Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of cable material preparation technology, and more specifically, it relates to a high-strength weather-resistant wire and cable material for unmanned aerial vehicles and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] As a core component of power transmission and signal control for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), the performance of cables directly determines the flight safety, mission stability, and service life of the UAVs. With the continuous expansion of UAV application scenarios, they have widely covered complex environments such as disaster relief, engineering monitoring, forest fire prevention, field operations, and national defense. These cables must withstand harsh conditions such as strong winds, alternating high and low temperatures, ultraviolet radiation, and humid salt spray corrosion over long periods, while also meeting the requirement for lightweight cable materials due to the limited payload capacity of UAVs.
[0003] Existing drone cable materials mostly use traditional polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or ordinary rubber, which have several performance shortcomings: First, they lack mechanical strength and have generally low tensile strength, making them prone to breakage during drone take-off, landing, and retrieval, and unsuitable for scenarios requiring long-term hovering operations, such as tethered drones. Second, they have poor weather resistance, easily cracking at low temperatures and softening at high temperatures, and are prone to aging and degradation after long-term ultraviolet radiation, significantly shortening their service life. Third, some materials have poor compatibility; adding antistatic agents, weather-resistant agents, and other functional additives can easily lead to a decrease in the material's mechanical properties, failing to meet multi-dimensional performance requirements. Furthermore, existing cable materials often have an excessive weight, increasing drone flight energy consumption and limiting their endurance. To solve these technical problems, there is an urgent need to develop a drone wire and cable material that combines high strength, excellent weather resistance, lightweight, and synergistic compatibility among various properties to adapt to the operational needs of drones in complex environments and improve the reliability and service life of drone cables. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Preferably, in step 1, the mass ratio of 4,4'-difluorobenzophenone, hydroquinone, and aromatic diphenol containing aromatic heterocyclic monomers is 10-12:9-11:3-5.
[0008] Preferably, the aromatic diphenol containing aromatic heterocyclic monomers in step 1 is composed of 4-amino-2,5-dihydroxypyridine and 2-amino-4,6-dihydroxypyrimidine in a mass ratio of 1-1.2:0.5-0.8.

[0010] Preferably, in step 2, the mass ratio of intermediate 1, poly(adipamide) and fluororubber FKM is 100-120:35-40:28-42.
[0011] Preferably, the temperatures of each section of the twin-screw extruder in step 2 are: 290-310℃ for the feeding section, 330-350℃ for the melting section, 340-360℃ for the homogenization section, and 335-345℃ for the die head section.
[0012] Preferably, the ultraviolet absorber is one or more of 2,2'-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone, 2-hydroxy-4-n-octyloxybenzophenone, and 2-(2'-hydroxy-3',5'-di-tert-butylphenyl)-benzotriazole.
[0013] A method for preparing a high-strength, weather-resistant wire and cable material for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) includes the following preparation steps: (1) Modified polyether ether ketone resin, nano silica, titanium dioxide, trioctyl trimellitate, silane coupling agent, ultraviolet absorber, antioxidant and polytetrafluoroethylene micro powder are put into a high-speed mixer and mixed evenly to obtain a premix. (2) Add the premixed material into the twin-screw extruder and set the temperature of each section of the twin-screw extruder as follows: feed section 300-320℃, melting section 340-360℃, homogenization section 350-370℃, and die head section 345-355℃.

[0014] In summary, this application has the following beneficial effects: This application utilizes aromatic diphenols containing aromatic heterocyclic monomers, a blend of 4-amino-2,5-dihydroxypyridine and 2-amino-4,6-dihydroxypyrimidine, in the preparation of modified polyetheretherketone resin. These diphenols, in conjunction with 4,4'-difluorobenzophenone and hydroquinone, undergo precise polymerization. Simultaneously, the viscosity of the system is controlled by strictly regulating the polymerization temperature, rotation speed, and reduced pressure conditions. This allows intermediate 1 to form a stable and high-performance molecular chain structure, laying the foundation for improved resin strength. By blending intermediate 1 with a specific ratio of poly(adipamide) and fluororubber FKM, and adding maleic anhydride-grafted polyolefin elastomer as a compatibilizer, combined with a high-temperature, high-speed shearing and precisely temperature-controlled twin-screw extrusion process, the three components achieve efficient compatibility, significantly improving the toughness and mechanical stability of the modified polyetheretherketone resin and overcoming the performance limitations of single resins. By optimizing the ratio of aromatic diphenols containing aromatic heterocyclic monomers, polymerization termination conditions, and blending process parameters, the prepared modified polyetheretherketone resin combines the high-temperature resistance of polyetheretherketone with the aging resistance of poly(dibutylene adipamide) and fluororubber FKM. This results in wire and cable materials with excellent high strength and weather resistance, making them suitable for use in the complex flight environment of UAVs. Furthermore, the combination of aromatic diphenols containing aromatic heterocyclic monomers further enhances the intermolecular forces of the resin compared to single-monomer modification, thereby improving the overall performance stability of the cable material.

When the system viscosity reaches 1.8 dL / g, stop the pressure reduction and restore the nitrogen atmosphere in the reactor to atmospheric pressure. Add methylparaben and stir at 330℃. The stirring speed was 200 rpm, and the mixture was kept at a constant temperature and stirred for 0.5 h to terminate the polymerization reaction, yielding intermediate 1. In this intermediate, the aromatic diphenol containing the aromatic heterocyclic monomer is composed of 4-amino-2,5-dihydroxypyridine and 2-amino-4,6-dihydroxypyrimidine in a 1:0.5 ratio. The amount of potassium carbonate added is 3% of the mass of 4,4'-difluorobenzophenone, and the amount of methylparaben added is 2% of the total mass of 4,4'-difluorobenzophenone, hydroquinone, and the aromatic diphenol containing the aromatic heterocyclic monomer. Step 2: Mix intermediate 1 and poly(adipamide) at a mass ratio of 100:63 to obtain a mixture; add maleic anhydride-grafted polyolefin elastomer to the mixture, heat to 330°C under nitrogen protection, and shear blend at a shear rate of 800 rpm for 1 hour. Then transfer to a twin-screw extruder, and control the temperature of each section of the twin-screw extruder as follows: feed section 290°C, melt section 330°C, homogenization section 340°C, and die head section 335°C. Melt blend extrusion and granulation are carried out at a screw speed of 200 rpm to obtain modified polyetheretherketone resin. The amount of maleic anhydride-grafted polyolefin elastomer added is 1% of the mass of the mixture.
