Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular to a refrigerator liner and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Refrigerators are common electrical appliances in daily life. They are mainly composed of a box shell, a foaming layer and a refrigerator liner. The interior contains a large amount of plastic, foam and glue, which can slowly release low molecular weight volatile harmful substances (TVOC) with odor. Therefore, a newly purchased refrigerator will have odor emission when it is just unpacked or in daily use. The odor is formaldehyde, benzene, toluene, xylene and other substances, which have a strong irritating odor and have an adverse effect on the human body. During the daily use of the refrigerator, the odor substances continue to evaporate slowly, which has an adverse effect on the food quality and users inside the refrigerator. In particular, the odor of a newly purchased refrigerator is more significant when it is just unpacked, and the current technology for removing refrigerator odor cannot effectively solve this problem. For example, patent CN111735255B discloses a method for removing refrigerator odor, which uses the process of closing the refrigerator door to generate airflow, and the flow of airflow can discharge the odor from the refrigerator through a specific pipe; but the structure is relatively complex, the odor removal efficiency is low, and it is difficult to avoid the odor residue before the refrigerator is unpacked. For another example, patent CN113790556B discloses a method for removing odor from a refrigerator. The method utilizes a purification module and a guide fan. The purification substance released by the purification module is blown by the guide fan to achieve the purification effect of the purification substance on the odor. However, the purification module and the guide fan introduced by the method occupy the limited space in the refrigerator, resulting in a decrease in the utilization rate of the refrigerator space, and the use of the guide fan increases the energy consumption of the refrigerator. In addition, the method is also difficult to avoid the residual odor before the refrigerator is unpacked.

[0003] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to avoid occupying the limited space in the refrigerator, the refrigerator liner of the present invention has been studied in depth, and it is found that when polystyrene is used as the base material of the refrigerator liner, polystyrene can be optimized by means of modification, etc., which has great potential in reducing the problem of residual odor in newly purchased refrigerators before unpacking. However, in the actual research and development process, when carbon nanotubes are added to polystyrene, not only can the mechanical properties of polystyrene be effectively increased, but the adsorption capacity of carbon nanotubes for odor is also significantly better than other reinforcing materials (such as carbon nanofibers, amorphous carbon, etc.); but the experiment shows that in order to effectively solve the problem of residual odor in newly purchased refrigerators before unpacking, being able to adsorb odors is still not enough.

[0005] To this end, the present invention further proposes the idea of ​​introducing a functional component that can degrade / eliminate odor into a polystyrene composite material containing carbon nanotubes. A large number of experiments have verified that nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide has excellent photocatalytic properties and can effectively degrade and remove odor components of a newly purchased refrigerator before unpacking; however, when the nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide is used as a functional component in a polystyrene composite material containing carbon nanotubes, the mechanical properties of the composite material are significantly affected. In order to maintain the mechanical properties of the composite material, the addition amount of nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide can only be within 0.01%, which greatly weakens its role in degrading and removing odor components of a newly purchased refrigerator before unpacking.

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a refrigerator liner and a preparation method and application thereof. Specifically, nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide is mainly located inside the pores of carbon nanotubes through a specific method. Through the structural design, it is unexpectedly found that the adsorption effect of the carbon nanotubes on odors in the structure will not be affected, and the structure ensures that when a higher amount of nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide is added, the mechanical properties of the composite material will not decrease significantly, and it is ensured that the nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide located in the carbon nanotubes can also efficiently degrade and remove odor components. The two work synergistically to achieve a balance between the mechanical properties of the refrigerator liner made of the polystyrene composite material and solving the problem of residual odor in a newly purchased refrigerator before unpacking.

[0007] Specifically, the present invention provides a refrigerator liner for removing odor, wherein the refrigerator liner is made of a polystyrene composite material, wherein the polystyrene composite material contains nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide at a mass ratio of more than 0.02% and carbon nanotubes at a mass ratio of less than 4.55%, and the nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide is mainly located inside the pores of the carbon nanotubes for removing odor components in the refrigerator. Preferably, the polystyrene composite material contains nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide at a mass ratio of more than 0.05%, and more preferably contains nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide at a mass ratio of more than 0.1%.

[0008] The polystyrene of the present invention is introduced into a carbon nanotube / titanium dioxide composite with a specific structure. The unique high specific surface area of ​​the carbon nanotube can realize the adsorption of odor molecules in the refrigerator, and the odor molecules can be adsorbed into the interior of the carbon nanotube pipe. The nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide distributed inside the carbon nanotube pipe can realize the catalytic degradation of the odor molecules. The method not only achieves the effect of eliminating the odor components of the newly purchased refrigerator before unpacking, but also continues to remove the odor components during the use of the refrigerator. More importantly, the positional relationship between the carbon nanotube and the nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide overcomes the technical difficulty that the mechanical properties of the polystyrene composite material are significantly reduced when the nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide is added in a high amount, and plays a key role in achieving the balance between the mechanical properties of the refrigerator liner of the polystyrene composite material and solving the problem of odor residue before unpacking the newly purchased refrigerator. The composite material is used to prepare the refrigerator liner, which can improve the mechanical strength of the liner and improve the impact resistance and low temperature resistance of the refrigerator liner during daily use. In addition, the refrigerator liner of the present invention is relative to the traditional refrigerator liner, and the carbon nanotubes introduced therein can also effectively achieve the antibacterial effect on bacteria such as Escherichia coli.

[0018] The carbon nanotube / titanium dioxide composite and polystyrene are used as raw materials to prepare an inner liner to obtain the refrigerator inner liner.

[0019] The preparation method of the refrigerator liner of the present invention is to first prepare a carbon nanotube / titanium dioxide composite, then mix the composite with polystyrene in a certain ratio to obtain a composite material for preparing the refrigerator liner, and finally use the composite material to perform molding processing on the refrigerator liner. By adjusting the mass ratio of the carbon nanotube to the titanium dioxide precursor, a composite with different titanium dioxide loadings in the carbon nanotube can be obtained, and by adjusting the mass ratio of the composite material to polystyrene, a liner with different deodorizing effects, different mechanical strengths and different antibacterial effects can be obtained.

[0021] According to the method for preparing the deodorizing refrigerator liner provided by the present invention, the time for generating titanium dioxide under the condition of an ambient humidity of 90 to 100 RH% is 10 to 30 hours.

[0022] According to the method for preparing the deodorizing refrigerator liner provided by the present invention, the nitrogen-containing atmosphere includes ammonia and / or nitrogen, and the gas flow rate is 1 to 100 sccm.

[0023] Preferably, the calcination temperature in the nitrogen-containing atmosphere is 200-400° C. and the calcination time is 2-10 h.

[0024] The present invention also provides the use of the above-mentioned deodorizing refrigerator liner.

Through a specific method, nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide is mainly located inside the pores of carbon nanotubes. Through this structural design, it is unexpectedly found that the adsorption effect of carbon nanotubes on odors in this structure will not be affected, and the nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide located in the carbon nanotubes can also efficiently degrade and remove odor components.

Take into account both the mechanical properties and the problem of odor residue in newly purchased refrigerators before unpacking.
