AI Technical Summary
The current rubber V-belt production process uses gasoline in the impregnation process, which leads to high costs, significant safety hazards, and short service life due to frictional heat generation.
Using specific specifications of canvas and specific formulation of rubber compound, the calendered rubber is calendered onto the canvas to form a covering layer, avoiding the use of gasoline. Combined with differential calendering technology, it ensures that the rubber compound is evenly covered and penetrates into the canvas mesh, forming a covering layer with high adhesive strength.
It reduces production costs, minimizes safety hazards, improves the service life of rubber V-belts and the energy efficiency of the transmission system, and reduces frictional heat generation and cracking/deformation.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to rubber V-belts, and more specifically to a safe and economical method for producing rubber V-belts and the rubber V-belts produced by this method. Background Technology
[0002] V-belts (triangular belts) are trapezoidal cross-section annular transmission belts widely used in agriculture, chemical industry, machinery, construction, and other fields. V-belts come in various forms, including cloth-covered belts and slit-edge belts. Cloth-covered V-belts consist of a cloth layer, a skeleton layer, a top rubber layer, and a bottom rubber layer. The skeleton layer, bottom rubber layer, and top rubber layer work together to give the V-belt good mechanical properties, while the cloth layer protects the V-belt substrate from external environmental pollution, corrosion, and wear. In current technology, the cloth layer is mostly prepared using an impregnation process. A cloth adhesive is mixed with gasoline in a certain proportion to create an impregnation adhesive, which is then used to impregnate the canvas. Making the impregnation adhesive requires a large amount of gasoline, and with rising gasoline prices, the production cost of the cloth layer has increased. Furthermore, gasoline evaporation during the impregnation process poses a safety hazard. After the impregnated canvas dries, the outer layer is coated with rubber, resulting in significant temperature rise due to friction during V-belt use, thus shortening the service life of the rubber V-belt. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a safe and economical method for producing rubber V-belts. It utilizes canvas of specific specifications and a specific rubber compound formulation, employing calendering technology to calender the rubber onto the canvas to form a covering layer. This eliminates the need for gasoline, saving costs, reducing safety hazards during production, and extending the service life of the rubber V-belt. Correspondingly, this invention also provides a rubber V-belt produced using this safe and economical method.
[0004] Regarding the production method, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0005] A safe and economical method for producing rubber V-belts includes the following steps:
[0006] S1. Weigh the raw materials according to the following parts by weight: 100 parts chloroprene rubber, 4-6 parts zinc oxide, 3-5 parts stearic acid, 6-9 parts PMMA dispersant, 2-4 parts phenolic resin, 10-12 parts silica, 5-8 parts aromatic oil, 2-5 parts paraffin oil, 0.2-0.5 parts CBS accelerator, 2-4 parts sulfur, and 2-5 parts antioxidant RD.
[0007] S2, add chloroprene rubber, zinc oxide, stearic acid, dispersant, phenolic resin, silica, paraffin oil, accelerator, sulfur, and antioxidant into an internal mixer, mix for 3-5 minutes, control the temperature at 110-120℃, control the sheet thickness at 2.0±0.1mm, and cool the sheet for 8-10 hours to obtain the compound rubber for later use.
[0008] S3, Take the compound rubber obtained in step S2, and extrude the compound rubber into shape through a cold-feed rubber extruder to obtain the top rubber and the isosceles trapezoidal bottom rubber for later use.
[0009] S4. Take the compound rubber obtained in step S2 and add it together with the aromatic oil into the internal mixer and mix for 80-100 seconds. Control the sheet thickness to 1.0±0.1mm to obtain calendered rubber. Feed the calendered rubber and canvas into the calender. Adjust the rollers. The upper and middle rollers stretch the calendered rubber to the required thickness. Then, calender the calendered rubber onto the canvas surface in the lower and middle rollers to obtain the covering layer for later use.
[0010] S5, on the coating machine, the base adhesive, top adhesive and skeleton layer are bonded together to form a matrix, and then transferred to the molding and wrapping machine, with the adhesive side of the wrapping layer facing inward, to wrap the matrix and form a strip blank. The strip blank is then installed on the mold and vulcanized.
[0011] Furthermore, as an optimized solution, in the aforementioned safe and economical rubber V-belt production method, in step S1, the raw materials weighed by weight include: 100 parts of chloroprene rubber, 5 parts of zinc oxide, 4 parts of stearic acid, 8 parts of dispersant PMMA, 3 parts of phenolic resin, 11 parts of silica, 7 parts of aromatic oil, 4 parts of paraffin oil, 0.3 parts of accelerator CBS, 3 parts of sulfur, and 4 parts of antioxidant.
[0012] Furthermore, as an optimization, in the aforementioned safe and economical rubber V-belt production method, in step S4, the canvas width is 86±1cm and the thickness is 0.55±0.05mm.
[0013] Furthermore, as an optimization, in the aforementioned safe and economical rubber V-belt production method, the warp density of the canvas is 155±5 threads / 10cm, and the weft density is 150±5 threads / 10cm.
[0014] Furthermore, as an optimization, in the aforementioned safe and economical rubber V-belt production method, the skeleton layer is polyester tempered brown filament.
[0015] Furthermore, as an optimization scheme, in the aforementioned safe and economical rubber V-belt production method, in step S4, during calendering, the upper roller temperature is 100-110℃, the middle roller temperature is 65-70℃, the lower roller temperature is 85-95℃, the roller gap is 6±1mm, the main roller linear speed is 10-15m / min, and the roller speed ratio is 1:(1-1.5):1.
[0016] Furthermore, as an optimization, in the aforementioned safe and economical rubber V-belt production method, the vulcanization temperature in step S5 is 150-160℃, and the vulcanization time is 30-40 minutes.
[0017] For rubber V-belt products, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: the rubber V-belt is produced by the above-mentioned safe and economical rubber V-belt production method.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the above-mentioned technical solution of the present invention achieves the following beneficial technical effects: Using canvas of specific specifications, differential calendering technology is used to calender the calendered rubber onto one side of the canvas, allowing the calendered rubber to evenly cover the canvas and penetrate into the mesh of the canvas, ensuring the bonding strength after vulcanization. No gasoline is needed, saving production costs and reducing safety hazards during production. The calendered overlay layer has good adhesion performance, can tightly wrap with the substrate, and is not prone to cracking or deformation during product use. Furthermore, since the overlay layer is calendered and coated on one side, without a rubber layer on the outer surface, friction is reduced and temperature rise is lowered during use, improving the service life of the rubber V-belt and effectively reducing the energy consumption of the transmission system. Correspondingly, the present invention also discloses a safe and economical rubber V-belt production method, resulting in a rubber V-belt with low manufacturing cost, long service life, and effective reduction of energy consumption in the transmission system during use.
