During the mission flight of the missile wing, it is easy to cause debonding, resulting in interface stratification, debonding of the intermediate, damage to the wing surface structure, etc., affecting the overall life of the missile wing. In addition, the thickness of the leading edge of the missile wing is particularly thin, and the intermediate is made of foam, honeycomb and other materials, which are thin and easy to break during processing.

[0028] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0029] Embodiment 1:

[0030] S1. Mold preparation: Place the mold on a platform for standby use, wherein the mold includes a lower mold and an upper mold;

[0031] S2. Lower skin layer: Figure 1 As shown, four layers of carbon fiber cloth are sequentially laid on the surface of the lower mold 1 to form the lower skin 5, with a laying angle of 0 / 90°;

[0032] S3. Preparation of sutured encircled intermediates:

[0033] The intermediate body of the wing is a PMI foam structure, and a layer of film is applied to the upper and lower surfaces of the intermediate body to form a film intermediate body 3-2, that is, the film intermediate body 3-2 is an intermediate body with a layer of film attached to the entire outer surface; then, the following method is used: Figure 2 A complete layer of carbon cloth 3-1 is shown to wrap the film intermediate 3-2, and the wrapping method is shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the carbon cloth 3-1 is first spread out, and the adhesive film intermediate 3-2 is placed on the right half of the carbon cloth, and 8mm stitching margins 3-3 are reserved for the upper side, lower side, and right side of the entire adhesive film intermediate 3-2 and the corresponding sides of the carbon cloth 3-1; then the left half of the carbon cloth 3-1 is bent and turned up to cover the upper surface of the adhesive film intermediate 3-2 and is called the upper carbon cloth, and the right half of the carbon cloth originally pressed under the adhesive film intermediate 3-2 is called the lower carbon cloth, and the upper and lower carbon cloths completely wrap the adhesive film intermediate 3-2;

[0034] After wrapping is completed, the upper and lower layers of carbon cloth that are wider than the upper, lower and right sides of the film intermediate 3-2 are stitched and reinforced using a stitching device. The stitching width is 8mm, so that the film intermediate 3-2 and the carbon cloth 3-1 are tightly clamped to obtain a stitched surrounding intermediate 3; since a complete piece of carbon cloth is used, the upper and lower layers of carbon cloth are formed by bending and dividing on the left side of the film intermediate 3-2, so the left side does not need to be stitched and reinforced.

[0035] S4. Upper skin layer: Figure 1 As shown, the sewn enclosed intermediate body 3 is placed on the lower skin 5 on the surface of the lower mold 1, and four layers of carbon fiber cloth are sequentially laid on the upper surface of the sewn enclosed intermediate body 3 to form an upper skin 4, with a laying angle of 0 / 90°;

[0036] S5.Mold closing, such as Figure 1 As shown, the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 1 of the mold are molded together;

[0037] S6. Curing molding, the curing method is hot pressing molding, start with pressurization, pressurization to 0.2MPa. Heat up to 85℃, heating rate ≤3℃ / min, keep warm for 30±5min; then heat up to 120±5℃, keep warm for 120min. After the insulation is completed, cool down to below 60℃, release pressure and demould, cooling rate ≤2.5℃ / min.

[0038] S7. Demolding: Take the solidified product out of the mold, trim the burrs, and obtain the product.

[0039] Embodiment 2:

[0040] The differences between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 include:

[0041] In S2, five layers of carbon fiber cloth are laid in sequence to form the lower skin;

[0042] In the S4, five layers of carbon fiber cloth are laid in sequence to form the upper skin.

[0043] Comparison of embodiments: Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2 were subjected to interlaminar shear tests according to the ASTM C273 test standard, and the samples of the two embodiments were analyzed with the interlaminar shear strength obtained in the test. Under the same test method, the same material, the same carbon cloth, and the same curing parameters, it can be seen from the table below that the interlaminar shear strength of Embodiment 1 is better than that of Embodiment 2. After adopting the new method, the interface strength of the product is stronger, and the interface performance of the product is improved.

[0044] Example 1 Example 2 Interlaminar shear strength / MPa 2.34 1.80
