[0026] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, "above", "below" are inclusive of the number, and the meaning of "multiple" in "one or more" is two and more than two.

[0027] The foregoing summary of the application is not intended to describe every disclosed embodiment or implementation of the present application. The following description more specifically illustrates example embodiments. Throughout this application, guidance is provided by a series of examples that can be used in various combinations. In each instance, the recitation is merely representative of a group and should not be interpreted as exhaustive.

[0028] At present, the pultruded profile 21, such as a wind power blade, usually lays release cloth on the upper and lower surfaces during the pultrusion of the profile 21, and then tears it off in the post-processing process. The following problems exist in the production using the release cloth at present: unstable release cloth to the edge margin, edge covering, wrinkles, inclusions and debonding, etc. In addition, the use and subsequent tearing of the release cloth increase the manufacturing cost of the pultruded profile 21.

[0029] In view of the above problems, the present application provides a release cloth, which can realize the recycling use of the release cloth, and the tearing process of the pressing film material is completed synchronously after the profile 21 leaves the mold, so that continuous production can be realized, the production efficiency is high, and the post-processing process of re-winding and tearing the release cloth after the wound profile 21 reaches the blade factory is effectively avoided. The technical solutions provided by the present application are described in detail below.

[0030] Release cloth

[0031] In a first aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a release cloth, which comprises a fluorine-containing material layer, the raw material of the fluorine-containing material layer comprises a fluorine-containing polymer film material, and at least one side surface of the fluorine-containing material layer has a preset surface roughness Ra.

[0032] The release cloth in the embodiment of the present application comprises a fluorine-containing material layer, wherein the raw material of the fluorine-containing material layer at least comprises a fluorine-containing polymer. The fluorine-containing polymer film material is smooth due to the presence of fluorine elements, which can ensure that the surface of the fluorine-containing material layer close to the cavity is smooth when applied to the pultrusion equipment, and can effectively reduce the resistance of the fluorine-containing material layer during the advancement of the impregnated fiber in the heated mold cavity, which is beneficial to the later release. At the same time, the fluorine-containing polymer as a film material forms the fluorine-containing material layer, so that the release cloth of the embodiment of the present application has tensile and compressive properties, which can effectively avoid the pollution of the pultruded profile caused by the falling of film material debris or the residual film material debris on the surface of the profile during the tearing process, and can solve the problems of unstable edge distance, edge covering, wrinkles, inclusions and debonding of the release cloth. At least one side surface of the fluorine-containing material layer has a predetermined surface roughness Ra, so that the surface of the pultruded profile has a predetermined surface roughness Ra.

[0033] In the embodiment of the present application, various functional fillers with high temperature resistance and tensile and compressive resistance can be added to the fluorine-containing polymer film material during the forming process, but the present application is not limited thereto.

[0034] In some embodiments, the radial tensile strength of the fluorine-containing material layer is ≥1500N, and the weft tensile strength of the fluorine-containing material layer is ≥1200N.

[0035] It should be noted that in the present application, the length direction of the release cloth during use is the radial direction, and the width direction is the weft direction. In the embodiment of the present application, the radial tensile strength of the fluorine-containing material layer is ≥1500N, and the weft tensile strength is ≥1200N. The release cloth has good compressive resistance, and after the film material passes through the heated mold with the profile, the film material needs to be separated from the already solidified profile by mechanical force. The compressive resistance of the fluorine-containing polymer film material can ensure the integrity of the film material during the separation process, which not only ensures the recycling of the release cloth, but also effectively avoids the pollution of the pultruded profile caused by the falling of release cloth debris or the residual film material debris on the surface of the profile during the tearing process, and solves the problems of unstable edge distance, edge covering, wrinkles, inclusions and debonding of the release cloth.

[0036] In the technical solution of the present application, the traditional PA66 release cloth is replaced by a recyclable fluorine-containing polymer film material. The fluorine-containing material layer can be made into a closed ring structure and fitted on the pultrusion equipment. The improved release cloth realizes recycling, and effectively avoids the increase of labor cost and release cloth cost caused by tearing the release cloth during the post-processing of the profile. Therefore, the labor, production and management costs are greatly saved.

[0037] The fluorine-containing high polymer film material used in the technical solution of the present application is torn off at the die outlet, which provides convenient conditions for the online visual monitoring system and online nondestructive testing technology in the pultrusion profile production process, fully exposes the profile to be tested in the detection system, improves the recognition of the detection system, effectively avoids the occurrence of batch waste, and greatly improves the utilization rate of raw materials.

[0038] In addition, in order to make the release cloth have good temperature resistance, the thermal deformation temperature of the fluorine-containing material layer in the embodiment of the present application is higher than 220 DEG C. In the profile production process, the fluorine-containing material layer does not deform due to high mold temperature during the advancement of the impregnated fiber in the heated mold cavity, ensuring the stability of the profile surface roughness and the recyclable ability of the release cloth.

[0039] The embodiment of the present application also provides a production method of the release cloth. A certain ratio of fluorine-containing high polymer film material is pressed into a fluorine-containing material layer with pressure resistance, heat resistance, tear resistance and rough surface by using a base film under high temperature and high pressure through a molding technology. Exemplarily, the temperature of the high temperature is 160-200 DEG C, the pressure of the high pressure is 30-50 Mpa, and the thickness of the fluorine-containing material layer is 0.8-1.5 mm. In some embodiments, the base film can provide roughness for the fluorine-containing material layer. At this time, the cavity surface of the molding die is smooth to facilitate the release of the fluorine-containing material layer. After the base film is separated from the fluorine-containing material layer, a fluorine-containing material layer with smooth one side surface and rough one side surface is obtained.

[0040] Exemplarily, the base film can be nylon PA66.

[0041] The release cloth in the embodiment of the present application can only include the fluorine-containing material layer. In some embodiments, the release cloth also includes a substrate layer, the substrate layer is located on one side surface of the fluorine-containing material layer, and the side of the fluorine-containing material layer away from the substrate layer has a preset surface roughness Ra.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present application, the release cloth also includes a substrate layer, and the substrate layer and the fluorine-containing material layer are stacked. The substrate layer can enhance the strength of the release cloth. The side of the fluorine-containing material layer away from the substrate layer has a preset surface roughness Ra, and the surface with the preset surface roughness Ra is used to contact the impregnated fiber to ensure that the surface of the pultrusion profile has a preset surface roughness Ra.

[0043] The embodiment of the present application can press a certain ratio of fluorine-containing high polymer film material into a fluorine-containing material layer with pressure resistance, heat resistance, tear resistance and rough surface by using a substrate layer under high temperature and high pressure through a molding technology. Exemplarily, the temperature of the high temperature is 160-200 DEG C, the pressure of the high pressure is 30-50 Mpa, and the thickness of the fluorine-containing material layer is 0.8-1.5 mm. In some embodiments, the cavity surface of the molding die is rough to provide roughness for the fluorine-containing material layer.

[0044] In some embodiments, the raw material of the substrate layer comprises at least one of polyamide and polyester fiber.

[0045] In some embodiments, the raw material of the fluorine-containing material layer comprises at least one of fluoroelastomer 23, fluoroelastomer 26, fluoroelastomer 246, perfluoroether rubber, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyperfluoroethylene propylene, and polytrifluorochloroethylene.

[0046] In some embodiments, the preset surface roughness Ra is in the range of Ra≥8um.

[0047] In the embodiments of the present application, the preset surface roughness Ra is in the above range, which can ensure that the surface of the pultruded profile 21 has a surface roughness Ra≥8um, so as to increase the bonding force in the blade cavity later.

[0068] The implementation of the profile 21 production line in this application is as follows:

[0069] The release cloth is formed by fluororubber 23, with a thickness of 1mm, and the radial tensile strength of the release cloth is 1580N, and the weft tensile strength is 1250N. The release cloth is cut into two identical sections according to the following dimensions: the width of the release cloth is 2-4mm smaller than the inner cross-sectional width of the forming mold 20, and the length is 3-5 times the length of the forming mold 20 in the profile 21 movement direction. The two ends of the release cloth are effectively closed to form the first annular release cloth 41 and the second annular release cloth 42.

[0070] The first annular release cloth 41 is pulled into the forming die 20 along with the impregnated fiber at the upper surface of the mold entrance. The rough surface of the first annular release cloth 41 is tightly attached to the impregnated fiber and is centrally positioned. The first annular release cloth 41 moves synchronously with the impregnated fiber through the three-zone heated cavity of the forming die 20. After leaving the die through the mold exit, the first annular release cloth 41 is separated from the solidified profile 21 by the mechanical force of the first transmission group 51. The film material on the upper surface of the profile 21 moves to the space above the forming die 20, forming a first circulation loop.

[0071] The second annular release cloth 42 is pulled into the forming die 20 along with the impregnated fiber at the lower surface of the mold entrance. The rough surface of the second annular release cloth 42 is tightly attached to the impregnated fiber and is centrally positioned. The second annular release cloth 42 moves synchronously with the impregnated fiber through the three-zone heated cavity of the forming die 20. After leaving the die through the mold exit, the second annular release cloth 42 is separated from the solidified profile 21 by the mechanical force of the second transmission group 55. The film material on the lower surface of the profile 21 moves to the space below the forming die 20, forming a second circulation loop.

[0072] By controlling the cavity thickness of the forming die 20 and the film material thickness of the first annular release cloth 41 and the second annular release cloth 42, the rough surfaces of the first annular release cloth 41 and the second annular release cloth 42 are tightly attached to the impregnated fiber and the profile 21. During the solidification and forming of the profile 21, the pressing process on the surface of the profile 21 is completed, ensuring that the roughness Ra of the surface of the profile 21 is not less than 8um.

[0073] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily think of various equivalent modifications or replacements within the technical scope disclosed by the present application, and these modifications or replacements should be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
