Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bulletproof plates, and in particular to a composite reinforced boron carbide bulletproof plate and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the update and upgrade of new weapons, the initial velocity and penetration of bullets have also increased accordingly. The development of automated weapons has made it more common for multiple bullets to hit at the same time. Therefore, the bulletproof performance against the impact of multiple bullets has received more and more attention. Generally, in order to improve the bullet penetration performance, bulletproof plates are usually made of ceramic materials, metal materials and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene materials. However, ceramic materials are hard and brittle materials. When penetrated by bullets, the radial cracks formed in the ceramic materials are very easy to expand to the entire ceramic plate surface. The broken pieces of ceramics cannot be fixed in the bulletproof plate and flow, thereby weakening the ceramic material, which is not conducive to the bulletproof plate's performance against multiple bullets.
[0003] In the prior art, in order to reduce the crack expansion of ceramic materials, reduce the performance weakening of ceramic materials, and improve the performance of bullet-proof panels against multiple bullet strikes, smaller ceramic blocks are usually used for splicing, and artificial cracks are used to block the range of crack expansion of the entire ceramic block. Even if a certain piece of ceramic material is shattered by a bullet, other ceramic materials still have good impact resistance, and the protective performance of other parts of the bullet-proof panel is retained. However, there are certain problems, namely: the connection between ceramic materials and metals, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and other materials is not firm, and they are easy to fall off when impacted, especially small pieces of spliced ceramics. Bullet-proof panels are usually curved panels, and small pieces of spliced ceramics are basically planar structures, which cannot maintain good contact on the curved panels, and the impact resistance and energy absorption effect of the connection strength are further reduced.
[0004] On the other hand, there are two bulletproof grade standards that are widely used in China, one is the American standard NIJ 0101.06 standard, and the other is the Chinese GA 141-2010 standard. The NIJ 0101.06 standard is currently the most widely known standard in the world. The NIJ standard has the deepest back concave depth of all standards: no more than 1.73 inches / 44 mm. That is, when the bullet hits the bulletproof plate, the height of the bulge formed on the side close to the body does not exceed 44 mm, which is qualified. Although such a bulletproof plate is qualified, when facing the impact of the bullet, the bulletproof plate will form a bulge of more than 40 mm on the side close to the body within a dozen to dozens of milliseconds, and the user will suffer serious injuries at this time, thus affecting the combat effectiveness.
[0005] Therefore, in addition to being lightweight and high-strength, reducing blunt trauma to the user is also an extremely important performance indicator for bulletproof plates. Summary of the invention
[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a composite reinforced boron carbide bulletproof plate and a preparation method thereof, which reduces the back concave depth and reduces the blunt impact injury of the user while maintaining the light weight and high strength of the bulletproof plate.
[0007] The technical solution adopted in this application to solve this technical problem is:
[0008] A composite reinforced boron carbide bulletproof plate comprises a honeycomb body, wherein the honeycomb body comprises a substrate and a honeycomb grid integrally prepared on the substrate, a ceramic matrix is arranged in the meshes of the honeycomb grid, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is filled between the ceramic matrix and the inner wall of the meshes, a fiber back plate is arranged on the back of the honeycomb body, and a damping layer is arranged on the bullet-facing surface, the fiber back plate, the honeycomb body and the damping layer are connected as a whole by an adhesive, and an edge layer is wrapped on the outside.
[0009] The ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene filled between the ceramic matrix and the inner wall of the mesh can provide strong support for the ceramic matrix, so that the ceramic matrix is subjected to balanced force and absorbs more energy when it is shattered by bullet impact, thereby reducing the depth of the back concave.
[0010] Furthermore, the spacing between the ceramic substrate and the inner wall of the honeycomb grid is less than or equal to 1 mm.
[0011] Furthermore, the honeycomb body is made of aluminum alloy, and the side length of the honeycomb grid is 10mm-20mm.
[0012] The smaller meshes of the honeycomb grid can restrain the ceramic matrix, and at the same time restrain the broken ceramic cone when the bullet impacts the ceramic matrix, thereby enhancing the energy absorption effect, reducing the penetration depth of the bullet, and thus reducing the back concave depth.
[0013] Furthermore, the damping layer is a sheet material formed by laminating and bonding multiple layers of Kevlar fiber cloth, and the thickness of the damping layer is 2mm-4mm.
[0014] The damping layer also absorbs energy from the bullet, reducing the impact force of the bullet on the ceramic matrix. After the energy is reduced, the impact force of the bullet is reduced, the impact strength on the ceramic matrix is reduced, and the depth of the back concave is further reduced.
[0015] Furthermore, the fiber backboard is a board body composited by UD cloth and EVA foam material, wherein the thickness of the EVA foam material is greater than the thickness of the UD cloth, and the overall thickness of the fiber backboard is 8mm-10mm.
[0016] The fiber backboard is mainly used to protect the human body. When the bullet dissipates energy, the point impact of the bullet is dispersed by the honeycomb body into a larger surface impact. The EVA foam material on the fiber backboard adheres to the surface of the human body while absorbing the impact energy, increasing the contact area and reducing the impact intensity.
[0017] A method for preparing a composite reinforced boron carbide bulletproof plate, used for preparing the composite reinforced boron carbide bulletproof plate, comprises the following steps:
[0018] Step S1: preparing a honeycomb body, a ceramic matrix, a damping layer and a fiber backplane;
[0019] Step S2: filling the mesh of the honeycomb body obtained in step S1 with ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene particles, then adding the ceramic matrix, placing the honeycomb body in a hot pressing mold and hot pressing the mold on a flat hot pressing machine, removing the excess burrs on the surface of the projectile-facing side after cooling, and then grinding the surface to obtain a basic protective plate;
[0020] Step S3: Brush glue on both surfaces of the basic protective plate obtained in step S2, and bond the damping layer and the fiber back plate respectively, perform hot pressing in an autoclave, slowly cool down to below 40°C, take out the plate, and wrap it with an edge layer to obtain a bulletproof plate.
[0021] Furthermore, in step S2, the hot pressing temperature is 145°C-150°C, the pressure is 10 MPa, and the hot pressing time is 1.5h-2h. After the hot pressing is completed, the surface of the ceramic substrate is flush with the mesh openings of the honeycomb body.
[0022] Furthermore, in step S3, a 1mm-1.5mm polyurea coating is sprayed on the surface of the plate and then the plate is hemmed with Oxford cloth.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0024] 1. The present invention utilizes ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene material to fill between the ceramic matrix and the base plate to form a sufficient cushion layer, thereby providing strong support for the ceramic matrix, which is beneficial for the ceramic material to fully break and absorb energy. At the same time, a smaller honeycomb grid is utilized to confine the fragments of the ceramic matrix within the honeycomb grid, thereby squeezing the bullet, fully absorbing energy, and dispersing the impact force of the bullet to the entire honeycomb body, thereby reducing the depth of the back concave, transferring the point impact to the surface impact, and reducing the probability of blunt injuries to the user.
[0025] 2. The present invention utilizes a smaller honeycomb structure to limit the ceramic cone of the ceramic matrix from being broken, and at the same time disperses the impact force to the entire honeycomb body, and converts the linear impact of the bullet into an outwardly dispersed expansion and extrusion, thereby reducing the penetration depth of the bullet, so that the present invention can use less material to complete the protection against bullets.
[0026] 3. The present invention also includes a damping layer and a polyurea coating as an edge layer, which can absorb the impact of bullets, provide a certain buffer when the bullet impacts, and increase the energy dissipation of the bullet. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0030] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, a composite reinforced boron carbide bulletproof plate includes a honeycomb body 4, wherein the honeycomb body 4 includes a substrate 6 and a honeycomb grid 5 integrally prepared on the substrate 6, wherein the mesh opening direction of the honeycomb grid 5 faces the bullet-proof direction, the honeycomb body 4 is made of aluminum alloy by 3D printing, the mesh depth of the honeycomb grid 5 is 10mm-13mm, the side length is 10mm-20mm, or it is formed by directly drilling holes on an aluminum alloy plate with a thickness of 12mm-15mm using a machine tool, and a ceramic matrix 3 is contained in the honeycomb grid 5, and the ceramic matrix 3 matches the honeycomb grid 5, that is, the ceramic matrix 3 is just placed in the honeycomb grid 5, and the distance between the ceramic matrix 3 and the inner wall of the mesh of the honeycomb grid 5 shall not be greater than 1mm, and the ceramic matrix 3 is a boron carbide ceramic material, which has low density and high hardness and is an ideal bulletproof material, and alumina ceramics or silicon carbide ceramics can also be used.
[0032] Since the bulletproof plate is a curved structure, but the material of the ceramic matrix 3 is usually a flat material such as a flat plate or a block material, and because the ceramic matrix used in the present invention is small in size, it is not easy to distinguish even if it is prepared as a curved material. Therefore, the ceramic matrix 3 and the substrate 6 of the honeycomb body 4 are in point contact or line contact, and the substrate 6 cannot provide good support for the ceramic matrix 3, which is not conducive to the ceramic matrix 3 fully breaking and absorbing energy when the bullet hits. Therefore, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is used here to fill between the ceramic matrix 3 and the substrate 6. The filling method is to add one or two ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene particles to each mesh in advance. The ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene particles melt and flow at high temperature, and pressure is applied to the ceramic matrix 3 to make the molten ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene flow and fill the gap between the ceramic matrix 3 and the honeycomb grid 5. After filling, the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene forms a support layer between the ceramic matrix 3 and the honeycomb grid 5. When the bullet hits the bulletproof plate, the boron carbide ceramic can have better support, so that it can absorb more energy when broken.
[0033] The back side (non-bullet-facing side) of the honeycomb body 4 is bonded with a fiber back plate 7, which is a plate body composited by a UD cloth 8 and an EVA foam material 9. Because the ceramic matrix 3 of the present invention can be made of a larger thickness and has stronger energy absorption, and there is also a base plate 6 made of an aluminum alloy, the UD cloth 8 made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene can basically be omitted. The purpose of providing the fiber back plate 7 is to increase elasticity and further absorb energy, thereby reducing blunt injuries to the user. Among them, the UD cloth 8 is an insurance layer added as a safety guarantee, and the EVA foam material 9 is mainly used for close protection of the user, reducing the sudden back concave (bulge on the non-bullet-facing side of the bulletproof plate after being hit) when the bulletproof plate is hit, which causes blunt injuries to the user. The thickness of the EVA foam material 9 is greater than the thickness of the UD cloth 8, and the overall thickness of the fiber back plate 7 is 8mm-10mm
[0034] A damping layer 2 is provided on the bullet-facing surface of the honeycomb body 4. The damping layer 2 is a sheet material formed by laminating and bonding multiple layers of Kevlar fiber cloth. Kevlar fiber cloth is poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide) fiber cloth, which is an aramid composite material. Poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide) is a liquid crystalline rod-shaped molecule with very good thermal stability, fire resistance, chemical resistance, insulation, high strength and modulus. By comparing the physical properties of Kevlar fiber with other fibers, it can be found that Kevlar fiber is 2 to 11 times stronger than asbestos, 1.6 times stronger than high-strength graphite, 3 times stronger than glass fiber, and 5 times stronger than steel fiber of the same weight; and Kevlar fiber has a very low density, almost half of the density of asbestos. It is widely used in aerospace, shipbuilding and friction materials. The thickness of the damping layer is 2mm-4mm. On the one hand, the damping layer can effectively reduce the bullet speed during bullet impact and has strong protective performance. On the other hand, Kevlar fiber is mainly broken during the bulletproof process and rarely explodes. The broken fiber filaments can reduce the leakage of ceramic fragments around the bullet hole, so that more ceramic fragments are retained in the honeycomb body. Even if the next bullet is shot into the bullet hole of the previous bullet, it still has a certain protective ability. Compared with other composite materials, it has a stronger ability to protect against multiple bullets.
[0035] The fiber back plate 7, the honeycomb body 4 and the damping layer 2 are connected as a whole via an adhesive.

[0080] Within a range of 15 meters, three rounds of 7.62mm×51mm armor-piercing bullets were used to shoot the bulletproof plate prepared by the above method, with an initial velocity of 840±15m / s. Figure 2 As shown, the depths are 43.7mm, 41.9mm, and 44.1mm respectively.
[0081] It can be seen from the above test data that a smaller honeycomb grid 5 can effectively dissipate energy and has the effect of suppressing back convexity. Thickening the wall thickness of the honeycomb grid 5 has a certain promoting effect on suppressing back convexity and energy dissipation. When the aperture increases to a certain extent, the honeycomb grid 5 will lose its energy dissipation effect.
[0082] The fluctuation range of the back concave depth of the bulletproof plate of comparative example 1 is relatively large. By comparing embodiment 2 with comparative example 1, it can be seen that when the mesh of the honeycomb grid 5 is filled with ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, the ceramic matrix 3 can have a stronger energy dissipation effect.
[0083] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.
