Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of composite material applications, specifically providing a composite material external mesh reinforcement support cylinder, molding die, and preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Carbon fiber composites are lightweight materials with superior comprehensive performance. Therefore, load-bearing cylinders in satellites and other spacecraft are mostly made of carbon fiber composites. Carbon fiber composite externally reinforced load-bearing cylinders have significant application value in aerospace structures and are widely used in the load-bearing structures of spacecraft and aircraft. As the main load-bearing component of satellites and other aerospace products, the load-bearing cylinder must ensure high rigidity. Currently, improving its rigidity is mostly achieved by arranging grid-like reinforcing ribs on the cylinder body. These reinforcing ribs are divided into internal and external types, determined according to the product's application requirements. When the reinforcing ribs are internal, the connection between the reinforcing ribs and the cylinder body is usually achieved through post-bonding. This results in a lack of a continuous fiber layer between the cylinder body and the reinforcing ribs, affecting the torsional performance of the load-bearing cylinder structure and thus reducing the service life of aerospace products.

[0003] The main molding methods for carbon fiber composite external mesh reinforcement load-bearing cylinders include compression molding and vacuum bag-autoclave molding. However, each of these methods has its drawbacks. Vacuum bag-autoclave molding results in a rough inner surface for the external mesh reinforcement load-bearing cylinder, which can damage the fibers and reduce product strength during subsequent surface processing. Furthermore, these methods are mostly used for manufacturing clean cylinders or internally reinforced load-bearing cylinders, and are rarely used for manufacturing externally mesh reinforcement load-bearing cylinders. Existing externally mesh reinforcement load-bearing cylinder structures are mostly assembled from metal structures and composite material skin shells and reinforcements, resulting in heavy weight, weak mechanical properties at joints, and a tendency for delamination defects at the adhesive surface. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above problems, this invention provides a composite material external mesh reinforcement load-bearing cylinder, a molding die, and a preparation method.

[0005] The composite material external mesh reinforcement load-bearing cylinder provided by the present invention includes:

The circumferential reinforcement is evenly distributed along the axial direction of the shell skin, and the longitudinal reinforcement is parallel to the axis of the shell skin and is evenly distributed on the outer wall of the shell skin.

[0009] The shell skin, upper flange reinforcement area, lower flange reinforcement area and grid reinforcement are all integral structures, and are made of fiber and resin. In the fiber and resin composite material, the volume fraction of fiber is 60% ± 3%.

[0010] Preferably, the fiber is made of glass fiber, quartz fiber or high silica fiber; the resin is made of cyanate resin, epoxy resin or acetal resin.

[0013] The core is cylindrical and is used to compress the inner wall of the composite material external mesh reinforcement load-bearing cylinder;

[0014] The core mold is connected to the outer segment. The core mold consists of multiple metal blocks, which are made of aluminum alloy. The rest of the structure is made of carbon steel. The gaps between the metal blocks are used for the extrusion molding of the mesh reinforcement.

[0015] The outer segment consists of at least two pieces, and a pre-compression plate and a pre-compression ejector screw are provided around the outer segment. During the extrusion and mold closing process, the pre-compression ejector screw is used to pre-compress and form the mesh reinforcement.

[0016] The pressure cylinder is used to apply pressure perpendicular to the axial direction to the outer segments. A base plate is connected to the lower end of the pressure cylinder. The upper surface of the base plate is provided with a first limiting structure to avoid excessive compression of the composite material external mesh reinforcement support cylinder, which would cause its shell skin to become too thin. Observation gaps are left at equal intervals at the connection between the base plate and the pressure cylinder to observe the distance between the composite material external mesh reinforcement support cylinder and the base plate.

[0017] A top cover plate is connected to the upper end of the pressure cylinder. The top cover plate is coaxially connected to the bottom plate through a positioning pin. A second limiting structure is provided on the lower surface of the top cover plate to prevent the outer segments from tilting during the extrusion and mold closing process.

[0018] Both the base plate and the top cover plate are equipped with mold closing gap observation holes, which are used to observe the extrusion molding of the composite material external mesh reinforcement support cylinder by the molding die.

[0019] Preferably, the surface of the pressure cylinder is provided with a threaded through hole, the side pressure screw is locked with the threaded through hole, and the top of the side pressure screw applies pressure perpendicular to the axial direction to the outside through the threaded through hole.

[0020] Preferably, the outer lobes are 4 pieces.

The axial direction of the shell skin is 0°, 30°≤θ°≤60°. The laying thickness of each layer is 0.2mm. The fiber and resin prepreg in the gaps of the metal blocks is pre-pressed in sections by using a pre-press plate and pre-press screws. After the section pre-pressing is completed, the pre-press screws are removed.

[0025] S3. Assemble the core and fix the outer segment with the core mold. The pressure cylinder applies a pressure perpendicular to the axial direction to the metal block through the side pressure screws. The side pressure screws are screwed in to the same length.

[0026] S4. Lay out the upper flange reinforcement area, install the upper cover plate, and insert the positioning pin to prevent the upper cover plate from misaligning with the base plate; screw the axial pressure screws into the threaded holes on the preload plates at the upper and lower ends of the outer segment.

[0030] Preferably, when installing the top cover, first unscrew the side pressure screws by 1 to 2 turns to avoid excessive pressure on the side pressure screws, which could make the top cover difficult to install.

[0031] Preferably, mesh reinforcements that meet different needs can be produced by replacing metal blocks of different thicknesses and sizes.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the present invention can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0033] The molding die of this invention is made of metal, with a smooth surface and high dimensional accuracy. The inner surface of the composite material external mesh reinforcement support cylinder after molding is smooth, and the inner cavity size can be precisely controlled. Subsequent surface processing will not damage the fibers, avoiding a reduction in the strength of the composite material external mesh reinforcement support cylinder due to post-processing. The molding die of this invention is inexpensive and can produce composite material external mesh reinforcement support cylinders of different sizes.

[0034] The preparation method of the present invention adopts the integrated processing of shell skin and mesh reinforcement, which avoids the later splicing of traditional composite material shell skin and mesh reinforcement, and avoids problems such as weak mechanical properties at the splicing point and easy delamination defects at the adhesive surface.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and do not constitute a limitation thereof.

[0045] Figure 1 The structure of a composite material external mesh reinforcement load-bearing cylinder provided according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of the present invention, the composite material external mesh reinforcement load-bearing cylinder is integrally molded through a fiber and resin prepreg laying process. The fibers in the prepreg can be one of glass fiber, quartz fiber, high silica fiber, or carbon fiber; the resin in the prepreg can be one of cyanate resin, epoxy resin, acetal phenolic resin, bismaleimide resin, polyimide resin, or phthalic acid cyanide resin. The volume fraction of the fibers is 60% ± 3%.

[0047] The composite material externally reinforced load-bearing cylinder includes: a shell skin 1, an upper flange reinforcement area 2, a lower flange reinforcement area 3, and a mesh reinforcement 4, wherein:

[0048] The shell skin 1 is a hollow cylindrical structure. An upper flange reinforcement area 2 and a lower flange reinforcement area 3 are provided at the axial openings at both ends of the shell skin 1. Both the upper flange reinforcement area 2 and the lower flange reinforcement area 3 are hollow annular structures. The inner surface of the shell skin 1 is smooth. A grid rib 4 is provided on the outer surface of the shell skin 1. The grid rib 4 includes annular ribs 41 and longitudinal ribs 42. The annular ribs 41 are evenly distributed along the axial direction of the shell skin 1; the longitudinal ribs 42 are parallel to the axis of the shell skin 1 and are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the shell skin 1.

[0049] The shell skin 1, upper flange reinforcement area 2, lower flange reinforcement area 3, and mesh reinforcement 4 of the composite material external mesh reinforcement load-bearing cylinder are all integral structures. The composite material external mesh reinforcement load-bearing cylinder is made of multiple sets of fiber and resin composite materials.

[0052] Figure 3 A cross-sectional view of the molding die for a composite material external mesh reinforcement load-bearing cylinder provided according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0053] Figure 5 The diagram illustrates a structure for pre-compression molding of a single outer lobe according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0055] The core 110 is a hollow cylinder used to compress the inner wall of the composite material external mesh reinforcement support cylinder. When the fiber and resin prepreg is laid, the fiber and resin prepreg is laid on the side of the core 110.

[0056] The core mold 120 is set on the outside of the core 110 and together with the core 110 completes the extrusion molding. The core mold 120 is composed of multiple metal blocks of the same size. In the molding die of the composite material external mesh reinforcement load-bearing cylinder, the metal blocks are made of aluminum alloy, and the other structures are made of carbon steel. The thermal expansion coefficient of aluminum alloy is relatively large, which makes the mesh reinforcement 4 more compact. When the metal blocks are arranged, the gaps between the metal blocks are used for the extrusion molding of the mesh reinforcement 4. The outside of the core mold 120 is connected to the outer segment 130.

[0057] The outer segment 130 includes four segments, which are divided into four pre-compression forming areas and are equipped with straight opening structures that mutually limit each other, thus preventing the prepreg from overflowing during the pressure curing process. The outer segment 130 has pre-reserved mounting holes for pre-compression tooling plates around its perimeter. The outer segment 130 is equipped with a pre-compression plate 180 and a pre-compression ejector screw 190 around its perimeter. The pre-compression ejector screw 190 is threadedly connected to the pre-compression plate 180, and the top of the pre-compression ejector screw 190 rests against the side of the metal block at the edge. The core mold 120 can pre-compress the mesh ribs 4 on each outer segment 130.

[0058] The pressure cylinder 140 is located outside the outer segment 130. A threaded hole is opened on the side of the pressure cylinder 140 corresponding to the position of the metal block. A side pressure screw can be screwed into this hole. The outer segment 130 applies pressure perpendicular to the axial direction, further pressurizing the metal block. A base plate 160 is connected to the lower end of the pressure cylinder 140. A first limiting structure is provided on the upper surface of the base plate 160 to prevent excessive compression of the composite material external mesh reinforcement support cylinder during the extrusion molding process, which could cause its shell skin 1 to become too thin. An observation gap 200 is provided at equal intervals at the connection between the base plate 160 and the pressure cylinder 140 for observing the distance between the composite material external mesh reinforcement support cylinder and the base plate 160.

[0059] A top cover plate 150 is connected to the upper end of the pressure cylinder 140. The top cover plate 150 and the bottom plate 160 have through holes to accommodate positioning pins 170. There are two positioning pins 170. The top cover plate 150 is coaxially connected to the bottom plate 160 through the positioning pins 170. A second limiting structure is provided on the lower surface of the top cover plate 150 to prevent the outer segment 130 from tilting during the extrusion molding process. Both the bottom plate 160 and the top cover plate 150 are provided with mold closing gap observation holes 210 to observe the extrusion molding of the composite material external mesh reinforcement support cylinder by the molding die.

[0060] Figure 4 The flowchart illustrates a method for preparing a composite material external mesh reinforcement load-bearing cylinder according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0061] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the method for preparing a composite material external mesh reinforcement load-bearing cylinder provided in this embodiment of the invention utilizes a molding die to process the composite material external mesh reinforcement load-bearing cylinder, specifically including the following steps:

[0062] S1. Prepare the molding mold for the composite material external mesh reinforcement load-bearing cylinder. Fix the cylinder core 110 on the base plate 160. Lay down the flange reinforcement area 3 and the shell skin 1, which is made of 4 groups of fiber and resin composite materials. Each group of fiber and resin composite materials is made of 5 layers of fiber and resin prepreg. The axial direction of the shell skin 1 is specified as 0°, the laying angle of the first layer is 0°, and the layering sequence is 0°, 90°, 45°, 0°, -45° on the cylinder core 1. 10. Carbon fiber and epoxy resin prepreg are laid on top. The thickness of a single layer of prepreg is 0.2 mm. In addition, the laying angle can be 0°, 90°, +θ°, 0°, -θ°, 30°≤θ°≤60°. The thickness of each layer can be 0.1~0.2 mm. For the layer with a laying angle of 90°, thin strips of prepreg with a width of 10 mm~20 mm are used for winding. At the corners, the fiber should be kept as continuous as possible, and prepreg is reserved at the two reinforcement areas of the upper flange.

[0063] S2. Lay metal blocks on the outer segment 130 according to the shape of the mesh reinforcement 4 to be processed, and fix the core mold after laying the metal blocks on the outer segment 130 with screws. Lay carbon fiber and epoxy resin prepreg in groups of five layers in the gaps of the metal blocks in the order of 0°, 90°, 45°, 0°, -45°. Prepress the carbon fiber and epoxy resin prepreg in the gaps of the metal blocks in sections using the prepress plate 180 and the prepress screw 190. Screw the prepress screw 190 into the extruded metal block. After a period of time, the section prepress molding is completed, and the mesh reinforcement 4 is preformed. After the section prepress molding is completed, remove the prepress screw.

[0064] S3. The four outer segments 130 are assembled onto the core 110 in a single row from the center to both sides using a pre-compression fixture. After assembly, thin strips of prepreg are used to fill the mesh ribs where the core 120 is joined, and the repaired area is slightly higher than the arc surface of the core 120. The pressure cylinder 140 applies a perpendicular axial pressure to the metal block through the side pressure screws. The side pressure screws are screwed in to the same length to ensure that the outer segments 130 are subjected to uniform force.

[0065] S4. After assembly, turn the prepreg material reserved when laying the lower flange reinforcement area 3 and the shell skin 1 onto the upper flange reinforcement area 3, and lay the upper flange reinforcement area 3 using the prepreg material according to the theoretical thickness of the upper flange reinforcement area 3. Install the upper cover plate 150, and evenly unplug the side pressure screws by 1-2 turns to avoid excessive pressure on the outer segment 130 by the pressure cylinder 140, which would make it difficult to install the upper cover plate 150. Insert the positioning pin 170 to prevent the upper cover plate 150 from being misaligned with the base plate 160, and screw the axial pressure screws into the threaded holes on the pre-pressure plates 180 on the upper and lower end faces of the outer segment 130, that is, the threaded holes connected to the pre-pressure set screws 190 during the partition pre-pressure molding.

[0066] S5. Screw in the axial pressure screw and the side pressure screw to apply pressure, and judge the extrusion and mold closing status through the mold closing gap observation hole and the observation gap.

[0067] like Figure 2 As shown, the side pressure screw and the axial pressure screw are fixed in the side pressure screw hole 220 and the axial pressure screw hole 230.

[0068] S6. Perform heat curing at a temperature of 110℃~150℃ for 2~4 hours.

[0069] S7. Cool to below 40℃ and demold to complete the preparation of the composite material external mesh reinforcement load-bearing cylinder.

[0070] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is to be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
