Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a composite plate forming and processing method, in particular to a honeycomb core composite plate opening and edge sealing mold and a method thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, the reserved holes for the mooring rings on the panels of honeycomb adhesive joints with mooring rings are of different sizes and are inclined. Using the original mooring ring positioning parts will cause serious glue leakage, making it difficult to unmold. There are too many glue nodules, and the parts are easily scratched when cleaning the nodules, which in turn affects product quality. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to perform edge sealing at the openings during the manufacture of honeycomb composite panels, thereby preventing the formation of lumps at the openings. This allows for a one-step process to simplify the processing of pre-reserved holes, improving processing efficiency and quality. Furthermore, opening holes in honeycomb core panels can disrupt the continuity of the honeycombs, creating pores that require sealing.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is to provide a honeycomb core composite panel opening and edge sealing mold, wherein the honeycomb core composite panel comprises a face plate, an intermediate honeycomb core, and a back plate; the honeycomb core composite panel is provided with through holes, and the through hole openings of the face plate form inverted arc flanges;

[0005] The opening edge sealing mold includes a composite board forming press plate, a shape retaining plate, a composite board forming bottom plate, a positioning core block and a positioning seat; the composite board forming press plate, the shape retaining plate and the composite board forming bottom plate are used to clamp the face plate, the middle honeycomb core and the back plate during the composite board forming process;

[0006] The lower cross-section of the positioning seat is anti-rotational, and the upper part is a threaded rod; the positioning core block is a rotating body structure and has a central threaded through hole, which is threadedly engaged with the threaded rod; the outer surface of the positioning core block is divided into two parts, the upper part is a cylindrical surface, and the lower part is a frustum;

[0007] The shape-maintaining plate is provided with an opening corresponding to the through hole of the honeycomb core composite plate, and the composite plate forming bottom plate is provided with a blind groove corresponding to the through hole of the honeycomb core composite plate; the lower part of the positioning seat is matched with the shape of the blind groove; the positioning core block is rotated, and the lower part of the positioning seat is matched with the shape of the blind groove and cannot be rotated, so that the positioning core block is displaced axially along the threaded rod and can be tightly attached to the inverted arc flange, thereby preventing the solidified glue between the panel and the back panel from flowing out.

[0008] Furthermore, foam glue is pasted in the through holes of the honeycomb core, and after the foam glue expands, it forms a closed surface in the through holes of the composite plate, filling the gaps of the honeycomb core in the through holes of the composite plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the expansion temperature of the foaming adhesive is lower than the curing temperature of the curing adhesive.

[0010] Furthermore, the foam adhesive is pasted closer to the back panel than to the front panel.

[0011] Furthermore, the lower portion of the positioning seat is a prism.

[0012] Furthermore, the taper of the frustum is 20° to 80°, preferably 30°.

[0013] The method for sealing the opening and edge of the honeycomb core composite panel of the above-mentioned device comprises the following steps:

[0014] Step 1: Press the shape-keeping plate onto the composite plate forming base plate, rotate the positioning core block and the positioning seat through the thread, and rotate the positioning core block to fit tightly against the lower part of the positioning seat;

[0015] Step 2: Pass the positioning seat through the opening of the conformal plate and insert it into the blind groove to fix it. Apply curing glue to the face plate, honeycomb core and back plate. Press the face plate, honeycomb core and back plate onto the conformal plate in sequence, and insert the positioning core block and the positioning seat into the through holes of the face plate, honeycomb core and back plate.

[0016] Step 3: Rotate the positioning core block so that the positioning core block moves upward, and the frustum surface is tightly attached to the arc flange;

[0017] Step 4: Complete the curing according to the curing process requirements, and remove the composite board forming base plate, shape retaining plate, positioning seat and positioning core block in sequence.

[0018] Furthermore, in step 2, before the positioning core block and the positioning seat are inserted into the through holes of the face plate, the honeycomb core and the back plate, foam glue is pasted in the through holes of the honeycomb core.

[0019] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: It has a simple structure and is easy to use. It can not only seal the edges of composite material openings to prevent the formation of glue bumps, but also accommodate pre-reserved holes of varying diameters within a certain opening range, simplifying the processing process and tooling. By introducing low-temperature foaming adhesive, a double layer of protection is formed to prevent glue flow. After the foaming adhesive is foamed, a first layer of resistance is formed; the second layer of resistance is formed by the chamfered edge and the rounded table surface.
