Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of rubber materials, and more specifically to a rubber compound for elastic support of wind turbines and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] As a core component of clean energy, wind turbines' transmission systems are subjected to complex alternating loads and extreme environmental impacts over extended periods. Elastic support components, as key buffer elements in the transmission chain, have a decisive influence on overall vibration suppression, load transmission, and service life. Current mainstream technologies utilize rubber-based compounded rubber to prepare elastomer support components, leveraging the viscoelastic energy dissipation mechanism of polymer materials to reduce the risk of fatigue damage to the gearbox and main bearings.

[0003] In the existing technological system, synthetic rubber is widely used due to its highly tunable molecular structure and excellent weather resistance. This type of material is typically formulated with carbon black reinforcing systems, vulcanizing agents, and antioxidants to form a compound. After high-temperature compression molding, it forms an elastomer with specific stiffness and damping characteristics. Especially under the harsh conditions of high salt spray and high ultraviolet radiation in nearshore environments, synthetic rubber-based compounds exhibit excellent ozone aging resistance and chemical stability.

[0004] However, with increasingly stringent global environmental regulations and the growing demand for specialized applications, the limitations of synthetic rubber are becoming increasingly apparent. Firstly, its raw materials are highly dependent on the petrochemical industry chain, resulting in a high carbon footprint and significant consumption of non-renewable resources. Secondly, in extreme low-temperature environments, such as below -40°C, the glass transition temperature of some synthetic rubbers is easily triggered, exacerbating the risk of material embrittlement and failure. This problem is particularly critical in wind power applications where low-temperature cold start conditions are frequent. More importantly, certain wind farms are subject to hydrocarbon solvent vapor erosion; the insufficient solvent resistance of traditional synthetic rubber will cause swelling and deformation, directly affecting the dynamic stiffness accuracy of the support components. While natural rubber (NR) possesses excellent low-temperature elasticity and high mechanical strength and is a renewable resource, the unsaturated double bonds in its molecular chain are highly susceptible to ozone attack and degradation, making it difficult for conventional antioxidants to provide effective protection under long-term dynamic strain. Existing technologies attempt to improve weather resistance through blending or adding shielding agents such as nano-clay, but these solutions still cannot escape the framework of petroleum-based synthetic rubber, and significant interfacial compatibility issues can easily lead to a decrease in material fatigue life. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In summary, existing rubber compound technology for wind turbine elastic supports faces a triple contradiction: an imbalance between environmental friendliness and material performance, a conflict between ensuring toughness at extreme low temperatures and long-term aging resistance, and the need for specific chemical resistance. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a novel rubber compound system based on sustainable raw materials, free of synthetic rubber, and possessing wide-temperature-range high elasticity, long-term aging resistance, and resistance to specific media, in order to overcome the current technological bottlenecks in the high-quality development of the wind power industry. Through continuous research in this technical field, the applicant has finally proposed a rubber compound specifically for wind turbine elastic supports and its preparation method in this application. The rubber compound ultimately obtained by this application not only possesses excellent comprehensive properties such as temperature resistance, aging resistance, and corrosion resistance, but also completely eliminates the addition of synthetic rubber, thereby significantly improving environmental friendliness while avoiding greater interfacial compatibility issues, breaking away from the framework of petroleum-based synthetic rubber, and improving the fatigue life and service quality of the compound material.

[0006] A rubber compound for elastic support of wind turbine generator, comprising, by weight, at least the following raw materials: 90-110 parts of natural rubber, 3-6 parts of activator, 2-4 parts of antioxidant, 2-3.5 parts of internal release agent, 1-2 parts of lubricant, 30-45 parts of filler, 2-3 parts of vulcanizing agent, and 2-3 parts of accelerator.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the natural rubber composition is a combination of natural rubber SMR 3L, natural rubber STR 5L, and natural rubber SIR 20.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the mass ratio of the natural rubber SMR 3L, natural rubber STR 5L, and natural rubber SIR 20 is (5-7):(2-4):(1-2); the optional mass ratio schemes include, but are not limited to, 6:3:1, 7:2:1, 5:3:2, 6:2:2, and 5:4:1.

[0009] In a more preferred embodiment, the mass ratio of the natural rubber SMR 3L, natural rubber STR 5L, and natural rubber SIR 20 is (6-7):(2.5-3.5):(1-1.5).

[0010] In the most preferred embodiment, the mass ratio of natural rubber SMR 3L, natural rubber STR 5L and natural rubber SIR 20 is 6:3:1.5.

[0011] The combination of natural rubbers used in this application effectively improves the overall performance of the rubber compound. The natural rubber combination, through the synergistic interaction of molecular chain structures, constructs an adaptive network system. SMR 3L, as a low-ash matrix, forms a continuous homogeneous phase due to its constant viscosity, effectively blocking the penetration channels of water molecules along ash particles and significantly improving hydrolysis resistance. STR 5L's ultra-long molecular chains generate a high-strength entangled network during vulcanization. When subjected to alternating impact loads, the molecular chains dissipate energy through reversible conformational changes, and the hysteresis effect of stretching and shrinking converts vibrations into heat energy. Simultaneously, crosslinking points inhibit permanent deformation, maintaining the fatigue resistance of the compound system. SIR 20, with its extremely low glass transition temperature and low side methyl structure, maintains the freedom of chain segment movement even in extremely cold environments, avoiding brittle failure during cold starts. The three components work together through an interfacial interpenetration mechanism. The flexible segments of SIR 20 fill the gaps in the STR 5L network, while SMR 3L coats the interface to form a stress buffer layer, thereby enhancing the overall performance of the compound.

[0036] In a more preferred embodiment, the promoter is CBS or TBBS.

[0037] In the most preferred embodiment, the promoter is CBS.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the rubber compound for the elastic support of the wind turbine generator, by weight, further includes: 6-14 parts of composite functional agent, 2-4 parts of flow agent, 1-2 parts of coupling agent, and 3-6 parts of plasticizer.

[0046] Further improvements are made to the various properties of the compound rubber through composite functional agents. The long alkyl chains of cashew phenol resin form a dense molecular fence, and the phenolic hydroxyl groups chelate metal ions, reducing the swelling rate of hydrocarbon solvents. The epoxy groups of epoxidized natural rubber ring-bond with the silanol groups of silica, strengthening the filler-rubber interface. The hydrogen bonds of its polar groups lock in water, ensuring the stability of high wet modulus. On the other hand, hydrogenated polybutadiene eliminates ozone attack sites with saturated carbon chains, and its low pour point characteristics inhibit low-temperature crystallization of rubber.

[0058] 2. The natural rubber compound used in this application achieves its combined effect through the interfacial interpenetration mechanism by the combined action of three compound rubbers. The flexible segments of SIR 20 fill the gaps in the STR 5L network, and SMR 3L covers the interface to form a stress buffer layer, thereby enhancing the overall performance of the compound.
