Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of air spring materials, and in particular to a high fatigue life rubber compound for air springs and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Air springs, as a key component with support, shock absorption and buffering functions, are widely used in commercial vehicles, construction machinery, rail transit and other fields. At present, natural rubber (NR) is still a common base material for air spring compounds due to its excellent elasticity and low cost. However, it has obvious shortcomings in actual use: Insufficient fatigue performance: Air springs need to be repeatedly inflated and deflated during operation and withstand dynamic loads (such as bumps and vibrations during vehicle driving). The unsaturated double bonds in the NR molecular chain are easily broken under long-term stress, resulting in a decrease in the elasticity of the compound, cracks, and a generally short fatigue life. Poor environmental adaptability: Under conditions of high temperature and ozone, NR undergoes rapid thermal oxidation aging and ozone aging, which manifests as rubber hardening and cracking, further shortening the service life of the air spring and even causing safety hazards such as leakage and failure. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a high fatigue life rubber compound for air springs and a preparation method thereof.
[0004] In a first aspect, the present application provides a high fatigue life rubber compound for air springs, which is prepared from the following components in parts by weight: 100 parts of rubber, 20-40 parts of high wear-resistant carbon black, 10-30 parts of semi-reinforcing carbon black, 3-10 parts of white carbon black, 3-10 parts of naphthenic oil, 4-8 parts of zinc oxide, 0.5-1.5 parts of stearic acid, 5-15 parts of antioxidant, 1-3 parts of bimodal wax, 1.5-3 parts of sulfur, and 1-3 parts of accelerator; The rubber is composed of a mixture of natural rubber and butadiene rubber in a weight ratio of 7-9:1-3; The antioxidant is composed of a mixture of quinoline antioxidant RD, amine antioxidant 4020, amine antioxidant 6PPD, amine antioxidant 3100, phenolic antioxidant 2246, and Mg-Al layered double hydroxide in a weight ratio of 1-3:1-3:1-3:1-3:1-3:0.1-0.5; The accelerator is composed of a mixture of accelerator CZ and accelerator DTDM in a weight ratio of 0.5-1.5:0.5-1.5.
[0005] The technical solution adopted in this application aims to construct a "rubber-antiaging agent-protective wax synergistic protection system" to solve the problems of mixed rubber properties, resistance to thermal oxidation aging, and resistance to ozone aging.
[0006] Among rubbers, BR has highly regular and flexible molecular chains, and its unsaturated double bonds are more evenly distributed. This allows the chains to slide and rearrange more smoothly under repeated deformation (fatigue conditions), minimizing stress concentration and making crack propagation due to localized chain breakage less likely. However, BR has poor tear resistance and inferior processing performance to NR (due to higher heat generation). Therefore, using a combination of natural rubber and BR in a certain ratio can achieve a balanced performance by leveraging BR's improved fatigue performance while retaining NR's tear resistance, resistance to thermal and ozone aging, and processing advantages.
[0007] This application adopts a synergistic scheme of main and auxiliary antioxidants in the anti-aging system of the air spring, designed for its dynamic working conditions and complex environment, by constructing an antioxidant / Mg-Al layered double hydroxide hybrid dispersion system: the antioxidant can be embedded in the interlayer of the Mg-Al layered double hydroxide through ion exchange, and the active ingredients are slowly released at high temperature to capture free radicals. The metal itself has antioxidant activity, which synergistically improves heat resistance with the organic antioxidant. Quinoline antioxidant RD focuses on resistance to thermal oxidation and dynamic fatigue aging, and stabilizes the rubber structure; amine antioxidants 4020, 6PPD, and 3100 focus on scavenging free radicals and quickly consuming ozone, among which 4020 and 6PPD are more resistant to ozone, and 3100 also takes into account resistance to flexural aging; phenolic antioxidant 2246, on the one hand, can decompose peroxides produced by amine reactions, avoid secondary oxidation, and extend the life of the main agent; on the other hand, it can reduce discoloration caused by amine oxidation, taking into account the appearance; in terms of synergistic effect, quinoline and amine antioxidants form a "structural stability-active protection" complement, and phenols "clean up by-products" to strengthen protection, ultimately reducing the rate of thermal oxidation aging, delaying ozone cracking, and meeting the long-term use needs of air springs.
[0008] Bimodal wax acts as a physical barrier. The protective wax can form a uniform wax film on the surface of the rubber compound through migration, acting like an "outer shield" to block ozone molecules from directly invading the interior of the rubber compound, reducing the probability of contact between ozone and rubber molecules. Especially in static or low-stress states, it can quickly build a first line of defense. Bimodal wax has a special carbon number distribution, containing a relatively large number of low-carbon atomic components and a certain amount of high-carbon atomic components. At low temperatures, low-carbon alkanes can quickly migrate to the rubber surface to form a protective film; at high temperatures, high-carbon alkane components can gradually precipitate to play a protective role, ensuring long-term protective effects. Combined with the rationality of the carbon number distribution and compatibility with rubber, as well as reasonable addition amount and process control, a uniform and dense protective film can be formed on the rubber surface, thereby providing ozone protection for the product over the entire temperature range, especially suitable for the protection needs of air springs under different temperature fluctuation conditions.
[0009] This application utilizes a "rubber-antioxidant-protective wax synergistic protection system" that synergistically achieves dual protection through "physical barrier + chemical removal": the wax film reduces ozone erosion efficiency through physical barrier, while the anti-aging system simultaneously counteracts penetrating ozone and thermal oxygen aging. The two form a closed-loop protection system that collectively minimizes the risk of ozone cracking and thermal oxygen aging. This system is more suitable for the long-term use requirements of air springs under complex operating conditions.

A method for preparing a high fatigue life rubber compound according to any one of claims 1 to 8, characterized in that: Specifically, the following steps are performed in sequence: (1) Add natural rubber to the internal mixer for plastication, open the mixer to produce sheets, cool and then leave for 24-72 hours; (2) Add butyl rubber, zinc oxide, stearic acid, antioxidant, bimodal wax and sulfur to the plasticized natural rubber according to the formula ratio, mix them at a temperature of 60-80℃ for 40-60s, and then raise the top bolt; (3) Then add high wear-resistant carbon black, semi-reinforced carbon black, white carbon black and naphthenic oil, and mix at a temperature of 120-140 ° C for 60-90 seconds, discharge the material, and raise the top plug 1-2 times in the middle to volatilize some small molecular organic matter; (4) Thinly pass the material on the open mill, and the sheet is discharged from the open mill to obtain the rubber compound; (5) Cool the above rubber compound to room temperature and leave it for more than 8 hours to obtain a masterbatch; (6) Add the above masterbatch into the internal mixer, add the accelerator according to the formula ratio, mix for 100-150s, and discharge when the temperature is ≤100℃; (7) Thinning and producing strips on the open mill; (8) After cooling to 20-25℃, let it stand for 16-24 hours to obtain the finished product.
10. Use of the high fatigue life rubber compound according to any one of claims 1 to 8 in the preparation of air springs.
