Solution Overview

Problem

The existing rubber coating compositions for conveyor belts exhibit favorable adhesiveness but require improvement in peel force and rubber sticking, specifically between the canvas and the rubber coating.

Innovation Solution

A rubber coating composition comprising a diene-based rubber component, di-2-benzothiazolyl disulfide, silica, a cresol formaldehyde resin, and a modified etherified methylol melamine, with specific mass ratios, is used to enhance both peel force and rubber sticking, and canvas adhesiveness.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a rubber coating composition containing di-2-benzothiazolyl disulfide and resorcinol formaldehyde resin is used, then canvas adhesiveness is improved, but peel force is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecanvas adhesivenessVSAvoidpeel force
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple resin components (cresol formaldehyde resin and modified etherified methylol melamine) with rubber and silica to create a composite coating material that achieves both good canvas adhesiveness and high peel force, resolving the contradiction between adhesion and strength

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent specifies precise content ranges for each component (cresol formaldehyde resin: 1-5 parts, modified etherified methylol melamine: 1-4 parts per 100 parts diene-based rubber) to optimize the balance between adhesiveness and peel force, demonstrating parameter optimization to resolve the technical contradiction
