Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of automobile air-conditioning control panel preparation, and in particular to an environmentally friendly JH11 air-conditioning control panel. Background Art

[0002] The automotive air conditioning control panel is a crucial component within the vehicle, used to control various functions of the air conditioning system, including temperature adjustment, air speed control, and mode selection. Currently, conventional automotive air conditioning control panels are constructed to some extent from PC composite materials, typically composed of inorganic fillers, masterbatches, PC resin, lubricants, and antioxidants. Masterbatches are selected based on the overall color scheme of the vehicle's interior. Typical masterbatches are black-based masterbatches with a high carbon black content of 30-55wt%, such as PLASBLAK® EG3807 and PA3785. Inorganic fillers, such as titanium dioxide, barium sulfate, calcium carbonate, and talc, are used to improve the mechanical strength and dimensional stability of PC composites.

[0003] During the actual production of JH11 air conditioning control panels, due to issues such as dimensional accuracy and product appearance defects, the yield rate cannot reach 100%, which inevitably results in scrap automotive air conditioning control panels. This scrap is recycled through the existing extrusion, crushing, and melting process to obtain recycled PC composite resin. However, secondary thermal oxidation degradation of the recycled PC composite resin results in a high degree of thermal oxidation fracture of the PC resin molecular weight, reducing its overall mechanical properties and wear resistance, making it unable to meet the production standards for automotive air conditioning control panels. As a result, this scrap is typically sold at a low price to plastic recyclers for recycling. In summary, existing automotive air conditioning control panels suffer from low environmental performance and low utilization of renewable resources. Utility Model Content
