Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of three-dimensional braiding, and in particular relates to a device for manufacturing a three-dimensional braided fabric with one end sealed. Background Art
[0002] Three-dimensional woven composite materials are a type of textile structural composite materials. Compared with laminated composite materials, the biggest advantage of textile structural composite materials is that by increasing the fiber bundles or yarns in the thickness direction, the reinforcement fibers are distributed in three-dimensional space in multiple directions, which prevents or slows down the expansion of interlayer cracks in the composite materials under impact loads, thus greatly improving the interlayer performance of three-dimensional woven composite materials. Therefore, three-dimensional woven composite materials have higher impact damage tolerance and fracture toughness than ordinary laminated composite materials. Three-dimensional weaving technology can design the number of fibers according to actual needs, weave complex-shaped parts and complete assemblies in one go, and reduce the amount of secondary processing, such as circular, square, conical, and various shapes of gradual and transitional weaving, so it is economical, low-cost, and has a short manufacturing cycle. In addition, three-dimensional woven composite materials can be applied to the weaving of various complex geometric shapes, with high stability and integrity, strong designability, and can meet certain specific engineering needs by changing parameters such as weaving method, weaving angle, yarn density, etc.
[0003] However, most of the composite parts currently woven by 3D braiding machines are open at both ends, such as round tubes, square tubes and other tube parts. For parts with one or both ends sealed, 3D braiding machines cannot be used, which greatly limits the application of 3D braiding.

[0046] The following embodiments are only for illustration purposes and can be combined with each other, and are not limited to the contents presented in the following single embodiments.
[0047] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The present invention provides a device for manufacturing a three-dimensional braided fabric with one end sealed, comprising a three-dimensional braiding machine 1, wherein 2N winding spindles 101 are sequentially arranged on the inner circumference of the three-dimensional braiding machine 1, and the 2N winding spindles 101 are sequentially numbered from 1 to 2N, and the yarn of the i-th winding spindle 101 is connected to the yarn of the i+N-th winding spindle 101, wherein: 1≤i≤N;

When the sealing structure is weaved, the core mold component 3 pushes the sealing structure to move, and the three-dimensional braiding machine 1 continues to weave the side wall of the three-dimensional braided fabric until the side wall of the three-dimensional braided fabric reaches a predetermined length and the weaving is completed.
