Pin structure made of thermoplastic Z-pin reinforced composite and manufacturing method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a pin structure made of a thermoplastic Z-pin reinforced composite and a manufacturing method thereof. The pin structure comprises a thermoplastic composite component I, a thermoplastic composite component II and a Z-pin. The thermoplastic composite component I and the thermoplastic composite component II are connected with each other, and a hole is formed in the joint of the thermoplastic composite component I and the thermoplastic composite component II. The hole penetrates through the thermoplastic composite component I and the thermoplastic composite component II. The Z-pin is used for being planted into the hole, so that the connection strength between the thermoplastic composite component I and the thermoplastic composite component Ii is improved. The two ends of the Z-pin are in a pin shape. On the premise of not or slightly damaging fibers in the components to be connected, the thermoplastic composite component I and the thermoplastic composite component II are connected through the method of planting the Z-pin, and the two ends of the Z-pin are processed into the pin shape, so that the connection strength is effectively improved.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of composite material reinforcement, in particular to a thermoplastic Z-pin reinforced composite pin structure and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique

[0002] The use of thermoplastics as matrix materials for fiber-reinforced composites has steadily grown, especially in automotive and aerospace applications, mainly because thermoplastics are recyclable and can be processed rapidly. They have better fracture toughness than thermoset resins and can be easily joined using soldering techniques. Thermoplastics, unlike thermosets, can be stored for extended periods of time without any loss of performance.

[0003] In the automotive industry, in order to meet low-cost, high-efficiency mass production, the method of breaking parts into parts is adopted, and the production mode of "part production-connection" is proposed.

[0004] At present, ultrasonic welding is one of the best welding methods f...
