Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing an electrical insulating board using mica as a base material. [Prior Art] An electrically insulating board is made of a laminated board with excellent electrically insulating performance. The electrical insulating board made from this laminate is made by stacking multiple sheets of prepreg made by impregnating a base material such as paper with thermosetting resin varnish and drying it, then heating and pressing it. Manufactured by laminated molding.
Here, the electrical insulation performance of the electrical insulation board is greatly influenced by the resin impregnated into the base material, and is also greatly influenced by the base material itself. Therefore, in addition to conventionally using paper as a base material, glass cloth made of woven or non-woven glass fibers has been used as a base material, especially for laminates that require high electrical insulation performance. There is. However, in recent years, with the high density packaging of electronic components, even higher electrical insulation performance has been required, and mica, or mica, has been developed as a base material that can satisfy such high electrical insulation performance. It is attracting attention for its use. Such mica is provided in the form of small scale-like flakes, and when mica is used as a base material, mica paper is produced by making a slurry in which mica scales are dispersed and aggregating the mica scales. It is conceivable to create a mica paper and use this mica paper as a base material. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] At present, when preparing a prepreg by impregnating a base material with a thermosetting resin varnish or the like and drying it, currently a long base material is continuously The base material is impregnated with the thermosetting resin varnish by passing it through the thermosetting resin varnish and immersing it in the thermosetting resin varnish while feeding it, and then passing it through a dryer while continuously feeding it and heating it. A common manufacturing method is to dry the thermosetting resin varnish using a drying process, and then cut it into regular lengths.This continuous process increases the productivity of prepreg. We have reached the point where we can improve our performance. However, when using mica paper as a base material, when impregnating the mica paper with thermosetting resin varnish, etc., if the mica paper is immersed in the thermosetting resin varnish, the thermosetting resin will be absorbed into the mica paper. As the resin varnish penetrates, the aggregated mica scales are separated,
This will result in the mica paper not being able to maintain its paper-like form, and tension will be applied to the mica paper while it is immersed in thermosetting resin varnish and sent continuously to the dryer. The mica paper, whose mica scales have been separated by the penetration of the curable resin varnish, cannot withstand this tension and breaks. Therefore, when mica paper is used as a base material, a long mica paper is continuously fed and dipped in thermosetting resin varnish, and then a mica paper impregnated with thermosetting resin varnish is continuously fed. For example, it is not possible to adopt a construction method in which the mica paper is cut into regular lengths and then passed through a dryer. Prepregs have to be made by hand rather than in a continuous process, which involves impregnating them with a resin varnish and then drying the mica paper impregnated with this thermosetting resin varnish one sheet at a time, making it very difficult to produce. This means that they have no choice but to rely on low quality work. [Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has been made for the purpose of solving the above-mentioned problems, and the method for manufacturing an electrically insulating board according to the present invention includes slurry in which mica scales are dispersed. By filtering the paper onto the surface of a net and transferring it to the surface of a reinforcing sheet into which the resin liquid is permeated, a mica sheet is created in which mica paper made of mica scales and a reinforcing sheet are laminated. , a mica sheet base material prepreg is created by impregnating this mica sheet with a thermosetting resin liquid and drying, and a plurality of mica sheet base material prepregs are stacked and molded under heat and pressure. It is something to do. In the electrical insulating board of the present invention, the base material is mica paper in which mica scales are assembled, and it has good electrical properties due to the excellent electrical insulation properties of mica. Furthermore, in the method for manufacturing an electrical insulating board of the present invention, even when mica paper is impregnated with thermosetting resin varnish, the mica paper can maintain its shape and tension as paper due to the reinforcing effect of the reinforcing sheet. When using mica paper as a base material for electrical insulating boards, it is possible to create prepreg by impregnating it with a thermosetting resin liquid and drying it in a continuous process. The present invention will be explained in detail below. As mica (mica), either natural mica or synthetic mica can be used, and the types and chemical compositions of mica are shown in Table 1, although they are not particularly limited. These materials can be used alone or in combination.

[Table] This mica is used in the form of pulverized scales, and the particles are preferably adjusted to 50 meshes or less, preferably 100 meshes or less. If the particle size exceeds 50 meshes, the surface of the mica paper produced by aggregating mica scales may become rough. Mica paper can be made by assembling mica scales without using an adhesive, but in the present invention, a reinforcing sheet is laminated on the surface of this mica paper, and the mica paper is used as a reinforcing sheet. It is used as a reinforced mica sheet. The reinforcing sheet should be a fibrous material that has the ability to penetrate the resin liquid so as not to impede the impregnation of the thermosetting resin liquid into the mica paper when the mica sheet is used as a base material for an electrical insulating board. For example, glass cloth made of paper or glass fiber woven cloth or non-woven cloth, cloth made of other natural fibers or synthetic fibers, asbestos cloth, etc. can be used. Furthermore, when reinforcing the mica paper 1 with the reinforcing sheet 2 to create the mica sheet 3, in addition to laminating the reinforcing sheet 2 on one side of the mica paper 1 as shown in FIG. The reinforcing sheet 2 may be laminated on both sides of the mica paper 1 as shown in Figure b, or it may be reinforced by sandwiching the reinforcing sheet 2 between the surfaces of two mica papers 1 and 1 as shown in Figure 2 c. The sheets 2 may be stacked. Furthermore, multiple sheets of mica paper 1
It is also possible to create a multilayered mica sheet 3 by alternately laminating a plurality of reinforcing sheets 2 and mica paper 1, and in short, the combination of mica paper 1 and reinforcing sheet 2 is not limited in any way and is arbitrary. The reinforcing sheet 2 may be of any thickness as long as it has sufficient thickness to reinforce the mica paper 1. Here, when creating the mica sheet 3 by laminating the mica paper 1 and the reinforcing sheet 2,
It is preferable to laminate the mica paper 1 and the reinforcing sheet 2 without using an adhesive. That is, if the mica paper 1 and reinforcing sheet 2 are bonded and laminated using an adhesive, the insulation performance of the electrical insulating board may be affected by the type of adhesive. Therefore, in manufacturing the mica sheet 3, by making an aqueous slurry of mica scales, the mica paper 1 is assembled by assembling the mica scales, and at the same time, it is laminated with the reinforcing sheet 2, thereby eliminating the need for adhesive. It is recommended that the layers be laminated in a uniform manner. FIG. 3 shows an example of a papermaking apparatus. A slurry 15 in which paper pulp or fiber material such as glass fiber is dispersed in water is supplied to a vat 10, and this slurry 15 is filtered on the surface of a circular screen 11. The fibrous material remains on the surface of the circular screen 11 during papermaking, and the fibrous material layer 16 is transferred onto the surface of the endless strip-shaped felt 12. Further, a slurry 17 in which mica scales are dispersed in water is supplied to the vat 13, and this slurry 17 is filtered on the surface of the round screen 14, and the mica scales remain on the surface of the round screen 14 to form paper. The paper-made layer 18 is a paper-made layer 1 of fibrous material attached to the surface of the felt 12.
transferred to the surface of 6. In this way, as shown in FIG. 4, a paper sheet 19 in which a paper layer 16 of fiber material and a paper layer 18 of mica scales are laminated is attached to the surface of the felt 12, and the paper sheet 19 is fed as the felt 12 runs. , and papermaking sheet 1
9 is peeled from the felt 12, dehydrated by pressing with a roll or the like, further dried with a drier or the like, and then rolled up to form the mica paper 1 and fibers in which the paper-formed layer 18 of mica scales has been dried. It is possible to obtain the mica sheet 3 in which the paper-formed layer 16 of the material is laminated with the dried reinforcing sheet 2. In this way, since the mica paper 1 and the reinforcing sheet 2 are laminated during papermaking, the mica paper 1 and the reinforcing sheet 2 can be laminated and integrated without using an adhesive.
This means that it will be possible to manufacture
The apparatus shown in FIG. 3 can produce the mica sheet 3 shown in FIG. By using a pair of vats 13 for supplying a slurry 17 of mica scales, the mica sheet 3 shown in FIG. 2c can be manufactured. In addition, in the apparatus shown in FIG. 3, the mica paper 1 and the reinforcing sheet 2 are laminated at the time of papermaking, but in the apparatus shown in FIG. At the same time, a long reinforcing sheet 2 is supplied, and a circular net 14 is placed in a vat 13 to which a slurry 17 of mica scales is supplied.
By forming a paper layer 18 of mica scales and transferring the paper layer 18 of mica scales onto the surface of the reinforcing sheet 2, and thus laminating the paper layer 18 of mica scales on the surface of the reinforcing sheet 2, The laminated sheet 20 prepared as shown in Fig. 6 was dehydrated by pressing with a roll or the like, further dried with a drier or the like, and then rolled up to dry the paper layer 18 of mica scales. A mica sheet 3 in which a mica paper 1 and a reinforcing sheet 2 are laminated can be obtained. Even in this case, since the mica paper 1 and the reinforcing sheet 2 are laminated during papermaking, the mica paper 1 and the reinforcing sheet 2 are laminated and integrated without using an adhesive. This means that it will be possible to manufacture In the device shown in Figure 5, the second
The mica sheet 3 shown in FIG. Then, the mica sheet 3 shown in Fig. 2b was added to the felt 1.
2, a reinforcing sheet 2 is laminated on the surface of the reinforcing sheet 2, and a paper layer 18 of mica scales is further attached to the surface of the reinforcing sheet 2. By laminating them, the mica sheets 3 shown in FIG. 2c can be obtained. Although FIGS. 3 and 5 show a circular wire-type papermaking apparatus, by changing the bats 10 and 13 to special homers and the circular wires 11 and 14 to Fourdrinier, the Fourdrinier-type papermaking apparatus can be modified. You can also use When manufacturing an electrical insulating board using the mica sheet 3 manufactured by laminating the mica paper 1 and the reinforcing sheet 2 as described above as a base material, the prepreg 5 is first formed using the mica sheet 3. create. FIG. 7 shows an example of an apparatus for producing prepreg 5. First, a long mica sheet 3
The mica sheet 3 is continuously fed out and immersed in the thermosetting resin liquid 4 to impregnate the inside of the mica sheet 3 with the thermosetting resin liquid 4. Here, thermosetting resin liquid 4
As a varnish, any thermosetting resin varnish such as epoxy resin, phenol resin, urea resin, melamine resin, unsaturated polyester resin, polyimide resin, bismaleimide/triazine resin, phenol/aralkyl resin, etc., may be used alone or in combination of two or more. It can be used as Then, when the mica sheet 3 is immersed in the thermosetting resin liquid 4, the thermosetting resin liquid 4 penetrates into the mica paper 1 either directly into the mica paper 1 or through the reinforcing sheet 2 formed to have liquid permeability. At this time, the penetration of the thermosetting resin liquid 4 into the mica paper 1 weakens the agglomeration force of the mica scales within the mica paper 1, but the mica paper 1 The aggregation force of the mica scales is increased by the lamination, and there is no fear that the mica paper 1 will lose its paper form due to penetration of the thermosetting resin liquid 4. The mica sheet 3 impregnated with the thermosetting resin liquid 4 in this manner is continuously fed and introduced into a dryer 21 such as an oven. The mica sheet 3 impregnated with the thermosetting resin liquid 4 is dried in a dryer 21.
Tension is applied to the mica sheet 3 when the mica sheet 3 is sent to the paper, but the mica paper 1 whose agglomeration force of the mica scales is weakened by being impregnated with the thermosetting resin liquid 4 is as described above. It is reinforced by the reinforcing sheet 2, and this tension can be received by the reinforcing sheet 2, so that it is possible to prevent the mica paper 1 from tearing and causing damage to the mica sheet 3. Then, the mica sheet 3 is heated by passing it through the dryer 21, and the thermosetting resin impregnated in the mica sheet 3 is dried and semi-cured, thereby obtaining the prepreg 5 using the mica sheet 3 as a base material. can. This prepreg 5 is further cut into predetermined dimensions by a cutting device 22. Next, a prepreg 5 having the mica sheet 3 formed to a predetermined size as a base material is prepared as shown in FIG. 1a.
By stacking the required number of mica sheets 3 and placing them between hot platens and applying heat and pressure to perform lamination molding, the resin in the prepreg 5 melts and hardens, and the plurality of mica sheets 3 are laminated and bonded. A laminate plate as an integrated electrically insulating plate A can be obtained as shown in FIG. 1b. Here, in creating the mica sheet 3, several examples of combinations of the mica paper 1 and the reinforcing sheet 2 are shown in FIGS. 2a, b, and c. A plurality of sheets are laminated using only the prepreg 5 having the mica sheet 3 as a base material. In addition, as shown in FIG. 8a, it is possible to laminate a plurality of prepregs using only the mica sheet 3 of FIG. 2b as a base material, and as shown in FIG. It is also possible to laminate a plurality of prepregs 5 using only the mica sheet 3 as a base material. Furthermore, in addition to using only the prepregs 5 of the same type of mica sheet 3 as shown above, prepregs 5 of different types of mica sheets 3 can also be used in combination. Figure 9a
9 shows the use of the prepreg 5 of the mica sheets 3 of FIGS. 2a and 2b in combination, and FIG. 9b shows the use of the prepregs 5 of the mica sheets 3 of FIGS. 2a and 2c. Fig. 9c is similar to Fig. 2b.
This shows that the prepregs 5 of the mica sheets 3 and 3 of FIG. 2c are used in combination. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 9d, the prepregs 5 of the mica sheets 3 of a, b, and c of FIG. 2 can be used in combination, respectively. In the combination shown in FIG. 9, the prepregs 5 of different types of mica sheets 3 can be laminated alternately or randomly, or in any desired manner. Since the electrically insulating plates A formed as described above are formed using the mica sheet 3 as a base material, they can have high electrically insulating properties. Furthermore, mica has a scale plate-like form, and in the mica paper 1 in the mica sheet 3, this mica is in a layered state, so that the mica paper 1 becomes in-plane isotropic and molded. There is no later warping or twisting, and the dimensional stability is excellent, so that the warping and twisting of the electrical insulating board A can be reduced and the dimensional stability can be improved. In addition, mica has low hardness, which makes post-processing of the electrical insulating board A easier. For example, when drilling through-holes, it is possible to suppress heat generation to a small level and reduce the occurrence of smear. It is possible to increase the reliability of [Example] Next, the present invention will be specifically explained using Examples.

[Table] As shown in Table 5, for each example using mica sheet as the base material, comparisons with paper and glass base materials can be seen in the volume resistivity and surface resistivity items. It is confirmed that the electrical insulation properties are significantly improved compared to the example. Furthermore, as can be seen in the items of dielectric constant and dielectric loss tangent related to high frequency characteristics, it is confirmed that the characteristics of each example are improved over those of each comparative example. Furthermore, it is confirmed that each Example is superior to each Comparative Example in terms of water absorption. [Effects of the Invention] As described above, the present invention applies a thermosetting resin liquid to a mica sheet formed by laminating a reinforcing sheet into which a resin liquid is permeated on the surface of a mica paper in which mica scales are assembled. A mica sheet base prepreg is created by impregnating and drying, and multiple mica sheet base prepregs are stacked and molded under heat and pressure, so it is reinforced with a reinforcing sheet. Mica paper can be used as a base material for electrically insulating boards, and the excellent electrically insulating performance of mica in mica paper makes it possible to obtain electrically insulating boards with good electrical properties. In paper, the agglomeration strength of mica scales is increased by laminating reinforcing sheets, and when using mica sheet as a base material for electrical insulating boards, mica paper does not work even if it is impregnated with thermosetting resin liquid. There is no fear that the paper shape will be lost due to the penetration of the thermosetting resin liquid, and the reduction in tension of the mica paper due to the penetration of the thermosetting resin liquid can be reinforced with the reinforcing sheet. When creating prepreg as a base material, impregnation with thermosetting resin liquid and drying can be performed in a series of continuous steps.
An electrical insulating board with excellent electrical properties can be manufactured with high productivity using mica as a base material. Moreover, the mica sheet, which is made by laminating a reinforcing sheet on mica paper, is not impregnated with resin in advance, but instead it is possible to select the type of thermosetting resin and impregnate it into the mica sheet depending on the application and desired performance. This makes it possible to create a mica sheet base material prepreg, and it becomes possible to manufacture various electrical insulating boards with different impregnated resins using one type of mica sheet. In addition, mica scales were assembled by filtering a slurry in which mica scales were dispersed onto the surface of a circular screen and transferring it to the surface of a reinforcing sheet into which resin liquid was permeated. Since a mica sheet is created by laminating mica paper and a reinforcing sheet, mica paper can be created without the need to use a resin binder using the round net method, and the mica paper and reinforcing sheet can be laminated. It is now possible to create a mica sheet that does not contain resin in advance, and by impregnating this mica sheet with a selected type of thermosetting resin depending on the application and desired performance, it is possible to create a mica sheet base prepreg. This makes it possible to manufacture various types of electrical insulating boards with different impregnated resins using a type of mica sheet.
