Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of composite material manufacturing, and in particular to a co-extrusion device and method for weather-resistant composite material profiles. Background Art

[0002] Composite profiles are generally made of thermosetting resin and glass fiber yarn pultrusion. Composite profiles are widely used in chemical industry, wind power and other fields due to their advantages of light weight, high strength and corrosion resistance. Thermosetting resins mainly include polyurethane resin, unsaturated polyester resin, vinyl ester resin, epoxy resin, etc. When composite profiles are exposed to the outdoors for a long time, because the thermosetting resin body cannot meet the stringent weather resistance requirements of the components, it is necessary to coat a layer of weather-resistant material on the surface of the composite profile.

[0003] Regarding the weather resistance of composite material profiles, the method currently widely used in the industry is to coat the composite material profiles with protection through a spray production line process after the composite material profiles are formed. For example, the Chinese invention patent publication number is CN106903910B, and the name is: a coating method for polyurethane pultrusion composite materials. The method disclosed in the invention includes: a) preparing a polyurethane pultrusion composite material by a polyurethane pultrusion process, and the polyurethane pultrusion process includes the steps of: impregnating a fiber reinforcement material with a polyurethane resin, and then curing the impregnated fiber reinforcement material in a mold to provide a polyurethane pultrusion composite material; and b) pulling the polyurethane pultrusion composite material away from the mold, and then applying a water-based coating online to the part of the polyurethane pultrusion composite material with a temperature of 30°C to 90°C. This coating process generally has the disadvantages of high energy consumption, large floor space, long process, and low paint rate; and when the coating is a solvent-based product, it will also bring environmental problems.

[0004] In addition, there have also been reports of manufacturing processes that use pultrusion followed by bonding, covering or co-extrusion. For example, for example, the Chinese patent application publication number: CN114728478A, title: Multilayer pultruded structure with chemical resistance and weather resistance top layer, the patent application discloses that the structure includes from the inside to the outside: a) a pultruded structure containing a fiber-reinforced thermosetting or thermoplastic resin; b) one or more optional bonding layers, c) one or more thermoplastic cover layers, and d) a thin outermost chemical resistant layer; its manufacturing method is a) using a pultrusion molding process to form a fiber-reinforced structure, b) optionally applying one or more bonding layers to the pultruded structure, c) adhering one or more cover layers to the pultruded structure, d) adhering a chemical resistant layer to the pultruded structure; wherein the optional (one or more) bonding layers, cover layers and chemical resistant layers are co-extruded onto the pultruded structure. However, the above-mentioned manufacturing methods are either too complicated, or the produced profiles have various problems including unsightly and easy to peel, and are difficult to promote in industrial production.

[0035] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A specific embodiment of the present application proposes a co-extrusion device for a weather-resistant composite material profile, including a preforming mold 2, a pultrusion mold 3, a raw material injection device 4 and a PVDF extruder 5, wherein the pultrusion mold 3 includes at least five sections, which are respectively a first section 31, a second section 32, a third section 33, a fourth section 34 and a fifth section 35.

[0036] The preforming mold 2 is composed of a group of yarn guide plates with multiple holes or grooves. The holes or grooves are opened on several metal plates according to the cross-sectional shape of the profile to guide the fiber-reinforced material to gradually form a preformed body with a shape and size similar to the molding cavity, and then enter the pultrusion mold 3, so as to ensure that the yarn content of the product cross section is uniform. The specific structure of the five sections of the pultrusion mold 3: the first section 31 is the yarn guide area at the mold entrance. The longitudinal cross-sectional area of ​​the impregnation groove in this area is unchanged, and it is not heated and kept at room temperature. The second section 32 is the fiber impregnation area. The second section 32 is provided with a raw material injection port 4. The longitudinal cross-sectional area of ​​the impregnation groove in this area changes. There are conical impregnation grooves before and after the raw material injection port 4. It is not heated and kept at room temperature. The function of this area is to allow the liquid mixture of polyol and isocyanate to impregnate the fiber 1. The lower the liquid viscosity, the better. The third section 33 is a preheating gel zone, which is provided with a temperature regulating device. The longitudinal cross-sectional area of ​​the wetting tank in this zone does not change. The temperature in this zone is controlled at 50°C to 100°C. The longitudinal cross-sectional area of ​​the wetting tank in this zone does not change. The liquid mixture of polyol and isocyanate in this zone begins to react, and the mixture changes from liquid to gel state. The fourth section 34 is a heating and curing zone. A PVDF extruder 5 is provided between the third section 33 and the fourth section 34. The PVDF extruder 5 extrude PVDF melt into the wetting tank and covers the surface of the polyurethane resin in gel state. The fourth section 34 is provided with a temperature regulating device. The longitudinal cross-sectional area of ​​the wetting tank in this zone does not change. The temperature in this zone is controlled at 140°C to 200°C. The liquid mixture of polyol and isocyanate in this zone reacts quickly from gel state to solid state. The fifth section 35 is a surface forming area, which is provided with a temperature regulating device. The longitudinal cross-sectional area of ​​the wetting tank in this area remains unchanged, and the temperature of this area is controlled at 160°C to 200°C. The function of this area is to make the PVDF surface smooth. In addition, this area also has the function of releasing internal stress and thermally setting under high temperature conditions, thereby obtaining a PVDF film layer with a smooth surface.

[0037] Preferably, in order to minimize the high-temperature heat conduction from the third section 33 to the second section 32, thereby causing the viscosity of the polyol and isocyanate to increase and resulting in a decrease in the wetting ability, an isolation section 36 is provided between the two sections. For example, cooling water can be introduced into the isolation section 36 to ensure that the temperature of the second section 32 is maintained at room temperature.

[0038] The operation method of the co-extrusion equipment of the present application is as follows: the fiber 1 enters the pultrusion die 3 along the guide device of the preforming die 2, and the polyurethane prepolymer polyol and isocyanate are metered and mixed in a static mixer and then injected into the wetting tank of the second section 32 by the raw material injection device 4 along the first injection port 37, and the mixture of polyol and isocyanate fully impregnates the fiber 1 in the second section 32; then, after preheating in the third section 33, the raw material reaction is transformed into a gel-state resin, and at the same time, after the polyvinylidene fluoride PVDF is melted by the PVDF extruder 5, the PVDF melt temperature is between 180°C and 200°C. After metering, the PVDF melt is pumped into the wetting tank inside the pultrusion die 3 along the second injection port 38 and then becomes the surface layer of the resin. At this time, the resin covered by the PVDF melt is still in a gel state and has not been completely solidified. The gel-state resin and the PVDF melt are both in a high-temperature viscous flow state, and the high temperature is used to diffuse and react with each other at the contact interface between the two. The resin covering the PVDF is heated in the fourth section 34, the resin is gradually solidified and the surface is fully bonded to the PVDF, and finally enters the fifth section 35 and releases the internal stress under high temperature for heat setting to obtain a PVDF film layer with a smooth surface. Finally, the composite frame profile 7 with a PVDF weather-resistant skin layer is pulled out of the pultrusion die 3 under the traction of the traction machine 6, and the weather-resistant composite material profile can be obtained by cutting with a cutting machine.

[0039] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 A specific embodiment of the present application proposes another co-extrusion device for weather-resistant composite material profiles, including a dipping tank 8, a pultrusion die 3, and a PVDF extruder 5. The main difference between this open dipping pultrusion process and the above-mentioned closed dipping pultrusion process is only the difference in the dipping method. The open dipping uses a dipping tank for dipping, and the closed dipping injects the raw materials into the impregnation tank by high pressure for dipping. In the open dipping, the fiber 1 enters the open dipping tank 8 through a yarn guide roller, and then enters the pultrusion die 3 through a yarn guide roller after dipping. In this process, the pultrusion die 3 does not need a yarn guide area, and the inlet of the pultrusion die 3 is a trumpet-shaped flow channel and the cross-sectional area of ​​the flow channel gradually decreases; because the fiber is impregnated in the open dipping tank 8, the oligomer polyol and isocyanate do not need to be injected into the mold under high pressure, so the injection port is also omitted, and the rest is the same as the above-mentioned closed dipping process.

[0040] refer to Figure 5A specific embodiment of the present application proposes another PVDF extruder 5 of a co-extrusion equipment for weather-resistant composite material profiles, which is a single-screw extruder with a diameter of 25 mm, which includes three-zone heating, the temperature of the first zone 51 of the extruder is controlled at 150℃~170℃, preferably 160℃, the temperature of the second zone 52 of the extruder is controlled at 180℃~200℃, preferably 190℃, the temperature of the third zone 53 of the extruder is controlled at 180℃~200℃, preferably 190℃, and the temperature of the second injection port 38 of the PVDF extruder 5 injected into the pultrusion die 3 is controlled at 180℃~200℃, preferably 190℃.

[0041] refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 A specific embodiment of the present application proposes a weather-resistant composite material frame for photovoltaic cells manufactured using the above co-extrusion equipment. The weather-resistant composite material frame includes a first transverse side 91, a first side 92 and a second transverse side 93. The first transverse side 91, the first side 92 and the second transverse side 93 enclose a first slot-shaped space 94 with an open side. The edge of the crystalline silicon solar cell is plugged and fixed in the first space 94. The weather-resistant composite material includes a substrate 95 and a weather-resistant layer 96 located on the surface of the substrate 95. The substrate 95 is a fiber-reinforced thermosetting composite material. The thermosetting material is selected from polyurethane resin. The thickness of the substrate 95 is 1mm to 10mm; the weather-resistant layer 96 is a fluororesin material, preferably PVDF, and the thickness of the weather-resistant layer 96 is 2 microns to 300 microns. The substrate 95 and the weather-resistant layer 96 are prepared by the above co-extrusion process. The thickness of the weather-resistant layer 96 is 2 microns to 300 microns, preferably 30 to 150 microns.

[0042] The fiber is selected from one of glass fiber, basalt fiber, carbon fiber, polymer fiber, hemp fiber and bamboo fiber or a mixed fiber, and also includes fabrics such as cloth and felt of these fibers. The PVDF refers to pure PVDF or a mixture of PVDF and PMMA. The method is applicable to thermosetting materials such as polyurethane resin, unsaturated polyester resin, vinyl ester resin, epoxy resin, etc.

[0044] Fiber reinforced polyurethane composite pultrusion process, using Figure 1 The device shown in the figure, wherein the isocyanate is Covestro Desmodur 1511L, the polyol is Covestro Baydur 18BD298, and 3% black color paste is used. The pultrusion line speed is 0.7 m / min, and the injection pressure is 1.2 MPa. The glass fiber yarn density is 4800 tex, and the fibers include glass fiber yarn and glass fiber cloth, and the total mass content is 77%. The temperature of the third section 33 is controlled at 80°C, the temperature of the fourth section 34 is controlled at 195°C, and the temperature of the fifth section 35 is controlled at 180°C.

[0045] PVDF single screw extrusion process, PVDF mixture includes 65% PVDF homopolymer with a melt index of 20, 18% acrylic material, 15% titanium dioxide, and 2% additives such as antioxidants and lubricants. The PVDF extruder 5 is a single screw extruder with a diameter of 25 mm. The single screw extruder includes 3-zone heating. The temperature of the first zone 51 of the extruder is set at 160°C, the temperature of the second zone 52 of the extruder is set at 190°C, and the temperature of the third zone of the extruder is set at 190°C.

[0046] The bonding force between the PVDF skin layer and the fiber-reinforced polyurethane matrix varies greatly with the different preheating gel zone temperature settings: when the preheating gel zone temperature is 80°C and 100°C, the bonding force between PVDF and the polyurethane pultrusion substrate is the best; when the preheating gel zone temperature rises to 120°C, the bonding force between PVDF and the polyurethane pultrusion substrate becomes worse; when the preheating gel zone temperature rises to above 140°C, the bonding force between PVDF and the polyurethane pultrusion substrate is as low as 3 to 5N / cm.
