Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of composite materials, in particular to a graphene composite thermosetting material, a preparation method thereof, and an application of the graphene composite thermosetting material on a front cover of a camera device. Background Art

[0002] Conventional cameras are used in areas such as intelligent transportation, security monitoring, and live streaming of cultural tourism and sports. Their primary function is ultra-high-definition capture, incorporating features such as large apertures, ultra-wide angles, and ultra-low dispersion lenses. However, when in use, cameras generate significant heat due to the operation of their internal components. This heat cannot be dissipated within the camera, easily leading to overheating and damage, shortening its service life and compromising normal operation.

[0003] To this end, the applicant's prior application for a Chinese utility model patent with patent number CN202320225975.9 (publication number CN219322499U) describes a camera device that uses graphene plastic to make a front cover to transfer heat in a timely manner.

[0004] However, for composite materials that can improve thermal conductivity, the increase in thermally conductive fillers leads to a decrease in strength. Summary of the Invention

[0022] c is any integer from 2 to 4;

[0023] d is any integer from 13 to 68;

[0024] e and f are determined by the contents of aliphatic polyester block and aliphatic polyether block, respectively;

[0025] The number average molecular weight of the polyetherester multi-block copolymer is 8000-50000 grams per mole.

[0026] Furthermore, the content of the aliphatic polyether block is 30-85 wt %, the content of the aliphatic polyester block is 15-70 wt %, and the sum of the contents of the aliphatic polyether block and the aliphatic polyester block is 100 wt %.

[0027] Furthermore, the aliphatic polyester block is at least one of polyethylene adipate, polybutylene succinate, and polyethylene tridecanoate.

[0028] Furthermore, the value of c is 2 or 4.

[0031] Preferably, the carbon fiber is at least one of polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fiber and asphalt-based carbon fiber, and the fiber length of the carbon fiber is 3 to 15 mm.

[0032] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the second technical problem is: a method for preparing the above-mentioned graphene composite thermosetting material, characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0033] (1) dispersing the toughening agent with unsaturated polyester resin to obtain a first dispersion, and dispersing the toughening agent with polystyrene to obtain a second dispersion;

[0034] (2) mixing the first dispersion and the second dispersion, and then adding an organic peroxide and calcium hydroxide and stirring to obtain a colloid;

[0035] (3) mixing aluminum hydroxide and graphene material to obtain a mixed filler;

[0036] (4) kneading the mixed filler and the colloid, and then adding carbon fiber and further kneading to obtain a kneaded product;

On the one hand, the aliphatic polyether block has good compatibility with the unsaturated polyester resin matrix, providing good flexibility and impact strength. Therefore, the toughening agent of the present invention can be well dissolved in the unsaturated polyester resin matrix and evenly dispersed. On the other hand, during the curing process, the polyetherester multi-block copolymer can undergo microphase separation, and the toughening effect can be achieved using a relatively small amount of the polyetherester multi-block copolymer.

[0043] After the toughening agent of the present invention is added to the unsaturated polyester resin matrix, the energy dissipation pathway is improved due to the microphase separation generated in the system, and the toughness, impact strength and tensile strength of the unsaturated polyester resin cured product are significantly improved.

[0106]

[0107] As can be seen from the table above:

[0108] (1) Under the condition that the thermal conductivity remains unchanged, the tensile strength can be improved by adding the toughening agent used in the present invention;

[0109] (2) The increase in elongation at break indicates that the material has better ductility than the material without addition; at the same time, the decrease in flexural modulus highlights that the material has a certain elasticity after addition. When impacted, the impact energy can be more effectively absorbed by a larger area around the impact point.

[0110] (3) Due to the improvement of bending strength and elasticity, the relative impact strength is improved.

[0111] The graphene composite thermosetting material can be applied to the front cover of a camera device.

[0112] like Figures 1 to 3 FIG. 1 is a preferred embodiment of the camera device of the present invention, which includes a housing 1 , a camera module 2 , a semiconductor cooling plate 3 , a radiator 4 , an exhaust fan 5 and a heat insulation pad 6 .

[0113] The housing 1 includes a front cover 11 and a rear cover 12, which are connected front and back. The joint between the front cover 11 and the rear cover 12 is sealed by a sealing ring 13. Specifically, a lens 111 is mounted on the front end wall of the front cover 11, which faces the lens of the camera module 2 described below. An air inlet 121 is provided on the side wall of the rear cover 12, and an air outlet 122 is provided on the rear end wall of the rear cover 12. In this embodiment, the front cover 11 is made of the aforementioned graphene composite thermosetting material, which can ensure high strength while improving thermal conductivity.

[0114] The camera module 2 is arranged in the middle position of the inner cavity of the front cover 11, that is, the front cover 11 surrounds the outer periphery of the camera module 2. In this way, when the front cover 11 cools down or heats up, it can create a working environment with suitable temperature for the entire camera module 2.

[0115] The semiconductor cooling plate 3 is annular and is arranged around the inner cavity of the front cover 11 and around the outer periphery of the camera module 2 , with its front end wall tightly attached to the front end wall of the front cover 11 .

[0116] The radiator 4 is located in the rear cover 12 , and its front end wall is in close contact with the rear end wall of the semiconductor cooling plate 3 .

[0117] The exhaust fan 5 is disposed in the rear cover 12 and is located at the rear side of the radiator 4 . The exhaust fan 5 can draw air from the air inlet 121 and discharge it through the air outlet 122 , thereby accelerating the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator 4 .

[0118] The heat insulation pad 6 is separated between the radiator 4 and the camera module 2 to prevent the heat or cold of the radiator 4 from being transferred to the camera module 2 .

[0119] It should be noted that one end of the semiconductor refrigeration plate 3 is the hot end and the other end is the cold end. The hot end and the cold end can be converted by reversing the positive and negative poles: when the positive and negative poles of the semiconductor refrigeration plate 3 are positively connected, its front end is the cold end, which can cool the front cover 11; when the positive and negative poles of the semiconductor refrigeration plate 3 are reversed, its front end is the hot end, which can heat the front cover 11.
