Forming device and method for twisted variable-thickness composite material structure

Abstract

The invention belongs to a forming technology for a resin matrix composite material preform, and specifically relates to a forming device and method for a twisted variable-thickness composite materialstructure. Due to insufficient machining accuracy for a preform and a limit of a weaving process, a difference exists between the thickness of the weaved preform of a blade and a theoretical thickness of the blade, and the phenomena of secondary bonding and compaction with a molded surface, of the preform, exist in a die assembly process. The forming device for the twisted variable-thickness composite material structure comprises a base, a transversal press block and a longitudinal block, wherein the upper surface of the base is the same as the lower surface of the twisted preform, the combined lower surface of the transversal press block and the longitudinal block is the same as the upper surface of the twisted preform, and accurate deformation control over the variable-thickness preformof the blade from a planar state to a twisted state is realized, so that the deformation accuracy is remarkably increased, and the deformation process is controllable; and the problem of local extrusion or slide deformation which is brought by simultaneous compression of preforms in areas with different thicknesses, is avoided.

Problems solved by technology

Among them, the positioning method of the preform in the mold has been disclosed by the patent CN201711345855.8. However, due to the structural complexity of the composite fan blade, even if the preform and the mold are positioned before the mold is closed, due to the processing of the preform Insufficient precision, the prefabricated body and the mold surface cannot be completely fitted in place; at the same time, due to the limitation of the weaving process, the thickness of the blade weaving prefabricated body is different from the theoretical thickness of the blade, which is usually thicker than the theoretical thickness. During the process, there is a phenomenon of secondary bonding and compaction of the prefabricated body and the profile

Therefore, during the mold closing process
