Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of composite material molding equipment and process technology. Specifically, it relates to a multi-mold simultaneous injection RTM (Recombinant Material Molding) device and method. Background Technology
[0002] As one of the core technologies for composite material molding, RTM (Reinforced Molding) involves injecting liquid resin into a closed mold containing pre-laid reinforcing materials. After impregnation and curing, an integrated component is formed. It has advantages such as high molding efficiency, high component dimensional accuracy, and stable mechanical properties, and has been widely used in military, aerospace, and high-end equipment industries.
[0003] However, existing RTM dispensing equipment and processes suffer from two major technical bottlenecks:
[0004] Limited production capacity makes it difficult to adapt to large-scale production: Most existing dispensing machines adopt a "single mold, single dispensing" design, meaning that a single machine can only supply adhesive to one mold, and production efficiency is strictly limited by the mold curing cycle (usually 30-120 minutes). Even if some machines support multiple stations, they can only achieve "alternating dispensing" rather than "synchronous dispensing," resulting in limited capacity increases per unit time, which cannot meet the mass production needs of components in the military and aerospace industries.
[0005] Low metering accuracy and poor component quality consistency: Existing glue injection volume monitoring mostly relies on a single sensor (such as a pipeline flow meter or mold electronic scale), which is easily affected by factors such as resin viscosity fluctuations (temperature changes can cause viscosity deviations of 20%-50%), equipment wear (such as aging of valve seals and pump leakage), and impurities clogging pipelines. The metering error generally exceeds ±5%. In addition, the monitoring only covers the single stage of "in-glue injection" and lacks a complete closed-loop process of "pre-glue injection calibration - in-glue injection adjustment - post-glue injection verification". This easily leads to defects such as local glue shortage, excessive glue volume, or residual air bubbles, resulting in an increased component scrap rate and making it difficult to meet the quality consistency requirements of high-end fields.
[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, the industry urgently needs an RTM dispensing solution that combines multi-mold synchronous dispensing with precise monitoring of the entire process, in order to overcome the dual limitations of production capacity and accuracy. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The core objective of this invention is to solve the problems of low production capacity and poor metering accuracy of existing RTM dispensing machines, and to provide an RTM dispensing device and method for multi-mold simultaneous dispensing to achieve the following objectives:
[0008] It enables simultaneous and independent glue injection from multiple molds, significantly improving production efficiency per unit time and adapting to the needs of large-scale production; it constructs a full-process multi-sensor cross-verification system to eliminate the measurement deviation of a single sensor, controlling the glue injection error to ≤±2% and ensuring the consistency of component quality; it has automated cleaning, data traceability and security encryption functions, reducing the cost of manual intervention and meeting the requirements of military and aerospace industries for traceability of the production process and data security.
[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a multi-mold simultaneous injection RTM dispensing device, the specific technical solution of which is as follows:
[0010] The multi-mold simultaneous injection RTM dispensing device consists of five parts: a material supply unit, a multi-mold diversion unit, a cleaning unit, a full-process monitoring unit, and a cross-validation module. These units work together to achieve the entire process of "resin pretreatment - multi-mold simultaneous injection - precise monitoring - automatic cleaning - data traceability." The specific structure and functions are as follows:
[0011] feeding unit
[0012] Components: feeding hopper, pneumatic ball valve, mixing tank with weighing sensor, vacuum degassing assembly (including vacuum pump), water temperature controller, filter; wherein, the mixing tank integrates tank body, paddle mixing system, safety valve, pressure sensor (range 0-1MPa, accuracy ±0.5% FS), capacitive level gauge and bottom weighing sensor.
[0013] Connection relationship: It is connected to the multi-mode diversion unit (2) through quick-connect coupling, hose and filter to ensure that the resin delivery process is free from pollution and impurities.
[0014] Core functions: to realize automatic resin feeding, heating, stirring and vacuum degassing; specifically, the vacuum pump (vacuum degree ≤ -0.09MPa) controls the quantitative delivery of resin from the feeding tank to the mixing tank through the on and off of the pneumatic ball valve; the water temperature controller (temperature control range 25-40℃, accuracy ±0.5℃) and the stirring system (speed 50-300r / min) work together to adjust the resin viscosity to the optimal dispensing range; the vacuum degassing component can eliminate air bubbles in the resin and avoid the formation of pore defects in the components after dispensing.
[0015] Multimode shunt unit
[0016] Components: Diverter block, N independent gear metering pumps (N≥2, expandable according to production capacity requirements), drive motor, branch flow meter (accuracy ±0.5% FS), branch pressure sensor (range 0-1MPa, accuracy ±0.5% FS), pneumatic three-way ball valve.
[0017] Connection relationship: The ball valve and PU tube are connected to the mold to be injected one by one, and each gear metering pump independently drives a branch injection circuit.
[0018] Core functions: Enables synchronous flow distribution and independent control of resin across multiple molds; the gear metering pump has a pressure adjustment range of 0.1-0.3MPa and a response time of ≤0.1s, and can dynamically adjust the injection pressure and rate according to the volume of different molds and the number of reinforcing material layers; the pneumatic three-way ball valve has the ability to switch between two positions, "injection circuit" and "circulation circuit", to meet the needs of different working conditions such as injection, pressure holding, and cleaning.
[0019] Cleaning unit
[0020] Components: alcohol tank, liquid pump (output pressure 0.2-0.4MPa), solenoid valve, annular spray head (welded to the upper part of the inside of the mixing tank, with 6-8 spray holes, hole diameter 0.5-1mm).
[0021] Connection: The outlet of the liquid pump is connected to the spray head through a pipeline.
[0022] Core function: To achieve automated cleaning of the inner wall of the mixing tank and the entire pipeline; during cleaning, alcohol is sprayed through the nozzle to cover the inner wall of the mixing tank 360°, and at the same time, the pneumatic three-way ball valve switches to the "circulation loop". The alcohol flows through the feed pipeline, filter, diverter block and branch glue injection loop and is discharged to the waste liquid tank to avoid residual resin from curing and contaminating the next glue injection.
[0023] Full-process monitoring unit
[0024] Components: Weighing sensors (weighing sensors at the bottom of the mixing tank and at the bottom of the residual adhesive collection tank), pressure sensors (pressure sensors in the mixing tank and pressure sensors in the branch injection tank), temperature sensors (monitoring the resin temperature and pipeline temperature in the mixing tank, with an accuracy of ±0.5℃), and branch flow meters.
[0025] Monitoring scope: Covering the entire glue injection stage;
[0026] Before dispensing: calibrate the initial glue volume using the weighing sensor of the mixing tank to ensure that the total glue volume meets the requirements of multi-mold dispensing;
[0027] During glue injection: Data is collected every 0.5 seconds using a branch flow meter, pressure sensor, and temperature sensor to monitor the glue injection status of each branch in real time;
[0028] After glue injection: The actual amount of glue injected is calculated by comparing the weighing sensor in the residual glue collection tank with the amount of glue remaining in the mixing tank, forming a closed-loop verification.
[0029] Core function: Provides full-process data support for the cross-validation module, enabling multi-dimensional real-time monitoring of "injection volume - pressure - temperature".
[0030] Cross-validation module
[0031] Components: electrical control cabinet, host computer (integrated adaptive weighted algorithm), industrial printer, touch screen display.
[0032] Core Function: Data Fusion Calculation: Multi-sensor data is fused through an adaptive weighting algorithm. Before glue injection, the weighing sensor of the mixing tank is assigned 100% weight. During glue injection, the flow meter is assigned 50%, the capacitive level gauge 30%, and the gear metering pump 20% weight (the weight is automatically adjusted when the fluctuation of a single sensor exceeds 5%). After glue injection, the combined calculation result of "remaining glue amount in the mixing tank + residual glue amount" is assigned 100% weight.
[0033] Deviation control and alarm: When the real-time dispensing volume deviates from the target dispensing volume by more than 3%, the multi-mold diversion unit is linked to adjust the speed of the corresponding gear metering pump, and an audible and visual alarm is triggered at the same time.
[0034] Data Management: Automatically stores full-process data (including sensor data, parameter adjustment records, and glue injection volume calculation results), supports encryption (such as AES-256 algorithm), cloud synchronization (storage period ≥ 1 year), and three-level access control (administrator-operator-visitor, dual verification of account password + USB key).
[0035] To achieve the above objectives, this invention provides a multi-mold simultaneous injection RTM glue dispensing method, the specific technical solution of which is as follows:
[0036] The multi-mold simultaneous injection RTM method includes five core steps: S1 material loading stage, S2 resin pretreatment stage, S3 multi-mold simultaneous injection stage, S4 post-injection calculation stage, and S5 cleaning stage. The specific process is as follows:
[0037] S1 feeding stage
[0038] The vacuum pump of the feeding unit is started, and the resin is quantitatively delivered from the feeding hopper to the mixing tank with a weighing sensor through the on / off control of the pneumatic ball valve. The weighing sensor of the mixing tank in the whole process monitoring unit monitors the amount of resin in real time until the initial amount of resin is reached, which is "the total target amount of resin to be injected into all molds + 5%-8% of the reserved residual amount". When the deviation of the initial amount of resin is ≤1%, the feeding is stopped.
[0039] S2 resin pretreatment stage
[0040] Turn on the water temperature controller to heat the resin in the mixing tank to 25-40℃, and control the temperature in real time using a temperature sensor (accuracy ±0.5℃); start the stirring system and adjust the speed to 50-300 r / min (dynamically adjust according to the resin viscosity to ensure no sedimentation); start the vacuum degassing component and maintain a vacuum degree ≤-0.05MPa for 10-15 minutes to eliminate air bubbles in the resin; after pretreatment, confirm that the pressure inside the tank is stable (no abnormal pressure rise / fall) using the mixing tank pressure sensor.
[0041] S3 Multi-mold Synchronous Injection Stage
[0042] Confirm that all pneumatic three-way ball valves in the multi-mold distribution unit are switched to the "glue injection circuit", and that each branch pipeline is sealed to the mold; start the drive motor to drive the gear metering pumps of each branch (initial pressure 0.1-0.3MPa), and the resin enters the distribution block after being filtered by the filter, and is then distributed to each branch glue injection circuit to inject into the corresponding mold; the flow meter, pressure sensor, and temperature sensor of the full-process monitoring unit collect data every 0.5s and transmit it to the cross-validation module.
[0043] The cross-validation module calculates the real-time glue injection volume for each branch using an adaptive weighting algorithm.
[0044] If the real-time injection volume deviates from the target injection volume of the corresponding mold by ≤3%, maintain the current injection parameters;
[0045] If the deviation is greater than 3%, the speed of the gear metering pump in that branch will be automatically adjusted (response time ≤ 0.1s) to correct the glue injection flow rate.
[0046] Anomaly handling (graded by severity):
[0047] Minor anomalies (single branch flow deviation 3%-5%, temperature fluctuation within ±1℃): Automatic parameter adjustment, no need to stop the machine;
[0048] Moderate abnormality (sudden pressure rise in a single branch > 0.05MPa, flow deviation 5%-10%): Suspend glue injection in that branch, keep other branches running, trigger an alarm and wait for manual investigation (pipeline blockage / mold glue leakage).
[0049] Severe abnormality (multiple branch deviations exceeding 10%, sudden pressure drop in mixing tank > 0.08MPa): Immediately stop all branch glue injection, shut down the vacuum degassing component and motor, conduct a comprehensive inspection of the equipment (pipeline rupture / metering pump failure), and restart after troubleshooting.
[0050] S4 Post-Injection Calculation Stage
[0051] When the real-time glue injection volume of a certain branch reaches the target glue injection volume, the gear metering pump of that branch is turned off, the pneumatic three-way ball valve is switched to "circulation loop", the remaining glue volume in the mixing tank and the residual glue volume in the residual glue collection tank are read, and the actual glue injection volume is calculated; the cross-validation module confirms that the deviation is ≤±2%: if the deviation is qualified, the cleaning stage is entered; if the deviation exceeds the tolerance, the corresponding mold component is marked as "to be re-inspected", and the cause of the deviation is analyzed (such as mold glue leakage, sensor abnormality).
[0052] S5 Cleaning Stage
[0053] Start the cleaning unit, open the solenoid valve, and the liquid pump draws alcohol from the alcohol tank (output pressure 0.2-0.4MPa), spraying it onto the inner wall of the mixing tank through the annular spray nozzle; the pneumatic three-way ball valve of the multi-mode diversion unit switches to the "circulation loop," and the alcohol flows through the feed pipeline, filter, diversion block, and branch dispensing loop before being discharged to the waste tank, circulating and spraying for 10-15 minutes; close the liquid pump and solenoid valve, and purge the pipeline with 0.1-0.2MPa compressed air for 1-2 minutes to remove residual alcohol; after cleaning, the cross-validation module automatically stores the entire dispensing process data, encrypts it, and synchronizes it to the cloud, and can print data reports via a printer; at the same time, the equipment performs self-checks (such as zeroing the mixing tank weighing sensor and testing the pipeline sealing) to ensure normal operation in the next operation.
[0054] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant advantages:
[0055] Significantly increased production capacity: Multi-mold synchronous dispensing is achieved through N independent branch dispensing circuits, increasing the unit time capacity by (N-1) times compared to single-mold equipment (e.g., when N=3, the capacity increases by 2 times), adapting to the large-scale production needs of the military and aerospace industries.
[0056] Significantly optimized glue injection accuracy: The full-process multi-sensor cross-validation + adaptive weighted algorithm controls the glue injection error to ≤±2%, which is 60% more accurate than the traditional single sensor solution (error ±5%), and greatly reduces the component scrap rate;
[0057] High automation and security: It integrates automatic feeding, automatic cleaning, and abnormal classification and handling functions, reducing manual intervention costs by more than 40%; data encryption and access control meet the stringent requirements of military and aerospace industries for production process traceability and data security.
[0058] High adaptability: The pressure and holding parameters of the gear metering pump can be set according to the mold volume and the type of reinforcing material to meet the molding requirements of composite material components of different specifications. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0063] To illustrate the technical feasibility of this invention, the implementation process is described in detail below using the specific scenario of "simultaneous injection of glue into two molds (mold A with a volume of 3L and a target injection amount of 3000g; mold B with a volume of 5L and a target injection amount of 5000g)":
[0064] 1. Equipment parameter settings
[0065] Feeding unit: vacuum pump vacuum degree -0.05MPa, water temperature controller target temperature 30℃, stirring system speed 300r / min;
[0066] Multi-mode flow splitting unit: gear metering pump initial pressure 0.1MPa, branch flow metering range 0-5L / min, pneumatic three-way ball valve initial station "circulation loop";
[0067] Full-process monitoring unit: data acquisition frequency 0.5s, residual adhesive collection tank reserved volume 1000g;
[0068] Cross-validation module: Target glue volume is 3000g + 5000g = 8000g, initial glue volume is 8000 + 8% × 8000 = 8640g, deviation threshold is 3%.
[0069] 2. Implementation Steps
[0070] (1) Feeding stage
[0071] Start the vacuum pump and control the resin to enter the mixing tank through the pneumatic ball valve. The weighing sensor of the mixing tank monitors the resin in real time. When the amount of resin reaches 8640g (deviation 0.8%≤1%), stop feeding.
[0072] (2) Resin pretreatment stage
[0073] The water temperature controller heats the water to 30℃ (temperature fluctuation ±0.5℃); the stirring system stirs at 300r / min to avoid resin sedimentation; vacuum degassing for 12min, the vacuum degree inside the tank stabilizes at -0.05MPa, and there are no residual bubbles.
[0074] (3) Multi-mold synchronous glue injection stage
[0075] The drive motor was started, and the gear metering pump supplied glue at a pressure of 0.1 MPa. After being filtered, the resin entered the distributor block. The three-way ball valve was activated to switch to the "glue injection circuit" and injected into molds A and B respectively. After 5 minutes of glue injection, the branch flow meter showed a real-time flow rate of 10 mL / s for mold A and 8.33 mL / s for mold B. The cross-validation module calculated the deviation to be ≤3%, and the parameters were maintained. After 10 minutes of glue injection, the branch pressure of mold B suddenly increased by 0.06 MPa (moderate abnormality). The system paused glue injection in mold B and triggered an audible and visual alarm. Manual inspection revealed a slight blockage in the inlet pipe of mold B. After cleaning, glue injection was restarted. After 3 minutes, the glue injection volume of mold B reached 5000g.
[0076] (4) Post-glue injection accounting stage
[0077] After the glue injection of molds A and B is completed, switch to the "circulation loop". Read the remaining glue amount in the mixing tank as 600g, the remaining glue amount in the residual glue collection tank as 40g, and the actual glue injection amount as 8640-600-40=8000g. The deviation is 0%, which is qualified.
[0078] (5) Cleaning stage
[0079] The cleaning unit is started, and the liquid pump delivers alcohol at a pressure of 0.3 MPa. The spray head covers the inner wall of the mixing tank, and the alcohol flows through the pipeline and is discharged. The spraying is repeated for 12 minutes. Compressed air at 0.15 MPa is introduced to purge the pipeline for 1.5 minutes to remove residual alcohol. The cross-validation module stores the entire process data (including sensor curves and anomaly handling records), encrypts it, and synchronizes it to the cloud to print data reports.
[0080] 3. Implementation Results
[0081] Production capacity: The total time for simultaneous glue injection of two molds is 25 minutes, which is 100% more efficient than single mold glue injection (which takes 50 minutes); Accuracy: The actual glue injection volume deviation is 0% ≤ ±2%, and the components are free of glue defects and air bubbles; Data traceability: The entire process data is encrypted and stored, and can be retrieved by administrators, meeting the quality control requirements of aerospace and other fields.
[0082] In summary, this invention, through its innovative design of "multi-mode splitting + full-process multi-sensor verification," effectively solves the problems of low capacity and poor accuracy in existing RTM dispensing equipment, demonstrating significant technological innovation and engineering practicality.
