Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of liquid molding of resin matrix composites, and particularly relates to an injection pipeline system for a composite material molding die and an injection method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) technology mainly works as follows: First, a preform designed is placed in the mold cavity, and then a special resin system is injected into the mold cavity by an injection device. The resin flows to expel the gas in the mold cavity and infiltrate the fibers at the same time. After heating and curing and cooling and demolding, a composite material part can be obtained. When injecting resin, the injection device applies pressure to the resin and transfers the resin to the mold cavity through the injection pipeline. Since the injection device needs to be used repeatedly, after each injection process is completed, a solvent needs to be used to clean the resin residues adhered to the device and the fixed pipeline. The steps are cumbersome and bring subsequent solvent treatment problems. In addition, if the resin injection device is in a high-temperature environment as a whole, it is difficult to measure the amount of resin used in the injection device by the measurement method at normal temperature, and it is impossible to intuitively predict the end time point of the injection process. In order to ensure the normal completion of the injection process, only the amount of resin used in the device can be increased, resulting in waste of resin.

[0003] Therefore, the inventor provides an injection pipeline system for a composite material molding die and an injection method thereof. Summary of the Invention

[0043] This injection pipeline system does not require a dedicated resin injection device during the injection stage. It uses low-cost injection pipeline consumables for single use to replace the dedicated resin injection device. After each injection process, the injection pipeline can be directly cured in the composite material curing furnace along with the furnace, which improves the injection process efficiency and reduces the usage amount of cleaning solvents.

[0053] As an alternative embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, an observation window 24 is opened on the side surface of the oven 23. Among them, the industrial camera 25 observes the resin state of the transparent section pipeline in the injection pipeline 10 through the observation window 24 of the oven 23, which can realize the real-time monitoring of the resin usage amount during the injection process in a high-temperature environment. The operator can intuitively judge the end time point of the injection process, avoiding the waste of raw materials caused by leaving a process margin for the resin.
