Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of polymer materials, and particularly to a composition for producing a piston seal body, a piston seal body produced from the composition, and a method for producing a piston seal body. The piston seal body can be used as a concrete piston seal body for a concrete pump device.
Background Art
[0002] A piston is an important core component of a concrete pump device (for example, a pump truck, a drag pump, and a truck-mounted pump), which plays a role in filling gaps and pushing concrete during concrete delivery. Since the delivered concrete has a hard medium, complex components, high pump pressure, and high requirements for sealing performance, the piston needs to have excellent mechanical strength and wear resistance. Currently, pistons have a short service life, frequent replacements, and high operating costs.
[0003] Existing piston seal bodies mainly include two materials, rubber materials or polyurethane materials. Rubber pistons are formed mainly of nitrile rubber by adding reinforcing agents, anti-aging agents, vulcanizing agents, etc., mixing them, and subjecting them to high-temperature compression. Patent Document 1 uses nitrile rubber as the main material for producing a piston for a concrete pump truck. Here, the main raw materials include nitrile rubber, ethyl acetate, polyisocyanate, etc., and a fiber reinforcing material is added during the production process. However, since the pump still has low strength and low hardness with a maximum hardness of 85A and a maximum tensile strength of 36 MPa, it cannot meet the market demand.
[0004] Patent Document 2 relates to a portable pump mechanism for injecting construction materials or water with a pump, and Patent Document 3 relates to the vehicle structure of a concrete pump truck; neither of these relates to a method for manufacturing piston material. Patent Document 4 relates to a method for manufacturing foamed polyurethane material, but its tensile strength is low at approximately 2 MPa, making it unsuitable for manufacturing polyurethane material for piston heads.

[0006] One of the objectives of the present invention is to provide a high-strength, self-lubricating polyurethane piston that solves the problems of existing polyurethane pistons, which have low strength and high wear resistance. By adding a specially treated filler to the polymerization system, the strength and wear resistance of the piston are improved, thereby extending its service life and reducing the frequency of replacement.

[0008] In the present invention, "prepolymer" refers to a substance formed by the prepolymerization of monomers, which can be used when it is difficult to completely polymerize monomers into a polymer in one step, or when voids and cracks should be avoided during polymer processing and molding.

In certain embodiments, the chain extender used is an amine chain extender, such as a diamine chain extender such as 3,3'-dichloro-4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane.
[0014] The present invention enhances the mechanical strength of polyurethane by adding fillers such as specially modified ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene powder and alumina powder to a polyurethane substrate, and reduces the coefficient of friction by adding molybdenum disulfide or specially treated polytetrafluoroethylene as self-lubricating particles to the inside of the piston.

[0017] In certain embodiments, the alumina powder used in the present invention has a particle size of from 3000 to 5000 mesh, for example, from 3000 to 4000 mesh or from 4000 to 5000 mesh.

[0027] The oxidation treatment in Step 1 may be carried out in a solution containing potassium permanganate and nitric acid. In certain embodiments, the solution is a mixed solution of a saturated aqueous potassium permanganate solution and an aqueous nitric acid solution (for example, a 50% to 60% aqueous nitric acid solution). In certain embodiments, the oxidation treatment includes the steps of introducing the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene powder into a solution containing potassium permanganate and nitric acid (for example, a mixed solution of a saturated aqueous potassium permanganate solution and a 50% aqueous nitric acid solution), heating (for example, heating to 80 to 90 °C) and stirring (for example, stirring for 30 to 40 minutes), then filtering it to obtain a powder, and then repeatedly washing the powder with deionized water, filtering it, and drying it in an oven.
[0028] In step 2, common silane coupling agents, such as silane coupling agent KH540, silane coupling agent KH550, silane coupling agent KH560, and silane coupling agent KH570, may be used in the silylation reaction. In a particular embodiment, the silane coupling agent used is silane coupling agent KH550. The weight of the silane coupling agent used may be 0.1% to 1% (e.g., 0.3% or 0.6%) of the weight of the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene powder.
[0029] The silylation reaction may be carried out under conditions of stirring (e.g., at a speed of 1500 to 2000 rpm) and heating (e.g., 70 to 80°C). In certain embodiments, the silylation process is carried out in a high-speed mixer.
[0030] In a particular embodiment, the silylation reaction includes the steps of introducing oxidized ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene powder into a high-speed mixer adjusted to a speed of 1500 rpm and a temperature of 70°C, and performing a coupling treatment by dropwise adding 0.3% or 0.6% by weight of the powder of the silane coupling agent KH550.
[0031] According to the present invention, the sodium naphthalene treatment may include the steps of adding polytetrafluoroethylene powder to a sodium naphthalene treatment solution in which the powder is completely immersed, stirring the solution for 10 to 15 minutes, filtering the solution, and washing it several times with tetrahydrofuran and deionized water until the odor of the sodium naphthalene treatment solution is gone. In certain embodiments, the sodium naphthalene treatment further includes placing the sodium polytetrafluoroethylene powder in an oven to dry it (for example, drying it at 100 to 110°C for 100 to 150 hours), grinding it, and dispersing it.
[0032] In the present invention, the sodium naphthalene treatment solution is a solution obtained by dissolving equimolar amounts of sodium and naphthalene in an active ether, such as tetrahydrofuran, or by complexing them therein.
[0033] In certain embodiments, the sodium naphthalene treatment solution is prepared by the following method: Under the protection of a nitrogen atmosphere, naphthalene is weighed and added to an activated ether (e.g., tetrahydrofuran). Once the naphthalene is completely dissolved, sodium is added, and the mixture is thoroughly stirred until the sodium dissolves, producing the sodium naphthalene treatment solution.
