Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ship hull forming technology, and in particular to a method for forming composite material compartments. Background Technology

[0002] Composite material hulls are widely used in military vessels. Existing molding methods for military vessels mostly include autoclave molding, hand lay-up molding, and vacuum induction molding. Autoclave molding is known for its high material costs. Furthermore, composite material sections are large structural components, approximately 11m long, 10m wide, and 5m high. Autoclave molding requires large autoclave equipment, which is expensive, has a long construction period, and, as thick-walled components, requires segmented curing. Moving large components in and out of the autoclave is also difficult. Hand lay-up molding has low production efficiency, a long cycle, a harsh working environment, and makes it difficult to control product quality during molding, resulting in lower strength and dimensional accuracy. In the past, vacuum induction molding of hulls involved using wooden molds to create fiberglass molds before vacuum induction. Fiberglass mold molding is complex, has low sealing performance, uncontrollable deformation, and low surface accuracy. It has been found that large fiberglass molds do not offer a significant price advantage compared to steel molds. Using steel molds in composite material section molding effectively ensures the hull's surface accuracy and outer surface quality. Therefore, based on the above description, it is very meaningful to study a vacuum induction molding method that is simple to form, efficient and has high surface quality when dealing with a large composite material hull.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the molding method for the composite material compartment in this invention, step 301 involves the following steps: First, a first layer of felt is laid on the upper side of the deck molding male mold. Then, three cycles of full-surface laying are performed on the first layer of felt. The laying sequence for each cycle is as follows: one layer of [45°, -45°] biaxial fabric, one layer of [0°, 90°] biaxial fabric, one layer of 0° uniaxial fabric, one layer of [90°, 0°] biaxial fabric, one layer of [-45°, 45°] biaxial fabric, and one layer of [0°, 90°] biaxial fabric. Next, a second layer of felt is laid. Two more cycles of full-surface laying are then performed on the second layer of felt. The laying sequence for each cycle is as follows: one layer of felt... A layer of biaxial fabric at [45°, -45°], a layer of biaxial fabric at [0°, 90°], a layer of unidirectional fabric at 0°, a layer of biaxial fabric at [90°, 0°], and a layer of biaxial fabric at [-45°, 45°] are laid, with a total thickness of 12mm. Step 302 involves laying the fabric in three cycles based on step 301. Each cycle consists of a layer of biaxial fabric at [45°, -45°], a layer of biaxial fabric at [0°, 90°], a layer of unidirectional fabric at 0°, a layer of biaxial fabric at [90°, 0°], and a layer of biaxial fabric at [-45°, 45°], with a total thickness of 7mm. Step 30... In step 4, lay-up is performed separately on the interconnected intermediate strong crossbeam foam, intermediate longitudinal girder foam, and side longitudinal girder foam, using the same lay-up method, following interleaved and overlapping lay-up, with staggered overlaps at the overlap joints; the lay-up steps in step 305 are as follows: a full-surface lay-up is performed on the longitudinal deck foam, first laying a layer of [45°, -45°] biaxial fabric, then performing two cycles of full-surface lay-up on this basis, with the lay-up sequence of each cycle being a layer of 0° uniaxial fabric, a layer of [90°, 0°] biaxial fabric, a layer of [-45°, 45°] biaxial fabric, a layer of [45°, -45°] biaxial fabric, and a layer of [0°, 90°] biaxial fabric. Next, lay a layer of biaxial fabric at [90°, 0°], a layer of biaxial fabric at [-45°, 45°], and a layer of felt in sequence. Continue laying layers on the felt, with the following order: a layer of biaxial fabric at [45°, -45°], a layer of biaxial fabric at [0°, 90°], a layer of uniaxial fabric at 0°, a layer of biaxial fabric at [90°, 0°], a layer of biaxial fabric at [-45°, 45°], a layer of biaxial fabric at [45°, -45°], a layer of biaxial fabric at [0°, 90°], a layer of uniaxial fabric at 0°, and a layer of biaxial fabric at [-45°, 45°]. Finally, lay another layer of felt, for a total thickness of 11mm.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the molding method for composite material compartments in this invention, the following steps are performed: Step 401 involves laying the material in two cycles within the mold: the upper part of the inner walls at both ends of the mold is designated as Zone I; the central recessed area at the bottom of the mold is designated as Zone III; the area containing the inner walls of the mold between Zones I and III is designated as Zone II; the areas containing the inner walls at the front and rear ends of the mold correspond to the outer wall of the outer plate. Two cycles of laying are performed within the mold. Each cycle involves laying the first layer of felt as a whole, followed by a first full-surface layup. The first full-surface layup sequence is: one layer of [45°, -45°] biaxial fabric, one layer of [0°, 90°] biaxial fabric, one layer of 0° uniaxial fabric, one layer of [90°, 0°] biaxial fabric, and one layer of [-45°, 45°] biaxial fabric. A first individual layup is then performed at Zone III, with the first individual layup sequence being: one layer of... A layer of biaxial fabric at [45°, -45°], a layer of biaxial fabric at [0°, 90°], a layer of unidirectional fabric at 0°, a layer of biaxial fabric at [90°, 0°], a layer of biaxial fabric at [-45°, 45°], and a layer of felt; based on two cycles of paving, the first separate paving is carried out at the bulkhead, Zone II, and Zone III locations. The paving sequence for the first separate paving is as follows: a layer of biaxial fabric at [45°, -45°], a layer of biaxial fabric at [0°, 90°], a layer of unidirectional fabric at 0°, a layer of biaxial fabric at [90°, 0°], and a layer of biaxial fabric at [-45°, 45°]. This process continues at the bulkhead and Zone III locations. The laying sequence is as follows: one layer of biaxial fabric at [45°, -45°], one layer of biaxial fabric at [0°, 90°], one layer of uniaxial fabric at 0°, one layer of biaxial fabric at [90°, 0°], and one layer of biaxial fabric at [-45°, 45°], followed by a second full-surface layup. A layer of felt is then laid on top of this second full-surface layup. A second separate layup is then performed at the bulkhead, Zone II, and Zone III locations, following the same laying sequence as the first separate layup. A third full-surface layup is then performed. The sequence of each full-surface layup is the same. Based on the third full-surface layup, a fourth full-surface layup is performed at Zone I, Zone II, and Zone III locations. The fourth full-surface layup consists of two cycles. The layup sequence for each cycle is as follows: one layer of biaxial fabric at [45°, -45°], one layer of biaxial fabric at [0°, 90°], one layer of unidirectional fabric at 0°, one layer of biaxial fabric at [90°, 0°], one layer of biaxial fabric at [-45°, 45°], one layer of biaxial fabric at [45°, -45°], one layer of biaxial fabric at [0°, 90°], one layer of unidirectional fabric at 0°, one layer of biaxial fabric at [90°, 0°], and one layer of biaxial fabric at [-45°, 45°]. A layer of felt is laid between the two cycles. The layup is interspersed in four locations and ends simultaneously.After the skin layup is completed, the skin thickness is 28mm in Zone III, 18mm in Zone II, 13mm in Zone I, and 22mm in the floor layer at the bulkhead.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the molding method for the composite material compartment in this invention, the laying step 402 is as follows: based on step 401, a full-surface layup is performed. Two cycles of full-surface layup are performed first. The layup sequence of each cycle is as follows: a layer of biaxial fabric at [45°, -45°], a layer of biaxial fabric at [90°, 0°], a layer of uniaxial fabric at 0°, a layer of biaxial fabric at [90°, 0°], and a layer of biaxial fabric at [-45°, 45°]. After the two cycles of full-surface layup are completed, a layer of felt is laid, and two more cycles of full-surface layup are performed on the felt. Finally, another layer of felt is laid. The thickness of the skin after the layup is 9 mm.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the molding method for the composite material compartment in this invention, step 403 involves laying layers individually on each of the first longitudinal foam layers of the bulkhead floor plate. The laying sequence is two cycles of full-surface laying, with each cycle consisting of a layer of [45°, -45°] biaxial fabric, a layer of [90°, 0°] biaxial fabric, a layer of 0° uniaxial fabric, a layer of [90°, 0°] biaxial fabric, and a layer of [-45°, -45°] uniaxial fabric. Biaxial fabric with angles of 45° and -45°; after two cycles of full-surface layup, a layer of felt is laid, followed by two more cycles of full-surface layup, and finally another layer of felt is laid; the final skin thickness after layup is 9mm, with a 100mm flange; the laying steps in step 404 are as follows: in step 6, layup is performed on various types of foam, with alternating and continuous cross-laying of dry fabric using transverse and longitudinal fibers. Specifically, first, a layer of biaxial fabric with angles of 45° and -45° is laid, followed by two cycles of full-surface layup. The entire surface is laid out in a cyclical manner. Each cycle consists of the following layup sequence: one layer of 0° uniaxial fabric, one layer of [90°, 0°] biaxial fabric, one layer of [-45°, 45°] biaxial fabric, one layer of [45°, -45°] biaxial fabric, and one layer of [0°, 90°] biaxial fabric. Then, another layer of [90°, 0°] biaxial fabric, another layer of [-45°, 45°] biaxial fabric, and a layer of felt are laid out. The entire surface is then laid out again on top of the felt. The layers are laid in sequence as follows: a layer of biaxial fabric at [45°, -45°], a layer of biaxial fabric at [0°, 90°], a layer of unidirectional fabric at 0°, a layer of biaxial fabric at [90°, 0°], a layer of biaxial fabric at [-45°, 45°], a layer of biaxial fabric at [45°, -45°], a layer of biaxial fabric at [0°, 90°], a layer of unidirectional fabric at 0°, and a layer of biaxial fabric at [-45°, 45°], and finally a layer of felt is laid; the layer thickness is 11mm.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of the molding method for composite material compartments in this invention, the laying step 404 involves individually laying layers on each of the longitudinal girder foams of the ship's bottom. Specifically, two cycles of individually laid layers are performed, with the following sequence for each cycle: a layer of biaxial fabric at [45°, -45°], a layer of biaxial fabric at [0°, 90°], a layer of uniaxial fabric at 0°, a layer of biaxial fabric at [90°, 0°], and a layer of biaxial fabric at [-45°, 45°]. After the two cycles of individually laid layers are completed, a first layer of felt is laid, followed by two more cycles of laid layers on top of the first layer of felt, then a second layer of felt is laid, followed by two more cycles of laid layers on top of the second layer of felt, and finally, a third layer of felt is laid. The total thickness of the laid layers is 15 mm, with a 200 mm flange.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment of the molding method for composite material compartments in this invention, the layup step 405 is as follows: individual full-surface layup is performed on each longitudinal girder foam of the ship bottom. Two cycles of individual full-surface layup are performed first. The sequence of individual full-surface layup in each cycle is as follows: one layer of biaxial fabric at [45°, -45°], one layer of biaxial fabric at [0°, 90°], one layer of uniaxial fabric at 0°, one layer of biaxial fabric at [90°, 0°], and one layer of biaxial fabric at [-45°, 45°]. After the two cycles of individual full-surface layup are completed, the first layer of felt is laid, and two more cycles of full-surface layup are performed on the first layer of felt. The second layer of felt is laid, and two more cycles of full-surface layup are performed on the second layer of felt. Finally, one more layer of felt is laid. The total thickness of the layup is 15mm, and the flange is 200mm.

[0018] Compared with existing technologies, this invention has the following technical advantages: This invention uses fiberglass cloth to prepare various components such as decks, outer plates, and transverse bulkheads. When processing decks and transverse bulkheads, layers are laid on flat molds, and then combined with vacuum induction and room temperature curing processes to form the required decks and transverse bulkheads. When processing outer plates, vacuum induction molding is performed directly in a negative mold. For the hull bottom and side panels, different thicknesses of skin are prepared first through regional division. After preparation, positioning longitudinal ribs are installed on the skin of the hull bottom and side panels, and then the entire surface is laid up to achieve… For the remaining 9mm of skin preparation, corresponding longitudinal and transverse foams were fixedly installed on the skins of the bulkhead, bottom, and sides of the hull. Based on this, lay-up, vacuum inlet bags were placed, vacuuming was performed, and curing was carried out in sequence. By dividing the area for positioning, lay-up, and molding, the preparation of the outer skin was completed. Then, various types of foams were installed and laid up on the outer skin in sequence according to the steps. The molding process does not require the use of large equipment, which is simple and reduces molding costs. While meeting the strength requirements, it also ensures dimensional accuracy and appearance requirements, and completes the molding operation of the hull outer skin with high quality and high efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0049] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0050] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0051] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0052] Example 1

[0053] Reference Figures 1 to 21 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a molding method for composite material compartments, which can realize the molding of various components in the compartment and the installation of the compartment without the aid of large equipment, and is easy to operate.

[0054] For ease of labeling, the equipment used for deck forming and the various components in the deck are collectively referred to as deck forming assembly 200, the equipment used for outer plate forming and the various components in the outer plate are collectively referred to as outer plate forming assembly 300, and the various components in the first transverse bulkhead are collectively referred to as transverse bulkhead forming assembly 400.

[0055] A method for molding a composite material compartment includes the following steps: 1. Raw material preparation, comprising unidirectional glass fiber cloth, biaxial glass fiber (45 / -45) cloth, biaxial glass fiber (0 / 90) cloth, chopped strand mat, metal embedded parts, hardwood embedded parts, curing agent, vinyl ester resin, and flame-retardant vinyl ester resin; 2. Mold preparation, cleaning the molding surfaces of each mold and the flat mold 201 with acetone to remove oil, dust, and other excess substances from the mold surface. After the acetone on the mold surface has evaporated, apply 770NC release agent to the mold surface using wiping paper. New molds should be coated with at least 8 layers of release agent, with an interval of at least 15 minutes between each layer to ensure complete curing of the release agent;

[0056] 3. Reference Figures 10-15 The forming of deck 101 includes the following steps:

[0057] 301. Lay the base plate 202 on the positive mold according to the layup design, and complete the layup of 2 / 3 of the skin 202a. During the layup process, the dry cloth joints should overlap by 30mm and the overlap positions should be staggered. Ensure that the layup surface is flat and wrinkle-free. The dry cloth in the flanged area should be fixed with 3M spray adhesive to facilitate the subsequent vacuum system layout. After the layup is completed, install the vacuum inlet system for the base plate 202 skin. After completion, perform vacuum injection. After the injection is completed, cure at room temperature.

[0058] 302. Use a measuring tape, laser level, and chalk line to mark the placement positions of the longitudinal rib foam 203 on the deck. After passing inspection, classify the longitudinal rib foam and pre-lay it according to its location. At the same time, place the prefabricated plate 205 at the bulkhead 314 assembly position (the position where two adjacent longitudinal rib foams need to be combined in the longitudinal direction). The prefabricated plate 205 is made of fiberglass. To prevent the foam from moving, use vinyl ester resin with 5% hardener, mix it evenly, apply it to the bonding surface, and use an iron plate to compact it while waiting for the resin to cure. To facilitate subsequent layup and glue injection, when bonding, mix a viscous resin and use a scraper to scrape the R-corners into an arc shape. After the foam is fixed in place, lay up the entire surface according to the layup design to complete the layup of the remaining 1 / 3 of the skin 202b. When laying up, use wood to hold the R-corners and tap them with a wooden mallet to ensure the R-corners are secure. The corners should be rolled out with dry cloth without any gaps. During the layering process, the dry cloth joints should overlap by 30mm and the overlap positions should be staggered. The layered surface should be flat and wrinkle-free. After the layering is completed, the edges and drainage holes should be trimmed. After the layering is completed, the vacuum bag system should be made using the same glue injection principle as the bottom plate 202 skin. Before bagging, the reserved drainage should be filled with silicone rods. The vacuum bag system should be properly arranged in all the cap-shaped rib R areas (the junction of the positioning longitudinal rib 220 and the bottom plate 202, which is called the positioning longitudinal rib 220 after the deck positioning longitudinal rib foam 203 is laid and cured) to ensure the smooth progress of vacuum glue injection. After the vacuum bag system is completed, vacuum glue injection can be carried out. After the glue is injected, it should be cured at room temperature. After it has basically hardened and stood for 12 hours, the bags can be removed.

[0059] 303. Install longitudinal girder according to the three designed areas. Install several intermediate strong crossbeams 222 foams spaced apart in the front-to-back direction at the upper end of the center position of the base plate 202. Install intermediate longitudinal girder foams 206 on the upper side of the base plate 202 on both sides of the intermediate strong crossbeams 222 foams. In the height direction, two intermediate longitudinal girder foams 206 are stacked together at corresponding positions. In the longitudinal direction, hardwood embedded parts are placed at the positions where two adjacent intermediate longitudinal girder foams 206 need to be combined. In the height direction, precast slabs 205 are placed between the two stacked intermediate longitudinal girder foams 206. The skin on the left side of the intermediate longitudinal girder foam 206 and the skin on the right side of the intermediate longitudinal girder foam 206 are connected. Side longitudinal girder foam 208 is installed on the upper part of the skin on the right side of the girder foam 206. In the longitudinal direction, hardwood embedded parts are placed at the positions where two adjacent side longitudinal girder foams 208 need to be combined. The first side transverse reinforcing foam 213 is installed on the bottom plate 202 on the left side of the hardwood embedded part on the left side of the side longitudinal girder foam 208 and the right side of the hardwood embedded part on the right side of the side longitudinal girder foam 208. Steel plate embedded parts are placed on the side longitudinal girder foam 208 and the middle longitudinal girder foam 206 respectively, corresponding to the positions of the hatch openings to be opened. Resin is applied to the bonding surface for installation and fixation. Then, two layers of felt are hand-laid on the surface for reinforcement and fixation to prevent the steel plate from tipping over and to ensure the safety of the operators.

[0060] 304. According to the layup design, the foam is laid on the middle longitudinal girder foam 206, the middle strong crossbeam foam 222, the side longitudinal girder foam 208, and the first side transverse reinforcement foam 213 respectively. After the layup is completed in each area, the vacuum injection system is arranged in each area. After vacuum injection, the adhesive is injected and cured at room temperature. After it has basically hardened, a heating blanket is used to fully heat up the area to ensure that it is completely cured. After curing, the bag is removed, and visual inspection, hammer tapping test, thickness measurement, longitudinal and transverse spacing measurement, and hardness test are performed (all of the above tests are existing technologies and will not be described in detail). The results are recorded. After all tests are qualified, proceed to step S05.

[0061] 305. First intermediate transverse reinforcing foam is installed on the bottom plate 202 between the intermediate longitudinal girder 207 and the corresponding side longitudinal girder 209 on both sides of the hatch opening. A steel plate embedded part is placed on the side of the first intermediate transverse reinforcing foam opposite to the hatch opening. Resin is applied to the bonding surface for installation and fixation. Then, two layers of felt are hand-laid on the surface for reinforcement and fixation to prevent the steel plate from tipping over and to ensure the safety of the operators. Several second side transverse reinforcing ribs 211 (the part after the first side transverse reinforcing foam 213 is laid and cured is called the first side transverse reinforcing rib 211) are installed on the bottom plate 202 on the left side of the side longitudinal girder 209 on both sides of the hatch opening. Several second-side transverse reinforcing foams 214 are also installed on the bottom plate 202 on the right side of the side longitudinal girders 209 on both sides of the first transverse reinforcing rib 211 on the right. Second-intermediate transverse reinforcing foams and third-intermediate transverse reinforcing foams are installed on the bottom plate 202 on the right side of the side longitudinal girders 209 and the left side of the middle longitudinal girders 207 on the left. Second-intermediate transverse reinforcing foams and third-intermediate transverse reinforcing foams are also installed on the bottom plate 202 on the right side of the middle longitudinal girders 207 and the left side of the side longitudinal girders 209 on the right. There is a gap between the second-intermediate transverse reinforcing foams and the corresponding third-intermediate transverse reinforcing foams.

[0062] 306. According to the layup design, lay the foam on the second side transverse reinforcement foam 214, the first intermediate transverse reinforcement foam, the second intermediate transverse reinforcement foam and the third intermediate transverse reinforcement foam respectively. After the layup is completed in each area, arrange the vacuum injection system in each area. After vacuum injection, cure at room temperature. After it has basically hardened, use a heating blanket to fully heat up the temperature to ensure that it is completely cured. After curing, remove the bag and visually inspect, test by tapping with a small hammer, measure the thickness, measure the longitudinal and transverse spacing and hardness (all of the above tests are existing technologies and will not be described in detail). Record the results. After all tests are qualified, proceed to step 307.

[0063] 307. According to the layup design, lay the foam on the second side transverse reinforcement foam 214, the first intermediate transverse reinforcement foam, the second intermediate transverse reinforcement foam and the third intermediate transverse reinforcement foam respectively. After the layup is completed in each area, arrange the vacuum injection system in each area. After vacuum injection, cure at room temperature. After it has basically hardened, use a heating blanket to fully heat up the temperature to ensure that it is completely cured. After curing, remove the bag and visually inspect, test by hammering, measure the thickness, measure the longitudinal and transverse spacing and hardness (all of the above tests are existing technologies and will not be described in detail). Record the results. After all tests are qualified, proceed to step S08.

[0064] 308. Install deck longitudinal foam 218 on the base plate 202 between the second intermediate transverse reinforcing rib 216 and the corresponding third intermediate transverse reinforcing rib 217. One side of the deck longitudinal foam 218 in the front-rear direction is connected to the corresponding third transverse reinforcing foam, and the other side of the deck longitudinal foam 218 in the front-rear direction is flush with the front side of the base plate 202. Lay it on the deck longitudinal foam 218 according to the layup design, arrange the vacuum inlet system, and perform vacuum injection after completion. After the injection is completed, it is cured at room temperature.

[0065] 309. Demolding.

[0066] For ease of description, the longitudinal foam on the left is named the left longitudinal foam and the longitudinal foam on the right is named the right longitudinal foam. The right side of the deck positioning longitudinal foam 203 to the left of the left longitudinal foam is provided with several positioning transverse foams 204 spaced apart in the front-back direction (the positioning transverse foams 204 are installed in step S4). When placing the longitudinal foam, the left side of the left longitudinal foam is attached to the right side of the left positioning transverse foam 204, and the right side of the right longitudinal foam is attached to the left side of the right positioning transverse foam 204.

[0067] The longitudinal positioning foam 203, the transverse positioning foam 204, and the longitudinal foam components after being laid and cured are respectively called longitudinal positioning ribs 220, transverse positioning ribs 221, and longitudinal reinforcing ribs 219. The combined arrangement of longitudinal positioning ribs 220, transverse positioning ribs 221, and corresponding longitudinal reinforcing ribs 219 forms a space for accommodating small hatches, facilitating the connection and positioning of small hatches.

According to the layup design, the entire structure is laid on the second longitudinal foam 301, third longitudinal foam 303 and outer plate transverse foam 304. During the layup, the dry cloth should be laid in a continuous cross-layup with alternating longitudinal and transverse fibers. After the layup is completed, a vacuum introduction system is set up. After completion, vacuum injection is performed. After the injection is completed, it is cured at room temperature.

[0073] 405. Install several bottom longitudinal girder foams 306 at the designated positions on the bottom of the ship.

[0079] When installing each longitudinal foam section, structural adhesive is used to bond and fix them sequentially from bottom to top. When installing the outer panel transverse foam 304, pre-set supporting wooden blocks are used to support the outer panel transverse foam 304 before structural adhesive is used to bond and fix it.

[0080] 5. Reference Figures 25-28 The forming of the first transverse bulkhead 314 includes the following steps:

According to the layup design, the high-stretcher foams 404 are individually installed on the transverse bulkhead skin 401. During the laying process, the dry cloth joints should overlap by 30mm and the overlap positions should be staggered. After laying, the vacuum infusion system should be set up, and vacuum glue should be injected after completion. After the glue is injected, it should be cured at room temperature. 504 Demolding; 505 First, the outer contour is cut and polished according to the skin cutting line. According to the structural characteristics of the first transverse bulkhead 314, in order to be able to be assembled with the hull, the interference points on the left and right sides are divided to obtain two side transverse bulkheads 314 and a middle transverse bulkhead 314 (the left and right sides of the middle transverse bulkhead 314 can be spliced ​​together with the side transverse bulkheads 314 respectively).

[0084] 6. The forming of the second transverse bulkhead 314 is the same as that of the first transverse bulkhead 314, except that the size is different, which will not be described in detail in this application.

[0085] 7. Prepare two pre-made ballast tank platforms, several bottom flats, and two half-bulls 314;

[0086] 8. Reference Figures 1 to 8The first and second transverse bulkheads 314 are installed into the outer plate 102 respectively. (The assembly methods for the first and second transverse bulkheads 314 are the same. The installation of the first transverse bulkhead 314 will be used as an example. First, connect the two side transverse bulkheads 314 to the inner wall of the outer plate 102, and then assemble the middle transverse bulkhead 314. Specifically, first, mark the theoretical position lines of the transverse bulkheads 314 on the outer plate 102, then use a crane to lift the bulkheads 314 to the installation position, and then repair the longitudinal rib through holes on the bulkheads 314. After all through holes are repaired...) For assembly, first assemble the two transverse bulkheads 314 near the sides of the hull. Align the theoretical line surface of the transverse bulkhead 314 with the theoretical line on the outer plate 102. Check if the upper opening of the bulkhead 314 is vertical near the center. If not, adjust it to be vertical. Then, use timber to support and fix the upper opening, lower opening, and sides of the bulkhead 314. Hand lay-up the connection. After the hand lay-up of the two transverse bulkheads 314 is completed, assemble the middle transverse bulkhead 314. Align the theoretical line surface of the lower opening of the middle transverse bulkhead 314 with the theoretical line of the outer plate 102, and align the two sides with the two transverse bulkheads 314. The three transverse bulkheads 314 are then assembled. 4. After the upper openings are aligned in a straight line and positioned, they are fixed with wooden supports and then handed over to the hand lay-up process to complete the connection, thus achieving the connection between the first transverse bulkhead 314 and the outer plate 102. The first transverse bulkhead 314 and the second transverse bulkhead 314 respectively form large ballast tanks at one end of the front and rear bulkheads 314 of the outer plate 102. A flat hull plate is installed on the upper side of the hull bottom inside the large ballast tank. The ballast tank platform is then installed on the upper side of the flat hull bottom and fixed. The half-bullshoulder 314 is then installed on the upper side of the ballast tank platform, dividing the large ballast tank into two smaller ballast tanks, respectively located on the first side of the hull. Lower I-beams are fixedly connected to the upper side of the keel and the upper side of the two adjacent second side keels (at the middle of the bottom strong beam 307 in the fore-aft direction). Steel pipe supports are fixedly connected to the upper side of the lower I-beams. Upper I-beams are fixedly connected to the upper side of the side longitudinal girder 209 and the upper side of the two adjacent intermediate longitudinal girder 207 (at the middle of the intermediate strong beam 222 in the fore-aft direction). Finally, the deck 101 (with the end where the upper I-beam is located facing down) is installed on the upper end of the outer plate 102, so that the upper I-beam is aligned with the corresponding steel pipe support. The upper I-beam and the steel pipe support are fixedly connected together to realize the assembly of the compartment 100.

[0087] The resin used in the molding of the outer plate 102 is vinyl ester resin; the resin used in the deck 101, the first transverse bulkhead 314, the second transverse bulkhead 314 and their components is flame-retardant vinyl ester resin; the foam core material is PVC foam of appropriate density; the unidirectional fabric and biaxial fabric are both fiberglass fabric, and the felt is also made of fiberglass; after being laid and cured on the first intermediate transverse reinforcing foam, the second intermediate transverse reinforcing foam and the third intermediate transverse reinforcing foam, they are successively called the first intermediate transverse reinforcing rib 215, the second intermediate transverse reinforcing rib 216, and the third intermediate transverse reinforcing rib 217; the components after being laid and cured on the first side transverse reinforcing foam 213 and the second side transverse reinforcing foam 214 are respectively called the first side transverse reinforcing rib 211 and the second side transverse reinforcing rib 210; the component at the position of the longitudinal foam 218 of the deck after being laid and cured is called the longitudinal reinforcing rib 219 of the deck 101; such as Figure 8 As shown, the first and second keels in this application are collectively referred to as the bottom longitudinal skeletons; as Figure 6 As shown, the components prepared at the locations of the cured intermediate longitudinal girder foam 206 and the side longitudinal girder foam 208 are collectively referred to as the deck 101 strong longitudinal skeleton, and the components prepared at the locations of the cured intermediate strong transverse beam foam 222 and the outer plate transverse foam 304 are collectively referred to as the deck strong transverse beam.

[0088] This embodiment can produce the hull section 100 without the need for large-scale hot pressing equipment. The operation process is simple and the molding efficiency is high.

[0089] Example 2

[0090] Reference Figures 22-24 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a molding method for a composite material compartment 100, which further realizes the design of the lay-up in each process of the hull molding process and the vacuum system arrangement and glue injection method of key parts, so as to ensure the reliable molding of each component in the compartment 100.

[0091] The specific laying steps of step 301 are as follows: First, lay the first layer of felt on the upper side of the forming positive mold of deck 101. Then, perform three cycles of full-surface laying on the first layer of felt. The laying sequence for each cycle is: one layer of [45°, -45°] biaxial fabric, one layer of [0°, 90°] biaxial fabric, one layer of 0° uniaxial fabric, one layer of [90°, 0°] biaxial fabric, one layer of [-45°, 45°] biaxial fabric, and one layer of [0°, 90°] biaxial fabric. Next, lay the second layer of felt. Then, perform two cycles of full-surface laying on the second layer of felt. The laying sequence for each cycle is: one layer of [45°, -45°] biaxial fabric, one layer of […]. The first layer consists of a biaxial fabric with angles of 0° and 90°, a uniaxial fabric with angles of 0°, a biaxial fabric with angles of 90° and 0°, and a biaxial fabric with angles of -45° and 45°, with a total thickness of 12mm. Step 302 involves laying the fabric in three cycles, building upon step 301. Each cycle consists of a biaxial fabric with angles of 45° and -45°, a biaxial fabric with angles of 0° and 90°, a uniaxial fabric with angles of 0°, a biaxial fabric with angles of 90° and 0°, and a biaxial fabric with angles of -45° and 45°, with a total thickness of 7mm. Step 304 involves laying the fabric on the connected intermediate crossbeams. Lay-up layers are applied to foam 222, intermediate longitudinal girder foam 206, and side longitudinal girder foam 208, using the same method, following an interlacing and overlapping pattern, with staggered overlaps at the joints. Step 305 involves laying up the entire surface of the deck longitudinal foam 218, first laying a layer of [45°, -45°] biaxial fabric, then performing two cycles of full-surface lay-up. The lay-up sequence for each cycle is: a layer of 0° uniaxial fabric, a layer of [90°, 0°] biaxial fabric, a layer of [-45°, 45°] biaxial fabric, a layer of [45°, -45°] biaxial fabric, and a layer of [0°, 90°] biaxial fabric, then... First, lay a layer of biaxial fabric at [90°, 0°], a layer of biaxial fabric at [-45°, 45°], and a layer of felt. Continue laying layers on the felt, in the following order: a layer of biaxial fabric at [45°, -45°], a layer of biaxial fabric at [0°, 90°], a layer of uniaxial fabric at 0°, a layer of biaxial fabric at [90°, 0°], a layer of biaxial fabric at [-45°, 45°], a layer of biaxial fabric at [45°, -45°], a layer of biaxial fabric at [0°, 90°], a layer of uniaxial fabric at 0°, and a layer of biaxial fabric at [-45°, 45°]. Finally, lay another layer of felt, for a total thickness of 11mm.

[0092] During the above layering process, a right-handed coordinate system is defined, with the length direction of the longitudinal strut foam as 0° and the horizontal direction perpendicular to the length direction of the longitudinal strut foam as 90°.

[0093] The laying steps in step 401 are as follows: the upper part of the inner wall of the left and right ends of the female mold 313 is designated as Zone I; the central recessed area at the bottom of the female mold 313 is designated as Zone III; the area of ​​the inner wall of the female mold 313 between Zone I and Zone III is designated as Zone II; the area of ​​the inner wall of the front and rear ends of the female mold 313 corresponds to the bulkhead 314 of the outer plate 102. Two cycles of laying are performed within the female mold 313. The laying process for each cycle is as follows: first, the first layer of felt is laid as a whole; then, a first full-surface layer is laid on top of the first layer of felt. The first full-surface layer sequence is: one layer of biaxial fabric at [45°, -45°], one layer of biaxial fabric at [0°, 90°], one layer of unidirectional fabric at 0°, one layer of biaxial fabric at [90°, 0°], and one layer of biaxial fabric at [-45°, 45°]. A first separate layer is then laid at the location of Zone III. The sequence is as follows: one layer of biaxial fabric at [45°, -45°], one layer of biaxial fabric at [0°, 90°], one layer of unidirectional fabric at 0°, one layer of biaxial fabric at [90°, 0°], one layer of biaxial fabric at [-45°, 45°], and one layer of felt. Based on two cycles of application, a first separate application is performed at locations 314, Zone II, and Zone III of bulkhead. The first separate application sequence is as follows: one layer of biaxial fabric at [45°, -45°], one layer of biaxial fabric at [0°, 90°], one layer of unidirectional fabric at 0°, one layer of biaxial fabric at [90°, 0°], and one layer of biaxial fabric at [-45°, 45°]. This is applied to bulkheads 314 and I... Continue laying the fabric in Zone II, following the sequence of layers: one layer of [45°, -45°] biaxial fabric, one layer of [0°, 90°] biaxial fabric, one layer of 0° uniaxial fabric, one layer of [90°, 0°] biaxial fabric, and one layer of [-45°, 45°] biaxial fabric for a second full-surface layup. On top of this second full-surface layup, lay a layer of felt. Then, lay a second separate layer of felt at locations 314, Zone II, and Zone III. The second separate layer follows the same laying sequence as the first separate layer. Then, perform a third full-surface layup. The sequence of each full-surface layup is the same. Based on the third full-surface layup, in Zones I, II, and III... The fourth full-surface layup is then performed at the location. This fourth full-surface layup consists of two cycles. The layup sequence for each cycle is as follows: one layer of biaxial fabric at [45°, -45°], one layer of biaxial fabric at [0°, 90°], one layer of unidirectional fabric at 0°, one layer of biaxial fabric at [90°, 0°], one layer of biaxial fabric at [-45°, 45°], one layer of biaxial fabric at [45°, -45°], one layer of biaxial fabric at [0°, 90°], one layer of unidirectional fabric at 0°, one layer of biaxial fabric at [90°, 0°], and one layer of biaxial fabric at [-45°, 45°]. A layer of felt is also laid between the two cycles. The layup is interspersed at the four locations, and the layup is completed simultaneously.After the layup was completed, the skin thickness in Zone III was 28 mm, in Zone II it was 18 mm, in Zone I it was 13 mm, and the layup thickness of the floor plate 202 at bulkhead 314 was 22 mm.

[0094] Since the outer panel 102 is 5mm high, the dry fiber fabric laid on the large facade is prone to falling off and slipping. When laying the entire layer, the dry cloth needs to be extended to the back of the mold. The tension of the dry cloth itself is used to counteract its weight. When using the facade, more 3M setting agent needs to be sprayed. When using, it is necessary to spray a large area 1 meter away from the product. It is not allowed to spray the same area repeatedly. This method can ensure the surface quality.

[0095] When laying the layers, when transitioning from Zone II to Zone I, place strong hooks and magnets at multiple points in the transition area to assist in fixing the layers. When laying the layers in subsequent layers, remove the magnets one by one and lay the dry cloth.

[0096] During the layering process, overlapping is used, and the overlapping joints are staggered to ensure product strength. Each layer is pressed together with a rolling pin to ensure the fabric is flat and free of obvious wrinkles.

[0097] The specific process of arranging a vacuum system is as follows:

[0098] On the outer panel 102 skin, the peeling cloth, the flow guide net, the glue injection pipe, and the breathable felt are laid in sequence. Based on vacuum induction experience, the peeling cloth should cover the entire surface of the product and be flat and wrinkle-free. The flow guide net and the flow guide spiral pipe are laid according to the designed glue injection direction. A speed bump is set on the skin surface of one of the chamber walls 314 to ensure that all glue injection is completed at the same time and to prevent the situation where the lower surface has been glued while the higher surface has not been glued.

[0099] Lay out the vacuum induction auxiliary materials according to the above requirements and fix them with masking tape to complete the vacuum bag production. To prevent the vacuum bag from leaking, make a double-layer sealed vacuum bag. After the first layer of vacuum bag is sealed, check the vacuum degree. It is required that the vacuum degree exceeds -0.09MPa when vacuuming, and the pressure drop does not exceed 0.01MPa after holding the pressure for 10 minutes. After the vacuum degree meets the requirements, seal the second layer of vacuum bag. The vacuum pump system must ensure that the vacuum degree reaches above -0.09MPa for 1 hour before vacuum induction glue injection can be prepared. To prevent resin from flowing into the vacuum pump, a buffer tank must be connected between the glue outlet and the vacuum pump.

[0100] When injecting adhesive, start from the middle of the hull bottom and introduce it to both sides. When it reaches the side chord, simultaneously open the adhesive injection ports on the bow and stern panels and inject adhesive upwards in a sloping manner (see reference). Figure 23 ).

[0101] After the adhesive is injected, it is cured at room temperature. After it has basically hardened, a heating blanket is used to fully heat it to make it completely cured, or it is left to stand for 48 hours before demolding.

[0102] After unpacking and demolding, use calipers or height gauges to check and record the thickness at multiple points. Visually inspect the skin surface for any obvious defects, and use a Barcol hardness tester to perform multiple tests. If the Barcol hardness reaches 40 or above, proceed to the next step.

[0103] The laying steps in step 402 are as follows: based on step 401, a full-surface lay-up is performed. First, two cycles of full-surface lay-up are performed. The lay-up sequence in each cycle is as follows: one layer of biaxial fabric at [45°, -45°], one layer of biaxial fabric at [90°, 0°], one layer of uniaxial fabric at 0°, one layer of biaxial fabric at [90°, 0°], and one layer of biaxial fabric at [-45°, 45°]. After the two cycles of full-surface lay-up are completed, a layer of felt is laid, and then two more cycles of full-surface lay-up are performed on the felt. Finally, another layer of felt is laid. The thickness of the skin after the lay-up is 9mm.

[0104] The laying steps in step 403 are as follows: each of the first longitudinal foams 302 on the bottom plate 202 of the bulkhead 314 is individually laid out. The laying sequence is as follows: two cycles of full-surface laying are performed. The full-surface laying sequence of each cycle is as follows: one layer of biaxial fabric at [45°, -45°], one layer of biaxial fabric at [90°, 0°], one layer of uniaxial fabric at 0°, one layer of biaxial fabric at [90°, 0°], and one layer of biaxial fabric at [-45°, 45°]. After the two cycles of full-surface laying are completed, a layer of felt is laid out, and two more cycles of full-surface laying are performed on the felt. Finally, another layer of felt is laid out. The thickness of the skin after the laying is 9 mm, and the flange is 100 mm.

[0105] Step 404 involves laying layers on various types of foam, with the dry fabric being laid in a continuous, alternating cross-lay pattern of transverse and longitudinal fibers. Specifically, first, a layer of [45°, -45°] biaxial fabric is laid. Then, two cycles of full-surface laying are performed on this foundation. The laying sequence for each cycle is as follows: a layer of 0° uniaxial fabric, a layer of [90°, 0°] biaxial fabric, a layer of [-45°, 45°] biaxial fabric, a layer of [45°, -45°] biaxial fabric, and a layer of [0°, 90°] biaxial fabric. Then, a layer of [90°, 0°] biaxial fabric and a layer of [-45°, 45°] biaxial fabric are laid sequentially. A layer of biaxial fabric with angles of 5° and 45° and a layer of felt are laid on top of the felt. The laying sequence is as follows: a layer of biaxial fabric with angles of 45° and -45°, a layer of biaxial fabric with angles of 0° and 90°, a layer of uniaxial fabric with angles of 0°, a layer of biaxial fabric with angles of 90° and 0°, a layer of biaxial fabric with angles of -45° and 45°, a layer of biaxial fabric with angles of 45° and -45°, a layer of biaxial fabric with angles of 0° and 90°, a layer of uniaxial fabric with angles of 0° and a layer of biaxial fabric with angles of 0° and 45°, and finally a layer of felt is laid. The layer thickness is 11 mm.

[0106] In steps 403 and 404, when laying the vertical layers, each layer of fabric needs to be fixed to ensure that the fabric does not slip. Use a 5mm long drill bit to make holes for the wiring at the top, middle and tail of the wall material. After laying one layer, prepare to insert a silver needle with a single fiber, surround the wiring hole, and sew the fabric to the foam. Use 3M spray adhesive to fix the edge. Repeat this step to lay the fabric for all the wall material cap-shaped ribs (each vertical foam is a wall material).

[0107] Step 405 involves laying individual layers on the foam 306 of each longitudinal girder at the bottom of the ship. Specifically, two cycles of individual layer laying are performed, with the following sequence for each cycle: a layer of biaxial fabric at [45°, -45°], a layer of biaxial fabric at [0°, 90°], a layer of uniaxial fabric at 0°, a layer of biaxial fabric at [90°, 0°], and a layer of biaxial fabric at [-45°, 45°]. After the two cycles of individual layer laying are completed, the first layer of felt is laid, followed by two more cycles of layer laying, then the second layer of felt, and finally another layer of felt. The total thickness of the layer is 15mm, with a 200mm gusset.

[0108] The layup steps in step 406 are as follows: individual full-surface layup is performed on each of the longitudinal girder foam 306 at the bottom of the ship. Two cycles of individual full-surface layup are performed first. The layup sequence of each cycle is as follows: one layer of biaxial fabric at [45°, -45°], one layer of biaxial fabric at [0°, 90°], one layer of uniaxial fabric at 0°, one layer of biaxial fabric at [90°, 0°], and one layer of biaxial fabric at [-45°, 45°]. After the two cycles of individual full-surface layup are completed, the first layer of felt is laid. Two more cycles of full-surface layup are performed on the first layer of felt. The second layer of felt is laid. Two more cycles of full-surface layup are performed on the second layer of felt. Finally, one more layer of felt is laid. The total thickness of the layup is 15mm, with a 200mm flange.

[0109] The layup steps in step 408 are as follows: individual full-surface layup is performed on each side strong beam foam 311 of the ship's side. Specifically, two cycles of individual full-surface layup are performed first. The layup sequence of each cycle is as follows: one layer of biaxial fabric at [45°, -45°], one layer of biaxial fabric at [0°, 90°], one layer of uniaxial fabric at 0°, one layer of biaxial fabric at [90°, 0°], and one layer of biaxial fabric at [-45°, 45°]. After the two cycles of individual full-surface layup are completed, the first layer of felt is laid. Two more cycles of full-surface layup are performed on the first layer of felt, followed by the second layer of felt. Two more cycles of full-surface layup are performed on the second layer of felt, and finally, one more layer of felt is laid. The total thickness of the layup is 15mm, with a 200mm flange.

[0110] During the above layering process, a right-handed coordinate system is defined, with the length direction of the longitudinal foam for positioning the bottom of the ship as 0° and the horizontal direction perpendicular to the length direction of the longitudinal foam for positioning the bottom of the ship as 90°.

[0111] The layup steps in step 501 are as follows: a layer of felt is laid on the upper surface of the flat plate, and two cycles of full-surface layup are performed on the felt. The layup sequence of each cycle is as follows: a layer of biaxial fabric at [45°, -45°], a layer of biaxial fabric at [0°, 90°], a layer of uniaxial fabric at 0°, a layer of biaxial fabric at [90°, 0°], and a layer of biaxial fabric at [-45°, 45°]. After the two cycles of full-surface layup are completed, a layer of felt is laid, and then four cycles of full-surface layup are performed on the felt. After the four cycles of full-surface layup are completed, a layer of felt is laid, and then two more cycles of full-surface layup are performed. The total layup thickness is 19 mm.

[0112] After laying all the fabric sheets, lay the release fabric on the surface of the top layer of fabric, place the flow guide net on the surface of the release fabric (note the direction of the flow guide net), place the corrugated pipe on the surface of the flow guide net, place the glue injection port in the appropriate position, and finally lay the vacuum bag, seal the vacuum bag to the mold, and connect the glue injection port and the glue outlet to the vacuum pump system.

[0113] Connect the vacuum system and check for leaks, blockages, or other issues with the vacuum bag system.

[0114] Prepare the resin according to the theoretical weight of the part, leaving an appropriate margin, and record the resin preparation time, weight, and state.

[0115] Ensure the resin is free of air bubbles before starting the injection process. Strictly follow the process specifications to ensure the resin penetrates all areas of the part. Turn off the injection system and begin the curing process. Use room temperature curing. After it has basically hardened, use a heating blanket to fully heat it until it is completely cured.

[0116] The layup steps in step 502 are as follows: according to the dimensions of each transverse bulkhead longitudinal rib foam 402, cut the sheet and lay it up in two cycles on the transverse bulkhead longitudinal rib foam 402 on the upper side of the transverse bulkhead skin 401. The layup sequence of each cycle is as follows: one layer of biaxial fabric at [45°, -45°], one layer of biaxial fabric at [90°, 0°], one layer of uniaxial fabric at 0°, one layer of biaxial fabric at [90°, 0°], and one layer of biaxial fabric at [-45°, 45°]. After the two cycles of full-surface layup are completed, a layer of felt is laid up, and two more cycles of layup are performed on the felt. Finally, another layer of felt is laid up. The thickness of the skin after the layup is completed is 9 mm.

[0117] For vacuum injection and curing, a separate vacuum system needs to be made and the adhesive is injected from top to bottom. The small edge buttresses can be vacuum injected together with the adjacent large buttresses. After the vacuum bag system is completed, vacuum injection work is carried out in sequence. After the adhesive is injected, room temperature curing is also used. After it has basically hardened, a heating blanket is used to fully heat up the temperature to ensure that it is completely cured (the part that is laid on the longitudinal foam 402 of the transverse bulkhead and cured is called the longitudinal foam 403 of the transverse bulkhead). After curing, visual inspection, thickness measurement, spacing measurement of the skeletons and hardness testing are carried out.

[0118] Step 503 involves the following layup steps: First, lay a layer of biaxial fabric at [45°, -45°]. Then, perform two cycles of full-surface layup. The layup sequence for each cycle is as follows: one layer of 0° uniaxial fabric, one layer of [90°, 0°] biaxial fabric, one layer of [-45°, 45°] biaxial fabric, one layer of [45°, -45°] biaxial fabric, and one layer of [0°, 90°] biaxial fabric. Next, lay a layer of [90°, 0°] biaxial fabric, one layer of [-45°, 45°] biaxial fabric, and one layer of felt. Continue laying on top of the felt. The entire surface is laid out in the following order: one layer of biaxial fabric at [45°, -45°], one layer of biaxial fabric at [0°, 90°], one layer of unidirectional fabric at 0°, one layer of biaxial fabric at [90°, 0°], one layer of biaxial fabric at [-45°, 45°], one layer of biaxial fabric at [45°, -45°], one layer of biaxial fabric at [0°, 90°], one layer of unidirectional fabric at 0°, and one layer of biaxial fabric at [-45°, 45°]. Finally, a layer of felt is laid, with a total thickness of 11mm and a 150mm folded edge. When laying the fabric, the horizontal and vertical fibers should be laid continuously and crosswise, and the rounded corners should be rolled firmly without any gaps.

[0119] During the above layup process, a right-handed coordinate system is defined, with the length direction of the transverse bulkhead longitudinal rib foam 402 as 0° and the horizontal direction perpendicular to the length direction of the transverse bulkhead longitudinal rib foam 402 as 90°. Based on the characteristics of the transverse and longitudinal layup, this support wall material now requires the overall arrangement of vacuum induction auxiliary materials to create a vacuum system. The glue inlet is also placed in the center of the cap-shaped rib panel, and the glue outlet spiral tube needs to be continuously laid in an S-shape around the longitudinal and transverse support wall materials. After the vacuum bag is made, vacuum induction is performed and it is cured at room temperature (the component laid and cured on the high support wall foam 404 is called the high support wall cap-shaped rib 405). After curing, visual inspection, thickness measurement, rib spacing measurement, and hardness testing are performed. After the first transverse bulkhead 314 is completely cured, the auxiliary material is peeled off, and the product is flipped over to facilitate cutting and grinding according to the cutting lines. First, the outer contour is cut and ground according to the skin cutting lines. Based on the structural characteristics of the first and second transverse bulkheads 314, in order to assemble with the hull, the interference points on both sides need to be divided. The arrangement of the vacuum system and the dispensing of adhesive, which are not mentioned in this application, can be achieved using conventional techniques and are not improvements of this application.

[0120] Through the two embodiments in this application, the strength requirements are met while also ensuring dimensional accuracy and appearance requirements, and the overall preparation of the ship cabin is completed with high quality and high efficiency. It does not require the use of large equipment for molding, is simple to operate, and has low preparation cost.
