Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SOME EMBODIMENTS

(1) The present invention will be further described in detail below.

(2) According to a plastic spraying process for a surface of a plastic furniture product of the present invention, the surface of the plastic furniture product is charged by conducting treatment on the plastic furniture product, so that subsequent plastic spraying can be successfully completed. By adding a temperature-resistant material, temperature resistance of the plastic furniture product is improved to more than 220 C. (temperature resistance of an ordinary plastic furniture product is about 150 C.). As the temperature resistance of the plastic furniture product is improved, plastic powder with higher curing temperature may be used for plastic spraying, the plastic powder may not be limited to low-temperature plastic powder (with a curing temperature below 125 C.), and a selling price of low-temperature plastic powder is higher than that of ordinary plastic powder. A plastic spraying cost can be reduced by using the plastic spraying process of the present invention.

(3) Plastic spraying is carried out on the plastic furniture product, and after the plastic powder is cured and cooled, an isolation protective layer is formed on the surface of the plastic furniture product, which improves weather resistance, aging resistance and wear resistance of the plastic furniture product, thus improving a service life of the plastic furniture product. A thickness of the isolation protective layer formed after plastic spraying may reach 80 m to 180 m, which is 2 times to 3 times of a thickness of an ordinary spray paint film, and defects such as bubbles and flow marks on the surface are avoided. In an outdoor use environment, the plastic furniture can be effectively protected. Compared with other treatment processes, the ultra-high film thickness of the isolation protective layer has a better defect concealing effect, thus reducing use requirements on the raw materials of the plastic furniture product, improving a utilization rate of the plastic raw materials, and achieving an object of cost reducing and efficiency increasing. In addition, when spraying plastic, a plurality of spray guns may be used to spray at the same time to improve spraying efficiency. A plurality of spray guns may also be used for multi-color spraying to enhance color richness of the product. During plastic spraying, a powder collecting device is arranged in a plastic powder spraying section, so that fallen powder (uncured plastic powder) can be recycled for secondary use, which can further reduce the cost and is more environmental-friendly.

(4) Conducting treatment of the plastic spraying process for the surface of the plastic furniture product according to the present invention may be achieved by two ways.

The surface of the plastic furniture product is charged by adding the conductive filler, so that the subsequent plastic spraying can be successfully completed, while the temperature resistance of the plastic furniture product is improved by adding the temperature-resistant filler. The plastic particles can be made into the plastic furniture product by injection molding, blow molding, plastic absorption, molding, rotational molding and other processes.

(7) Step 2, plastic powder spraying: sending the plastic furniture product to a spray room, and spraying the plastic powder on the surface of the plastic furniture product by a high-pressure electrostatic spray gun. As an extension, a plurality of spray rooms are provided, and the plastic furniture product passes through the plurality of spray rooms in turn. Each spray room carries out plastic spraying of plastic powders with different colors, and a plurality of spray guns may be arranged in the same spray booth to improve plastic spraying efficiency.

(8) Step 3, curing: curing in a drying tunnel, wherein a curing temperature of the plastic powder is controlled within 210 C.

(9) Step 4, cooling: cooling to room temperature to finish plastic spraying.

(10) In this example, by adding the conductive filler and the temperature-resistant filler in the granulating process, the conductive filler, the temperature-resistant filler and the raw materials can be mixed sufficiently and evenly, and conductivity uniformity of the surface of the plastic furniture product can be improved, which is beneficial for improving the plastic spraying effect.

Example 2

(11) A plastic spraying process for a surface of a plastic furniture product comprises the following steps.

(12) Step 1, conducting treatment: after a plastic furniture product is made by injection molding, coating a conductive primer on a surface of the plastic furniture product, components of the conductive primer containing a temperature-resistant accelerator.

(13) The conductive primer consists of 98% to 99% of primer and 1% to 2% of conductive liquid, and components of the primer comprise: 60 parts to 70 parts of epoxy resin, 10 parts to 15 parts of butyl acetate, 6 parts to 10 parts of xylene, 10 parts to 20 parts of chlorinated polyolefin and 1 part to 2 parts of temperature-resistant accelerator, and the temperature-resistant accelerator is a silane coupling agent; and components of the conductive liquid comprises: 40 parts to 50 parts of polyaniline, 25 parts to 35 parts of ITO and 20 parts to 30 parts of nano silver, and all the parts are parts by mass.

(14) A conductive synergist is added to the conductive primer, and components of the conductive synergist comprise 1 part to 5 parts of surfactant, 0.5 part to 2 parts of dispersant, 0.1 part to 1 part of coupling agent and 2 parts to 8 parts of plasticizer.

(15) The surfactant is polyoxyethylene ether, the dispersant is polyvinylpyrrolidone, the coupling agent is -Aminopropyltriethoxysilane, and the plasticizer is dibutyl phthalate.

(16) The conductive synergist helps to form a better interface combination between the primer and the conductive liquid, and promotes uniform distribution and improvement of conductivity. The conductive synergist is helpful to improve the conductivity and coating uniformity of plastic surface during plastic spraying, and further optimize a plastic spraying effect.

(17) Specifically, the polyoxyethylene ether is a nonionic surfactant, which can reduce an interfacial tension between the primer and the conductive liquid and promote the two to be better combined. One end of a polyoxyethylene ether molecule has a good affinity with the epoxy resin, while the other end of the polyoxyethylene ether molecule interacts with the polyaniline and nano silver particles in the conductive liquid, thus enhancing compatibility between two phases and improving uniform dispersion of the conductive liquid in the primer.

(18) The polyvinylpyrrolidone can effectively prevent agglomeration of the nano-silver particles and ITO and other conductive components in the conductive liquid. The polyvinylpyrrolidone forms a protective layer by adsorption with surfaces of nano particles, which prevents agglomeration caused by van der Waals force or electrostatic action between the particles and ensures uniform distribution of conductive components in the conductive liquid in the primer, thus improving the conductivity and consistency of the coating after plastic spraying.

(19) The -Aminopropyltriethoxysilane has active amino groups and hydrolyzable ethoxy groups. The -Aminopropyltriethoxysilane can act as a chemical bridge between the epoxy resin in the primer and the inorganic materials (such as nano silver and ITO) in the conductive liquid. Through chemical bonding, the coupling agent can enhance adhesion of an interface between organic and inorganic phases and form a stable chemical network structure, thus improving mechanical strength and adhesion of the coating after plastic spraying.

(20) The dibutyl phthalate can increase flexibility and impact resistance of the primer. The plasticizer gives the coating better flexibility by reducing interaction between molecular chains in the primer, thus improving cracking resistance and durability of the coating after plastic spraying.

(21) A preparation method of the conductive synergist comprises: adding the surfactant and the dispersant into a solvent in proportion, and stirring for 15 minutes to 30 minutes to prepare a mixed solution; gradually adding the coupling agent into the mixed solution, and keeping stirring until the coupling agent is completely dissolved; and finally adding the plasticizer and continuously stirring to ensure uniform distribution.

(22) The prepared conductive synergist is filtered by a 0.2 micron filter to remove impurities.

(23) The conductive synergist above is used as follows: the conductive synergist accounting for 0.5% to 2% of a mass of the conductive primer is added into the conductive primer, so that the primer and the conductive liquid are mixed more evenly, and interaction between the primer and the conductive liquid is enhanced, and the adhesion and the conductivity during plastic spraying are improved.

(24) Step 2, plastic powder spraying: sending the plastic furniture product to a spray room, and spraying the plastic powder on the surface of the plastic furniture product by a high-pressure electrostatic spray gun. As an extension, a plurality of spray rooms are provided, and the plastic furniture product passes through the plurality of spray rooms in turn. Each spray booth carries out plastic spraying of plastic powders with different colors, and multiple spray guns may be arranged in the same spray room to improve plastic spraying efficiency.

(25) Step 3, curing: curing in a drying tunnel, wherein a curing temperature of the plastic powder is controlled within 210 C.

(26) Step 4, cooling: cooling to room temperature to finish plastic spraying.

(27) In this example, the conductive primer is coated on the surface of the plastic furniture product, and the primer and the conductive liquid are mixed in advance to form the conductive primer, so that the conductive liquid and the primer are mixed evenly, and conductivity uniformity of the surface of the plastic furniture product can be improved, which is beneficial for improving the plastic spraying effect.
