Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of polymer compound technology, and more specifically, to a high wear-resistant nylon material, composite gears, and their application in electric vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of the automotive industry's transformation towards electrification, wear-resistant nylon materials and their derived composite gears have gradually become key components of power transmission systems due to their unique advantages, and their application value is becoming increasingly prominent in the field of electric vehicles. Nylon, or polyamide, possesses several excellent properties: 1. It is lightweight and has outstanding mechanical properties, including good tensile strength and rigidity, enabling it to withstand mechanical loads; 2. It has a low coefficient of surface friction and self-lubricating properties; 3. It has good chemical resistance and processability, making it easy to manufacture various complex structures according to different needs. However, pure nylon materials have drawbacks when used to manufacture composite gears, such as insufficient mechanical strength, weak wear resistance, large molding shrinkage, and susceptibility to warping. Therefore, additives are used to improve these properties.

[0003] In the fabrication of composite gears, nylon is often used as the core matrix material. Additives used to improve nylon properties typically include reinforcing materials such as fibers and whiskers, or functional fillers such as graphene and molybdenum disulfide. The addition of reinforcing materials can significantly improve the rigidity and impact resistance of the gears; however, poor compatibility between the reinforcing materials and nylon at the interface is a common problem, leading to unsatisfactory performance of nylon composite materials.

[0004] Patent application CN114716821A discloses a glass fiber reinforced nylon material and its preparation method. This invention's glass fiber reinforced nylon material comprises the following raw materials: nylon, polyethylene polyamine, glass fiber, and other additives. The glass fiber reinforced nylon material of this invention is prepared by uniformly mixing nylon, polyethylene polyamine, and other additives in a mixer to obtain a mixture; then adding the mixture to a twin-screw extruder for melt blending; adding glass fiber through side feeding; extruding the material into strips; and finally, pelletizing and drying the strips. This invention's glass fiber reinforced nylon material exhibits good hydrolysis resistance, and the material has a low torque during extrusion, which can improve processing efficiency.

[0005] While the method described in the aforementioned document, which involves directly adding glass fibers to the mixture, is convenient, it carries the risk of uneven dispersion of the glass fibers within the nylon matrix, leading to fiber agglomeration. This uneven dispersion creates stress concentration points within the material. When the material is subjected to external forces, the agglomerated glass fibers cannot effectively transfer and distribute the load, resulting in suboptimal mechanical performance, affecting product quality, and limiting the application of nylon materials in fields requiring high consistency in mechanical properties. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To further improve the compatibility between fibers and nylon, and thus enhance the mechanical and wear-resistant properties of nylon materials, this application provides a high-wear-resistant nylon material, a composite gear, and its application in electric vehicles.

[0007] In a first aspect, this application provides a high-wear-resistant nylon material, which adopts the following technical solution: A high abrasion-resistant nylon material comprising the following components: nylon 66, modified glass fiber, hyperbranched polymer, and filler; The modified glass fiber is composed of glass fiber and a metal organophosphorus framework; The hyperbranched polymer is made from raw materials including siloxy derivatives, polyhydroxy compounds and epichlorohydrin.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, a metal-organic phosphine framework is generated on the surface of glass fiber, increasing the roughness of the glass fiber and thus increasing the contact area between the modified glass fiber and the nylon matrix. This increases the bonding force between the modified glass fiber and the nylon matrix. At the same time, under external force, the larger contact area prevents slippage between the fiber and the nylon matrix. Introducing terminal epoxy groups into the hyperbranched polymer allows the epoxy groups to react with the terminal amino and carboxyl groups of nylon to form a slightly cross-linked network, inhibiting molecular chain slippage in nylon materials and thus improving the dimensional stability of nylon. Furthermore, the three-dimensional branched network brought about by the hyperbranched structure can quickly disperse stress, avoid stress concentration, delay crack propagation, and further improve the toughness of nylon.

[0009] Preferably, the method for preparing the modified glass fiber includes the following steps: mixing glass fiber, methanol, 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphine)ethane and polyvinylpyrrolidone evenly, then adding a mixed solution of zinc nitrate hexahydrate and methanol, reacting, filtering, and drying to obtain the modified glass fiber.

[0010] Preferably, the preparation method of the hyperbranched polymer includes the following steps: mixing a siloxy derivative, a polyhydroxy compound, and p-toluenesulfonic acid to carry out a first-stage polymerization reaction; then adding the siloxy derivative and p-toluenesulfonic acid to carry out a second-stage polymerization reaction; then adding the polyhydroxy compound and p-toluenesulfonic acid to carry out a third-stage polymerization reaction; and finally adding epichlorohydrin to react and obtain the polymer.

[0011] Preferably, the average length of the glass fiber is 1-5 mm. More preferably, the average length of the glass fiber is 3 mm.

[0012] Preferably, the polyhydroxy compound is one or more of glycerol, triethanolamine, and N-methyldiethanolamine.

[0013] Preferably, the mass ratio of 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphine)ethane, zinc nitrate hexahydrate, and polyvinylpyrrolidone is 1:(1.3-2):(1-1.5).

[0014] Preferably, the temperature of the first stage polymerization reaction, the second stage polymerization reaction, and the third stage polymerization reaction are all 120-150℃, and the time is 3-6h.

[0015] Preferably, the filler comprises molybdenum disulfide and nano-silica.

[0016] Secondly, this application provides a composite gear, which is made by injection molding of an iron core covered with the high wear-resistant nylon material.

[0017] Preferably, the injection molding temperature is 220-260℃, the injection molding pressure is 70-90MPa, and the injection molding time is 20-40s.

[0018] Thirdly, this application provides an application of the aforementioned composite gear in an electric vehicle.

[0019] In summary, this application has the following beneficial effects: 1. In the preparation process of high wear-resistant nylon materials, the terminal epoxy groups of the hyperbranched polymer undergo ring-opening reactions with the terminal amino and carboxyl groups in the nylon 66 molecular chain, forming a slightly cross-linked network with nylon, inhibiting molecular chain slippage, thereby improving the creep resistance and heat distortion temperature of nylon, as well as the processing fluidity and dimensional stability of nylon.

[0020] 2. The three-dimensional branched network of the hyperbranched structure can quickly disperse stress, avoid stress concentration, reduce crack propagation rate, and further improve the toughness of nylon.

[0021] 3. The increased surface roughness of modified glass fiber increases the contact area between glass fiber and nylon. Furthermore, the rough surface of modified glass fiber enhances the physical anchoring effect between fiber and nylon through mechanical interlocking, reducing interfacial slippage and interfacial defects, thereby improving the peel resistance and fatigue resistance of the composite material. In addition, the chelation effect between phosphine groups in modified glass fiber and the metal matrix enhances the bonding force between nylon and metal, improving the stability of the composite gear.

[0022] 4. The benzene ring structure present in the modified glass fiber and the terminal epoxy hyperbranched polyester further enhances the bonding force between the modified glass fiber and nylon, improves the dispersibility of the modified glass fiber and its compatibility with nylon, thereby improving the wear resistance and toughness of the composite material.

Impact resistance test Referring to standard GB / T 1043.1-2008, the impact performance of high abrasion resistant nylon materials was tested using an impact testing machine. The sample size was 80mm×10mm×4mm, the notch width was 8mm, the test temperature was 25℃, and the pendulum energy was 25J.

[0054] 2. Tensile strength test Referring to standard GB / T 1447-2005, the tensile properties of high abrasion resistant nylon materials were tested using a universal testing machine. The sample size was 150mm×10mm×4mm, the tensile rate was 10mm / min, and the test temperature was 25℃.

[0055] 3. Abrasion resistance test Referring to standard GB / T 3960-2016, the friction and wear performance of high wear-resistant nylon materials was tested using a friction and wear testing machine. The sample size was 30mm×7mm×6mm, the metal ring rotation speed was 200r / min, the load was set at 196N, the friction pair was subjected to sliding friction for 2 hours, and the test environment temperature was 25℃.

[0056] The instantaneous friction curves of the high wear-resistant nylon materials in Examples 1-3 are as follows: Figure 1-3 As shown.

[0057] The test data of various properties of the high abrasion-resistant nylon materials of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2 are shown in Table 1 below: Table 1. Test data of high abrasion-resistant nylon materials in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2. Analysis of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2, combined with Table 1, shows that the high-wear-resistant nylon material with modified glass fiber and hyperbranched polymer exhibits good mechanical properties and wear resistance. In Comparative Example 1, the hyperbranched polymer prepared does not contain epoxy groups at its end groups compared to Examples 1-3, making it difficult to react with nylon and form a continuous three-dimensional network structure, thus reducing the toughness of the high-wear-resistant nylon material in Comparative Example 1. In Comparative Example 2, the modified glass fiber does not contain benzene ring groups, resulting in a lower bonding force between the modified glass fiber and nylon compared to Examples 1-3, thus reducing the toughness and abrasion resistance of the high-wear-resistant nylon material in Comparative Example 2.
