Infrared heating carbon fiber thermoplastic polymer preimpregnation device
Technical Field
The utility model relates to a carbon fiber prepreg tape production facility especially indicates an infrared heating carbon fiber thermoplastic polymer preimpregnation device.
Background
Carbon fiber reinforced composites can be divided into two broad categories, thermoset composites and thermoplastic composites. The thermosetting carbon fiber composite material has the advantages of high specific strength, high specific modulus, good designability and the like, and is widely applied to the fields of aviation, aerospace, automobile manufacturing and the like. But the thermosetting carbon fiber composite material has long molding period, poor toughness and is not recyclable. The thermoplastic carbon fiber composite material not only has excellent comprehensive mechanical property, but also has good forming property and recyclability. Therefore, the preparation of the thermoplastic carbon fiber prepreg tape serving as a semi-finished product of a thermoplastic carbon fiber composite material product has important scientific significance and application value.
In the production process of the thermoplastic carbon fiber prepreg tape, a hot-pressing roller is often used for rolling the prepreg tape so as to achieve the purposes of fully diffusing and permeating molten resin among carbon fiber tows and discharging redundant resin to form the prepreg tape with uniform thickness, good infiltration and certain resin content. Therefore, heating and pressurizing the carbon fibers and the resin are indispensable links for preparing the thermoplastic carbon fiber prepreg tape.
At present, manufacturers capable of supplying continuous carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic prepreg tapes in batches at home and abroad mainly adopt hot melting dipping as a production process. The hot-melt impregnation technology is a preparation technology for impregnating carbon fibers after heating and melting thermoplastic resin, and carbon fiber tows pass through a molten resin glue tank, are rolled by a hot-pressing roller, and are cooled and shaped to form a carbon fiber prepreg tape.
Commonly used hot press rollers include heat transfer oil heating rollers, electric heating rollers, electromagnetic heating rollers, and the like.
The heating principle of the heat-conducting oil heating roller is to recycle heat-conducting oil and heat the surface of the pressing roller to a certain temperature under the action of heat conduction. The surface temperature of the heat conduction oil heating roller is uniformly distributed, but the heat conduction oil heating roller is generally only suitable for being used below 200 ℃, and the heat conduction oil is easy to leak, so that environmental pollution and potential safety hazards of personnel exist;
the heating principle of the electric heating roller is that a resistance wire or an electric heating rod in the roller body transfers heat to enable the roller surface to rise to a certain temperature. The electric heating has high heating speed and can heat to a higher temperature, but the surface temperature of the compression roller is influenced by the distribution of the heating rods or the resistance wires, so the uniformity is poor, and meanwhile, the heat utilization efficiency is low by utilizing heat conduction and heat transfer;
the electromagnetic heating roller is a development trend of the existing heating roller, and the principle is that alternating high-frequency high-voltage current is utilized to pass through a coil to generate an alternating magnetic field which changes at a high speed, so that alternating current is generated inside a metal pressing roller, and the pressing roller is heated by utilizing the current heat effect. The electromagnetic heating mode has the advantages of fast temperature rise, uniform temperature distribution, no problems of environmental pollution and the like, but the electromagnetic heating roller has a complex structure and higher equipment cost and maintenance cost.
In addition to hot melt impregnation techniques, powder impregnation is also one of the common techniques for producing thermoplastic carbon fiber prepreg tapes. In the powder production process, a heating furnace is generally adopted to heat and melt resin, a certain amount of thermoplastic resin particles are adsorbed on the surface of a carbon fiber tow, then the carbon fiber tow enters the heating furnace to be heated, so that the resin is completely melted, and then the carbon fiber tow is rolled by a compression roller to diffuse the resin, and finally the carbon fiber tow is cooled and shaped to form the carbon fiber prepreg tape.
Common heating furnaces include electric heating furnaces and infrared radiation heating furnaces.
The resistance wire is arranged in the electric heating furnace, the resistance wire is heated by using the heat effect of current, and the temperature in the furnace body is raised to a set temperature through the heat conduction effect. The electric heating furnace has simple structure, low equipment cost, relatively slow temperature rise speed, high energy consumption and low heat utilization rate.
The infrared radiation heating furnace heats the heated material by emitting infrared rays by using an infrared radiation heater in the furnace body. When the infrared wavelength range corresponds to the absorption wavelength of the heated material, the heated material absorbs infrared rays, which causes the resonance of molecules and atoms in the material, and generates strong vibration and rotation, thereby rapidly increasing the temperature of the heated material. The infrared heating has high heating rate, can realize the simultaneous heating inside and outside the heated material, and simultaneously has extremely high heat utilization rate because no heat transfer medium is needed. The infrared radiation heating furnace has higher equipment cost and larger electric loss.
The hot-pressing roller has a simple structure and a good hot-pressing effect, but a plurality of problems can exist when high-viscosity resin is used for impregnating carbon fibers. On one hand, the high-viscosity resin melt can generate larger shearing force when passing through the compression roller, and is very easy to damage fibers; on the other hand, when the melt viscosity is high, the resin is difficult to permeate into the carbon fiber tows under the rolling action of the hot-pressing roller, and a prepreg tape with good infiltration effect cannot be obtained.
The heating mode of the heating furnace can uniformly heat the resin, but for the thermoplastic material with a narrow processing temperature interval, such as nylon, the resin can be rapidly cooled and solidified after leaving the heating furnace area, so that the rolling effect of the compression roller is poor, and the carbon fiber prepreg tape with uniform thickness and good infiltration cannot be obtained.
