Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of containers, and more specifically, to a composite material container. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional shipping containers are open-top (without a roof) containers, used in the open for everyday transport, primarily for rail transport of hard and corrosive goods such as ores. During loading and unloading, the impact of stones and other materials, as well as the repeated friction between the cargo and the sides and floor during tipping, easily causes the paint coating to peel off. Furthermore, due to the open top, rain or dew during daily use can cause water to accumulate inside the container, which, when in contact with sulfur or other contaminants, makes the already peeling coating areas more susceptible to rust. Because of cost considerations, the wall panels and flooring used in shipping containers are relatively thin; excessive rust can lead to the base material peeling off and even rusting through, affecting the normal transport of goods.
[0003] Currently, containers mainly use paint spraying for corrosion protection. However, when used to transport hard and corrosive bulk cargo such as ores, they have the following technical defects: insufficient mechanical strength, with the coating peeling off due to impact and wear from the ores; poor corrosion resistance, with sulfide corrosion causing the substrate to rust; and the overall lifespan of the container is only 4 to 5 years. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a composite material container with excellent corrosion resistance.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application is implemented as follows:
[0006] This invention provides a composite material container, characterized in that the composite material container comprises a container body consisting of a bottom, side walls, and ends;
[0007] The bottom includes a first steel substrate and a first coating disposed on the inner surface of the first steel substrate along the thickness direction; the first coating, from near to far from the first steel substrate, includes a first impregnation layer, a first glass fiber layer, a second impregnation layer, a second glass fiber layer, and a first surface adhesive layer.
[0008] The sidewall includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall; the end includes a first end and a second end;
[0009] The first sidewall, the second sidewall, the first end, and the second end each independently include a second steel substrate; the second steel substrate is divided into an upper half and a lower half along the height direction at the midpoint of the steel substrate;
[0010] The second steel material includes a second coating disposed on the inner surface of the upper half of the second steel material substrate along the thickness direction and a third coating disposed on the inner surface of the lower half of the second steel material substrate along the thickness direction.
[0011] The second coating, from the nearest to the farthest part of the upper half of the second steel substrate, includes a third impregnation layer, a third glass fiber layer, and a second surface adhesive layer; the third coating, from the nearest to the farthest part of the lower half of the second steel substrate, includes a fourth impregnation layer, a fourth glass fiber layer, a fifth impregnation layer, a fifth glass fiber layer, and a third surface adhesive layer.
[0012] Preferably, the first steel matrix and the second steel matrix comprise carbon steel.
[0013] Preferably, the thickness of the first steel substrate is 3-6 mm;
[0014] The thickness of the second steel substrate is 1.6 to 4 mm.
[0015] Preferably, the roughness of the first steel substrate and the second steel substrate are each independently Sa2 to Sa3.
[0016] Preferably, the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth wetting and penetrating layers are each independently made of vinyl resin.
[0017] Preferably, the thickness of each of the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth wetting and penetrating layers is independently 0.1 to 0.3 mm.
[0018] Preferably, the thickness of each of the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth glass fiber layers is independently 0.3 to 1 mm.
[0019] Preferably, the first surface coating layer, the second surface coating layer, and the third surface coating layer are each independently made of vinyl resin.
[0020] Preferably, the thickness of the first surface adhesive layer, the second surface adhesive layer, and the third surface adhesive layer is independently 0.1 to 0.5 mm.
[0021] The beneficial technical effects of the present invention through the above technical solution are as follows:
[0022] Compared to the traditional carbon steel + paint, "carbon steel + vinyl ester resin + fiberglass" has stronger impact resistance and corrosion resistance, which can extend the service life of the enclosure. This process is more suitable for the repair of old enclosures. For localized damage to the steel structure, traditional repairs require welding, grinding and painting at the damaged site. This solution can directly repair localized damage with fiberglass to achieve the same strength effect.
