Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of radar radio frequency front-end processing and manufacturing, and relates to an integrated molding mold and molding method for radar full carbon fiber electronic chassis with a double T-shaped reinforced multi-box structure. It is mainly used in radar front-end components such as chassis and modules that require lightweight and high strength. Background Technology

[0002] The electronic enclosure is a key structural component of the radar radio frequency front end. It provides external mounting interfaces for various electrical components inside the enclosure and ensures that it has reliable mechanical structural rigidity, excellent impact resistance, weather resistance and other functional requirements. It is an integrated structural and functional component.

[0003] Electronic chassis have complex structures with numerous interface surfaces, mounting surfaces, and mating surfaces, making their manufacturing process challenging. Currently, there are three main methods for manufacturing electronic chassis. One method involves machining aluminum alloys using milling or casting. Another method uses engineering plastics such as PEEK through milling or injection molding. The third method uses carbon fiber skin parts and metal beams and ribs, joined by secondary adhesive bonding or mechanical connection. However, these methods have the following drawbacks:

[0004] (1) The processing method of making electronic chassis by milling or casting aluminum alloy is not suitable for processing electronic chassis with demanding requirements for lightweighting because the material is aluminum alloy, which has a high material density and results in a large weight of electronic equipment structure.

[0005] (2) When engineering plastics are milled or injection molded into electronic enclosures, the rigidity of the engineering plastics is generally low and the load-bearing capacity of the enclosure is poor, so they cannot be used in electronic enclosures with high load-bearing requirements.

[0006] (3) The processing method of forming a complex structural component such as carbon fiber skin panel parts and metal beams and ribs, and then connecting and assembling the two into an electronic chassis has disadvantages such as low weight reduction rate of chassis structure and easy cracking of connection joints under stress. It is not suitable for use in electronic chassis with high load-bearing capacity and high weight reduction requirements.

[0007] The radar electronic chassis of a certain product has external dimensions of 550mm×420mm×115.5mm. The design requires the weight to be controlled within 2kg, and the components must meet the requirements of 40g overload impact and 50kg load. The existing chassis manufacturing methods can no longer meet the product's requirements for lightweight and high strength. Summary of the Invention

[0008] Technical problems to be solved

[0009] To overcome the shortcomings of existing radar electronic chassis molding methods, this invention utilizes a molding method of integral lay-up and one-time co-curing of carbon fiber composite materials. Through the high-precision use of multiple sets of combined molds and the thermal expansion-assisted autoclave technology of metal molds, this invention proposes a new one-time co-curing molding technology for a multi-box structure radar all-carbon fiber electronic chassis with a double T-shaped central web plate.

Step 2: Screw together and assemble 8 front-end mid-cabin split molds and 3 wind turbine nacelle split molds; Step 3: Lay the inner skin of the lower front hull, the middle front hull, and the upper front hull separately on the bottom plate mold, the front mid-hull mold, and the front upper hull mold, respectively, in a layup sequence of ±45°. (织物) / 0°3 / 90° / 0° / 90° / 0°3 / ±45° (织物) ; Step 4: The bottom plate mold, the front mid-cabin mold, and the front upper cabin mold are assembled into one piece using locating pins, and then aligned according to (±45°). (织物)2 / (orthogonal) (织物)3 / (±45°) (织物)2 The middle skin of the front cabin is laid in sequence, and pre-compaction is carried out after the laying is completed. Step 5: Apply ±45° angles to the wind turbine nacelle mold. (织物) / 0°3 / 90° / 0° / 90° / 0°3 / ±45° (织物) / (±45°) (织物)2 / (orthogonal) (织物)3 / (±45°) (织物)2 The inner skin and intermediate skin of the wind turbine nacelle are laid in sequence, and pre-compaction is carried out after the laying is completed. Step 6: The assembly mold of the nacelle, base plate mold, middle nacelle mold, and upper nacelle mold is then assembled into a whole mold using positioning pins. The outer skin of the chassis is then laid out in the following order: (orthogonal). (织物)3 / ±45° (织物)3 / 0°3 / 90° / 0° / 90° / 0°3 / ±45° (织物) ; Step 7: Make a vacuum bag, cure and shape it in an autoclave, demold, and perform post-processing to finally prepare the electronic chassis component.

5. The integral molding method for a double-T-shaped multi-box structure radar all-carbon fiber chassis according to claim 4, characterized in that: The prepreg in the layup is T300 carbon fiber epoxy material with a layer thickness of 0.25 mm.

6. The integral molding method for a double-T-shaped multi-box structure radar all-carbon fiber chassis according to claim 4, characterized in that: The unidirectional tape in the layup is made of T800 carbon fiber epoxy material with a layer thickness of 0.12 mm.
