Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of polyurethane elastomer, in particular to a super high damping polyurethane elastomer isolation bearing and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The widely used isolation device is a laminated rubber isolation bearing, which uses the horizontal performance of the bearing to prolong the natural period of the structure, avoid the high energy frequency band of the seismic wave, and achieve the purpose of reducing the seismic energy input of the structure and reducing the seismic response of the structure. The structure of the laminated rubber isolation bearing is composed of multiple layers of steel plates and rubber alternately stacked. The stacking of rubber and steel plates can change the small vertical stiffness of the rubber body, so that it can not only reduce the horizontal seismic action, but also withstand a large vertical load. The commonly used laminated rubber bearing is a natural rubber bearing, a lead rubber bearing and a high damping rubber bearing. The main rubber used in the rubber part of the three bearings is natural rubber. Natural rubber has good elasticity, but due to the limitations of the internal molecular structure of natural rubber, it is difficult to achieve excellent tensile strength and elongation at break while achieving high hardness, and it also provides large damping performance. In addition, natural rubber has poor weather resistance and poor aging resistance, and after long-term use, cracks and unstable mechanical properties of the isolation bearing may occur due to material aging.

[0003] The polyurethane material itself has high hardness and excellent mechanical properties. SUMMARY

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of the present application is to provide a super high damping polyurethane elastomer isolation bearing, which comprises the following components by mole:

[0005] 100 parts of blocked isocyanate, 15-25 parts of hexahydroxy polyether, 15-25 parts of polyester, 10-20 parts of chain extender, 0.1-0.5 parts of catalyst and 0.5-5 parts of initiator.

[0006] Preferably, the blocked isocyanate is diethylamine siloxane-terminated toluene diisocyanate. The blocked isocyanate is stable at a lower temperature and does not react with hydroxyl or amino groups. When the temperature rises to the unblocking temperature, the free isocyanate is released and reacts with hydroxyl or amino groups to form urethane.

[0007] More preferably, the preparation method of the diethylamine siloxane-terminated toluene diisocyanate comprises the following steps:

[0008] Vacuumize toluene diisocyanate at 40-50℃ under nitrogen protection for 1-2h, add diethylamine siloxane drop by drop, stir for 2-4h until it becomes a light yellow paste, take out the paste and place it in a vacuum drying box at 40-45℃ for 24-48h of vacuum drying to obtain diethylamine siloxane-terminated isocyanate;

[0009] The molar ratio of the toluene diisocyanate to the diethylamine siloxane is 1:2-2.1.

[0010] Preferably, the molecular weight of the hexahydroxyl polyether is 9000-12000. The functionality of the hexahydroxyl polyether is 6, which is obtained by ring-opening polymerization of double pentaerythritol-initiated propylene oxide and ethylene oxide, has six molecular chains, and each molecular chain has a molecular weight of 1500-2000. The hexahydroxyl polyether can react with isocyanate to generate a cross-linked interpenetrating network structure of polyurethane. Due to the six molecular chains, the generated cross-linked interpenetrating network structure is more compact, the mechanical properties of the polyurethane can be improved, the load-bearing capacity of the polyurethane can be increased, and the movement resistance between the molecular chains of the polyurethane elastomer can be greatly increased, so that the polyurethane elastomer has super-high damping performance.

[0011] More preferably, the preparation method of the hexahydroxyl polyether comprises the following steps:

[0012] Potassium hydroxide and metallic potassium are mixed in a molar ratio of 2:1 to obtain an activated catalyst, and then 20-30 molar ratios of double pentaerythritol and 35-45 molar ratios of alkylene oxide are added to generate an anionic polymerization reaction to obtain the hexahydroxyl polyether. The alkylene oxide is a mixture of propylene oxide and ethylene oxide in a molar ratio of 1:1.5.

[0013] Preferably, the polyester is polycaprolactone diol.

[0014] Preferably, the chain extender is 3,3'-dichloro-4,4'diphenyl methane diamine (MOCA). The MOCA can enhance the tensile strength and other mechanical properties of the polyurethane elastomer, balance the toughness technical indexes of tear strength and elongation at break, deformation and impact absorption energy, and shorten the post-curing time in the process.

[0015] Preferably, the catalyst is at least one of dibutyltin dilaurate and stannous octoate. The catalyst can accelerate the reaction and post-curing time of the polyurethane elastomer.

[0016] Preferably, the initiator is benzoyl peroxide (BPO). The initiator can polymerize the double bond in the molecular chain.

[0017] Another object of the present application is to provide a preparation method of the super-high-damping polyurethane elastomer seismic isolation bearing.

[0018] (1) Preparation of the polyurethane elastomer material

[0019] The hexahydroxyl polyether, the polyester, the blocked isocyanate, the chain extender and the catalyst are mixed and stirred at a rotating speed of 3000-5000 r / min for 20-40 min to obtain the polyurethane elastomer material.

[0020] (2) Preparation of polyurethane elastomer shock-absorbing support

[0021] The polyurethane elastomer shock-absorbing support is obtained by pouring the polyurethane elastomer material into a mold, demolding after reaction at 150-170 DEG C for 60-90 min, and then curing at 70-90 DEG C for 24-48 h.

[0022] In the present application, the soft segment part of the polyurethane is mixed with hexahydroxy polyether polyol and polyester polyol. The polyether polyol is good in water resistance and molecular chain flexibility, but low in tensile strength. The polyester polyol is good in heat resistance and high in tensile strength, but not resistant to water. The combination of the two can solve the problem of water resistance of the polyester polyol and the problem of poor mechanical properties of the polyether polyol. In addition, the hexahydroxy polyether polyol gives the material a multi-arm structure. The existence of the multi-arm structure enables the formation of an interpenetrating network structure in the polyurethane structure, increases the intermolecular entanglement, and the hydrogen bonding between the polyester polyol molecules can increase the intermolecular force. The combination of the two increases the viscoelasticity of the material, and gives the support excellent damping performance under the premise of excellent mechanical properties.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] (1) The soft segment of the polyurethane in the present application is mixed with hexahydroxy polyether polyol and polyester polyol. The multi-arm structure enables the formation of a more compact and complex interpenetrating network structure in the polyurethane structure, greatly increases the intermolecular entanglement, and the hydrogen bonding between the polyester polyol molecules can increase the intermolecular force. The combination of the two increases the viscoelasticity of the material and gives the material excellent damping performance.

[0025] (2) The hard segment of the polyurethane in the present application uses a blocked isocyanate, which is low in sensitivity to humidity. The isocyanate and hydroxyl groups do not react at room temperature. The blocking of the isocyanate needs to be removed at high temperature for the reaction to proceed. The use of this material makes the reaction controllable, the polymer viscosity and molecular chain can grow smoothly, prevents the formation of gels during the reaction process, and improves the uniformity of the product.
