Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of composite material additive manufacturing and relates to a continuous fiber reinforced resin prepreg impregnation device. Background Art

[0002] Continuous fiber reinforced resin additive manufacturing technology has the advantages of high flexibility and no need for mold manufacturing. In recent years, it has been widely used in the automotive, sporting goods and other industries. Continuous fiber reinforced resin prepreg is the raw material for continuous fiber reinforced resin additive manufacturing. Its impregnation degree directly determines the mechanical properties of the continuous fiber reinforced resin printed components, and the surface quality of the wire determines the accuracy of the printed sample. However, the existing prepreg has the problem of poor fiber / resin impregnation degree due to insufficient impregnation external force during the preparation process. In addition, there are also problems such as fiber eccentricity in the prepreg due to uneven resin distribution in the impregnation mold and poor wire surface quality due to long-term oxidative degradation of the resin in the impregnation mold. Therefore, in order to achieve the preparation of high-impregnation and high-surface quality prepreg, it is necessary to develop a prepreg impregnation device with high fiber / resin impregnation rate and uniform flow of molten resin.

[0003] In order to improve the impregnation degree of continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic prepreg, patent CN109176962B and patent CN101474868A adopt an impregnation process in which multiple impregnation rollers are placed in an impregnation mold, and the molten resin is squeezed into the fiber bundle by the pressure between the continuous fiber and the impregnation roller. Both patents significantly improve the impregnation degree of the prepreg, but the impregnation mold cavity space is large and the heating energy consumption is high, resulting in the resin staying in the mold for a long time and oxidative degradation, thereby affecting the surface quality of the prepreg. Patent CN118163266A effectively improves the problem of excessive tension of the fiber dry wire through the impregnation process of the wave flow channel. At the same time, by improving the impregnation roller to a wave flow channel mold, the chamber volume is greatly reduced, thereby reducing the content of the resin that stays in the chamber for a long time, thereby improving the surface quality of the prepreg. This patent significantly reduces the content of the resin that stays in the impregnation chamber on the basis of the above patents, and improves the surface quality of the prepreg. However, the patent ignores that during the mold closing process, the molten resin in the wave channel will be squeezed away from the wire and accumulated on the side wall of the mold, resulting in uneven resin distribution in the mold and causing fiber eccentricity. Therefore, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the requirements for fiber / resin impregnation degree, resin residence time and resin distribution during the prepreg preparation process, and develop an impregnation device with high impregnation pressure and continuous resin flow and change, so as to achieve high-quality and efficient preparation of continuous fiber prepreg. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention discloses a continuous fiber reinforced resin prepreg impregnation device, which mainly comprises an ellipsoidal wavy flow channel, which can make the resin more evenly distributed around the wire during the mold closing process while retaining the high impregnation external force of the traditional wavy flow channel, effectively solving the problem of fiber eccentricity in the prepreg; in addition, a shaping module with a resin overflow function is designed, and the prepreg passes through a high-precision shaping nozzle to achieve solidification and forming, and excess resin flows out from the overflow port, and the screw motor drives the blade to reciprocate to achieve continuous removal of the overflow port resin, so that the resin in the impregnation flow channel is continuously circulated, solving the problem of oxidative degradation caused by the resin staying in the flow channel for a long time, thereby improving the surface quality and mechanical properties of the prepreg.
