[0015] A composite material thermal insulation film forming method, the method comprising the following steps:
[0016] Step 1: Preparation before hot diaphragm: clean the tooling and apply release agent to prepare the tooling for use; then, lay the single laminate;
[0017] Step 2: Place the laminate on the core mold; before the left and right mold halves are aligned, open the right mold half and lock the right mold half with the locking block and L-shaped locking groove. Then, place the laid laminate on the left and right mold halves, position the laminate with the sheet positioning block, and place a pressure cover on the positioned laminate. The pressure cover is tightly connected to the left and right mold halves with screws and springs.
[0018] Step 3: Align the core mold; transport the tooling to the hot diaphragm machine to perform hot diaphragm molding on the left and right half molds respectively. After the hot diaphragm molding is completed, align the left and right half molds, position them using the positioning block, and check whether the left and right half molds are aligned properly after alignment;

Check the vacuum bag for airtightness to ensure there is no leakage.
[0020] Step 5: High temperature molding: Place the tooling into the autoclave for molding. Perform thermal uniformity test and air tightness test according to vacuum requirements. After passing the test, proceed to the next step of high temperature molding. The high temperature molding temperature is 135-150℃, the pressure is 0.6MPa, and the temperature and pressure are kept constant for 120-180min. The vacuum negative pressure reading is tested to drop no more than 0.017MPa. After that, the temperature is lowered to room temperature. The heating and cooling rates are 1-2℃ / min.
[0021] Step 6: Complete the molding of the composite molded parts; move the tooling out of the autoclave, remove the vacuum bag and breathable felt, and perform demolding.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] 1. The present invention adopts Invar (INVAR36) to make the core mold, and the selection of materials ensures the same thermal expansion ratio of the composite material and the tooling material, which makes it easier to form parts.
[0024] 2. The use of multi-segment positioning of the core mold (i.e., multiple positioning blocks are set at equal intervals for positioning) solves the problem of inaccurate positioning of large-size tooling (length of 10-30 meters) and improves the molding quality of parts.
[0025] 3. An oil-free linear slider is fixed at the bottom of the core mold, which solves the problems of laborious, time-consuming and difficult movement of large-sized tooling and parts, making it more convenient for workers to operate.
[0026] 4. The support frame and core mold support platform adopt a split structure, which increases the overall strength of each and saves manufacturing costs.
[0027] 5. The connection part of the pressure cover adopts a screw plus spring design, which has sufficient pressing force and is conducive to the molding of parts.
[0028] 6. The storage box is designed with one item per box, so you can intuitively see the number of detachable parts, which is convenient for inventory, prevents loss, and is convenient for staff to operate.
[0029] 7. Compared with traditional manual laying, the composite material hot diaphragm forming method of the present invention reduces many defects caused by manual laying, increases laying accuracy, and improves production efficiency. The current domestic manual bending process will cause fiber wrinkling and buckling in the R-angle area, and manual bending is difficult to bend large-sized and thick parts. The product quality is not guaranteed and is difficult to achieve. The parts produced by hot diaphragm bending are of high quality and good effect.
[0030] In summary, the outer surface accuracy of the composite material molded parts formed by the tooling and method of the present invention can reach ±0.1mm, and is particularly suitable for the molding of composite material vertical tail thermal diaphragm molded parts.

A method for forming a composite material thermal diaphragm using the tooling according to any one of claims 2 to 7, characterized in that: The method comprises the following steps: Step 1: Preparation before hot diaphragm: clean the tooling and apply release agent to prepare the tooling for use; then, lay the single laminate; Step 2: Place the laminate on the core mold; before the left half mold (7) and the right half mold (8) are aligned, open the right half mold (8), and lock the right half mold (8) with the locking block (12) and the L-shaped locking groove (23), then place the laid laminate on the left half mold (7) and the right half mold (8), position the laminate by the sheet positioning block (22), and place the pressure cover plate (4) on the positioned laminate, and press the pressure cover plate (4) and the left half mold (7) and the right half mold (8) with screws and springs (21); Step 3: aligning the core mold; transporting the tooling to the hot diaphragm machine to perform hot diaphragm molding on the left half mold (7) and the right half mold (8), respectively. After the hot diaphragm molding is completed, align the left half mold (7) and the right half mold (8), and position them by the positioning block (9). After aligning, check whether the left half mold (7) and the right half mold (8) are aligned in place; Step 4: vacuum bag sealing; place the laminate on the edge strip on the left half mold (7) and the right half mold (8) that are in place, then place the breathable felt, seal the left half mold (7) and the right half mold (8) with a vacuum bag, seal the edge of the vacuum bag and the core mold platform (2) with a sealing tape, and draw a full vacuum of at least 0.08MPa. Check the airtightness of the vacuum bag to ensure there is no leakage; Step 5: High temperature molding: Place the tooling into the autoclave for molding. Perform thermal uniformity test and air tightness test according to vacuum requirements. After passing the test, proceed to the next step of high temperature molding. The high temperature molding temperature is 135-150℃, the pressure is 0.6MPa, and the temperature and pressure are kept constant for 120-180min. The vacuum negative pressure reading is tested to drop no more than 0.017MPa. After that, the temperature is lowered to room temperature. The heating and cooling rates are 1-2℃ / min. Step 6: Complete the molding of the composite molded parts; move the tooling out of the autoclave, remove the vacuum bag and breathable felt, and perform demolding. During the demolding process, it must be ensured that no damage is caused to the composite molded parts. After demolding, clean and trim the edges of the composite molded parts.
