Description

Technical Field

[0002] Sleepers are important parts in the field of rail transit. They can evenly transfer the load transmitted by the train to the roadbed, and play an important role in the stable and safe operation of rail transit. At present, the most widely used sleepers in the world are wooden sleepers and reinforced concrete sleepers. However, wooden sleepers are prone to decay and aging, uneven strength, and high water absorption. Reinforced concrete sleepers have high maintenance costs, short life, poor toughness, heavy weight, difficult installation, and difficult on-site drilling. Therefore, in recent years, new synthetic sleepers have been widely studied by countries around the world.

[0003] Polyurethane foam synthetic sleepers are composite material synthetic sleepers formed by glass fiber reinforced polyurethane foam, also known as synthetic sleepers. They are widely used due to their advantages such as light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, insulation, good weather resistance, and high production and installation efficiency. However, synthetic sleepers in the prior art also use unidirectional continuous glass fiber reinforcement and no lateral fiber reinforcement. There is a risk of lateral cracking during use. During the production of synthetic sleepers, a release agent needs to be sprayed on the surface of the mold sleeper to allow the sleeper to be demolded smoothly. After demolding, the product surface needs to be polished and painted. The production process is complicated and generates more VOC and dust pollution. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] The specific implementation is as follows:

[0033] like Figure 1-3 As shown, an integrally formed synthetic sleeper comprises a polyurethane resin matrix 101, continuous glass fibers 11 are longitudinally arranged in the polyurethane resin matrix 101, and are used for longitudinal reinforcement of the synthetic sleeper 100. The surface of the polyurethane resin matrix 101 is provided with a reinforcing layer 102 composed of glass fiber fabric 511 and polyurethane resin, and the thickness of the reinforcing layer 102 is 1 to 10 mm; the overall density is 0.64 to 1.4 g / cm 3, wherein the polyurethane resin accounts for 35-50% of the total weight of the synthetic sleeper 100; the continuous glass fiber 11 accounts for 35-60% of the total weight of the synthetic sleeper 100, and the glass fiber fabric 511 accounts for 3-10% of the total weight of the synthetic sleeper 100.

[0034] Specifically, the continuous glass fibers 11 are longitudinally arranged in the polyurethane resin matrix 101, which can increase the overall strength and stability of the synthetic sleeper 100. The reinforcing layer 102 is arranged on the surface of the polyurethane resin matrix 101, which can significantly increase the overall strength of the synthetic sleeper 100 and avoid transverse cracking. The thickness of the reinforcing layer 102 ranges from 1 to 10 mm, and the appropriate thickness can be flexibly selected according to the specific application scenario, thereby expanding the scope of application. The material ratio in the present application can further improve the performance and quality of the synthetic sleeper 100.

[0035] Preferably, the continuous glass fiber 11 is configured as alkali-free glass fiber direct yarn or twisted yarn, and the linear density is 4800-19200 tex.

[0036] Preferably, the glass fiber fabric 511 is made of composite felt of a set color, which is used to produce synthetic sleepers 100 of the required color, thereby reducing the painting process and alleviating pollution to the environment. The color of the synthetic sleeper 100 can be customized according to demand to meet the personalized needs of different customers, and the color of the synthetic sleeper 100 can be ensured to remain consistent throughout the entire production process, which helps to improve the appearance quality of the product and increase the beauty and consistency of the product. The composite felt used as the material of the glass fiber fabric 511 has good durability and anti-aging properties, and can ensure that the color of the synthetic sleeper 100 remains bright and stable after long-term use.

[0037] Preferably, the glass fiber fabric 511 is one or more combinations of continuous mat, stitched mat, chopped mat, mesh cloth, biaxial cloth made of glass fiber, carbon fiber, basalt fiber, nylon fiber, polyester fiber.

[0038] As a preferred example of the present invention, the polyurethane resin is compounded by component A and component B in a weight ratio of 100:100-150; wherein component A is a polyol combination material, and component B is isocyanate.

[0039] Specifically, polyol has good elasticity and flexibility, can increase the durability and impact resistance of the synthetic sleeper 100, and can also provide suitable viscosity and fluidity, which is beneficial to the processing and molding of polyurethane resin. Isocyanate can control the hardness, strength and durability of polyurethane resin, so that the synthetic sleeper 100 has appropriate rigidity and strength. This setting can ensure the performance and quality of polyurethane resin and improve the overall strength and stability of synthetic sleeper 100.

[0040] As a preferred example of the present invention, the average hydroxyl value of component A is 300-500 mgKOH / g, the viscosity at 25°C is 500-2000 mPa·s, and the functionality is 3-6; the isocyanate content of component B is 30-32%, the viscosity at 25°C is 200-600 mPa·s, and the functionality is 2-3.

[0041] Specifically, the average hydroxyl value ranges from 300 to 500 mgKOH / g, which can provide sufficient reactivity and is conducive to the reaction with the isocyanate of component B to form a polyurethane resin. The moderate viscosity makes component A easy to process and mix, which is conducive to the preparation of polyurethane resin. The higher the functionality, the higher the degree of cross-linking of the polyurethane resin, and the hardness and strength will also increase, which helps to improve the hardness and strength of the synthetic sleeper. This setting can provide sufficient reactivity and viscosity, which is conducive to the reaction of component A with component B to form a polyurethane resin, and can improve the hardness and strength of the synthetic sleeper.

[0042] As a preferred example of the present invention, the surface density of the glass fiber fabric 511 is 300 to 1500 g / m 2 , which can be one or more layers

[0043] Specifically, the greater the surface density of the glass fiber fabric, the more layers, the thicker the reinforcement layer, the higher the lateral strength of the synthetic sleeper, but the longitudinal strength will be slightly reduced. The surface density of the glass fiber fabric 511 can be adjusted according to actual application conditions, and synthetic sleepers with different surface reinforcement layer thicknesses can be produced.

[0044] The present application also provides a process for preparing an integrally formed synthetic sleeper, which is used to prepare the above-mentioned integrally formed synthetic sleeper, comprising the steps of:

[0047] Step S3: uniformly impregnating the layered continuous glass fibers 11 with polyurethane resin;

[0048] Step S4: sequentially wrapping the glass fiber fabric 511 and the release paper 521 on the outside of the continuous glass fiber 11 impregnated with the polyurethane resin;

[0049] Step S5: heating the continuous glass fiber 11 coated with the glass fiber fabric 511 and the release paper 521 and the polyurethane resin, and curing the polyurethane resin to form a fiber-reinforced polyurethane synthetic sleeper 100;

[0050] Step S6: cutting and segmenting the cured fiber-reinforced polyurethane synthetic sleeper 100 according to size requirements to obtain a finished synthetic sleeper 100.

[0051] Specifically, by calculating the number of layers of continuous glass fibers 11, the appropriate number of fiber layers can be determined according to the density and glass fiber content of the synthetic sleeper 100, thereby achieving control over the strength and stability of the synthetic sleeper 100. The layered continuous glass fibers 11 can be better combined with the polyurethane resin to improve the overall strength and stability of the synthetic sleeper 100. The coated glass fiber fabric 511 can increase the surface strength of the synthetic sleeper and avoid lateral cracking. Coating the release paper 521 on the outside of the glass fiber fabric 511 facilitates product demoulding, without the need for spraying a release agent and surface polishing, thereby reducing VOC and dust pollution in the production process.

[0087]

[0088]

[0089] Note: 1. The compression strength is sampled from the product surface;

[0090] 2. The direction along the fibers is vertical; the direction perpendicular to the fibers is horizontal.

[0091] It can be seen from the test results in Table 1 that for the example and comparative example products with similar density, except for the vertical compression strength, the lateral compression strength, the pull-out strength of the threaded spikes and the bending zone load of the finished product of the example products are all greater than those of the comparative example, which proves that the surface reinforcement layer of the utility model can significantly increase the overall strength of the synthetic sleeper, and has obvious advantages in performance compared with the existing unidirectional fiber reinforced synthetic sleepers.

[0092] In summary, the one-piece molded synthetic sleeper and preparation device described in the present application have the following advantages: 1. It can significantly increase the overall strength of the synthetic sleeper 100 and avoid lateral cracking; 2. It reduces the painting process and reduces pollution to the environment. The color of the synthetic sleeper 100 can be customized according to demand to meet the personalized needs of different customers. It can ensure that the color of the synthetic sleeper 100 remains consistent throughout the production process, which helps to improve the appearance quality of the product. It has good durability and anti-aging properties, and can ensure that the color of the synthetic sleeper 100 remains bright and stable after long-term use; 3. It is easy to demold the product without spraying release agent and surface polishing, which reduces VOC and dust pollution in the production process.

[0093] Although the utility model is disclosed as above, the utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model shall be subject to the scope defined by the claims.
