Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of composite material anti-icing technology, and in particular to an anti-icing component and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Icing on the surfaces of aircraft, wind turbine blades, radar radomes, and other equipment can severely impact their normal operation. Aircraft icing can occur on wings, tail sections, air intake leading edges, and windshields, significantly disrupting aerodynamics. Icing reduces lift, increases drag, and impairs stability; severe icing can even lead to crashes. Icing on wind turbine blades affects aerodynamic characteristics, causes load imbalances, increases vibration / fatigue loads, reduces turbine output power, and can even cause turbine shutdown. Icing on radar radomes can affect electromagnetic transmission and compromise antenna structural stability.

[0003] Currently, more and more composite materials are being used for aircraft wing / rotor skin, and almost all wind turbine blades and radar radomes are made of composite materials. Therefore, anti-icing and de-icing of composite material surfaces has become a problem that must be solved.

[0004] Traditional de-icing technologies include mechanical de-icing, liquid de-icing, and thermal de-icing, among which hot gas de-icing and electrothermal de-icing are the most widely used. However, hot gas de-icing methods operate at high temperatures, making them unsuitable for composite materials and severely limiting their application. Traditional electrothermal de-icing methods often use heating elements such as metal heating plates and heating wires, embedded within the protected area (such as wing skin and wind turbine blades). On the one hand, metal heating elements have poor fatigue resistance and are prone to failure during flight vibrations, resulting in high maintenance costs. On the other hand, composite materials have very low heat transfer efficiency and very slow response speed, leading to high energy consumption, low efficiency, and large temperature gradients in de-icing.

[0005] The newly developed electric heating anti-icing coating (film) is generally sprayed directly onto the outer side of the composite skin, which has better fatigue resistance, heat transfer efficiency and response speed than the traditional method of built-in electric heating elements; however, the outermost layer of the coating is at risk of being damaged by sand and gravel impacts, and the coating spraying and maintenance processes require a long time for aircraft operation.

[0043] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0044] Example 1

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an anti-icing and de-icing component, including a composite material layer 2, a high-temperature resistant flexible electric heating film 1 embedded in the composite material layer 2, and a temperature sensor 3 embedded in the composite material layer 2.

[0046] Composite layer 2 has a surface that requires anti-icing and de-icing; in practical applications, composite layer 2 can be used as aircraft skin, wind turbine blade skin, or radar antenna radome, etc.

[0047] In this embodiment, the composite material layer 2 includes a thermally conductive outer layer 21 and a supporting layer 23, with the surface requiring anti-icing located on the outer surface of the thermally conductive outer layer 21. The thermally conductive outer layer 21 and the supporting layer 23 are integrally formed, and a cavity is formed between the thermally conductive outer layer 21 and the supporting layer 23, with the high-temperature resistant flexible electric heating film 1 disposed in the cavity. Both the thermally conductive outer layer 21 and the supporting layer 23 include one or at least two layers of composite material prepreg, which is either glass fiber-epoxy resin prepreg or carbon fiber-epoxy resin prepreg. The thickness of the thermally conductive outer layer 21 is ≤1mm, and the thickness of the supporting layer 23 is ≥2mm.

[0048] The high-temperature resistant flexible electric heating film 1 is built into the cavity as a heating element to provide heat to the surface of the composite material layer 2 that needs to be de-iced, so as to achieve the effect of de-icing.

[0049] In this embodiment, the high-temperature resistant flexible electric heating film 1 includes a high-temperature resistant insulating and heat-conducting layer 14, an electric heating layer, and a high-temperature resistant insulating and heat-insulating layer 11, which are sequentially distributed along a direction gradually away from the surface that needs to be de-iced. The electric heating layer is electrically connected to a power source, which is located outside the de-icing assembly. The high-temperature resistant insulating and heat-conducting layer 14 is tightly attached to the heat-conducting outer layer 21, and the high-temperature resistant insulating and heat-insulating layer 11 is tightly attached to the bearing layer 23. Both the high-temperature resistant insulating and heat-conducting layer 14 and the high-temperature resistant insulating and heat-insulating layer 11 are tightly attached to the electric heating layer.

[0050] The electric heating layer includes a conductive layer 13, two terminals 4 and two flexible electrodes 12 respectively disposed at both ends of the conductive layer 13. The terminals 4 and the flexible electrodes 12 correspond one-to-one. One end of the terminal 4 is electrically connected to the corresponding flexible electrode 12, and the other end extends out of the composite material layer 2.

[0051] The high-temperature resistant insulating and heat-insulating layer 11 is made of a high-temperature resistant polymer matrix and insulating and heat-insulating filler; the conductive layer 13 is made of a high-temperature resistant polymer matrix and conductive filler; the high-temperature resistant insulating and heat-conducting layer 14 is made of a high-temperature resistant polymer matrix and insulating and heat-conducting filler.

[0052] The high-temperature resistant polymer matrix is ​​one or more of the following: high-temperature resistant silicone sealant, high-temperature resistant silicone rubber, high-temperature resistant polyurethane, polytetrafluoroethylene emulsion, polyimide emulsion, and polyamide-imide emulsion; the insulating and heat-insulating filler is hollow glass microspheres and / or hollow ceramic microspheres; the insulating and thermally conductive filler is one or more of the following: cubic boron nitride, alumina, and aluminum nitride; the conductive filler is one or more of the following: nano-graphite, carbon nanotubes, and carbon nanofibers; and the flexible electrode 12 is copper foil, copper mesh, or silver-plated cloth.

[0053] Temperature sensor 3 is positioned between the high-temperature resistant insulating layer 11 and the electric heating layer. Temperature sensor 3 is used to acquire the temperature of the electric heating layer in real time. Temperature sensor 3 is connected to the control unit via signal line 5, which passes through the carrier layer 23. The control unit is used to adjust the electric heating power of the electric heating layer based on the temperature signal acquired by temperature sensor 3.

[0054] It should be noted that the high-temperature resistant flexible electric heating film 1 has several through holes, and a connecting post 22 is inserted into each through hole. The connecting post 22 is formed by filling the corresponding through hole with epoxy resin. One end of the connecting post 22 is connected to the heat-conducting outer layer 21, and the other end is connected to the bearing layer 23. The through holes can be circular, square, diamond, or cross-shaped. The through holes serve two purposes: firstly, to house the connecting post 22, and secondly, to improve the electromagnetic wave transmission performance of the high-temperature resistant flexible electric heating film 1, making the anti-icing component suitable for equipment surfaces with electromagnetic wave transmission requirements.

[0055] The composite material layer 2, the high-temperature resistant flexible electric heating film 1, and the temperature sensor 3 are connected together after being treated by a co-curing molding process.

[0056] In this embodiment, the high-temperature resistant flexible electric heating film 1 is embedded in the composite material layer 2, making it less susceptible to damage from sand and gravel impacts. The heat generated by the electric heating layer in the high-temperature resistant flexible electric heating film 1 can be quickly conducted to the surface requiring de-icing through the high-temperature resistant insulating and heat-conducting layer 14. Furthermore, the conductive layer 13 in the high-temperature resistant flexible electric heating film 1 in this embodiment is made of a high-temperature resistant polymer matrix and conductive fillers, exhibiting strong fatigue resistance and a long service life. An external control unit (specifically, a PLC programmable controller or a host computer, etc.) adjusts the electric heating power of the electric heating layer in real time based on the temperature signal obtained from the temperature sensor 3, enabling intelligent control of the heating temperature of the electric heating layer.

[0057] Example 2

[0058] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for preparing an anti-icing and de-icing component according to Embodiment 1, specifically including the following steps:

[0059] (1) Insulating and thermally conductive filler with a mass ratio of 5 to 30% is added to a high-temperature resistant polymer matrix and mixed evenly to obtain a first mixed raw material. The high-temperature resistant insulating and thermally conductive layer 14 is prepared by spraying, scraping or casting with a mold using the first mixed raw material.

[0060] (2) Connect one end of the terminal 4 to the corresponding flexible electrode 12 by means of brazing, resistance welding or other methods.

[0061] (3) Weld and fix the two flexible electrodes 12 to a suitable position on the surface of the high temperature resistant insulating heat-conducting layer 14; and make the terminal 4 away from the high temperature resistant insulating heat-conducting layer 14.

[0062] (4) Add 5-20% by mass of conductive filler to the high-temperature resistant polymer matrix and dilute it with diluent. Then mix it evenly to obtain a second mixed raw material. Use the second mixed raw material to prepare a conductive layer 13 on the surface of the high-temperature resistant insulating and heat-conducting layer 14 by spraying, scraping or casting. The two ends are respectively connected to two flexible electrodes 12. Thus, the electric heating layer is obtained.

[0063] (5) Solder the temperature sensor 3 to the signal line 5, and insulate and shield the temperature sensor 3 and the signal line 5; then fix the temperature sensor 3 on the conductive layer 13.

[0064] (6) Add 5-30% by mass of insulating and heat-insulating filler to the high-temperature resistant polymer matrix and mix them evenly to obtain a third mixed raw material. Use the third mixed raw material to prepare a high-temperature resistant insulating and heat-insulating layer 11 on the electric heating layer by spraying, scraping or casting; and obtain a high-temperature resistant flexible electric heating film 1.

[0065] (7) Several through holes are prepared on the high-temperature resistant flexible electric heating film 1 by laser engraving or stamping process; it should be noted that the position of the through holes should avoid the temperature sensor 3 and the flexible electrode 12; the cut of the through holes is insulated by using a high-temperature resistant polymer matrix;

[0066] (8) The upper and lower surfaces of the high-temperature resistant flexible electric heating film 1 are activated by plasma treatment to enhance the adhesion performance between the high-temperature resistant flexible electric heating film 1 and the composite material layer 2.

[0067] (9) At least two layers of composite prepreg are used as the carrier layer 23, and at least one layer of composite prepreg is used as the thermally conductive outer layer 21; the carrier layer 23, the high-temperature resistant flexible electric heating film 1 and the thermally conductive outer layer 21 are stacked sequentially from bottom to top. It should be noted that before stacking the thermally conductive outer layer 21, epoxy resin is injected into each through hole to form a connecting post 22 that connects the carrier layer 23 and the thermally conductive outer layer 21. Then the thermally conductive outer layer 21 is stacked, and the electric heating film terminal 4 and the signal line 5 of the temperature sensor 3 pass through the carrier layer 23 in the normal direction; thus, the assembly is obtained.

[0068] (10) The internal air of the assembly is removed by vacuuming, and then the assembly is subjected to heating and pressure co-curing molding treatment to obtain a composite material anti-icing component with electric heating anti-icing performance.

[0069] Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this invention. The descriptions of the above embodiments are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this invention. Furthermore, those skilled in the art will recognize that, based on the ideas of this invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this invention.
