Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of thermal insulation technology, and in particular to a thermal insulation material and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of modern electronic technology, the power density of home appliances continues to increase. Chips generate a lot of heat during operation. If the heat cannot be managed in a timely and effective manner, it will not only cause the chip itself to reduce its frequency due to overheating, unstable operation, shortened lifespan or even burn out, but may also pose a threat to the performance and safety of the entire home appliance. Therefore, effective thermal management has become a key technical issue to ensure the performance stability and service life of home appliances. Traditional heat dissipation methods mainly rely on active heat dissipation methods such as metal radiators and fans. However, in home appliances with limited space, these solutions often have problems such as heavy weight, high noise, and high energy consumption. Therefore, the development of efficient thermal insulation materials has become an important way to solve the thermal management problem of home appliances.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN106400301A discloses food-grade glass wool for home appliance insulation and its manufacturing method. The glass wool is composed of 95.9-97.8 parts by weight of centrifugal glass fiber, 2.0-3.5 parts of binder, and 0.2-0.6 parts of water. The thermal conductivity and other quality indicators of the fiber are as follows: thermal conductivity ≥ 0.042w / km, fiber diameter ≤ 6.0μm, and tensile strength ≥ 16N / cm 2 , cotton distribution uniformity ≤ 10%, slag shot content ≤ 0.5%, formaldehyde release rate 0, compression resilience-compression rate ≥ 50%, compression resilience-recovery rate ≥ 78%, fiber appearance smooth, uniform color, soft fiber, and good rebound. The glass wool of the present invention has low bulk density, thin thickness, and good elasticity, making it particularly suitable for use as thermal insulation glass wool in food-grade household appliances. However, this method has high equipment requirements and complex processes, resulting in high production costs.

[0004] Silica aerogel is a new type of lightweight nanoporous material with the characteristics of high specific surface area, high porosity and low thermal conductivity, and has excellent thermal insulation properties. However, due to its poor mechanical properties, the application of single silica aerogel is severely limited. At the same time, existing aerogel composites often use a simple physical mixing method, resulting in poor compatibility between different components, and the comprehensive performance of the composite material is difficult to achieve the ideal effect. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new type of composite thermal insulation material and its preparation technology that has excellent thermal insulation performance, good mechanical properties, environmental friendliness and economic feasibility, so as to meet the urgent demand for efficient thermal management of modern home appliances. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a heat-insulating material and a preparation method thereof. The heat-insulating material obtained by the present invention has a low thermal conductivity and good mechanical properties.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention proposes a method for preparing a thermal insulation material, which comprises treating an inorganic glass fiber felt with a silane coupling agent, coating its surface with a thermal insulation coating composed of a mixture of sodium silicate, alumina powder, aerogel composite, calcium carbonate, carboxymethyl cellulose ether, sodium lauryl sulfate, and water, and drying the coating to obtain the thermal insulation material.

[0007] Preferably, the silane coupling agent is at least one of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, γ-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, and isocyanatepropyltriethoxysilane.

[0008] Preferably, the mass ratio of the sodium silicate, alumina powder, aerogel composite, calcium carbonate, carboxymethyl cellulose ether, sodium lauryl sulfate, and water is 10-30:20-30:10-20:5-10:1-5:0.1-0.5:50-80.

[0009] Further preferably, the method for preparing the aerogel composite comprises the following steps:

[0010] (1) adding hydrotalcite to water, heating and stirring, adding sodium lauryl sulfate, continuing stirring, filtering, washing, drying, and then adding to ethanol aqueous solution, adding KH550, stirring and reacting, filtering, collecting the solid, washing, and drying to obtain modified hydrotalcite;

[0011] (2) adding silica aerogel powder to an ethanol aqueous solution, adding mercaptopropylmethyldimethoxysilane, stirring to react, filtering, collecting the solid, washing, drying, and adding it to anhydrous ethanol, adding 2-aminocinnamic acid and a photoinitiator, and reacting under ultraviolet light to obtain a modified silica aerogel;

[0012] (3) Adding the modified hydrotalcite and the modified SiO2 aerogel to anhydrous ethanol, adding epichlorohydrin, adjusting the pH value to 8-9, and reflux reaction, adding the obtained solid product to water, then adding Na2HPO4 aqueous solution, and then adding ammonia water to adjust the pH to 11-12 to obtain a mixed slurry; adding Ca(NO3)2 aqueous solution to the mixed slurry, adding ammonia water during the addition to maintain the pH at 10-11, carrying out a hydrothermal reaction after the addition is completed, filtering, washing, and drying after the reaction is completed to obtain an aerogel composite.

[0013] Preferably, in step (1), the mass ratio of hydrotalcite, sodium lauryl sulfate and KH550 is 10-15:1-3:1-2; the heating reaction temperature is 60-80°C; the stirring reaction temperature is 40-60°C, and the reaction time is 3-5h.

[0014] In this step, sodium dodecyl sulfate is first used to replace the original anions between the hydrotalcite layers through ion exchange, which not only significantly increases the interlayer spacing but also destroys the interlayer hydrogen bond network, which is conducive to dispersion; then it is aminated using the silane coupling agent KH550 to provide reaction sites for subsequent chemical bonding.

[0015] Preferably, in step (2), the mass ratio of silica aerogel, mercaptopropylmethyldimethoxysilane, 2-aminocinnamic acid and photoinitiator is 15-25:3-5:4-6:0.5-1; the photoinitiator is one of benzophenone, benzoin methyl ether, and 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropiophenone; the stirring reaction temperature is 60-80°C, and the reaction time is 1-3h.

[0016] In this step, the silica aerogel powder is subjected to hydrophobic treatment on the pore surface. By grafting hydrophobic functional groups to resist capillary stress, the cracking of the aerogel and the collapse of the three-dimensional network structure are effectively prevented; and active amino groups are provided for subsequent reactions.

[0017] Preferably, in the step (3), the mass ratio of the modified hydrotalcite, modified SiO2 aerogel, epichlorohydrin, Na2HPO4 aqueous solution, and Ca(NO3)2 aqueous solution is 3-5:2-4:5-8:10-12:15-18; the concentration of the Na2HPO4 aqueous solution is 0.5-0.7 mol / L; the concentration of the Ca(NO3)2 aqueous solution is 0.8-1 mol / L; the hydrothermal reaction temperature is 130-140°C, and the time is 6-8h.

[0018] In this step, the modified hydrotalcite and the modified SiO2 aerogel are compounded under the cross-linking action of epichlorohydrin to form a stable covalent bond bridge between the two, forming a stable composite structure. Phase separation is avoided through chemical bonding, and the interface voids during ordinary physical mixing are avoided, thereby greatly reducing the thermal conductivity of the aerogel composite. Hydrotalcite has a layered structure and a high modulus, and acts as a rigid skeleton in the composite system, avoiding excessive deformation of the aerogel when subjected to stress, thereby improving the overall structural mechanical properties and stability, thereby enhancing the thermal insulation performance of the material. Finally, hydroxyapatite is in situ generated in the composite structure through a hydrothermal reaction. On the one hand, its low thermal conductivity and nanoscale size are utilized to further fill the tiny pores in the composite structure, forming a denser and more tortuous heat conduction path, which significantly enhances the thermal insulation performance of the material.

[0019] Preferably, the coating thickness of the thermal insulation coating is 3-5 mm.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] The preparation process of the present invention is simple and controllable. It uses an inorganic glass fiber mat as a framework, and coats its surface with a thermal insulation coating, thus avoiding the problem of cracking of the thermal insulation coating due to thermal expansion and contraction. The inorganic glass fiber mat is treated with a silane coupling agent to enhance the interfacial bonding between the inorganic glass fiber mat and the thermal insulation coating, allowing the thermal insulation coating to penetrate the interfiber gaps of the glass fiber mat, forming a strong integrated structure. The addition of an aerogel composite significantly reduces the thermal conductivity of the material and improves its thermal insulation properties. Using it for thermal management of home appliance chips can provide a stable operating temperature environment for the chips and greatly enhance the overall safety of the home appliances.
