Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of aluminum alloy frames, and in particular relates to a forming process of an aluminum alloy frame for new energy vehicles. Background Art

[0002] New energy vehicles (NEVs) use unconventional automotive fuels as their power source and integrate advanced technologies in vehicle power control and drive to create vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and new structures. New energy vehicles include four major types: hybrid electric vehicles, pure electric vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles, and other new energy vehicles.

[0003] Pure electric vehicles rely entirely on power batteries as their power source. With the popularization of new energy vehicles, it has also driven the rapid development of related industries, especially battery manufacturers. The power batteries of new energy vehicles are mainly lithium batteries. However, if lithium batteries are severely squeezed or punctured during transportation, storage and use, they may cause leakage, leakage, and short circuits, which can easily cause property damage or personal injury. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety and airtightness of lithium batteries, the lithium battery pack needs to be protected by an outer shell. The high-strength battery pack aluminum alloy frame can greatly increase the structural strength of the lithium battery pack. However, an overly complex structure not only increases the weight of the vehicle body, but also affects the heat dissipation effect of the battery pack. In order to simultaneously ensure its mechanical strength and heat dissipation effect, a new energy vehicle aluminum alloy frame forming process is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a new energy vehicle aluminum alloy frame forming process to solve the problems in the background technology.

[0005] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A new energy vehicle aluminum alloy frame forming process includes the following steps:

[0007] Step 1: After homogenizing the aluminum alloy ingot, place the aluminum alloy ingot in the extrusion die of the extrusion equipment, quench while hot after extrusion molding, so that the temperature of the quenched aluminum alloy profile is ≤80°C, and obtain aluminum alloy profiles of different specifications.

[0008] The specific settings for extrusion molding are: the heating temperature of the extrusion die is 500-520°C, the die mouth temperature is 480-490°C, and the extrusion speed is 2.5-3 mm / s.

[0009] Different types of aluminum alloy profiles include a lower base plate, a first frame plate, a second frame plate, a first connecting piece, a second connecting piece, a reinforcing piece and a connecting plate.

[0010] The aluminum alloy ingot used is of type 6061-T6 but is not limited to 6061-T6.

[0011] Step 2: Place aluminum alloy profiles of different specifications in a heating furnace, keep them at 160-170℃ for 7.5-8.5h, and naturally cool them to room temperature to complete the thermal aging treatment.

[0012] Step 3: Scald the aluminum alloy profile after heat aging treatment with 90-95℃ clean water for 2-3 times, then blow dry with air knife, immerse the aluminum alloy profile in degreasing cleaning agent for ultrasonic cleaning for 15-20 minutes, wash with clean water 1-2 times, then immerse in alkaline etching agent for ultrasonic cleaning for 5-10 minutes, wash with clean water 2-3 times and blow dry with air knife to complete the pretreatment of aluminum alloy profile.

[0013] Step 4: Immerse the pretreated aluminum alloy profile in the electrolyte, use the aluminum alloy profile as the anode, anodize for 15-20 minutes at a voltage of 10-12V, wash with clean water 2-3 times, and blow dry with an air knife to complete the anodizing treatment of the aluminum alloy profile.

[0014] The electrolyte comprises a sulfuric acid solution with a mass fraction of 15%, salicylic acid and isopentyl glycol, and the usage ratio of the sulfuric acid solution, salicylic acid and isopentyl glycol is 100 mL: 2.5-3 g: 0.1-0.2 g.

[0015] Step 5: Add fluorine-modified graphite to the epoxy resin, stir at 1200-1500 r / min for 20-30 minutes, then add a curing agent and continue stirring under the same conditions for 2-3 minutes to obtain an epoxy adhesive; after impregnating the carbon fiber cloth with the epoxy adhesive, press 8-12 layers of carbon fiber cloth with a mold to obtain a carbon fiber corrugated board.

[0016] The usage ratio of epoxy resin, fluorine-containing modified graphite and curing agent is 20g:10-15g:0.1g.

[0017] The curing agent is one of triethylenetetramine and tetraethylenepentamine.

[0018] Step six: Use epoxy adhesive to glue a carbon fiber corrugated plate to every two connecting plates to obtain an energy-absorbing baffle; weld the first frame plate and the second frame plate to obtain a panel, weld the panel and the lower base plate, and then weld the first connecting piece to the lower edge of the first frame plate, weld a pair of second connecting pieces to the lower edge of the second frame plate, weld the reinforcement at a right angle between the first frame plate and the first connecting piece, and finally weld the energy-absorbing baffle inside the panel, and weld the two ends of the energy-absorbing baffle to the corresponding first frame plates respectively, and weld the energy-absorbing baffle to the lower base plate near the edge of the lower base plate; after grinding the weld to make it regular, an aluminum alloy frame is obtained, and the forming process of the aluminum alloy frame for new energy vehicles is completed.

[0019] Furthermore, the angle of the carbon fiber corrugated plate is A, 50°≤A≤60°.

[0020] Furthermore, fluorine-modified graphite is prepared by the following steps:

[0021] Step S1: dispersing the layered graphite in a Tris-HCl aqueous solution with a molar concentration of 10 mmol / L, and then ultrasonically dispersing it in an ice bath for 20-30 minutes. Then, adding dopamine hydrochloride and continuing ultrasonically dispersing it for 10-15 minutes. Then, raising the temperature to 25-30° C. and keeping it warm for 20-24 hours to allow the dopamine hydrochloride to polymerize and coat the layered graphite. Centrifuging, washing the precipitate with anhydrous ethanol for 3-5 times, and vacuum drying at 60° C. to obtain modified graphite.

[0022] Step S2: ultrasonically disperse the modified graphite with anhydrous ethanol, then add 4-(trifluoromethyl)benzylamine, continue ultrasonic dispersion for 10-15 minutes, then stir at 25-30° C. and 1000-1500 r / min for 20-24 hours, centrifuge, wash the precipitate with anhydrous ethanol 2-3 times, and vacuum dry at 60° C. to obtain fluorine-containing modified graphite.

[0023] Furthermore, the ratio of the layered graphite, the Tris-HCl aqueous solution and the dopamine hydrochloride is 5 g:100 mL:0.5-1 g.

[0024] Furthermore, the usage ratio of the modified graphite and 4-(trifluoromethyl)benzylamine is 40 g:1 g.

[0025] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0026] The present invention's aluminum alloy frame forming process for new energy vehicles first prepares aluminum alloy profiles of varying specifications from aluminum alloy ingots. Compared to integral press forming, this process requires less equipment and facilitates practical production. Parameter optimization during the processing of the aluminum alloy profiles helps enhance their mechanical properties.

[0027] The present invention coats layered graphite through dopamine self-polymerization, which helps to increase the dispersion performance of fluorine-modified graphite in epoxy resin and the impact strength of epoxy adhesive. After reactive grafting with 4-(trifluoromethyl)benzylamine, the heat resistance and thermal conductivity of fluorine-modified graphite can be increased. The prepared carbon fiber corrugated plate has better mechanical strength. After being compounded with a connecting plate to prepare an energy-absorbing partition, it not only plays a good barrier role between battery packs, but the carbon fiber corrugated plate is bonded to the connecting plate through the epoxy adhesive. Compared with hollow aluminum alloy profiles, it has a larger heat dissipation area and better thermal conductivity. It is also beneficial to ensure good heat dissipation performance of the lithium battery pack and provide a good buffering effect when the aluminum alloy frame is impacted.
