Description

[0001] Cross-reference

[0002] This application is based on a Chinese application with the application number 202411833470.6 and the filing date of December 12, 2024, and claims its priority. The disclosure of this Chinese application is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Technical Field

[0003] This application belongs to the field of construction machinery, specifically an insulating boom and its preparation method, and also relates to a telescopic boom type aerial work platform including the insulating boom. Background Art

[0004] Insulating boom trucks were initially introduced into the power industry as special vehicles for live working at intermediate potential in occasions with convenient transportation and complex wiring. With the development of the power industry and continuous technological progress, insulating boom trucks have undergone multiple technological breakthroughs and product upgrades. In terms of working height, it has developed from the initial few meters and more than ten meters to the current 25 meters or even higher, which poses higher technical requirements for the performance of the insulating section of the vehicle's main boom. Currently, the last section of the main boom of telescopic insulating boom trucks is the insulating section, with a length ranging from 1 to 6 meters. Since this section is connected to the insulating boom, it not only needs to have excellent insulation performance and anti-bending performance, but also needs to meet the high anti-wear performance required for telescopic operation.

[0005] As Figure 1 shown, most of the current insulating booms on the market are composed of glass fiber as the reinforcing phase and resin as the continuous phase, and are composite-cured through the wet winding process. Due to the limitation of the wet winding process, the angle between the fiber arrangement direction and the mold central axis is usually more than 5°, and the characteristics of high strength and high modulus in the fiber axial direction cannot be fully utilized. In terms of insulation, the outer surface is usually sprayed with gel coat. Although it can achieve a certain weather resistance effect, its wear resistance is poor, it is easily worn during the telescopic process of the boom, and at the same time, the insulation performance is reduced, and regular repairs are required.

[0056] The following will further illustrate the substantive content of this application in combination with specific embodiments of this application. It should be understood that the following embodiments are only used to illustrate this application, but do not limit the protection scope of this application. For those conditions not specified in the following embodiments, they shall be carried out according to the conventional conditions or those recommended by the manufacturer. For the raw materials whose manufacturers are not specified, they are all conventional products that can be obtained through market purchase.

[0057] Although many of the materials and operation methods used in the following embodiments are well known in the art, this application still describes them in as much detail as possible here. Those skilled in the art are aware that if not otherwise specified, the materials and operation methods used in the following embodiments are well known in the art.

[0058] In order to improve the wear resistance and insulation of the insulating boom, this application provides an insulating boom and a telescopic boom working vehicle, such as for a telescopic boom aerial work vehicle (such as a telescopic boom insulating bucket truck).

[0059] The first embodiment of this application provides an insulating boom, as Figure 2 shown, including a fiber matrix and a wear-resistant layer. The wear-resistant layer is wrapped on the surface of the fiber matrix. The wear-resistant layer includes polyether ether ketone or polyimide, and the bonding strength between the wear-resistant layer and the fiber matrix is ≥25 MPa.

[0060] The wear-resistant layer of this application includes polyether ether ketone or polyimide, which are materials with high insulation and high wear resistance. Therefore, after setting the wear-resistant layer of this application, not only can the coating of gel coat be reduced, but also the surface wear resistance, impact resistance and anti-smashing performance of the insulating boom can be improved, the bump damage of the insulating boom can be reduced, and at the same time, the insulating boom has excellent insulation performance, can better isolate current, and reduce the risks of electric leakage and burns.

[0061] The greater the thickness of the wear-resistant layer, the better the durability of wear resistance. In some embodiments, the thickness of the wear-resistant layer is 1 mm - 5 mm, preferably 2 mm - 4 mm. It can not only meet the wear resistance requirements within the normal working life of the insulating boom, but also will not increase the material cost and volume of the insulating boom.

[0062] In some embodiments, the thickness of the fiber matrix is 15 mm - 20 mm.

[0063] In some embodiments, the wear-resistant layer is a wear-resistant plate. Preferably, the above polyether ether ketone comes from polyether ether ketone plates and / or the polyimide comes from polyimide plates, or in other words, the polyether ether ketone is a polyether ether ketone plate and the polyimide is a polyimide plate. Using a plate structure to provide the wear-resistant layer to form a wear-resistant plate is beneficial to the processing of the insulating boom. Moreover, forming the wear-resistant layer with a plate has better integrity of the wear-resistant layer compared to coating the wear-resistant layer, so it is less likely to be worn and maintains the long-term high insulation of the insulating boom.

[0064] In some embodiments, in order to further improve the bonding strength between the plate and the fiber matrix, it is preferred that the surface of the polyetheretherketone plate or the polyimide plate in contact with the fiber matrix is treated by plasma, preferably by atmospheric pressure plasma. The plasma treatment is used to hydrophilize the surface of the plate, so that the plate and the fiber matrix form a better bond, and the overall firmness of the two is increased. When the insulating boom is working under force, they have the same deformation amount, so that the insulation is better maintained.

[0065] The above plasma treatment can refer to the conventional plasma process. For example, the atmospheric pressure plasma is the atmospheric pressure plasma formed by carbon dioxide, methane or argon. It is preferred that the surface of the polyetheretherketone plate or the polyimide plate in contact with the fiber matrix is treated by atmospheric pressure plasma for 10 min - 15 min under the condition that the voltage is 20 V - 40 V. This can achieve sufficient bombardment and roughening of the plate surface, and can also avoid breakdown of the local part of the plate.

[0066] Of course, the methods that can improve the bonding strength between the plate and the fiber matrix are not limited to the above plasma treatment. Acid-base treatment, sandblasting treatment, ion beam bombardment treatment or surface grafting modification of the plate, or using a highly adhesive binder or ultrasonic welding can all improve the bonding strength between the plate and the fiber matrix.

[0067] In some embodiments, in order to further increase the tight wrapping of the polyetheretherketone and the polyimide with the fiber matrix and the firmness of their combination, thermoplastic polyetheretherketone and thermoplastic polyimide are selected.

[0068] In some embodiments, the wear-resistant layer is bonded to the fiber matrix through a first adhesive. Preferably, the first adhesive includes resin, and further preferably, the first adhesive includes epoxy resin or vinyl ester resin.

[0069] In some embodiments, the fiber matrix includes fibers and a second adhesive, and the fibers are bonded through the second adhesive. Preferably, the mass content of the fibers in the fiber matrix is 70% - 80%.

[0070] The above first adhesive can be the adhesive added between the fiber matrix and the wear-resistant layer during the preparation process, or can come from the second adhesive used for impregnating the fibers in the fiber matrix.

[0071] The adhesive in the above fiber matrix can be selected from the conventional adhesive materials of the insulating boom. For example, the second adhesive includes resin. In some embodiments, the second adhesive includes epoxy resin or vinyl ester resin. In some embodiments, a resin with a flexural strength of 140 MPa - 160 MPa is selected.

[0072] In some embodiments, the fibers include glass fibers and basalt fibers. Basalt fibers have higher rigidity than glass fibers, so they can withstand greater pressure and torsional forces, improving the load-bearing capacity of the insulating boom.

[0073] In some embodiments, by using the proportion combination of glass fibers and basalt fibers, on the basis of improving the rigidity of the insulating boom, it is made as lightweight and low-cost as possible. Preferably, the mass ratio of glass fibers to basalt fibers is 2:(5 - 1.5).

[0074] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned insulating boom extends in the first direction, and at least part of the glass fibers has an angle α with the first direction, 75° ≤ α ≤ 105°, preferably 85° ≤ α ≤ 95°.

[0075] In some embodiments, the insulating boom extends in the first direction, and at least part of the basalt fibers has an angle β with the first direction, -10° ≤ β ≤ 10°, preferably -5° ≤ β ≤ 5°. The above-mentioned basalt fibers can provide strong rigidity for the insulating boom. When the insulating boom is used in a work vehicle, it provides good rigid support for carrying operators and improves work safety.

[0076] In some embodiments, preferably, the remaining part of the basalt fibers has an angle γ with the first direction, 40° ≤ γ ≤ 50°, preferably satisfying 42° ≤ γ ≤ 48°. The above-mentioned basalt fibers provide strong anti-torsion performance for the insulating boom, and can reduce the deformation amount of the insulating boom caused by hanging items when the insulating boom needs to hang items, improving the working stability of the insulating boom.

[0077] It should be noted that the positive angles in the above angles represent the angles formed by counterclockwise rotation with the straight line where the first direction is located as the starting line, and the negative angles in the above angles represent the angles formed by clockwise rotation with the straight line where the first direction is located as the starting line.

[0078] The fibers in the fiber matrix are usually multi-layer wound. In some embodiments, along the direction perpendicular to the first direction, the fiber matrix includes n layers of fibers, 10 ≤ n ≤ 50.

[0079] The above-mentioned glass fibers and basalt fibers cooperate with each other, not only providing strong insulation performance for the insulating boom, but also improving its mechanical properties, providing rigid support and anti-torsion support for the insulating boom to meet various work requirements. In order to give full play to the advantages of the overall fibers, in some embodiments, the part of the basalt fibers with an angle β with the first direction is defined as the first part of the fibers, and the part of the basalt fibers with an angle γ with the first direction is defined as the second part of the fibers. Preferably, the ratio of the number of layers of the second part of the fibers, the number of layers of the glass fibers to the number of layers of the first part of the fibers is 1:(2 - 5):(3 - 10), preferably 1:(3 - 5):(5 - 10).

[0087] 7) The combustible content of the fiberglass ≤ 0.5%.

[0092] 4) The elastic modulus ≥ 90 GPa

[0093] 5) The moisture content ≤ 0.10%;

[0094] 6) The combustible content ≤ 0.5%.

[0095] To facilitate the installation of insulation comparison, in some embodiments, along the extension direction of the fiber, the fiber matrix has a hollow cavity. For example, a hollow cavity that penetrates along the extension direction of the fiber.

[0096] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned insulating boom is a telescopic insulating boom. Since the insulating boom of this application has good insulation and wear resistance, it is more beneficial to resist friction during telescoping when applied to a telescopic insulating boom.

[0106] The above-mentioned release agent can refer to conventional release agents, and the present application will not elaborate.
