The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
It should be noted that, for convenience of description, like reference numerals denote like parts in the embodiments of the present application, and a detailed description of the like parts is omitted in different embodiments for the sake of brevity.
Referring to fig. 1, a housing assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a housing body 10, and raw material components of the housing body 10 include a modified inorganic filler and a thermoplastic resin.
Alternatively, the case assembly 100 of the present application may be an outer case, a middle frame, a decoration, and the like of an electronic device. The housing assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present application may have a 2D structure, a 2.5D structure, a 3D structure, and the like. Optionally, the housing assembly 100 includes a bottom plate (not shown) and a side plate (not shown) connected to the bottom plate (not shown) in a bending manner, and the bottom plate and the side plate enclose an accommodating space for accommodating a component (e.g., a PCB).
Optionally, the weight ratio of the modified inorganic filler to the thermoplastic resin is 4:1 to 20. Specifically, the weight ratio of the modified inorganic filler to the thermoplastic resin may be, but is not limited to, 4:1, 5:1, 6:1, 7:1, 8:1, 9:1, 10. When the content of the modified inorganic filler is too small, the wear resistance of the manufactured case assembly 100 is poor, the life of the case assembly 100 is reduced, and simultaneously, the ceramic texture of the case assembly 100 is affected due to poor surface gloss. When the content of the modified inorganic filler is too large, the housing body 10 is difficult to mold, and the prepared housing assembly 100 has poor toughness and is easy to break. When the weight ratio of the modified inorganic filler to the thermoplastic resin is 4:1-20, the prepared shell assembly 100 has better ceramic texture and hand feeling, higher pencil hardness, higher toughness and difficult breakage.
The raw material components of the housing body 10 of the housing assembly 100 of the present application include the modified inorganic filler and the thermoplastic resin in a weight ratio of 4:1 to 20, which makes the manufactured housing assembly 100 have lighter weight compared with ceramics, and simultaneously have high glossiness, ceramic texture and higher pencil hardness, and at the same time, the cost of the housing assembly 100 is reduced, and the housing assembly 100 has better dielectric properties. In addition, compared with a plastic shell, the pencil has higher pencil hardness, wear resistance and ceramic texture.
In some embodiments, the modified inorganic filler comprises modified Al 2 O 3 Modified TiO 2 2 Modified ZrO 2 Modified Si 3 N 4 Modified SiO 2 One or more of (a). The modified inorganic filler may be prepared by adding an inorganic filler (e.g., al) 2 O 3 、TiO 2 、ZrO 2 、Si 3 N 4 、SiO 2 ) And surface modifying with surface modifier. Alternatively, the surface modifier may be, but is not limited to, one or more of a silane coupling agent, a borate coupling agent, a titanate coupling agent. The surface modifier is adopted to modify the inorganic filler, so that the compatibility between the inorganic filler and the thermoplastic resin can be increased, the binding force between the inorganic filler and the thermoplastic resin is improved, the inorganic filler and the thermoplastic resin are mixed more uniformly, and the mixing system is more stable, so that the mechanical property of the shell body 10 is improved, and further the mechanical property of the shell assembly 100 is improved. Alternatively, the surface modifier may be added in an amount of 0.5 to 3% by weight of the inorganic filler, and specifically, the surface modifier may be added in an amount of, but not limited to, 0.5%, 0.8%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 1.8%, 2.0%, 2.3%, 2.8%, 3.0%, and the like. When the addition amount of the surface modifier is less than 0.5%, the modification of the inorganic filler is incomplete, in other words, some inorganic filler is not modified, which affects the binding force between the inorganic filler and the thermoplastic resin, and when the addition amount of the surface modifier is greater than 3%, excessive surface modifier molecules are deposited on the surface of the inorganic filler, so that the obtained modified inorganic filler is easy to agglomerate and difficult to uniformly disperse in the thermoplastic resin, which is not favorable for improving the mechanical properties of the housing assembly 100.
Alternatively, the modified inorganic filler may be prepared by:
1) Dissolving the surface modifier in alcohol, water or alcohol-water mixed solvent, and mixing uniformly; and optionally, the alcohol may be, but is not limited to, ethanol, propanol, etc., and the present application is not particularly limited.
2) Adding inorganic filler, mixing uniformly at normal temperature, and drying to obtain the modified inorganic filler.
Specifically, after the inorganic filler is added, the mixture can be placed at normal temperature, mixed by mechanical stirring or ultrasonic waves, and then subjected to flash evaporation or drying in a vacuum drying oven at 60 ℃ to 80 ℃ to obtain the modified inorganic filler.
In some embodiments, the thermoplastic resin may be, but is not limited to, one or more of Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polysulfone (PSU), polyethersulfone (PES), polyetherketone (PEK), polycarbonate, and polyamide. When the thermoplastic resin is one or more of polyphenylene sulfide, polysulfone, polyethersulfone, or polyetherketone, after the housing body 10 is molded, the thermoplastic resin can be subjected to chain extension and crosslinking at a temperature higher than the melting temperature of the thermoplastic resin, so that the crystallinity and the crosslinking degree of the thermoplastic resin are improved, the modified inorganic filler can be better bound in a crosslinking network of the thermoplastic resin, the bonding force between the thermoplastic resin and the modified inorganic filler is improved, and the pencil hardness and the toughness of the manufactured housing assembly 100 are improved.
In some embodiments, the raw material components of the housing body 10 further include a dispersant, and the dispersant is used to enable the thermoplastic resin and the modified inorganic filler to be mixed more uniformly, so that the mixed system is more stable. The dispersant may be, but is not limited to, liquid paraffin or the like. The addition amount of the dispersant may be 2% to 6% by weight, specifically, but not limited to, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, and the like, based on the total weight of the thermoplastic resin and the modified inorganic filler.
In some embodiments, the raw material composition of the housing body 10 further includes a plasticizer, which is used to enhance the plasticity and the fluidity of the thermoplastic resin in a molten state, so as to reduce the processing temperature of the housing body 10 and improve the processability of the housing assembly 100. The plasticizer may be, but is not limited to, dioctyl oxalate, and the amount of the plasticizer added may be 2 to 6% by weight, specifically, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, and the like, based on the total weight of the thermoplastic resin and the modified inorganic filler.
In some embodiments, the raw material components of the housing body 10 further include a pigment for providing the housing body 10 with a colored pattern or color, thereby providing the housing assembly 100 with a colored pattern or color. By controlling the color and the ratio of the pigment, the housing body 10 can present different appearance effects, so that the housing assembly 100 presents different appearance effects. Alternatively, the pigment may be added in an amount of 0.5% to 5% by weight, specifically, but not limited to, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, etc., based on the total weight of the thermoplastic resin and the modified inorganic filler.
Optionally, the thickness of the housing body 10 is 0.3mm to 1mm; specifically, the thickness of the case body 10 may be, but is not limited to, 0.3mm, 0.4mm, 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.7mm, 0.8mm, 0.9mm, 1mm, and the like. When the housing body 10 is too thin, the supporting and protecting functions cannot be well performed, the mechanical strength cannot well meet the requirements of the electronic device housing assembly 100, when the housing body 10 is too thick, the weight of the electronic device is increased, the hand feeling of the electronic device is affected, and the user experience is not good.
Alternatively, the surface roughness of the case body 10 is Ra 0.02 to Ra 0.08, and specifically, may be, but is not limited to, ra 0.02, ra 0.03, ra 0.04, ra 0.05, ra 0.06, ra0.07, ra 0.08, or the like. If the roughness is too large, the ceramic texture of the housing assembly 100 is affected, and if the roughness is too small, the process requirements are too strict, and the preparation cost is high.
Optionally, the pencil hardness of the housing body 10 is 4H to 9H; specifically, it may be, but is not limited to, 4H, 5H, 6H, 7H, 8H, 9H, etc. When the hardness of the pencil of the housing body 10 is too small, the wear resistance of the manufactured housing assembly 100 is poor, and the glossiness and the ceramic texture of the surface of the housing assembly 100 are affected after the housing assembly 100 is used for a period of time.
Referring to fig. 2, in some embodiments, the housing assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present application further includes a protective layer 30, the protective layer 30 is disposed on a surface of the housing body 10, and the protective layer 30 is used for preventing dirt and fingerprints, so as to improve the user experience of the housing assembly 100.
In some embodiments, the water contact angle of the overcoat layer 30 is greater than 105 °, specifically, may be, but is not limited to, 106 °, 110 °, 115 °, 120 °, 125 °, 130 °, 140 °, 150 °, etc., and the greater the water contact angle, the better the anti-fingerprint effect of the overcoat layer 30.
Optionally, the protective layer 30 is light transmissive, and the optical transmittance of the protective layer 30 is greater than or equal to 80%, and specifically, may be, but is not limited to, 80%, 82%, 85%, 88%, 90%, 92%, 95%, 96%, 97%, and the like. The protective layer 30 has a high transmittance, so as not to block the glossiness of the housing body 10 and affect the ceramic texture of the housing assembly 100.
In some embodiments, the raw material component of the protective layer 30 may include, but is not limited to, one or more of perfluoropolyether, perfluoropolyether derivatives, and the like, and the protective layer 30 is formed by evaporating a glue solution composed of the raw material component of the protective layer 30 on the surface of the case body 10. The perfluoropolyether and the perfluoropolyether derivative have excellent fingerprint resistance and can play a good role in fingerprint resistance and stain resistance. Alternatively, the thickness of the protective layer 30 is 5nm to 20nm, and specifically, may be, but is not limited to, 5nm, 6nm, 8nm, 10nm, 12nm, 14nm, 16nm, 18nm, 20nm, and the like. If the thickness of the protective layer 30 is too thin, the antifouling and fingerprint-proof effects cannot be achieved, and if the thickness of the protective layer 30 is too thick, the manufacturing cost of the housing assembly 100 is increased, and the hand feeling of the housing assembly 100 is also affected.
Ceramics have a warm and moist hand feeling and a high gloss texture, and therefore, are often used as exterior structural members of high-end electronic device housings, middle frames, decorative parts, and the like. However, the density of the ceramic is high, the manufactured electronic equipment appearance structural part is heavy, the pencil hardness is high, the electronic equipment appearance structural part is easy to crack, the processing difficulty is high, and in addition, the processing cost of the ceramic is high, so that the application of the ceramic is greatly limited. In order to improve the performance and cost of ceramics, in the related art, a thermoplastic resin and a ceramic powder (inorganic filler) are mixed, and injection molding is often adopted, however, when injection molding is adopted, the content of the ceramic powder is difficult to reach more than 80%, and when the content of the ceramic powder accounts for 80% of the total weight of the ceramics and the thermoplastic resin, the fluidity of the thermoplastic resin/the ceramic powder formed by mixing is poor, the resistance in the injection molding process is large, the flow marks are obvious, in addition, the injection molding time is usually short, and no sufficient time is available for moving and winding the thermoplastic resin molecular chains, which is not beneficial to improving the hardness and toughness of the finished product pencil, so that the appearance structural member obtained by injection molding has large porosity, low pencil hardness and toughness, and insufficient ceramic glossiness, and cannot meet the requirement of the appearance structural member of electronic equipment.
Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 3, in a method for manufacturing the housing assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the method for manufacturing the housing assembly 100 may be applied to manufacture the housing assembly 100 according to the above embodiment. The housing assembly 100 includes a housing body 10, and the method of manufacturing the housing assembly 100 includes:

Optionally, the weight ratio of the modified inorganic filler to the thermoplastic resin is 4:1 to 20.
Optionally, the modified inorganic filler comprises modified Al 2 O 3 Modified TiO 2 2 Modified ZrO 2 Modified Si 3 N 4 Modified SiO 2 One or more of (a). The modified inorganic filler may be prepared by adding an inorganic filler (e.g., al) 2 O 3 、TiO 2 、ZrO 2 、Si 3 N 4 、SiO 2 ) And surface modifying with surface modifier. Alternatively, the surface modifier may be, but is not limited to, one or more of a silane coupling agent, a borate coupling agent, a titanate coupling agent. The surface modifier is added in an amount of 0.5 to 3% by weight of the inorganic filler.
Optionally, before the mixing the modified inorganic filler with the thermoplastic resin, the method further comprises: and (3) carrying out surface modification on the inorganic filler by adopting a surface modifier to obtain the modified inorganic filler.

2) Adding inorganic filler, mixing uniformly at normal temperature, and drying to obtain the modified inorganic filler.
Specifically, after the inorganic filler is added, the mixture can be placed at normal temperature, mixed by mechanical stirring or ultrasonic waves, and then dried by flash evaporation or in a vacuum drying oven at 60 ℃ to 80 ℃ to obtain the modified inorganic filler.
Alternatively, the thermoplastic resin may be, but is not limited to, one or more of polyphenylene sulfide, polysulfone, polyethersulfone, polyetherketone, polycarbonate, and polyamide. When the thermoplastic resin is one or more of polyphenylene sulfide, polysulfone, polyethersulfone, or polyetherketone, after the housing body 10 is molded, the thermoplastic resin can be subjected to chain extension and crosslinking at a temperature higher than the melting temperature of the thermoplastic resin, so that the crystallinity and the crosslinking degree of the thermoplastic resin are improved, the modified inorganic filler can be better bound in a crosslinking network of the thermoplastic resin, the bonding force between the thermoplastic resin and the modified inorganic filler is favorably improved, the pencil hardness and the toughness of the manufactured housing body are improved, and the pencil hardness and the toughness of the housing assembly 100 are improved.
When the raw material components of the housing body 10 further include one or more of a dispersant, a plasticizer, and a pigment, the step S201 further includes mixing the one or more of a dispersant, a plasticizer, and a pigment with the modified inorganic filler and the thermoplastic resin.
For the description of the modified inorganic filler and other characteristics of the thermoplastic resin, please refer to the description of the corresponding parts of the above embodiments, which are not repeated herein.
S202, performing segmented molding on the mixture to obtain the shell body; the sectional molding comprises a first section molding and a second section molding; the temperature of the first section molding is higher than the glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic resin and lower than the incipient melting temperature (T) of the thermoplastic resin ms )。
The term "incipient melting temperature" herein refers to the temperature at which a thermoplastic resin begins to melt. The term "sectional molding" in this application means that molding is performed in a plurality of sections, and at least one of the conditions of temperature, pressure, and the like of molding is different for each section. The glass transition temperature (Tg) is the temperature at which the glass state of a thermoplastic resin is transformed into a high elastic state.
Optionally, the segmented formation is a segmented embossing.
Optionally, the first section molding is compression molding, and the first section molding includes: and (3) carrying out die pressing on the mixture at the temperature and the pressure of the first-stage forming.
Alternatively, the temperature range for the first stage molding may be Tg to Tg +70 ℃, where Tg is the glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic resin. Specifically, the Tg, tg +5 ℃, tg +10 ℃, tg +15 ℃, tg +20 ℃, tg +25 ℃, tg +30 ℃, tg +35 ℃, tg +40 ℃, tg +45 ℃, tg +50 ℃, tg +55 ℃, tg +60 ℃, tg +65 ℃ and Tg +70 ℃ can be used, but not limited thereto.
Optionally, the temperature of the first stage forming ranges from Tg to Tg +40 ℃. Specifically, the temperature of the first stage molding may range from, but is not limited to, tg +5 deg.C, tg +10 deg.C, tg +15 deg.C, tg +20 deg.C, tg +25 deg.C, tg +30 deg.C, tg +35 deg.C, tg +40 deg.C, and the like. For example, when the thermoplastic resin is polyphenylene sulfide, the temperature of the first stage molding may be 120 ℃ to 160 ℃, and specifically, the temperature of the first stage molding may be, but is not limited to, 120 ℃, 125 ℃, 130 ℃, 135 ℃, 140 ℃, 145 ℃, 150 ℃, 155 ℃, 160 ℃, and the like. When the temperature of the first section is in the range of Tg to Tg +40 ℃, the thermoplastic resin can be transformed from a glass state to a high elastic state to be softened, and adjacent thermoplastic resin molecules are deformed to be bonded, so that the adhesive force between the thermoplastic resin and the modified inorganic filler is increased. When the temperature of the first stage molding is lower than Tg, the thermoplastic resin is still in a glass state, and it is difficult to cause adhesion between thermoplastic resin particles even under high pressure, which is not favorable for improving the pencil hardness and toughness of the produced housing body. When the temperature of the first stage molding is higher than Tg +40 ℃, it is not favorable to maintain the original shape and size under high pressure.
Optionally, the first section molding pressure ranges from 100Mpa to 200Mpa; specifically, it may be, but not limited to, 100MPa, 110MPa, 120MPa, 140MPa, 150MPa, 160MPa, 170MPa, 180MPa, 190MPa, 200MPa, etc. When the pressure of the first stage molding is in this range, the densification between the thermoplastic resin and the modified inorganic filler can be enhanced, which helps to eliminate pores in the mixed system of the thermoplastic resin and the modified inorganic filler and to enhance the force acting between the thermoplastic resin and the modified inorganic filler. The pressure of the first section forming is too low, the mould blank is difficult to compact, and the forming is not facilitated, and when the pressure of the first section forming is too high, the requirement on equipment is too strict, and the operation risk coefficient is increased.
Optionally, the first stage molding time ranges from 30min to 2h, and specifically, may be, but is not limited to, 30min, 45min, 60min, 75min, 90min, 105min, 120min, and the like. When the time of the first-stage molding is less than 30min, the molecules of the thermoplastic resin have insufficient time to deform, which is not beneficial to the adhesion between the thermoplastic resin and the modified inorganic filler and the molding of the thermoplastic resin, and when the molding time is more than 2h, the thermoplastic resin and the modified inorganic filler are preformed, and the molding is continuously carried out at the temperature and the pressure of the first-stage molding, so that the influence on the molding of the thermoplastic resin and the modified inorganic filler is very small.
The preparation method of the shell assembly provided by the embodiment of the application adopts the sectional molding, and the temperature of the first-section molding is higher than the glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic resin and lower than the incipient melting temperature of the thermoplastic resin. In the process of molding the shell component by the segmented molding, the thermoplastic resin molecular chains are deformed for more time and move, so that the thermoplastic resin molecular chains are wound for enough time to form a three-dimensional reticular structure, and the shell component is more suitable for preparing a modified inorganic filler and thermoplastic resin mixed system with the weight content of the modified inorganic filler being higher than 80%, has better ceramic warm and moist hand feeling and glossiness, and is light in weight and higher in pencil hardness and toughness.
In some embodiments, the second section is formed by compression molding. The second stage of forming includes: and carrying out die pressing at the temperature of the second-stage forming and the pressure of the second forming.
Optionally, the temperature at which the second section is formed is higher than the temperature at which the first section is formed. Therefore, the molecular chains of the thermoplastic resin have better fluidity during the second-stage molding, and the formation of a three-dimensional network structure is more facilitated.
Optionally, the second section molding temperature is in the range of the initial melting temperature (T) of the thermoplastic resin ms ) To the final melting temperature (T) of the thermoplastic resin me ) 20 ℃ above, specifically, may be, but is not limited to, T ms And T me At any temperature in between, or T me +5℃、T me +10℃、T me +15℃、T me +20 ℃ and the like. When the thermoplastic resin is in the temperature range, the thermoplastic resin starts to melt and flow, and the molecular chains of the thermoplastic resin move and are wound together to form a three-dimensional through network structure, so that the bonding force among the molecules of the thermoplastic resin and between the thermoplastic resin and the modified inorganic filler is increased, and meanwhile, the modified inorganic filler can be wrapped in the network structure formed by the thermoplastic resin, so that the pencil hardness and the toughness of the formed shell body 10 are increased. When the temperature of the second-stage molding is lower than the initial melting temperature of the thermoplastic resin, molecular chains of the thermoplastic resin are difficult to melt, the flowability is poor, the molecular chains are difficult to wind, and a three-dimensional through network structure is formed. When the temperature of the second molding is higher than T me At the temperature of +20 ℃, if the thermoplastic resin is one or more of polyphenylene sulfide, polysulfone, polyether sulfone and polyether ketone, the chain extension, crosslinking and other reactions occur among the molecular chains of the thermoplastic resin in advance, so that the fluidity of the thermoplastic resin is reduced, and the mutual winding among the molecular chains of the thermoplastic resin is not facilitated to form a three-dimensional network structure.
The term "final melting temperature" herein refers to the temperature at which the thermoplastic resin is completely melted.
For example, when the thermoplastic resin is polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), the temperature at which the second stage is molded ranges from 250 ℃ to 300 ℃; specifically, the temperature range of the second stage molding may be, but is not limited to, 250 ℃, 260 ℃, 270 ℃, 280 ℃, 290 ℃, 300 ℃ and the like.
Optionally, the second section molding pressure ranges from 20Mpa to 50Mpa; specifically, it may be, but not limited to, 20MPa, 25MPa, 30MPa, 35MPa, 40MPa, 45MPa, 50MPa, etc. In this pressure range, the thermoplastic resin molecular chains and the thermoplastic resin molecules and the modified inorganic filler can be bonded more tightly, which is favorable for improving the pencil hardness and toughness of the formed housing body 10. The second stage molding is carried out in a molten state, and when the pressure for the second stage molding is lower than 20Mpa, the shape retention is not facilitated. When the pressure for forming the second section is higher than 50Mpa, the requirement on equipment is high.
Optionally, the second section is formed for a time greater than the time for forming the first section. Therefore, when the second section is formed, the molecular chain of the thermoplastic resin has enough time to move and wind, and the formation of a three-dimensional network is facilitated.
Alternatively, the second stage molding time may range from 0.5h to 5h, and specifically, may be, but is not limited to, 0.5h, 1h, 1.5h, 2h, 2.5h, 3h, 3.5h, 4h, 4.5h, 5h, and the like. If the third-stage molding time is too short, there is not enough time for movement between the thermoplastic resin molecular chains to affect the formation of the three-dimensional network structure, so that the performance of the subsequently manufactured shell body 10 is affected, and if the third-stage molding time is too long, the effect on the manufactured shell body 10 is not changed greatly, but the requirement on equipment is high.
In some embodiments, after the housing body 10 is manufactured, the housing assembly 10 is machined by Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining, and surface grinding and polishing are performed to obtain the housing assembly 100 conforming to the specifications of the electronic device.
In the process of molding the shell assembly 100 by high-temperature and high-pressure segmentation, the thermoplastic resin molecular chains are deformed for more time and move, so that the thermoplastic resin molecular chains are wound for sufficient time to form a three-dimensional network structure, and meanwhile, the high pressure enables densification among the thermoplastic resin molecular chains, between the thermoplastic resin molecular chains and the modified inorganic filler and between the modified inorganic filler to be more realized, so that the shell assembly is more suitable for a system with the weight content of the modified inorganic filler higher than 80 percent, and the prepared shell body 10 has better ceramic warm-moist hand feeling and glossiness, is lighter in weight and has higher pencil hardness and toughness, so that the prepared shell assembly 100 has better ceramic warm-moist hand feeling and glossiness, and is light in weight and higher in pencil hardness and toughness.
In some embodiments, when the thermoplastic resin is one or more of polyphenylene sulfide, polysulfone, polyethersulfone, or polyetherketone, the step-molding further comprises a step of third step-molding, the third step-molding being compression molding.
Alternatively, the third stage forming is carried out in an air or oxygen atmosphere. Specifically, the third stage forming includes: and carrying out die pressing in air or oxygen atmosphere at the temperature and the pressure of the third-stage forming.
Optionally, the temperature at which the third section is formed is higher than the temperature at which the second section is formed. Thus, when the thermoplastic resin molecular chains are formed in the third section, a chain extension reaction and a crosslinking reaction can be performed, so that the degree of crosslinking of the three-dimensional network structure is increased, and the hardness and toughness of the prepared shell body 10 are improved.
Optionally, the temperature of the third stage molding is in the range of the final melting temperature (T) of the thermoplastic resin me ) Above 30 ℃ to the final melting temperature (T) of the thermoplastic resin me ) Above 70 ℃. In other words, the temperature range of the third stage forming is T me +30 ℃ to T me +70 ℃; specifically, the temperature of the third stage forming may be, but is not limited to, T me +30℃、T me +35℃、T me +40℃、T me +45℃、T me +50℃、T me +55℃、T me +60℃、T me +65℃、T me +70 ℃ and the like. When the temperature is within this range, a chain extension reaction occurs between molecules of the thermoplastic resin (e.g., polyphenylene sulfide), and in addition, an oxidative crosslinking reaction occurs between molecules of the thermoplastic resin under the action of oxygen, thereby increasing the molecular weight and the degree of crosslinking of the thermoplastic resin, and further increasing the pencil hardness and toughness of the manufactured case assembly 10. At the same time, the user can select the desired position,the forming temperature of the third section is controlled to be T me Below +70 ℃, the occurrence of the chain extension reaction and the crosslinking reaction is not too fast, so that the crosslinking degree is controlled within a certain range, the crystallinity and the crosslinking degree of the thermoplastic resin in the formed shell body 10 are effectively controlled, and the toughness of the shell body 10 is not reduced due to too high crosslinking degree.
Taking the thermoplastic resin as polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) as an example, when the thermoplastic resin is polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), the temperature for forming the third section ranges from 320 ℃ to 360 ℃; specifically, it may be, but not limited to, 320 ℃, 325 ℃, 330 ℃, 335 ℃, 340 ℃, 345 ℃, 350 ℃, 360 ℃ or the like. At this time, the main chemical reaction equation occurring between the molecular chains of the thermoplastic resin is as follows:
Figure BDA0003025535690000121
optionally, the third-stage forming pressure is 50Mpa to 100Mpa; specifically, it may be, but not limited to, 50MPa, 55MPa, 60MPa, 65MPa, 70MPa, 75MPa, 80MPa, 85MPa, 90MPa, 100MPa, etc. When the pressure of the third-stage molding is within this range, the time movement of the thermoplastic resin molecular chains can be accelerated, so that the combination between the thermoplastic resin molecular chains and between the thermoplastic resin molecules and the modified inorganic filler is further densified, which is beneficial to further improving the pencil hardness and toughness of the manufactured casing body 10, thereby improving the pencil hardness and toughness of the manufactured casing assembly 100. When the pressure for the third stage molding is less than 50Mpa, the shape retention of the thermoplastic resin and the modified inorganic filler is not facilitated, and when it is more than 100Mpa, the contribution to molding is small, and the requirements on equipment are severe.
Alternatively, the time range of the third stage molding may be 1h to 12h, and specifically, may be, but is not limited to, 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h, 7h, 8h, 9h, 10h, 11h, 12h, and the like. The third-stage molding time is too short, the degrees of chain extension reaction and crosslinking reaction of the thermoplastic resin are too low, and the toughness of the formed shell body 10 is reduced; too long time for the third stage of molding causes too high degree of crosslinking of the thermoplastic resin, and the formed shell body has too large brittleness and insufficient toughness.
It should be understood that, when the first stage forming, the second stage forming, and the third stage forming are performed, they may be performed at a certain temperature point in their respective temperature ranges, and each stage forming may also be performed by gradually increasing the temperature in another temperature range, and when the temperature satisfies the above range, which manner is specifically adopted, and the present application is not limited specifically.

For details of the same portions of step S501 and step S502 as those of the above embodiment, please refer to the corresponding portions of the above embodiment, which are not repeated herein.

Comparative examples 3 and 4 Single temperature Press Molding
The housing assemblies of comparative examples 3 and 4 were prepared by the following steps:
1) Weighing modified alumina and polyphenylene sulfide in a weight ratio of 4:1, wherein the alumina is modified by 2wt% of silane coupling agent, the polyphenylene sulfide has a glass transition temperature of 90 ℃, an initial melting temperature of 260 ℃ and a final melting temperature of 295 ℃;
2) Mixing the modified alumina with the polyphenylene sulfide to obtain a mixture;
3) The mixture was molded at a temperature of 120 ℃ (comparative example 3) or 350 ℃ (comparative example 4) under a pressure of 150Mpa for 6 hours, respectively, to obtain a housing assembly.
The housing assemblies obtained in examples 1 to 4 and the housing assemblies obtained in comparative examples 1 and 4 were subjected to the molding condition, pencil hardness and falling ball height tests as follows:
1) And (3) testing the molding condition: whether the shape of the prepared housing assembly is complete or not is observed by taking a photograph, and the molding conditions of example 3 and comparative example 2 are shown in fig. 7 (left figure example 3, right figure comparative example 2). The molding of comparative example 4 is shown in FIG. 9.
2) And (3) testing pencil hardness: GB/T6739-1996.
3) Falling ball impact test: making the shell assembly into a flat sheet with the size of 150mm multiplied by 73mm multiplied by 0.8 mm; the samples of the above examples 1 to 4, 1 and 3 are respectively supported on a jig (four sides of the shell assembly are respectively supported by a jig with a height of 3mm, and the middle part of the shell assembly is suspended), a stainless steel ball with a weight of 32g is freely dropped onto the surface of the shell assembly to be measured from a certain height, five points of four corners and the center of the shell assembly are respectively measured, each point is measured for 5 times until the shell assembly is broken, and the height when the shell assembly is broken is the height of the dropped ball. The higher the ball drop height, the more ductile the housing assembly is and the less likely it will fracture.
4) Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM): the surface morphology of example 1 and comparative example 3 was examined by scanning electron microscopy and the results are shown in fig. 8 (left panel example 1, right panel comparative example 3).
The specific test results of examples 1 to 4, comparative example 1, and comparative example 2 are shown in table 1, fig. 7, and fig. 8 below.
Fig. 7 is a photograph showing the case units obtained in example 3 (left view in fig. 7) and comparative example 2 (right view in fig. 7), and it can be seen from fig. 7 that the case units obtained by the case unit preparation method of the present application can be well molded when the modified alumina content is 90% by weight, whereas the case units obtained by the conventional injection molding method cannot be molded into complete shapes when the modified alumina content is 90% by weight. The housing assembly 100 manufactured by the method of the embodiment of the present application is more suitable for the housing assembly 100 in which the content of the modified inorganic filler is higher than 80%, even higher than 90%, and the housing assembly 100 having better ceramic hand feeling and glossiness, higher hardness, and better toughness can be manufactured.
As can be seen from table 1 below, the housing assembly prepared by the preparation method of the present application has a gradually increased pencil hardness and a gradually decreased ball drop height as the content of the modified alumina increases. In addition, the housing assemblies prepared in examples 1 to 4 by the method of the present application can be prepared to have a higher weight part of modified alumina than the conventional injection molding method in comparative examples 1 and 2, so that the housing assembly having a higher modified inorganic filler can be prepared, and the housing assembly having a higher pencil hardness, a milder ceramic texture and a ceramic gloss can be prepared on the premise of satisfying the toughness requirement of the housing.
As can be seen from table 1, the shell assembly obtained by three-stage compression molding has a higher ball drop height and thus better toughness than that obtained by single-temperature compression molding. Fig. 8 is a scanning electron microscope image of the housing assemblies prepared in example 1 (left image in fig. 8) and comparative example 3 (right image in fig. 8), and as shown in fig. 8, the surface appearance of the housing assembly prepared in example 1 is denser than that of the housing assembly prepared in comparative example 3, which indicates that the housing assembly prepared in example 1 has better bonding performance between polyphenylene sulfide and modified alumina, and further indicates that the housing assembly prepared by three-stage compression molding has better toughness and pencil hardness than the housing assembly prepared by single-temperature compression molding.
As can be seen from fig. 9, in comparative example 4, the case assembly having a regular shape could not be obtained by performing the one-temperature press molding in a molten state of the thermoplastic resin. After mixing the thermoplastic resin and the modified inorganic filler, the mixture is directly subjected to compression molding at a temperature higher than the melting temperature and under a high pressure, the thermoplastic resin and the modified inorganic filler are not preformed, and a three-dimensional network structure is not formed in the thermoplastic resin, so that the thermoplastic resin is rapidly deformed to a great extent, and a sample with an expected shape and size cannot be obtained.
