Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing recycled vinyl chloride-based resins used in sashes face issues such as reduced strength due to impurities, peeling interfaces, defective appearances, and difficulty in recycling due to crimped metal and resin frames, as well as the presence of lead-based stabilizers leading to thermal instability and foaming.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating additives like maleic anhydride, polytetrafluoroethylene, and silane coupling agents into the recycled vinyl chloride-based resin composition, using specific engaging structures for metal and resin frames, and controlling stabilizer ratios to improve strength, appearance, and recyclability, while managing waste materials through a management system.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of repair
If a recycled vinyl chloride-based resin containing impurities is used, then resource recycling is achieved, but the strength and uniformity of the sash are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
A master batch containing maleic anhydride is introduced as an intermediary substance during extrusion molding. This maleic anhydride acts as a chemical mediator that reacts with impurities in the recycled vinyl chloride-based resin, forming strong chemical bonds that bridge the resin matrix and impurity particles, thereby preventing interface peeling and improving overall sash strength while maintaining recyclability
Solution Approach 2:
The invention creates a composite material system where the recycled vinyl chloride-based resin is combined with maleic anhydride grafted components. This composite structure allows the resin to maintain its recyclability while the maleic anhydride modification enhances the material's internal bonding and interface adhesion, resolving the strength deficit caused by impurities
2Object-affected harmful factors
If a recycled vinyl chloride-based resin is used, then environmental load reduction is achieved, but defective appearances occur due to impurities
Solution Approach 1:
The maleic anhydride in the master batch serves as a surface-modifying intermediary that chemically interacts with impurity surfaces. This modification creates a transition layer that improves the optical and surface properties of impurity-containing regions, making defects less conspicuous while maintaining the environmental benefit of using recycled material
3Stability of the object's composition
If lead-based stabilizers are used in recycled vinyl chloride-based resin, then thermal stability is improved, but foaming occurs during extrusion molding
Solution Approach 1:
The invention changes the chemical composition parameters by introducing maleic anhydride at controlled concentrations (0.1-5 wt%) into the recycled resin system. This parameter modification alters the thermal degradation behavior of the resin, providing effective stabilization during extrusion molding without triggering the foaming reactions associated with lead-based stabilizers, thus eliminating harmful gas generation while maintaining thermal stability
4Ease of manufacture
If metal frames are crimped to resin frames for easy assembly, then assembly is simplified, but disassembly for recycling becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The invention applies segmentation by introducing a separable intermediate component or structural feature that divides the metal-resin connection into distinct, separable segments. This allows the frame assembly to maintain easy snap-fit assembly during manufacturing while enabling clean separation and disassembly during recycling, with the intermediate segment facilitating both assembly and subsequent dismantling without damage
