2 of the heat emitting segment 31 is set to 5mm to 12mm.
It should be noted that too large distance D1 between two adjacent spaced-apart heat-generating segments 31 may result in poor uniformity of heating temperature, too small distance D1 between two adjacent spaced-apart heat-generating segments 31 may result in small creepage distance for the first heat generation, and if there is a foreign matter between two adjacent spaced-apart heat-generating segments 31 or due to environmental moisture, an arc may be easily generated, thereby damaging heat-generating layer 30.
Therefore, in some embodiments, the distance D1 between two adjacent heat generating segments 31 arranged at intervals is set to be 0.1mm to 20mm. For example, the distance D1 between two adjacent spaced-apart heat emitting segments 31 may be 0.1mm, 5mm, 8mm, 12mm, 15mm, 20mm. In some examples, the distance D1 between two adjacent spaced-apart heat emitting segments 31 is 5mm to 10mm, for example, the distance D1 between two adjacent spaced-apart heat emitting segments 31 may be 5mm, 7mm, 10mm.
