Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of composite material technology, and more particularly to a quasi-isotropic composite material, a photovoltaic composite material, and a photovoltaic frame. Background Technology

[0002] Solar power generation is a device that uses photovoltaic (PV) modules to directly convert solar energy into electrical energy. The PV module is the core and most important component of a solar power generation system. The overall structure of a PV module consists of a frame, solar photovoltaic glass mounted on the frame, solar cells (also called silicon wafers or silicon panels) located beneath the solar photovoltaic glass, a hot-melt adhesive layer, a junction box, and an insulating backsheet. Currently, existing frames are generally made of metal materials, especially aluminum alloys. However, aluminum frames generally have low connection strength and poor load-bearing capacity, which to some extent affects the performance of the solar photovoltaic module.

[0003] Currently, existing technologies also disclose solutions for improving the strength of frame materials by adding reinforcing glass fibers to the resin matrix (such as CN115863462A). However, due to the long glass fiber and resin blending-pultrusion preparation process used, the resulting frame material exhibits significant differences in mechanical properties in different directions. When installing with matching screw holes, the force direction is not completely consistent with the reinforcement direction, making it prone to tearing and delamination at the hole location, thus failing to completely replace aluminum alloy frames in various applications. Some manufacturers choose to add pressure blocks when installing with matching screw holes, which not only increases costs but also complicates the installation process, hindering the widespread application of photovoltaic composite materials and their adaptation to conventional usage scenarios.

[0004] Therefore, how to achieve an isotropic composite material has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a quasi-isotropic composite material, a photovoltaic composite material, and a photovoltaic frame. By arranging long glass fibers at equal and regular angles, the mechanical properties of the composite material are enhanced in the direction of the long glass fiber reinforcement, while also improving the mechanical properties of the composite material perpendicular to the direction of the long glass fiber and in different angle directions, thus giving the composite material quasi-isotropic characteristics.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a quasi-isotropic composite material, the quasi-isotropic composite material comprising a long glass fiber skeleton and a resin matrix A;

[0008] The long glass fiber skeleton comprises at least two layers of long glass fibers, and each layer of long glass fibers A is arranged at equal angles.

[0009] Because glass fiber is an axially isotropic cylinder with dense atomic arrangement and strong chemical bonds in the axial direction, it has high tensile modulus and strength. However, its radial atomic arrangement is sparse and chemical bonds are weak, resulting in significantly lower modulus and strength. During composite material molding, glass fibers are typically aligned in one direction, leading to anisotropy in different directions. Furthermore, the bonding strength between the resin matrix and glass fibers is limited, making interfacial debonding prone to occur, further exacerbating the anisotropy of the composite material. This invention provides a quasi-isotropic composite material containing a long glass fiber skeleton. By adjusting the orientation distribution of each layer of long glass fibers in the skeleton, with each layer arranged at equal angles, the resulting composite material exhibits quasi-isotropic properties.

[0010] The long glass fiber skeleton described in this invention comprises at least two layers of long glass fibers, such as two, three, four, five, or six layers, preferably four layers.

[0011] Wherein, when the long glass fiber skeleton comprises 2 layers of long glass fibers A, the orientation degree of each layer of long glass fibers A is 0° and 90°; when the long glass fiber skeleton comprises 3 layers of long glass fibers A, the orientation degree of each layer of long glass fibers A is 0°, 60° and 120°; when the long glass fiber skeleton comprises 4 layers of long glass fibers A, the orientation degree of each layer of long glass fibers A is 0°, 90°, 45° and -45°, or it can be 60°, 15°, -75° and -30°; when the long glass fiber skeleton comprises 5 layers of long glass fibers A, the orientation degree of each layer of long glass fibers A is 0°, 36°, 72°, -18° and -54°; when the long glass fiber skeleton comprises 6 layers of long glass fibers A, the orientation degree of each layer of long glass fibers A is 0°, 30°, 60°, 90°, -30° and -60°; or other arrangements with the same angle difference as the above angles. In this invention, the orientation of each layer of long glass fiber A is based on the 0° reference of the production direction of the quasi-isotropic composite material.

[0012] Preferably, the linear density of the long glass fiber A is 1000-2400 Tex, for example, it can be 1000 Tex, 1200 Tex, 1400 Tex, 1500 Tex, 1600 Tex, 1800 Tex, 2000 Tex, 2200 Tex or 2400 Tex, etc.

[0013] Preferably, the resin matrix A includes any one or a combination of at least two of epoxy resin, polyurethane resin, acrylic resin, or vinyl resin.

[0014] Preferably, the degree of crosslinking of the quasi-isotropic composite material is 30-80%, for example, it can be 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70% or 80%, etc., preferably 40%.

[0015] The present invention preferably uses a crosslinking degree of 40% for the quasi-isotropic composite material. If the degree of crosslinking is lower than this, the surface viscosity of the quasi-isotropic material will be high, which is not conducive to subsequent cutting. If the degree of crosslinking is higher than this, there may be a risk of delamination after the quasi-isotropic material and the resin matrix B are crosslinked and cured.

[0016] Preferably, the quasi-isotropic composite material further includes short glass fibers.

[0017] Preferably, the short glass fibers are mixed in resin matrix A.

[0018] Preferably, the short glass fiber has a length of 1-5 mm, for example, it can be 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm or 5 mm, etc.

[0019] Preferably, the diameter of the short glass fiber is 5-15 mm, for example, it can be 5 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, 14 mm or 15 mm, etc.

[0020] Preferably, the outermost side of the quasi-isotropic composite material is provided with glass fiber mat A.

[0021] Preferably, the glass fiber mat A comprises continuous glass fiber mat and / or chopped glass fiber mat.

[0022] Preferably, the weight of the glass fiber mat A is 200-500 g / m. 2 For example, it could be 200 g / m 2 300 g / m 2 400 g / m 2 Or 500 g / m 2 wait.

[0023] Preferably, the quasi-isotropic composite material comprises, by mass percentage, 30-90% long glass fiber A, 0.01-30% short glass fiber, 0.01-30% glass fiber mat A, and 9-40% resin matrix A.

[0024] Among them, "30-90%" can be 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80% or 90%, etc., "0.01-30%" can be 0.01%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% or 30%, etc., and "9-40%" can be 9%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35% or 40%, etc.

[0025] Preferably, the quasi-isotropic composite material comprises, by mass percentage, 60% long glass fiber A, 10% short glass fiber, 10% glass fiber mat A, and 20% resin matrix A.

[0026] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a quasi-isotropic composite material as described in the first aspect, the method comprising the following steps:

[0027] (1) The long glass fiber A is pulled and arranged to obtain a long glass fiber skeleton;

[0028] (2) The long glass fiber skeleton, optionally short glass fiber, and resin matrix B are mixed and molded to obtain the quasi-isotropic composite material.

[0029] This invention uses a traction machine to pull and arrange long glass fibers A to obtain a long glass fiber skeleton.

[0030] Preferably, the mixing temperature in step (2) is the melting temperature of the resin matrix A used.

[0031] Preferably, the molding temperature in step (2) is 200-300℃, for example, 200℃, 220℃, 240℃, 260℃, 280℃ or 300℃, and the time is 10-200 s, for example, 10 s, 50 s, 100 s, 150 s or 200 s.

[0032] Preferably, the molding process includes pultrusion molding, compression molding, or in-mold injection molding.

[0033] Preferably, the preparation method further includes wrapping glass fiber mat A before molding.

[0034] The quasi-isotropic composite material provided by this invention is prepared by uniformly wrapping glass fiber mat on the profile along the molding direction. After curing, when preparing photovoltaic composite materials, the glass fiber mat, as the outer layer of fiber reinforcement material, is simultaneously impregnated with resin. The final photovoltaic composite material is mainly composed of a resin layer.

[0035] When the quasi-isotropic composite material provided by the present invention includes short glass fibers, step (2) is to first mix the short glass fibers with the resin matrix A, and then add the long glass fiber skeleton for mixing.

[0036] When the quasi-isotropic composite material provided by this invention contains short glass fibers or coated glass fiber mats, since the long glass fibers are basically continuous long fibers, the material after being impregnated with resin is equivalent to a continuous material, and its anisotropic mechanical properties are enhanced on the basis of long fibers. However, the fibers in short glass fibers and glass fiber mats are mostly short fibers, which only enhance the mechanical properties of the existing resin and do not play a role in improving the mechanical properties of long fibers. Although adding short fibers to continuous long fibers can improve the isotropy of the material, short fibers may be stress concentration points and are more prone to microcracks, which will lead to a decrease in the mechanical properties of the material.

[0037] Thirdly, the present invention provides a photovoltaic composite material, the composite material comprising the quasi-isotropic composite material as described in the first aspect and a resin matrix B.

[0038] Preferably, each of the resin matrices B independently comprises any one or a combination of at least two of epoxy resin, polyurethane resin, acrylic resin, or vinyl resin.

[0039] Preferably, the photovoltaic composite material further includes long glass fibers B.

[0040] Preferably, the linear density of the long glass fiber B is 1000-2400 Tex, for example, it can be 1000 Tex, 1200 Tex, 1400 Tex, 1500 Tex, 1600 Tex, 1800 Tex, 2000 Tex, 2200 Tex or 2400 Tex, etc.

[0041] Preferably, the outermost side of the photovoltaic composite material is provided with glass fiber mat B.

[0042] Preferably, the glass fiber mat B comprises continuous glass fiber mat and / or chopped glass fiber mat.

[0043] Preferably, the weight of the glass fiber mat B is 200-500 g / m. 2 For example, it could be 200 g / m 2 300 g / m 2 400 g / m 2 Or 500 g / m 2 wait.

[0044] Preferably, the photovoltaic composite material comprises, by mass percentage, 40-80% quasi-isotropic composite material, 1-20% long glass fiber B, 1-10% glass fiber mat B, and 10-30% resin matrix B.

[0045] Among them, "40-80%" can be 40%, 50%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, or 80%, etc.; "1-20%" can be 1%, 5%, 10%, 15%, or 20%, etc.; "1-10%" can be 1%, 2%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 8%, or 10%, etc.; and "10-30%" can be 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, or 30%, etc.

[0046] Preferably, the photovoltaic composite material comprises, by mass percentage, 60% quasi-isotropic composite material, 10% long glass fiber B, 5% glass fiber mat B, and 25% resin matrix B.

[0047] Preferably, the resin matrix A is the same as the resin matrix B.

[0048] In this invention, resin matrix A and resin matrix B are made of the same resin matrix, which makes the quasi-isotropic composite material and resin matrix A have excellent compatibility and improves the isotropy of the photovoltaic composite material.

[0049] Fourthly, the present invention provides a method for preparing a photovoltaic composite material as described in the third aspect, the method comprising the following steps:

[0050] The photovoltaic composite material is obtained by mixing and molding the quasi-isotropic composite material as described in the first aspect, optionally long glass fiber B, and resin matrix B.

[0051] Preferably, the mixing temperature is the melting temperature of the resin matrix B used.

[0052] Preferably, the molding temperature is 200-300℃, for example, 200℃, 220℃, 240℃, 260℃, 280℃ or 300℃, and the time is 100-600 s, for example, 100 s, 200 s, 300 s, 400 s, 500 s or 600 s.

[0053] Preferably, the preparation method further includes wrapping glass fiber mat B before molding.

[0054] Preferably, the molding process includes pultrusion molding, compression molding, or in-mold injection molding.

[0055] Fifthly, the present invention provides a photovoltaic frame including at least one reinforcing surface, the reinforcing surface comprising a photovoltaic composite material as described in the fourth aspect.

[0056] Preferably, the unreinforced surface of the photovoltaic frame comprises, by weight percentage, 60-90% long glass fiber (C) and 10-40% resin matrix (C).

[0059] The photovoltaic composite material provided by this invention can be used as a material for the reinforcing surface of a photovoltaic frame. The reinforcing surface is usually the main load-bearing beam (B-side) and the mounting beam (C-side) of the photovoltaic frame.

[0060] The photovoltaic frame is obtained by assembling the reinforced surface and the non-reinforced surface, and the photovoltaic module is obtained by drilling holes in the reinforced surface or assembling it with single-glass, double-glass, non-glass, or other components using pressure blocks.

[0061] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0062] (1) By arranging long glass fibers at equal and regular angles, this invention retains the mechanical properties of the composite material in the direction of long glass fiber reinforcement while enhancing the mechanical properties of the composite material in the direction perpendicular to the long glass fiber and in different angle directions, so that the composite material has quasi-isotropic characteristics.
