[0030] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only intended to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0031] The embodiment of the present application provides a method for determining the minimum film thickness of an intermediate coating, which can solve the problem in the related art that the process of determining the film thickness of the intermediate coating is time-consuming and costly.

[0032] like Figure 1As shown, the method for determining the minimum film thickness of the intermediate coating of this embodiment specifically includes the steps of:

[0033] S1. Prepare paint film samples with different intermediate coating thicknesses and measure the transmittance of ultraviolet and visible light in a preset wavelength band for each paint film sample.

[0034] The number of samples of the paint film is at least 3, and the thickness of the intermediate coating layer ranges from 6 to 20 microns.

[0035] S2. Select a set wavelength and multiple non-connected wavelength intervals from the above-mentioned preset wavelength band, and obtain the transmittance of the above-mentioned set wavelength and the average transmittance of each wavelength interval.

[0036] In this embodiment, the transmittance of each paint film sample at a set wavelength and the average transmittance in each wavelength range need to be obtained respectively.

[0037] S3. Obtain the transmittance at a set wavelength and the average value of each average transmittance for each paint film sample, use the logarithm of the above average value as the independent variable, and use the intermediate coating thickness as the dependent variable to construct an intermediate coating thickness model and obtain the model parameters.

[0038] S4. According to the maximum transmittance limit of the set wavelength, the maximum transmittance limit of each wavelength range, and the model parameters, the minimum film thickness corresponding to the set wavelength and each wavelength range is obtained respectively, and the product of the maximum value of each minimum film thickness and the safety factor is used as the minimum film thickness of the intermediate coating.

[0039] In this embodiment, before the above step S4, the following steps are further included: obtaining the maximum transmittance limit of the set wavelength and the maximum transmittance limit of each wavelength range.

[0040] Optionally, the maximum transmittance limit of the set wavelength and the maximum transmittance limit of each wavelength range can be set according to actual needs.

[0041] In this embodiment, the safety factor is greater than or equal to 1. Preferably, the safety factor is 1.2.

[0042] The determination method of this embodiment is to prepare paint film samples with different intermediate coating film thicknesses, and measure the transmittance of ultraviolet and visible light of each paint film sample in a preset band, so as to select a set wavelength and multiple non-connected wavelength intervals from the preset band, and obtain the transmittance of the set wavelength and the average transmittance of each wavelength interval; then, obtain the transmittance of the set wavelength and the average value of each average transmittance under each paint film sample, and construct an intermediate coating film thickness model with the logarithm of the average value as the independent variable and the intermediate coating film thickness as the dependent variable, and obtain the model parameters; then, according to the maximum transmittance limit of the set wavelength, the maximum transmittance limit of each wavelength interval, and the model parameters, the minimum film thickness corresponding to the set wavelength and each wavelength interval can be obtained, and the product of the maximum value of each minimum film thickness and the safety factor is used as the minimum film thickness of the intermediate coating. Since the transmittance of ultraviolet and visible light of the paint film sample is directly measured and the set wavelength and the minimum film thickness corresponding to each wavelength range are determined by the model parameters of the constructed intermediate coating film thickness model, the maximum value of each minimum film thickness can be selected and multiplied by the safety factor to obtain the minimum film thickness of the intermediate coating. This not only makes the determination process simple and feasible, but also greatly reduces the determination time and saves the determination cost.

[0043] Based on the first embodiment, in this embodiment, the intermediate coating thickness model is:

[0044]

[0045] Wherein, D is the thickness of the intermediate coating; is the average value of the transmittance at the set wavelength and each average transmittance; is the logarithm of the mean; a and b are model parameters. Preferably, the logarithm of the mean is the logarithm with base 10, i.e.

[0046] On the basis of the above embodiment, in this embodiment, the intermediate coating thickness model is constructed, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0047] A curve of the logarithm of the intermediate coating film thickness and the average value is constructed, and the model parameters of the intermediate coating film thickness model are determined by the least squares method to obtain the intermediate coating film thickness model.

[0048] Based on the above embodiment, in this embodiment, in the above step S4, obtaining the minimum film thickness corresponding to the set wavelength or any wavelength range specifically includes the following steps:

[0049] Multiply the maximum transmittance limit of the set wavelength or the maximum transmittance limit of any wavelength range by 100, subtract it from b, and take the quotient of the difference and a as the minimum film thickness corresponding to the set wavelength or the wavelength range. That is, the minimum film thickness corresponding to the set wavelength or each wavelength range is:

[0050] (mb) / a

[0051] Here, m is the maximum transmittance limit of the set wavelength or the product of the maximum transmittance limit of each wavelength range and 100.

[0052] In this embodiment, based on the model parameters of the above model and the transmittance of the set wavelength or wavelength range, the minimum film thickness requirement corresponding to the set wavelength or each wavelength range can be determined, and the optimal minimum film thickness can be quickly found.

[0053] Specifically, when obtaining the minimum film thickness corresponding to the set wavelength, the maximum transmittance limit of the set wavelength is multiplied by 100 and then subtracted from b, and the obtained difference is divided by a to obtain the minimum film thickness corresponding to the set wavelength.

[0054] Specifically, to obtain the minimum film thickness corresponding to any wavelength range, multiply the maximum transmittance limit for that wavelength range by 100, subtract the result from b, and divide the resulting difference by a to obtain the minimum film thickness corresponding to that wavelength range. Similarly, the minimum film thickness corresponding to each other wavelength range can be obtained in sequence.

[0055] Based on the above embodiment, in this embodiment, in the above step S1, preparing the paint film sample specifically includes the following steps:

[0056] First, a transparent polytetrafluoroethylene sheet was fixed on the steel plate, and the edge of the transparent polytetrafluoroethylene sheet was masked with a high-temperature resistant tape.

[0057] Then, after spraying the intermediate coating and the topcoat in sequence, the paint film is dried and peeled off from the transparent polytetrafluoroethylene sheet to obtain a paint film sample.

[0058] In this embodiment, the intermediate coating and topcoat can be sprayed according to the normal painting process, and dried according to the normal process requirements to form a paint film.

[0059] Among them, the topcoat, also known as the final coat, is the last layer of paint applied in a multi-layer coating. The topcoat should have good resistance to external conditions, must have the necessary color and decorative properties, and protect the base coat. Topcoats used outdoors should be selected from coatings with excellent weather resistance. The decorative effect and weather resistance of the topcoat depend not only on the paint base used, but also on the pigment used and the formulation process. In the present embodiment, the thickness of the above-mentioned intermediate coating ranges from 6 to 20 microns.

[0060] Based on actual needs, preferably, the above preset band is 290-600 nanometers.

[0061] Furthermore, among the multiple non-connected wavelength intervals, the maximum value of at least one wavelength interval is smaller than the set wavelength.

[0062] Preferably, the set wavelength is 400 nanometers, and the multiple non-connected wavelength intervals are 301-320 nanometers, 401-430 nanometers, 431-450 nanometers, and 451-470 nanometers.

[0063] Optionally, the set wavelength is 400 nanometers, and the multiple non-connected wavelength intervals are 301-320 nanometers, 351-370 nanometers, 431-450 nanometers, and 451-470 nanometers.

[0064] In other embodiments, the set wavelength is 400 nanometers, and the multiple non-connected wavelength intervals may be 301-320 nanometers, 401-430 nanometers, 431-450 nanometers, and 471-490 nanometers.

[0065] Based on the above embodiment, in this embodiment, in the above step S1, measuring the transmittance of ultraviolet and visible light of any paint film sample in a preset wavelength band specifically includes:

[0066] The transmittance of the paint film sample in the ultraviolet / visible light band of 290-600 nm was measured using an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer, with measurement taken every 2 nm, an integration time of 3 seconds, and a slit width of 4 nm. The transmittance values ​​A1-A155 of the paint film sample were obtained.

[0067] In this embodiment, an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer is used to measure the transmittance of ultraviolet and visible light through the paint mid-coat, and a mathematical model is constructed to analyze the measurement results and calculate the minimum film thickness of the paint mid-coat, thereby realizing a short process for determining the optimal film thickness of the mid-coat.

[0068] A UV-visible spectrophotometer consists of a power supply, monochromator, absorption cell, detector, and signal processor. The light source is responsible for providing a stable, continuous spectrum of sufficient intensity. Hydrogen or deuterium lamps are typically used in the UV region, while tungsten or halogen lamps are typically used in the visible region. The monochromator decomposes the composite light emitted by the light source and separates monochromatic light of the desired wavelength. Measurements in the visible region are performed using a glass absorption cell, while measurements in the UV region require a quartz absorption cell. The detector detects the intensity of the transmitted light using a photoelectric conversion element, converting the optical signal into an electrical signal.

[0069] Visible light is the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that can be perceived by the human eye, and the visible spectrum does not have a precise range. The wavelength of electromagnetic waves that can be perceived by the average human eye is between 400 and 760nm, and some people can perceive electromagnetic waves with wavelengths between approximately 380 and 780nm.

[0070] Ultraviolet (UV) is the general term for radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum with a frequency of 750 THz to 30 PHz, corresponding to a wavelength of 400 to 10 nm in a vacuum. UV light cannot cause vision and is invisible light with a higher frequency than blue-violet light. Ultraviolet light can be divided into four types: UVA, UVB, UVC, and EUV. UVA is low-frequency, long-wave ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 400 to 320 nm; UVB is medium-frequency, medium-wave ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 320 to 280 nm; UVC is high-frequency, short-wave ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 280 to 100 nm; and EUV is ultra-high-frequency ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 100 to 10 nm.

[0071] The method for determining the minimum film thickness of the intermediate coating layer of this embodiment can be applied to determining the minimum film thickness of the intermediate coating layer on the paint surface of an automobile.

[0072] Specifically, taking the case where the thickness of the intermediate coating is in the range of 6-20 microns, the preset wavelength is in the range of 290-600 nanometers, and the safety factor is 1.2 as an example, the method for determining the minimum thickness of the intermediate coating in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0073] First, prepare a paint film sample: a 50mm*40mm*0.2mm transparent PTFE sheet is fixed to a steel plate. The edge of the transparent PTFE sheet is masked by approximately 10mm with high-temperature resistant tape. An intermediate coat and topcoat are sprayed sequentially according to the normal painting process. The basecoat and clearcoat are sprayed to the required film thickness. The paint film is then dried according to the normal process to form a paint film. After drying, the paint film is peeled off the transparent PTFE sheet in one piece. Five samples with different intermediate coat film thicknesses are prepared.

[0074] Each paint film sample was then tested for transmittance: a UV-visible spectrophotometer was used to measure the transmittance of each sample in the 290-600 nm band, with measurements taken every 2 nm, an integration time of 3 seconds, and a slit width of 4 nm. Transmittance values ​​A1-A155 for each paint film sample were obtained. For each paint film sample, the transmittance at 400 nm, the average transmittance at 301-320 nm, the average transmittance at 401-430 nm, the average transmittance at 431-450 nm, and the average transmittance at 451-470 nm were obtained.

[0075] The average transmittance from 301 to 320 nanometers is the average of the transmittances at 302, 304, 306, 308, 310, 312, 314, 316, 318, and 320 nanometers. The average transmittance from 401 to 430 nanometers is the average of the transmittances at 402, 404, 406, 408, 410, 412, 414, 416, 418, and 420 nanometers.

[0076] By analogy, the average transmittance between 431 and 450 nanometers and the average transmittance between 451 and 470 nanometers are obtained.

[0077] In this embodiment, the maximum transmittance of the intermediate coating at 400 nanometers is limited to 0.025%, the maximum transmittance at 301-320 nanometers is limited to 0.025%, the maximum transmittance at 401-430 nanometers is limited to 0.15%, the maximum transmittance at 431-450 nanometers is limited to 0.142, and the maximum transmittance at 451-470 nanometers is limited to 0.221%.

[0078] Finally, analysis and calculation were performed: for each paint film sample, the average transmittance at 400 nm, the average transmittance at 301-320 nm, the average transmittance at 401-430 nm, the average transmittance at 431-450 nm, and the average transmittance at 451-470 nm were calculated, and the logarithm of the average was calculated to create a curve of the intermediate coating thickness versus the logarithm. A model for the intermediate coating thickness was constructed to obtain the model parameters a and b, and the minimum film thickness requirements were calculated. The minimum film thickness requirement at 400 nm is (0.025-b) / a; the minimum film thickness requirement at 301-320 nm is (0.025-b) / a; the minimum film thickness requirement at 401-430 nm is (0.15-b) / a; the minimum film thickness requirement at 431-450 nm is (0.142-b) / a; and the minimum film thickness requirement at 451-470 nm is (0.221-b) / a. Take the maximum value of the above five minimum film thickness requirements and multiply it by 1.2 to obtain the minimum film thickness requirement for the intermediate coating of the paint.

[0079] The method for determining minimum film thickness in this embodiment is simple and practical. By preparing paint film samples with varying intermediate coating thicknesses and measuring the transmittance of each paint film sample at a predetermined wavelength, the average of the transmittance at a predetermined wavelength and the average transmittance across each wavelength range is determined for each paint film sample. A model for intermediate coating thickness is constructed using the logarithm of the average as the independent variable and the intermediate coating thickness as the dependent variable, and the model parameters are obtained. Subsequently, based on the maximum transmittance limit at the predetermined wavelength, the maximum transmittance limit for each wavelength range, and the model parameters, the minimum film thickness corresponding to the predetermined wavelength and each wavelength range is determined. The product of the maximum value of these minimum film thicknesses and a safety factor is used as the minimum film thickness of the intermediate coating. By directly measuring the transmittance of visible light and ultraviolet light through the paint coating to test the paint coating's resistance to visible light and ultraviolet light, and establishing a mathematical model for intermediate coating thickness, the method allows for a short-term determination of the required minimum film thickness for the paint intermediate coating. The entire determination process can be controlled within eight hours, significantly reducing the time and cost of determining the minimum film thickness.
