Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of aerospace, and relates to a preform of a cavity structural member unit and a preparation method thereof. Technical Background

[0002] Composite materials are the main materials for the main structural members of aerospace satellites. In the preparation process of the main structural members of aerospace satellites, lightweight and reliability are quite important basic conditions. In the preparation process of traditional large structural preforms, due to the limitations of materials and processes, large-sized components are often split into multiple small and medium-sized structural preforms, and finally the small and medium-sized structural preforms are combined for preparation.

[0003] However, the integrated structure of aerospace structural members is an inevitable trend in the development of aerospace materials. In the design process of aerospace components with complex structures, the integrated design itself has relatively high design requirements and requires corresponding tooling and molds, and the overall cost is very high.

The A face is the second equilateral triangle from top to bottom of the "丿", and the a face is the first equilateral triangle from left to right of the "一"; the "丆"-shaped laminated fiber cloth is folded to a state where the A face coincides with the a face, and the A face and the a face are adhered to one face of the prefabricated regular triangular pyramid that has been prepared.

[0035] Triangular structures are very stable. This invention utilizes a regular triangular pyramid preform as the basic unit for aerospace component preforms, achieving lightweight construction. To facilitate understanding of this technical solution, the regular triangular pyramid preform can be thought of as a brick, and the aerospace component preform as a house. The following describes the specific preparation method and key technical points.

[0036] Prepare a piece of T300-3K rectangular carbon fiber cloth with a side width of 1000mm. Figure 2 Draw a solid line, the solid line part is the cutting line, and the dotted line part is the folding line. Figure 2 The side length of the drawn single triangle is 120 mm.

[0037] The carbon fiber cloth is disassembled into multiple pieces of single-structure cloth. The thickness of the single-fiber cloth is 0.3mm. It is necessary to stack more than 7 layers of single-structure cloth with a thickness of more than 2mm. The length of the triangle of the bottom surface of the stacked single-structure cloth is 120mm. After that, the length of the triangle decreases by 2mm for every 3 layers stacked.

[0038] In order to facilitate the folding of the laminated fiber cloth, the laminated fiber cloth is simply sewn and then locked. Prepare a regular triangular pyramid core mold with a side length of 118mm, use the laminated cloth at the short triangle side as the inner cloth, and the laminated cloth at the 120mm side triangle as the outer cloth, and fold the laminated cloth along the dotted line to the inner side around the regular triangular pyramid. Figure 2 In the cut structure, the four faces of the wrapped regular triangular pyramid after unidirectional folding are adjacent and connected by continuous fibers, making the structure more stable. Figure 4As shown in the figure, after the regular triangular pyramid is folded, the A surface and the a surface are coincident, the B surface and the b surface are coincident, the E surface and the e surface are coincident, and the D surface and the d surface are coincident. The coincident surfaces are sutured and connected after the regular triangular pyramid is prepared, so the coincident surfaces share the continuous fibers with the adjacent surfaces. The regular triangular pyramid prepared by this folding method is as follows. Figure 4 As shown, surface A (a) and surface B (b) achieve continuity through surface a and surface B; surface A (a) and surface E (e) achieve continuity through surface A and surface E; surface A (a) and surface D (d) achieve continuity through surface A and surface D; surface B (b) and surface E (e) achieve continuity through surface B and surface E; surface B (b) and surface D (d) achieve continuity through surface B and surface d; surface E (e) and surface D (d) achieve continuity through surface e and surface d. Under this technology, the surfaces of the regular triangular pyramid prefabricated body are continuous and the structure is firm.

[0039] After the regular triangular pyramid is folded, it is sutured. The suture method is the adjacent suture. The adjacent suture fiber method is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, a special needle is used to bring the carbon fiber into the regular triangular pyramid surface and sew it in a triangular dot array, with the distance between points being 5mm.

[0040] After completing the preparation of a regular triangular pyramid preform, prepare a second regular triangular pyramid preform. Figure 6 Fold in this manner, with surface A (a) overlapping first. After overlapping, surface A (a) is aligned with any surface of the first preform and then stitched. The stitching method is a contiguous stitching, with a triangular dot pattern and a distance of 5 mm between points. Place the core mold in the second preform, fold inward around the core mold, and stitch.

[0041] After adding n preforms according to the above method, they are built into the required shape, and the edges are filled with special-shaped preforms to build the final shape, and then covered with a whole piece of fiber cloth to keep all small preform components tightly combined.
