Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of technology, and in particular to a process for preparing a coating-type color-changing TPU film. Background Technology
[0002] Patent CN109868073A discloses a color-changing film with self-healing function, which is composed of a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, a color coating layer, a thermoplastic polyurethane film, and a thermosetting polyurethane coating layer stacked from bottom to top. Patent CN114163940A discloses a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer color-changing film and its preparation method, which includes a first release film layer, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, a first substrate layer, a color layer, and a second substrate layer from top to bottom. In the color-changing films of the above patents, the color adhesive layer and the TPU film are directly bonded, but the bonding effect between the two is relatively weak, and they are prone to detachment, which affects the overall performance of the color-changing film.
[0003] In the existing TPU color-changing film manufacturing process, the coating equipment mostly uses a scraper to remove excess coating from the film surface to solve the problem of uneven coating. However, over long-term use, residual material gradually accumulates on the scraper, requiring periodic shutdowns for cleaning to ensure the machine remains clean, thus reducing production efficiency and continuous operating time. Furthermore, due to the uneven coating problem, the scraping force also needs to be adjusted accordingly. Existing equipment struggles to monitor waste accumulation in real time and automatically adjust the scraping force as needed, hindering intelligent waste handling and equipment management. Improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.
[0005] Therefore, to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a coating-type color-changing TPU film preparation process, which uses a preparation device including a main body, a thickness measuring mechanism, a scraping mechanism, and a suction mechanism, and the preparation process includes the following steps:
[0006] S1: TPU precursor is synthesized by polymerizing diisocyanate and polyether polyol, and the synthesized TPU precursor is dissolved in solvent to form TPU solution;
[0007] S2: Mix the repair agent and microcapsule material, add emulsifier, and stir; disperse the mixture in the aqueous phase during stirring to form a microcapsule suspension; filter, wash the microcapsule suspension, and dry it to obtain microcapsules encapsulated with the repair agent;
[0008] S3: Add color-changing molecules and microcapsules to the TPU solution, unwind the TPU film through the unwinding roller, and then coat the TPU solution evenly on the flat film through the coating nozzle; the coated film is pressed by the unwinding pressure roller and then conveyed to the drying guide roller, and then enters the drying oven for drying and curing.
[0009] S31: When the film passes between the unwinding pressure roller and the drying guide roller, the measuring roller comes into contact with the coating on the film surface. When the coating is thick, the measuring roller moves backward and pushes the adjusting linkage to rotate through the measuring push rod.
[0010] S32: While the top of the adjusting rod rotates, it pushes the scraper rod to press down the first spring. The scraper rod drives the adaptive scraper to slide horizontally on the scraper guide rail and gradually approach the film. The scraping force is adjusted, and the scraper part scrapes the coating on the film to the receiving part.
[0011] S33: When the measuring roller moves backward, the adjusting rod moves away from the film, and the length of the second spring is extended, causing the suction rod to push the piston cylinder to move in the same direction. At the same time, the sensor sends a signal to the controller to start the first motor, which drives the eccentric wheel to rotate. The eccentric wheel drives the telescopic rod to rotate, and the third spring on the telescopic rod pushes the movable rod to move upward in the telescopic cylinder, so that the displacement of the telescopic rod in the piston cylinder becomes longer, the suction force increases, and it can meet the needs of scraping off excessively thick coatings. The longer telescopic rod pushes the telescopic piston rod to move in the piston cylinder, creating a negative pressure environment in the piston cylinder, and then sucking the coating on the receiving part into the collection tank through the suction hole.
[0012] S34: Repeat the above steps to detect the thickness of the coating, and adjust the scraping force and suction force of the coating in real time to improve the flexibility and practicality of the equipment.
[0013] S35: After the film processing is completed, turn on the power of the second motor so that the second motor drives the ball screw to rotate. The ball screw is connected to the adjusting slide through mechanical transmission to control the adaptive bracket to move backward, so that the scraping mechanism and the suction mechanism are moved backward and the thickness measuring mechanism is exposed.
[0014] S4: Place the TPU film in various stimulating environments such as temperature, light, or pressure to test and characterize the TPU film and evaluate its dynamic color change and self-healing properties.

[0055] S3: Add color-changing molecules and microcapsules to the TPU solution, unwind the TPU film through the unwinding roller 101, and then uniformly coat the TPU solution onto the flat film through the coating nozzle 106; the coated film is rolled by the unwinding pressure roller 102 and then conveyed to the drying guide roller 103, and then enters the drying box 105 for drying and curing.
[0056] S31: When the film passes between the unwinding pressure roller 102 and the drying guide roller 103, the measuring roller 201 contacts the coating on the film surface. When the coating is thick, the measuring roller 201 moves backward and pushes the adjusting linkage 203 to rotate through the measuring push rod 202.
