Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of additive manufacturing of composite materials and relates to an impregnation device for continuous fiber reinforced resin prepreg filaments. Background Art
[0002] The continuous fiber reinforced resin additive manufacturing technology has the advantages of high flexibility and no need for mold manufacturing, and has been widely used in industries such as automobiles and sports goods in recent years. The continuous fiber reinforced resin prepreg filament 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 component, and the surface quality of the filament determines the accuracy of the printed sample. However, in the existing prepreg filaments during the preparation process, there are problems such as poor fiber / resin impregnation degree due to insufficient impregnation external force. In addition, there are also problems such as fiber eccentricity in the prepreg filament due to uneven resin distribution in the impregnation mold and poor surface quality of the filament due to long-term residence and oxidation degradation of the resin in the impregnation mold. Therefore, to achieve the preparation of prepreg filaments with high impregnation and high surface quality, it is necessary to develop an impregnation device for prepreg filaments with a high fiber / resin impregnation rate and uniform flow of molten resin.
[0003] To improve the impregnation degree of continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic prepreg filaments, Patent CN109176962B and Patent CN101474868A adopt an impregnation process of placing multiple impregnation rollers in the impregnation mold, and extrude the molten resin into the fiber tow through the pressure between the continuous fiber and the impregnation roller. Both of these patents have significantly improved the impregnation degree of the prepreg filament, but their impregnation mold chamber has a large space and high heating energy consumption, resulting in long-term residence and oxidation degradation of the resin in the mold, which in turn affects the surface quality of the prepreg filament. Patent CN118163266A effectively improves the problem of excessive tension of the fiber dry filament through the impregnation process of the wave channel, and at the same time, by improving the impregnation roller into a wave channel mold, the chamber volume is greatly reduced, thereby reducing the content of the resin staying in the chamber for a long time, thus improving the surface quality of the prepreg filament. This patent has significantly reduced the content of the resin staying in the impregnation chamber on the basis of the above patents and improved the surface quality of the prepreg filament. However, this patent ignores that the molten resin will be squeezed away from the wire and accumulate on the side wall of the mold during the mold closing process of the wave channel, resulting in uneven resin distribution in the mold and causing fiber eccentricity problems. Therefore, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the requirements for fiber / resin impregnation degree, resin residence time and resin distribution during the preparation process of prepreg filaments, and develop an impregnation device with high impregnation pressure and continuous resin flow and alternation, so as to achieve the high-quality and high-efficiency preparation of continuous fiber prepreg filaments. Summary of the Invention
[0004] A continuous fiber reinforced resin prepreg impregnation device of the present invention mainly includes 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. The prepreg passes through a high-precision shaping nozzle to achieve solidification and forming, and the excess resin flows out from the overflow port. The lead screw motor drives the blade to reciprocate to continuously remove the resin at the overflow port, so that the resin in the impregnation flow channel is continuously circulated and replaced, solving the problem of oxidation degradation of the resin staying in the flow channel for a long time, thereby improving the surface quality and mechanical properties of the prepreg.
