[0086] S25: Finished product testing, using the three-point bending test method to test the assembled seat cushion to see if the product's bending resistance and rigidity meet quality requirements.
[0087] In this embodiment, the bio-based epoxy resin used is selected from bio-based lignin epoxy resin, vegetable oil-based epoxy resin, rosin-based epoxy resin, bio-phenol-based epoxy resin or sugar-based epoxy resin. By immersing the carbon fiber sheet into the bio-based epoxy resin, the interior of the carbon fiber sheet can be fully soaked and filled with the bio-based epoxy resin, thereby enhancing the connection strength and toughness between the carbon fiber materials.
[0088] Specifically, plant oil-based epoxy resins made from castor oil, soybean oil, and linseed oil; biophenol-based epoxy resins made from eugenol, cardanol, guaiacol, vanillin, tannic acid, gallic acid, and protocatechuic acid; sugar-based epoxy resins made from furan and isosorbide; and other bio-based epoxy resins can also be used to make epoxy resins in this production process.
[0089] In the yarn cutting step S3, the cutting equipment used includes a cutting machine or a manual cutter, which cuts a whole piece or a whole roll of carbon fiber prepreg into several small pieces of carbon fiber prepreg by cutting the whole piece or the whole roll of carbon fiber prepreg.
[0090] Specifically, in the S4 laying step, several pieces of cut and classified small carbon fiber prepregs are stacked in sequence. Among them, in the laying of the carbon fiber prepregs of the seat cushion, the carbon fiber prepregs are arranged from bottom to top at 0°, 45°, -45°, 0°, 90°, 0°, 30°, -30°, 45°, -45°, 90°, and 0°, so that the arrangement directions of the carbon fiber prepregs can be stacked in different directions, thereby enhancing the rigidity, stability and support of the seat cushion.
[0091] Furthermore, in the laying of the bow frame, the carbon fiber prepreg is arranged and stacked in 90°, 30°, -30°, 90°, and 90° from bottom to top, so that the bow frame has good hardness and supporting rigidity after being rolled into a solid rod.
[0092] Furthermore, the stacking arrangement at 0° can increase the longitudinal guiding support force, so that the rider has good stability in the front and rear directions and is not prone to front and rear vibrations of the body; the stacking arrangement at 45° and -45° can enhance the stability in the oblique direction, so that the seat cushion will not easily cause the body to shake, allowing the rider to maintain body stability during riding; and the stacking arrangement at 90° can increase the lateral guiding support force, so that the rider has good stability in the left and right directions and is not prone to body shaking, allowing the rider to always maintain good stability in all directions when riding a bicycle and avoid sliding and dislocation.
[0093] The use of carbon fiber prepreg stacked at 30° and -30° on the bow frame can increase the downward support force, so that the carbon fiber arranged in the longitudinal direction can be supported by the carbon fiber arranged in the diagonal direction, which provides a good protective support effect and avoids the seat cushion from being unable to withstand the downward pressure of the rider.
[0094] In actual use, in the carbon fiber prepreg ply setting of the seat cushion panel, reinforcing patches are also arranged between the 0° and 90°, and between the 90° and 0° layers to increase the strength of the carbon fiber stacking of the seat cushion panel, so that it has better support and rigidity, thereby bearing heavier weight.
[0095] In the S7 preforming process of this embodiment, the protective blue film and release paper are torn off from the sequentially stacked carbon fiber prepregs, so that the carbon fiber prepregs and the reinforcement patches can be placed in sequence, and are manually arranged and placed so that the adjacent layers can be closely attached together, and the air between each layer is discharged to the outside, thereby reducing the bubbles caused by the air and reducing the occurrence of defective products;
[0096] U-shaped carbon yarns are arranged at the connection and folding parts of the solid rod, so that the U-shaped carbon yarns can strengthen the connection and folding parts of the solid rod, enable it to withstand greater force, and will not get loose during long-term use, thereby ensuring the quality and safety performance of the seat cushion.
[0097] In the S8 hot pressing mold forming of the present embodiment, before use, the hot press is preheated to 100° and the pressure value of the machine is set to 40KG, and then the hot pressing mold is placed on the machine for hot pressing processing. The hot press is maintained at a constant temperature and pressure state for 15 minutes, thereby completing the pre-curing of the hot pressing mold, so that the carbon fiber material can be heated and pressurized to form a corresponding shape.
[0098] Specifically, in step S9-16, the pre-cured seat cushion plate and bow frame are deburred and drilled to facilitate subsequent picking up and positioning assembly, and the outer surface of the product is polished and cleaned to facilitate the spray primer to adhere to the outer surface of the product. The primed product is then inspected for appearance. If no problems are found, it is placed in an oven for baking so that the primer can firmly adhere to the outer surface of the product to provide a layer of protection.
[0099] In actual use, steps S17-19 are optional steps. If no problems are found in the previous processing steps, proceed to step S20; if problem points are found, they need to be repaired, cleaned, and baked again, and checked again to see if there are any problem points, and repaired in time. After all problem points are repaired, the product will be ground and polished to give the product a neat surface.
[0100] Specifically, in step S20-25, 300-mesh or 600-mesh sandpaper is selected to roughly grind the thick area of the product, and 1500-mesh or 2000-mesh sandpaper is selected to finely grind the entire product to achieve a fine polishing effect;
[0101] The polished cushion plate and bow frame are assembled, and glue is applied to the drilled holes so that the two can be firmly adhered and fixed together. The assembled cushion is then sprayed with topcoat to make the outer surface protective, wear-resistant and scratch-resistant, thus extending the use of the cushion. The topcoat-sprayed cushion is then baked again so that the topcoat can firmly adhere to the surface and is not easy to fall off.
[0102] Finally, the finished products are inspected and tested to see if they meet the three-point bending test requirements, and products that do not meet the bending resistance and rigidity requirements are promptly selected.
[0103] In this embodiment, the baking temperature inside the oven is set at 90°C, and the product is baked in the oven for 60-90 minutes. Specifically, when spraying primer and topcoat for the first time, the product is baked in the oven for 90 minutes so that the paint can firmly adhere to the outer surface of the product; if painting is performed again after repair, the baking time needs to be shortened and the product is baked in the oven for another 60 minutes so that the later sprayed paint can adhere to the outer surface of the product and is not easy to fall off.
[0104] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and only specifically describe the technical principles of the present invention. These descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the present invention and cannot be interpreted as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention in any way. Based on the explanations here, any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention, and other specific implementations of the present invention that can be associated with by technicians in this field without creative labor, should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
