Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for producing a continuous strip having a strip body with a first main surface and a second main surface, wherein the first main surface and the second main surface of the strip body are connected to each other via side edges, wherein a coating is applied to the first main surface of the strip body which, in the finished state of the continuous strip, is opposite the inner side of the continuous strip, wherein the coating, in the finished state, forms the outer side of the continuous strip.
The invention further relates to a continuous belt having a belt body with a first main surface and a second main surface, wherein the first main surface and the second main surface of the belt body are connected to each other via a side edge, wherein a coating is applied to the first main surface of the belt body opposite an inner side of the continuous belt, wherein the coating forms an outer side of the continuous belt.
Background
Belts for vehicle test stands, wind tunnels and the like usually have a surface coating or layer, which can easily crack under continuous load, since bonded films are often used here. Furthermore, the known coatings do not sufficiently reflect the actual road conditions, which is disadvantageous, in particular, with regard to testing in vehicle test stands and wind tunnels.
Disclosure of Invention
The object of the invention is therefore to overcome the disadvantages of the known solutions and to provide a continuous strip, in particular for use in vehicle test stands and wind tunnels, which has a mechanically very durable cover layer which does not detach from the continuous strip even under continuous loading and at the same time reflects the real road conditions well. Furthermore, with the solution according to the invention, peeling of the cover layer can be prevented even in the case of very small bending radii of the continuous strip.
According to the invention, this object is achieved with a method of the type mentioned at the outset in that a matrix consisting of at least one base material is applied as a coating to the first main surface of the belt body, hard particles, in particular hard particles made of at least one material having a hardness, measured according to vickers hardness, of more than 500[ HV ], preferably a hardness of 1400[ HV ] to 10060[ HV ], are embedded in the matrix, and/or the hard particles have been embedded in the matrix, wherein the coating is preferably applied directly to the first main surface of the belt body.
By means of the solution according to the invention, it is possible on the one hand to realize a cover layer with an average roughness, in particular an average roughness depth and/or an average surface condition and/or structure, which corresponds to an average road cover layer, or at least one cover layer which is close to the road cover layer visually and/or in terms of slip resistance, and on the other hand to apply this cover layer directly to the surface of the belt body and to achieve very good adhesion between the cover layer and the belt body, without an adhesion promoter layer being additionally required here. In addition, the applied coating also fulfills a protective function for the belt body, in particular with regard to impact forces, impact forces and shearing forces and corrosion protection.
In terms of optimized adhesion on the surface of the strip body, it has proven particularly advantageous if the base material constituting the matrix for the hard particles is made of at least one polymer or a mixture of polymers, in particular selected from the group consisting of Polyimide (PI), polypropylene (PP), uniaxially oriented polypropylene (MOPP), biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP), Polyethylene (PE), Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPs), polyether ether ketone (PEEK), polyether ketone (PEK), Polyetherimide (PEI), Polysulfone (PSU), Polyaryletherketone (PAEK), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), polyester, polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), Polyamide (PA), Polycarbonate (PC), Cyclic Olefin Copolymer (COC), Polyoxymethylene (POM), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), Polyvinyl carbonate (PVC), ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (ETFE), Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinyl fluoride (PVF), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and/or ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene-fluorine-containing terpolymer (EFEP), preferably selected from thermoplastic polymers. The base material constituting the matrix for the hard particles may be solvent-based, and thus, for example, a hydrocarbon mixture may be used as the solvent. It is particularly advantageous if the matrix ensures sufficient flexibility compared to the strip material, as is ensured by many plastics, in particular thermoplastics. Depending on the production, the matrix can also comprise other materials, the main part of the matrix being composed of the polymer after evaporation of the solvent.
As hard particles, it may be preferred to use organic particles, in particular wheat grits, particles consisting of nut shells, rice or particles consisting of crushed cherry pits, and/or to use inorganic particles, in particular all possible dopants selected from the group consisting of corundum (Al2O3), ruby, sapphire, quartz (SiO2), topaz (Al2[ (F, OH)2| SiO4]), silicon carbide (SiC), diamond (C), Boron Nitride (BN), polymeric diamond nanorods (ADNR), ZrO2 and ZrO2, in particular the group of 8YSZ and 3YSZ, sand, TiO2, metal powders or ceramic powders and inorganic agglomerates.
In order to achieve a high mechanical load capacity of the continuous strip, the strip body can be made of metal, wherein the strip body is closed into a continuous loop, in particular by welding, before the application of the coating. The strip body of the continuous strip can here be made of sheet metal, the front edges of which are welded to one another, so that a closed loop is formed. However, the strip body can also be made of a metal sheet, the longitudinal edges of which are arranged in a spiral and have a spiral longitudinal weld seam, as is known from US 3728066A. As an alternative to using only one single metal sheet for the production of the belt body, it is also possible to use a plurality of metal sheets welded to one another. The band body can thus be composed of two or more metal sheets whose longitudinal edges and front edges are welded to one another, so that closed loops of any width and length can be produced, as is known, for example, from AT514722B 1. Alternatively, however, the continuous strip can also be made of plastic or fibrous material, for example carbon fiber.
The application of the coating to the continuous strip is simplified in that the strip body, which is closed in a continuous loop, is arranged circumferentially between two rollers before the coating is applied.
A uniform and smooth coating can be achieved in that the base material, which in the dry state is the matrix for the hard particles, is in liquid, in particular viscous, form, preferably with 102mPas to 105mPas, especially 104mPas to 105The viscous form of the dynamic viscosity of the mPas is preferably applied together with the hard particles onto the first main surface of the belt body and is distributed uniformly on the first main surface of the belt body, in particular by means of a doctor blade, preferably by means of a lath-shaped doctor blade. A completely uniform coating without joint points which could lead to peeling of the coating under continuous load can be achieved by such a variant of the invention.
The base material can preferably be applied to the belt surface together with the hard particles, for example also by spraying, rolling, painting, brushing and the like.
Preferably, the base material and the hard particles are applied to an upper run of the belt body shaped as a closed loop and are distributed uniformly thereon by means of a doctor blade, wherein the belt body continues to move in the direction of circulation during or after the distribution of the base material and the hard particles. The upper run of the continuous belt comprises an upper section of the continuous belt between the two guide rollers and an upper section lying on the guide rollers. The lower portion of the continuous belt opposite the upper return run is referred to as the lower return run.
In terms of the efficiency of the application of the coating, a variant of the invention in which the hard particles are mixed into the base material constituting the matrix for the hard particles before application onto the first main surface of the belt body has proved to be particularly advantageous.
What has proven particularly suitable for implementing the invention are hard particles having a particle size of between 0.01mm and 3mm, preferably between 0.05mm and 2mm, particularly preferably between 0.1mm and 1 mm. The values stated here represent the average of the particle sizes. According to the invention, the above-mentioned object is also achieved with a continuous belt of the type mentioned at the outset in that the coating has a matrix of at least one base material in which hard particles, in particular hard particles made of at least one material having a hardness, measured according to vickers hardness, of more than 500[ HV ], preferably a hardness of between 1400[ HV ] and 10060[ HV ], are embedded, wherein the coating is preferably applied directly to the first main surface of the belt body.
In a preferred embodiment, it is provided that the base material forming the matrix for the hard particles is made of at least one polymer or a mixture of polymers, in particular selected from the group consisting of Polyimide (PI), polypropylene (PP), uniaxially oriented polypropylene (MOPP), biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP), Polyethylene (PE), Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPs), polyether ether ketone (PEEK), polyether ketone (PEK), polyether imide (PEI), Polysulfone (PSU), Polyaryletherketone (PAEK), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), polyester, polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), Polyamide (PA), Polycarbonate (PC), Cyclic Olefin Copolymer (COC), Polyoxymethylene (POM), Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), polyvinyl carbonate (PVC), Ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (ETFE), Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinyl fluoride (PVF), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and/or ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene-fluorine-containing terpolymer (EFEP), preferably selected from thermoplastic polymers.
A variant in which the hard particles are organic particles, in particular wheat grits, particles consisting of nut shells, rice or particles consisting of crushed cherry pits, and/or are inorganic particles, in particular all possible dopants from the group consisting of corundum (Al2O3), ruby, sapphire, quartz (SiO2), topaz (Al2[ (F, OH)2| SiO4]), silicon carbide (SiC), diamond (C), Boron Nitride (BN), polymeric diamond nanorods (ADNR), ZrO2 and ZrO2, in particular the group of 8YSZ and 3YSZ, sand, TiO2, metal powders or ceramic powders and inorganic agglomerates, has proved to be particularly advantageous.
Preferably, the hard particles have a particle size of between 0.01mm and 3mm, preferably between 0.05mm and 2mm, particularly preferably between 0.1mm and 1 mm.
Furthermore, it has proven to be particularly advantageous for the surface of the coating to contain from 1 to 10000, preferably from 1 to 1000, particularly preferably from 10 to 1000, hard particles per square centimeter.
A further development of the invention which is particularly well suited for use in vehicle test stands, wind tunnels and the like provides that the coating has a slip resistance according to DIN-51130 of R13 in the dry and wet surface state.
The high mechanical load capacity of the continuous belt can be achieved in that the belt body is made of metal, in particular steel.
It has proven particularly advantageous in terms of adhesion to the belt body and achieving good simulation of road conditions if the coating has a layer thickness of between 0.1mm and 5mm, in particular between 0.5mm and 1.5 mm.
Furthermore, it has proven to be particularly advantageous for the coating to have an average roughness depth of more than 100 μm, preferably more than 300 μm, particularly preferably more than 500 μm.
An embodiment of the invention which is particularly suitable for use as a wheel drive belt in a driving test stand or a wind tunnel or the like provides that the continuous belt has a circumference of between 0.2m and 30m, in particular between 1m and 25m, and a thickness of between 0.1mm and 4mm, in particular between 0.2mm and 1.2mm, and a width of between 0.1m and 10m, in particular between 0.2m and 3.2 m.
The continuous load capacity of the coating can be significantly increased by the coating being smooth. In this variant of the invention, the coating does not have visible start and end positions (as is the case, for example, when using a film), but rather passes into itself without discontinuity positions.

The positional references used in the description, such as upper, lower, lateral, etc., also relate to the direct description and to the figures shown, and can be transferred to new positions where the position changes, if appropriate.
All statements in this specification with respect to a range of values are to be understood as including any and all subranges therein, for example, the expressions 1 to 10 are to be understood as including all subranges from the lower limit 1 to the upper limit 10, i.e. all subranges beginning with a value of the lower limit 1 or more and ending with a value of the upper limit 10 or less, for example 1 to 1.7, or 3.2 to 8.1, or 5.5 to 10.
Further, it is noted that the embodiments are described across the figures.
According to fig. 1 and 2, a continuous belt 1 according to the invention has a belt body 2 having a first main surface 3 and a second main surface 4. The first and second main surfaces 3, 4 of the belt body 2 are connected to each other via side edges 5, 6. The inner side of the continuous belt 1 may be constituted by the second main surface 4. A coating 7 is applied to the main surface 3 of the strip body 2 opposite the inner side of the continuous strip 1.
The coating 7 forms the outer side of the continuous strip 1 and has a matrix of a base material 8, in which hard particles 9 are embedded. The hard particles 9 are composed of a material which may have a hardness of more than 500[ HV ], in particular a hardness between 1400[ HV ] and 10060[ HV ], measured according to Vickers hardness. The Vickers hardness values given in this text relate to Vickers hardness tests with a test force of ≧ 49.03N, especially 49.03N. In other words, the hard particles consist of a material which preferably has a mohs hardness of more than 5, in particular between 6 and 10. In this case, alternatives to vickers hardness data are expressed in terms of mohs hardness.
According to a preferred variant of the invention, the coating 7 is applied directly on the first main surface 3 of the belt body 2. The band body 2 is advantageously made of metal, in particular steel.
The coating 7 may, for example, have a layer thickness of between 0.2mm and 2mm, in particular between 0.5mm and 1.5mm, and an average roughness depth of more than 100 μm, preferably more than 300 μm, particularly preferably more than 500 μm. Furthermore, the coating 7 can be constructed smoothly and largely homogeneously.
The continuous belt 1 may have a circumference of between 0.2m and 30m, in particular between 1m and 25m, and a thickness of between 0.1mm and 4mm, in particular between 0.2mm and 1.2mm, and a width of between 0.1m and 10m, in particular between 0.2m and 3.2 m.
The base material 8 constituting the matrix for the hard particles 9 may be formed of a polymer or a mixture of polymers. Preferably, the polymer or mixture of polymers used is selected from the group consisting of Polyimide (PI), polypropylene (PP), uniaxially oriented polypropylene (MOPP), biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP), Polyethylene (PE), Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPs), polyether ether ketone (PEEK), polyether ketone (PEK), Polyetherimide (PEI), Polysulfone (PSU), Polyaryletherketone (PAEK), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), polyester, polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), Polyamide (PA), Polycarbonate (PC), Cyclic Olefin Copolymer (COC), Polyoxymethylene (POM), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), polyvinyl carbonate (PVC), ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (ETFE), Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinyl fluoride (PVF), Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and/or ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene-fluorine-containing terpolymer (EFEP). Particularly preferably, the base material 8 consists of a thermoplastic polymer, wherein, however, in principle, also thermosetting polymers or elastomeric polymers can be used in order to realize a matrix consisting of the base material 8.
The hard particles 9 may consist of organic particles, in particular wheat grits, particles consisting of nut shells, rice or particles consisting of crushed cherry pits, and/or of inorganic particles, in particular of all possible dopants selected from the group consisting of corundum (Al2O3), ruby, sapphire, quartz (SiO2), topaz (Al2[ (F, OH)2| SiO4]), silicon carbide (SiC), diamond (C), Boron Nitride (BN), polymeric diamond nanorods (ADNR), ZrO2 and ZrO2, in particular 8YSZ and 3YSZ, sand, TiO2, metal powders or ceramic powders and inorganic agglomerates.
The hard particles 9 preferably have an average particle size of between 0.01mm and 3mm, preferably between 0.05mm and 2mm, particularly preferably between 0.1mm and 1 mm. The hard particles 9 may be present as individual particles or, as is often the case with finer particle sizes, in the form of agglomerates. The individual particles may be similar and have a regular geometric shape, for example spherical or cylindrical. But the individual particles may also have an irregular shape and no similarity. Here, for example, the production of powders by crushing and grinding, as are frequently used in ceramic particles, is to be explained. The powder thus produced has a broad particle size distribution, which is distributed in a statistical manner, wherein the d50 parameter is used as the mean value of the particle size. The average diameter d50 of such hard particles 9 is between 0.01mm and 3mm, preferably between 0.05mm and 2mm, and particularly preferably between 0.01mm and 1 mm. The surface of the coating 7 can have, for example, from 1 to 10000, preferably from 1 to 1000, particularly preferably from 10 to 1000, hard particles per square centimeter. In the dry and wet surface state, the coating 7 preferably has a slip resistance according to DIN-51130 of R13.
To produce the continuous strip 1 according to the invention, the base material 8 is applied directly to the first main surface 3 of the strip body 2 according to fig. 3. The base material 8 can be in liquid, in particular viscous, form here, preferably in the form of a liquidIs provided with 102mPas to 105mPas, especially 104mPas to 105A viscous form of dynamic viscosity of mPas is applied to the first major surface 3 of the body 2.
According to a preferred variant of the invention, the hard particles 9 are already mixed into the base material 8 before the base material 8 is applied to the belt body 2. Alternatively, however, it is possible to first apply the base material 8 to the belt body 2 and then distribute the hard particles 9 in the already applied base material 8. Thus, the hard particles 9 can be spread onto the still moist base material 8. The hard particles 9 may be distributed in a statistical manner in the matrix consisting of the base material 8.
The base material 8 and the hard particles 9 can be distributed uniformly over the first main surface 3 of the belt body 2 by means of a doctor blade 12, for example by means of a strip-shaped doctor blade.
Instead of or in addition to the use of a doctor blade, the base material 8 and the hard particles 9 can also be applied and distributed onto the surface of the belt body 2 by rolling, painting, brushing, (jet) extrusion or spraying. It is also possible to coat the belt body 2 with the base material 8 and the hard particles 9 by means of a curtain coating method.
As can also be seen from fig. 3, the belt body 2 can be closed into a continuous loop before the coating 7 is applied. If the band body 2 is made of metal, it can be closed into the loop preferably by welding, although in principle other connecting means such as riveting are also conceivable. The belt body 2, closed in a continuous loop, may be placed circumferentially between two rollers 10, 11 before the coating 7 is applied.
The base material 8 and the hard particles 9 can be applied to the upper run of the belt body 2 shaped as a closed loop and distributed uniformly on the upper run, for example by means of a doctor blade 12. During or after the distribution of the base material 8 and the hard particles 9, the belt body 2 can continue to move in the circumferential direction. After the base material 8 has dried, the hard particles 9 are firmly embedded in the base material and the coating 7 formed from the dried base material 8 and the hard particles 9 is non-releasably connected to the first main surface 3 of the body 2 of the continuous strip 1.
The coating 7 can be applied to the closed band 2 in a single track or also in a plurality of tracks. There may be uncoated gaps between the rail faces. Preferably, the band body 2 is not coated as far as the edges, so that a control of the band movement with the band edge sensor can be achieved. In the case of multiple rail faces, the rail faces may have different widths. However, the rail surfaces can also have different coatings 7 with respect to the combination of matrix and hard particles 9.
If necessary, post-treatment, for example by grinding, scraping, smoothing, polishing, leveling, texturing, can be carried out in the wet or dry state of the coating 7. In particular, when using thermoplastics as the base material 8 for the matrix, a subsequent heat treatment can be carried out after the drying of the coating 7 in order to modify the surface. Such a heat treatment may comprise the entire surface, so that the coating properties as a whole change, for example the texture, homogeneity or inherent stress of the coating 7, etc. may change. If necessary, the heat input can also be carried out only locally, in order to introduce possible local structuring, in particular in the case of thermoplastic matrices.
In particular, the following possibilities exist: the coating 7 is applied or locally repaired in a multilayer manner.
Finally, for the sake of clarity, it is pointed out that the individual elements are not illustrated to scale and/or are shown enlarged and/or reduced in part for a better understanding of the structure.
