Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of forming molds, and particularly relates to a forming mold and a forming method for a cylinder body with grid ribs. BACKGROUND

[0002] The cylinder body with grid ribs refers to a structure product with grid-shaped ribs on the cylinder structure, such as an inner grid rib cylinder product made of resin-based carbon fiber reinforced composite material. The resin-based carbon fiber reinforced composite material needs to be cured under certain temperature and pressure conditions, and the composite material product is obtained by demolding through a mold, which is a commonly used forming method.

[0003] For large-size product forming, two methods are commonly used at present. One forming method is a hard mold method, which uses a mold made of metal material for forming. This method is suitable for composite material products that are co-cured and formed by using a high-temperature and high-pressure process system (resin curing temperature of 180 DEG C and above, and curing pressure of 0.4 Mpa and above). The other forming method is a composite mold method, which fixes a silicone rubber soft film rib groove on a rigid hard mold (metal mold). The hard mold ensures the basic shape of the composite material product, and the silicone rubber soft film rib groove is used for fiber pre-impregnated yarn winding forming grid ribs.

[0004] The existing cylinder body with grid ribs adopts the existing mold and method, and the product has demolding quality problems. On the one hand, if the hard mold method is used, the cylinder product is difficult to demold, and even if it is demolded, the structure is easily damaged. On the other hand, if the composite mold is used, the size of the cylinder product in the rubber part of the mold is easy to deviate from the design value. In this way, the demolding quality of the cylinder product does not meet the production requirements. SUMMARY

[0005] The application aims to at least solve the technical problem of the demolding quality of the cylinder body with grid ribs to some extent. To this end, the application provides a forming mold and a forming method for a cylinder body with grid ribs, which effectively reduces the difficulty of demolding the cylinder product from the mold, can smoothly separate the material from the mold, maintains the original structure, thereby improving the product quality and meeting the production requirements.

[0006] In a first aspect, the application provides a forming mold for a cylinder body with grid ribs, which is used for manufacturing a cylinder product.

[0035] From the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of the present application are:

[0036] 1. The die of the present application provides a mounting basis for multiple convex ring through the core cylinder, and the multiple convex ring is combined and spliced, which can form a split structure outside the core cylinder for easy disassembly, and provides a die profile on the inside of the cylindrical product. The core cylinder is connected as a support shaft connection basis, the pressure ring is sleeved on the support shaft and connected with the core cylinder, and the multiple concave die block is combined and spliced to form a concave die assembly, which can provide a die profile on the outside of the cylindrical product. Since the convex die block, the pressure ring and the concave die block are made of metal material, the cavity of the cylindrical product is formed by the concave die block, the convex die block and the pressure ring, which can strongly constrain the shape of the cylindrical product. Thus, the cylindrical product can be formed under process conditions, and the formed cylindrical product can have the same size as the designed shape. The dismountable connection of the convex die block and the concave die block, and the dismountable pressure ring form multiple dismountable structures on the outside of the cylindrical product. After the cylindrical product is formed, the entire forming die can be separated from the cylindrical product, effectively reducing the difficulty of demolding the cylindrical product from the die, smoothly separating the material from the die, maintaining the original structure, and improving the product quality, thereby meeting the production requirements.

[0037] 2. The method of the present application first removes the concave die block on the outside of the cylindrical product, which can expose the outside of the cylindrical product. By removing the core cylinder on the inside of the cylindrical product, the remaining die is a dismountable structure. The convex die block is only attached to the inside of the cylindrical product, and the force between the convex die block and each rib of the cylindrical product is limited or non-existent. Thus, the convex die block can be removed, effectively reducing the difficulty of demolding the cylindrical product from the die and smoothly separating the material from the die.

[0063] This application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0064] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2According to the first aspect of this application, a molding die is provided for manufacturing large-sized cylindrical products 500. Large-sized refers to cylindrical structural products with a length and diameter greater than or equal to 1.5m. The cylindrical product 500 is made of resin-based carbon fiber reinforced composite material, but other easily wound materials can also be used. The cylindrical product 500 is cylindrical, with intersecting annular ribs 510 and longitudinal ribs 520 on its inner side. The annular ribs 510 and longitudinal ribs 520 can be arranged perpendicularly to each other. The outer side of the cylindrical product 500 is smooth. The demolding problem mainly lies in demolding the inner side of the cylindrical product 500. The forming mold includes: a punch assembly 100, two pressure rings 200, a die assembly 300, and two support shafts 400. The punch assembly 100, pressure rings 200, die assembly 300, and support shafts 400 are all made of metal. During forming, the punch assembly 100 is located inside the cylindrical product 500, the pressure rings 200 are located at both ends of the cylindrical product 500 and are circular, the die assembly 300 is located outside the cylindrical product 500, and the support shafts 400 are connected to the core cylinder 110. The punch assembly 100 includes a core cylinder 110 and multiple punch rings 120. The core cylinder 110 is a hollow cylindrical shape. Two pressure rings 200 are both annular and are connected to both ends of the core cylinder 110. Corresponding holes are provided at both ends of the pressure rings 200 and the core cylinder 110. The pressure rings 200 and the core cylinder 110 can be detachably connected by screws, bolts, etc. The two support shafts 400 also have corresponding holes with the core cylinder 110. The support shafts 400 and the core cylinder 110 are detachably connected by screws, bolts, etc. The support shafts 400 are bush-sleeved connected to the pressure rings 200. The support shafts 400 are used to support the core cylinder 110 and transmit rotational torque around the axis. The two support shafts 400 can be connected to a drive device, such as a winding machine, so that the die assembly 300 and the punch assembly 100 can be rotated together through the support shafts 400.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The core cylinder 110 is cylindrical and is a hollow annular cylinder. The outer surface of the core cylinder 110 is cylindrical. Multiple punch rings 120 are sleeved on the outer surface of the core cylinder 110. Each punch ring 120 is annular, and the ends of the multiple punch rings 120 are sequentially spliced ​​to form a cylindrical structure. That is, the multiple punch rings 120 can be spliced ​​at their ends to form an integral structure. The punch rings 120 serve as inner surfaces for inner support of the cylindrical product 500. Specifically, the outer surfaces of the punch rings 120 are supported on the inner side of the cylindrical product 500 during molding. The cylindrical structure is attached to the outer wall of the core cylinder 110 and located at both ends of the core cylinder 110. The two opposite outer end faces of the punch ring 120 are respectively set as circular stepped surfaces. The circular stepped surfaces are used to form the two ends of the cylindrical product 500 in the molding process, so that the cylindrical product 500 has two end frames. The punch ring 120 is an annular structure formed by splicing multiple punch blocks along the circumference. That is, each punch ring 120 can be spliced ​​by multiple punch blocks. The multiple punch blocks are detachably connected to the core cylinder 110. Specifically, holes are opened at corresponding positions of the punch ring 120 and the core cylinder 110. Bolts or screws can pass through these holes. The punch ring 120 and the core cylinder 110 are detachably connected by bolts or screws. The die assembly 300 is fitted around the outer periphery of the cylindrical structure, meaning it is located on the outside of the cylindrical product 500. The die assembly 300 serves as the outer surface, providing external support for the cylindrical product 500. The die assembly 300 is formed by splicing multiple die blocks 310 along the circumferential direction of the annular structure. A cavity exists between the die blocks 310 and the punch blocks, which the cylindrical product 500 fills. Both ends of the die blocks 310 are detachably connected to the corresponding pressure rings 200. (Please refer to...) Figure 4 The two ends of the die block 310 and the pressure ring 200 are provided with holes, and bolts or screws can be used to connect the die block 310 and the pressure ring 200 through the holes. Multiple die blocks 310, multiple punch rings 120 and two pressure rings 200 together form a cavity for manufacturing cylindrical product 500. The cylindrical product 500 can be formed using this cavity, which is easy to demold, has good product quality consistency and higher product precision.

[0066] Existing molds suffer from quality issues during demolding of cylindrical products (500mm), resulting in substandard product quality. This is due to several factors. First, existing hard molds have different coefficients of thermal expansion than the materials used. Since the product's coefficient of thermal expansion after curing is lower than that of ordinary metals, the shrinkage of the product and the mold differs during the cooling phase after high-temperature curing. This causes interaction forces between the annular grooves of the multiple metal punches and the annular ribs of the product, making demolding difficult and easily damaging the annular ribs. Second, existing composite molds use soft materials like silicone rubber in certain areas. Due to the high elasticity of silicone rubber, its constraint on the cylindrical product (500mm) is insufficient, resulting in large dimensional deviations in the longitudinal and annular ribs, leading to substandard product quality. Furthermore, silicone rubber suffers from aging and wear during repeated use.

[0067] This application provides a mounting base for multiple punch rings 120 through the core cylinder 110. By assembling and splicing multiple punch rings 120, a easily detachable split structure can be formed outside the core cylinder 110. A mold surface is provided on the inner side of the cylindrical product 500. The core cylinder 110 serves as the connecting base for the supporting rotating shaft 400. The pressure ring 200 is fitted onto the supporting rotating shaft 400 and connected to the core cylinder 110. Multiple die blocks 310 are assembled and spliced ​​to form a die assembly 300, providing a mold surface on the outer side of the cylindrical product 500. Furthermore, since the punch blocks, pressure rings 200, and die blocks 310 are made of metal, the die blocks 310, punch blocks, and pressure rings 200... The cavity forming the cylindrical product 500 provides strong constraint on its shape, allowing it to be molded under the specified process conditions. The molded cylindrical product 500 has the same dimensions as the designed shape. Through the detachable connection of the punch block and the die block 310, as well as the detachable pressure ring 200, multiple detachable structures are formed on the outside of the cylindrical product 500. This allows the entire molding mold to be removed from the cylindrical product 500 after molding, effectively reducing the difficulty of demolding the cylindrical product 500 from the mold. It also allows the material to be smoothly separated from the mold, maintaining the original structure, thereby improving product quality and meeting production requirements.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8In an optional embodiment, the punch assembly has a longitudinal groove 120a and a circumferential groove 120b. The longitudinal groove 120a has at least two, such as two or three, and is arranged along both ends of the punch assembly to form the intervals for manufacturing the longitudinal ribs 520. The circumferential groove 120b has at least one and a half, such as one and a half, two and a half, or three and a half, preferably one and a half. Half of the circumferential groove 120b is located at the end of the punch assembly and arranged circumferentially along the punch ring 120. The half of the circumferential groove 120b of adjacent punch assemblies is joined together to form one circumferential groove 120b. With this design, when an expansion difference occurs between the punch assembly and the cylindrical product 500, the punch assembly... The block can interact with the cylindrical product 500 and detach, solving the problem of axial interference between the multiple circumferential grooves 120b of the integral rigid mold and the multiple annular ribs 510 of the cured cylindrical product 500. The circumferential grooves 120b are set along both sides of the punch block to form the interval for manufacturing the annular ribs. The circumferential grooves 120b can be set in different positions in different punch blocks, and the above-mentioned quantity and position setting must be ensured. The longitudinal grooves 120a and the circumferential grooves 120b are both recessed on the outer surface of the punch block. The longitudinal grooves 120a and the circumferential grooves 120b are perpendicularly intersecting. Since the punch block is arc-shaped along the direction of the circumferential grooves 120b, the circumferential grooves 120b are also arc-shaped. In an optional embodiment, the aforementioned punch ring 120 includes a first punch ring 120, a second punch ring 120, a third punch ring 120, and a fourth punch ring 120. The first and fourth punch rings 120 are located at both ends of the entire core cylinder 110, while the second and third punch rings 120 are located in the middle. Thus, multiple punch rings 120 are combined to form a punch assembly 100. In an optional embodiment, the mating points of the punch blocks of adjacent punch rings 120 form a circumferential groove 120b, or the mating points are flush. That is, in the axial direction of the cylindrical structure, among the adjacent punch rings 120, the positions of the punch blocks correspond to those of adjacent punch blocks, and the mating points of adjacent punch blocks have half a circumferential groove 120b. After the adjacent punch blocks are mated, they together form a circumferential groove 120b. Another mating method is that the mating points of adjacent punch blocks are flush, and there is no gap after mating. Thus, in multiple... After the punch rings 120 are assembled, they can have multiple circumferential grooves 120b; wherein, the end faces of the punch blocks located at both ends of the punch rings 120 are used for the end frame forming of the cylindrical product 500; the longitudinal grooves 120a of the multiple punch blocks corresponding to the same position of all punch rings 120 are located on the same straight line, the positions of the punch blocks at different positions of punch rings 120 are corresponding, and the positions of the longitudinal grooves 120a are corresponding, thus forming multiple parallel longitudinal grooves 120a on different punch rings 120 that extend to both ends of the core cylinder 110.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 9 andFigure 10 In an optional embodiment, the punch assembly includes multiple first punch assemblies 121 and multiple second punch assemblies 122. The multiple first punch assemblies 121 and multiple second punch assemblies 122 are alternately spliced ​​to form a ring structure. That is, at the same punch ring 120 position, the first punch assemblies 121 and the second punch assemblies 122 are arranged as a group, and multiple groups are arranged adjacently and around each other. In the entire ring structure, the first punch assemblies 121 and the second punch assemblies 122 are arranged alternately. This ring structure is the punch ring 120. Each punch ring 120 has the same structure and is formed by splicing the first punch assemblies 121 and the second punch assemblies 122. The two ends of the first punch assemblies 121 and the second punch assemblies 122 are respectively the two ends of the punch assembly 100 or the docking point of adjacent punch rings 120. The two sides of the first punch assemblies 121 and the second punch assemblies 122 are respectively the splicing points of the alternating splicing.

The flange 420 is connected to the shaft 410, and the positioning ring 440 is attached to the flange 420. The positioning ring 440 forms a circular stepped surface on the side of the flange 420. The stiffening plate 430 is connected to the flange 420 and the shaft 410. The flange 420 has a perforated hole. The shaft 410, flange 420, positioning ring 440, and stiffening plate 430 can be fixed by welding. One end of the shaft 410 is connected to the middle of the flange 420, and the other end of the shaft 410 is used to connect to a drive. The device includes a positioning ring 440 protruding from the surface of the flange 420, located on both sides of the flange 420 along with the rotating shaft 410. A stiffening plate 430 is located on the flange 420 facing the rotating shaft 410, with one side of the stiffening plate 430 perpendicularly connected to the flange 420 and the other side of the stiffening plate 430 perpendicularly connected to the outer side of the rotating shaft 410.

[0076] In an optional embodiment, the aforementioned punch assembly, pressure ring 200, and die assembly 310 are all made of ordinary carbon steel, and the support shaft 400 can also be made of ordinary carbon steel. The aforementioned materials can also be hard metal alloys. Hard metal alloys, such as alloy steel, have a wide range of choices. By selecting low-cost materials, the manufacturing cost of the mold can be effectively reduced, and the entire mold has strong structural strength and is not easily deformed. During the molding of the cylindrical product 500, it can provide strong support on the outside of the cylindrical product 500, maintaining the structure of the cylindrical product 500.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 2 A second aspect of this application provides a molding method for manufacturing a cylindrical product 500 using the aforementioned molding die. This molding method is used for molding resin-based fiber-reinforced composite materials, where the cylindrical product is made of resin-based fiber-reinforced composite material, such as resin-based carbon fiber-reinforced composite material. The molding method includes:

[0078] First, install the core cylinder 110 and the punch ring 120 to assemble the punch assembly 100. Specifically, install multiple punch rings 120 on the core cylinder 110. The installation of each punch ring 120 is achieved by connecting the first punch block 121, the second punch block 122 and the cylinder 111. Then, connect the two support shafts 400 to both ends of the core cylinder 110 and fix them with screws or bolts. Then, the two supporting shafts 400 of the mold are clamped by the winding machine to support the mold horizontally. The material of the cylindrical product 500 is then wound around the outside of all the punch rings 120. The material of the cylindrical product 500 is wound and filled in the longitudinal grooves 120a and the circumferential grooves 120b respectively. For example, when winding carbon fiber prepreg, the longitudinal grooves 120a are wound in sequence first, and then the circumferential grooves 120b are wound in sequence. This is one winding cycle. During the winding process, the carbon fiber prepreg is folded over at both ends of the punch assembly 100 and then spread out and adheres to both ends of the punch assembly 100 until the longitudinal grooves 120a and the circumferential grooves 120b are fully wound with carbon fiber prepreg. Then, the two ends are folded over to the end face of the punch ring 120.

[0079] Next, the wound carbon fiber prepreg yarn is subjected to adhesive absorption and compaction. After this treatment, carbon fiber prepreg skin is wound onto the surface of the material and the punch assembly 100 until the skin thickness reaches the required level. The carbon fiber skin is folded over at both ends of the punch assembly 100 and attached to the left and right ends of the punch assembly 100. Then, pressure rings 200 are installed at both ends of the core cylinder 110 and adhesive absorption and compaction are performed. Finally, the die assembly blocks 310 are installed, and the two ends of multiple die assembly blocks 310 are connected to the corresponding pressure rings 200, thus sealing the manufactured material inside the die assembly 300.

[0080] During the winding stage, the punch blocks are positioned by locating pins and connected to the core ring by screws (bolts). However, before vacuuming, the locating pins need to be removed, while the screw (bolt) connection remains. This is necessary so that during the cooling stage after curing, the punch blocks can be pushed axially apart by the multiple annular ribs of the core ring. After winding is completed, the locating pins between each of the first punch blocks 121, the second punch blocks 122, and the core ring 110 are removed, while the connecting bolts remain in place.

[0081] The molding die is fed into the processing device, such as an autoclave. A vacuum film is wrapped around the die, a vacuum is created, and then heating and pressurization are applied. Specifically, the die, after being wrapped with material, is placed into the autoclave. The entire die is wrapped in a vacuum bag with a vacuum nozzle. The vacuum nozzle on the bag is connected to the vacuum nozzle of the autoclave, and a vacuum is created. The product is then heated and pressurized within the autoclave according to the process specifications until it is formed. After the cylindrical product has formed and cooled to room temperature, it is cooled along with the mold within the autoclave.

[0082] During the process of winding the mold in a horizontal state, entering the autoclave, and curing, the mold is supported in a horizontal state by the support shafts 400 at both ends. When flipping it to a vertical state, first remove the concave mold assembly 310 from the outside of the cylindrical product 500 by removing the bolts. Then, remove the pressure rings 200 and support shafts 400 from both sides of the cylindrical product 500 by removing the bolts first and then removing the pressure rings 200 and support shafts 400.

[0083] Then, the core cylinder 110 is removed from the inside of the cylindrical product 500. First, the connection between the core cylinder 110 and each punch assembly is disassembled. The core cylinder 110 is pulled upwards, and then the punch assembly is removed from the inside of the cylindrical product 500. Due to the difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion between the cylindrical product 500 and the mold, each punch assembly can shrink and separate from the inside of the cylindrical product 500 in the radial direction. In the axial direction, the axial length of the cylindrical product 500 is greater than the axial length of the punch assembly. Thus, the multiple annular ribs 510 of the cylindrical product 500 are used to separate the adjacent punch assemblies that form the circumferential groove 120b along the axial direction, so that the punch assembly can be removed smoothly. This avoids interference between the multiple annular ribs 510 of the cylindrical product 500 and the multiple circumferential grooves 120b of the integral rigid punch assembly 100, which would lead to demolding difficulties or damage.

[0084] Existing molding methods present difficulties in demolding the cylindrical product 500. Currently, when molding the cylindrical product 500, a hard mold method is used. After the product cools, it is difficult to separate the cylindrical product 500 from the mold. This is because the coefficient of thermal expansion of the cylindrical product 500 is different from that of the material. Since the coefficient of thermal expansion of the product after curing is smaller than that of ordinary metal materials, the shrinkage of the product and the mold is different during the cooling stage after high-temperature curing. This causes an interaction force to be generated between the circumferential groove 120b of the metal punch and the multiple annular ribs 510 of the product, resulting in difficulties in demolding. This application first removes the outer side of the cylindrical product 500 by removing the concave mold block 310, thus exposing the outer side of the cylindrical product 500. Then, by removing the inner core cylinder 110 of the cylindrical product 500, the remaining molds are all detachable structures. The convex mold block is only attached to the inner side of the cylindrical product 500, and the force between the convex mold block and the ribs of the cylindrical product 500 is limited or non-existent. Therefore, the convex mold block can be removed easily, effectively reducing the difficulty of demolding the cylindrical product 500 from the mold and allowing for smooth separation of the material. Furthermore, the above molding method simplifies the molding process of the cylindrical product 500, enabling it to be molded in one step using a mold.
