Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of oil storage device manufacturing, in particular to an oil storage device with a gradient pore structure and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing development of the country's aerospace industry, space motion components are increasingly used in space payloads, and their operational reliability is one of the main factors affecting the life of satellites. The rolling bearing oil supply system in space motion components is composed of a porous oil-containing cage and an auxiliary oil reservoir. This is because the oil content in the cage is not enough to meet the design requirements. In order to ensure the long life of the rolling bearing, an oil reservoir is usually designed at the installation location of the bearing. As the bearing runs, the lubricating oil inside the oil reservoir slowly moves from the upper and lower ends to the bearing to replenish the lubricating oil consumed by the bearing.

[0003] Most oil reservoirs are made of the same material as the oil-containing retainer, which is a porous polyimide material. To ensure the lubrication life requirements, the oil content of the oil reservoir is generally designed to be around 22-25%, so the pore size and porosity of the material are relatively large. However, due to the more severe service environment, higher temperatures, and more high and low temperature alternation cycles, the existing pore structure of the oil reservoir is prone to excessive oil discharge during the simulated ground running-in test, resulting in unstable friction torque of the oil supply system and large fluctuations in the current of the bearing assembly running-in test, making it impossible to guarantee long-term accurate oil supply.

[0004] Based on this, it is necessary to design a new oil reservoir that can effectively reduce the high-temperature oil output rate. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to address the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides an oil reservoir with a gradient pore structure and a preparation method thereof. The oil reservoir has a large porosity in the middle and a small porosity at both ends. Under the premise of ensuring the amount of lubricating oil, the oil reservoir can effectively solve the problem of unstable current caused by a large amount of oil discharge from the bearing assembly in a high temperature section or when high and low temperatures alternate. The oil reservoir can slowly discharge oil in this state, and the oil supply system can achieve long-term and accurate oil supply.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the specific scheme adopted by the present invention is:

[0007] On the one hand, the present invention provides a method for preparing an oil reservoir having a gradient pore structure, wherein the porosity of the oil reservoir gradually decreases from the middle to the upper and lower ends in the axial direction, and the preparation method mainly comprises the following steps: S1. According to the designed gradient components, number of gradient layers and component content in each layer, the raw materials required for each layer are fully mixed to obtain the raw materials required for each layer; all the raw materials contain 70-100% polyimide by weight percentage, and the particle size gradient of the polyimide in the raw materials used from the middle to the upper and lower ends decreases; S2, cold isostatically pressing the raw materials required for each layer to obtain blanks; then stacking the blanks according to the designed gradient components, number of gradient layers and component content in each layer and cold isostatically pressing them to obtain preforms; S3, placing the preform in a mold and performing spark plasma sintering to obtain a sintered blank; S4, demoulding the sintered blank into an oil reservoir of target size.

[0008] Furthermore, the porosity of the middle portion of the oil reservoir is 30-40%, and the porosity of the upper and lower ends is 15-20%.

[0009] Furthermore, in step S1, the raw materials required for each layer include, in addition to 70-100% of polyimide, 0-10% of polyetheretherketone, and 0-20% of polytetrafluoroethylene, by weight percentage.

[0010] Furthermore, in step S1, the polyimide is monoether anhydride polyimide, and the particle size is 10 to 30 μm.

[0011] Furthermore, in step S1, the preparation method of the raw materials required for each layer is: Step (1), weighing the raw materials according to weight percentage; if the raw materials only contain polyimide, the preparation of the raw materials is completed; if the raw materials also contain other raw materials, proceed to the next step; Step (2), pretreating polyimide at 200° C. for 2 h under vacuum conditions, pretreating polyetheretherketone at 160° C. for 2 h under vacuum conditions, and then placing in an acoustic resonance mixer to fully mix; if the raw materials only contain polyimide and polyetheretherketone, the preparation of the raw materials is completed; if the raw materials also contain polytetrafluoroethylene, proceed to the next step; Step (3), placing the polytetrafluoroethylene in a low temperature environment below 5° C. for 12 hours, then placing it in an acoustic resonance mixer, controlling the temperature in the acoustic resonance mixer to be below 10° C., and mixing again to be uniform.

[0012] Furthermore, in step S2, when the mixed powder is pressed into a blank, the cold isostatic pressing pressure is 80 to 110 KN, and the blank height is 3 to 15 mm; When the blank is pressed into a preform, the cold isostatic pressing pressure is 50 to 100 KN, and the pressure is maintained for 3 to 5 minutes.

[0013] Furthermore, in step S3, the mold is prepared by isostatically pressed graphite based on carbon microspheres, the thermal conductivity of graphite is 90-140 W / m·K, the porosity is 7-10%, and the density is 1.80-1.95 g / cm 3 .

[0014] Furthermore, in step S3, the mold is in a cylindrical shape as a whole, the mold height = 3×the height of the oil reservoir, the mold inner diameter = the outer diameter of the oil reservoir + (6-10) mm, and the mold outer diameter = (1.5-2)×the inner diameter of the mold.

[0015] Further, in step S3, the mold is placed together with the preform in a spark plasma sintering device, and under a vacuum degree of less than 10Pa, at a constant pressure of 3 to 10MPa, the temperature is rapidly increased to 230-270°C at a heating rate of 60 to 150°C / min, and kept warm for 2 to 5min; then the temperature is increased to 340 to 370°C at the same heating rate, and kept warm for 10 to 20min; then the temperature is cooled by water for 3 to 5min to reduce to below 100°C.

[0016] On the other hand, the present invention provides an oil reservoir having a gradient pore structure, which is prepared by the above method.

[0017] Beneficial effects:

[0018] (1) The oil reservoir with a gradient pore structure designed by the present invention has a large porosity in the middle, which means a high oil content, and a small porosity at both ends, which means a low oil content. This can effectively solve the problem of large amounts of oil being discharged from the bearing during operation at high temperatures or when high and low temperatures alternate, so that the oil reservoir can slowly discharge oil in this state, and the oil supply system can achieve long-term and accurate oil supply. In addition, by prefabricating the blank, compared with directly laying the powder layer by layer, the overall pores of the material can be effectively controlled, the initial oil content of the material and the expected design lubrication life can be ensured, and the batch consistency of the material is high.

[0019] (2) The present invention adopts spark plasma sintering. Compared with the traditional porous polyimide material vacuum sintering, nitrogen sintering and hot pressing sintering, the sintering time is effectively shortened from the traditional 2 to 4 hours to within 25 minutes, and the production efficiency is increased by at least 3.8 times.

[0020] (3) Polyetheretherketone is added to the raw materials of the present invention. Polyetheretherketone flows and diffuses at high temperature, which can effectively bond the gradient layers and seal the pores, thereby achieving the purpose of regulating the pores of the oil reservoir material. In addition, after all the blanks are pressed, they are stacked and cold isostatically pressed, which can further reduce the gap between layers. This combined technology effectively solves the problems of gradient stacking stratification and non-bonding.

[0021] (4) The present invention uses carbon microsphere-based fine-grained isostatically pressed graphite as a mold for spark plasma sintering equipment. For such organic polymer non-conductive materials, the graphite mold has good thermal conductivity. In addition, the design of the sintering process can effectively solve the problems of excessive temperature gradient during the sintering process, resulting in uneven material structure and even cracking. At the same time, the graphite has a small porosity, a large density, a uniform material and a high density, which prevents fine graphite particles from clogging the micropores of the composite material.

[0022] (5) The present invention adopts an acoustic resonance instrument for mixing and a step-by-step mixing method, which not only achieves uniform mixing but also avoids the fibrosis of polytetrafluoroethylene caused by long-term mixing and heating of the equipment. Compared with traditional high-speed mixers, high-speed tissue pounders and other equipment, this method does not have a mixing dead corner and avoids the unevenness of multi-component mixtures.
