Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of rubber film production, and particularly relates to a vacuum microwave drying furnace for producing rubber film by a liquid phase method. Background Art

[0002] Rubber is an elastic polymer that can be obtained from plant sap or artificially produced. Both have many applications and products, such as tires, gaskets, gloves, condoms, etc. Rubber can be divided into block rubber, latex, etc. according to its form.

[0003] The common process flow of modern rubber industry is: for blocky raw rubber, it is mixed and kneaded with its matching reinforcing agent, vulcanizing agent, accelerator, antioxidant, softener, filler, etc. to form a semi-finished mixed rubber product, and then vulcanized with molds, vulcanizers, vulcanizing tanks, etc. to make various relatively thick products. For latex, it is mixed with the raw materials of the compounding agent to form an emulsion, dipped in the mold, so that the mixed emulsion wraps the surface of the mold to form a wet film, and then vulcanized into various thin products after drying.

[0004] Since the invention of vulcanized rubber technology, thick rubber products have always followed the following general process flow: tree cutting latex - drying into dry rubber - plasticizing - mixing, adding sulfur, reinforcing agent, antioxidant, softener, filler and accelerator during mixing, and finally vulcanizing to obtain the finished product. Vulcanization is the cross-linking process in which the rubber macromolecules change from a linear structure to a network structure under certain conditions. However, this traditional process cannot achieve high rebound rate, high elongation, low hardness, and high strength finished rubber for natural rubber. However, products made directly from latex can reach a rebound rate of more than 80%, a Shore hardness of 38 degrees, an elongation at break of 900%, and a tensile strength of 27Mpa. Such indicators are of great significance in the application of industrial fields.

[0005] High rebound rate means that the rubber absorbs less energy, generates less heat inside, and has good resistance to thermal fatigue; low hardness means that the rubber has a strong ability to withstand the impact of external objects; high elongation at break means that the rubber has a strong ability to resist deformation fatigue; high tensile strength means that it has a strong ability to resist external damage. However, it is not possible to make thick industrial products directly from latex from a technological point of view. In order to achieve or approach the physical properties of latex products, the American Weir Company uses the "liquid phase method" to produce rubber with performance close to that of latex products. The wear-resistant industrial products it produces have a service life 2 to 8 times that of traditional rubber products.

[0006] The basic principle of Weir's use of the "liquid phase method" to manufacture rubber is: latex is mixed with other processed compounding raw materials into an emulsion; then it is spread out and dried; the dried rubber is then rolled out into thin sheets through an open mixing mill and laminated into sheets of a certain thickness. Because the rubber has not undergone mechanical shearing during the plasticizing and mixing process, it maintains its original high molecular weight and retains the rubber's excellent indicators such as elasticity to the maximum extent; the sheets are cut into pieces, put into molds and vulcanized to make products.

[0007] The following is a comparison of the main physical indicators of Weir's "liquid phase method" film production and traditional process film production:

[0008] content Weir Liquid Phase Method Traditional crafts Tensile strength(MPa) 20.58 21~23 Tear strength(N / mm) 25.23 19~24 Permanent deformation at break (%) 1.78 2~4 Tensile elongation (%) 907 500~650 Hardness(Shore A) 38 45~65 Rebound(%) 75 42

[0009] However, from the perspective of various indicators of Weir's "liquid phase method", there is still a large gap compared with the performance indicators of latex (rebound rate can reach more than 80%, Shore hardness 38 degrees, elongation at break can reach more than 900%, and tensile strength can reach 27Mpa). This is because the existing Weir "liquid phase method" process mainly has the following problems: First, when drying rubber sheets, a heat radiation furnace is used for drying. The temperature in the heat radiation furnace is relatively high (70-80°C), which will damage the useful protein contained in the latex and thus reduce the physical indicators; second, the temperature transfer in the heat radiation furnace relies on air as a medium, so it will inevitably cause oxidation of the film surface and have a negative impact on the mechanical indicators; third, the use of an open mill to dissipate the sheet will shear the dried rubber material and break some rubber molecular chains, thereby reducing the physical indicators of the film; fourth, the film stacking is carried out in the atmosphere, and there will be a large amount of residual gas between the film layers. The residual bubbles formed after stacking will affect its physical indicators. Summary of the invention
