TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of composite material removable core mold forming, in particular to a forming method and application of a large-scale bidirectional variable curvature framework removable core mold. BACKGROUND
[0002] Fiber reinforced resin matrix composite (hereinafter referred to as composite material) is gradually widely used in shipbuilding, aviation, transportation and other industrial fields due to its high strength, high stiffness, light weight, good environmental performance and diverse functional characteristics. In the field of shipbuilding and ocean engineering, composite material components often have the characteristics of super large size, integral forming with framework, complex surface line type and high line type precision requirement. The forming method of such composite material components is mainly to fill the framework with foaming foam and other materials, and then to construct a mold surface with the framework and the filling foam, and then to form the composite material and the framework integrally on the mold surface. After the composite material component is formed, the filling foam is removed.
[0003] For such composite material components formed by relying on the removable core mold of the framework, the line type precision of the core mold directly determines the line type precision of the component, and the control difficulty of the line type precision of the core mold has two aspects: ① the size of the composite material component is super large; ② the surface line type is extremely complex, and the local line type is bidirectional variable curvature. Due to the super large size of the composite material component, the surface line type precision of the core mold cannot be processed and controlled by numerical control machining means. At present, the core mold line type control is mainly achieved by manual polishing and shaping. However, due to the lack of effective operation guidance, manual polishing needs to be repeatedly inspected and shaped, which is extremely low in efficiency, consumes a large amount of labor, and is difficult to effectively control the line type precision of the core mold, so as to ensure the line type precision of the composite material component.

[0048] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present application.
[0049] The present application relates to a large-scale two-way variable curvature framework detachable core mold, which comprises a large-scale two-way variable curvature linear composite material component local framework structure as shown in the figure, Figures 1-4 Two decomposition areas are arranged in the framework, and embedded card boards 6 are arranged in the decomposition areas as shown in the figure. Figure 5
[0050] Specifically, the framework is formed by a first longitudinal rib 1, a second longitudinal rib 2, a third longitudinal rib 3, a first transverse rib 4 and a second transverse rib 5.
[0051] Specifically, the second longitudinal rib 2 is located between the first longitudinal rib 1 and the third longitudinal rib 3.
[0052] Specifically, the framework forms a first area A and a second area B, that is, the first longitudinal rib and the second longitudinal rib form the second area with the first transverse rib and the second transverse rib, and the second longitudinal rib and the third longitudinal rib form the first area with the first transverse rib and the second transverse rib, and the curvature change of the first area is greater than that of the second area.
[0053] Specifically, the embedded card board in the first area is arranged in a mesh structure with longitudinal and transverse interfitting, and the embedded card board arranged in the second area is arranged in a longitudinal structure.
[0054] Specifically, the embedded card board is internally provided with a filling area 7, the filling area can be filled with foam, and the filling area varies according to the style of the embedded card board.
[0055] A large-scale two-way variable curvature framework detachable core mold high-precision filling forming method is adopted, and the above-mentioned large-scale two-way variable curvature framework is adopted, comprising the following steps:
[0056] Step 1: Fully identify the surface lines of the large-scale bidirectional variable curvature skeleton. Decompose the surface of the large-scale bidirectional variable curvature skeleton into smaller regions with relatively simple curvature change directions and curvature within an approximate range. In the first region A, the upper skeleton surface has large curvature changes in both the horizontal and vertical directions, while the lower skeleton surface is planar. In the second region B, the upper skeleton surface has large vertical curvature changes and small horizontal curvature changes, while the lower skeleton surface is planar. The skeleton surfaces of all regions other than the first and second regions are planar or approximately planar.
[0057] Step 2: Design and fabricate longitudinal and transverse embedded clamps based on the linear characteristics of the external surfaces of each decomposed region. The embedded clamps are thin steel strips with exposed sides conforming to the frame. The machining accuracy is ±0.5mm. For regions A and B, where the upper frame surface curvature is complex, embedded clamps are designed only for these regions. Figure 5 As shown. In the first region A, the curvature of the upper skeleton surface changes significantly in both the horizontal and vertical directions; therefore, the embedded card plates are designed in a relatively dense, bidirectional, intersecting pattern. In the second region B, the curvature of the upper skeleton surface changes significantly in the vertical direction but less in the horizontal direction; therefore, the embedded card plates are designed in a relatively sparse, longitudinal pattern. The embedded card plates are 5mm thick, 40mm wide, and 600–800mm long, with a spacing of 50–200mm between embedded card plates in a single direction.
[0058] Step 3: The embedded card plate is embedded and fixed in the corresponding position of the skeleton by spot welding. The positioning accuracy of the embedded card plate is ±0.5mm. A grid-like skeleton outer surface lining is constructed on the skeleton, and the skeleton outer surface lining is provided with a filling area.
[0059] Step 4: Fill the inner lining area of the skeleton's outer surface with foam or similar materials, ensuring the foam density is ≥150kg / m³. 3 The filling height is ≥200mm;
[0060] Step 5: Polish the foam to expose the embedded card plate, and polish the foam between adjacent embedded card plates to achieve a smooth transition. This will enable the core mold to be formed with high precision, which basically conforms to the shape value of the skeleton.
[0061] Step 6: Inspect the accuracy, airtightness and pressure bearing capacity of the mandrel, and correct any deviations in the mandrel's shape. The accuracy of the mandrel's shape is ±1mm, the ultimate vacuum degree of the mandrel is ≥0.095MPa, the vacuum degree is ≥0.080MPa 5min after the vacuum is closed, and the mandrel does not collapse after 12h under the ultimate vacuum pressure.
[0062] The setting proves that the core mold structure prepared by the molding method has good strength and high quality.
[0063] The high-precision filling molding method of the large-scale bidirectional variable-curvature skeleton detachable core mold in the application can control the core mold line type with high precision, and the obtained core mold has high quality and meets the quality requirements of the core mold, thereby ensuring the line type precision of the composite material component formed by the core mold relying on the skeleton, and having wide application prospects in the fields of ships and ocean engineering.
[0064] Although the application is disclosed as above, the application is not limited to this. Any person skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the application, and the protection scope of the application should be subject to the scope defined by the claims.
