Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This application claims priority from a Chinese patent application filed on October 20, 2022, with application number 202211286443.2, entitled "Corona-resistant mica / aramid fiber composite material for new energy vehicles and manufacturing method thereof," and from a Chinese patent application filed on October 20, 2022, with application number 202211286451.7, entitled "Corona-resistant mica / aramid fiber blended paper for new energy vehicles and manufacturing method thereof," the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0002] The present application relates to the field of insulating materials, in particular the technical field of mica composite materials, more particularly to a corona-resistant mica / aramid fiber composite material for new energy vehicles and a manufacturing method thereof. [Background technology]
[0003] The existing slot insulation paper and interphase insulation paper with high-temperature resistance grade H or above used in the motors of new energy vehicles are mostly made of pure aramid fiber paper or a composite of aramid fiber paper and polyimide film with a high-temperature resistant adhesive. A typical composite paper structure is Nomex fiber paper / PI film / Nomex fiber paper (NHN), and the composite adhesive is mostly an epoxy, polyurethane, or polyacrylate adhesive.
[0004] Pure aramid fiber paper or NHN composite paper has relatively high heat resistance and performs very well when used in the insulation structure of 400V voltage platform motors for new energy vehicles. However, for 800V voltage platform motors, due to high voltage levels, pulse width modulation peak voltages, and environmental factors, the maximum safe voltage can reach 2300V or more, which is much higher than the partial discharge inception voltage (PDIV) of existing insulating materials for conventional low-voltage motors. This increases the likelihood of partial discharges occurring during motor operation. Therefore, for automotive motors on 800V voltage platforms, the corona resistance of insulating materials must be considered.
[0005] In conventional technologies, the corona resistance life of composite paper has been extended by adding mica components to organic aramid fiber paper, or by combining epoxy, aramid fiber paper, and mica paper with polyurethane or polyacrylate adhesives. However, the mica-containing composite paper produced by these two methods generally has problems such as easy powder shedding, cracking, and layer peeling, and its corona resistance and high-temperature resistance are average, and it cannot meet the process requirements for large-scale application in the motors of new energy vehicles. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0006] To address these issues, we provide a corona-resistant mica / aramid fiber composite material for new energy vehicles and a manufacturing method for the same. This application provides modified mica and aramid fiber materials with excellent corona resistance. The modified aramid fiber and mica materials are hot-pressed or mixed together with adhesives that have high temperature resistance and low dielectric constants, such as PFA-tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoroalkoxyvinyl ether copolymer, FEP-fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer (F46, tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer), ETFE-ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer, PEEK-polyether ether ketone, and PEI-polyetherimide, to form a composite. This improves the overall density, paper insertion processability, corona resistance, partial discharge inception voltage (PDIV), and heat resistance of the composite. When used as slot-bottom insulating paper or interphase insulating paper, this material significantly improves the electrical insulation of new energy vehicle motors and significantly extends their long-term safe operating life.

[0025] The beneficial effects of the present application include, but are not limited to: 1. According to the corona-resistant mica / aramid fiber composite material for new energy vehicles of the present application, a modified aramid fiber material and a modified mica material are composited using an adhesive that has high temperature resistance and a low dielectric constant, such as PFA-tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoroalkoxyvinyl ether copolymer, FEP-fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer (F46, tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer), ETFE-ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer, PEEK-polyether ether ketone, or PEI-polyetherimide. By combining the modified mica material and the modified aramid fiber material, which have excellent corona resistance, the overall density, paper insertion processability, corona resistance, partial discharge inception voltage (PDIV), and heat resistance level of the composite material can be improved. 2. In the corona-resistant mica / aramid fiber composite material for new energy vehicles of the present application, the mica powder is limited to three types of mica powder with different particle sizes, and the proportions of each are specified. The large particle size mica powder has a perfect flake shape and plays an excellent stress transmission role, preventing the paper from breaking due to concentrated force and imparting a certain stiffness to the paper. The relatively small proportion of small particle size mica fills the spaces between the large mica flakes, imparting excellent strength properties to the paper and reducing the fracture effect between fibers, forming a "brick-and-mud" structure, which imparts excellent strength properties to the paper. Among them, the flake structure of the two types of mica powder with large particle diameters acts as "bricks" and provides more adhesion carriers for the fibrids. In addition, the two types of mica powder with large particle diameters are regularly arranged, which also gives the paper relatively good flatness. The diameter-to-thickness ratio is also large, which gives the flakes a high insulating effect in the Z direction and a high current-blocking effect, delaying the formation of current channels and effectively delaying the spread of arcs, reducing carbonization damage to fibers, reducing the size and area of insulation breakdown points, and improving corona resistance. 3. In the corona-resistant mica / aramid fiber composite material for new energy vehicles, the mica material is modified with a combination of a silane coupling agent and a polymer monomer, and hydroxyl groups are introduced onto the surface of the mica powder. Silane coupling agent A171 is used to introduce double bonds onto the powder surface. Then, monomers and initiators are added to the mica powder solution to carry out a polymerization reaction, copolymerizing the vinyl groups on the mica powder surface with the monomers and grafting the polymer onto the surface, thereby improving the dispersibility of the mica powder in the slurry and ultimately improving the interfacial bonding between the mica powder and the modified aramid fiber material. 4. In the corona-resistant mica / aramid fiber composite material for new energy vehicles of this application, the grafting rate of the mica powder to the surface is improved by limiting the ratio of the silane coupling agent to the mica powder, and the polymer coverage rate is improved by limiting the ratio of the mica powder, monomer, and initiator. 5. In the corona-resistant mica / aramid fiber composite material for new energy vehicles of the present application, meta-aramid chopped fibers and meta-aramid fibrids are used, and their length and ratio are limited. The chopped fibers have a rod-like structure, while the fibrids are a light and thin film. Within this ratio range, the fibrids adhere to the rod-like chopped fibers, and the chopped fibers form a scaffold that serves as the main support for the fibrids, and when subjected to external forces, they play a role in transmitting stress. In addition, the network structure in which the chopped fibers are entangled gives the composite material high density, excellent corona resistance, and a long service life. 6. According to the corona-resistant mica / aramid fiber composite material for new energy vehicles of the present application, by ultrasonically modifying the mixed aramid fibers, the degree of fiberization on the surface of the aramid fibers can be increased, and the surface active groups and surface energy can be increased. This can improve the dispersion of the aramid chopped fibers and also improve the specific surface area and surface roughness of the aramid fibers. This can increase the entanglement force between the chopped fibers and fibrids, fibrillate the aramid fibers, and strengthen the mechanical interlocking action at the fiber interfaces, thereby improving the mechanical properties and high temperature resistance of the composite material. 7. According to the first manufacturing method of the corona-resistant mica / aramid fiber composite material for new energy vehicles of the present application, the chopped fibers and fibrids are sufficiently softened and bonded through high-temperature hot-press molding, in which the hot-press temperature is limited, and the adhesive sufficiently penetrates into the pores of the modified aramid fiber paper and the modified mica paper to form a dense composite material overall, thereby improving the tensile strength of the composite material and providing good electrical properties. According to the second manufacturing method of the corona-resistant mica / aramid fiber blended paper for new energy vehicles of the present application, wet papermaking and high-temperature hot-press molding are adopted, and the hot-press temperature is limited, so that the adhesive melts and softens, allowing it to fully penetrate into the gaps between the chopped fibers and fibrids and bond them to form a dense whole, thereby improving the strength of the blended paper, avoiding problems such as delamination and powder loss, and improving the paper insertion processability and electrical properties.

A cylindrical electrode system with a diameter of 25 mm and a diameter of 75 mm was used. Five tests were conducted, and the average value was calculated. PDIV (Partial Discharge Inception Voltage): Tested in accordance with the national standard GB / T7354-2018. AC voltage frequency: 50Hz, boost speed: 50V / s, discharge inception voltage point: partial discharge amount 10PC, experimental temperature: 21~25℃, humidity: 45~55%. 2. Temperature resistance experiment Experimental method: The test was carried out according to the national standard GB / T4074.7-2009, and the heat resistance level of the material was evaluated using a three-point method. 3. Tensile strength Experimental method: Measurements were performed according to national standards GB / T20629.2-2013 and GB / T5591.2-2017. 4. Square wave corona resistance life Test method: Tests were conducted in accordance with the T / CEEIA415-2019 standard. Test conditions: peak-to-peak voltage Vp-p = 3000V, temperature 155±3°C, frequency = 20KHz, rising edge 100±10ns, duty cycle 50%. The composite materials A1# to A4# and the comparative composite materials A1# to A12# were sampled and subjected to the four experimental tests described above. The experimental results are shown in Table 1. [Table 1]
[0047] From the above experimental data, it can be seen that the composite materials A1# to 4# manufactured using the raw materials and methods defined in this application have excellent electrical properties, long square wave corona resistance life, excellent high temperature resistance, and excellent mechanical properties.
[0048] In comparative composite material A1#, a common commercially available adhesive was used, resulting in average electrical properties and high temperature resistance. In comparative composite material A2#, the aramid fibers were not modified, resulting in average electrical properties. Analysis showed that this was because the aramid fibers were relatively inert and had relatively poor interfacial bonding with other matrix materials.
[0049] In composite material A3#, the particle size of the mica powder is smaller than the range limited in this application, and as a result, the electrical properties are normal and the breakdown voltage is low. Analysis showed that the reason for this is that mica with a small particle size generates more mica fragments, most of which are added to the paper as "silt" components. The irregular arrangement loosens the paper structure, increases its thickness, damages the mixed structure of the paper, and reduces the mechanical properties of the paper. In addition, the pores in the paper increase, and when an external voltage is applied to the paper, the high insulating barrier of the large mica fragments in the Z direction is reduced, making it more likely that the paper will be broken down by the electron beam.
[0050] In composite material A4#, the proportion of small and medium particle size mica powder exceeds the range limited by this application, resulting in average electrical properties. Analysis showed that as the amount of relatively small particle size mica increases, the integrity of the mica flakes is destroyed, the size of the vertical structure increases, and the number of fine particles gradually increases and accumulates. The arrangement of the mica sheets also changes from flat to oblique, resulting in a deterioration of mechanical properties. In addition, due to the destruction of the mica flake structure, the large proportion of small particle size mica appears granular. The accumulation of particles creates numerous pores, limiting the insulating effect of the mica. When the paper is subjected to electrical breakdown, the resistance to current becomes lower and the current channel becomes shorter, thereby reducing the insulating properties of the entire paper.
[0051] In the comparative composite material A5#, the ratio of silane coupling agent to mica powder exceeds the range limited by the present application, and as a result, the electrical properties are ordinary. Analysis shows that the reason for this is that if too much coupling agent is used, the coupling efficiency will decrease due to the condensation reaction, resulting in a low grafting rate and poor modification effect; if too little coupling agent is used, the amount of coupling agent grafted to the surface will also be small.
[0052] In the comparative composite material A6#, only a silane coupling agent was used to modify the mica powder, and as a result, the electrical properties were ordinary. Analysis revealed that this was because the dispersibility was limited even after modification, and the interfacial bonding with other materials was not strong.
[0053] In the comparative composite material A7#, para-aramid fibrids are used, and as a result, the mechanical properties are relatively good, but the electrical properties are average. Analysis revealed that the reason for this is that while the para molecular structure exhibits excellent mechanical properties, the electrical properties are inferior to those of the meta structure, and the fibrids have poor coating properties for chopped fibers.
[0054] In the comparative composite material A8#, the length of the fibers used exceeds the range limited in this application, and as a result, the electrical properties are ordinary. Analysis shows that the reason is that as the fibers become longer, the possibility of entanglement between the fibers increases, making the fibers less likely to be dispersed, resulting in greater unevenness in the hot-pressed composite paper and further affecting the strength of the entire paper.
[0055] In the comparative composite material A9#, the ratio of fibrids to chopped fibers used is smaller than the range limited in this application, and as a result, the electrical properties are ordinary. Analysis has shown that this is because the chopped fibers are inserted into the paper structure, making it easier for pores to form in the paper, and when the ratio of fibrids is small, the adhesive effect with the chopped fibers is poor, making it difficult to demonstrate its electrical and thermal properties.
[0056] In the comparative composite material A10#, the hot press molding temperature is higher than the range limited in this application, and as a result, the electrical properties are average. Analysis shows that the reason is that when the temperature is too high, the raw materials age and the adhesive strength between the aramid fiber and the fibrids decreases. Comparative composite materials A11# to A12# are general commercially available composite materials A, and have average high temperature resistance and short corona resistance life.

[0073] Comparative Example B12: Meta-aramid fiber paper Comparative Example B12 is a commercially available pure meta-aramid fiber paper having a thickness of 0.25 mm.
[0074] Experimental example 1. Electrical characteristics Breakdown voltage: The test was conducted in accordance with the national standard GB / T1408.12006. The sample thickness was 0.25 mm. A cylindrical electrode system with a diameter of 25 mm and a diameter of 75 mm was used. Five tests were conducted, and the average value was calculated. PDIV (Partial Discharge Inception Voltage): Tested in accordance with the national standard GB / T7354-2018. AC voltage frequency: 50Hz, boost speed: 50V / s, discharge inception voltage point: partial discharge amount 10PC, experimental temperature: 21~25℃, humidity: 45~55%. 2.

Corona-resistant life Test method: Tests were conducted in accordance with the T / CEEIA415-2019 standard. Test conditions: peak-to-peak voltage Vp-p = 3000V, temperature 155±3°C, frequency = 20KHz, rising edge 100±10ns, duty cycle 50%. The composite materials B1# to B4#, comparative composite materials B1# to B11#, and meta-aramid fiber paper were sampled and the four experimental tests described above were carried out. The experimental results are shown in Table 2. [Table 2]
[0075] From the above experimental data, it was found that the mixed papers 1# to 4# manufactured using the raw materials and methods specified in this application have excellent electrical properties, long square wave corona resistance life, excellent high temperature resistance, and excellent mechanical properties.
[0076] In comparative mixed paper 1#, a common commercially available adhesive was used, and as a result, the electrical properties and high temperature resistance were common. In comparative mixed paper 2#, the aramid fiber was not modified, and as a result, the electrical properties were common. Analysis showed that this was because the aramid fiber was relatively inert and had relatively poor interfacial bonding action with other matrix materials.
[0077] In comparative blended paper 3#, the ratio of modified aramid fiber to modified mica powder exceeds the range limited by this application, and as a result, the electrical properties are ordinary. Analysis shows that the reason for this is that the bonding state between aramid fiber and mica becomes saturated, and excess fiber accumulates in the gaps between the mica flakes or on the surface of the flakes, which increases the thickness of the paper and makes the electric field distribution within the paper structure uneven. This generates a large amount of heat that cannot be dissipated, and reduces the strength of the dielectric breakdown field.
[0078] In comparative mixed paper 4#, the particle size of the mica powder was smaller than the range limited by this application, and as a result, the electrical properties were average. Analysis showed that the reason for this was that mica with a small particle size produced more mica fragments, most of which were added to the paper as ``silt'' components. The irregular arrangement reduced the adhesion between the mica and the fibers, loosened the paper structure, increased the paper thickness, damaged the mixed structure of the paper, and reduced the mechanical properties of the paper. In addition, the pores in the paper increased, and when an external voltage was applied to the paper, the high insulating barrier in the Z direction of the large mica fragments was reduced, making it more likely that the paper would be subjected to electrical breakdown by the electron beam.
[0079] In the comparative blended paper 5#, the proportion of small and medium particle size mica powder exceeded the range limited by this application, resulting in average electrical properties. Analysis showed that as the amount of relatively small particle size mica increased, the integrity of the mica flakes was destroyed, the size of the vertical structure increased, and the number of fine particles gradually increased and accumulated. The arrangement of the mica sheets also changed from flat to oblique, weakening the bond between the fibers and mica and reducing the mechanical properties. In addition, due to the destruction of the mica flake structure, the large proportion of small particle size mica appeared granular. As the particles accumulated, numerous pores were generated, limiting the insulating effect of the mica. When the paper was subjected to electrical breakdown, the resistance to current became lower and the current channel became shorter, resulting in a deterioration of the insulating properties of the entire paper.
[0080] In the comparative mixed paper 6#, the ratio of silane coupling agent to mica powder exceeds the range limited by this application, and as a result, the electrical properties are ordinary. Analysis showed that the reason for this is that if too much coupling agent is used, the coupling efficiency decreases due to the condensation reaction, the grafting rate decreases, and the modification effect is poor; if too little coupling agent is used, the amount of coupling agent grafted to the surface also decreases.
[0081] In the comparative mixed paper 7#, only a silane coupling agent was used to modify the mica powder, and as a result, the electrical properties were ordinary. Analysis revealed that this was because the dispersibility was limited even after modification, and the interfacial bonding strength with other materials was not high.
[0082] In comparative mixed paper 8#, para-aramid fibrids are used, and as a result, the mechanical properties are relatively good, but the electrical properties are average. Analysis revealed that the reason for this is that while the para molecular structure exhibits excellent mechanical properties, the electrical properties are inferior to those of the meta structure, and the fibrids have poor coating properties for chopped fibers.
[0083] In the comparative blended paper 9#, the length of the fibers used exceeds the range limited by this application, and as a result, the electrical properties are ordinary. Analysis shows that the reason is that as the fibers become longer, the possibility of entanglement between the fibers increases, making the fibers less likely to disperse, which increases the unevenness of the hot-pressed composite paper and further affects the strength of the entire paper.
[0084] In comparative mixed paper 10#, the ratio of fibrids to chopped fibers used is smaller than the range limited in this application, and as a result, the electrical properties are ordinary. Analysis has shown that the reason for this is that the chopped fibers have no bonding strength with the mica, and the chopped fibers are relatively thicker than the mica, so they are inserted into the paper structure, causing some damage to the bond between the fibrids and mica, making it easier for pores to form in the paper. When the ratio of fibrids is small, the chopped fibers have a poor adhesive effect with the mica, making it difficult for them to exert their electrical and thermal properties.
[0085] In the comparative mixed paper 11#, the hot press molding temperature was higher than the range limited in this application, and as a result, the electrical properties were average. Analysis showed that the reason was that if the temperature was too high, the raw materials would age and the adhesive strength between the aramid fibers, fibrids, and mica would decrease. The meta-aramid fiber paper of comparative example B12 did not contain mica components, and as a result, the electrical properties and high temperature resistance were average, but the mechanical properties were relatively good.
[0086] The above description is merely an example of the present application, and the scope of protection of the present application is not limited by these specific examples, but is determined by the scope of the claims of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and changes to the present application. Any changes, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the technical idea and principle of the present application shall be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
