Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electrothermal film, in particular to a PTC effect electrothermal film and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Electric heating is a heating method of converting electric energy into heat energy, which does not need to directly use fossil energy, and is different from traditional water-electric heating and low-heat floor heating, and has the advantages of fast heating speed, high comfort, self-control and the like, and has been widely applied. At present, among various electric floor heating, a planar heating body represented by an electrothermal film is pursued due to its safety and power saving. However, the electrothermal film cannot avoid being covered by a material with high thermal resistance in a long-term use process, which causes heat to be unable to be timely dissipated, and eventually leads to local overheating of the electrothermal film, and there is a great safety hazard. In addition, when a temperature controller, a temperature sensing probe and the like in the electrothermal film fail, the product temperature cannot be limited, and eventually the electrothermal film is overheated.

[0003] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop an electrothermal film without overheating problem, low energy consumption and long service life. SUMMARY

[0004] The present application aims to provide a PTC effect (positive temperature coefficient effect) electrothermal film and a preparation method and application thereof.

[0005] The technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows:

[0006] A PTC effect electrothermal film comprises a film substrate, an electrothermal layer with PTC effect, a conductive circuit and a circulating relay; components of the electrothermal layer with PTC effect include nano-silicon hybrid resin, flaky graphene, a thermosensitive material, a conductive agent and an additive; the electrothermal layer with PTC effect is covered on one side or both sides of the film substrate; the circulating relay is arranged in the conductive circuit.

[0007] Preferably, the film substrate is one of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film and polyimide (PI) film.

[0008] Preferably, the electrothermal layer with PTC effect comprises the following components by mass:

[0009] Nano-silicon hybrid resin: 40-50 parts;

[0010] Flaky graphene: 30-35 parts;

[0011] Thermosensitive material: 2-10 parts;

[0012] Conductive agent: 1-5 parts;

[0013] Additive: 0.5-3 parts.

[0014] Preferably, the flake graphite has a flake diameter of 2-10 microns and a thickness of 1-3 nanometers.

[0015] Preferably, the heat-sensitive material is at least one of polyethylene oxide, microcrystalline wax, and barium titanate.

[0016] Preferably, the conductive agent is at least one of conductive graphite, conductive carbon black, carbon nanotubes, carbon fibers, and conductive metal powder.

[0017] Preferably, the auxiliary agent is at least one of wetting dispersants, leveling agents, and thickening agents.

[0018] Preferably, the line connection time of the cycle relay is 20-40 seconds, and the line disconnection time is 3-7 seconds.

[0019] Preferably, the PTC-effect electrothermal film further comprises a temperature sensor.

[0020] A preparation method of the PTC-effect electrothermal film comprises the following steps:

[0021] 1) dispersing the aqueous organic-inorganic hybrid resin, flake graphite, heat-sensitive material, conductive agent, and auxiliary agent in water to obtain an electrothermal slurry;

[0022] 2) coating the electrothermal slurry on the surface of the film substrate to dry and form a film, and then arranging a conductive line, cycle relay, and temperature sensor as needed to obtain the PTC-effect electrothermal film.

[0023] An electric floor heating system comprises the PTC-effect electrothermal film.

[0024] The PTC-effect electrothermal film has the advantages of no overheating problem, low energy consumption, long service life, and wide application prospect.

[0025] Specifically:

[0026] 1) The PTC-effect electrothermal film uses a nano-silicon hybrid resin as a film-forming main body, has good temperature resistance, high-low temperature impact resistance, and long service life.

[0027] 2) The PTC-effect electrothermal film comprises a heat-sensitive material, which plays a role when the temperature rises to cause the resistance of the electrothermal film to rise and the power to drop, so that the heating temperature of the electrothermal film can be limited to avoid overheating problems.

[0028] 3) The PTC effect electric heating film of the present application introduces a cycle relay, which intermittently supplies power to the electric heating film by periodically opening and closing the power supply. Although the electric heating film will still have heat accumulation under the condition of being covered by a material with large thermal resistance, the line will automatically disconnect after a period of time, preventing the temperature of the electric heating film from rising further, thereby avoiding overheating problems. Moreover, the energy consumption of the intermittent power supply is significantly lower than that of traditional electric heating films. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
