Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fiber testing technology, and in particular to a rapid sample preparation device for testing the interfacial strength of polyimide fibers. Background Technology

[0002] Polyimide fibers possess numerous advantages, including excellent high-temperature resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, mechanical properties, and insulation properties. In composite material applications, they are typically combined with other materials to form composites that leverage their strengths. However, the interfacial bonding strength between polyimide fibers and the matrix material (such as resin) has a crucial impact on the overall performance of the composite material.

[0003] Before testing, polyimide fibers and resin matrix need to be combined to form a prepreg and then cured. In existing technologies, samples are often prepared manually or directly using the factory's production line. Manual operation makes it difficult to accurately control the impregnation process of fibers and resin, which can easily lead to uneven resin distribution and poor repeatability. The latter test is too costly and delays actual production.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a rapid sample preparation device to facilitate the interfacial strength testing of polyimide fibers and accurately evaluate their interfacial bonding performance with the matrix, thereby providing reliable data support for optimizing the preparation process and performance of composite materials.

The support rollers are spaced apart below the drawing heating roller, and the fiber passes through the support rollers.

[0009] Furthermore, the solid resin processor is disposed above the liquid resin processor.

[0010] Furthermore, the first oven is equipped with a first spare roller.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model discloses a rapid sample preparation device for testing the interfacial strength of polyimide fibers, comprising a yarn frame 1, a modification treatment device 2, a first drying oven 3, a resin treatment device 4, a second drying oven 5, and a take-up roller 6; the polyimide fiber filaments are wound on the yarn frame 1, and the take-up roller 6 is used to take up the treated fibers; the modification treatment device 2, the first drying oven 3, the resin treatment device 4, and the second drying oven 5 are arranged sequentially along the fiber movement direction.

[0026] The modification treatment device 2 may include a first treatment tank 21, a first roller 22, and a second roller 23. The first treatment tank 21 contains a modifier solution. The first roller 22 is disposed inside the first treatment tank 21 and is located below the liquid surface. The second roller 23 is located between the yarn frame 1 and the first roller 22. Polyimide fiber filaments pass through the second roller 23 and the first roller 22 into the liquid surface inside the first treatment tank 21.

[0027] The resin processing apparatus 4 may include a liquid resin processor 41 or a solid resin processor 42. The liquid resin processor 41 includes a second processing tank 411 and an impregnation roller 412 disposed in the second processing tank 411.

[0028] like Figure 2As shown, the solid resin processor 42 includes a heating mesh 421, a heating plate 422, a drawing heating roller 423, a metering roller 424, and a support roller 425. The heating plate 422 is inclinedly disposed on one side of the drawing heating roller 423, and its bottom is in contact with the roller surface of the drawing heating roller 423 to form a resin receiving cavity. The heating mesh 421 is disposed directly above the resin receiving cavity. The metering rollers 424 are spaced above the drawing heating roller 423 to control the resin thickness on the drawing heating roller 423. The support rollers 425 are spaced below the drawing heating roller 423, and the fiber passes through the support rollers 425.

[0029] Here, the resin treatment device 4 includes a liquid resin processor 41 and a solid resin processor 42. The solid resin processor 42 is positioned above the liquid resin processor 41, so that the operator can choose either the liquid resin processor 41 or the solid resin processor 42 to load resin onto the fiber filament according to actual needs.

[0030] In the solid resin processor 42, the drawing heating roller 423 is existing technology and can be electrically heated or heated by heat transfer oil. It is a product that can be purchased in the prior art. In order to prevent the resin from dripping from both ends of the heating plate 422, baffles can be provided at both ends of the heating plate 422. The solid resin is placed on the heating mesh 421. The heating of the heating mesh 421 causes the solid resin to drip onto the resin receiving cavity. The drawing heating roller 423 rotates away from the heating plate 422, guiding the resin to the fiber filament located between it and the support roller 425. The metering rollers 424 are spaced above the drawing heating roller 423 to facilitate the control of the resin thickness on the drawing heating roller 423.

[0031] The first oven 3 may be equipped with a first spare roller 31. Polyimide fiber filaments enter the first oven 3, and the temperature can be set to 80℃. The first spare roller 31 can be installed in the oven to accelerate the condensation chemical reaction between the silane coupler and the fiber surface, thereby obtaining modified polyimide fiber filaments, which can then be sampled and tested.

[0032] The second oven 5 may also be equipped with a second spare roller 51 to control the time and tension of the fiber filaments inside.

[0033] A first spacing roller 7 may be provided between the modification treatment device 2 and the first drying oven 3 to control the thickness of the modifier on the polyimide fiber filament and to adjust the tension of the filament.

[0034] A second spacing roller 8 can be provided between the first drying oven 3 and the resin treatment device 4 to adjust the tension.

[0035] A third spacing roller 9 may be provided between the resin treatment device 4 and the second drying oven 5 to control the thickness of the resin on the polyimide fiber filament and to adjust the tension of the filament.

[0036] A fourth spacing roller 10 is provided between the second drying oven 5 and the winding roller 6 to adjust the tension.

[0037] The structures of the first spacing roller 7, the second spacing roller 8, the third spacing roller 9, and the fourth spacing roller 10 are as follows: Figure 3 As shown, this is a conventional fiber preparation equipment. The distance between the upper and lower rollers is adjusted according to the type, thickness, and process requirements of the yarn. If the distance is too large, the yarn tension may be insufficient, and if the distance is too small, the yarn may be over-compressed.

[0038] The specific process for using the rapid sample preparation equipment for testing the interfacial strength of polyimide fibers according to this invention is as follows:

[0039] A polyimide fiber filament is fixed on the yarn frame 1. The filament is fed into the first roller 22 in the second processing box 411 through the second roller 23. The first processing box 21 can be filled with modifiers such as KH550 silane coupler to modify the polyimide fiber filament. The polyimide fiber filament is immersed in the first processing box 21. The machine speed is the conventional speed of 3m / min. The thickness is controlled by the first spacing roller 7 to prevent uneven thickness from causing test errors.

[0040] The polyimide fiber filaments enter the first drying oven 3, where the temperature can be set to 80℃. The oven can be equipped with a first spare roller 31 to ensure the drying time and tension, thereby accelerating the condensation chemical reaction between the silane coupler and the fiber surface, obtaining modified polyimide fiber filaments, and taking samples for testing.

[0041] The modified polyimide fiber filaments are immersed in the second treatment chamber 411 through the impregnation roller 412 or by using the solid resin processor 42 to fully impregnate the fiber filaments with resin, which can be a two-component epoxy resin. The coating thickness is controlled by the third spacing roller 9. The fiber filaments after being combined with the resin enter the second drying oven 5, where the temperature can be set to 120°C. The drying oven can be equipped with a second spare roller 51 to ensure the drying time and tension, resulting in polyimide fiber composite filaments. These filaments are then wound up by the winding roller 6 and sampled for testing.

[0042] For any points not covered above, existing technologies shall apply.

[0043] Although specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail by way of examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the above examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them, without departing from the direction of the present invention or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
