Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of new materials, specifically relating to a polyurethane elastomer suitable for cotton removal wheels and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance understanding of the overall background of the invention and is not necessarily to be construed as an admission or in any way implying that such information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.
[0003] During the cotton harvesting process, the cotton harvester needs to use the cotton removal wheel assembly to remove the cotton wrapped around the picking spindle assembly. However, during operation, the cotton removal wheel will be subjected to different degrees of wear when removing the cotton from the picking spindle because the amount of cotton wrapped around the picking spindles varies.
[0004] Current research on cotton removal wheels typically focuses on their component structure design. Only patent CN119409932A discloses a polyurethane for cotton removal discs and its preparation method. This method uses MDI and PTMG or PCL as the main raw materials to prepare polyurethane, adding antioxidants, wear-resistant agents, and amine chain extenders, such as polyaspartic acid ester. By controlling the reaction rate and crosslinking density, the material's cohesion and weather resistance are improved. It primarily improves polyurethane wear through wear-resistant agents, but these agents can migrate and release powder during use. Wear becomes unstable after the surface lubricating film wears away or the wear-resistant agent migrates and is lost. Furthermore, the use of an MDI system results in significant heat generation under high-speed friction conditions, leading to generalized heat resistance and delamination deformation during high-speed use, further reducing wear resistance. Moreover, the use of a mixture of alcohol and secondary amine chain extenders presents challenges in controlling the reaction, resulting in poor synergy. In particular, the steric hindrance of secondary amine chain extenders affects the material's molding, hardness, and dynamic properties. In addition, many other product issues arise during cotton picking machine operation, such as the fire hazard caused by heat or static electricity generated by the cotton removal wheel during the cotton picking process, the difficulty of cleaning the cotton removal wheel, and the performance in terms of wear and tear resistance when impurities such as cotton stalks and cotton husks are present.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a polyurethane elastomer that can meet the requirements of high-intensity, high-frequency friction environment such as cotton picking. It should not only have excellent wear resistance, but also low heat generation during high-speed use, as well as antistatic and easy-to-clean properties, and be especially suitable for manufacturing cotton removal wheels.
[0006] However, due to the wide variety of isocyanates, chain extenders, and polyols, the polyurethane systems formed have different properties, and the compounding effects of different types of polyurethanes with additives also vary greatly. Therefore, the industry has not yet developed a polyurethane elastomer that combines high wear resistance, tear resistance, high strength, low internal heat generation, and antistatic properties to meet the requirements of cotton removal wheels. Summary of the Invention
[0007] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a polyurethane elastomer material applicable to cotton removal wheels and its preparation method. This invention uses aromatic diisocyanate / alicyclic diisocyanate and diols with a molecular weight of 50 to 500 g / mol to form hard segments, and long-chain diols as soft segments. Further, fluorosilicone additives, antistatic agents, and other auxiliaries are introduced, effectively achieving a balance of wear resistance, tear resistance, strength, low internal heat generation, and antistatic properties. This results in a polyurethane elastomer possessing high wear resistance, tear resistance, high strength, low internal heat generation, and antistatic properties. The cotton removal wheel manufactured from this elastomer can meet the requirements for long-term use in high-intensity, high-frequency friction environments.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: In a first aspect, the present invention provides a polyurethane elastomer material applicable to cotton removal wheels, comprising the following raw materials in parts by weight: 100 parts of long-chain diol, 14-36 parts of diisocyanate, 3-24 parts of alcohol chain extender, 3-9 parts of fluorosilicone additive, 1-2 parts of antistatic agent, 1-2 parts of antioxidant, and 0.5-1 parts of antihydrolysis agent. The diisocyanate is selected from at least one of 1,4-phenylene diisocyanate, 1,5-naphthalene diisocyanate, isophthalimide diisocyanate, and 1,4-cyclohexane diisocyanate.
[0009] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned polyurethane elastomer material applicable to cotton removal wheels, comprising: Prepared using any of the following methods: Method I involves reacting at least one long-chain diol with a diisocyanate to obtain a prepolymer with isocyanate-terminated ends. The prepolymer is then mixed uniformly with fluorosilicone additives, antistatic agents, antioxidants, and antihydrolysis agents as component 1, and at least one alcohol chain extender as component 2. The two components are mixed and cast to directly prepare molded products. Method II involves reacting at least one long-chain diol with a diisocyanate to obtain a prepolymer with isocyanate-terminated ends. The prepolymer is then mixed uniformly with fluorosilicone additives, antistatic agents, antioxidants, and anti-hydrolysis agents as component 1, and at least one alcohol chain extender as component 2. The two components are mixed and poured into a synthetic board, and after high-temperature curing, cooled and crushed to obtain a polyurethane elastomer crushed material that can be injection molded into products. Method III involves uniformly mixing at least one long-chain diol with fluorosilicone additives, antistatic agents, antioxidants, and anti-hydrolysis agents, and placing the mixture in the first feed tank of a twin-screw extruder gating system. Diisocyanate is melted and placed in the second feed tank of the twin-screw extruder gating system. The components are metered, transported, and mixed before being injected into the extruder. After partial reaction, an alcohol chain extender is added to the downstream fifth region. The reactants are then reacted and extruded in the twin-screw extruder. After synthesis, the resulting polymer melt is granulated underwater, and the resulting granules are dried. The resulting product can then be injection molded.
[0010] A third aspect of the present invention provides the application of the above-mentioned polyurethane elastomer material in the preparation of cotton removal wheels, wherein the cotton removal wheel products are processed by casting or injection molding.
[0011] Beneficial effects of the present invention (1) This invention prepares a polyurethane elastomer with high wear resistance, tear resistance, high strength, low internal heat generation, and antistatic properties through formulation design. The above properties can be achieved without a complex chain extension system. The use of fluorosilicone additives can not only reduce friction and wear resistance, but also improve the heat resistance, solvent resistance, easy cleaning, and non-migration and precipitation of the material. It has better performance than adding E wax and other wear-resistant agents. The use of antistatic agents can reduce surface resistance and avoid the accumulation of static charge during high-speed friction. It can not only meet the conventional performance requirements of cotton stripping wheels for outdoor cotton picking operations, but also improve the safety of use. It is more suitable for high-speed and high-frequency use scenarios, significantly reduces the number of times the cotton stripping disc is replaced, saves manpower and material resources, and improves cotton picking efficiency.
[0012] (2) The polyurethane elastomer material prepared based on the present invention can be used to prepare cotton removal wheels by casting or injection molding to meet the needs of different processing technologies.
[0013] (3) The preparation method of the present invention is simple, practical and easy to promote. Attached Figure Description

[0045] Comparative Example 1, MDI+BDO system This comparative example modifies the PPDI system of Example 4 to an MDI system and omits some additives. Furthermore, to ensure the product has a similar hardness range to Example 4, the NCO content and the amount of chain extender were adjusted accordingly, specifically including: 100 kg of polycaprolactone polyol with a molecular weight of 2000 g / mol was added to a reactor. The mixture was heated to 110°C and vacuumed to below 100 Pa for 4 hours to remove moisture. A sample was taken and the moisture content was found to be 160 ppm.

The obtained test pieces and samples were annealed in an oven at 120℃ for 24 hours and then cooled to room temperature for 1 week before performance evaluation.
[0046] As can be seen from the comparison between Comparative Example 1 and Example 4, compared with the MDI+BDO system, the addition of PPDI+BDO system and fluorosilicone additives and antistatic agents significantly enhances the tensile strength, tear strength and wear resistance of the material, and has a higher Vicat softening point and an extremely low loss tangent.
[0047] Comparative Example 2, MDI+HQEE System This comparative example, based on Comparative Example 1 (MDI+BDO system), uses HQEE instead of BDO to improve heat resistance. Simultaneously, to ensure the product has a similar hardness range to Example 4, the NCO content and the amount of chain extender were adjusted accordingly, specifically including: 100 kg of polycaprolactone polyol with a molecular weight of 2000 g / mol was added to a reactor. The mixture was heated to 110°C and vacuumed to below 100 Pa for 4 hours to remove moisture. A sample was taken and the moisture content was found to be 160 ppm. The mixture was then cooled to 70°C, and 56.30 kg of diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) was added. The mixture was stirred at high speed to disperse the molecules, and the reactor temperature was maintained at 80°C for 3 hours.

After high-speed mixing, the mixture was poured into a synthesis board and left to stand at 160°C for 25 min to fully solidify. The solidified material was then transferred to an industrial oven at 120°C for 24 h of vulcanization. The material was then removed, cooled, and crushed to obtain polyurethane elastomer crushed material. The crushed material was then used to process test pieces and de-cotton wheel samples using an injection molding machine. The injection temperature was controlled within the range of 210-240°C, and the injection pressure was controlled at 50 kgf / cm². 2 -70kgf / cm 2 Scope. The obtained test pieces and samples were annealed in an oven at 120℃ for 24 hours and then cooled to room temperature for 1 week before performance evaluation.
[0048] The comparison between Comparative Example 2 and Example 4 shows that, compared with the MDI+HQEE system, the addition of PPDI+BDO system and fluorosilicone additives and antistatic agents significantly enhances the tensile strength, tear strength and wear resistance of the material, significantly increases the Vicat softening point, and significantly reduces the loss tangent.
[0049] Comparative Example 3: The MDI+HQEE system with added fluorosilicone additives and antistatic agents was compared to examine the differences in tanδ. This comparative example is based on Comparative Example 2 (MDI+HQEE system), with the addition of fluorosilicone additives, antistatic agents, etc., specifically including: 100 kg of polycaprolactone polyol with a molecular weight of 2000 g / mol was added to a reactor. The mixture was heated to 110°C and vacuumed to below 100 Pa for 4 hours to dehydrate it. The moisture content was measured to be 160 ppm. The mixture was then cooled to 70°C, and 56.30 kg of diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) was added. The mixture was stirred at high speed to disperse the precipitate and the reactor temperature was maintained at 80°C for 3 hours. Vacuum degassing was performed for 30 minutes, and the mixture was cooled to 70°C. The NCO content was measured to be 9.35%. 6.0 kg of organosilicon microspheres, 2.0 kg of polytetrafluoroethylene microspheres, 2.0 kg of antistatic agent LQ01, 2.0 kg of antioxidant 1010, and anti-hydrolysis agent 1010 were then added to the reactor. 0.8 kg of hydroquinone dihydroxyethyl ether was dispersed evenly by high-speed stirring for 10 min to obtain component 1. This component was then transferred to a vacuum reactor for vacuum degassing for 60 s. Hydroquinone dihydroxyethyl ether, as component 2, was placed in another vacuum reactor for high-temperature melting and vacuum degassing for 30 s. The two components were then fed to a mixing head at a metered ratio of 100 g: 19.42 g. After high-speed mixing, the mixture was poured into a synthesis board and left to stand at 160°C for 25 min to fully solidify. The solidified material was then transferred to an industrial oven at 120°C for vulcanization for 24 h. The material was then removed, cooled, and crushed to obtain crushed polyurethane elastomer. The crushed material was then used in an injection molding machine to process test pieces and de-cotton wheel samples. The injection temperature was controlled within the range of 210-240°C, and the injection pressure was controlled at 50 kgf / cm². 2 -70kgf / cm 2 Scope. The obtained test pieces and samples were annealed in an oven at 120℃ for 24 hours and then cooled to room temperature for 1 week before performance evaluation.
[0050] As can be seen from the comparison of Comparative Example 3 and Example 4, compared with the MDI+HQEE system, the PPDI+BDO system can better match with fluorosilicone additives and antistatic agents, and the tensile strength, tear strength and wear resistance of the material are significantly enhanced, the Vicat softening point is significantly increased, and the loss tangent is significantly reduced.
[0051] Comparative Example 4 uses the wear-resistant additive Licowax E powder described in patent CN119409932A to replace the fluorosilicone additive and does not add an antistatic agent. This comparative example, based on Example 4, replaces the wear-resistant additive by using Licowax Epowder instead of the fluorosilicone additive and omits the antistatic agent. Furthermore, to ensure the product has a similar hardness range to Example 4, the amount of the chain extender component was adjusted accordingly, specifically including: 100 kg of polycaprolactone polyol with a molecular weight of 2000 g / mol was added to a reaction vessel. The mixture was heated to 110°C and vacuumed to below 100 Pa for 4 hours to dehydrate it. The moisture content was measured to be 150 ppm. The mixture was then cooled to 70°C, and 16.81 kg of terephthalic diisocyanate (PPDI) was added. The mixture was stirred at high speed to disperse the PPDI completely in the polyol within 30 minutes. The reaction vessel temperature was maintained at 80°C for 3 hours, followed by vacuum degassing for 30 minutes. The mixture was then cooled to 70°C, and the NCO content was measured to be 3.95%. 2.0 kg of Licowax E powder (a wear-resistant additive described in patent CN119409932A), 2.0 kg of antioxidant 1010, and 1010 anti-hydrolysis agent were added to the reaction vessel. 0.8 kg of hydroquinone dihydroxyethyl ether was dispersed evenly by high-speed stirring for 10 min to obtain component 1. This component was then transferred to a vacuum reactor for vacuum degassing for 60 s. Hydroquinone dihydroxyethyl ether, as component 2, was placed in another vacuum reactor for high-temperature melting and vacuum degassing for 30 s. The two components were then fed to a mixing head at a metered ratio of 100 g: 9.39 g. After high-speed mixing, the mixture was poured into a synthesis board and left to stand at 160°C for 25 min to fully solidify. The solidified material was then transferred to an industrial oven at 120°C for vulcanization for 24 h. The material was then removed, cooled, and crushed to obtain crushed polyurethane elastomer. The crushed material was then used in an injection molding machine to process test pieces and de-cotton wheel samples. The injection temperature was controlled within the range of 210-240°C, and the injection pressure was controlled at 50 kgf / cm². 2 -70kgf / cm 2 Scope. The obtained test pieces and samples were annealed in an oven at 120℃ for 24 hours and then cooled to room temperature for 1 week before performance evaluation.
[0052] As can be seen from the comparison between Comparative Example 4 and Example 4, the introduction of fluorosilicone additives and antistatic agents can better improve the wear resistance of materials compared with the wear-resistant additive Licowax E powder.
[0053] Comparative Example 5: The PPDI system adopted the chain extension scheme of 1,4-butanediol and polyaspartic acid ester NH1520 from patent CN119409932A. The difference from Example 4 is that 1,4-butanediol and polyaspartic acid ester NH1520 were used instead of hydroquinone dihydroxyethyl ether for chain extension. Furthermore, to achieve a similar hardness range as in Example 4, the amounts of chain-extending components and the process were adjusted accordingly, specifically including: 100 kg of polycaprolactone polyol with a molecular weight of 2000 g / mol was added to a reactor. The mixture was heated to 110°C and vacuumed to below 100 Pa for 4 hours to dehydrate it. The moisture content was measured to be 150 ppm. The mixture was then cooled to 70°C, and 16.81 kg of terephthalic diisocyanate (PPDI) was added. The mixture was stirred at high speed to disperse the PPDI completely in the polyol within 30 minutes. The reactor temperature was maintained at 80°C for 3 hours, followed by vacuum degassing for 30 minutes. The temperature was then lowered to 70°C, and the NCO content was measured to be 3.95%. 6.0 kg of organosilicon microspheres, 2.0 kg of polytetrafluoroethylene microspheres, 2.0 kg of antistatic agent LQ01, 2.0 kg of antioxidant 1010, and anti-hydrolysis agent 1010 were then added to the reactor. 0.8 kg was stirred at high speed for 10 min to disperse evenly, resulting in component 1. This component was then transferred to a vacuum reactor for vacuum degassing for 60 s. A mixture of 1,4-butanediol and polyaspartic acid ester NH1520 (mass ratio 85:15) was placed in another vacuum reactor for high-temperature melting and vacuum degassing for 30 s. The two components were then transferred to a mixing head at a metered ratio of 100 g: 4.16 g. After high-speed mixing, the mixture was poured into a synthesis board. After 25 min at 160°C, the material was not fully cured. After 45 min, the surface was no longer sticky. The material was then transferred to an industrial oven at 110°C for vulcanization for 24 h. The material was then removed, cooled, and crushed to obtain crushed polyurethane elastomer. The crushed material was then used to process test pieces and de-coating wheel samples using an injection molding machine. The injection temperature was controlled within the range of 210-240°C, and the injection pressure was controlled at 50 kgf / cm². 2 -70kgf / cm 2 Scope. The obtained test pieces and samples were annealed in an oven at 110℃ for 24 hours and then cooled to room temperature for 1 week before performance evaluation.
[0054] As can be seen from the comparison between Comparative Example 5 and Example 4, compared with chain extenders of 1,4-butanediol and polyaspartic acid ester NH1520, using diols with a molecular weight of 50 to 500 g / mol as chain extenders can better match the PPDI system. The hardness, tensile strength, tear strength and wear resistance of the material are significantly enhanced, the Vicat softening point is significantly increased and the loss tangent is significantly reduced.
[0055] Comparative Example 6: The MDI system adopted the chain extension scheme of 1,4-butanediol and polyaspartic acid ester NH1520 from patent CN119409932A. Based on Comparative Example 5, the MDI system was chain-extended using 1,4-butanediol and polyaspartic acid ester NH1520. Meanwhile, to ensure the product had a similar hardness range to Example 4, adjustments were made to the NCO content, the amount of chain-extending components, and the process, specifically including: 100 kg of polycaprolactone polyol with a molecular weight of 2000 g / mol was added to a reactor. The mixture was heated to 110°C and vacuumed to below 100 Pa for 4 hours to dehydrate it. The moisture content was measured to be 160 ppm. The mixture was then cooled to 70°C, and 56.30 kg of diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) was added. The mixture was stirred at high speed to disperse the precipitate and the reactor temperature was maintained at 80°C for 3 hours. Vacuum degassing was performed for 30 minutes, and the mixture was cooled to 70°C. The NCO content was measured to be 9.35%. 6.0 kg of organosilicon microspheres, 2.0 kg of polytetrafluoroethylene microspheres, 2.0 kg of antistatic agent LQ01, 2.0 kg of antioxidant 1010, and anti-hydrolysis agent 1010 were then added to the reactor. 0.8 kg was stirred at high speed for 10 min to disperse evenly, resulting in component 1. This component was then transferred to a vacuum reactor for vacuum degassing for 60 s. A mixture of 1,4-butanediol and polyaspartic acid ester NH1520 (mass ratio 85:15) was placed in another vacuum reactor for high-temperature melting and vacuum degassing for 30 s. The two components were then transferred to a mixing head at a metered ratio of 100 g: 10.11 g. After high-speed mixing, the mixture was poured into a synthesis board. After being placed in the synthesis board at 160°C for 25 min, the material remained sticky. The temperature of the synthesis board was then reduced to 140°C and the time was extended to 60 min. After the surface of the material solidified, it was transferred to an industrial oven at 110°C for vulcanization for 24 h. The material was then removed, cooled, and crushed to obtain polyurethane elastomer crushed material. The crushed material was then used to process test pieces and de-cotton wheel samples using an injection molding machine. The injection temperature was controlled within the range of 210-240°C, and the injection pressure was controlled at 50 kgf / cm². 2 -70kgf / cm 2 Scope. The obtained test pieces and samples were annealed in an oven at 110℃ for 24 hours and then cooled to room temperature for 1 week before performance evaluation.
[0056] As can be seen from the comparison between Comparative Example 6 and Example 4, compared with the system of patent CN119409932A, the PPDI system of the present invention can significantly enhance the hardness, tensile strength, tear strength and wear resistance of the material, significantly increase the Vicat softening point and significantly reduce the loss tangent.
[0057] Comparative Example 7: The PPDI system additives were added normally, but the designed component ratios were not within the scope of the claims. The final product had low hardness (close to patent CN119409932A), and slightly inferior strength and wear resistance. 100 kg of polycaprolactone polyol with a molecular weight of 2000 g / mol was added to a reactor. The mixture was heated to 110°C and vacuumed to below 100 Pa for 4 hours to dehydrate it. The moisture content was measured to be 150 ppm. The mixture was then cooled to 70°C, and 13.61 kg of terephthalic diisocyanate (PPDI) was added. The mixture was stirred at high speed to disperse the PPDI completely in the polyol within 30 minutes. The reactor temperature was maintained at 80°C for 3 hours, followed by vacuum degassing for 30 minutes. The mixture was then cooled to 70°C, and the NCO content was measured to be 2.55%. 1.0 kg of organosilicon microspheres, 1.0 kg of polytetrafluoroethylene microspheres, 1.0 kg of antistatic agent LQ01, 2.0 kg of antioxidant 1010, and 1010 anti-hydrolysis agent were then added to the reactor. 0.8 kg of hydroquinone dihydroxyethyl ether was dispersed evenly by high-speed stirring for 10 min to obtain component 1. This component was then transferred to a vacuum reactor for vacuum degassing for 60 s. Hydroquinone dihydroxyethyl ether, as component 2, was placed in another vacuum reactor for high-temperature melting and vacuum degassing for 30 s. The two components were then fed to a mixing head at a metered ratio of 100 g: 5.45 g. After high-speed mixing, the mixture was poured into a synthesis board and left to stand at 160°C for 25 min to fully solidify. The solidified material was then transferred to an industrial oven at 120°C for vulcanization for 24 h. The material was then removed, cooled, and crushed to obtain crushed polyurethane elastomer. The crushed material was then used in an injection molding machine to process test pieces and de-coating wheel samples. The injection temperature was controlled within the range of 210-240°C, and the injection pressure was controlled at 50 kgf / cm². 2 -70kgf / cm 2 Scope. The obtained test pieces and samples were annealed in an oven at 120℃ for 24 hours and then cooled to room temperature for 1 week before performance evaluation.
[0058] As can be seen from the comparison between Comparative Example 7 and Example 4, the strength and wear resistance of the material decreased after the proportion of raw materials was changed.
[0059] Table 1 shows the performance test results of the polyurethane products prepared in the above embodiments and comparative examples.
[0060] Table 1
[0061] As can be seen, the polyurethane elastomer prepared based on the technical solution of this invention not only possesses excellent tensile strength, tear resistance, and low system abrasion and friction coefficient, achieving wear resistance and friction reduction, but also has a high Vicat softening point and extremely low loss tangent (tanδ), achieving low heat generation in high-heat and high-speed application scenarios. Simultaneously, it has a lower surface resistivity than conventional polyurethane elastomers, providing antistatic functionality.
