Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of composite material molding, and in particular to a method for connecting a composite material and a metal skeleton based on a mold cavity of unequal thickness. Background Art

[0002] Fiber-reinforced resin-based composite materials are high-performance materials with excellent stiffness, mechanical properties, shock absorption and weight reduction effects. They are widely used in the shipbuilding field such as yachts and luxury cruise ships. In the molding process of thick composite materials, most of them involve the connection between the composite material and the metal frame structure. The connection structure and molding quality of the two directly affect the safety and stability of the overall structure.

[0003] At present, most thick composite materials containing metal frames are formed by vacuum-assisted processes. The connection area between the composite material and the metal frame is mainly formed by pre-forming a preform, and then integrated forming. The patent application number CN202210668419.9 in the prior art discloses a method for connecting an integrated composite skin and a skeleton, including the following steps: (1) processing the mold according to the structure of the skeleton; (2) laying reinforcing materials on the surface of the mold, sealing the mold, and curing and forming a U-shaped connector according to the process requirements; (3) demolding the U-shaped connector; (4) gluing and wrapping the inner cavity of the U-shaped connector on the skeleton; (5) integrally forming the outer side of the U-shaped connector with the composite skin. The method for connecting the composite skin and the skeleton mentioned in the patent is to pre-form a composite preform and then integrate the composite skin. The molding accuracy of this type of molding method is mainly controlled by the mold closing technology. When the resin is poured, the composite material is located between the metal skeleton and the mold. In addition to the pressure of the vacuum, the composite material under the metal frame is also subjected to the pressure caused by the deadweight of the metal frame. Although the gap between the composite material and the mold can be accurately controlled in the early stage of mold closing, the slight difference in the mold closing gap will cause uneven force on the composite material under the metal frame. The gaps between some composite material layers with large force are smaller, while the gaps between some composite material layers with small force are larger. The unevenness of the gap makes the mold cavity between the metal skeleton and the mold unequal in thickness, which makes the resin flow rate different during vacuum infusion. The resin is difficult to penetrate completely at the location with small gap, that is, the location with greater pressure from the metal frame, which greatly affects the molding quality and structural strength of the connection area between the composite material and the metal frame.

[0004] How to design a composite material connection area forming method based on unequal thickness mold cavities to improve the forming quality of the connection structure between composite materials and metal structures in large thickness unequal thickness mold cavities is a key issue that needs to be urgently solved in this field.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the invention

The descriptions of "first", "second", etc. mentioned in the embodiments of the present invention are only for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but they must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in the field to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0037] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0038] In the prior art, when the connection area between the composite material and the metal skeleton 8 is formed, the thickness of the mold cavity between the metal skeleton 8 and the mold 1 is not equal, which makes the resin flow rate different during vacuum infusion. The position with greater pressure from the metal skeleton 8 is difficult for the resin to penetrate completely, which greatly affects the molding quality and structural strength of the connection area between the composite material and the metal skeleton 8.

[0039] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention proposes a method for connecting a composite material and a metal skeleton based on a mold cavity of unequal thickness, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the thickness of the preform in the connection area is thinned, and the flexible fabric 3 is laid on the lower panel fiber material 6 and the upper panel fiber material 2. The good flexibility and ductility of the flexible fabric 3 can adjust the gap between the preform in the connection area and the lower panel fiber material 6 and the upper panel fiber material 2, which can effectively improve the molding quality of the connection structure between the composite material and the metal structure in the mold cavity with large thickness and unequal thickness.

[0040] Specifically, the method for connecting the composite material and the metal skeleton based on the unequal thickness mold cavity comprises the following steps:

[0041] S1, making a corresponding mold 1 according to the composite shell plate line shape;

[0042] S2, making a connection region laminate preform 5 as a connection part between the composite material and the metal skeleton 8, which can improve the molding quality and structural strength of the connection structure between the composite material and the metal skeleton 8;

[0043] S3, bonding the transition area core material 4 to the laminate preform 5 to make a connection area preform, and reducing the thickness of the connection area preform by 1 to 5 mm. On the one hand, it avoids the connection area preform being too thick so that the resin is difficult to penetrate the fabric below and avoids molding defects; on the other hand, it provides a laying space for laying the flexible fabric 3;

[0044] S4, filling the polyurethane core mold 7 in the metal skeleton 8 frame to prepare for the formation of the connection structure between the composite material and the metal skeleton 8;

[0046] S6, laying flexible fabric 3 on both the lower panel fiber material 6 and the upper panel fiber material 2, the mold 1, the upper panel fiber material 2 and the flexible fabric 3 form a first structure, and the metal skeleton 8, the polyurethane core mold 7, the lower panel fiber material 6 and the flexible fabric 3 form a pre-structure;

[0047] During the molding process, due to the presence of the flexible fabric 3, the resin can more easily penetrate into every corner of the connection area, thereby effectively improving the molding quality and structural strength of the connection structure between the composite material and the metal skeleton 8;

[0048] S7, after installing the connection area preform and the first core material 9 on the preform, a second structure is formed to prepare for the subsequent molding process;

[0049] S8, buckling the second structure onto the first structure for integrated molding;

[0050] Among them, the warp and weft weaving density of the flexible fabric 3 is reduced by 50% to 80% compared with the upper panel fiber material 2 and the lower panel fiber material 6, and the gram weight of the flexible fabric 3 is increased by 20% to 50% compared with the upper panel fiber material 2 and the lower panel fiber material 6. This design makes the flexible fabric 3 have good flexibility and ductility, and can adjust the gap between the connection area preform and the upper panel fiber material 2 and the lower panel fiber material 6.

There is no lack of glue, bubbles and white spots with a diameter greater than 4 mm inside the upper and lower panel composite materials at the laminate preform 5; second, the resin can more easily penetrate into every corner of the connection area, effectively improving the molding quality and structural strength of the connection structure between the composite material and the metal skeleton 8; third, the connection method is simple, the material is easy to obtain, and the cost is low.

[0053] Specifically, the flexible fabric 3, the upper panel fiber material 2, and the lower panel fiber material 6 are of the same material system, which can ensure their compatibility and bonding strength, thereby further improving the molding quality and structural strength of the connection structure between the composite material and the metal skeleton 8.
