Problems solved by technology

However, if the concave radome is thermoformed with a whole piece of PMI foam plate, the foam interlayer molding process is difficult, easy to be damaged, and the rate of defective products is high, and the density and thickness of the foam after molding will change, making the wave transmission performance worse.

Abstract

A PMI (polymethacrylimide) foam sandwich aircraft radar cover comprises a concave cover body and a flange ring, wherein the concave cover body and the flange ring consist of a skin layer, a cover body adhering layer and a PMI sandwich layer. A manufacturing method of the PMI foam sandwich aircraft radar cover comprises the process steps of flange foam blank milling molding, cover body PMI foam blank block molding and skin adhering molding and curing. The product provided by the invention has the advantages of light weight, high rigidity and signal stability, and completely can meet electrical property, mechanical property and environment-resistant property test index requirements required by design. According to the PMI foam sandwich block molding process, the variable quantity of foam thickness is small after thermal molding and bending of flat foam, so the electrical property requirement of the radar cover is met to the greatest extent, and the wave transmission property becomes poor due to large variable quantity of foam density and thickness after molding by the integral molding process is effectively avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an aircraft radome and a manufacturing method thereof, in particular to a polymethacrylimide (PMI) foam interlayer radome and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] Aircraft radomes usually use single-layer thin-walled glass fiber composite materials and honeycomb sandwich glass fiber composite materials. The single-layer thin-walled glass fiber composite radome is heavy and easy to deform; the honeycomb sandwich glass fiber composite material is due to the anisotropy of the honeycomb, and the signal becomes poor when the signal is incident at a large angle. [0003] Chinese patent 201610251585.3 titled "A Preparation Method for Thin-Wall Foam Sandwich Structure Composite Radome" discloses a method for manufacturing a foam sandwich structure radome. Wherein the foam layer is processed by a whole piece of foam, which wastes more than 90% of the material, and the processing time is long and the cos...
