Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of textile composite materials, and in particular to an orthogonal three-dimensional woven preform containing bifurcations and a weaving method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, composite structural components have been widely used due to their technical advantages such as high specific strength, high specific stiffness, strong designability, and corrosion resistance. With the improvement of design and manufacturing capabilities, the forms, application environments, and loads of composite structural components have become increasingly complex. Composite materials containing bifurcations, especially those with special cross-sectional shapes such as "T", "H", "I", "π", and "F", are widely used in connection structures and reinforcement structures.

[0003] Traditional bifurcated composite structures are often manufactured using a layer-by-layer stacking method. Bifurcated structures suffer from low structural strength under out-of-plane loads, and local reinforcement between layers is often achieved through methods such as needling and stitching. However, these methods compromise fiber integrity and have limited applicability. Furthermore, due to process limitations, this method requires extensive post-processing and exhibits relatively inconsistent quality. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide an orthogonal three-dimensional woven preform containing bifurcations and a weaving method thereof. The weaving method of the present invention is simple to operate, and the obtained orthogonal three-dimensional woven preform containing bifurcations has stable quality.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object of the invention, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] The present invention provides a weaving method for an orthogonal three-dimensional woven preform containing bifurcations, comprising the following steps:

[0007] (1) setting weaving parameters according to the geometric dimensions of the orthogonal three-dimensional woven preform; the weaving parameters include the number of warp yarn layers, the warp yarn density, the number of weft yarn layers, and the weft yarn density;

[0008] (2) setting a bifurcation mode and a bifurcation position according to the geometric dimensions of the orthogonal three-dimensional woven preform in step (1) and the mechanical performance requirements of the composite material structural component, and determining a bifurcation pattern of the orthogonal three-dimensional woven preform;

[0009] (3) designing a weft yarn path according to the conditions set in steps (1) and (2) to obtain a design scheme for an orthogonal three-dimensional woven preform bifurcated structure;

[0010] (4) According to the design scheme described in step (3), three-dimensional weaving technology is used for weaving to obtain an orthogonal three-dimensional woven preform containing bifurcations.

[0011] Preferably, the step (1) comprises:

[0012] The number of warp yarn layers is The orthogonal three-dimensional woven preform is divided into m warp yarn layers The branches of m-branch preform are obtained;

[0013] For the bifurcation-free region, the number of warp yarn layers of the orthogonal 3D woven preform and number of weft yarn layers The relationship is

[0014] For the m-bifurcation region, the sum of the weft yarn layers of the orthogonal three-dimensional woven preform is The number of weft yarns in each branch is

[0015] Preferably, the step (2) includes: controlling the number of warp yarn layers in each branch according to the designed thickness of each branch after the m bifurcation The thickness of the branch is controlled; and the starting number of layers is determined according to the position corresponding to the required number of layers so as to increase the weft yarn two-ply at the starting number of layers.

[0016] Preferably, the bifurcated structure includes a 1-m bifurcated structure, an mm bifurcated structure, an m-1-m bifurcated structure, a k-bifurcated-m bifurcated structure or a local bifurcated structure.

[0017] Preferably, the 1-m bifurcation structure includes a 1-2 bifurcation structure or a 1-3 bifurcation structure.

[0018] Preferably, the mm bifurcation structure comprises a 2-2 bifurcation structure.

[0019] Preferably, the m-1-m bifurcated structure includes a 2-1-2 bifurcated structure.

[0021] Preferably, the weaving comprises: sequentially lifting the warp yarns above the position of the target weft yarn in order from bottom to top, and sequentially inserting the weft yarns.

[0022] The present invention provides an orthogonal three-dimensional woven preform containing bifurcations obtained by the weaving method described in the above technical solution.

[0023] The present invention provides a method for weaving an orthogonal three-dimensional woven preform containing bifurcations. The method designs and weaves the bifurcated orthogonal three-dimensional woven preform to achieve near-net-shape manufacturing of bifurcated structural components. The weft yarn path is designed to improve the out-of-plane strength (in the direction in which each branch extends) and lateral strength of the bifurcated orthogonal three-dimensional woven composite material, while reducing the overall weight. The weaving method is simple to operate, and the resulting bifurcated orthogonal three-dimensional woven preform has stable quality.

[0024] The present invention weaves an orthogonal three-dimensional woven preform with a near-net-shape shape, while maintaining the continuity and integrity of the component's internal fiber structure. This reduces component manufacturing costs by reducing blanking time (preform RTM preparation time is 30 minutes, while layup RTM requires 2-3 hours), laying steps, and the use of a non-autoclave process. It also improves the component's resistance to delamination and damage tolerance through the integrated internal fiber structure. The process for producing the bifurcated orthogonal three-dimensional woven preform is relatively simple, and the existing machinery has a high degree of automation, effectively improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0025] As a preferred solution, the present invention significantly improves the mechanical properties of the structure such as tension and compression outside the surface by designing and weaving the weft yarn path in the bifurcated orthogonal three-dimensional woven preform, and improves the mechanical properties of the structure in various directions such as axial and lateral directions.

[0040] The present invention provides a weaving method for an orthogonal three-dimensional woven preform containing bifurcations, comprising the following steps:

[0041] (1) setting weaving parameters according to the geometric dimensions of the orthogonal three-dimensional woven preform; the weaving parameters include the number of warp yarn layers, the warp yarn density, the number of weft yarn layers, and the weft yarn density;

[0042] (2) setting a bifurcation mode and a bifurcation position according to the geometric dimensions of the orthogonal three-dimensional woven preform in step (1) and the mechanical performance requirements of the composite material structural component, and determining a bifurcation pattern of the orthogonal three-dimensional woven preform;

[0050] In the present invention, the number of warp yarn layers is mainly limited by the performance of the loom, and the number of warp yarn layers is preferably ≥3, and more preferably 20 to 24. The subscript 0 in represents the original state, and the superscript j represents the warp yarn. In the present invention, the total number of warp yarn layers is a constant, and the subsequent "fork" only involves the allocation of the number of warp yarn layers, and does not generate new warp yarn layers.

[0051] In the present invention, the The subscript i indicates the “i”-th branch; the whole number indicates how many warp yarn layers there are in the “i”-th branch.

[0052] In the present invention, the The subscript 0 in represents the original state, and the superscript w represents the weft yarn.

[0053] The present invention sets the bifurcation method and bifurcation position based on the geometric dimensions of the orthogonal three-dimensional woven preform and the mechanical performance requirements of the composite structural component, thereby determining the bifurcation pattern of the orthogonal three-dimensional woven preform. In the present invention, the composite structural component refers to the composite material obtained by molding the orthogonal three-dimensional woven preform. In the present invention, the designed bifurcation position includes the starting position and starting number of layers of the bifurcation.

[0054] In the present invention, it is preferred to control the number of warp yarn layers in each branch according to the design thickness of each branch after the m bifurcation. The thickness of the branch is controlled; and the starting number of layers is determined according to the position corresponding to the required number of layers so as to increase the weft yarn two-ply at the starting number of layers.

[0055] The present invention designs the weft yarn path based on the above-mentioned conditions to obtain a design scheme for the bifurcated structure of the orthogonal three-dimensional woven preform. By designing the weft yarn path, the present invention controls the connection form of the bifurcated position and the out-of-plane and lateral mechanical properties of the bifurcated structure.

[0056] In the present invention, the bifurcated structure preferably includes a 1-m bifurcated structure, an mm bifurcated structure, an m-1-m bifurcated structure, a k bifurcated-m bifurcated structure or a local bifurcated structure. In the present invention, the 1-m bifurcated structure preferably includes a 1-2 bifurcated structure or a 1-3 bifurcated structure; the 1-2 bifurcated structure can be pre-formed and expanded into a "T" type or a "Y" type structure. In the present invention, the mm bifurcated structure preferably includes a 2-2 bifurcated structure; the m-1-m bifurcated structure preferably includes a 2-1-2 bifurcated structure; the mm bifurcated structure or the m-1-m bifurcated structure can be pre-formed and expanded into an "I" type, "H" type, "K" type or "π" type structure. In the present invention, the k bifurcated-m bifurcated structure preferably includes a 3-2 bifurcated structure; the k bifurcated-m bifurcated structure can be pre-formed and expanded into an "I" type or "H" type structure.

The 1-2 bifurcation structure can be preformed to expand into a T- or Y-shaped configuration.

[0058] Figure 2 for Figure 1 The possible weft yarn path distribution and branch thickness control can be realized by designing the weft yarn path to further control the mechanical properties of the structure, and the proportion of each branch can be further adjusted by designing the number of bifurcation starting layers. Figure 2 Figure 8 shows a typical cross arrangement, Figure 9 shows a typical winding arrangement; Figure 10 shows the design method when the branch thickness is different. Figure 2 The weft yarns are randomly distributed and can be further designed according to actual needs.

Figure 8 Reference numeral 19 represents a two-ply weft yarn, and reference 20 represents the weft yarn path after preforming and unfolding. The preform, after preforming and unfolding, forms a "large" structure. Further horizontally unfolding the left branch creates a horizontally reinforced "T" structure. Mirroring this structure creates "I" and "H" structures.

[0064] As an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 9 is a schematic diagram of the local bifurcation structure. Figure 9 21 is the weft yarn two-ply at the bifurcation thickness, 22 is the cutting position diagram, and 23 is the pre-formed and unfolded stiffener. Combined with appropriate cutting, part of the thickness of the plate can be sacrificed to produce a stiffened plate.
