Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of conveyor belt technology, and mainly to the vulcanization bonding adhesive for flame-retardant conveyor belts made of aramid and steel cord core, and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Flame-retardant steel cord conveyor belts are a key component for material transport in underground mines. They enable high-capacity, long-distance, and high-speed material transport, and the conveyor line can be arranged in straight or curved lines, bypassing obstacles for flexible layout, greatly simplifying line design and improving conveying efficiency. Featuring high strength, impact resistance, low elongation, and long service life, flame-retardant steel cord conveyor belts are widely used in underground mines for transporting coal, ore, and slag, playing a vital role in coal and mineral mining and tunnel excavation for a long time.

[0003] Aramid rope core flame-retardant conveyor belts use aramid ropes as the tensile strength. Aramid fiber, also known as polyphenylene phthalate (PPD), is a new type of high-tech synthetic fiber with excellent properties such as ultra-high strength, high modulus, high temperature resistance, flame retardancy, acid and alkali resistance, and light weight. Its strength is 5-6 times that of steel wire, its modulus is 2-3 times that of steel wire or glass fiber, and its toughness is twice that of steel wire, while its weight is only about 1 / 5 that of steel wire. It does not decompose or melt at 560 degrees Celsius. Aramid rope core flame-retardant conveyor belts feature high strength, light weight, puncture resistance, and excellent flame retardant properties. They also have low energy consumption, are energy-saving and environmentally friendly during operation, and have a longer service life.

[0004] The replacement of steel cord flame-retardant conveyor belts with aramid cord flame-retardant conveyor belts has become a development trend in the flame-retardant conveyor belt industry. Current conveyor line maintenance typically involves replacing only a portion of the conveyor belts, rather than replacing the entire line. This necessitates bonding steel cord flame-retardant conveyor belts with aramid cord flame-retardant conveyor belts. However, due to the different materials of aramid cords and steel cords, the adhesive systems for vulcanization joints also differ. Using either steel cord flame-retardant conveyor belt vulcanization joint adhesive or aramid cord flame-retardant conveyor belt vulcanization joint adhesive results in lower bonding strength, leading to poor adhesion between the aramid cord flame-retardant conveyor belt and the steel cord flame-retardant conveyor belt vulcanization joint, affecting the safety and operational cycle of the conveyor belt.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, this invention is hereby proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] One object of the present invention is to provide a vulcanizing adhesive for bonding aramid fibers and steel cord cores in flame-retardant conveyor belts.

[0007] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0017] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a flame-retardant adhesive.

[0018] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0019] A method for preparing a flame-retardant adhesive includes a first-stage mixing and a second-stage mixing. The first-stage mixing includes the following steps: 30-50 parts of natural rubber, 15-35 parts of chloroprene rubber, and 25-45 parts of butadiene rubber are added to an internal mixer and mixed for 50-80 seconds; then 5-9 parts of activator, 3-7 parts of tackifying resin, 2-4 parts of antioxidant, 4-8 parts of adhesive, and 50-80 parts of flame retardant are added to the internal mixer, and mixing continues for 40-70 seconds; then 15-30 parts of aramid pulp, 10-20 parts of silica, 1-3 parts of coupling agent, and 30-50 parts of high abrasion-resistant carbon black are added, and mixing continues for 120-240 seconds.

Then, the mixture is sheeted, cooled, and the first-stage mixed adhesive is obtained.

[0020] The two-stage mixing process includes the following steps: the cooled first-stage compound rubber is fed into an internal mixer along with 2-4 parts of vulcanizing agent and 1-3 parts of accelerator, and mixed for 120-180 seconds. When the rubber temperature in the internal mixer reaches 80-100°C, the bottom jack is opened, and the compound rubber is discharged onto a sheeting machine. It is then mixed again for 180-240 seconds, and then sheeted and cooled to obtain flame-retardant adhesive.

[0070] The compound rubber obtained in Examples 1 to 4 was left to stand for 24 hours. The open-mix rubber was used to make rubber sheets of the required thickness. The rubber sheets were cut to the required size according to the size of the vulcanizing mold. The cut rubber sheets were placed in the mold and placed in a flat vulcanizing machine. The vulcanizing was carried out for 30 minutes under the vulcanizing conditions of 18 MPa pressure and 150°C to obtain vulcanized test pieces.

[0071] Table 1 Physical properties of vulcanizates in Examples 1-4

[0072]

[0073] As can be seen from the data in Table 1, the vulcanized rubbers of Examples 1 to 4 have excellent physical properties, and both flaming and flameless combustion meet the standard requirements for flame-retardant conveyor belts in underground coal mines.

[0074] The compound rubber obtained in Examples 1 to 4 was left to stand for 24 hours. The open-mix rubber was used to make a sheet of the required thickness. The sheet was cut into the same size as the vulcanizing mold. The cut sheet, steel wire rope or aramid rope was placed in a static bonding mold and placed in a flat vulcanizing machine. The vulcanizing was carried out for 45 minutes under vulcanizing conditions of 20 MPa pressure and 145°C to obtain a vulcanized sample.

[0075] Table 2 shows the bonding strength between the adhesives in Examples 1-4 and the steel wire rope and aramid rope.

[0076]

[0077] As can be seen from Table 2, the static bonding strength of the adhesives in Examples 1-4 with 6.0mm diameter steel wire rope and 6.0mm diameter aramid rope is much higher than the standard requirements for flame-retardant steel wire rope core conveyor belts.

[0078] The compound rubber obtained in Examples 1 to 4 was left to stand for 24 hours. The open-mix rubber was used to make a sheet of the required thickness. The sheet was cut into the same size as the vulcanizing mold. The cut sheet, steel wire rope or aramid rope was placed in a special mold for dynamic adhesive fatigue and placed in a flat vulcanizing machine. The vulcanizing was carried out for 40 minutes under the vulcanizing conditions of 20 MPa pressure and 145°C to obtain a vulcanized sample.

[0079] Table 3 shows the dynamic adhesion fatigue of adhesives to steel wire ropes and aramid ropes in Examples 1-4.

[0080]

[0081] Table 3 shows that the dynamic adhesion fatigue of the adhesives in Examples 1-4 with 6.0mm diameter steel wire rope and 6.0mm diameter aramid rope is far higher than the standard requirements for flame-retardant steel wire rope core conveyor belts.

[0082] The rubber compounds obtained in Examples 1-4 were left to stand for 24 hours. Then, a cold-feed extruder was used to calender the rubber sheets. The extruder head temperature was set to 60°C, the body temperature to 50°C, the screw temperature to 65°C, and the calendering roller temperature to 60°C. Adhesive sheets were calendered. Three-meter steel wire rope core flame-retardant conveyor belts and aramid rope core flame-retardant conveyor belts were taken respectively. The cover rubber and core rubber on the surface of both conveyor belts were removed, leaving the steel wire rope and aramid rope. Following the two-stage joint scheme in Appendix E of MT / T 668-2019, Flame-retardant Belt Joint Dimensions and Technical Requirements, the steel wire rope and aramid rope were cut and arranged as required. Adhesive sheets and cover rubber sheets were then laid on top. The joint was vulcanized using a joint vulcanizer at a vulcanization pressure of 2 MPa and a vulcanization temperature of 150°C for 35 minutes. The mixture was then allowed to cool naturally until the temperature dropped below 70°C. The vulcanizer was then opened to complete the preparation of the vulcanized joint sample.

[0083] The static tensile strength of the vulcanized joint specimens was tested in accordance with the requirements of MT / T 668-2019.

[0084] Table 4 shows the static joint breakage efficiency of the adhesives in Examples 1-4.

[0085] Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Example 4 standard ≥90% ≥90% ≥90% ≥90% Connector efficiency 93% 94% 91% 96%

[0086] Table 4 shows that the static joint breaking efficiency of the adhesive vulcanized bonded steel wire rope core flame-retardant conveyor belts and aramid rope core flame-retardant conveyor belts in Examples 1-4 is higher than the standard requirements for flame-retardant steel wire rope core conveyor belts.

[0087] In summary, the flame retardant index of the adhesive described in this invention meets the flame retardant standard requirements for underground coal mines. Furthermore, the adhesive solves the technical challenge of combining aramid core flame-retardant conveyor belts and steel wire rope core flame-retardant conveyor belts, improving the bonding strength and dynamic adhesion fatigue resistance of the two conveyor belts, and extending the service life of the connection points.

[0088] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.

The first-stage mixing includes the following steps: 30-50 parts of natural rubber, 15-35 parts of chloroprene rubber, and 25-45 parts of butadiene rubber are added to an internal mixer and mixed for 50-80 seconds; then 5-9 parts of activator, 3-7 parts of tackifying resin, 2-4 parts of antioxidant, 4-8 parts of binder, and 50-80 parts of flame retardant are added to the internal mixer and mixed for another 40-70 seconds; then 15-30 parts of aramid pulp, 10-20 parts of silica, 1-3 parts of coupling agent, and 30-50 parts of high abrasion-resistant carbon black are added and mixed for another 120-240 seconds. The top plug is raised and lowered, and when the mixture in the internal mixer reaches 120-140°C, the bottom plug is opened, and the mixed rubber is discharged to a tablet press for further mixing for 180-240 seconds. Then, the tablets are extruded, cooled, and the first-stage mixed rubber is obtained. The two-stage mixing process includes the following steps: the cooled first-stage compound rubber is fed into an internal mixer along with 2-4 parts of vulcanizing agent and 1-3 parts of accelerator, and mixed for 120-180 seconds. When the rubber temperature in the internal mixer reaches 80-100°C, the bottom jack is opened, and the compound rubber is discharged onto a sheeting machine. It is then mixed again for 180-240 seconds, and then sheeted and cooled to obtain flame-retardant adhesive.
