Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ice prevention, in particular to a self-temperature-controlled electric heating ice prevention coating and a coating layer thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Surface ice brings great safety hazards to the fields of transportation, aviation, power transmission, etc. In order to ensure the safe operation of key equipment and facilities, various ice prevention and removal methods are used for icing protection. Existing ice prevention strategies can be divided into active methods and passive methods. The active ice prevention method mainly relies on external energy to prevent surface icing, but often needs complex regulating equipment to prevent overheating or excessive energy consumption, which has the defects of high energy consumption, great environmental pollution and low efficiency. Passive methods are mainly divided into three categories: constructing super-hydrophobic surfaces, injecting liquid into porous slippery surfaces, and low-modulus coating materials with special mechanical properties. Although these passive ice prevention methods have low ice adhesion, their durability is poor, and the interface state deteriorates under dynamic icing conditions, which may limit their application.

[0003] In a dynamic icing environment, the most commonly used ice prevention method is to use an electric heating coating for active ice prevention, which usually requires complex monitoring equipment to manage its heat power density. Patent CN110629151A discloses a novel electric heating coating and a preparation method thereof, which comprises a substrate and an electric heating layer, wherein the electric heating layer comprises a conductive layer, a bonding layer and an electrically insulating layer. Patent CN117946565A discloses an ice prevention electric heating coating structure and a preparation method thereof, which comprises a first coating layer, a second coating layer and a third coating layer, and can realize rapid heating and continuous electric heating effect. However, the above patents do not mention how to control the surface temperature of the electric heating coating. If the surface temperature of the electric heating coating is too high, it will cause ablation of the electric heating coating and reduce the service life. SUMMARY

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of the present application is to provide a self-temperature-controlled electric heating ice prevention coating and a coating layer thereof.
