Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of filling materials for wind power generation blades, and particularly relates to a polyurethane foam filling material for wind power generation blades, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the development of wind power technology, the length of blades has been continuously increasing, and most of them need to reach more than 80 meters to capture more wind energy. Traditional core materials such as PVC foam and balsa wood face problems such as insufficient mechanical properties and large weight in ultra-large blades, and there is an urgent need for higher-strength and lighter alternative materials. Especially in the marine environment, the requirements for blades are higher, and the extreme climate from -30°C to +60°C needs to be strengthened. Traditional core materials are easy to absorb moisture and have poor durability. Polyurethane has become an ideal choice due to its hydrophobicity and high weather resistance.
[0003] Patent CN101402791A discloses a low-density and high-strength nano-polyurethane wind turbine blade composite material, which includes component A and component B. By weight, component A: polyester polyol 20-50; polyether polyol 10-60; vegetable oil 10-25; inorganic nano material 10-20; catalyst 0.01-1; antioxidant 0.01-1; fiber reinforcement material 10-30; component B: polydiphenyl diisocyanate, toluene diisocyanate or isocyanate prepolymer; the weight ratio of component A to component B except for the fiber reinforcement material is A:B = 1:1-1.5. It overcomes the problems of high density, low temperature resistance, and easy aging of existing unsaturated resin and epoxy resin materials. It is made by compounding nano materials with glass fiber and volcanic rock fiber as reinforcement materials with polyurethane, and has special properties such as low density, high tensile, shear strength, low temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance, and is suitable for the application of wind turbine blades and engineering structure materials in wind power generation. Although this patent has a lower density compared with unsaturated resin and epoxy resin, this product is a non-foaming product and still has a relatively high density, and the achieved strength is not mentioned either.
[0004] Patent CN103339375A discloses a reinforced polyurethane foam and its uses as a load-bearing and rigid planar element inside a blade or wing, and as a thermal insulation material for a liquefied natural gas tank. The reinforced polyurethane foam is obtained by the following method: mixing (a) polyisocyanate with (b) a compound having isocyanate-reactive groups, (c) a blowing agent containing water, and optionally (d) a catalyst and (e) other additives to form a reaction mixture and curing the reaction mixture, wherein the reaction mixture to be cured contains 1 wt% - 40 wt% of hollow microspheres and / or a porous reinforcing agent (f) capable of forming a two-dimensional or three-dimensional network structure in the polyurethane foam. The compound (b) having isocyanate-reactive groups contains a polyether polyol (b1), a polyester polyol (b2), a chain extender (b3), and optionally a crosslinking agent (b4) and an aromatic polyether diol (b5), and the polyester polyol (b2), the chain extender (b3), and the aromatic polyether diol (b5) contained in component (b) are at least 50 wt% based on the total weight of component (b). Although this patent is for a reinforced polyurethane foam with relatively excellent performance, the reinforcing effect is achieved by the layered form of hollow glass microspheres and the reinforcing agent, and it is difficult to achieve a uniform distribution of solids and liquids, i.e., a uniform distribution with polyurethane, which requires high production control.
[0005] Traditional polyurethane filling materials rely on petroleum-based polyether / polyester polyols, while bio-based alternatives can reduce the carbon footprint and meet the industry's low-carbon environmental protection requirements. At the same time as taking into account the low-carbon environmental protection characteristics, improving their application performance as the core material of wind turbine blades is a difficult problem in the industry today. Therefore, a low-density, high-modulus, green and environmentally friendly polyurethane foam filling material suitable for wind turbine blades has become a trend in the industry's development.

After the dropping is completed, cure for 0.5 - 1 h; Step 2: Adjust the temperature to 90 - 110°C, continuously dropwise add propylene oxide monomer (60% of the total mass of propylene oxide), ensure that the pressure is controlled below 0.2 MPa during the process, until all the propylene oxide is added dropwise, and cure for 3 - 5 h to obtain crude polyether; Step 3: Control the temperature in the polymerization kettle at 100 - 120°C, evacuate to control the pressure in the polymerization kettle at -0.08 to -0.09 MPa to remove unreacted propylene oxide; lower the temperature in the polymerization kettle to 75 - 85°C, add phosphoric acid and water, stir for 1 h, add magnesium silicate, raise the temperature to 100 - 110°C, evacuate to dehydrate and control the pressure in the kettle at -0.08 to -0.09 MPa, detect that the moisture is less than 0.1%, discharge and filter by suction to obtain polyether polyol a, with an average hydroxyl value of 280 mg KOH / g and a functionality of 3.32.
[0012] The molar ratio of the enzymatically hydrolyzed lignin, pentaerythritol, trimethylolmelamine, and propylene glycol is 1:1:0.5:1.515.
[0013] The cross-linking agent is one or both of glycerol and triethanolamine.

[0016] The catalyst is one or more of triethylenediamine, N,N - dimethylcyclohexylamine, benzylamine, delayed - type quaternary ammonium salt catalyst TMR - 2, 1,3,5 - tris(dimethylaminopropyl)hexahydro - s - triazine, or 2,4,6 - tris(dimethylaminomethyl)phenol.
[0017] The auxiliary agent is dimethyl carbonate.
[0018] The polyurethane foam filling material for wind power generation blades has the following properties: Density ≥ 80 kg / m 3 ; Compressive strength ≥ 1.8 MPa; High - low temperature dimensional stability ≤ 0.3%; Water absorption rate ≤ 1%.
[0019] The preparation method of the polyurethane foam filling material for wind power generation blades according to the present invention includes the following steps: (1) Preparation of Component A: Polyether polyol a, polyether polyol b, polyether polyol c, polyester polyol d, crosslinking agent, viscosity reducer, foam stabilizer, catalyst, chemical blowing agent water and additives are added into a reaction kettle, stirred and mixed evenly at room temperature to obtain Component A, which is then sealed and stored; (2) Preparation of Component B: Polymethylene polyphenyl polyisocyanate is taken as Component B, preferably PM200 of Wanhua Chemical Group Co., Ltd.; (3) During use, Component A and Component B are mixed evenly according to a mass ratio of 1.0: (0.9 - 1.1), and then injected into a mold. After molding and curing, the polyurethane foam filling material for wind turbine blades is obtained.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) For the polyurethane foam filling material for wind turbine blades of the present invention, the polyether polyol a used is a special bio - based polyether polyol. By screening a specific enzymatically hydrolyzed lignin initiator, it provides a high - rigidity ring in an environmentally friendly manner. Trihydroxymethyl melamine introduces a triazine structure to increase the nitrogen - containing rigid group. When paired with pentaerythritol, the regular structure and cross - linking degree of pentaerythritol ensure excellent rigidity and mechanical properties in the application of the prepared polyether polyol product, and at the same time ensure the isotropy of the prepared product, avoiding uneven distribution of the filling material in local areas.
[0021] (2) Through the selection of the initiator and control of the index range of polyether polyol b, polyether polyol with low viscosity and high strength is synthesized. Polyol b uses bisphenol A as the initiator and trimethylolpropane as the initiator, avoiding the problems of difficult mixing caused by the high viscosity of traditional polyethers initiated by high - functionality sucrose and sorbitol and incompatibility with viscosity reducers. When paired with high - functionality polyether polyol c, it maximizes the strength of the product while ensuring regular chain segments and low viscosity.
[0022] (3) The small - molecule dimethyl carbonate added in the present invention is effectively paired with the physical blowing agent. During the foaming process, its relatively fast evaporation rate can buffer heat, effectively inhibiting the escape of the physical blowing agent during the reaction, making the foam structure more stable, significantly improving the foam strength, and enhancing the dimensional stability of the product.
[0023] (4) The chemical blowing agent of the present invention is water, and no physical blowing agent is added, which is green, environmentally friendly and pollution - free.
[0024] (5) The polyurethane foam filling material for wind turbine blades of the present invention is safe, green and environmentally friendly. It not only has the advantages of low density, high strength, good process adaptability, excellent dimensional stability, but also can provide good weather resistance. Detailed implementation mode
