Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of nanoplate production technology, specifically to a method and system for producing nanoplates with anti-stick conveying capabilities. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of nanomaterials and composite coating technology, applying anti-sticking materials such as fluorosilanes, PFA, and PTFE to the surface of conveyor belts has become a common practice to improve slab conveying efficiency and reduce adhesion risk. On existing nanoplate production lines, most use conventional PTFE spraying or directly use polyester mesh belts as the conveying medium to form an anti-stick layer through simple spraying or physical bonding. Combined with traditional high-pressure molding, laser cutting, surface spraying and drying, online inspection and other processes, basic production needs can be met. Existing nanoplate production lines mostly use PTFE sprayed with a thickness of only 5–10 μm or polyester mesh belts without an anti-stick layer. The coating has low adhesion to the substrate and is prone to peeling or cracking after high temperature, high pressure and repeated friction cycles, causing the static friction coefficient to rise rapidly to ≥0.30. It is necessary to stop the machine for cleaning or replace the conveyor belt every 100 hours or so. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, a nanoplate production method and its production system with anti-stick conveyor is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method and system for producing nanoplates with anti-stick conveyor, in order to solve the problem that existing nanoplate production lines mostly use PTFE sprayed or polyester mesh belts without anti-stick layers with a thickness of only 5-10μm. The coating has low adhesion to the substrate and is prone to peeling or cracking after high temperature, high pressure and multiple friction cycles, resulting in a rapid increase in the static friction coefficient to ≥0.30, which requires stopping the machine for cleaning or replacing the conveyor belt every 100 hours or so.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A method and system for producing nanoplates with anti-stick properties include the following steps: S1: The polymer resin, functional filler and additives are accurately weighed according to a mass ratio of 100:5:1; S2: Disperse and mix the weighted raw materials evenly; S3: The mixed materials are formed into a preliminary slab through high-pressure molding; S4: The slab is laser-cut to form the substrate; S5: The substrate is first coated with a PFA anti-stick undercoat, then coated with a fluorosilane nano-coating, and then dried. S6: Inspect the dimensions and weight of the substrate; S7: Install the silicone frame on the outside of the substrate that has passed the size and weight inspection; S8: Firmly bond the PET film to the substrate to complete the PET film encapsulation process; S9: Apply double-sided adhesive film, peel off the backing paper, and automatically transfer to the next station to complete the adhesive application process; S10: Uses an industrial camera to take 360° panoramic photos, and combines a defect recognition algorithm to automatically remove bubbles, scratches and other defects, thus completing the appearance inspection process. S11: The laser marking machine marks the batch number and production date, automatically sorts and boxes the products, and completes the final packaging with bubble wrap and sealing tape.

[0005] As a further optimization of the present invention, in S2, the raw materials after counterweighting are fed into a twin-screw mixer at a speed of 300 rpm and a screw temperature of 80°C for 5 minutes to achieve uniform dispersion of the materials.

[0006] As a further optimization of the present invention, in S3, high-pressure forming is performed by applying 1500 bar of pressure and holding it for 30 seconds through a thousand-ton hydraulic press mold, with the mold temperature maintained at 120°C, to form a preliminary slab.

[0007] As a further optimization of the present invention, in S4, the laser cutting utilizes a 200W CO2 laser, with a cutting speed of 20mm / s, an accuracy of ±0.1mm, and an edge roughness Ra≤2.5μm.

[0008] As a further optimization of the present invention, in S5, the fluorosilane nano-coating adopts electrostatic atomization spraying technology, and the spraying pressure is controlled at 0.2–0.4 MPa and the spraying distance is 150–200 mm, so as to uniformly coat the material with nano-additives.

[0009] As a further optimization of the present invention, in S5, a three-stage tunnel infrared / hot air drying process is used, with a three-stage tunnel air temperature of 140°C, an air speed of 2m / s, and a single section length of 3m. The three-stage tunnel infrared / hot air drying process uses a nano-anti-stick conveyor belt, the surface of which is subjected to plasma activation treatment and a fluorosilyl composite nano-coating is bonded in situ on it.

[0010] As a further optimization of the present invention, in S6, the detection deviation limits for substrate size and weight are ±0.2mm and ±1%, respectively. In the S7, the silicone frame is preheated to 60°C and then picked up and installed by a robotic arm.

[0011] As a further optimization of the present invention, in S8, the PET film and the substrate are pressed together by a hot press at 150°C and 0.8MPa pressure for 20s.

[0012] As a further optimization of the present invention, it includes the following components produced sequentially: a raw material counterweight device, a raw material mixing device, a high-pressure forming device, a laser cutting device, a surface spraying and drying device, a size / weight inspection device, a silicone frame mounting device, a PET film encapsulation device, an adhesive backing device, an appearance inspection device, and a qualified product inkjet packaging device.

[0013] As a further optimization of the present invention, a conveying anti-sticking unit is provided between the high-pressure forming device and the laser cutting device. This unit is composed of a polyester mesh belt matrix, a PFA polymer anti-sticking coating, and a fluorosilane nano-coating that is chemically bonded in situ after plasma activation, which are stacked sequentially to form a durable and self-healing nano-anti-sticking surface during the slab conveying process.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: In this invention, by using plasma-activated in-situ bonded fluorosilane nano-coating and self-healing microcapsule composite coating, the coating adhesion strength is significantly improved to ≥5MPa, the static friction coefficient is reduced to ≤0.15, and the number of anti-sticking cycles is increased to ≥1500. Combined with an online optical reflectivity and friction coefficient monitoring device, automatic early warning or switching to a backup line is achieved when the coating wear exceeds the limit, extending the downtime maintenance cycle to ≥1200h, thereby significantly improving the anti-sticking performance, operational reliability, and automation level of the production line.

A conveying anti-sticking unit is set between the high-pressure forming device and the laser cutting device.

It is used to form a durable and self-healing nano-anti-sticking surface during the slab conveying process, thereby effectively reducing the frequency of slab adhesion, jamming, and cleaning and maintenance.

[0018] Example 2 Plasma activation + fluorosilane nanocoating Pretreatment and coating: After the conveyor belt substrate is activated by low-temperature plasma (power 200W, treatment time 60s), fluorosilane nanoparticles are chemically bonded in situ. The coating thickness is 50–100 nm, and it is subsequently dried and cured by a three-stage tunnel infrared / hot air (140℃, 2m / s, 3m / segment).

The microcapsules have a diameter of 1–5 μm and are filled with low-viscosity silicone oil. Spraying parameters: electrostatic atomization 0.3MPa, spray distance 180mm, spray amount 0.8g / m², drying as in Example 2; Self-healing mechanism: When the coating develops microcracks due to friction or scratching, the microcapsules rupture and release silicone oil, which automatically fills the cracks and restores the non-stick surface. Performance indicators: Initial static friction coefficient ≤ 0.12; Cyclic adhesion resistance ≥ 1,500 cycles; No additional cleaning is required online, and it can run continuously for up to 1,200 hours.

The two layers are dried separately by tunnel-type infrared / hot air drying (PFA: 120℃, 1.5m / s; PTFE: 140℃, 2m / s, 3m / s each). Performance indicators: Initial static friction coefficient ≤ 0.10; Cyclic adhesion resistance ≥ 1,200 cycles; It has an online cleaning cycle of 1,000 hours and exhibits excellent chemical resistance and high-temperature resistance.
