Description

Method for preparing polyurethane pultrusion composite material
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of a polyurethane pultrusion process. In particular, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for preparing a polyurethane pultruded composite using a polyurethane pultrusion process, the polyurethane pultruded composite prepared by the method, and uses thereof.
Background
The pultrusion composite material has the characteristics of high fiber content, uniform quality and the like, and is deeply concerned by the industry. The pultrusion process is simple and efficient, can realize continuous production, and is widely adopted. The general specific operation mode of the pultrusion process is as follows: continuously leading the fiber yarn or the fiber fabric out of a creel, carrying out resin infiltration through an open impregnation tank or a closed infiltration box, putting the fiber after resin infiltration into a mold with a certain cross section shape for heating and curing, continuously pulling out the mold by a traction device, and finally cutting the fiber yarn or the fiber fabric into required length on line, thereby preparing the corresponding composite material.
The traditional pultrusion process mainly adopts an open impregnation mode, namely, fibers, fabrics or felts pass through an impregnation tank with a compression roller or a compression bar, and the fibers with resin are gradually extruded by a preformed plate and then enter a heated die to be cured. The traditional open type gum dipping method has a series of problems such as high VOC (volatile organic compounds) volatilization, higher resin waste rate, high porosity content of finished products and the like. Moreover, the time required for shutdown and product specification replacement is relatively long and the cost is relatively high.
In addition, the surface of the existing polyurethane pultrusion composite material is generally smooth and cannot meet the requirement of a polyurethane product which needs a certain roughness surface and can be further processed or spliced.
CN111169045A discloses a wind-powered electricity generation blade girder sheet pultrusion gumming device, mould, equipment and method, and the pultrusion gumming device includes: the glue dipping mold comprises a closed first mold cavity and a first heating device arranged outside the first mold cavity; the first die cavity is provided with a feed inlet and a discharge outlet, and the first die cavity is also provided with a glue injection port penetrating into the first die cavity; and the glue outlets of the glue injection devices are connected with the glue injection port and are suitable for injecting glue solution into the first mold cavity. The dipping device, the die, the equipment and the method for pultrusion of the main beam sheet of the wind power blade can avoid the influence of environmental factors on the performance of the glue solution, the glue solution is mixed and used at present, the concentration uniformity is high, the positioning trend of the fiber is accurate and controllable, the length and the temperature of each segment in the die are further controlled, the content of the fiber material is controlled, the dipping effect and the curing effect are ensured, and the performance of the prepared product is better.
CN107405842B discloses a pultrusion device. The apparatus comprises a section (3) for receiving the fibres, a section (4) for injecting resin into the fibres, a section for injecting resin into the fibres, and a section for shaping the impregnated fibres, wherein the fibres converge in the resin injection section after they have passed the receiving section to receive the resin, the resin flowing outwardly after the resin has been injected as the fibres travel from the injection section through the impregnation section.
US2005221085 a1 discloses the preparation of polymer-coated, coated fiber composites, hybrid composites and methods and apparatus for making the same. This document provides for maximum spraying and coating of the roving of coated fibers with a stream of molten polymer without physical contact with the solid medium, thereby simultaneously protecting the fiber surface from damage and peeling off the coating. When a product made of the composite material of the application is used, the electromagnetic shielding performance is improved. The method and apparatus of this document uses a nozzle sprayer assembly having a plurality of orifices to enable the thermoplastic or thermoset polymer to more effectively penetrate into the fiber bundles, thereby providing more uniform partial coverage of all of the fibers. The hybrid composite may be composed of two or more reinforcements and one or more matrix polymers.
Despite the above disclosures, there is still a need in the art for an improved process and apparatus suitable for the process, so as to improve the quality and surface condition of the polyurethane pultrusion composite material with the release fabric, improve the production efficiency, and meet the requirements of energy conservation, emission reduction and environmental friendliness.

Generally, the term "gel time" refers to the time until the reaction system A-and B-components begin to mix until the viscosity reaches a certain value (e.g., about 10000 mPa.s). The gel time mentioned in the examples of the present invention is a time measured by using a gel tester.
Through repeated experiments, we unexpectedly found that the method for preparing the polyurethane pultrusion composite material can simply and efficiently prepare the polyurethane pultrusion composite material with the required rough surface with satisfactory quality. The method is suitable for the method, and the glue injection device and the infiltration box which are specially designed can better infiltrate the fiber reinforced material, particularly the fiber infiltration material with certain thickness in shorter time.
In addition, the polyurethane composition has shorter curing time and longer gel time, can be better and more flexibly (for example, can be soaked and molded for a longer time) and is suitable for preparing a polyurethane pultrusion composite material, in particular a large polyurethane pultrusion composite material. In particular, the fibrous reinforcement material can be wetted and shaped for a longer period of time at normal temperatures, for example before entering the mould, and can be cured more quickly at high temperatures, for example after entering the mould.
The equipment (10) used for the method for preparing the polyurethane pultrusion composite material comprises a glue injection device (4) and a soaking box (5), wherein the glue injection device (4) comprises at least two glue injection openings (4a, 4b), and the glue injection openings (4a, 4b) are positioned on two opposite sides (5m, 5n or 5i, 5j) of the soaking box (5).
Preferably, the infiltration box (5) is a cuboid, and the glue injection ports (4a, 4b) are located on two sides (5m, 5n) of the infiltration box in the direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane.
Surprisingly, we have found that when the glue injection opening is located on the side of the infiltration box close to the release fabric (for example, 5i, 5j shown in fig. 3), the polyurethane composition contacts the release fabric first during glue injection, and then contacts the fiber reinforcement material through the release fabric, the infiltration effect is poor, and when the glue injection opening is located on the side of the infiltration box not provided with the release fabric, close to or far from the release fabric (for example, 5m, 5n shown in fig. 2), the better infiltration effect can be achieved. The infiltration box is arranged at or close to the side of the demoulding cloth, and a glue injection opening is not needed. Preferably, the two surfaces of the infiltration box parallel to the horizontal plane have larger areas, and the four surfaces perpendicular to the horizontal plane have smaller areas. The inlet and the outlet are not suitable to be provided with glue injection ports because the fiber reinforced material and the demoulding cloth need to be pulled to pass through. Therefore, preferably, at least two glue injection ports are respectively arranged on two sides of the infiltration box, which are perpendicular to the horizontal plane and also perpendicular to the plane where the inlet and the outlet of the infiltration box are located.
Preferably, the glue injection device (4) further comprises at least two glue injection pipes (4k, 4g), and the glue injection pipes (4k, 4g) are arranged in the infiltration box (5) through the glue injection ports (4a, 4 b).
Preferably, the glue injection device (4) further comprises at least one glue injection runner (4i), and the glue injection runner (4i) is communicated with the glue injection ports (4a, 4 b).
Preferably, the shape of the glue injection flow channel (4i) is selected from the group consisting of circular, oval, rectangular, drop-shaped, triangular, trapezoidal, streamlined, fan-shaped, dam-shaped and any combination thereof, preferably circular, oval or fan-shaped.
Preferably, the length of the glue injection flow channel (4i) is larger than or equal to the width of the infiltration box (5), and the width of the glue injection flow channel (4i) is 6-30mm, preferably 8-20 mm.
Preferably, the glue injection flow channel (4i) is provided with at least two flow channel holes (4ia, 4ib) or at least one gap (4ic), and the diameter of the flow channel hole is 0.5-5mm, preferably 1-4mm, and more preferably 1.5-3 mm. The size and number of the runner holes on the glue injection runner can be adjusted according to the size of the prepared polyurethane pultrusion composite material or the infiltration box, and can be more than 2, preferably 2-5. Similarly, the size and number of the gaps on the glue injection runner can be adjusted according to the size of the polyurethane pultrusion composite material or the infiltration box to be prepared, and can be more than one, preferably 2-4.
Preferably, the center-to-center distance between the two farthest runner holes (4ia, 4ib) is 5% -90%, preferably 10% -80%, more preferably 15% -70% of the length of the glue injection runner (4 i).
Preferably, the width of the gap (4ic) is 0.5-4mm, preferably 1-3mm, and the length of the gap (4ic) is 5% -90%, preferably 10% -80%, and more preferably 15% -70% of the length of the glue injection runner (4 i).
