Menetelmä polytetrafluorieteeni-yhdiatelmäkappaieen valmistamiseksi Tämä keksintö koskee menetelmää uuden yhdistelmä-kappaleen valmistamiseksi solu-polytetrafluorieteenistä.
5 Polytetrafluorieteeni (jäljempänä PTFE) omaa erinomaisen lämmönkestävyyden, kemiallisen kestävyyden, eristysomainaisuudet, takertumattomuuden ja itsevoitelu-vuuden. Tätä polymeeriä käytetään laajalti lääketieteessä, teollisuudessa ja vapaa-ajan tuotteissa.
10 Eräs viimeaikainen keksintö (US-patenttijulkaisu 3 953 566) tar joaa menetelmän voimakkaasti huokoisten, kuitenkin lujien PTFE-muotokappaleiden valmistamiseksi. Tämä menetelmä käsittää voimakkaasti kiteisen, jauhemaisen PTFE:n sekoittamisen nestemäisen voiteluaineen 15 kanssa; tämän seoksen suulakepuristamisen, jolloin suulakkeella voi olla haluttu poikkileikkaus sekä välittömästi muotokappaleen vaahdotuksen yhdessä tai useammassa suunnassa, nopeudella yli 10 % sekunnissa.
Tällä menetelmällä valmistetut tuotteet on 20 hyväksytty käyttöön laajalti teollisuudessa, lääketieteessä, sähkötekniikassa ja vaatetusalalla. Menetelmä on jonkin verran rajoittunut sikäli, että se ei ole helposti sovellettavissa suurten, poikkileikkaukseltaan monimutkaisten kappaleiden valmistukseen. Tällaisten 25 kappaleiden tarvetta esiintyy esimerkiksi teollisen suodatuksen alalla ja suurten verisuonten kirurgiassa. Vaikkakin suuria yhdistelmäkappaleitä voidaan valmistaa liittämällä yhteen pienempiä kappaleita tavanomaisilla menetelmillä, kuten ompelemalla, hitsaamalla tai liimaa-30 maila, on tällaisissa kappaleissa epäjatkuvuutta saumassa. Monissa sovellutuksissa tämä ei synnytä vakavia ongelmia, kun taas toisissa, kuten suodatuksessa ja kehon osien korvaamisessa, on äärimmäisen tärkeää, että kappaleen rakenne on kauttaaltaan mahdollisimman 2 72920 yhtenäinen. Jos suurten kappaleiden tuottamiseen käytetään hitsausta tai liimausta, syntyy tiivis ei-huokoinen alue. Toisaalta ompelu voi synnyttää alueita, joissa huokoisuus on suurempi kuin kappaleen 5 muissa osissa. On huomattu, että kyhmyjen ja säikeiden muodostama hienorakenne, joka esiintyy US-patentti-julkaisun 3 953 5&6 mukaisesti valmistetuissa tuotteissa, on erityisen toivottava sekä suodatusväliaineena että veren ja muiden kehon nesteiden kanssa kosketuksiin 10 joutuvana pintana. Olisi siten toivottavaa valmistaa monimutkaisia yhdistelmäinuoto j a liittämällä solu-PTFE:stä valmistettuja kappaleita, joilla on tämä hienorakenne, sillä tavoin, että hienorakenne säilyy olennaisesti keskeytymättömänä yli liitoksen 15 t ai s auman .
Tämän keksinnön kohteena on menetelmä sellaisen PTFB-yhdistelmämuotokappaleen valmistamiseksi, jossa on käy-tännöllisesti keskeytymätön, säikeiden yhdistämien kyhmyjen muodostama hienorakenne liitoksen yli. Tällainen kap-20 pale valmistetaan liittämällä yhteen p ienempikoko ist en kap paleiden segmenttejä. Näitä pienempiä segmenttejä pidetään yhdessä ja niiden lämpötila nostetaan yli kidesulamispisteen. Niiden annetaan sitten jäähtyä huoneen lämpötilaan kappaleen käsittelyn helpottamiseksi.
25 Kuvio 1 on kaavamainen esitys esillä olevan keksinnön eräästä sovellutusmuodo st a.
Kuvio 2 - 1+(b ) ovat elektronimikroskooppivalokuvia keksinnön mukaisesti valmistetun putken eri pinnoista.
PTFE:n liittäminen PTFB:iin pitämällä osat kosketuk-30 sessa mekaanisesti ja kuumentamalla niitä yli PTFE:n kidesulamispisteen on tunnettua. Tästä on kuitenkin yleisesti tuloksena kiinteä, ei-huokoinen sauma.
3 72920
Esillä oleva keksintö on tunnetun menetelmän muunnos sellaisen tuotteen valmistamiseksi, jossa molemmissa osissa esiintyvä kyhmy-säie-hienorakenne säilytetään käytännöllisesti katsoen keskeytymättömänä yli sauman. Tulokin sena on saumaton tuote. Tässä yhteydessä sanonnalla "reunat" tarkoitetaan solu-PTFE-kappaleen sitä osaa, joka on tarkoitus liittää,ja "sauma" tarkoittaa näin liitettyä aluetta. Kappaleet tarkoittavat mitä tahansa poikki-leikkausmuotoa, esim. putkea, tankoa, levyä tai segmenttiä. 10 PTFE-ainesta on saatavana monissa muodoissa, käsittäen levyt, tangot ja putket, W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc.-lta. Liitettävät kappaleet leikataan tarvittavaan kokoon. On huolehdittava siitä, että liitettävät reunat ovat puhtaat, so. eivät risaiset eivätkä likaiset.
15 Reunat asetetaan sitten tiukasti lähekkäin, so. koskettamaan toisiaan.
Jos solu-PTFE:ä kuumennetaan yli kidesulamispis-teensä vapaassa tilassa, aineella on taipumus kutistua ja sulautua kiinteäksi massaksi. Jotta varmistettaisiin 20 yhteenliitettävien kappaleiden pysyminen kosketuksessa niitä kuumennettaessa, on tämän vuoksi käytettävä mekaanisia keinoja niiden pitämiseksi tällä tavalla kosketuksessa.
Esimerkiksi voidaan, kuten kuviossa 1 on esitetty, 25 tehdä iso putki levyistä tai useista pienempien putkien leikkeistä. Levyt 1+ siistitään reunoiltaan 6(a) ja 6(b) sen varmistamiseksi, että nämä reunat ovat puhtaat, so. eivät risaiset eivätkä likaiset. Levyt t asetetaan sitten tuurnan 2 ympärille. Kunkin levyn k reunat 6(a) 30 ja 6(b) asetetaan tiiviisti viereisen levyn reunoja b(a) ja 6(b) vasten. Levyjen päät A ja B kiinnitetään näissä kohdissa tuurnaan. Tämä voidaan suorittaa monilla tavoilla, kuten letkupuristimilla tai sitomalla levyt tuurnaan langalla. Tällaisella putken kiinnittämisellä 35 on tarkoitus estää PTFE:n pituussuuntainen vetäytyminen kuumennettaessa.
k 72920
Kaistale vaahdotettua PTFE-kalvoa, noin 19 mm leveä, jonka matriisivetolujuus pitkittäissuunnassa on noin i+ 80 MPa, kierretään levyjen päälle tuurnalle ja kiinnitetään tuurnan päässä, niin ettei se pääse 5 kiertymään auki. Kuumennettaessa tämä pidättävä kalvo kutistuu kohdistaen levyihin paineen ja pitäen reunat 6(a) ja 6(b) tiiviissä kosketuksessa. Käyttökelpoista kalvoa on saatavissa nimellä GORE-TEX vaahdotettuna säiöksenä W.L. Gore & Associates, Inc:lta, P.O. Box 1220, 10 Elkton, Maryland 29121. Vaikkakin käärintä solu-PTFE-kalvolla on edullinen tapa mekaanisesti pidättää ja pitää levyjen reunat kosketuksessa kuumennuksen aikana, voidaan muitakin keinoja käyttää.
Tärkeätä on, että sintrauksen aikana täytyy olla 15 saumaan kohtisuorasti vaikuttava voima. Vetäytyes sään kokoon synnyttää putken ympäri kiedottu kalvo tarvittavan voiman.
Käärityn putken kuumentaminen voidaan suorittaa suolahauteessa,ilmauunissa, säteilyuunissa tai muulla 20 tavoin. Sopiva suolahaude voi olla natriumnitriitin ja -nitraatin sula seos, jota pidetään segmenttien kidesulamispisteen ylittävässä lämpötilassa. Putki poistetaan sitten ja sen annetaan jäähtyä, edelleenkin pidätettynä. Aika kidesulamispisteen ylittävässä lämpö-25 tilassa vaihtelee, riippuen käytettävästä ainemäärästä ja polymeerin ominaisuuksista. Optimiliitoksen edellyttämä tarkka aika riippuu useista tekijöistä, kuten ainesmäärästä ja valmistettavan kappaleen muodosta.
Tämä aika on kuitenkin helposti määritetty pienellä 30 kokeilulla. Seuraavan esimerkin on tarkoitus valaista eikä rajoittaa esillä olevaa keksintöä.
Menettelytapaa voidaan käyttää useisiin eri muotoihin ja kokoihin, milloin on tärkeää säilyttää käytännöllisesti katsoen keskeytymätön hienorakenne minkä tahansa 35 liitoslinjan tai sauman yli.
5 72920 ESIMERKKI 1
Kolme 6,5 cm:n pituista 120°:n segmenttiä leikattiin sisähalkaisijaltaan 20 mm:n putkista, jotka oli valmistettu US-patenttijulkaisun 3 953 566 mukaisesti.
5 Käytetty polymeeri oli Fluon 123, joka on hieno jauhe mainen PTFE, saatavissa ICI America:lta. Nämä segmentit siistittiin huolellisesti, puskuliitettäviksi tarkoitettujen reunojen puhtauden varmistamiseksi. Segmentit asetettiin sitten huolellisesti sileän,ulkohalkaisijal-10 taan 20 mm olevan ruostumattoman teräsputken ympärille.
Segmentit järjestettiin siten, että ne tulivat tarkasti kiinni toisiinsa. Tämän jälkeen ne käärittiin 19 mm leveällä solu-PTFE-kalvolla, jonka matriisivetolujuus oli noin 480 MPa ja joka oli valmistettu US-patentin 15 3 962 153 mukaisesti.
Tuurna asetettiin sitten ilmauuniin 3Ö0°C:n lämpötilaan 12 minuutiksi. Uunista poistamisen jälkeen tuurnan annettiin jäähtyä huoneen lämpötilaan ja muodostunut PTFE-putki pujotettiin varovasti pois tuurnalta.
20 Kokeen tarkoitusta silmällä pitäen poistettiin käärintäkalvo varovasti putkelta rakenteen valokuvaamiseksi saumakohdassa.
Kuvio 2 on vinosti otettu elektronimikroskooppi-kuva yhdestä, esimerkissä 1 valmistetusta saumasta. Ylä-25 osa 10 on topografinen kuvanto putken sisäpinnasta. Ala osa 12 on poikkileikkauskuvanto putkesta. Kuviossa 2 kulkee sauma suunnassa X -* Y. Suurennus on 1 4 6-kertain en .
Kuvio 3(a) on elektronimikroskooppikuva esimerkissä 1 valmistetun putken sisäpinnasta. Sauma kulkee 30 suunnassa X -» Y. Suurennus on 122-kertainen. Kuvio 3(h) on elektronimikroskooppikuva kuvioon 3(a) rajatusta alueesta. Sauma kulkee suunnassa X-► Y ja suurennus on 610-kertainen.
Kuvio 4(a) on elektronimikroskooppikuva esimerkis-35 sä 1 valmistetun putken ulkopinnasta kalvon poistamisen jälkeen. Sauma kulkee suunnassa X -» Y ja suurennus on 6 72920 90-kertainen. Kuvio U(b) on elektronimikroskooppikuva kuvioon 4(a) rajatusta alueesta. Sauma kulkee suunnassa X -* Y ja suurennus on 4 50-kertainen .
Näistä elektronimikroskooppikuvista on yllättävää 5 havaita, että kyhmy-säiehienorakenne on käytännöllisesti katsoen keskeytymätön yli sauman. Vaikkakin tätä keksintöä valaisemaan käytettiin esimerkkiä pienessä mitassa, voidaan tekniikka helposti laajentaa käsittämään suuret putket, joiden halkaisija on useita 10 tuumia. Vastaavasti tekniikkaa voidaan käyttää useiden erilaisten muotojen yhteydessä, eikä se rajoitu putkimaisiin poikkileikkauksiin. Esimerkiksi voitaisiin yhteenliittää levyjä yksisuuntaisesti vaahdotetusta PTFErstä, jonka paksuus on noin 0,1 mm... yli 2,5 mm.
15 seuraavalla tavalla. Pidätetään PTFE-levyt niiden vaah- dotussuunnassa, asetetaan ne reunat vastakkain 1,5 mm paksuisten s il ikonikumilevyjen (durometrikovuus 60) väliin (kummallekin puolelle PTFE:ä kaksi kumilevyä, jotka ovat hieman erillään toisistaan; noin 0,25 mm:n rako, 20 joka vastaa saumaa PTFE-1evyissä ) , ja asetetaan PTFE- ja kumilevyt puristimeen, jonka laatat on kuumennettu noin 380°C:n lämpötilaan. Puristin voidaan sulkea, hyvin pienen paineen kohdistamiseksi kumin päällä oleviin levyihin. Tämä synnyttää tarvittavan kohtisuoran 25 voiman saumaan, tällä kertaa tasomuodossa. Sopivan ajan, likimääräisesti 15 minuutin, kuluttua voidaan puristimen sähkökuument, imet kytkeä pois ja jäähdyttää laatat paineilmavirralla. Laattojen jäähdyttyä huoneen lämpötilaan voidaan paine laskea ja levyt poistaa.
