Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aramid paper materials, and in particular to a large-cell high-strength aramid honeycomb core and a preparation method and a preparation mold thereof. Background Art

[0002] Aramid paper honeycomb has a series of excellent properties such as light weight, high strength and high modulus, flame retardancy, high temperature resistance, and low dielectric loss. It has become the preferred core material for advanced composite honeycomb sandwich structures. It has been widely used as a secondary load-bearing structural member in aerospace, rail transit and other fields. It plays an important role in reducing structural quality and improving the processing performance of related parts.

[0003] As described in patents such as CN108215339 A "A high-strength aramid paper honeycomb core and its manufacturing method" and CN 106794653A "Honeycomb structure core with high compressive strength", the traditional honeycomb core preparation method generally includes the steps of gluing, laminating, hot pressing and curing, stretching and shaping, dipping, drying and curing, and slicing the hot-pressed aramid honeycomb paper. Among them, the key to the successful preparation of the honeycomb core is to use a suitable core strip glue to gluing the aramid honeycomb paper. Since the hot-pressed aramid honeycomb paper itself has a high mechanical strength, when the aramid honeycomb paper after gluing and hot pressing is stretched and shaped, if the gluing process is improper or the bonding strength of the core strip glue is insufficient, it often causes quality defects such as cell cracking and deformation, thereby adversely affecting the mechanical strength and dimensional stability of the honeycomb core. In addition, since high-quantity aramid paper has higher stiffness and bending resistance, when its absolute dry quantity exceeds 100g / m 2 In the above, the traditional core strip glue coating and curing process makes it difficult to stretch and shape the multi-layered high-quantity aramid paper into a honeycomb core structure with regular dimensions. Therefore, if you want to increase the quantitative thickness of the aramid honeycomb paper to increase the thickness and support strength of the aramid fiber body in the honeycomb cell wall and develop a high-strength aramid honeycomb core with higher compression strength and shear strength, the traditional preparation process is not applicable. Therefore, further, due to the limited quantitative thickness of the aramid thick paper, the mechanical strength of the honeycomb cell wall is also limited, so that the cell size of the traditional honeycomb core is also limited, and the cell side length is usually in the range of about 1.6mm~5.0mm. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention provides an aramid honeycomb core with large pores and high-strength material properties, which has higher compression strength and shear strength under the same or lower density conditions, as well as a preparation method and a preparation mold for the above-mentioned aramid honeycomb core, to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background technology.

[0021] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention uses a hexagonal lamination mold to heat-press and bond aramid thick paper, and can perform honeycomb lamination shaping on high-quantity aramid paper, thereby obtaining a honeycomb core with larger cell size and thicker cell wall.

At the same time, since the aramid thick paper of adjacent layers is hot-melt bonded by the aramid fiber body, the bonding strength is higher and the bonding thermal stability is better, and defects such as cell cracking and deformation will not occur. In addition, the present invention can also avoid the use of node glue containing organic solvents such as phenolic resin and epoxy resin, so that there is no VOC (volatile organic compound) emission during the hot pressing and curing process of aramid paper, and the production process is more environmentally friendly.

The method for preparing an aramid honeycomb core according to any one of claims 4 to 10, characterized in that: The impregnation resin in step S4 includes at least one of phenolic resin, polyimide resin, polyetherimide and epoxy resin; the number of dipping is 1 to 4 times, and after each dipping, it is dried at 50 to 80° C. for 10 to 30 minutes, and then pre-cured at 90 to 145° C. for 15 to 40 minutes. After the last dipping, it is cured at 160 to 200° C. for 60 to 200 minutes.

12. A large-cell high-strength aramid honeycomb core, characterized in that: It comprises multiple layers of aramid thick paper whose upper and lower surfaces are alternately hot-melt-bonded at equal intervals, and a plurality of through-hole grids with regular hexagonal cross-sections arranged in parallel and at intervals are formed between two adjacent layers of aramid thick paper. A certain amount of impregnating resin material is adsorbed on the surface and inside of each layer of the aramid thick paper. The large-pore high-strength aramid honeycomb core is prepared by the preparation method described in any one of claims 4 to 11.

13. The large-cell high-strength aramid honeycomb core according to claim 12, characterized in that: The impregnation resin accounts for 25% to 80% of the total mass of the entire aramid honeycomb core.

14. The large-cell high-strength aramid honeycomb core according to claim 12 or 13, characterized in that: The side length of the regular hexagonal through-hole grid is 5-30 mm.
