Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This disclosure relates to insulated wires, coils and cables including insulated wires, motors and generators equipped with the coils, and electronic and electrical equipment equipped with the coils or cables. [Background technology]

[0002] An insulated wire comprises a wire and an insulating film covering the surface of the wire. Coils obtained by winding the insulated wire, and cables obtained by protecting the surface of the insulated wire with an outer sheath, are used as components in electronic and electrical equipment, etc.

[0003] It is known that resins with excellent heat resistance, such as polyimide and polyamideimide, are used as materials to form the aforementioned insulating film. Patent Document 1 describes that insulating films made of polyimide or polyamideimide with a thickness of 40 to 65 μm have excellent insulating performance and adhesion to conductor wires.

[0004] The aforementioned insulating film is manufactured by applying an insulating paint containing a precursor of polyimide or polyamide-imide and a solvent to a conductor wire, and then firing the resulting coating. Since water is generated during sintering of the precursors of polyimide or polyamide-imide, when the insulating paint is applied thickly and fired, the vaporized water is difficult to expel to the outside, and voids and pinholes tend to occur in the insulating film. Therefore, in order to form an insulating film with a thickness of 40 to 65 μm, it is necessary to repeat the process of applying the insulating paint thinly, to a thickness of about 1 μm, and firing it about 40 to 65 times, which has been problematic in terms of environmental impact and cost.

[0005] Furthermore, it is stated that NMP and DMAc should be used as solvents to dissolve polyimide and polyamide-imide precursors. However, the problem is that NMP and DMAc are substances that can have adverse effects on human health and the environment, and their use is restricted. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2018-147582 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0007] Therefore, the object of this disclosure is to provide an insulated wire having a coating that is thin yet has excellent insulating performance. Another object of this disclosure is to provide a manufacturing method that enables the production of insulated wires having a coating with excellent insulating properties while reducing environmental impact and costs. Another object of this disclosure is to provide a manufacturing method for producing insulated wires having a coating with excellent insulating properties at a firing temperature of 250°C or lower. Another object of this disclosure is to provide coils and cables including insulated wires having a thin coating that provides excellent insulating performance. Another object of this disclosure is to provide a motor or generator comprising the coil. Another object of this disclosure is to provide an electronic or electrical device comprising the coil or cable. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] As a result of diligent research to solve the above problems, the inventors have found the following: 1. The compound represented by the following formula (1) (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "compound (1)") does not generate water during sintering, and therefore, even when applied thickly and fired, it is possible to form a hardened product that does not have voids or pinholes caused by the aforementioned water. 2. The cured product of compound (1) has a lower dielectric constant and better insulating properties than polyimide or polyamideimide. Therefore, if an insulating film is formed with the cured product, it is possible to create a thinner film compared to when an insulating film is formed with polyimide or polyamideimide. 3. In addition to NMP and DMAc, Compound (1) is soluble in relatively low-boiling toluene, and safer cyclohexanone, cyclopentanone, etc., so it has excellent workability. 4. Toluene, cyclohexanone, or cyclopentanone has a boiling point lower than that of NMP and DMAc, and a large difference from the curing start temperature of Compound (1). Therefore, it can be volatilized while suppressing the curing of Compound (1). 5. When a radical polymerization initiator is used in combination, the curing start temperature of Compound (1) can be lowered (for example, lowered to a temperature of 250 °C or lower), and a cured product can be formed without special temperature-raising equipment. This disclosure has been completed based on these findings.

[0009] That is, this disclosure provides an insulated wire including a conductor wire and an insulating film covering the conductor wire, wherein the insulating film contains a cured product of a compound represented by the following formula (1).

[0020] This disclosure also provides an electronic and electrical device comprising the cable. [Effects of the Invention]

[0021] The insulated wire of this disclosure is free from voids and pinholes and has an insulating film with high insulating properties. Therefore, using the insulated wire can suppress the occurrence of short circuits, ground faults, leakage currents, etc., and is safe. The insulated wire can be used, for example, in coils and cables. Furthermore, coils containing the insulated wire can be suitably used in motors, generators, etc. Cables containing the insulated wire can be suitably used as connecting components in electronic and electrical equipment.

[0022] The insulated wires of this disclosure can be manufactured in a short process, thereby reducing manufacturing costs. Furthermore, they can also reduce environmental impact. Moreover, the insulating film of the insulated wires can maintain high insulation performance even when its thickness is reduced compared to conventional wires. Therefore, using these insulated wires can meet the demands for further miniaturization and weight reduction of electronic and electrical equipment. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0023] [Insulated wire] The insulated wire of this disclosure is an insulated wire comprising a conductor wire and an insulating film covering the conductor wire.

[0024] The insulating film contains a cured product of the compound represented by formula (1). The proportion of the cured product of the compound represented by formula (1) in the total amount of the insulating film is, for example, 50% by weight or more, preferably 60% by weight or more, more preferably 70% by weight or more, particularly preferably 80% by weight or more, most preferably 90% by weight or more, and especially preferably 95% by weight or more. The upper limit is 100% by weight. In other words, the insulating film may consist only of the cured product of the compound represented by formula (1).

[0025] Insulated wires are obtained, for example, by applying an insulating coating containing compound (1) and a solvent to the surface of a conductor wire, and then firing the resulting thin film to form an insulating film. In other words, the cured product of the compound represented by formula (1) is a sintered body of the insulating coating.

[0026] The insulating paint contains compound (1) and a solvent. The content of compound (1) in the insulating paint is, for example, 10% by weight or more, preferably 15% by weight or more, more preferably 20% by weight or more, more preferably 30% by weight or more, more preferably 50% by weight or more, even more preferably 60% by weight or more, and particularly preferably 65% ​​by weight or more, of the total amount of compound (1) and solvent (100% by weight). The upper limit of the content of compound (1) is, for example, 95% by weight, preferably 90% by weight, and particularly preferably 80% by weight. In addition to compound (1) and the solvent, the insulating paint may contain other components as needed. Other components include, for example, radical polymerization initiators. Adding a radical polymerization initiator to the insulating paint has the effect of lowering the firing temperature of the insulating paint (for example, lowering it to a temperature of 250°C or lower).

[0027] The insulating coating can be prepared by mixing compound (1) and a solvent and heating and stirring it at a temperature of, for example, 80°C or lower, preferably 40-80°C, and particularly preferably 50-70°C.

[0028] The method for applying insulating paint to a conductor wire is not particularly limited as long as a thin film of insulating paint can be formed on the surface of the conductor wire. For example, dip coating is one such method. Dip coating is a method in which the conductor wire is immersed in insulating paint to adhere the insulating paint to the surface of the conductor wire and form a thin film.

[0029] When applying the insulating coating to a conductor wire, it is preferable to maintain the temperature of the insulating coating at a temperature lower than the exothermic onset temperature of compound (1). At this temperature, the curing reaction of compound (1) does not proceed, so the coating can be applied to the conductor wire while suppressing viscosity increase, and a thin film of uniform thickness can be formed.

[0030] Furthermore, the application of the insulating coating to the conductor wire can be repeated multiple times until the desired thickness of the thin film is achieved. Compound (1) does not generate water during curing. Therefore, even if the thin film is laminated to the desired thickness and then fired, voids and pinholes caused by water will not occur. Also, firing after laminating the thin film reduces the number of firings, resulting in power saving and energy efficiency. After applying the insulating coating, it is preferable to dry the coating film between applications. Drying of the coating film can be done, for example, by heating it at a temperature above room temperature but below the exothermic onset temperature of compound (1).

[0031] The dried thin film can be fired, specifically by heating it to a temperature above the exothermic onset temperature of compound (1), thereby initiating the curing of compound (1) and forming an insulating film containing the cured compound (1).

[0032] The exothermic onset temperature of compound (1) is, for example, 220°C or higher, more particularly 230°C or higher, even more specifically 240°C or higher, and especially 250°C or higher. The upper limit of the exothermic onset temperature is, for example, 320°C. The exothermic onset temperature of compound (1) can be determined by DSC measurement (heating rate: 20°C / min, in nitrogen).

[0033] If it is required to lower the firing temperature to a temperature below the exothermic onset temperature (for example, a temperature of 250°C or lower), a radical polymerization initiator may be added to the insulating paint. The amount of radical polymerization initiator added is, for example, 0.1 to 5 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of compound (1).

[0034] Furthermore, by using an inert gas atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen atmosphere, argon atmosphere, etc.) during firing, the radical polymerization reaction can be promoted, and the firing temperature can be further reduced.

[0035] The relative permittivity at 10 GHz of the cured compound (1) obtained in this way (or an insulating film containing the cured compound (1)) is, for example, 2.70 or less, preferably 2.65 or less, and particularly preferably 2.60 or less. The lower limit of the relative permittivity is, for example, 2.20. Because the cured compound (1) has the above relative permittivity, the insulating film containing the cured compound (1) has excellent insulating properties.

[0036] Because the insulating film containing the cured compound (1) has excellent insulating properties, it can exhibit sufficient insulating function even if the insulating film is thin (for example, with a thickness of 30 μm or less). The lower limit of the insulating film thickness is, for example, 10 μm.

[0037] Furthermore, the cured compound (1) exhibits high adhesion to the conductor wire. For example, even when the insulated wire (thickness of the cured compound (1): 30 μm, conductor wire diameter: 1.0 mm) is wrapped around a mandrel (diameter: 1 mm), no cracks occur.

[0038] The 5% weight loss temperature (T) of the cured compound (1) is measured at a heating rate of 20°C / min (in nitrogen). d5 The temperature is 300°C or higher, preferably 400°C or higher, and particularly preferably 500°C or higher. 5% weight loss temperature (T d5 The upper limit of the temperature is, for example, 600°C. Therefore, the insulating film containing the cured material has excellent heat resistance, and an insulated wire equipped with such an insulating film has excellent heat resistance is solderable and versatile.

[0087] (Conducting wire) A conductor wire is a wire formed from a conductive material. Examples of such conductive materials include copper, copper alloys, aluminum, aluminum alloys, and stainless steel. Among these, copper is preferred because it provides high conductivity.

The mixture was stirred at 60°C for 1.5 hours, and the solvent solubility of compound (1-1) was evaluated. As a result, compound (1-1) was completely dissolved in all solvents. Furthermore, no precipitate formed during storage for 30 days after dissolution. In other words, it was confirmed that compound (1-1) has good solvent solubility (○).

[0109] The results are summarized in the table below. [Table 2]

[0110] Preparation Example 2 (Preparation of insulating paint) Compound (1-1) obtained in Preparation Example 1 and cyclohexanone were mixed in a ratio such that the concentration of compound (1-1) was 20% by weight, and the mixture was stirred at 60°C and 400 rpm for 1.5 to 2 hours to dissolve compound (1-1).

[0111] Preparation Example 3 (Preparation of insulating paint) Insulating paint 2 was obtained in the same manner as in preparation example 2, except that cyclopentanone was used instead of cyclohexanone.

[0112] Example 1 <Pre-treatment> The copper wire was cleaned of dust, oil, and other contaminants using an alkaline aqueous solution, then rinsed with water, chemically polished with an acidic aqueous solution, rinsed again with water, and finally, the surface of the copper was cleaned with alcohol to remove any remaining moisture.

[0113] <First immersion> In the insulating paint 1 obtained in Preparation Example 2, the pre-treated copper wire was gently immersed vertically in the paint 1, ensuring that no bubbles formed on the surface, and held for 6 to 8 seconds.

[0114] <Primary drying> The copper wire was removed from the insulating coating and dried at 150°C for 5 minutes under normal pressure.

[0115] <Second immersion> After the initial drying, the copper wire was cooled to room temperature and then immersed again in insulating paint 1 for 6-8 seconds. This formed a 30 μm thick coating on the surface of the copper wire.

[0116] <Main drying> The coated copper wire was removed from the insulating paint and dried at 150°C for 5 minutes under normal pressure.

[0117] <Firing> The coated copper wire was heated under reduced pressure at 230°C for 2 hours to burn off the coating. This resulted in an insulated wire 1 in which the surface of the copper wire was covered with an insulating film made of a cured compound (1-1).

[0119] [Evaluation of insulated wires] Insulated wires 1 and 2 obtained in the examples were subjected to visual inspection, adhesion evaluation, and insulation performance evaluation. <External observation> The surface of the insulating film was observed using a CCD camera, and it was confirmed that there were no voids or density variations in any of the films. <Adhesion Evaluation> Mandrel tests were conducted. In all cases, no cracks occurred in the bent areas, confirming excellent adhesion. <Insulation Performance Evaluation> The dielectric constant of the insulating film was measured to evaluate its insulating performance. To measure the dielectric constant, a 1.5 mm wide test specimen was prepared by cutting a molded body, and the dielectric constant was measured using the cavity resonator perturbation method (according to ASTM D2520). The measurement frequency was 10 GHz. As a result, the relative permittivity was found to be 2.60, confirming superior insulating performance compared to polyimide and polyamide-imide. For reference, the relative permittivity of polyimide is 3.34, and that of polyamide-imide is over 2.7.
