[0003] However, in the existing technology, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) vinyl composite material is a commonly used material for key components of magnetic pumps, but it has some defects. The interfacial bonding stability between the PVDF matrix and the reinforcing phase is insufficient, the single carbon fiber treatment method leads to poor dispersion effect, material agglomeration is prone to occur during premixing, and improper moisture content control affects the effect of subsequent processes. There is a lack of targeted equipment pretreatment and impurity removal measures during melt blending, and unreasonable pressure and cooling control during molding leads to uneven internal structure of the material, accumulation of residual stress, and a lack of effective post-treatment processes to optimize the surface properties of the material, making it difficult to meet the comprehensive requirements of the working conditions.

[0020] Compared with existing technologies, this method for preparing polyvinylidene fluoride vinyl composite material for a key component of a magnetic pump has the following advantages:

[0021] I. This invention involves grafting and modifying PVDF resin, sequentially oxidizing and impregnating carbon fibers with silane coupling agents, selecting specific functional fillers, and then premixing the surface-treated carbon fibers with the functional fillers. This process creates a suitable interfacial bond between the modified PVDF matrix, the reinforcing phase, and the functional fillers. The premixing process ensures full contact between the materials, preventing agglomeration and resulting in a more uniform component distribution in the composite material. This ensures the consistency of the internal structure of the material and makes the properties of each part of the material more uniform, thus meeting the stress requirements of key components in magnetic pumps.

[0022] II. This invention involves melt-blending a modified PVDF matrix with a premixed material, followed by preheating and devolatilization filtration to remove impurities and volatiles.

[0028] To further illustrate the technical means and effects of the present invention in achieving its intended purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structures, features, and effects of the present invention, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, is provided below.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] In the preparation of composite materials for the impeller of a magnetic pump for conveying 30% sulfuric acid in the chemical industry, a PVDF resin with a melt index of 12 g / 10 min suitable for strong acid media was selected. Maleic anhydride grafting modification was performed using a melt grafting method, controlling the grafting rate at 1.5% to strengthen the bonding ability with the reinforcing phase, thus obtaining a modified PVDF matrix. Figure 1 As shown, carbon fiber was selected as the reinforcing phase, specifically T700 grade carbon fiber with a diameter of 7μm. It was placed in a 68wt% nitric acid solution and oxidized at 65℃ for 3h to increase surface active groups. After removal, it was repeatedly rinsed with deionized water until the rinsing solution was neutral. After drying, it was immersed in a 2wt% silane coupling agent KH-550 ethanol solution and impregnated with a 130W ultrasonic device for 30min to improve the interfacial bonding stability. After drying, surface-treated carbon fiber was obtained. Nano-Al2O3 with a particle size of 50nm was selected as a functional filler to avoid the introduction of impurities that would affect the acid resistance.

[0031] Surface-treated carbon fiber and nano-Al2O3 were selected at a mass ratio of 4:1. Considering the influence of material uniformity on corrosion resistance under strong acid environment, the two materials were placed separately in a forced-air drying oven and dried at 90℃ for 2.5h before mixing to reduce the moisture content to 0.015% and prevent residual moisture from causing internal pores. The two materials were then put into a horizontal ball mill, with a speed of 300rpm, a mixing time of 2h, and a ball-to-material ratio of 5:1. During the mixing process, the mill was stopped for 8 minutes every 35min, and the material adhering to the cylinder wall was turned over with a sterile scraper to ensure that the reinforcing phase and functional filler were evenly dispersed. After mixing, the mixture was sieved through a 100-mesh stainless steel screen to remove agglomerated particles to avoid stress concentration during impeller operation, thus obtaining a premixed material.

[0032] Modified PVDF matrix and premixed material were fed into a twin-screw extruder at a mass ratio of 4:1. To prevent residual impurities in the barrel from contaminating the material and affecting its corrosion resistance, the barrel and screw were preheated to 175℃ for 40 minutes before extrusion. Temperature gradients were set: 180℃ for the feeding section, 195℃ for the melting section, 205℃ for the mixing section, and 190℃ for the die head. The screw speed was 150 rpm, and the vacuum degree of the twin-screw extruder was maintained at -0.08 MPa. Volatile matter was removed from the material through 12 minutes of vacuum devolatilization. During the devolatilization process, impurities of different particle sizes were sequentially filtered through a three-stage filtration device with filtration pore sizes of 5μm, 2μm, and 0.5μm to ensure material purity. A stable feeding rate of 6 kg / h was maintained, and the material was extruded through a 4mm diameter die head at a traction rate of 1.0 m / min to obtain a uniform strip-shaped extruded material suitable for impeller forming. Figure 2 As shown.

[0033] The extruded material is cut into blocks that fit the shape of the impeller and transferred to a molding press. The mold cavity is designed according to the impeller contour to give the composite material a suitable shape. The inner wall of the mold cavity is polished to a surface roughness of 0.6μm, and the parallelism error of the pressure plate is controlled within 0.015mm. A gradient pressure is set: 5MPa for 5min preheating, 15MPa for 20min holding, and 8MPa for slow release. The pressure drop rate in the slow release stage is 2MPa / min. During the molding process, the mold temperature is maintained at 200℃ to ensure that the material is fully fused. During cooling, the temperature is reduced at a rate of 10℃ / min from 200℃ to 150℃ and 5℃ / min from 150℃ to 80℃. After cooling to 80℃, the molded composite material is placed in a clean room temperature environment to cool naturally for 3 hours. After cooling, the edges are trimmed to remove excess material, resulting in a molded composite material that fits the shape of the impeller.

[0034] The molded composite material adapted to the impeller shape was placed in a plasma treatment device, and a mixed gas of Ar and O2 in a volume ratio of 3:1 was introduced, with the gas flow rate controlled at 25 sccm. The vacuum degree of the plasma treatment device was maintained at 0.06 MPa, and the treatment power was set to 120 W and the treatment time to 5 min. After the treatment was completed, the mixed gas was introduced for another 5 min, and then the gas supply was stopped and the device was kept in a vacuum state for 12 min to ensure the surface modification effect was stable. Finally, a polyvinylidene fluoride composite material adapted to the impeller of a magnetic pump for conveying 30% sulfuric acid in the chemical industry was obtained.

[0035] In summary, to meet the impeller adaptation requirements of magnetic pumps for conveying 30% sulfuric acid in the chemical industry, a modified PVDF matrix was obtained by grafting maleic anhydride onto PVDF resin suitable for strong acid media. Surface-treated carbon fibers were obtained by ultrasonic impregnation with nitric acid oxidation and a silane coupling agent using carbon fiber as the reinforcing phase. These fibers were then combined with nano-Al2O3 functional fillers, pre-mixed at a mass ratio of 4:1, dried, and sieved. Finally, the mixture was melt-blended with the modified PVDF matrix at a 4:1 ratio using a twin-screw extruder. The resulting composite material was then subjected to gradient pressure molding, trimming, and plasma post-treatment to obtain a high-temperature resistant, strong acid-resistant, and structurally uniform polyvinylidene fluoride composite material that perfectly meets the impeller's operating requirements.

[0036] Example 2:

[0037] In the preparation of composite materials for the bushing of magnetic pumps used in the pharmaceutical industry for transporting chlorine-containing corrosive and toxic media, a PVDF resin with a melt index of 13 g / 10 min that meets the cleanliness standards of the pharmaceutical industry was selected. The resin was modified with maleic anhydride grafting, controlling the grafting rate at 1.6%, to obtain a modified PVDF matrix. Carbon fiber was selected as the reinforcing phase, specifically T700 grade carbon fiber with a diameter of 6.5 μm. This carbon fiber was oxidized at 68°C with 67 wt% nitric acid for 3.2 h to improve the bonding force between the surface and the matrix. After rinsing and drying, it was immersed in a 2.2 wt% silane coupling agent KH-550 ethanol solution and impregnated for 32 min with the assistance of a 140W ultrasonic device. After drying, surface-treated carbon fiber was obtained. Nano-Al2O3 with a particle size of 55 nm and no heavy metal impurities was selected as the functional filler, meeting the material safety requirements of the pharmaceutical industry.

[0038] Surface-treated carbon fiber and nano-Al2O3 were selected at a mass ratio of 5:1. Considering the requirement for material uniformity in the bushing sealing performance, the two materials were dried in a 100℃ forced-air drying oven for 2.8 hours before mixing to ensure that the moisture content was ≤0.01% to prevent internal pores from affecting the seal. The two materials were then put into a ball mill, with a speed of 310 rpm, a mixing time of 2.2 hours, and a ball-to-material ratio of 5.5:1. During the mixing process, the mill was stopped for 9 minutes every 38 minutes to manually stir the mixture to ensure that the reinforcing phase and functional filler were evenly dispersed. After mixing, the mixture was sieved through a 110-mesh sieve to remove undispersed agglomerated particles, resulting in a high-purity premixed material.

[0039] The modified PVDF matrix and premixed material are mixed at a mass ratio of 3.5:1 and fed into a twin-screw extruder; to ensure material cleanliness, such as Figure 3As shown, the barrel and screw were preheated to 178℃ and held for 42 minutes before extrusion. The temperature gradient was set to 182℃ for the feeding section, 198℃ for the melting section, 208℃ for the mixing section, and 192℃ for the die head. The screw speed was 155 rpm, and the vacuum degree was maintained at -0.085 MPa. Volatile matter was removed by vacuum de-idleization for 13 minutes. Impurities were intercepted by a three-stage filtration device during the de-idleization process. The filter pore sizes were 5.5μm, 2.5μm, and 0.6μm, respectively. A stable feeding rate of 7 kg / h was controlled, and the material was extruded through a 4.5 mm diameter die head at a traction rate of 1.1 m / min to obtain extruded material with a uniform diameter.

[0040] The extruded material is cut into blocks that fit the shape of the bushing and placed into a custom molding press. The mold cavity is designed according to the bushing contour. The inner wall of the mold cavity is polished to a surface roughness of 0.7μm, and the parallelism error of the pressure plate is ≤0.018mm. A gradient pressure is set: 4.5MPa for 4.5min during the preheating stage, 14.5MPa for 19min during the holding stage, and 7.5MPa for the slow release stage. The slow release pressure decrease rate is 1.8MPa / min. The mold temperature is maintained at 205℃ during molding to ensure that the material is fully leveled. The cooling process is carried out at a rate of 9℃ / min from 200℃ to 150℃ and 4.5℃ / min from 150℃ to 80℃. After cooling to 80℃, it is allowed to cool naturally for 2.5h to ensure dimensional stability. After cooling, the edges are trimmed to remove burrs, resulting in a molded composite material that fits the shape of the bushing.

[0041] The molded composite material adapted to the bushing shape was placed in a plasma treatment device, and a mixed gas of Ar and O2 in a volume ratio of 3.2:1 was introduced. The gas flow rate was controlled at 28 sccm, and the vacuum degree of the plasma treatment device was 0.055 MPa. The treatment power was set to 125W and the treatment time to 5.5 min. The surface smoothness of the material was optimized through plasma treatment to reduce the risk of residual toxic media. After the treatment was completed, the mixed gas was introduced for another 5.5 min. After the gas supply was stopped, the vacuum state of the device was maintained for 13 min before the vacuum was broken and the material was removed. This yielded a polyvinylidene fluoride composite material adapted to the bushing of a magnetic pump for conveying chlorine-containing corrosive and toxic media in the pharmaceutical field.

[0042] In summary, for the application scenarios of magnetic pump bushings used in the pharmaceutical field for conveying chlorine-containing corrosive and toxic media, a matrix is ​​prepared by modifying PVDF resin to meet cleanliness standards. T700 grade carbon fiber is used as the reinforcing phase, which is oxidized and coupled, premixed with nano-Al2O3 at a ratio of 5:1, dried and sieved, and then preheated and blended with the matrix at a ratio of 3.5:1 using an extruder. Finally, it is molded with gradient pressure using a customized mold, trimmed by segmented cooling, and surface modified by plasma to meet the requirements of the bushing.

[0043] Example 3:

[0044] In the application of composite materials for sealing rings of magnetic pumps used in the environmental protection field for transporting high-salt corrosive wastewater, a PVDF resin with a melt index of 11 g / 10 min and excellent salt corrosion resistance was selected. The resin was modified with maleic anhydride grafting, controlling the grafting rate at 1.4%, to obtain a modified PVDF matrix. Carbon fiber was selected as the reinforcing phase, specifically T700 grade carbon fiber with a diameter of 7.5 μm. This carbon fiber was oxidized at 63℃ for 2.8 h with 66 wt% nitric acid to increase surface roughness. After rinsing and drying, it was immersed in a 1.8 wt% silane coupling agent KH-550 ethanol solution and impregnated for 28 min with 120W ultrasonic equipment to improve the bonding strength with the matrix. After drying, surface-treated carbon fiber was obtained. Nano-Al2O3 with a particle size of 45 nm and good dispersibility was selected as a functional filler to enhance the material's wear resistance.

[0045] Surface-treated carbon fiber and nano-Al2O3 were mixed at a mass ratio of 3.5:1. Considering that the wear resistance of the sealing ring depends on the dispersibility of the material, the two materials were dried separately in a 95℃ forced-air drying oven for 2.2 hours before mixing to reduce the moisture content to 0.018% and prevent micropores from appearing after molding. The two materials were then put into a horizontal ball mill, with a speed of 290 rpm, a mixing time of 1.8 hours, and a ball-to-material ratio of 4.5:1. During the mixing process, the mill was stopped for 7 minutes every 32 minutes to stir the material in the mill and prevent the reinforcing phase from agglomerating and affecting the wear resistance uniformity. After mixing, the mixture was sieved through a 90-mesh sieve to remove agglomerated particles and obtain a uniformly dispersed premixed material.

[0046] Modified PVDF matrix and premixed material were mixed at a mass ratio of 4.2:1 and fed into a twin-screw extruder. To avoid residual impurities in the barrel affecting material purity, the barrel and screw were preheated to 172℃ and held for 35 minutes before extrusion. A temperature gradient was set at 178℃ for the feeding section, 193℃ for the melting section, 203℃ for the mixing section, and 188℃ for the die head. The screw speed was 145 rpm, and the equipment vacuum was maintained at -0.075 MPa. Volatile matter and trace impurities in the material were removed by vacuum devolatilization for 11 minutes. During the devolatilization process, impurities of different particle sizes were successively intercepted by a three-stage filtration device with filter pore sizes of 5μm, 2μm, and 0.4μm, respectively. A stable feeding rate of 5.5 kg / h was controlled, and the material was extruded through a 3.5 mm diameter die head at a traction rate of 0.9 m / min to obtain strip-shaped extruded material with uniform diameter.

[0047] The extruded material is cut into blocks that fit the shape of the sealing ring and placed into a custom molding press. The mold cavity is designed according to the contour of the sealing ring. The inner wall of the mold cavity is polished to achieve a surface roughness of 0.75μm, and the parallelism error of the pressure plate is controlled within 0.017mm to ensure uniform material thickness. A gradient pressure is set: 4.8MPa for 4.8min during the preheating stage, 15.2MPa for 21min during the holding stage, and 7.8MPa during the slow release stage. The pressure drop rate during the slow release stage is 2.2MPa / min. The mold temperature is maintained at 195℃ during the molding process to ensure full material fusion. During cooling, the temperature is reduced at a rate of 11℃ / min from 200℃ to 150℃ and 5.5℃ / min from 150℃ to 80℃. After cooling to 80℃, the molded composite material is placed in a clean room temperature environment to cool naturally for 2.5h to avoid dimensional deformation caused by rapid cooling. After cooling, the edges are trimmed to remove burrs and ensure a smooth sealing surface, resulting in a molded composite material that fits the shape of the sealing ring.

[0048] The molded composite material adapted to the sealing ring shape was placed in a plasma treatment device, and a mixed gas of Ar and O2 in a volume ratio of 2.8:1 was introduced. The gas flow rate was controlled at 23 sccm, and the vacuum degree of the device was maintained at 0.058 MPa. The treatment power was set to 115W and the treatment time was 4.5 min. The plasma treatment improved the surface density and wear resistance of the material and reduced the channels for salt spray corrosion. After the treatment was completed, the mixed gas was introduced for another 4.5 min, and then the gas supply was stopped and the vacuum state of the device was maintained for 11 min to ensure the stability of the surface modification effect. Finally, a polyvinylidene fluoride composite material adapted to the sealing ring of a magnetic pump for transporting high-salt corrosive wastewater in the environmental protection field was obtained.

[0049] In summary, to meet the sealing ring requirements of magnetic pumps for conveying high-salt corrosive wastewater in the environmental protection field, a matrix was obtained by modifying salt-resistant PVDF resin. Carbon fiber was used as the reinforcing phase and subjected to oxidative coupling treatment. After premixing and drying with nano-Al2O3 at a ratio of 3.5:1 and sieving, the carbon fiber was preheated and blended with the matrix at a ratio of 4.2:1 using an extruder. Then, the mixture was subjected to gradient pressure molding with a sealing ring contour mold, segmented cooling trimming, and plasma treatment to finally obtain a wear-resistant, salt spray-resistant, and dimensionally stable polyvinylidene fluoride composite material, which meets the sealing ring usage requirements under wastewater conveying conditions.
