The invention relates to the field of
composite material forming, in particular to a tool and method for rapid vacuumizing forming of a
composite material. The tool body comprises a tool molded surface and a groove, the groove surrounds the periphery of the tool molded surface, the tool body is further provided with a communicating hole, and the communicating hole communicates with the groove; when the
composite material is formed, prepreg is laid on the molded surface of the tool, the edge of the vacuum bag is sealed and fixed to the periphery of the groove, and the space between the vacuum bag and the tool body is made to be negative pressure through the communicating hole and the groove by means of a vacuumizing device. When the prepreg is subjected to vacuum-pumping pre-compaction after being laid on the molded surface of the tool or is fed into an
autoclave to be cured and formed, a
vacuum pump can be directly connected into a vacuum-pumping reserved pipeline on the forming tool, and compared with a traditional mode that a vacuum-pumping pipeline needs to penetrate through the combination position of a vacuum bag and
sealant, the operation steps are optimized, and the production efficiency is improved. The probability of vacuum bag leakage caused by manual operation flaws is reduced, and meanwhile the production efficiency of composite material products is improved.
