Nylon has excellent performance and many excellent characteristics that cannot be compared with many metal materials. It is widely used in various fields at home and abroad, replacing the metal materials used in many products, and the market share has increased significantly.

[0003] A quick - connect fitting is a fitting that can quickly achieve the connection or disconnection of pipelines. It is a widely used component in the mechanical equipment industry, and its constituent materials are generally divided into plastics, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, etc. Nylon tubes have corrosion resistance, long service life, lower cost than metal tubes, and are easy to install, reliable, and beautiful by themselves, and are widely used in quick - connect fittings.

[0004] However, due to the characteristics of the nylon molecular structure, not only is the flame retardancy poor, but also its hydrophilicity is strong, resulting in a significant decline in the strength, toughness, and mechanical strength of nylon pipes. At the same time, nylon tubes also have the defect of being easily bent and deformed, unable to meet the requirements of mass production, and are prone to brittle fracture during long - term use, unable to meet the requirements of industries with high reliability requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the deficiencies existing in the prior art, and to provide a high - stability nylon tube quick - connect fitting material and a preparation method thereof.

[0006] A high - stability nylon tube quick - connect fitting material, the raw materials of which by mass fraction include: 50 - 100 parts of nylon 12, 5 - 10 parts of nylon 66, 1 - 3 parts of graphene oxide, 5 - 10 parts of styrene, 2 - 5 parts of maleic anhydride, 0.1 - 0.2 parts of initiator, 5 - 10 parts of polyethylene, 1 - 2 parts of polyethylene - maleic anhydride, 1 - 2 parts of triphenyl phosphite, 1 - 2 parts of lubricant, 1 - 2 parts of waterproof agent, and 1 - 2 parts of antioxidant.

[0007] Preferably, the initiator is azobisisobutyronitrile.

[0008] Preferably, the lubricant is at least one of butyl stearate, ethylene bisstearamide, liquid paraffin, polyethylene wax, and polypropylene wax.

[0009] Preferably, the waterproof agent is at least one of aluminum hydroxide, polysiloxane, glass microspheres, and calcium stearate.

[0010] Preferably, the antioxidant is at least one of antioxidant 1010, antioxidant 168, and antioxidant 1076.

[0011] The preparation method of the above high-stability nylon tube quick-insert joint material includes the following steps:

[0012] S1. Add graphene oxide and styrene to a solvent, ultrasonically treat for 10 - 30 min, add maleic anhydride and an initiator thereto, stir at 60 - 80 °C for 1 - 2 h, remove the solvent, wash, and vacuum dry to obtain a graphene-styrene graft;

[0013] S2. Add nylon 66 to a formic acid solution, stir at 60 - 70 °C for 1 - 2 h, add the graphene-styrene graft thereto and stir for 10 - 30 min, cool down to -50 to -80 °C, freeze for 1 - 2 h, vacuum dry for 20 - 30 h with a vacuum degree of 10 - 50 Pa to obtain pretreated nylon 66;

[0014] S3. Blend nylon 12 and pretreated nylon 66, extrude and pelletize, and dry; then add polyethylene, polyethylene-maleic anhydride, triphenyl phosphite, a lubricant, a waterproof agent, and an antioxidant, and melt-extrude and draw into shape.

[0015] Preferably, in S1, the ultrasonic frequency is 5 - 10 kHz.

[0016] Preferably, in S1, the solvent is toluene or xylene.

[0017] Preferably, in S3, the melting temperature is 200 - 230 °C.

[0018] Preferably, in S3, during the drawing and forming process, the draw ratio is 1.1 - 1.2, and the sizing sleeve is evacuated to 0.01 - 0.05 MPa.

[0019] Beneficial effects:

[0020] If graphene oxide is directly added to nylon resin, it is very easy to exist in the form of stress concentration point defects, thus greatly reducing the strength and flame retardant performance of the product.

[0021] However, in the present invention, by preparing the graphene-styrene graft, the agglomeration phenomenon of graphene oxide can be effectively avoided, and the interfacial interaction between graphene oxide and the nylon matrix can be improved, enhancing the mechanical properties of the composite material. At the same time, the graphene-styrene graft can combine with nylon 66 to form a three-dimensional aerogel structure, which has good dispersibility with nylon 12 and high mutual bonding strength, and the mechanical properties of the product are excellent.

[0022] The present invention uses graphene oxide in combination with styrene and maleic anhydride, and grafts them on the surface of graphene through free radical polymerization, which can greatly improve the interfacial compatibility between graphene oxide and nylon 66. After nylon 66 is dissolved and combined with the graphene-styrene graft, due to the rich carboxyl groups in the graphene-styrene graft, it can have a strong interaction with the amide groups of nylon 66, and the combination effect of the two is good. The pretreated nylon 66 formed by freezing treatment has a three-dimensional aerogel structure. When combined with nylon 12, when subjected to external force, it can effectively transfer the load, significantly improve the bending performance of the product, and at the same time has excellent impact performance. When subjected to external force, it will effectively undergo flexible deformation, and the toughening effect is excellent.

[0023] The present invention uses freeze setting to coat nylon 66 on the graphite oxide sheet layer structure. Even at low filling amounts, a stable flame retardant layer can be formed, better exerting the flame retardant effect of the carbon layer. At the same time, it can be evenly dispersed in the nylon resin matrix, greatly improving the mechanical properties of the product; and the regular graphite oxide sheet layer structure increases the carbon layer area after combustion, and cooperates with triphenyl phosphate to dehydrate and catalyze carbon formation, with a significant barrier effect and excellent fire prevention performance of the product.

[0024] Polyethylene can effectively improve the fluidity of nylon. In combination with the graphene-styrene graft, it effectively improves the compatibility between nylon and polyethylene, not only enhancing the toughness of the pipe body, but also improving the fluidity and melt compatibility of the system, and can smoothly extrude nylon pipes, and the products have good molding stability.

[0025] The present invention pretreats nylon 66 and then compounds it with nylon 12, polyethylene, polyethylene-maleic anhydride, triphenyl phosphate, etc. After molding, the oxygen index of the product can not only reach more than 38.6%, and the flame retardant grade can reach the V-0 grade of UL-94. At the same time, it has high mechanical strength and is not prone to brittle fracture during long-term use. Moreover, the process is simple, the reaction conditions are mild, and it is suitable for large-scale industrial production. Description of the Drawings

In the present invention, graphene oxide is combined with styrene and maleic anhydride, and grafted on the surface of graphene through free radical polymerization, which can greatly improve the interfacial compatibility between graphene oxide and nylon 66. After nylon 66 is dissolved and combined with the graphene-styrene grafts, since the graphene-styrene grafts contain rich carboxyl groups, they have strong interaction with the amide groups of nylon 66, and the combination effect of the two is good. The pretreated nylon 66 formed by freezing treatment has a three-dimensional aerogel structure. When combined with nylon 12, when subjected to external force, the load can be effectively transferred, significantly improving the bending performance of the product, and at the same time, the impact performance is excellent. When subjected to external force, it will effectively undergo flexible deformation, and the toughening effect is excellent. In the present invention, nylon 66 is coated on the graphene oxide sheet layer structure by freeze setting, and a stable flame retardant layer can be formed even at a low filling amount, better exerting the flame retardant effect of the carbon layer, and at the same time, it can be evenly dispersed in the nylon resin matrix, greatly improving the mechanical properties of the product; and the regular graphene oxide sheet layer structure increases the area of the carbon layer after combustion, and cooperates with triphenyl phosphate to dehydrate and catalyze carbon formation, and the barrier effect is significant, and the fire prevention performance of the product is excellent.
