Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of corrugated pipes, and in particular, relates to a toughened corrugated pipe and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] The bellows is a cylindrical thin-walled corrugated shell with multiple transverse corrugations. It is a tubular elastic sensitive element, which is made of foldable corrugated sheets connected along the folding and stretching direction. The main characteristics of the bellows are that it can produce displacement under the action of pressure, axial force, transverse force or bending moment, and it has elasticity. Due to its special structure, it has been widely used in aerospace, aviation, shipbuilding, automobiles, transportation and new buildings in recent years, and has broad application prospects.
[0003] In the automotive industry, bellows are often used as wire harness protection to protect automotive wiring harnesses from damage by external environments such as wear, corrosion and impact. They are also used to protect automotive tailpipes, exhaust pipes and other components to prevent them from being eroded by high temperatures and corrosion. Bellows are made of metal or non-metallic materials, and with the development of lightweight automobiles, non-metallic bellows are receiving more and more attention. Commonly used materials are polypropylene (PP) and polyamide (PA), among which polyamide is also called nylon, which is a general term for thermoplastic resins containing repeated amide groups (-NHCO-) on the molecular chain. It has excellent mechanical properties, hydrophilicity, oil absorption, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and easy processing and molding. It has unique advantages in automotive bellows and is widely used. However, as people's needs continue to increase, the traditional nylon bellows have poor resilience after the opening is subjected to force, and it is necessary to improve the mechanical properties of the bellows, especially the toughness. For nylon materials, toughness refers to the ability of the material to absorb energy during plastic deformation and fracture. The better the toughness, the less likely it is to have brittle fracture. In addition, although nylon itself has certain flame retardant properties, there are still certain safety hazards. Therefore, it is urgent to solve the above problems to meet the higher demands in the field of bellows technology. Summary of the invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a toughened corrugated oil suction pipe and a preparation method thereof.
[0005] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0006] A method for preparing a toughened oil-absorbing bellows comprises the following steps:
[0007] PA6 and maleic anhydride grafted POE are dried in an oven for 24 hours, and then mixed with a modifier, a processing aid and an antioxidant in a mixer until the mixture is uniform, and then added to a twin-screw extruder, melt blended, extruded, fixed in a mold, and water-cooled to obtain a toughened oil-absorbing bellows.
[0008] Furthermore, the raw materials are calculated in parts by weight as follows: 80-90 parts of PA6, 10-16 parts of maleic anhydride grafted POE, 5-15 parts of modifier, 4-6 parts of processing aid, and 5-9 parts of antioxidant.
[0009] Furthermore, the processing aid is one of olive oil, paraffin and zinc stearate.
[0010] Furthermore, the antioxidant is a hindered phenol antioxidant.
[0011] With PA6 as the matrix, the corrugated pipe is endowed with excellent mechanical properties, heat resistance and corrosion resistance; maleic anhydride grafted POE significantly improves the toughness of the material by introducing highly polar maleic anhydride side groups on the non-polar POE molecular main chain. Using it as a raw material can greatly enhance the toughness of the corrugated pipe.
[0012] Furthermore, the modifier is prepared by the following steps:
[0013] S1. Add pentaerythritol and trichlorothiophosphorus to a four-necked flask equipped with a thermometer and a reflux condenser, stir evenly, heat in an oil bath, and set the reaction temperature to 150°C. Reflux for 6 hours until no hydrogen chloride gas is released. Continue to heat to 170°C and heat for another hour. When the reaction is complete, wait for the device to cool to room temperature, extract with boiling water for 4 times, remove the sticky substance at the bottom of the bottle by decantation, concentrate to remove part of the water, cool and crystallize, filter with suction, and dry to obtain intermediate 1; the ratio of pentaerythritol to trichlorothiophosphorus is 16.7g:14.1g;
[0014] Pentaerythritol undergoes a nucleophilic substitution reaction with phosphorus trichloride to obtain intermediate 1; the structure of intermediate 1 is shown below:
[0015]
[0016] S2. In a three-necked flask equipped with a stirring device, nitrogen is introduced into the air in the device, and then intermediate 1, glutaryl chloride and N,N-dimethylformamide are added. After stirring and mixing, 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP, catalyst) and triethylamine (acid binding agent) are added. After stirring and mixing again, the reaction temperature is controlled to 65°C, and the reaction is kept warm for 4 hours. Stirring is continued during the reaction. After the reaction is completed, the reaction is filtered, and the solvent is removed by distillation under reduced pressure. The mixture is washed with deionized water and dried in vacuo to obtain intermediate 2. The ratio of the amount of intermediate 1, glutaryl chloride, N,N-dimethylformamide, 4-dimethylaminopyridine and triethylamine is 19.6 g:18.2 g:100 mL:0.2 g:15 mL;
[0017] Under the catalysis of 4-dimethylaminopyridine and triethylamine, the acyl chloride on glutaryl chloride and the hydroxyl group on intermediate 1 undergo acylation reaction. By controlling the molar ratio of the two to be close to 1:1 and the glutaryl chloride to be slightly excessive, only one acyl chloride on glutaryl chloride participates in the reaction to obtain intermediate 2. The specific reaction process is shown below:
[0018]
[0019] S3, at room temperature, under nitrogen protection, in a three-necked flask equipped with a stirring device, the intermediate 2, 3-butene-1-ol and N,N-dimethylformamide were stirred and mixed uniformly, and then 4-dimethylaminopyridine and triethylamine were added. After stirring and mixing again, the reaction temperature was controlled to 70°C, and the reaction was kept warm for 6 hours. Stirring was continued during the reaction. After the reaction was completed, part of the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and then purified by column chromatography (the eluent was a mixed solvent of petroleum ether / ethyl acetate, and the volume ratio of the two was 4:1), the eluent was removed by rotary evaporation, and vacuum drying was performed to obtain intermediate 3; the ratio of the amount of intermediate 2, 3-butene-1-ol, N,N-dimethylformamide, 4-dimethylaminopyridine, and triethylamine was 32.7g:7.2g:100mL:0.2g:15mL;
[0020] Under the catalysis of 4-dimethylaminopyridine and triethylamine, the acyl chloride on intermediate 2 and the hydroxyl group on 3-butene-1-ol undergo acylation reaction to obtain intermediate 3; the specific reaction process is shown below:
[0021]
[0022] S4. In a four-necked flask equipped with a thermometer and a reflux condenser, add hydrogenated silicone oil, N,N-dimethylformamide and Speier catalyst, stir at 55°C for 30 min, add intermediate 3, control the reaction temperature to 80°C, keep the reaction warm for 6 h, stop heating, stir at room temperature for 5 h, filter, and rotary evaporate to obtain a modifier; the ratio of hydrogenated silicone oil, N,N-dimethylformamide, Speier catalyst, and intermediate 3 is 10g:100mL:0.5mL:4.3g; wherein the Speier catalyst is prepared by dissolving 0.1g of chloroplatinic acid in 100g of isopropanol and stirring at room temperature;
[0023] Under the catalysis of Speier catalyst, hydrogen-containing silicone oil and intermediate 3 undergo a hydrosilylation reaction to obtain a modifier; the specific reaction process is as follows:
[0024]
[0025] The modifier prepared by the present invention is mainly composed of polysiloxane chains. Due to its unique structure, the polysiloxane has very low surface energy, which can improve the corrosion resistance of the nylon matrix. In addition, the bond length of the silicon-oxygen bond is more flexible than that of the carbon-carbon bond, which can enhance the mechanical properties of the matrix to a certain extent. In addition, the modifier molecule also contains a caged phosphonate structure and sulfur elements. The caged phosphonate is a phosphorus-based flame retardant with strong stability. When burned, it can promote the formation of a carbon layer and inhibit the release of smoke. The sulfur atoms can release non-combustible gases, such as sulfur dioxide, during the combustion process. These gases can dilute the concentration of combustible gases and oxygen, and can synergize with the phosphorus element in the caged phosphonate to promote the dehydration of the substrate into carbon, enhance the condensed phase flame retardant effect, and significantly enhance the flame retardant performance of the matrix. Finally, the prepared modifier is a macromolecule, which has better migration resistance and exudation resistance and stronger stability than small molecule additives.
[0026] Beneficial effects of the present invention:
[0027] 1. The bellows prepared by the present invention uses PA6 as a matrix, which gives the bellows excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance;
[0028] 2. Adding maleic anhydride grafted POE into the raw materials greatly enhances the toughness of the bellows;
[0029] 3. The prepared modifier molecules contain various functional groups, which can greatly enhance the flame retardancy and mechanical properties of the bellows, and can further improve the corrosion resistance of the bellows, and the performance is stable;
[0030] Therefore, the corrugated pipe produced by the present invention has high toughness, good mechanical properties, stable and efficient flame retardancy and corrosion resistance, and has important application value in the field of corrugated pipe technology. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
