Description

TECHNICAL AREA

[0001] The present invention relates to a protective cover for covering machines and machine parts. BACKGROUND

[0002] Protective covers, especially those for machines and machine parts, serve to protect the protected object and the user. Such protective covers typically comprise suitable covering structures, such as films, shape-giving or shape-maintaining components like supports, and other structural elements. Common protective covers are typically made of PVC, Kevlar, metals, and silicones. SHORT DESCRIPTION

[0003] The inventors recognized that conventional protective covers can be disadvantageous from an environmental perspective. They also realized that material recovery from conventional protective covers can be particularly difficult or uneconomical due to complex material separation requirements.

[0004] The inventors have also recognized that protective covers for vibrating or moving machines and machine parts can adversely affect the machine's functionality. As the inventors have discovered, conventional protective covers can be excited by vibrations of the machine or machine part, and these vibrations can be transmitted back to the machine or machine part via feedback. This can negatively impact the functionality of machines and machine parts, which is particularly evident when considering vibrating measuring machines. In these machines, the measurement accuracy can be adversely affected by the feedback.

[0005] One object of the present invention is therefore to provide a protective cover which has less of an impact on the functionality of the machines and machine parts and is easier to recycle.

[0006] The present invention relates to a protective cover according to claim 1 and the use of a flat textile for the production of a protective cover according to claim 15. The inventors have recognized that the design of the protective cover according to the invention solves the described problem.

[0007] In particular, the inventors have recognized that by designing a surface textile and a coating, wherein at least one surface of the surface textile has the coating, and wherein the surface textile or the coating consists of a material comprising a polymer, wherein the polymer comprises propylene subunits, the material of the protective cover can be recycled more easily and the protective cover can therefore be designed in a more environmentally friendly way.

[0008] Furthermore, the mass of the protective cover can be reduced by using a surface textile. This reduction is achieved through the textile properties of the surface structure, particularly the spaces within the textile.

[0009] The fibers or yarns of the textile fabric can be partially displaceable and flexible relative to one another. This can mechanically decouple the fabric and effectively dampen vibrations. The fabric can be constructed as a woven, non-woven, knitted, or felt fabric.

[0010] The protective cover comprises a coating. The coating can be applied to the fibers or yarns of the fabric, including within the spaces between the fibers, or it can penetrate them. The inventors recognized that such protective covers can be manufactured in a particularly versatile manner, as the properties of the fabric can be modulated by the coating.

[0011] At least one of the textile surfaces can be partially or fully coated, meaning covering at least 99% of the surface area. The coating can modify the textile's density, mechanical strength, resistance to chemicals and radiation, and dimensional stability.

[0012] The coating can be applied to at least one surface of the fabric by coating processes such as transfer coating, doctor blade coating, or spray coating, by lamination, by coextrusion, in particular multi-phase coextrusion, or by embedding the fabric in a coating matrix suitable for forming the coating as an outer layer of the fabric. This allows for the efficient production of reproducible coatings with adjustable layer thicknesses and surface structures.

[0013] The adjustable layer thickness allows for customization of the mechanical properties of the surface textile. This enables the creation of coatings with uniform thicknesses or coatings with varying thicknesses in specific areas, particularly zoned areas.

[0014] The aforementioned properties (such as reduced mass, reduced layer thickness, etc.), either individually or in combination, can also be used to adjust the natural frequency of the protective cover and reduce feedback. This means that the operation of the protected equipment is less affected, or not affected at all, by the protective cover, which is particularly advantageous for sensitive measuring instruments.

[0015] Applying the coating to the spaces between the layers of the textile can make the fabric largely impermeable to liquids and air. Common primers or surface activation processes can particularly facilitate the coating process.

[0016] The fabric can be bonded to at least one carrier. This carrier allows the fabric to be geometrically shaped. The protective cover can be divided into sections by bonding the fabric to the carrier. Each of these sections can be geometrically defined by bonding the fabric to the carrier. The geometric shape can be further defined by other methods, such as folding or deforming the fabric, and stabilized, for example, by applying heat or tension. This allows the protective cover to be manufactured to fit specific machines or machine parts.

[0017] The connection can be made with a surface of the textile or with the coating. Several sections of the protective cover can also be designed to be movable relative to each other, for example, compressible and extendable.

[0018] This allows for the implementation of a size-adjustable or movable protective cover. Alternatively, the protective cover can be designed so that its overall length remains largely constant, but the lengths of the individual sections can vary, allowing only specific sections to be movable. This enables, for example, sections with special geometries or structural elements such as viewing windows, filters, or anchors with moving machine parts to be made movable.

[0019] The protective cover can at least partially enclose a volume or be designed to be flat. The textile surface can be designed to hold or cover a machine or a machine part.

[0020] By using a material containing a propylene subunit polymer for the surface textile or coating, the mass of a protective cover can be reduced. This material, containing a propylene subunit polymer, allows the surface textile or coating to exhibit low mass, high chemical resistance, and advantageous mechanical properties.

[0021] Improving durability can extend the machine's lifespan. In particular, reducing mass can enhance machine functionality. Specifically, this can increase the measurement accuracy of a measuring machine.

[0022] Provided the surface textile consists of the material, the mass of the surface textile can be reduced, the material comprising a propylene subunit-containing polymer can be largely chemically resistant and exhibit advantageous stiffness, fatigue strength, and impact strength.

[0023] Even if only the coating consisted of the material comprising a polymer containing propylene subunits, the advantageous properties could be achieved without significantly increasing the overall mass. This allows for the precise creation of a lightweight, durable, and malleable protective cover with chemical resistance. The coating can be applied to a textile surface that is not yet shaped according to a specific application. Alternatively, the textile surface can be pre-shaped according to a specific application when the coating is applied. This can, for example, increase the dimensional stability of the shaped textile surface and optionally provide a shape memory effect. Protective covers for stationary machines can also be fitted directly at the machine's location.

[0024] In one aspect of the invention, the surface textile and the coating consist of a material comprising a polymer containing propylene subunits. Because the coating material and the surface textile material comprise a polymer containing propylene subunits, the coating can be applied more easily to the surface textile, particularly through a more uniform selection of suitable processes, such as thermal ones, and intermediary materials like primers.

[0025] The properties of the protective cover can be further adjusted by choosing the respective material composition of the coating and the surface textile.

[0026] In one aspect of the invention, the fabric and the coating can exhibit deformations. These deformations can, in particular, include folds. The deformations can be permanently stabilized, for example, by applying heat. Alternatively, a temporarily stabilized deformation of the protective covering can be achieved, for example, by applying tension. By permanently stabilizing the deformations of the fabric, the fabric can be folded into permanent folds. In particular, this allows the sections of the fabric to be made compressible and stretchable. The permanent stabilization can be achieved by the coating material, which comprises a polymer containing propylene subunits, and / or by the fabric material, which comprises a polymer containing propylene subunits.

[0027] The connection between the fabric and the at least one support can be achieved through frictional connections, such as stitching; through material-bonded connections, such as covalent or ionic cross-linking; through thermal joining, in particular by welding, such as high-frequency welding, ultrasonic welding, hot wedge welding, hot air welding, pulse welding, or by adhesive bonding; or through form-fit connections, such as punch rivet notch-cone connections. In particular, all connections between the fabric and the support of a protective cover can be achieved through similar or different types of connections. Different types of connections, in particular, allow for easy subsequent modification of the protective cover. This can simplify the production of modular protective covers.

[0028] In one aspect of the invention, the carriers consist of a material comprising a polymer containing propylene subunits. This allows for a more stable and easier-to-produce bond with the surface textile or coating. It also enables the creation of a protective cover with more homogeneous properties, such as thermal expansion. In particular, this significantly facilitates recycling.

[0029] In one aspect of the invention, the propylene-containing polymers of the fabric, the coating, and optionally the carrier comprise the same subunits. This further simplifies the recycling of the protective cover. It also makes it particularly advantageous to apply the coating to the fabric, for example, by prior plasma treatment, corona treatment, application of an adhesion promoter, or thermal pretreatment. Furthermore, the bond between the fabric and the one or more carriers can be improved.

[0030] In one aspect of the invention, the propylene subunit-comprising polymer of at least the coating, the carrier, or the surface textile, preferably at least two of the coating, the carrier, or the surface textile, and in particular all of the coating, the carrier, and the surface textile, is a polypropylene homopolymer. This allows for the creation of a particularly easily recyclable protective cover. Furthermore, the density of the propylene homopolymer is particularly low, enabling the creation of a protective cover with a particularly low mass. Particularly homogeneous properties can also be achieved, so that subsequent treatments or influences resulting from use have a particularly homogeneous effect on the protective cover. This can, for example, prevent warping and increase the service life of the protective cover.

[0031] In one aspect of the invention, the propylene subunit-comprising polymer of at least the coating, the carrier, or the surface textile, preferably at least two of the coating, the carrier, or the surface textile, and in particular all of the coating, the carrier, and the surface textile, is a copolymer, preferably a block copolymer, an impact copolymer, or a random copolymer. This allows material properties, in particular the crystallinity or the melting point, to be adjusted. This also allows the mechanical properties and the resistance of the polymers, for example to chemicals or radiation, in particular UV radiation, to be improved.

[0032] In one aspect of the invention, the propylene subunit-comprising polymer in at least the coating, the carrier, or the surface textile, preferably in at least two of the coating, the carrier, or the surface textile, and in particular in all of the coating, the carrier, and the surface textile, comprises a proportion of at least 80%, particularly at least 85%, of the total mass of all polymer components of the material. This allows for the realization of a protective cover with largely uniform material properties. This also increases the uniformity of the surfaces of the protective cover, for example, after thermal treatments, and reduces undesirable deformations or distortions. Furthermore, the design can further improve the reduction of feedback and the mechanical filtering of vibrations.

[0033] In one aspect of the invention, the propylene subunit-comprising polymer of at least the coating, the carrier or the surface textile, preferably at least two of the coating, the carrier or the surface textile, in particular all of the coating, the carrier and the surface textile, which is a copolymer, comprises subunits of a linear 1-olefin, in particular 1-ethylene, 1-butene, or 1-hexene.

[0034] Further subunits allow for the adjustment of material properties such as crystallinity or melting point. Linear 1-olefin subunits can reduce crystallinity, thereby increasing properties such as ductility, impact strength, and elongation at break. This can further facilitate the reduction of feedback and the mechanical filtering of vibrations. It can also extend the service life of protective covers.

[0035] In one aspect of the invention, the propylene subunit-comprising polymer of at least the coating, the carrier, or the fabric, preferably at least two of the coating, the carrier, or the fabric, and in particular all of the coating, the carrier, and the fabric, which is a copolymer, comprises less than 15% ethylene subunits, less than 5% hexene subunits, and / or less than 10% butene subunits, each measured by mass of the propylene subunit-comprising polymer. This allows the stiffness, melting point, crystallinity, impact strength, and ductility of the polymer to be adjusted. In particular, increasing the proportion of ethylene, hexene, and butene subunits in the polymer can reduce the stiffness, melting point, and crystallinity, while increasing the impact strength and ductility.This allows for the creation of a protective cover with improved feedback properties and improved resistance to deformation and stress.

[0036] In one aspect of the invention, the polymer comprising propylene subunits, which is a copolymer, is crosslinked in at least the coating, the substrate, or the surface textile, preferably in at least two of the coating, the substrate, or the surface textile, and in particular in all of the coating, the substrate, and the surface textile. This allows properties such as damping characteristics and chemical resistance to be improved. In particular, shape-memory polymers can be realized. This allows the geometry of a protective cover to be set to a base state. The base state can be defined, for example, by an application-specific shaped surface textile onto which the coating comprising the shape-memory polymers can be applied. This can contribute to the reduction of feedback and the mechanical filtering of vibrations. Surface textiles, substrates, or coatings can also be bonded in this way.

[0037] This can particularly simplify the production of connections between the coating, the substrate or the surface textile.

[0038] In one aspect of the invention, the propylene subunit-comprising polymer comprises at least the coating, the carrier or the surface textile, preferably at least two of the coating, the carrier or the surface textile, in particular all of the coating, the carrier and the surface textile, comprising at least 70% propylene subunits, preferably at least 85% propylene subunits measured by the mass of the propylene subunit-comprising polymer.

[0039] This allows for a reduction in the mass of the protective cover. It also improves the fatigue strength, electrical insulation, and chemical resistance of the protective cover. Furthermore, this enables the creation of a physiologically safe protective cover. This can reduce contamination risks, for example, in food production.

[0040] In one aspect of the invention, the propylene subunit-comprising polymers of the fabric, the coating, and the substrate differ in their melting points. This can enable gentle thermal bonding. For example, the polymer with the higher melting point can be on the side facing a heat source, and the polymer with the lower melting point on the side facing away from the heat source. This allows for a gentler and simultaneous bonding of the substrate and thermal coating of the fabric. It also prevents or allows for the controlled melting of the fabric during the coating or bonding process. Furthermore, it simplifies thermal treatments, such as shaping thermal treatments of the fabric or the coating.

[0041] In one aspect of the invention, the propylene subunit-comprising polymers of the surface textile, the coating, and the substrate differ in their crystallinity. This allows for the adjustment of mechanical and optical properties. For example, particularly stable substrates with higher crystallinity or a particularly flexible surface textile with lower crystallinity can be realized. This also facilitates a constructive reduction of feedback and the mechanical filtering of vibrations.

[0042] In one aspect of the invention, the material comprises one or more additives selected from antioxidants, anti-gas-fading stabilizers, UV stabilizers, light protectants, pigments, antistatic agents, plasticizers, fillers, coating primers, and other polymers. This allows the properties of the fabric, the one or more substrates, and the coating to be tailored to the application. The lightfastness of the material can be increased by light protectants, the UV resistance of the material by UV stabilizers, the antistatic properties of the material by antistatic agents, and the chemical stability of the material by the addition of anti-gas-fading stabilizers.

[0043] Pigments can be designed as patterns, for example as a machine-readable code on the protective cover surface. By reading the machine-readable code with suitable reading devices, such as cameras, mobile phones, or scanners, stored data linked to the code from the protective cover and / or the protected object can be output. This data might include information about the protective cover or machine identity, its materials, its maintenance status, its replacement options, and its functional parameters. This simplifies machine maintenance, replacement, and recycling.

[0044] In one aspect of the invention, the fabric has a basis weight of more than 150 g / m². 2 but less than 600g / m² 2 , especially more than 220g / m² 2 but less than 470g / m² 2This reduces the mass of the protective cover. This also reduces feedback to the moving instrument.

[0045] In one aspect of the invention, the protective cover can have one or more openings. These openings can be closable, for example, by accommodating filters. This allows for the creation of filter receptacles, inspection openings, recesses such as viewing windows, or insertion openings.

[0046] In one aspect of the invention, the supports can be configured as support frames or rollers. A support frame can be configured in any shape, such as U-shaped, V-shaped, L-shaped, triangular or polygonal, heart-shaped, circular, cylindrical, regular, or irregular. Particularly if at least one of the supports is a roller, the fabric can be designed to be rolled onto the rollers. The rollers can be designed such that the fabric can be rolled onto them. A winding mechanism can also be provided to roll the fabric onto the roller. In particular, roller-shaped supports with winding mechanisms can create an easily removable protective cover for areas requiring frequent maintenance.

[0047] In a further aspect of the invention, the protective cover can in particular comprise at least two rollers arranged such that, when the fabric is rolled onto one roller, it is unrolled from the other roller, and that this rolling action exposes at least one recess in an area between the two rollers. This allows a protective cover with at least one movable recess to be realized. This can, for example, allow a laser source outside the protective cover to emit a laser beam through the recess into the enclosed volume.

[0048] In a further aspect of the invention, the surface textile or the support can be designed to be associatable with a machine part, such as a machine housing. The connectability or associatibility of the surface textile or the support can be achieved by damping, in particular movable, connecting elements. This ensures the tightness of the protective cover during machine operation. Additionally, it can increase the protection of the surrounding area from contamination or safety-related aspects of the machine or machine part.

[0049] In one aspect of the invention, the surface textile, or at least one of the at least one carrier, forms a receptacle, wherein the receptacle is designed to receive one or more structural components, in particular bearings, sleeves, rails, connectors, damping rings, spring steel lamellae, or sliders. This allows structural elements to be associated with the protective cover. This enables the modular design of protective covers and the simple connection of the protective covers to the machine to be protected or its surrounding elements.

[0050] The invention also solves the problem by using a surface textile having a coating and at least one carrier to produce a protective cover according to the invention.
