Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of fireproof materials, in particular to a special fireproof thermal insulation material, a preparation method and an inductive fireproof car cover. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of new energy vehicle industry, the global annual sales have broken through ten million vehicles, and the cross-regional transportation demand has surged. However, as the core component of new energy vehicles, the fire accident caused by thermal runaway of lithium batteries has become a major hidden danger in the transportation industry. In the fire accident of land sedan transport vehicles, the burnout rate of the whole vehicle carrier is as high as 85%, and the core problem is that the existing protection technology cannot meet the special prevention and control requirements of lithium battery fire. In the prior art, the fireproof car cover is mostly made of traditional glass fiber cloth, flame-retardant canvas and other materials. Such materials have poor flame-retardant effect, low thermal insulation efficiency, insufficient temperature resistance and flame retardance, and cannot cope with the high temperature of thermal runaway of lithium battery combustion. At the same time, there is no inductive early warning capability, and it cannot meet the composite requirements of high temperature fireproofing and intelligent early warning in the transportation scene.

[0003] It is worth noting that nylon materials have been considered as a potential alternative option for fireproof protection materials due to their high specific strength, corrosion resistance and excellent processability. However, the flame-retardant protection performance of existing nylon materials has significant shortcomings: the flame-retardant grade of ordinary nylon without modification is only UL94V-2 level, and the oxygen index is only 20-22%, and the melting and dripping phenomenon during combustion will accelerate the spread of fire. Even if the flame-retardant modification is used, the existing technology still has many limitations: halogen-containing flame-retardant nylon will release toxic gases during combustion, which does not meet the environmental protection requirements; the mainstream halogen-free flame-retardant system such as red phosphorus and melamine salt can improve the flame-retardant grade to UL94V-0 level, but red phosphorus has problems of moisture absorption and oxidation, poor compatibility, and melamine salt has poor thermal stability and is easy to absorb moisture, resulting in a decrease in electrical performance of the material in a humid environment. More importantly, the flame-retardant time efficiency of such modified nylon is very short, and it can only resist flame burning for dozens of seconds, which is far from meeting the requirement of more than 5 minutes of protection after thermal runaway of the power battery in GB38031-2020, and the carbonized layer formed during combustion is loose and fragile, which cannot effectively block the transmission of heat and oxygen, and even some glass fiber reinforced modified products will accelerate combustion due to the "wick effect".

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a special fireproof thermal insulation material and an inductive fireproof car cover to solve the safety problem of new energy vehicle transportation. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present application provides a special fireproof thermal insulation material, a preparation method and an inductive fireproof car cover.

[0006] In a first aspect, the application provides a special fireproof and heat insulation material, which comprises a modified nylon material, nano ceramic microcrystals and fiber reinforced materials, wherein the nano ceramic microcrystals and the fiber reinforced materials are used to cooperate with the modified nylon material to obtain the special fireproof and heat insulation material.

[0007] The modified nylon material is obtained by introducing high-temperature-resistant and flame-retardant groups on the nylon main chain through copolymerization of caprolactam, terephthalic acid, diphenyl phosphinic chloride and melamine.

[0008] Preferably, the special fireproof and heat insulation material further comprises a functional additive; the special fireproof and heat insulation material comprises the following components in parts by weight: 50-60 parts of the modified nylon material, 20-30 parts of the nano ceramic microcrystals, 10-15 parts of the fiber reinforced materials and 5-10 parts of the functional additive.

[0009] Preferably, the modified nylon material comprises the following components in percentage by mass: 70-80% of caprolactam, 10-20% of terephthalic acid, 4-6% of diphenyl phosphinic chloride, 2-4% of melamine and 0.1-0.3% of a catalyst.

[0010] In this case, the benzene ring provided by terephthalic acid is copolymerized with caprolactam to form an aromatic amide bond containing a benzene ring in the polyamide main chain, and the conjugated π bond structure of the aromatic ring has a very high bond energy and can resist bond rupture at high temperatures; at the same time, the steric hindrance effect of the aromatic ring inhibits the thermal motion of the molecular chain, avoiding the melting and collapse of the substrate at high temperatures; the copolymerization of diphenyl phosphinic chloride and melamine forms a phosphorus-nitrogen synergistic flame-retardant system; at high temperatures, the phosphorus source first decomposes to generate acidic substances such as phosphoric acid and polyphosphoric acid, catalyzing the dehydration and carbonization of the nylon matrix to form a dense carbonized layer, thereby blocking the transfer of heat and oxygen to the interior; the nitrogen source synchronously decomposes to release inert gases such as NH3 and N2, which on the one hand dilutes the oxygen concentration in the combustion area, and on the other hand cools the combustion interface, becoming the core matrix skeleton of the material to resist high temperature and flame of lithium battery fire.

[0011] Preferably, the nano ceramic microcrystals comprise the following components in percentage by mass: 75-80% of nano alumina, 16-25% of tetraethyl orthosilicate and 2-3% of a promoter.

[0012] In this case, the nano alumina has a melting point as high as 2054℃, and can form a stable ceramic shell at high temperatures to block the transfer of heat to the interior of the material; the silicon-oxygen network structure formed by the hydrolysis and condensation of tetraethyl orthosilicate further enhances the density of the heat insulation layer, reduces heat conduction and heat radiation, and realizes dual protection of physical blocking and chemical flame retardation.

[0013] Preferably, the functional additive comprises phosphoric acid ester melamine salt, silane coupling agent KH-550, nano montmorillonite, zinc stearate and antioxidant 1010.

[0014] Preferably, the catalyst includes any one of dibutyltin dilaurate, stannous octoate, dibutyltin dioctoate and dibutyltin maleate.

[0015] Preferably, the accelerator includes any one of γ-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, N-(β-aminoethyl)-γ-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane and γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane.

[0016] Preferably, the mass ratio of the phosphate melamine salt, the silane coupling agent KH-550, the nano montmorillonite, the zinc stearate and the antioxidant 1010 is (5-6):(0.8-1.7):(1.2-2.3):(0.4-0.6):(0.2-0.4).

[0017] In this case, the zinc stearate as a lubricant can reduce the melt viscosity of the material in the double-screw extrusion process, reduce the friction between the screw and the material, and ensure the stability of the extrusion molding; the antioxidant 1010 can capture free radicals generated during the aging process of the material, inhibit the oxidative degradation of the polymer chain, and prolong the service life of the material.

[0018] In this case, the nano montmorillonite has a sheet structure and can delay the movement of the polymer chain segment through sheet layer blocking after uniform dispersion, and the surface hydroxyl group reacts with the amino group of the silane coupling agent KH-550 to enhance the compatibility with the matrix, and the rigidity and toughness of the material are taken into account.

[0019] In a second aspect, the application provides a preparation method of a special fireproof and heat-insulating material, including the following steps:

[0020] Take caprolactam, terephthalic acid, diphenylphosphinic chloride, melamine and a catalyst, add them into a high-pressure reaction kettle, mix them uniformly under the condition of nitrogen protection and temperature rising to 260-280℃, and keep the temperature for 2-3h; continue to keep the temperature for 2-3h under the condition of pressure reduction to-0.08~-0.10MPa, and cool and granulate to obtain a modified nylon material;

[0021] Disperse nano alumina in ethanol, and ultrasonic for 30-40min; drop the mixed solution of tetraethyl orthosilicate and the accelerator, stir at 30-40℃ for 2-3h; heat to 80℃ for reflux for 4-5h, centrifugal dry at 80℃ for 10-12h to obtain nano ceramic microcrystal;

[0022] Mix chopped basalt fiber and carbon fiber according to the mass ratio (6-8):(2-4), add them into acetone for ultrasonic dispersion for 1h; add 4-5wt% of phosphate, stir at 60℃ for 4-5h, filter and dry at 100℃ for 8-10h to obtain a fiber reinforced material;

[0023] Modified nylon material, nano-ceramic microcrystals, fiber-reinforcing materials and functional additives are mixed in proportion, added to a twin-screw extruder, and extruded at 230-250℃ to obtain a special fireproof and heat-insulating material.

[0024] Thirdly, this application provides an induction-type fire-resistant suit, comprising a base layer, a fireproof and heat-insulating layer, and a corrosion-resistant surface layer arranged sequentially from the inside out. The fireproof and heat-insulating layer is made of a special fireproof and heat-insulating material. The induction-type fire-resistant suit is also equipped with an intelligent early warning component, which will immediately trigger an alarm when it detects that the ambient temperature exceeds a preset warning temperature.

[0025] Preferably, the intelligent early warning component includes a magnetic thermocouple sensor, a high-temperature resistant three-core shielded wire, an intelligent transmission control device, and a linked warning light. The magnetic thermocouple sensor is connected to the intelligent transmission control device via the high-temperature resistant three-core shielded wire. The magnetic thermocouple sensor is also electrically connected to a signal processing module, which is connected to the intelligent transmission control device. The intelligent transmission control device is connected to the linked warning light, the audible and visual alarm unit, and the duty room communication module. The duty room communication module establishes a communication connection with the user's mobile terminal. The intelligent transmission control device also has a built-in rechargeable power supply module.

[0026] Preferably, the base layer is made of glass fiber and aramid fiber blended in a mass ratio of (5-7):(3-5), with a thickness of 0.5-0.8 mm.

[0027] Preferably, the anti-corrosion surface layer is made of polytetrafluoroethylene coated fabric with a thickness of 0.3-0.5 mm.

[0028] Preferably, the base layer, the fireproof and heat-insulating layer, and the anti-corrosion surface layer are connected by an adhesive, wherein the adhesive is HT-8360 single-component silicone-modified epoxy adhesive.

[0029] Preferably, the temperature measurement range of the magnetic thermocouple sensor is -40℃ to 1600℃, with an accuracy of ±0.5℃, and a high-temperature resistant magnetic block is provided on the contact surface between the sensor and the vehicle body.

[0030] Beneficial technical effects:

[0031] This invention introduces amide bonds containing benzene rings (-CONH-C6H4-CONH-) into the polyamide backbone by copolymerizing caprolactam and terephthalic acid. The conjugated π-bond structure of the aromatic ring has extremely high bond energy, which can resist bond breakage at high temperatures. At the same time, the steric hindrance effect of the aromatic ring inhibits the thermal motion of the molecular chain, which can stably maintain the polyamide backbone structure at high temperatures and prevent early decomposition, thus providing a carrier for the formation of subsequent fire-retardant structures. Meanwhile, the phosphorus-nitrogen synergistic system formed by the copolymerization of diphenylphosphine chloride and melamine, at high temperatures, decomposes the phosphorus source to generate acidic substances such as phosphoric acid and polyphosphoric acid, which catalyze the dehydration and carbonization of the nylon matrix to form a dense carbonized layer, blocking the transfer of heat and oxygen to the interior; the nitrogen source decomposes simultaneously to release inert gases such as NH3 and N2, which dilute the oxygen concentration in the combustion zone on the one hand and cool the combustion interface on the other; at the same time, the nano-alumina in the nano-ceramic microcrystals has a melting point as high as 2054℃, which can form a stable ceramic shell at high temperatures, blocking the transfer of heat to the interior of the material; the silicon-oxygen network structure (SiO2) formed by the hydrolysis and condensation of tetraethyl orthosilicate further enhances the density of the heat insulation layer, reduces heat conduction and heat radiation, and achieves dual protection of physical barrier and chemical flame retardancy; the fiber reinforcement material forms chemical bonds with the polar groups (such as amide bonds) of the modified nylon, which improves the interfacial bonding force. When the material is under stress, the fiber can bear part of the load through stress transfer, inhibit crack propagation, and solve the problem of high-temperature embrittlement of pure polymer materials. Ultimately, it achieves the effect of heat insulation and fireproofing, preventing the material from melting, the flame from spreading, and heat from penetrating.

[0032] Based on the aforementioned special fireproof and heat-insulating materials, the induction-type fire-resistant car cover, combined with intelligent early warning components, improves the initial fire control rate. It can solve the shortcomings of traditional car covers, such as poor heat insulation and fireproof performance, delayed early warning, and cumbersome loading and unloading, significantly reducing economic losses and clearing safety obstacles for the large-scale development of the new energy vehicle transportation industry.

After 1000 simulated sand and dust scrapings, the material had poor impact resistance, with scratches 2-3mm deep appearing and the base layer fibers exposed. When heated to 80℃, the sensor triggered an alarm within 100ms, and the duty room received the signal within 5s, with a response delay of ≤0.5s.

[0079] Comparative Example 2

[0080] This comparative example provides a special fireproof and heat-insulating material, which differs from Example 1 in that: the nano-ceramic microcrystals are replaced with calcium carbonate, while the other process parameters and operating steps are exactly the same as in Example 1.

[0081] Performance testing: After being burned at 1500℃ for 12 minutes, the temperature inside the car cover rose to 120℃, and cracks appeared in the fireproof and heat-insulating layer. After burning for 20 minutes, the temperature inside exceeded 180℃, and the paint surface of the car body wrinkled. After 48 hours of 5% salt spray testing, ordinary calcium carbonate peeled off from the substrate after absorbing moisture, and bulges appeared on the material surface. After 1000 simulated sand and dust scratches, the material had poor impact resistance, with scratches 2-3mm deep appearing and the base layer fibers exposed. When heated to 80℃, the sensor triggered an alarm within 100ms, and the duty room received the signal within 5s, with a response delay of ≤0.5s.

[0082] Comparative Example 3

[0083] This comparative example provides a special fireproof and heat-insulating material. The difference between this example and Example 1 is that the fiber-reinforced material is replaced with glass fiber material, while the other process parameters and operating steps are exactly the same as in Example 1.

[0084] Performance testing: After being burned in a 1500℃ flame for 15 minutes, the fiberglass accelerated its combustion due to the "wick effect," resulting in localized burn-through of the fireproof and heat-insulating layer, with the inner temperature rising to 160℃; after a 48-hour 5% salt spray test, the fiberglass cloth hardened after absorbing moisture, the anti-corrosion surface peeled off from the base layer, and pitted rust appeared on the vehicle body; after 1000 simulated sand and dust scratches, the material showed poor impact resistance, with scratches appearing 2-3mm deep; when heated to 80℃, the sensor triggered an alarm within 100ms, and the duty room received the signal within 5s, with a response delay of ≤0.5s.

[0085] The special fireproof and heat-insulating materials prepared in Examples 1-3 of this invention are based on the copolymerization of caprolactam and terephthalic acid, introducing amide bonds containing benzene rings (-CONH-C6H4-CONH-) into the polyamide backbone. Their high bond energy resists bond breakage at high temperatures, preventing the high-temperature substrate from melting and collapsing. Simultaneously, relying on a phosphorus-nitrogen synergistic flame-retardant system, it overcomes the bottleneck of the traditional nylon's inability to simultaneously achieve temperature resistance and flame retardancy, and can withstand the high-temperature impact of lithium battery fires. Combined with core-shell structured nano-ceramic microcrystals as key heat-insulating units, it constructs a highly efficient, low-thermal-conductivity heat-insulating barrier, blocking the penetration of external high temperatures into the interior. The high strength of the fiber-reinforced fibers forms a mechanical skeleton, resisting structural damage from transportation bumps and high temperatures, thus improving heat insulation and fireproofing efficiency.

[0086] Based on the aforementioned special fireproof and heat-insulating materials, the induction-type fire-resistant car cover, combined with magnetic sensors and alarm units, improves the initial fire control rate. It can solve the shortcomings of traditional car covers, such as poor heat insulation and fireproof performance, delayed early warning, and cumbersome loading and unloading, significantly reducing economic losses. It is suitable for land car transport and ocean roll-on / roll-off ship scenarios, clearing safety obstacles for the large-scale development of the new energy vehicle transportation industry.

[0087] It should be understood that the above are only some embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, other modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
