Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of metal bonding technology, and more particularly to a bonding method. Background Technology

[0002] Metal bonding is widely used in manufacturing due to its simple process and uniform stress distribution at the bonded joint. Depending on the bonding object, metal bonding structures can be divided into sheet-to-sheet bonding structures and metal honeycomb sandwich bonding structures. In metal honeycomb sandwich bonding structures, expanding foam is used to fill the core cells of the honeycomb components. As the expanding foam cures and expands, it forms a raised adhesive layer on the surface of the honeycomb components. To reduce stress concentration, improve fatigue life, and ensure bonding performance, the adhesive layer needs to be sanded. However, common bonding methods do not control the thickness of the adhesive layer after sanding, which can easily result in an excessively thin adhesive layer, leading to weak bonding and reducing the bonding performance of the metal honeycomb sandwich bonding structure.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide an adhesive bonding method to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adhesive bonding method that can control the thickness difference between the adhesive layer and the honeycomb component, thereby improving the adhesive bonding performance of the bonded structure.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the following technical solution is provided:

[0006] An adhesive bonding method includes the following steps:

[0007] S1: A protective element is provided at the joint between the metal parts and the honeycomb parts;

[0008] S2: The metal part is provided with adhesive on the bonding surface, the honeycomb part is disposed on the bonding surface of the metal part, the honeycomb part and the metal part are pressed together, and the adhesive is cured and expanded to form an adhesive layer.

[0009] S3: Remove excess adhesive from the upper surface of the protective component, and adjust the thickness of the protective component according to the expected range of the required adhesive layer thickness;

[0010] S4: Using the upper surface of the protective component as a reference, polish the upper surface of the adhesive layer.

[0011] As an alternative to the above-mentioned bonding method, the protective component in step S1 includes a plurality of pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes, which are stacked sequentially along the thickness direction of the honeycomb component.

[0012] As an alternative to the above adhesive bonding method, step S3 specifically includes:

[0013] S31: Remove the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape from the top layer of the protective component;

[0014] S32: Select an appropriate quantity of the pressure-sensitive tape based on the expected range of the thickness of the adhesive layer.

[0015] As an alternative to the above adhesive bonding method, step S4 specifically includes:

[0016] S41: The grinding surface of the grinding part is simultaneously brought into contact with the upper surface of the protective part and the upper surface of the adhesive layer to achieve grinding of the adhesive layer.

[0017] As an alternative to the above adhesive bonding method, step S4 further includes:

[0018] S42: Measure the thickness of the adhesive layer after polishing using a test piece.

[0019] As an alternative to the above-mentioned bonding method, the testing component includes:

[0020] slide rail;

[0021] A support base is slidably disposed on the slide rail along a first direction;

[0022] A measuring element is disposed on the support base. The measuring element includes a detection head. When the detection head contacts the upper surface of the metal part, it is used to measure the thickness of the metal part. When the detection head contacts the upper surface of the adhesive layer, it is used to measure the sum of the thicknesses of the adhesive layer and the metal part.

[0023] As an alternative to the above-mentioned bonding method, the detection component further includes a positioning component, which is disposed on the support base. The positioning component has a positioning hole in the horizontal direction, and the detection head passes through the positioning hole to achieve positioning of the detection head.

[0024] As an alternative to the above adhesive bonding method, step S42 specifically includes:

[0025] S421: The positioning element is placed at the joint between the metal part and the honeycomb part, and the detection head passes through the positioning hole;

[0026] S422: Fix the slide rail and reset the measurement value of the measuring element to zero;

[0027] S423: The detection head is brought into contact with the upper surface of the metal part to obtain the thickness of the metal part; then the support is slid along the first direction until the detection head is brought into contact with the upper surface of the adhesive layer to obtain the sum of the thicknesses of the metal part and the adhesive layer.

[0028] S424: The thickness of the adhesive layer is obtained by subtracting the thickness of the metal part from the sum of the thicknesses of the metal part and the adhesive layer.

[0029] As an alternative to the above adhesive bonding method, step S4 further includes:

[0030] S43: If the measured value of the adhesive layer thickness is within the expected range, the polishing process of the adhesive layer ends; if the measured value of the adhesive layer thickness is not within the expected range, a suitable protective component is selected, and the adhesive layer is polished again.

[0031] As an alternative to the above adhesive bonding method, step S4 further includes:

[0032] S44: Dust generated during the polishing process of the adhesive layer is adsorbed by a vacuum device.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0034] The bonding method provided by this invention involves providing a protective element at the joint between a metal component and a honeycomb component. The metal component and the honeycomb component are then connected by an adhesive. After pressing the metal component and the honeycomb component together, the adhesive cures and expands to form an adhesive layer, thereby achieving bonding between the metal component and the honeycomb component. The protective element prevents direct contact between the overflowing adhesive and the metal component, thus avoiding damage to the upper surface of the metal component when removing the overflowing adhesive. Then, the overflowing adhesive on the upper surface of the protective element is removed, and the thickness of the protective element is adjusted according to the expected range of the required adhesive layer thickness. Finally, the upper surface of the adhesive layer is polished with the upper surface of the protective element as a reference, thereby controlling the thickness of the adhesive layer after polishing and improving the bonding performance.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0049] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides an adhesive bonding method, referencing... Figure 1 The bonding method includes the following steps:

[0050] S1: A protective element 3 is provided at the joint between the metal part 1 and the honeycomb part 2;

[0051] S2: Adhesive is provided on the bonding surface of metal part 1, honeycomb part 2 is provided on the bonding surface of metal part 1, honeycomb part 2 and metal part 1 are pressed together, and the adhesive is cured and expanded to form an adhesive layer.

[0052] S3: Remove excess adhesive from the upper surface of the protective component 3, and adjust the thickness of the protective component 3 according to the expected range of the required adhesive layer thickness.

[0053] S4: Using the upper surface of the protective component 3 as a reference, polish the upper surface of the adhesive layer.

[0054] In this embodiment, a protective element 3 is provided at the joint between the metal part 1 and the honeycomb part 2. The metal part 1 and the honeycomb part 2 are then connected by an adhesive. After the metal part 1 and the honeycomb part 2 are pressed together, the adhesive cures and expands to form an adhesive layer, thereby achieving the bonding of the metal part 1 and the honeycomb part 2. The protective element 3 prevents the overflowing adhesive from directly contacting the metal part 1, thus avoiding damage to the upper surface of the metal part 1 when the overflowing adhesive is removed. Then, the overflowing adhesive on the upper surface of the protective element 3 is removed, and the thickness of the protective element 3 is adjusted according to the expected range of the required adhesive layer thickness. Finally, the upper surface of the adhesive layer is polished with the upper surface of the protective element 3 as a reference, thereby controlling the thickness of the adhesive layer after polishing to improve the bonding performance.

[0055] Optionally, the protective element 3 in step S1 includes multiple pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes, which are stacked sequentially along the thickness direction of the honeycomb element 2. For example... Figure 2 As shown, specifically, step S3 includes:

[0056] S31: Remove the top layer of pressure-sensitive tape from protective component 3;

[0057] S32: Select the appropriate amount of pressure-sensitive tape based on the expected range of adhesive layer thickness.

[0058] The overlapping arrangement of multiple pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes transforms the removal of excess adhesive from the upper surface of the protective component 3 into the removal of the outermost layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive tape, and converts the adjustment of the thickness of the protective component 3 into the adjustment of the number of pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes, thereby simplifying step S3 and making the thickness adjustment of the protective component 3 more efficient. Optionally, several protective components 3 are provided, and adjacent protective components 3 are bonded together, avoiding overlapping between adjacent protective components 3 to ensure that the thickness of the multiple protective components 3 is the same. Optionally, the number of protective components 3 is related to the dimensions of the metal component 1 and the honeycomb component 2 in actual working conditions. The protective components 3 need to cover the upper surface of the metal component 1 around the honeycomb component 2 to prevent excess adhesive from adhering to the upper surface of the metal component 1.

[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, optionally, step S4 specifically includes step S41: simultaneously contacting the grinding surface of the grinding component with the upper surface of the protective component 3 and the upper surface of the adhesive layer to achieve grinding of the adhesive layer. The simultaneous contact of the grinding surface with the protective component 3 and the adhesive layer facilitates grinding of the adhesive layer using the upper surface of the protective component 3 as a reference, ensuring that the thickness of the ground adhesive layer is consistent with the thickness of the protective component 3, thereby controlling the thickness of the adhesive layer by controlling the thickness of the protective component 3.

[0060] Optionally, step S41 includes step S411: if the upper surface of the protective element 3 is worn, replace the protective element 3 and re-polish it. The above steps ensure that the thickness of the protective element 3 remains consistent during polishing, avoiding over-polishing of the adhesive layer and preventing the thickness of the adhesive layer after polishing from exceeding the expected range. In this embodiment, the protective element 3 is composed of multiple pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes stacked together. Therefore, the wear of the upper surface of the protective element 3 can be determined by observing whether the surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes has changed color or even broken, allowing workers to replace the protective element 3 in a timely manner and adjust the pressure applied to the polishing element. Optionally, the polishing surface of the polishing element is provided with multiple protrusions to improve polishing efficiency.

[0061] Optionally, step S4 further includes step S42: measuring the thickness of the adhesive layer after sanding using a testing component. Step S42 ensures that the thickness of the adhesive layer after sanding is within the expected range, thereby guaranteeing bonding performance.

[0062] Optionally, the testing component includes a slide rail, a support base, and a measuring component. The support base is slidably mounted on the slide rail along a first direction (i.e., the X direction in the attached figure). The measuring component is mounted on the support base and includes a testing head. When the support base slides along the first direction, the testing head of the measuring component can sequentially contact the upper surfaces of the metal part 1 and the adhesive layer. When the testing head contacts the upper surface of the metal part 1, it is used to measure the thickness of the metal part 1. When the testing head contacts the upper surface of the adhesive layer, it is used to measure the sum of the thicknesses of the adhesive layer and the metal part 1. The thickness of the adhesive layer after polishing can be obtained by subtracting the thickness of the metal part 1 from the sum of the thicknesses of the adhesive layer and the metal part 1, thereby completing the measurement of the thickness of the adhesive layer after polishing.

[0063] Optionally, the detection component further includes a positioning component, which is mounted on the support base. The positioning component has a positioning hole in the horizontal direction, through which the detection head passes to achieve positioning of the detection head. This positioning component prevents the detection head from shifting during measurement, thus improving measurement accuracy.

[0064] refer to Figure 4 Specifically, step S42 includes:

[0065] S421: Place the positioning element at the joint between the metal part 1 and the honeycomb part 2, and pass the detection head through the positioning hole;

[0066] S422: Fix the slide rail and zero the measurement value of the measuring piece;

[0067] S423: The detection head is brought into contact with the upper surface of the metal part 1 to obtain the thickness of the metal part 1; then the support seat is slid along the first direction until the detection head is brought into contact with the upper surface of the adhesive layer to obtain the sum of the thicknesses of the metal part 1 and the adhesive layer.

[0068] S424: The thickness of the adhesive layer is obtained by subtracting the thickness of the metal part 1 from the sum of the thicknesses of the metal part 1 and the adhesive layer.

[0069] The above measurement process involves zeroing the measuring piece, which not only improves the accuracy of the measurement results but also facilitates the subsequent calculation of the adhesive layer thickness, thus improving measurement efficiency.

[0070] Refer again Figure 3 Optionally, step S4 further includes step S43: if the measured value of the adhesive layer thickness is within the expected range, the sanding process of the adhesive layer ends; if the measured value of the adhesive layer thickness is not within the expected range, a suitable protective component 3 is selected, and the adhesive layer is sanded again. The above steps provide the conditions for ending the sanding process. When the adhesive layer thickness does not meet the expected range, the sanding process is repeated until the adhesive layer thickness is within the expected range.

[0071] Optionally, step S4 further includes step S44: using a vacuum device to adsorb the dust generated during the polishing process on the adhesive layer. These steps prevent powder from adhering to the metal part 1 and the honeycomb part 2, eliminating the need to clean the metal honeycomb sandwich adhesive structure obtained after polishing, simplifying the adhesive bonding process, and improving adhesive bonding efficiency.

[0072] Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, although the present invention has been described in detail through the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and may include more other equivalent embodiments without departing from the concept of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
