Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wave-absorbing honeycomb material processing, and in particular to a large-size honeycomb spraying process method. Background Art
[0002] The absorbing honeycomb is classified as a "structure and function integrated absorbing material" and is obtained by impregnating the honeycomb with an absorbing resin glue containing an absorbent. The main components are aramid honeycomb, composite absorbent and bismaleimide resin matrix. The absorbing honeycomb has good post-processing properties and can be processed into components of a certain shape. It is used for stealth components in the fields of aviation, etc. It can also be used alone as an absorbing material.
[0003] The existing production method of absorbing honeycombs is a manual dipping process; the manual dipping process uses a method of repeatedly immersing the aramid honeycomb completely in resin glue, then letting it air-dry, then immersing it again, and then letting it air-dry to allow the absorbent to adhere to the honeycomb surface, so as to achieve the purpose of evenly covering the honeycomb surface with the absorbent.
[0004] The glue liquid is stored in the glue dipping pool. The glue dipping operation requires that the honeycomb be completely submerged in the glue liquid, which requires a certain amount of glue liquid as "priming glue liquid". This part of the glue liquid will eventually need to be scrapped over time, resulting in the utilization rate of the glue liquid being maintained between 70% and 75%.
[0005] In the manual dipping process, due to consideration of the utilization rate of the resin, it has been verified that after the glue solution is dissolved, the resin performance gradually decreases with the extension of time. For this reason, the use cycle of the glue solution is determined to be "four days". However, even so, the performance of the product produced on the fourth day after the resin has dissolved is still lower than that of the honeycomb produced in the early stage of the resin dissolving.
[0006] After the honeycomb is impregnated, the inner plate is filled with glue, and then the glue is left on the inner wall of the honeycomb hole by gravity and manual patting, leaving only a uniform thin layer. However, manual patting has the disadvantage of poor consistency.
[0007] Therefore, the larger the product, the larger the dipping tank is required, and the more finished the product, the deeper the resin glue liquid in the dipping tank is required, which will inevitably lead to problems such as low resin utilization, long glue liquid use cycle, manual dipping, and poor patting consistency. Summary of the invention
[0008] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the background technology, the present invention proposes a large-size honeycomb spraying process method.
[0009] A large-size honeycomb spraying process method proposed by the present invention:
[0010] S1, cutting honeycomb to appropriate size;
[0011] S2, dry the honeycomb, drain the internal water, and put it into the spray pool;
[0012] S3, the glue solution is dissolved and introduced into the glue solution tank for storage;
[0013] S4, the glue in the glue tank is guided to the spraying system on the top of the honeycomb through a flow pump, and the spraying operation is carried out from top to bottom. The excess glue flows back to the glue tank from the spray pool, and is circulated and sprayed to the top of the honeycomb, and the glue is repeatedly dipped;
[0014] S5, vibrating and beating to remove excess glue from the honeycomb, and then airing the honeycomb;
[0015] S6, weighing the honeycomb after airing, if the weight meets the standard, baking and curing the honeycomb to obtain a finished honeycomb, if the weight is lower than the standard, repeating steps S4-S6.
[0016] Preferably, the spray system adopts an aluminum frame, which is fastened by bolts to form a gantry frame, and a slider is slidably connected to the gantry frame, and a spray nozzle is installed on the slider.
[0017] Preferably, a stirring mechanism is provided in the glue tank.
[0018] Preferably, the bottom of the spray pool is set as an inclined slope, and the glue liquid flows back into the glue liquid tank by gravity.
[0019] Preferably, the flow pump adopts a pneumatic diaphragm pump, and the flow data can be determined by adjusting the air pressure, and the spraying air pressure is set within the range of 0.2-0.3MPa.
[0020] Preferably, the spray height is set at 170mm-220mm.
[0021] In the present invention, a large-size honeycomb spraying process method is proposed, and the automatic spraying process is to store the resin glue in a circulation system and repeatedly spray it onto the surface of the aramid honeycomb through a spray head, so that there is no need to fill a large amount of glue in the dipping tank, as long as the glue can meet the circulation requirements and product weight gain;
[0022] The characteristic of the spraying process is that there is no need to immerse the honeycomb in the glue pool. Instead, it is a top-down spraying operation. The gravity of the glue is used to flow down and fill every place on the inner wall of the honeycomb. Finally, the glue flows back to the glue tank through the pipeline and is recycled, which can improve the utilization rate of the resin.
[0023] Therefore, a large amount of resin can be saved. And because the glue liquid is constantly circulating and stirring in the system, it can effectively avoid sedimentation and stratification, improve the consistency of the resin, and also help improve the consistency of product quality;
[0024] Compared with the conventional dipping process, the cost of the spraying process is lower. The total cost of the spraying process product is only about 85-90% of the conventional dipping process.
[0025] Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will be given in part in the following description and in part will be obvious from the following description, or will be learned through practice of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0029] like Figure 1 A large-size honeycomb spraying process method is shown:
[0030] S1, cutting honeycomb to appropriate size;
[0031] S2, drying the honeycomb, draining the internal water, and placing it in the spray pool 1;
[0032] The honeycomb material is transported by the conveyor 4.
[0033] S3, the glue solution is dissolved and introduced into the glue solution tank 3 for storage;
[0034] S4, the glue in the glue tank 3 is guided to the spray system 2 on the top of the honeycomb through a flow pump, and the spraying operation is carried out from top to bottom. The excess glue flows back to the glue tank 3 from the spray pool 1, and is circulated and sprayed to the top of the honeycomb, and the glue is repeatedly dipped;
[0035] S5, vibrating and beating to remove excess glue from the honeycomb, and then airing the honeycomb;
[0036] S6, weighing the honeycomb after airing, if the weight meets the standard, baking and curing the honeycomb to obtain a finished honeycomb, if the weight is lower than the standard, repeating steps S4-S6.
[0037] Preferably, the spray system 2 uses an aluminum frame, which is fastened by bolts to form a gantry frame, and a slider is slidably connected to the gantry frame, and a spray nozzle is installed on the slider.
[0038] The spray system 2 is designed in the form of X, Y, and Z axes, where the X direction is the length direction of the honeycomb, the Y direction is the width direction of the honeycomb, and the Z direction is the width direction of the honeycomb. The height of the spray head is precisely adjusted through program settings, and it moves at a uniform speed on the honeycomb plate to complete the spraying operation.
[0039] The sprinkler head should be able to move regularly to ensure that the honeycomb holes can absorb the glue. It is designed as a hose to facilitate the movement of the sprinkler head.
[0040] The material of the sprinkler head is resistant to solvent corrosion and easy to clean;
[0041] The shape and aperture of the spray head should meet the needs of continuous spraying and discharging. Problems such as bifurcation and poor glue flow should not occur during the construction process.
[0042] Preferably, a stirring mechanism is provided in the glue liquid tank 3. In order to ensure the uniformity of the glue liquid and prevent the glue liquid from settling, a stirring device is designed for the storage tank. Since the solution used is flammable and explosive, this scheme selects an air motor to drive the stirring device. During the spraying operation, the air motor is turned on to stir continuously.
[0043] Preferably, the bottom of the spray pool 1 is set to be an inclined slope, and the glue liquid flows back into the glue liquid tank 3 by gravity.
[0044] Preferably, the flow pump adopts a pneumatic diaphragm pump, and the flow data can be determined by adjusting the air pressure, and the spraying air pressure is set within the range of 0.2-0.3MPa.
[0045] Preferably, the spray height is set at 170mm-220mm.
