Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fluororesin film processing and molding, and in particular relates to a method for preparing a continuous-length fluororesin casting film through multiple casting processes. Background Art
[0002] The perfluororesin emulsion is coated on a metal mold belt such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy, evaporated and subjected to high-temperature heat treatment, and then peeled off from the metal mold belt to obtain an isotropic, high-strength perfluororesin film. Since fluororesins have high melt viscosity, especially polytetrafluoroethylene, which is a representative perfluororesin, is in a gel state above the melting point and has a high thermal expansion coefficient. When sintered at high temperature, this will cause the film to form cracks. Therefore, the thickness of the film without penetrating cracks obtained by a single emulsion casting, that is, the limit film crack thickness of the perfluororesin, is generally 5-20 μm. To obtain a thicker and denser film, multiple casting processes must be used.
[0003] Perfluororesin has low surface energy and unique amphiphilicity, making it difficult to bond. In addition, the linear expansion coefficient of perfluororesin is much greater than that of metal mold tape. During the film sintering process, there is a large stress between the interfaces of the two, and the stress is proportional to the film thickness. Therefore, when the film thickness reaches about 50 μm, the deformation stress generated by heat will cause the casting film to fall off from the edge of the mold tape. In severe cases, the entire film will fall off from the mold tape and cannot be cast any more. Therefore, in order to achieve the production of perfluororesin casting films with a thickness of more than 50 μm, the edge of the mold tape must be processed to improve its adhesion to the fluororesin film.
[0004] Conventional use of grinding wheels and sandpaper to process the edge areas of metal mold belts is labor-intensive and produces a large amount of waste slag and waste chips, which will significantly reduce the strength of the metal casting film. In addition, this treatment method is difficult to ensure the uniformity of edge treatment and cannot effectively process the four edge areas of the metal mold belt at the same time. Summary of the invention
[0005] In view of the technical difficulty of producing casting films with a thickness of more than 50μm due to the significantly increased deformation stress at the interface between the metal mold belt and the casting film due to the increase in film thickness, as well as the limitations of traditional grinding wheels and sandpaper in processing the edge area of the metal mold belt, the applicant proposed a method for preparing a continuous length of fluororesin casting film through multiple casting processes. The core of this method is to use laser technology to roughen the edge area of the metal mold belt, thereby significantly enhancing the adhesion between the edge area of the metal mold belt and the fluororesin film. This measure not only successfully overcomes the above-mentioned technical difficulties, but also effectively makes up for the shortcomings of traditional processing methods, providing a practical solution for the production of high-thickness continuous length fluororesin casting films.
[0006] Specifically, the present application provides a method for preparing a continuous length fluororesin casting film by a multiple casting process, the method comprising providing a plurality of sequentially arranged dipping tanks filled with fluororesin emulsion, allowing a continuously moving metal mold belt to pass through the dipping tanks in sequence for dipping, and after each dipping, the surface of the metal mold belt is coated with fluororesin emulsion; after the metal mold belt coated with fluororesin emulsion leaves each dipping tank, drying and baking the metal mold belt; repeating the above-mentioned dipping, drying and baking processes until the metal mold belt is dipped in the last dipping tank and subjected to drying and baking, thereby obtaining a continuous length fluororesin film, Before the first dipping of the metal mold belt, the edge areas on both sides of the two surfaces of the metal mold belt determined by its length and width are roughened by laser, preferably, the edge areas on both sides refer to the areas in the two surfaces from the edge of the metal mold belt to 0.3% to 4% of the width of the metal mold belt from the edge in the width direction, and the edge areas extend along the length direction of the metal mold belt. The thickness of the obtained continuous length fluororesin film is 50 μm or more, preferably 50 to 500 μm, more preferably 50 to 200 μm.
[0007] The two side edge regions may refer to the regions from the edge of the metal mold belt to 0.5% to 3.5% or 2.8-3.0% of the width of the metal mold belt from the edge in the width direction of the two surfaces. For example, taking a metal mold belt with a width of 1.22 m as an example, the two side edge regions may refer to the regions from the edge of the metal mold belt to 1-4 cm (e.g., 1 cm, 2 cm, 3 cm, or 4 cm) from the edge in the width direction of the two surfaces.
[0008] The metal mold belt is selected from stainless steel mold belt, aluminum and aluminum alloy mold belt and copper foil mold belt, preferably, the stainless steel mold belt is an acid-washed stainless steel mold belt. More preferably, the metal mold belt is an acid-washed 316L stainless steel mold belt.
[0009] The metal mold belt can be selected from 304 and 316 pickled stainless steel mold belts with a thickness of 0.1-0.15 mm, aluminum and aluminum alloy mold belts with a thickness of 0.12-0.20 mm, and copper foil mold belts with a thickness of 0.1-0.2 mm.
[0010] The width of the metal mold belt is 0.5-3.0 m, more preferably 1.0-1.6 m, and most preferably 1.22 m.
[0011] Before the first dipping of the metal mold belt, a laser marking machine can be used to roughen the edge areas of both sides of the two surfaces of the continuously moving metal mold belt determined by its length and width. Preferably, the laser power is 20-30 W / cm 2 The moving speed of the metal mold belt is 0.5-2 m / min, preferably 1.0-1.8 m / min.
[0012] Preferably, the metal mold tape is fed out by an unwinding device into which the metal mold tape roll is placed, and is pulled by a traction mechanism to move continuously. The laser marking machine can be placed between the unwinding device and the first immersion tank, more preferably, at the unwinding position of the metal mold tape. A laser marking machine equipped with four laser heads can be used, and the positions of the laser heads are adjusted so that the lasers are respectively aimed at the edge areas on both sides of the two surfaces of the metal mold tape, and when the metal mold tape starts to move continuously, the laser is turned on to perform a roughening treatment on the edge areas of the metal mold tape. Preferably, the laser processing width is set to 1-3 cm, and the marking area is set to be a rectangle along the moving direction of the metal mold tape, and the rectangle is 1-3 cm wide and 2-5 cm long.
[0013] The fluororesin emulsion in each dipping tank may be the same or different. The drying treatment and calcination treatment after each dipping may be the same or different.
[0014] Preferably, the fluororesin emulsion in each dipping tank is independently selected from polytetrafluoroethylene emulsion, fusible polytetrafluoroethylene emulsion, polychlorotrifluoroethylene emulsion, perfluoroethylene-propylene emulsion or a mixture of two or more thereof.
[0015] Preferably, the fluororesin emulsion has a limiting film-breaking thickness greater than or equal to 15 μm, and more preferably, greater than or equal to 20 μm.
[0016] Preferably, the fluororesin emulsion has a surface energy of less than 26 J / m², and more preferably, the fluororesin emulsion has a surface energy of less than 24 J / m².
[0017] The thickness of the continuous length fluororesin film is determined by the moving speed of the metal mold belt and the number of dipping times (number of dipping tanks). The film thickness increases by 10-15 μm after a single dipping.
[0018] The number of immersions may be 2-20 times, more preferably 4-10 times, and more preferably 5-6 times.
[0019] The drying temperature is 80-120°C for 1-5 min, and the calcination temperature is 300-400°C for 2-10 min.
[0020] A heating device may be provided above each impregnation tank. Preferably, the heating device is a vertical drying furnace, the inner wall of which is provided with a heater. A drying section and a sintering section are provided in the drying furnace from bottom to top. After each impregnation in the impregnation tank, the metal mold belt enters from the lower part of the heating device corresponding to the impregnation tank, and passes through the drying section and the sintering section of the drying furnace from bottom to top for the drying treatment and the sintering treatment. In addition, a turning roller may be provided at the end of the sintering section, so that the metal mold belt passes through the drying section and the sintering section again from top to bottom along the turning direction of the turning roller.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The method of the present application uses laser to roughen the four edge areas of the metal mold belt, thereby solving the technical problem of difficulty in producing a casting film with a thickness exceeding 50 μm in a multiple casting process.
[0022] Compared with the traditional grinding process using sandpaper and grinding wheels, the method of the present application uses laser marking to roughen the edge area of the metal mold belt. The degree of roughening can be effectively controlled by controlling the laser power and marking frequency, and it is easier to realize automation. Moreover, the process of the method of the present application has low labor intensity and does not require manual interference, which is particularly suitable for the needs of industrial continuous production. In addition, after the grinding process using sandpaper and grinding wheels, a large amount of waste slag and waste chips will be generated, and the fine particles remaining on the metal will eventually enter the fluororesin mold, which will not only reduce the strength of the film, but most importantly, cause pollution to the film. In the method of the present application, basically no fine powder is generated after laser treatment, and the mold belt does not need to be cleaned, which can simplify the processing of the mold belt and facilitate the design of processes and equipment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific examples. This implementation case is implemented based on the technology of the present invention, and a detailed implementation method and specific operation process are now given. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following examples. In addition, any resin range recorded in the specification of this application includes any numerical value within the range and the numerical range formed by any combination of these numerical values.
[0024] The multiple casting film production device used in the following embodiments of the present application includes a traction structure, a reeling device, a laser marking machine, several dipping tanks placed in sequence (the number of dipping tanks is determined by the number of dipping times), a heating device and a reeling machine arranged above each dipping tank, wherein the heating device is a vertical drying furnace arranged above each dipping tank, the inner wall of the drying furnace is provided with a heater, and the drying furnace is sequentially arranged from bottom to top with a drying section with a specific temperature and a sintering section with a specific temperature, the laser marking machine is arranged at the unwinding position of the metal mold belt, the laser marking machine has 4 laser heads, and the positions of the 4 laser heads can be adjusted so that they are respectively aligned with the four edge areas of the released metal mold belt (that is, in the two surfaces determined by the length and width of the metal mold belt, from the edge of the metal mold belt to the area at a certain distance from the edge in the width direction), the traction structure includes a heating device arranged between the reeling device and the first dipping tank, between the dipping tank and the heating device arranged above it, between the heating device above the dipping tank and the previous or next dipping tank of the dipping tank, and between the heating device The guide roller between the heating device of the last dipping tank and the winding machine, the dipping guide roller arranged at the bottom of each dipping tank, the steering roller arranged at the end of the sintering section of each heating device, the traction structure also includes a guide belt, after the metal mold belt is placed in the unwinding device and the metal mold belt is welded with the guide belt (such as a guide steel belt, a guide aluminum alloy belt), the traction mechanism can drive the metal mold belt to be roughened at a certain forward speed by the laser marking machine, and then move along the corresponding guide roller and the dipping guide roller to pass through the first dipping tank for dipping, It enters from the lower part of the heating device corresponding to the impregnation tank, passes through the drying section and sintering section of the drying furnace from bottom to top, then turns back along the turning roller at the end of the sintering section, passes through the sintering section and drying section of the drying furnace again from top to bottom, and leaves the drying furnace, then follows the corresponding guide rollers and impregnation guide rollers, passes through the second impregnation tank and repeats the same path until it leaves the drying furnace corresponding to the last impregnation tank. After the last impregnation and heat treatment, the fluororesin film is peeled off from the upper and lower sides of the metal mold belt, and is introduced into the winder to wind the film, and the mold belt is recovered at the same time.
[0025] When the multiple casting film production device is used to prepare a fluororesin film, the laser intensity and the roughening treatment area of the laser marking machine are set, and the laser is turned on to perform continuous roughening treatment on the edge of the metal mold belt when the metal mold belt is turned on to advance, so that the metal mold belt can be impregnated after the roughening treatment. In addition, the time and temperature of the drying and calcining treatment after each impregnation recorded in the following examples can be achieved by adjusting the temperature and length of the drying section and the calcining section in the drying furnace. Those skilled in the art can easily achieve such adjustment.
[0026] Generally speaking, the metal mold belt can be reused when it is not severely deformed, and can generally be recycled more than 10 times. The thickness of the prepared film is adjusted by adjusting the dipping rate and the number of dipping times (ie, the number of dipping tanks).
[0027] In the embodiments of the present application, with regard to the length of the drying section (used to dry moisture), since in the above-mentioned production device, when the impregnated metal mold belt passes through the drying section in the drying furnace again from top to bottom along the turning roller, the sintered film will no longer be dried. Therefore, the length of the drying section is calculated as the drying time recorded in the embodiments × the forward speed of the metal mold belt (i.e., the moving speed).
[0028] As for the length of the firing section (used for sintering to form a layer of fluororesin film on the surface of the material), since the impregnated metal mold belt passes through the firing section twice along the turning roller from bottom to top and from top to bottom, the length of the firing section is (the firing time recorded in the embodiment × the forward speed of the metal mold belt) / 2.
