Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of composite material propeller blade forming technology, specifically relating to a large-size composite material propeller blade forming mold and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] A propeller blade is a device that converts engine power into propulsion. It generally consists of two or more blades connected to a hub. The rearward side of the blade is a helical surface or a near-helical surface. It is mainly used as a power component in ships, submarines and other fields.

[0003] With the advancement and development of science and technology, composite materials have been gradually applied in various fields due to their ability to maintain the advantages of each component material and their good comprehensive performance. Among them, composite propeller blades have become the main research direction for propeller weight reduction and noise reduction design due to their high strength, high damping and low density characteristics.

[0004] Currently, most composite material propeller blades are manufactured using prepreg vacuum bag molding, especially for large-sized composite material propeller blades. Vacuum bag molding refers to placing the part in a vacuum bag and using a vacuum method to solidify the part under vacuum pressure. During vacuum molding, appropriate molds are required to position and shape the part.

[0005] Existing technologies for molding large-size composite propeller blades are prone to problems such as high manufacturing costs, low feasibility, and low product qualification rates due to the influence of molding dies during the molding process. Therefore, they are not suitable for molding large-size composite propeller blades.

[0006] Therefore, in order to address the above-mentioned technical problems, it is necessary to provide a large-size composite material propeller blade forming mold and its usage method. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a large-size composite material propeller blade forming mold and its usage method, so as to solve the problems of high manufacturing cost, low feasibility and low product qualification rate caused by the influence of the forming mold during the forming process of the large-size composite material propeller blade.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, an embodiment of the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0009] A large-size composite material propeller blade forming mold includes: blade, base mold, and connecting section assembly mold.

[0010] The blade consists of two parts: the blade surface and the blade root.

[0011] The base mold is located below the blade. One side of the base mold has a product film-coating surface that matches the blade surface. A forming groove is formed on the side of the base mold away from the product film-coating surface. A release mold is provided in the forming groove. A mold positioning groove is formed on the side wall of the forming groove. A mold fastening surface is formed on the side wall of the forming groove away from the mold positioning groove.

[0012] The connecting section assembly mold is located above the base mold. The connecting section assembly mold includes a top mold, a side wall mold is provided below the top mold, and a fastening mold is provided on the side of the side wall mold away from the top mold.

[0013] Furthermore, the base mold is connected to multiple lifting rings. This facilitates subsequent operation of the mold by lifting the lifting rings. The mold positioning groove has bolt holes on the side away from the mold fastening surface; these bolt holes are circular through holes used to connect the fixing bolts and assembly bolts on the connecting section assembly mold.

[0014] Furthermore, a pair of movable stops are engaged on the side of the base mold away from the product film-coating surface. These movable stops smooth the mold's shape, allowing for significant shape changes during vacuum bag compression molding. Simultaneously, the movable stops facilitate the removal of the demolding module. A pair of ejector blocks are connected within the molding groove. These ejector blocks assist in demolding the product within the molding groove. A pair of ejector holes are provided within the molding groove, located below the ejector blocks, and both holes penetrate the base mold. This facilitates ejection of the ejector blocks through the ejector holes.

[0015] Furthermore, the top mold has a top molding surface on the side closest to the sidewall mold. The top molding surface ensures the top shape of the blade surface and blade root. An overflow groove is provided on the outer side of the top molding surface. The overflow groove is used to drain excess resin material during the molding process, thereby controlling the resin content of the product.

[0016] Furthermore, the outer side of the top mold is provided with multiple locating pin holes and connecting bolt holes. The locating pin holes, in conjunction with the locating pins on the side wall mold, determine the installation position of the top mold, thereby improving the convenience and accuracy of assembling the top mold. The multiple locating pin holes and connecting bolt holes are spaced apart, and the connecting bolt holes are used to tighten the fixing bolts, allowing the top mold to be tightly and effectively connected to the side wall mold. The top mold is also provided with auxiliary threaded holes. The top mold is moved by the interaction of the auxiliary threaded holes and auxiliary threaded rods.

[0017] Furthermore, the inner side of the sidewall mold is a sidewall forming surface. The sidewall forming surface is used to define the sidewall shape of the blade surface and blade root. Multiple sets of locating pins are fixedly connected to the upper part of the sidewall mold, and these locating pins correspond to locating pin holes. The top mold is assembled and fixed by engaging the locating pins with the locating pin holes on the top mold. A locating section is provided at the lower part of the sidewall mold, and this locating section engages with a mold locating groove. Forming pressure is applied to the sidewall mold through the interaction between the locating section and the mold locating groove.

[0018] Furthermore, the side of the sidewall mold away from the sidewall forming surface is a pressure surface, on which multiple fixing bolts are connected. These fixing bolts are spaced apart from the positioning section, and each fixing bolt has a threaded nut at its top. The fixing bolts and nuts combine to form a fastener assembly. This facilitates the fastening of the top mold and the sidewall mold using the fixing bolts and nuts. The sidewall mold has auxiliary threaded holes, which, in conjunction with an auxiliary threaded rod, allow for the transfer of the sidewall mold.

[0019] Furthermore, the inner side of the fastening mold is a pressure-fitting surface, which mates with the pressure surface. This pressure-fitting surface mates with the pressure surface of the sidewall mold, applying lateral pressure to the sidewall mold. The outer side of the fastening mold is a fastening surface, which is an inclined surface that mates with the mold's fastening surface. By setting the fastening surface as an inclined surface, the top mold mates with the mold's fastening surface, thereby converting the bolt fastening force into a lateral force. Multiple assembly bolts are connected to the top of the fastening mold.

[0020] Furthermore, each end of one of the assembly bolts is threaded with an assembly nut, and the assembly bolts and assembly nuts combine to form a fastener assembly. The fastening mold and the base mold are assembled and fixed by the mutual engagement of the assembly bolts and assembly nuts. The fastening mold has multiple second auxiliary threaded holes, and one side of the base mold has an auxiliary threaded rod that matches the second auxiliary threaded holes. The fastening mold is moved by the mutual engagement of the second auxiliary threaded holes and the auxiliary threaded rod.

[0021] A method for using a large-size composite material propeller blade forming mold includes the following steps:

[0022] S1. Lay the composite material propeller blade material on the product film surface of the base mold, and adjust the composite material propeller blade material according to the shape and position of the product film surface so that the composite material propeller blade material fits the product film surface.

[0023] S2. Assemble the connecting section combination mold, insert the positioning section of the side wall mold into the mold positioning groove of the base mold, and then assemble the fastening mold. Place the fastening mold between the side wall mold and the base mold so that the pressure contact surface matches the pressure surface of the side wall mold and the fastening surface matches the mold fastening surface of the base mold. Fasten the mold by inserting and assembling bolts.

[0024] S3. Finally, assemble the top mold, align the positioning pin holes of the top mold with the positioning pins on the side wall mold, and combine the top mold and the side wall mold by inserting them together. After the combination is completed, tighten the fixing bolts and fixing nuts on the side wall mold to complete the mold assembly. If the positioning pin holes cannot be combined, the assembly bolts and assembly nuts of the mold need to be tightened further.

[0025] S4. After the mold is assembled, according to the vacuum bag compression molding process, lay the isolation film and breathable felt on the outside of the mold in sequence, seal the vacuum bag, and put it into the oven to cure and form after vacuuming.

[0026] S5. After molding is completed, remove the vacuum bag and related auxiliary materials, and proceed to the mold removal process;

[0027] S6. During the mold removal process, the top mold, fastening mold and side wall mold are removed in sequence. Then, the demolding module and movable stop block on the base mold are removed. The slurry product is separated from the base mold by exposing part of the product. If the product is still difficult to demold, the product is demolded by ejecting the ejector block through the ejector hole.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0029] This invention utilizes a combination of a basic mold, a connecting section combination mold, and a prepreg vacuum bag molding process to produce large-size composite material propeller blades. It features low cost, high quality, and high performance, resulting in products with a compact structure, low porosity, high fiber straightness, and excellent performance.

[0030] At the same time, it has the advantages of a clear and simple production process, low equipment requirements, convenient and quick mold operation, and strong feasibility. Attached Figure Description
