Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of cables, and in particular relates to a high-toughness torsion-resistant cable for wind power generation. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of wind power technology, the scale and operating environment requirements of wind power equipment are constantly increasing, posing higher challenges to the performance of cables used in wind power generation. Traditional wind power cables have many defects in practical applications. First, the mechanical properties of existing cables are insufficient. Especially under high torsional stress and complex mechanical load conditions, they are prone to breakage or deformation, affecting the stable operation of wind power generation systems. Secondly, the heat resistance of traditional cables is limited. When working in a high temperature environment, the protective layer is prone to aging, resulting in cable performance degradation or even failure. In addition, the torsional resistance of existing cables is poor and cannot effectively withstand the frequent torsional stress of wind power equipment during operation. Especially in large-capacity, long-distance wind power generation scenarios, the torsional life of the cable becomes a key factor limiting system reliability.

[0003] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the present invention prepares a high-toughness torsion-resistant cable for wind power generation. Summary of the Invention

[0009] Step 2: Mix the prepolymer, tetrafluorobutanediol, and dibutyltin dilaurate, heat to 80-85°C and react for 1-2 hours, cool to 50-60°C, add 1,4-butanediol and dimethylthiotoluene diamine to extend the chain for 20-30 minutes, cool to 40°C, neutralize, filter and wash to obtain modified polyurethane.

[0011] More optimally, the preparation process of the modified monomer is:

[0012] S1: Tetrahydrofuran, magnesium, and iodine are mixed and stirred at 55-60°C for 1-2 hours, followed by the slow addition of 4-bromobiphenyl and the mixture is refluxed and stirred for 1-2 hours. After cooling, the resulting mixture is mixed with trichlorocyanuric acid and tetrahydrofuran, and the temperature is raised to 40-50°C. The reaction is continued for 1-2 hours, and the solvent is evaporated under reduced pressure. The mixture is extracted, dried, and purified to obtain biphenyltriazine.

[0013] S2: Biphenyltriazine, acetone, 3-allyl-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde, and sodium hydroxide were mixed, the temperature was raised to 50-60°C, the reaction was continued for 3-4 hours, and after post-treatment, the mixture was transferred to toluene, 4-(bromomethyl)aniline was added, the temperature was raised to 60-80°C, the reaction was continued for 3-4 hours, and the mixture was naturally cooled and filtered, washed, and dried; the mixture was transferred to a round-bottom flask, anhydrous ethanol and sodium borohydride were added, and magnetic stirring was performed at room temperature until no bubbles overflowed.

[0014] S3: Mix intermediate A, triphenylphosphine and toluene, increase the temperature to 50-60°C, and stir to react for 6-7 hours.

Under a protective atmosphere, add 1-thioglycerol and azobisisobutyronitrile solution, increase the temperature to 70-80°C, react for 3-4 hours, cool to room temperature, filter, wash, and dry to obtain a modified monomer.

[0015] In the scheme, tetrahydrofuran is used as a solvent, magnesium and iodine are mixed to form magnesium iodide, and then 4-bromobiphenyl is slowly added to generate 4-biphenyl magnesium bromide (Grignard reagent). Trichlorocyanuric acid is used as an electrophilic reagent to undergo a nucleophilic addition reaction with the Grignard reagent to ultimately generate biphenyltriazine. The reaction process is shown below:

[0016]

[0017] In the scheme, the phenolic hydroxyl group of 3-allyl-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde generates a more nucleophilic oxygen anion under alkaline conditions, which then undergoes a nucleophilic attack on the remaining chlorine atom in biphenyltriazine. The reaction process is shown below:

[0018]

[0019] Afterwards, the amino group of 4-(bromomethyl)aniline acts as a nucleophile to attack the carbonyl carbon of the aldehyde group it contains, forming an imine intermediate, which is then reduced to a secondary amine by sodium borohydride. The reaction process is as follows:

[0020]

[0021] In the scheme, intermediate A reacts with triphenylphosphine in toluene to generate a phosphonium salt. The double bond contained in the phosphonium salt undergoes a click reaction with 1-thioglycerol in the presence of azobisisobutyronitrile to obtain a modified monomer containing a diol structure, the structural formula of which is shown below:

[0028] More optimally, the modified kaolinite comprises the following components: by weight, 15-18 parts of kaolinite, 60-80 parts of N,N-dimethylformamide, and 3-5 parts of prepolymer.

[0029] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0030] This invention designs and synthesizes modified monomers containing special functional groups and introduces them into the polyurethane system to form a reinforced network, significantly improving the mechanical strength, torsional resistance, and heat resistance of the material. At the same time, the surface of kaolinite is functionalized to make it an efficient carrier for hydroxylated carbon nanotubes. By inhibiting agglomeration, enhancing interfacial bonding, and building a multi-scale collaborative network, the performance of the composite material is further optimized. The details are as follows:

[0031] The first approach involves introducing aromatic side chains into the polyurethane segments, leveraging the synergistic effects of π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding to enhance the mechanical properties of the material. The π-π stacking between the aromatic side chains creates dynamic crosslinks, while hydrogen bonds act as sacrificial bonds that break and reform under external forces, dissipating energy and improving the overall material's torsional resistance and heat resistance.

[0032] Second: In this scheme, the surface of kaolinite is chemically modified using prepolymer chain segments. Since the phosphonium salt contained in the prepolymer has ionic properties, it can undergo non-covalent ion-π interactions with the π electron cloud on the surface of the carbon nanotubes. This interaction can effectively inhibit the aggregation of the carbon nanotubes and make them more evenly dispersed in the polymer matrix. At the same time, the modified kaolinite contains chain segments similar to polyurethane, which effectively improves the compatibility of the inorganic filler in the matrix, thereby further improving the relevant performance of the material.

[0076] Testing: (1) The cables prepared in the examples and comparative examples were tested for their elongation at break and tensile strength using the national standard GB / T1040; (2) The cables prepared in the examples and comparative examples were rolled on a round rod and placed in an oven at 130°C for 24 hours. After being taken out, the cables were tested for cracking or breakage; (3) The cables prepared in the examples and comparative examples were hung on a rotating wheel, first rotated 1080° clockwise and then returned to the initial state, then twisted 1080° counterclockwise and returned to the initial state, at a rotation speed of 360° / min. This constituted one cycle, and a total of 3000 cycles were repeated to check for cracking. The data obtained are shown in the following table:

[0079] Conclusion: The present invention significantly improves the performance of cables for wind power generation by introducing modified monomers into the polyurethane system and optimizing the preparation process of the composite inorganic filler. Specifically, the cables of Examples 1 to 3 performed well in terms of elongation at break and tensile strength, reaching elongations at break of 780%, 765%, and 789%, and tensile strengths of 25.8 MPa, 26.8 MPa, and 28.7 MPa, respectively. These are much higher than the elongations at break of 653% and 630% and tensile strengths of 14.5 MPa and 12.8 MPa, respectively, of Comparative Examples 1 and 2. In addition, after being placed in a 130°C oven for 24 hours, the cables of the examples did not crack, while the cables of the comparative examples did crack; in the torsion resistance test, the cables of the examples did not change after 3,000 cycles of torsion, while the cables of the comparative examples did crack. These data indicate that the introduction of modified monomers and surface functionalization modification of kaolinite effectively enhance the mechanical strength, torsional resistance and heat resistance of the cable, making it more reliable and stable under complex working conditions.
