Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin composite material processing, in particular to a post-coating mold and a melt impregnation mold system. Background Art

[0002] Continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin-based composites are high-performance composites made of thermoplastic resin as matrix material and continuous fiber as reinforcement material through various composite molding processes. Continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites make up for the limitations of fiber length and fiber continuity on the performance of composites. With its excellent mechanical properties and mechanical properties, it is widely used in aerospace, transportation, medical equipment, power engineering, industrial manufacturing, building materials and other industries.

[0003] The more common preparation processes for continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin composites currently include melt impregnation process, solution pre-impregnation process, powder impregnation process and mixed yarn impregnation process. Among them, the more commonly used is the melt impregnation process, which utilizes the characteristics of thermoplastic resin melting when heated, uses an extruder to extrude the molten thermoplastic resin into a heated and heat-insulated mold, and the continuous fiber uses a traction device to provide tension through the mold cavity filled with thermoplastic resin melt. Under the combined action of tension and pressure, the fiber yarn spreading (highly bundled fibers are dispersed and spread into a loose state by various means, which can also be called fiber opening or bundle opening) impregnation is achieved. The core of the melt impregnation process is the fiber yarn spreading and impregnation. The designs of different structures and shapes of existing impregnation molds are all for improving the dispersion degree of fibers and the impregnation effect of fibers. Common designs include curved impregnation flow channel molds, resin split jet impregnation molds, and adjustable wrapping angle slit roller impregnation molds. The mold structure and shape design is one of the most core influencing factors of the thermoplastic resin melt impregnation process, but there are some problems with the existing public impregnation mold designs.

[0069] For the above-mentioned melt impregnation mold system, the preparation process of preparing continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin filaments with different diameters, glass fiber content and high viscosity value may specifically include the following steps:

The thermoplastic resin is extruded into the rear coating mold 3 through an extruder to complete the rear coating of the composite wires, thereby obtaining a continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin wire with a higher viscosity value.

[0074] The resin wire prepared by the utility model is completed by two steps of impregnation and coating. The impregnation and coating processes can select the same or different resin grades according to the needs. The impregnation process can select a resin with relatively low molecular weight and viscosity to improve the impregnation effect, and the post-coating process stage can select a resin with relatively high molecular weight and viscosity to achieve the purpose of improving the surface quality of the wire, adjusting the fiber content and molecular weight and its distribution of the product, and improving the mechanics of the product.

[0076] In the above step (b), the thermoplastic resin is selected from polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon, polyetheretherketone, polyesters including polyethylene terephthalate, polylactic acid, and polyurethane.

[0077] In the above step (c), the pulling speed of the pulling device ranges from 1 m / min to 100 m / min, preferably from 1 m / min to 20 m / min.

[0078] In summary, the utility model realizes quantitative setting of the degree of fiber pre-dispersion through a fiber pre-dispersion device, improves the repeatability of the process, and reduces the temperature difference between the fiber and the molten resin through the fiber preheating function, thereby improving the impregnation effect of the fiber in the mold cavity; after being processed by the melt impregnation die, a plurality of wires with smaller diameters are integrated through a post-coating mold to realize customization of wires with different diameters (for example, a 0.85 mm wire prepared by a melt impregnation die is prepared to obtain a post-coating diameter of 2.0 mm wire), which not only improves the surface quality and roundness of the wire, regulates the glass fiber content and molecular weight of the wire and its distribution, but also can further improve the interface bonding effect between the fiber and the resin, improve the impregnation effect of the fiber bundle, and thereby improve the mechanical and physical and chemical properties of the prepared continuous fiber impregnated thermoplastic resin composite material.

[0080] 1. In the utility model, the dispersion roller is adjusted in height by rotating the compass with scale to change the pre-dispersion tension of the fiber. The tension value can be intuitively read and recorded through the compass scale, which greatly improves the repeatability of the preparation process of continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite materials;

[0081] 2. The preparation method provided by the utility model completes the preparation of continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite materials by three steps of fiber pre-dispersion and preheating, melt impregnation and post-coating, wherein the post-coating process is completed by a separate post-coating mold, which improves the stability of the preparation process.

During post-coating, the fiber content, molecular weight and distribution of the product can be adjusted according to needs, while improving the surface quality and roundness of the product, improving the fiber impregnation effect and thus improving the mechanical and physical and chemical properties of the composite material. The mechanical properties of the prepared composite material are improved by 10-30%, the molecular weight can be increased by 50-300%, and the glass fiber content can be adjusted in the range of 10-80%;
