[0003] At present, the puncture preform weaving process commonly used in China is to use the steel needle matrix arranged in advance to carry out overall needling and compaction on carbon fiber weftless cloth, weftless cloth / tire, woven fabric and other sheet materials, and then manually complete the carbon fiber replacement Z direction steel needle operation to obtain the puncture preform.

[0004] Its problems are as follows:

[0005] 1. The forming mode and preform structure design method are single, and only the rectangular cuboid preform can be woven, for the case of using the preform to make hollow cylindrical structure, the near net size workpiece cannot be completed at one time, and the near net size puncture preform needs to be obtained after cutting; Therefore, a certain amount of preform needs to be cut off, resulting in large raw material loss in the production process;

For the preparation of large size puncture preform, because the number of Z direction steel needle is extremely large, the operation resistance increases sharply, and the steel needle array control is difficult during the puncture process, so that the large size puncture preform cannot be prepared;

[0007] 3. Because the amount of Z direction steel needle is large, and the Z direction steel needle needs to be replaced manually, and the replacement operation of the Z direction steel needle corresponding to the cut preform part is equivalent to invalid work, resulting in low production efficiency and high production cost.

[0008] 4. Because there is no horizontal (X-Y) direction yarn laying, the control of the steel needle at the edge of the steel needle array is difficult during the Z direction steel needle replacement process. SUMMARY

[0089] Third layer of laying: the laying paths of the first layer of laying are mirror-symmetric along a direction perpendicular to the direction of the yarn 5 of the first yarn 5, and the laying paths of the third layer of laying are obtained;

[0090] Fourth layer of laying: the laying paths of the second layer of laying are mirror-symmetric along a direction parallel to the direction of the yarn 5 of the first yarn 5, and the laying paths of the fourth layer of laying are obtained;

[0091] After the above four layers of laying are completed, one cycle of laying operation is completed. As shown in FIG. 7, Figure 8 ​as shown.

[0092] S5, compaction: the to-be-compacted composite structure obtained in S4 is moved to a pressing device for compaction operation, the planar layer 2 in the X-Y direction is compacted to a thickness of 300 mm, and an X-Y direction composite structure with a volume density meeting the design requirement is obtained. For the moving and compaction operation of the near-net-size piercing preform 3 woven into a large-size shape, a steel needle spacing maintaining device matched with the wall thickness of the preform and a pressing auxiliary device matched with the inner hole size of the piercing preform 3 are used for the moving and compaction operation.

[0093] S6, carbon fiber replacing Z direction steel needle: the X-Y direction composite structure obtained in S5 is fixed by using a thickness maintaining device and is moved to a steel needle replacing workbench. According to the design requirement of the preform, 1K, 3K or 6K carbon fiber is used to complete the steel needle replacement in sequence and horizontally and reciprocally row by row until the used piercing steel needle 1 is completely replaced, and the chain type lock weaving of the X-Y direction composite structure is realized, and the piercing preform 3 is obtained.

[0094] Comparative Example 1:

[0095] A carbon fiber piercing preform 3 formed by a traditional method, with a volume density of 0.75 g / cm 3 , Z direction fibers are double 6K carbon fibers with a spacing of 2.4 mm; the X-Y direction is formed by laminating and compacting composite unit layers of 12K carbon fiber woven weftless cloth / carbon fiber net tire; after forming the piercing preform with an outer size of 500 mm x 500 mm x 300 mm, it is cut into a hollow octagonal prism piercing preform with an effective outer diameter of 500 mm, an effective inner diameter of 200 mm and a height of 300 mm. The corresponding piercing preform forming actual replacement steel needle is 43681, and the weight of the cut part of the preform is 16.6 Kg (becoming solid waste).

[0096] By comparing Example 1, Example 2 and Comparative Example 1, it can be concluded that:

[0097] In Example 1 and Example 2, the piercing preform 3 forming actual replacement steel needle is 30340, and the preform does not need to be cut after forming, and can directly realize the forming of the near-net-size piercing preform 3; because the steel needle used in the forming process is reduced by 30.6% compared with Comparative Example 1, the stitch resistance and compaction pressure value during forming are effectively reduced, and the steel needle replacement amount is also reduced, which is more suitable for the forming of large-size piercing preform 3 parts. By introducing the operation of laying yarn, the hoop strength is increased, the fiber content is improved, and the ablation performance is improved.

[0098] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.

Layup material preparation: Based on the XY dimensions of the piercing preform to be woven, cut the raw material into planar layups of regular n-sided polygons with a central opening, n=4m, m=2,3,4… …; S2. Needle selection and arrangement: Based on the size and shape of the planar layup cut in S1, the thickness of the puncture preform to be woven, and the Z-axis fiber spacing parameters, select appropriate length, diameter, and number of puncture steel needles; arrange the selected puncture steel needles on the steel needle array limiting device according to the shape of the planar layup; S3, Steel needle array holding: Based on the Z-axis fiber spacing parameters of the piercing preform to be woven, an array holding device of corresponding size is added to the steel needle array arranged in S2. S4, Needling and Yarn Laying: Select multiple planar lay-ups obtained from S1, overlap them vertically, and lay them on top of the steel needle array obtained in S3. Use a template to insert the multiple planar lay-ups into the steel needle array. Then, using continuous carbon fiber filaments, one or more cycles of yarn laying operations are performed in the gaps between the piercing steel needles of the steel needle array above the planar layup, according to the yarn laying rules; the piercing and yarn laying operations are repeated until the thickness of the pierced preform to be woven is reached, and the composite structure to be compacted is obtained. S5. Compaction: The composite structure to be compacted obtained in S4 is moved to a pressurizing device for compaction operation. The planar layup in the XY direction is compacted to the design density value to obtain the composite structure in the XY direction. S6. Replacement of Z-direction steel needles with carbon fiber: The XY-direction composite structure obtained in S5 is fixed with a thickness holding device and moved to the steel needle replacement worktable. Using carbon fiber, the steel needles are replaced row by row in a horizontal reciprocating motion until the puncture steel needles are replaced, and a puncture preform is obtained.

Fourth layer of yarn laying: The entire laying path of the second layer of yarn is mirrored symmetrically in a direction parallel to the yarn direction of the first yarn, thus obtaining the laying path of the fourth layer of yarn. Once all four layers of yarn have been laid, one cycle of yarn laying operation is complete.
