Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of composite material molding, in particular to a composite material transfer molding die and a molding method. Background Art

[0002] In some special operation fields, due to the high temperature requirements of the equipment working environment, it is necessary to install a fairing insulation on the outside. The fairing must meet certain requirements of pressure resistance, deformation resistance and good subsequent processing performance. The early fairing was made by fixing the lower metal sheet and the upper heat protection layer. The heat protection layer is a composite material formed by fiber reinforcement and resin, and is processed and formed by a composite hydraulic press through a composite molding transfer method.

[0003] There are two general fairing molding process methods. One molding method is to directly transfer the fiber-reinforced resin molding into a heat-resistant layer, and then use bonding to fix the metal sheet and the molded heat-resistant layer. However, under high temperature conditions, bonding is prone to debonding and stratification, so this method cannot connect the metal sheet and the heat-resistant layer well, and the process is complicated.

[0004] The other is to integrally form the metal sheet and the fiber reinforcement through a composite material molding transfer process, that is, directly lay the embedded metal sheet on the appropriate position of the punch of the mold during laying, and then lay the fiber reinforcement on the concave mold of the mold. After closing the mold, the composite material molding transfer is used for molding. This molding method does not have positioning when laying the metal sheet, resulting in inaccurate positioning between the fiber reinforcement and the metal sheet, and easily forming an edge effect during the molding process, which leads to easy stratification between the metal sheet and the heat protection layer after molding, and uneven thickness of the molded parts.

[0005] To this end, there is a publicly available technology on the market that proposes a resin molding transfer process forming method and mold for a cable fairing, which is used to integrally form metal sheets and heat protection layers. The forming method includes mold processing, pre-embedding of metal sheets, laying of fiber reinforcements, mold assembly, connecting pipelines, airtightness inspection, resin heating, mold heating, resin pressurized injection, and demolding steps after curing; the forming mold includes a lower pressure plate, a punch, a die, an upper pressure plate, a sealing ring, a glue injection joint, a small nut, a screw, a large nut, and a glue outlet joint. The cavities of the die and the punch match the shape of the cable fairing; a rectangular sealing groove for installing a sealing ring is provided on the contact surface of the punch, the die, the lower pressure plate, and the punch. The forming efficiency is high and the quality is stable using this method and mold;

[0006] However, with the gradual improvement of product process requirements, some metal plates used for insulation do not have through holes, and both the upper and lower surfaces require molded heat-proof layers. The above-mentioned public technology cannot process such products. Therefore, it is necessary to improve and optimize the composite material transfer molding mold and molding method.

The vertical distance between the lower end of the second push rod 18 and the lower wall of the movable plate 11 is consistent with the vertical distance between the upper wall of the first insert column 1501 and the upper wall of the second insert column 1601. The cylinder 10 extends the shaft to extend, driving the movable plate 11 to descend, and then driving the outer insert 16 to descend through the multiple sets of first push rods 17. During the first injection of glue After precooling, the position of the metal sheet 1 can be maintained by the first injected resin that is initially solidified after precooling, so that the outer insert 16 can be separated from the metal sheet 1. At the same time, after the inner insert 15 and the outer insert 16 are completely pulled out, they are flush with the upper wall of the male module 5, thereby forming a complete male mold cavity surface and maintaining the surface integrity of the finished product. The inner insert 15 can stop moving earlier than the outer insert 16 through the second ejector 18 that is separately provided, and then the flow direction of the resin is changed by the gradual fitting of the conical surface and the conical mouth in combination with the second sealing member 25, so that the resin flows toward the positioning groove 101 of the metal sheet 1 to supplement the cavity formed after the insert device is withdrawn;

[0042] In order to maintain the distance between the cone mouth and the cone surface during the first injection of glue, a second linkage structure is arranged between the first flange plate 1502 and the second flange plate 1602, and the second linkage structure includes a spring 32, a hanging pin 29 and an anti-slip head 30. A mounting hole 31 is arranged on the upper wall of the first flange plate 1502, and the spring 32 is arranged on the inner wall of the mounting hole 31. The upper end of the spring 32 abuts against the lower wall of the second flange plate 1602. A step hole 28 is arranged on the inner wall of the first flange plate 1502 and located on the outside of the mounting hole 31. The hanging pin 29 is fixedly connected to the lower wall of the second flange plate 1602 and is opposite to the step hole 28 up and down, and the hanging pin 29 is away from the second flange One end of plate 1602 passes through the inner wall of the first flange plate 1502 and extends into the stepped hole 28. The anti-slip head 30 is arranged at one end of the hanging pin 29 extending into the stepped hole 28. The first flange plate 1502 and the second flange plate 1602 are kept separated by the spring 32. The first flange plate 1502 is connected to the second flange plate 1602 through the hanging pin 29 and the anti-slip head 30. The first flange plate 1502 is suspended under the outer insert 16 through the anti-slip head 30, and the distance between the cone mouth and the cone surface is maintained during the first injection of glue by the spring 32, ensuring that the resin can enter the second injection hole 22 from the first injection hole 20 during the first injection of glue.

[0043] According to the above-mentioned molding method of a composite material transfer molding die, the molding method comprises the following steps:

[0044] S1. Apply a release agent on the opposite side of the male module 5 and the female module, lay a part of the fiber reinforcement on the upper wall of the male module 5 and the other part in the female module, place the metal plate 1 on the upper wall of the male module 5, and position and support it by putting the positioning groove 101 on the end of the second insert column 1601 protruding from the upper wall of the male module 5;

[0045] S2, mold closing, close the upper mold part and the lower mold part, and lock them, the lower mold plate 4 and the concave mold block are sealed by a sealing strip, the electric control reversing valve is switched to the air extraction device connected to the high-pressure connecting pipe 12, and the air extraction device sucks away the air near the metal plate 1 through the high-pressure connecting pipe 12, the injection hole 19, the first injection hole 20 and the second injection hole 22;

[0046] S3, glue injection, the mold is heated to the resin melting temperature in an oven, and the mold is switched to the resin pressure injection device and connected to the high-pressure connecting pipe 12 through the electric control reversing valve. The resin pressure injection device measures the heated and melted resin and injects it into the space between the male module 5 and the female module through the high-pressure connecting pipe 12, the glue injection hole 19, the first injection hole 20 and the second injection hole 22 to infiltrate the fiber reinforcement to form a composite material and wrap the metal plate 1. After reaching the specified injection amount, it is cooled for 20 minutes for pre-curing;

[0047] S4, core pulling, after pre-curing is completed, the cylinder 10 extends the shaft to drive the movable plate 11 to move downward. During the downward movement of the movable plate 11, the outer insert 16 is driven to move downward synchronously by multiple sets of first push rods 17, and the outer insert 16 drives the inner insert 15 to move downward synchronously. The second injection hole 22 is shielded by the side wall of the insert hole 14. While the movable plate 11 moves downward, the resin pressure injection device continues to meter the heated and melted resin through the high-pressure connecting pipe 12, the injection hole 19, and the first injection hole 20 toward the outer insert 16 and the inner insert 15. The resin is injected into the cavity that appears. After the multiple sets of second push rods 18 on the lower wall of the inner insert 15 contact the anti-wear block 13, they stop moving downward. The movable plate 11 and the outer insert 16 continue to move downward. The cylinder 10 extends the shaft and pushes the movable plate 11 to move until the lower wall of the movable plate 11 abuts against the upper wall of the lower die seat 2. At this time, the cavity that appears after the inner insert 15 and the outer insert 16 move downward is filled with resin that enters the cavity from between the cone surface and the cone head. At the same time, the upper end of the inner insert 15 and the upper end of the outer insert 16 are flush with the upper wall of the convex module 5, and pressure begins to be applied between the upper die portion and the lower die portion.

[0048] S5. After the core pulling is completed, the mold is pushed back into the oven for heating and cooled to room temperature again. The finished product is taken out after the mold is opened.

[0049] Working principle: In this embodiment, the upper mold part and the lower mold part are basically consistent with the structure of the composite material transfer molding mold in the prior art. This embodiment focuses on improving and optimizing the support and positioning of the metal plate 1. The metal plate 1 is positioned and supported by the insert device. While positioning and supporting, the melted resin is injected into the mold cavity through the insert device. After pre-cooling, the metal plate 1 is impregnated with the fiber reinforcement by the first injected resin to form a composite material wrapping, and then the insert device continues to inject glue while withdrawing, and the resin is injected into the cavity left after the insert device is withdrawn. After pressurization, the whole is sent into the oven for heating, cooling, curing and molding, which solves the problem that the metal plate 1 without holes cannot be positioned during molding and the problem that the metal plate 1 cannot be double-sided molded;

[0050] In the initial state, the outer insert 16 protrudes from the upper wall of the male module 5. The protruding height of the outer insert 16 can be controlled by controlling the extension length of the cylinder 10, so as to control the distance between the metal plate 1 and the upper wall of the male module 5 after being lifted by the outer insert 16. After the positioning groove 101 on the metal plate 1 is sleeved on the upper end of the outer insert 16, a positioning effect is formed. During the injection process, the metal plate 1 will not be driven and deviated by the flowing resin; the heated resin is pressurized by the resin pressure injection device and then enters the high-pressure connecting pipe 12 from the injection nozzle 6, enters the injection hole 19 along the high-pressure connecting pipe 12, and passes through the first injection hole 20 and the second injection hole 22 enters between the convex module 5 and the metal plate 1; during the first injection of glue, the third seal 27 is used to seal, so that the molten resin will not overflow from between the inner wall of the insert hole 14 and the outer wall of the second insert column 1601. The two sets of second wear-resistant rings 26 can reduce the wear between the inner wall of the insert hole 14 and the outer wall of the second insert column 1601; during the first injection of glue, the first seal 24 is used to seal between the outer wall of the first insert column 1501 and the inner wall of the matching hole 21. During the second injection of glue, after the conical surface of the first insert column 1501 contacts the second seal 25, the injection direction no longer enters the second injection hole from the first injection hole 20 The perforation 22 is redirected from the first injection hole 20 into the space between the conical surface and the conical mouth and output from the upper mouth of the matching hole 21, and enters the cavity formed after the insert device is separated from the metal plate 1, so as to realize the secondary injection of glue; the cylinder 10 extends the shaft to make an extension action, driving the movable plate 11 to descend, and then driving the outer insert 16 to descend through multiple sets of first push rods 17. After the first injection of glue is pre-cooled, the position of the metal plate 1 can be maintained by the fixing inside which the resin injected for the first time is initially solidified after pre-cooling, so that the outer insert 16 can be separated from the metal plate 1, and at the same time, after the inner insert 15 and the outer insert 16 are completely pulled out, they are flush with the upper wall of the convex module 5, and then the outer insert 16 is separated from the metal plate 1. A complete convex mold cavity surface is formed to maintain the surface integrity of the finished product. The inner insert 15 can stop moving earlier than the outer insert 16 through the separately arranged second push rod 18, and then the flow direction of the resin is changed through the gradual fitting of the conical surface and the conical mouth combined with the second sealing member 25, so that the resin flows toward the positioning groove 101 of the metal sheet 1 to supplement the cavity formed after the insert device is withdrawn; the first flange plate 1502 is suspended under the outer insert 16 through the anti-slip head 30, and the distance between the conical mouth and the conical surface during the first injection is maintained by the spring 32, ensuring that the resin can enter the second injection hole 22 from the first injection hole 20 during the first injection.
