Description

[0002] The porous liquid storage medium has a certain porosity inside for storing lubricating medium, thereby ensuring good self-lubricating performance. Under the stimulation of external load, the lubricating medium can be separated from the pores and form a fluid dynamic pressure lubricating oil film in the gap between the friction pair, and can also spontaneously realize the back absorption of the surface lubricating oil under the driving of the internal capillary force, thereby forming a circulating intelligent lubricating system. However, it is worth noting that the lubricating medium can also penetrate into the porous matrix under the action of the oil film pressure, thereby reducing the thickness of the lubricating oil film and the load-carrying capacity of the oil film, which means that the self-lubricating performance and the load-carrying capacity of the oil film of the porous liquid storage medium are difficult to balance.

[0003] However, good oil lubrication conditions often require a high porosity, and a high porosity will reduce the mechanical properties of the porous liquid storage medium matrix; the premature and excessive penetration of the lubricating medium, or insufficient recovery will also cause the service life of the porous liquid storage medium to decrease. In addition, the current porous liquid storage medium is mostly prepared by a molding process, which is difficult to meet the preparation requirements of self-lubricating complex components, thereby limiting the application range of the porous liquid storage medium.

The pores in the porous liquid storage layer are single-layer or multi-layer micropores with adjustable pore diameter and porosity, and the pores store lubricating medium. The microstructure surface layer is micro-nano texture with adjustable structure morphological parameters and distribution state, and the microstructure surface layer is used to promote the pumping circulation of the lubricating medium and the hydrodynamic lubrication effect.

[0037] The programmable self-lubricating liquid storage medium further comprises a bottom layer. The bottom layer is arranged below the porous liquid storage layer. The bottom layer is used to prevent leakage of the lubricating medium.

[0044] Embodiment 2

[0045] The embodiment of the present application provides a preparation method of programmable self-lubricating liquid storage medium, as shown in the formula, comprising: Figure 2

In the preparation process, a material containing a pore-forming agent component is first selected to prepare the inner layer pore structure, and then a material not containing a pore-forming agent component is selected to prepare the surface layer structure. Therefore, the raw material used for preparing the self-lubricating liquid storage medium needs to meet the requirements of one or more of the following: photocuring 3D printing, melting deposition 3D printing, and direct writing 3D printing, and in addition, there is no special requirement for the type of base material.

[0050] The raw material used in the preparation of the porous liquid storage layer contains the same or different content of the pore-forming agent; the content of the pore-forming agent in the raw material is less than 40wt%.

[0051] The material used in the preparation of the microstructure surface layer does not contain a pore-forming agent component.

[0052] Step S3, a vacuum hot-impregnation process is used to introduce a lubricating medium into the pores of the porous liquid storage layer to form the programmable self-lubricating liquid storage medium.

[0053] The vacuum degree of the vacuum hot-impregnation process is less than -75kPa, the impregnation temperature is 25℃-90℃, and the impregnation time is 2h-72h.

[0056] Embodiment 3

[0057] The embodiment of the present application provides a structural parameter determination method of programmable self-lubricating liquid storage medium, as shown in the formula (I): Figure 3 The embodiment of the present application provides a structural parameter determination method of programmable self-lubricating liquid storage medium, as shown in the formula (I):

[0058] Step 1: based on the Reynolds equation, the fluid motion equation of the programmable self-lubricating liquid storage medium considering the internal pore structure is established.

[0059] The fluid motion equation is as shown in the formula (II):

[0060]

[0061] In the formula, h is a fluid gap, T is a porous layer thickness, p is a fluid pressure, η is a fluid motion viscosity, U is a friction pair moving speed, (x, y) is a coordinate of an arbitrary point between two friction pair surfaces, k p is a dynamic permeability;

[0062]

[0063] In the formula, φ0 is a porosity of a porous liquid storage layer, ε v is a strain, Δp is a pressure difference, Ks is an empirical parameter, and D is an average radius of a skeleton.

[0064] The derivation process of the dynamic permeability k p is as follows:

[0065] It is assumed that an initial solid skeleton volume of the porous liquid storage medium is V s , a dynamic change volume thereof is ΔV s , an initial characterization volume of the porous liquid storage medium is V b , a dynamic change thereof is ΔV b , an initial pore volume of the porous liquid storage medium is V p , a dynamic change volume thereof is ΔV p , an initial porosity of the porous liquid storage medium is φ0, and the porous liquid storage medium is isotropic. According to the definition of the porosity, the following formula (III) is obtained:

[0066]

[0067]

[0068]

[0069]

[0070] Considering that the solid skeleton is elastically deformed, the volume change of the solid skeleton caused by the external pressure is as follows:

[0071] ΔV s / Vs = - Δp / K s (5)

[0072] Substituting equation 5 into equation 4, we have:

[0073]

[0074]

[0075] where φ is the dynamic porosity, φ0 is the initial porosity, E is the elastic compression modulus of the solid skeleton material, ε v is the strain, v is the Poisson's ratio; K s is the particle bulk modulus, which is calculated by equation (7).

[0076] Permeability refers to the ability of the solid structure to allow fluid to pass under a certain pressure difference, which directly determines the medium pumping circulation behavior of the porous liquid storage medium. In fact, the change of porosity will lead to the change of pore structure, and thus often also cause the change of permeability. The existing research commonly used to describe the pore structure and fluid pressure change is the pore model, mainly including Kozeny-Carman equation and Imay equation. Kozeny-Carman equation, also known as sphere equation, is widely used in fluid dynamics calculation under laminar flow state. According to Kozeny-Carman equation, we have:

[0077]

[0078] where φ is the porosity, D is the average radius of the skeleton, K is the empirical parameter, generally 5; considering the dynamic porosity, we have:

[0079]

[0080] Step 2: Dimensionless treatment of the fluid motion equation to obtain the dimensionless Reynolds equation.

[0081] Specifically, it includes:

[0082] The film thickness between any points of the two friction pairs is constructed as where H is the film thickness of any point (x, y) between the two friction pair surfaces, h p is the pore depth of the microstructure surface layer, h0 is the initial gap of the friction pair, Δ is a specific region, (X, Y) is the dimensionless (x, y);

[0083] The dimensionless parameter is defined as where L is the unit area length, p0 is the atmospheric pressure, and ψ is the intermediate function.

[0084] The fluid motion equation is dimensionless processed according to the defined dimensionless parameter, and a dimensionless Reynolds equation is obtained In the formula, ∧ is an intermediate function, ∧ = (6 * u * η' * L) / (p0 * h0 2 ), η' is the viscosity of the lubricant, and u is the relative sliding speed of the friction pair.

[0085] Step 3: According to the desired lubrication effect, a plurality of groups of structure parameters are preset; the structure parameters include the pore diameter of the porous liquid storage layer, the porosity of the porous liquid storage layer, the pore diameter of the microstructure surface layer, the pore depth of the microstructure surface layer, and the thickness of the porous layer of the microstructure surface layer.

[0086] Step 4: According to each group of structure parameters, the dimensionless Reynolds equation is discretely iterated by using the finite difference method, and the surface fluid lifting force distribution corresponding to each group of structure parameters is obtained.

[0087] Step 5: The surface fluid lifting force distribution corresponding to each group of structure parameters is compared with the surface fluid lifting force distribution corresponding to the desired lubrication effect, and the optimal group of structure parameters is determined as the structure parameters of the programmable self-lubricating liquid storage medium.

After the model is printed, the sample is taken out, ultrasonically cleaned with ethanol for 10.00 min, and then placed under a UV lamp for curing treatment for 15.00 min. After complete curing, a 3D printed porous liquid storage medium preform sample is obtained. The preformed porous liquid storage medium sample is placed in an oven to remove moisture, and the temperature is 100°C. The entire post-processing process lasts for 48 hours. Dimethyl silicone oil is used as a lubricating medium, and the porous liquid storage medium sample after heat treatment is immersed in a vacuum container filled with dimethyl silicone oil, and the immersion environment temperature is maintained at 40.00°C, and a vacuum environment of-80.00kPa is maintained for 72.00h, so that the internal pores of the porous liquid storage medium are infiltrated with dimethyl silicone oil.

According to the calculation method, the surface lubrication lifting force distribution of different surface microstructures and internal pore structure samples is shown in Figure 6The friction coefficient distribution of samples with different surface microstructures is shown in FIG. 3, based on the preparation method of Example 3. Figure 7

[0091] The lubrication mechanism of the programmable self-lubricating liquid storage medium is shown in FIG. 4. Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 4, under the action of external load, the pores of the porous liquid storage medium are deformed, and the lubricating medium is extruded and seeped from the internal oil-containing layer to the surface microstructure layer; with the movement of the friction pair, the lubricating medium spreads into a film on the surface of the porous liquid storage medium, and generates a hydrodynamic pressure lubrication effect under the induction of the surface microstructure; the distribution of the surface microstructure is controllable, thereby realizing programmable control of the self-lubricating effect of the liquid storage medium; when the porous liquid storage medium is not subjected to external load, the pores of the inner layer of the porous liquid storage medium expand, and the lubricating medium on the surface of the friction pair flows back and penetrates into the internal pores for storage. Figure 8 In FIG. 4, Surface microstructure layer represents the microstructure surface layer, Internal porous oil-containing layer represents the porous liquid storage layer, Origin no load represents the origin no load; Loading represents additional, Friction pair represents the friction pair, Extrusion represents extrusion, Deformed with load represents load deformation; Lubricating medium represents the lubricating medium, Porous framework represents the porous framework, Surface microstructure represents the surface microstructure; Squeeze effective represents the extrusion effective, Pumping represents pumping; Seepage represents seepage, Recovery without load represents no load recovery, Rubbing with load represents load friction.
