BACKGROUND

The structure wave-absorbing composite material has the characteristics of strong designability, wide absorption frequency band and high absorption rate, and generally uses multiple wave-transparent, wave-absorbing and reflecting materials to realize function and mechanical structure design, but the structure design often faces the problems of overweight and excessive deformation in manufacturing, so it is very important to find a stealth structure that meets the requirements of high stealth, low weight and high-precision manufacturing.
[0003] The present application takes the matching of the thermal expansion coefficient of high-performance fibers and the stealth functionality as the innovative concept, solves the problems of high-stealth, low-weight structure-function integrated design and manufacturing stress caused by the inconsistent thermal expansion coefficient of fibers in the autoclave process, and improves the technical level of stealth structure function / bearing design and manufacturing integration. SUMMARY
[0004] The present application aims to solve the technical problems of multi-objective mutual contradiction in the design of stealth function and bearing structure such as high electromagnetic wave absorption, high mechanical bearing and high manufacturing precision, and provides a polyimide fiber composite material stealth sandwich structure and a manufacturing method thereof. Based on the thermal expansion coefficient matching and stealth functionality of multi-variety fiber laminated structure, a stealth sandwich structure is proposed, which uses high-transparency polyimide fiber-reinforced composite material as the wave-transparent skin, wave-absorbing honeycomb as the core layer, and carbon fiber composite material as the reflecting layer. The polyimide fiber and carbon fiber laminated structure reduces the bonding stress and structure weight, improves the manufacturing precision of large-aspect-ratio leading edge structure, and reduces the overall weight of the structure. The carbon fiber composite material reflecting plate adopts an angle adjustment structure with low-frequency wave-absorbing effect. To solve the problem of difficult processing of polyimide fibers, the edge processing method of the polyimide fiber composite material sandwich structure is improved, which can greatly improve the edge processing quality and processing efficiency of similar structures.
[0005] The technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows:

[0008] The core film 9 is used for bonding between the wave-absorbing honeycomb 2 and the laminated plate area of the polyimide wave-transparent skin 1; the plate film 10 is used for bonding between the polyimide wave-transparent skin 1 and the carbon fiber reflection plate 3 and the carbon fiber end rib 4; and the foaming glue 11 or a film is used for bonding between the wave-absorbing honeycomb 2 and the carbon fiber reflection plate 3 and the carbon fiber end rib 4.
[0009] The polyimide wave-transparent skin 1 adopts a polyimide fiber reinforced prepreg, has a dielectric constant similar to that of a quartz wave-transparent prepreg, meanwhile, the carbon fiber reflection plate 3 and the carbon fiber end rib 4 are both made of carbon fiber materials, can effectively utilize the mechanical properties of the carbon fiber to reduce weight, and utilize the electric conductivity of the carbon fiber to reflect electromagnetic waves, so as to achieve multiple targets of wave-absorbing function, structure weight reduction and high-precision manufacturing. In addition, the polyimide wave-transparent skin 1, the wave-absorbing honeycomb 2 and the carbon fiber reflection plate 3 have good temperature matching, fully utilize the negative thermal expansion coefficient of the polyimide fiber and the carbon fiber, keep the consistency of thermal expansion during the bonding and curing process of the three, reduce the thermal stress during bonding to the minimum, avoid stress deformation caused by fiber thermal expansion, and improve the manufacturing precision of the part.
[0010] Further, according to the temperature requirement of the working condition of the stealth sandwich structure, one or two of epoxy resin, bismaleimide resin and cyanate resin is selected as a matrix for the polyimide wave-transparent skin 1.
[0011] Further, the core film 9 and the plate film 10 are matched with the temperature resistance requirement of the stealth sandwich structure.

[0013] Step 1, the edge of the polyimide wave-transparent skin 1 is processed to the net size to avoid edge processing after curing; the polyimide wave-transparent skin 1 with completed edge processing is cured and formed by using polyimide fiber reinforced prepreg; the carbon fiber reflective plate 3 is cured and formed by using carbon fiber prepreg; the carbon fiber end rib 4 is cured and formed by using polyimide wave-transparent fiber reinforced wave-absorbing prepreg and carbon fiber prepreg.
[0014] Among them, since the polyimide wave-transparent skin 1 is difficult to edge process, different edge processing schemes are adopted according to the structural characteristics of different polyimide wave-transparent skins 1: (1) for the no allowance assembly area, the edge is formed to the net size by using a mold; (2) for the chamfering area of the variable curvature edge, numerical control milling is used for forming; (3) for features such as drainage holes and reference holes, pulse laser processing is used for forming.

In order to improve the shape accuracy of the wave-absorbing honeycomb 2, a five-axis numerical control machining center is used for processing.
[0016] Step 3, the carbon fiber reflective plate 3 and the carbon fiber end rib 4 cured and formed in step 1 are fixed and positioned by a combination mold to form a combination structure with the wave-absorbing honeycomb 2, and the combination structure is formed by a secondary gluing process using foaming glue 11 or glue film. After the whole combination structure is formed, the gluing surface is non-destructively detected; after the combination structure is formed, the outer shape of the wave-absorbing honeycomb 2 is processed, and after processing, the gap between the combination structure and the polyimide wave-transparent skin 1 is checked by a honeycomb checking film 6. After the checking meets the gluing quality condition, the next step is carried out.

[0019] Wherein, the carbon fiber reflecting plate 3 and the carbon fiber end rib 4 are combined with the wave-absorbing honeycomb 2 after curing, and then the wave-absorbing honeycomb 2 is secondarily processed to improve the bonding quality with the polyimide wave-transparent skin 1, which is the first innovation point of the manufacturing method. The edge size of the polyimide wave-transparent skin 1 is ensured to be a net size before curing, so that the edge processing after curing can be avoided, and the manufacturing cost is reduced, which is the second innovation point of the manufacturing method.
[0020] Further, the carbon fiber reflecting plate 3 is manufactured by adopting a negative mold forming of a carbon fiber unidirectional tape or fabric prepreg, so as to ensure the assembly precision of the nested surface.
[0021] Further, the carbon fiber end rib 4 is manufactured by adopting a carbon fiber fabric prepreg and a positive mold forming, so as to be a box-shaped structure.
[0022] Further, for the polyimide wave-transparent skin 1 with large curvature, a positive mold and a uniform pressing cover plate are adopted for forming; and for the polyimide wave-transparent skin 1 with small curvature, a negative mold is adopted for forming, so as to ensure the surface quality of the polyimide wave-transparent skin 1.
