Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of prepreg tape preparation, and in particular, relates to a continuous carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic prepreg tape preparation device and a use method. Background Art

[0002] Prepreg tape refers to a kind of strip prepreg made of parallel continuous fibers or unidirectional fabrics impregnated with resin. There are two types: thermosetting and thermoplastic. Thermoplastic carbon fiber composite materials have the advantages of good weather resistance, high fatigue strength, strong processability, low cost and recyclability, and have become a hot spot of industry attention. Thermoplastic resins include PA / PP / PPS / PEEK, etc. The composition of thermoplastic composite materials is becoming more and more complex, and their application in many fields is gradually increasing, especially in the field of aerospace. At present, foreign scholars have used the in-situ consolidation of thermoplastic composite materials PEEK and the joint consolidation of aircraft skins and trusses to strengthen the fuselage structure. The premise for achieving high-quality molding of thermoplastic continuous carbon fiber composite materials is to have a high-stability thermoplastic carbon fiber composite prepreg tape. Some properties of the prepreg tape are directly brought into the composite material, which is the basis of the composite material. The performance of the composite material depends to a large extent on the performance of the prepreg.

[0061] Optionally, a method for using a continuous carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic prepreg tape preparation device comprises the following steps:

[0062] S1: The carbon fiber installed on the creel 1 is led out at a certain speed through the front traction roller 2 so that multiple layers of carbon fiber can form a plane and be evenly distributed;

[0063] S2: The carbon fibers are uniformly treated by the yarn spreading device 3 and then enter the dipping box 5 for dipping;

[0064] S3: soaking the continuous carbon fiber in the thermoplastic resin in the dipping box 5. When the carbon fiber is in the dipping box 5, the liquid is made uniform by a stirring mechanism;

[0065] S4: After the carbon fiber is immersed in the dipping box 5, the glue on the upper and lower surfaces is scraped off by the scraping device 7, and the carbon fiber is wound on the winding device 9 after passing through the rear traction roller 8;

[0067] Furthermore, a liquid adding port is provided on the top wall of the dipping box 5, and a liquid outlet is provided on the bottom wall, and both the liquid adding port and the liquid outlet are provided with one-way valves.

[0068] Furthermore, the present application is applicable to two types of glue:

[0069] 1. Traditional resin glue: pour the finished resin glue into the dipping box 5, and make it uniform in shape in the dipping box 5 through the stirring mechanism of the present application;

[0070] 2. A solution of PEEK powder and chlorophenol (preferably, 1-2 g of PEEK powder is added to 10 g of chlorophenol). First, the chlorophenol is heated to about 180-200°C, and then the PEEK powder is slowly added. The temperature is maintained constant and stirred to gradually disperse the powder in the solvent. After the dispersion is completed, the solution is cooled to room temperature.

[0071] The prepared solution is poured into the dipping box 5, and the stirring mechanism of the present application is used to make the shape of the solution in the dipping box 5 uniform. The liquid level of the glue in the dipping box 5 is slightly lower than the through hole 50.

[0072] Among them, a slider 520 is fixedly installed on the rear wall of the support plate 52, and the slider 520 is vertically slidably connected to the inner rear wall of the dipping box 5.

[0073] There are multiple stirring mechanisms with different heights. Preferably, the stirring mechanisms at both sides are higher than the stirring mechanism in the middle.

[0074] Furthermore, a shell 521 is fixedly mounted on the front wall of the support plate 52, that is, the component located on the front wall of the support plate 52 is always located in the shell 521 to avoid contact with the glue; the bottom wall of the shell 521 is provided with a lower channel for the cylinder 55 to rotate, and a sealing ring is provided between the lower channel and the cylinder 55 to prevent the glue from seeping in.

[0075] The yarn spreader is one or a combination of a mechanical yarn spreader rod, an ultrasonic yarn spreader, an air flow yarn spreader, and an electrostatic yarn spreader.

[0076] The lateral distance between two adjacent rollers 44 is greater than the maximum distance between two stirring blades 57 on a stirring mechanism. That is, when the stirring blade 57 is at the lowest end, it will not touch the prepreg tape, and the stirring blade 57 is always in the glue liquid.

[0077] Working principle:

[0078] When in use: the base cloth can be connected to the front end of the carbon fiber, so that the base cloth passes through the creel 1, the front traction roller 2, the yarn unwinding device 3, and the dipping box 5 in sequence. The base cloth first passes through the through hole 50 on the left side in the dipping box 5, enters between the left driving roller 51 and the lower driving roller 511, and then is successively wound from the roller 44 of the upper material guide assembly 4 to the roller 44 of the lower material guide assembly 4, and finally is wound out from the right end roller 44 of the upper material guide assembly 4, passes between the right driving roller 51 and the lower driving roller 511, passes through two scrapers 73, passes through the right through hole 50, enters the rear traction roller 8, and is wound by the winding device 9;

[0079] The processing method of the glue liquid is as follows: start the rotating motor A61 to drive the circular plate 62 to rotate in situ along its center, drive the upper end of the connecting rod 63 to make a circular motion around the outer side of the center of the circular plate 62, and the lower end of the connecting rod 63 drives the lifting rod 64 to move vertically along the guide sleeve 65, so that the support plate 52 can move up and down; at the same time, start the rotating motor B59 to drive the active bevel gear 58 to rotate in situ, and the active bevel gear 58 drives the two driven bevel gears 54 meshing with it to rotate in situ around the bearing seat 53, thereby driving the cylinder 55 and the round rod 56 to rotate in opposite directions; while the driven bevel gears 54 on the upper and lower sides rotate in reverse in situ, the support plate 52 moves up and down, and the glue liquid is stirred, so that the carbon fiber can be evenly soaked in the glue liquid;

[0080] The carbon fiber soaking path is adjusted by starting the lifting cylinder 41 to slide the two connecting plates 42 at the lower end upward or downward ( Figure 2 In the embodiment, the two connecting plates 42 at the lower end are in the lowest state), thereby driving the roller 44 of the lower end material guide assembly 4 to move up and down, so that the distance between the lower end roller 44 and the upper end roller 44 changes, thereby changing the path length of the carbon fiber in the dipping box 5, and changing the soaking time of the carbon fiber in the dipping box 5 while keeping the carbon fiber transmission speed unchanged;

[0081] The working mode of the scraper device 7 is as follows: the distance between the two scrapers 73 at one end is slightly smaller than the thickness of the carbon fiber after being dipped in glue. When the dipped carbon fiber moves along the forward direction, the two scrapers 73 scrape the glue on the upper and lower surfaces of the carbon fiber.

[0082] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
