Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of composite stringer forming, and specifically to a composite stringer forming die and a forming method. Background Art

[0002] As a high-performance structural component, composite stringers have been widely used in fields such as aerospace and rail transit due to their excellent specific strength and specific stiffness characteristics. Such components are usually formed by a molding process using reinforcing materials such as carbon fiber and glass fiber and thermosetting resin matrices such as epoxy resin and bismaleimide. During the molding process, the prepreg ply is placed between the upper and lower dies, and the resin is melted and flowed through heating and pressing and finally cured. However, there are still several key technical problems in the hot pressing and demolding processes of the existing composite stringer forming dies, which seriously affect the forming quality and production efficiency of the parts. In the hot pressing stage, the die needs to heat the composite material to promote resin curing. During this process, when the die temperature rises to the resin melting temperature range, the incompletely cured thermosetting resin will present a low-viscosity flowing state. Due to the significant difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) between the resin and the reinforcing fiber (the resin CTE is usually 50 - 100 ppm / °C, while the axial CTE of carbon fiber is close to 0 ppm / °C), an obvious thermal mismatch effect will occur during the heating process. This effect will cause two problems: on the one hand, the lateral flow of the resin will generate shear stress between the fiber layers; on the other hand, the thermal expansion of the resin will be restricted by the fiber network, resulting in additional shear stress at the interlayer interface. Especially in the edge area of the component, due to the lack of sufficient restraint, this stress concentration effect is more significant, and it is extremely easy to cause defects such as edge fiber distortion and interlayer slip, seriously affecting the dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties of the parts. In the demolding stage, due to the inherent high brittleness of thermosetting composites, coupled with problems such as die adhesion and fiber jamming that may occur during the curing process, there are great risks in the demolding process. The existing die systems generally lack the real-time force monitoring function and cannot timely sense the abnormal force conditions during the demolding process. When local sticking or fiber jamming occurs, the jacking system will still continue to apply force, which is extremely easy to generate microcracks or cause fiber breakage inside the part. More seriously, due to the possible uneven force of the multi-jack system, this uncontrollable jacking process may also cause overall deformation or local damage of the part. These problems not only increase the scrap rate but also greatly increase the subsequent repair cost. Especially for high-value components in the aerospace field, the economic losses caused are more significant. Summary of the Invention

[0011] A composite material stringer forming die and forming method proposed by the present invention have the beneficial effects that: 1. In the present invention, the positioning pins can physically restrict the positions of the fibers in the multi-layer prepregs laid on the lower mold. The upper and lower layer fibers are aligned through the shared positioning pin holes to avoid interlayer misalignment, ensure that they maintain the designed angles, and the upper mold can pre-press the prepregs on the lower mold. The second spring can maintain the pressure on the upper mold to ensure that the pressure exerted by the upper mold on the prepregs is constant. During the low-pressure pre-pressing stage, the fiber layers are initially fixed, the resin slowly infiltrates the fibers, reducing the transverse flow shear force. The resin viscosity decreases with the temperature gradient, and the flow stress is gently released. At the same time, the positioning pins are used to position the fiber layers, thus preventing defects such as edge fiber distortion and interlayer slip.

[0012] 2. After the pre-pressing of the present invention is completed, the positioning pins are urged to retract into the inner cavity of the jacking holes, and the upper mold is pressurized by the first hydraulic cylinder and the pressing plate. Thus, the upper mold can perform full pressing on the multi-layer prepregs laid on the lower mold and heat them to cause the thermosetting resin of the multi-layer prepregs laid on the lower mold to solidify and be molded by pressing.

[0013] 3. After the composite stringer is molded by pressing in the present invention, the jacking plate drives the positioning pins to move upward. Thus, the positioning pins can be used to jack up and demold the molded composite stringer. When problems such as mold adhesion and fiber jamming exist in the molded composite stringer, the positioning pins at that place will be squeezed to move into the inner cavity of the jacking plate, thereby driving the corresponding induction blocks to move into the inner cavity of the jacking plate. The coordinates of the positioning pins are located by the cooperation between the first infrared sensor, the second infrared sensor, the first infrared receiver, and the second infrared receiver, and then manual intervention is carried out for demolding treatment.

[0014] 4. This device can effectively solve the defects of edge fiber distortion and interlayer slip caused by resin flow and differences in thermal expansion coefficients in the prior art, improve the dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties of the parts. And when laying the prepregs, the positioning pins can be urged to insert through the natural gaps of the fiber bundles or woven layers to physically restrict the positions of the fibers and ensure that they maintain the designed angles. At the same time, by real-time monitoring the demolding jacking force, abnormal stress states can be identified and adjusted in a timely manner to avoid microcracks and fractures caused by mold sticking or fiber jamming, significantly reducing the scrap rate. This mold system can achieve precise control of the hot pressing process and safety protection during the demolding process, and is especially suitable for the molding requirements of high-precision and high-performance composite stringers in fields such as aerospace, with significant economic benefits and application value.

[0022] The working principle includes the following steps: Step 1: First, lay multiple layers of prepregs, such as carbon fiber / epoxy resin, on the top of the lower mold 613, and prompt the positioning pins 67 to insert into the natural gaps of the fiber bundles or woven layers, thereby physically restricting the positions of the fibers. The upper and lower layer fibers are aligned through the holes of the common positioning pins 67 to avoid interlayer misalignment and ensure that they maintain the designed angles. After the prepreg laying is completed, start the first hydraulic cylinder 56, and use the first hydraulic cylinder 56 to push the pressing plate 515 downward. The downward movement of the pressing plate 515 uses the cooperation between the first electromagnet 514 and the second electromagnet 517 to prompt the connecting column 516 to drive the positioning plate 52 downward through the sleeve 513. The downward movement of the positioning plate 52 uses the self-gravity of the upper mold 59 to move downward. At the same time, when the positioning plate 52 moves downward, the first block 44 is used to squeeze the second block 55 to move into the inner cavity of the extrusion groove 53 and squeeze the first spring 54 to generate elastic deformation until the second block 55 and the first block 44 are separated, which can prompt the positioning plate 52 to move downward. After the bottom end of the upper mold 59 contacts the prepreg on the top of the lower mold 613, at this time, the positioning pins 67 are inserted into the inner cavity of the receiving hole 510, and the first hydraulic cylinder 56 continues to push the pressing plate 515 downward, thereby driving the positioning plate 52 downward. Since the prepreg on the top of the lower mold 613 is used to block the upper mold 59 at this time, the downward movement of the positioning plate 52 can squeeze the second spring 58 to generate elastic deformation. The elastic deformation of the second spring 58 can use the elastic force of the second spring 58 to increase the pressure applied by the upper mold 59 to the prepreg. At the same time, the elastic force of the second spring 58 is used to push the pressing piece 512 upward and squeeze the pressure sensor 511. By reading the value displayed by the pressure sensor 511, the pressure applied by the upper mold 59 to the prepreg can be reflected. Until the upper mold 59 applies an appropriate pressure value to the prepreg, turn off the first hydraulic cylinder 56 for pre-pressing the prepreg. At this time, under the elastic force of the first spring 54, the second block 55 can be pushed out of the inner cavity of the extrusion groove 53 and cooperate with the first block 44 to fix the position of the positioning plate 52. At this time, start the heating devices of the lower mold 613 and the upper mold 59 to preheat the prepreg; Step 2: During the low-pressure pre-pressing stage, initially fix the fiber layer, slowly infiltrate the resin into the fiber, reduce the transverse flow shear force, the resin viscosity decreases with the temperature gradient, and the flow stress is gently released. At the same time, use the positioning pins 67 to position the fiber layer, so as to prevent defects such as edge fiber distortion and interlayer slip. After pre-pressing and pre-heating for a period of time, start the second hydraulic cylinder 66 to drive the lifting plate 63 to move downward. When the lifting plate 63 moves downward, it can drive the positioning pins 67 to move downward until the positioning pins 67 completely move into the inner cavity of the lifting holes 614. At this time, turn off the first electromagnet 514 and the second electromagnet 517, and the magnetism of the first electromagnet 514 and the second electromagnet 517 disappears. Start the first hydraulic cylinder 56 to continue pushing the pressing plate 515 downward. Since the magnetism of the first electromagnet 514 and the second electromagnet 517 disappears at this time, when the pressing plate 515 moves downward, it will not drive the positioning plate 52 to move downward. At the same time, since the position of the positioning plate 52 is fixed, under the elastic force of the second spring 58, it can ensure that the pressure applied by the upper mold 59 to the prepreg is constant until the pressing plate 515 contacts the upper mold 59. At this time, the plugging rod 518 is inserted into the inner cavity of the storage hole 510 to block the inner cavity of the storage hole 510, and use the first hydraulic cylinder 56 to apply pressure to the pressing plate 515. Thus, the pressure of the pressing plate 515 is transmitted to the prepreg through the upper mold 59, and then heat and full pressure are applied to the prepreg; Step 3: After the thermosetting resin on the prepreg solidifies, start the lifting assembly to drive the bracket 46 to move upward. When the bracket 46 moves upward, it drives the driving rod 48 to move upward. The upward movement of the driving rod 48 cooperates with the driving groove 43 to cause the sliding plate 42 to drive the first latch 44 to move outward until the first latch 44 and the second latch 55 are separated, thereby releasing the positioning of the positioning plate 52. Under the elastic force of the second spring 58, it can push the positioning plate 52 to move upward until the second spring 58 returns to its initial state. Start the first hydraulic cylinder 56 to drive the pressing plate 515 to move upward until the connecting column 516 is inserted into the inner cavity of the sleeve 513. Start the first electromagnet 514 and the second electromagnet 517, and the first electromagnet 514 and the second electromagnet 517 attract each other magnetically. Thus, when the pressing plate 515 continues to move upward, it can drive the positioning plate 52 to move upward through the cooperation between the connecting column 516 and the sleeve 513. When the positioning plate 52 moves upward, it can drive the upper mold 59 to move upward through the fourth guide rod 57 until it returns to the initial position; Step 4. At this time, the molded composite stringer is stored at the top of the lower mold 613. Since the natural gaps between the fiber bundles and the braided layers of the composite stringer are filled with the solidified thermosetting resin, the second hydraulic cylinder 66 is then activated to push the lifting plate 63 upward. In this way, the positioning pins 67 can be driven by the lifting plate 63 to move upward out of the inner cavity of the lifting holes 614. At the same time, the cooperation between the support rod 62 and the gear 65 is used to ensure that the lifting plate 63 rises synchronously left and right, so as to ensure the synchronous movement of several positioning pins 67, preventing the size deviation caused by the inclination of the composite stringer due to asynchronous lifting, or even tearing the ply. Thus, the upward-moving positioning pins 67 are used to lift and demold the formed composite stringer stored at the top of the lower mold 613. When there are problems such as mold adhesion and fiber jamming in the composite stringer, the resistance applied by the positioning pins 67 at the corresponding points will increase. As the lifting plate 63 moves upward, it will cause the positioning pins 67 at the corresponding points not to move upward with the lifting plate 63. Therefore, compared with the lifting plate 63, the positioning pins 67 at the corresponding points move downward, stretching the third spring 68 to produce elastic deformation. The downward movement of the positioning pins 67 at the corresponding points compared with the lifting plate 63 can drive the corresponding induction blocks 69 downward. When the induction blocks 69 move to the positions of the first infrared sensor 611 and the second infrared sensor 612, the induction blocks 69 will block the light of one first infrared sensor 611 and the light of one second infrared sensor 612 respectively, resulting in the first infrared receiver 615 and the second infrared receiver 616 corresponding to them being unable to receive the infrared signal. At this time, according to the coordinates of the induction blocks 69, the positions of mold adhesion and fiber jamming in the composite stringer can be judged, and then manual intervention can be carried out for treatment.

[0023] In summary, the present device can effectively solve the defects of edge fiber distortion and interlayer slip caused by resin flow and different thermal expansion coefficients in the prior art, improve the dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties of the parts. And when laying the prepreg, the positioning pins are promoted to insert into the natural gaps between the fiber bundles or the braided layers, physically restricting the positions of the fibers to ensure that they maintain the designed angles. At the same time, by real-time monitoring of the demolding lifting force, abnormal stress states can be identified and adjusted in time, avoiding microcracks and fracture problems caused by mold sticking or fiber jamming, and greatly reducing the scrap rate. This mold system can achieve precise control of the hot pressing forming process and safety protection of the demolding process, especially suitable for the forming requirements of high-precision and high-performance composite stringers in the fields of aerospace and the like, with significant economic benefits and application values.

8. A forming method for a composite stringer, which is applied to a composite stringer forming die as described in claim 7, characterized in that, Including the following steps: Step 1: First, lay multiple layers of prepreg on the top of the lower mold (613), and insert the positioning pins (67) into the natural gaps of the fiber bundles or woven layers, thereby physically restricting the positions of the fibers. The upper and lower layers of fibers are aligned through the holes of the common positioning pins (67). After the prepreg laying is completed, start the first hydraulic cylinder (56), and use the first hydraulic cylinder (56) to push the pressing plate (515) downward. The downward movement of the pressing plate (515) uses the cooperation between the first electromagnet (514) and the second electromagnet (517) to cause the connecting column (516) to drive the positioning plate (52) downward through the sleeve (513). The downward movement of the positioning plate (52) is caused by the self-gravity of the upper mold (59) moving downward. At the same time, when the positioning plate (52) moves downward, the first block (44) is used to squeeze the second block (55) to move into the inner cavity of the extrusion groove (53) and squeeze the first spring (54) to undergo elastic deformation until the second block (55) is separated from the first block (44), which can cause the positioning plate (52) to move downward. After the bottom end of the upper mold (59) contacts the prepreg on the top of the lower mold (613), at this time, the positioning pin (67) is inserted into the inner cavity of the receiving hole (510). The first hydraulic cylinder (56) continues to push the pressing plate (515) downward, thereby driving the positioning plate (52) downward. Since the prepreg on the top of the lower mold (613) is used to block the upper mold (59) at this time, the downward movement of the positioning plate (52) can squeeze the second spring (58) to undergo elastic deformation. The elastic deformation of the second spring (58) can use the elastic force of the second spring (58) to increase the pressure exerted by the upper mold (59) on the prepreg. At the same time, the elastic force of the second spring (58) is used to push the pressing piece (512) upward and squeeze the pressure sensor (511). By reading the value displayed by the pressure sensor (511), the pressure exerted by the upper mold (59) on the prepreg can be reflected. Until the upper mold (59) exerts an appropriate pressure value on the prepreg, close the first hydraulic cylinder (56) for pre-pressing the prepreg. At this time, under the elastic force of the first spring (54), the second block (55) can be pushed out of the inner cavity of the extrusion groove (53) and cooperate with the first block (44) to fix the position of the positioning plate (52). At this time, start the heating devices of the lower mold (613) and the upper mold (59) to preheat the prepreg; Step 2: During the low-pressure preloading stage, the fiber layer is initially fixed, the resin slowly infiltrates the fiber, reducing the transverse flow shear force. The resin viscosity decreases with the temperature gradient, and the flow stress is gently released. Meanwhile, the positioning needle (67) is used to position the fiber layer. After preloading and preheating for a period of time, the second hydraulic cylinder (66) is started to drive the lifting plate (63) to move downward. When the lifting plate (63) moves downward, it can drive the positioning needle (67) to move downward until the positioning needle (67) completely moves into the inner cavity of the lifting hole (614). At this time, the first electromagnet (514) and the second electromagnet (517) are turned off, and the magnetism of the first electromagnet (514) and the second electromagnet (517) disappears. The first hydraulic cylinder (56) is started to continue pushing the pressing plate (515) downward. Since the magnetism of the first electromagnet (514) and the second electromagnet (517) disappears at this time, the downward movement of the pressing plate (515) will not drive the positioning plate (52) to move downward. At the same time, since the position of the positioning plate (52) is fixed, the pressure applied by the upper mold (59) to the prepreg can be ensured to be constant under the elastic force of the second spring (58) until the pressing plate (515) contacts the upper mold (59). At this time, the plugging rod (518) is inserted into the inner cavity of the receiving hole (510) to block the inner cavity of the receiving hole (510), and the first hydraulic cylinder (56) is used to apply pressure to the pressing plate (515). Thus, the pressure of the pressing plate (515) is transmitted to the prepreg through the upper mold (59), and then the prepreg is heated and fully pressed; Step 3: After the thermosetting resin on the prepreg solidifies, the lifting assembly is started to drive the bracket (46) to move upward. When the bracket (46) moves upward, it drives the driving rod (48) to move upward. The upward movement of the driving rod (48) cooperates with the driving groove (43) to cause the sliding plate (42) to drive the first block (44) to move outward until the first block (44) separates from the second block (55), thereby releasing the positioning of the positioning plate (52). Under the elastic force of the second spring (58), the positioning plate (52) can be pushed upward until the second spring (58) returns to its initial state. The first hydraulic cylinder (56) is started to drive the pressing plate (515) to move upward until the connecting column (516) is inserted into the inner cavity of the sleeve (513). The first electromagnet (514) and the second electromagnet (517) are started, and the magnetism of the first electromagnet (514) and the second electromagnet (517) attracts each other. Thus, when the pressing plate (515) continues to move upward, it can drive the positioning plate (52) to move upward through the cooperation between the connecting column (516) and the sleeve (513). When the positioning plate (52) moves upward, it can drive the upper mold (59) to move upward through the fourth guide rod (57) until it returns to the initial position; Step 4. At this time, the molded composite stringer is stored at the top of the lower mold (613). Since the natural gaps between the fiber bundles and the woven layers of the composite stringer are filled with solidified thermosetting resin at this time, the second hydraulic cylinder (66) is then activated to push the lifting plate (63) upward. The lifting plate (63) can be used to drive the positioning pin (67) to move upward out of the inner cavity of the lifting hole (614). At the same time, the cooperation between the support rod (62) and the gear (65) is used to ensure that the lifting plate (63) rises synchronously left and right, so as to ensure the synchronous movement of several positioning pins (67). Thus, the molded composite stringer stored at the top of the lower mold (613) is lifted and demolded by the upward-moving positioning pins (67). When there are problems of mold adhesion and fiber jamming in the composite stringer, the resistance applied by the positioning pins (67) at the corresponding points will increase. As the lifting plate (63) moves upward, it will cause the positioning pins (67) at the corresponding points not to move upward with the lifting plate (63). Thus, compared with the lifting plate (63), the positioning pins (67) at the corresponding points move downward and stretch the third spring (68) to undergo elastic deformation. The downward movement of the positioning pins (67) at the corresponding points relative to the lifting plate (63) can drive the corresponding induction blocks (69) downward. When the induction blocks (69) move to the first infrared sensor (611) and the second infrared sensor (612), the induction blocks (69) will block the light of one first infrared sensor (611) and the light of one second infrared sensor (612) respectively, resulting in the first infrared receiver (615) and the second infrared receiver (616) corresponding to them being unable to receive infrared signals. At this time, according to the coordinates of the induction blocks (69), the positions of mold adhesion and fiber jamming in the composite stringer can be judged, and then manual intervention can be carried out for treatment.
