Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to an integral forming method of a composite material hollow ring frame with a C-shaped flange. Background Art
[0002] With the development of marine resource exploration and development, deep-sea scientific research, and the updating and iteration of underwater weapons and equipment, people have put forward higher requirements for deep submersible equipment, especially the weight reduction of submersible equipment and the ability to resist high pressure underwater. This requires the shell structure of deep-water pressure-bearing equipment to meet the requirements of low specific gravity, high strength, high modulus, deformation resistance, fatigue resistance, etc. However, the shell structure of the long cylinder section often suffers from compression buckling instability due to the increase in external pressure load caused by the increase in the submersible depth, resulting in shell buckling failure, appearance twists and turns, or even flattening. In order to avoid the occurrence of compression buckling instability, the commonly used measures are to arrange pressure rib structures such as I-shaped reinforcement ribs and L-shaped reinforcement ribs on the inner side of the pressure-bearing solid cylinder section structure to enhance compression stability. However, this method of solid cylinder section reinforcement ribs is prone to problems such as high weight and increased material costs.
[0003] Therefore, a composite hollow ring frame structure with C-shaped flanges was designed and developed. The C-shaped flanges on both sides were partially thickened to play the role of reinforcing ribs. The circumferential skin can increase the thickness of the overall barrel section. At the same time, the C-shaped cavity of the ring frame improves the structural duty ratio and reduces the weight of the barrel section, ultimately achieving the effect of weight reduction and pressure resistance integration. However, because the hollow ring frame is a special structure with C-shaped flanges on both sides, there is a risk of difficulty in demolding when using the male mold tooling for one-piece molding. When using the tooling female mold for one-piece molding, there is a problem that the flanges cannot be folded smoothly, and manual cutting and filling of the gaps in the sheet are required, which is inconvenient and inefficient to operate.
[0004] Therefore, how to form a composite hollow ring frame structure with a C-shaped flange and solve the risk of demoulding and smooth folding are still urgent problems to be solved. Summary of the invention In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a method for integrally forming a composite hollow ring frame with a C-shaped flange, wherein the structure of the hollow ring frame with a C-shaped flange is divided into three parts: an annular skin, a left C-shaped reinforcement rib, and a right C-shaped reinforcement rib. The C-shaped flanges on both sides are locally thickened to act as reinforcing ribs. The annular skin can increase the thickness of the overall barrel section. At the same time, the C-shaped cavity of the ring frame improves the structural duty cycle and reduces the weight of the barrel section, ultimately achieving the effect of weight reduction and pressure resistance integration. The present invention mainly realizes the manufacture of a composite hollow ring frame structure with a C-shaped flange through structural design and a co-curing molding process.

[0028] Taking a C-shaped flanging hollow ring frame structure as an example, the specific steps of the integral forming method of the C-shaped flanging composite material hollow ring frame described in this embodiment are described in detail as follows: S1. Die splitting design: according to the structural form of the hollow ring frame with C-shaped flange, the hollow ring frame is divided into an annular skin component 2, a left C-shaped stiffener component 3, and a right C-shaped stiffener component 4; S2, laying design: according to the circumferential length of the annular skin component 2 and the thickness partition of the left and right C-shaped stiffener components 4, Fibersim software is used to respectively design the different configuration pieces and design the proportions of different laying angles according to the strength requirements. At the same time, the metal female mold tooling 5 used for laying the annular skin component 2 and the laying tooling 7 used for the left and right C-shaped stiffener components 4 are prepared, and the cleaning and demoulding material 14 are brushed; S3, split mold paving: the annular skin assembly 2 is paved on the metal female mold tooling 5; the reinforcement layers 8, 9, 10 of the left and right C-shaped reinforcement rib assemblies 4 are paved on the male mold tooling 7, and the paving of the two is carried out simultaneously to improve efficiency. The reinforcement layers mainly include three configurations of C, I, and L, and the three configurations are paved alternately.
[0029] S4, pre-molding of split molds: firstly, conduct vacuum pre-pressing and sealing leak detection on the split molds completed in step S3. After the leak detection is qualified, use auxiliary material isolation film 11, surface breathable material 12, and vacuum bag 13 to encapsulate each split mold, and then evacuate and pre-press. Send the encapsulated parts and tooling into the autoclave, set the autoclave parameters as follows: temperature 50℃, pressure 0.6Mpa, heat preservation and pressure holding time 30min, and hot press the encapsulated components in the autoclave.

[0030] In general, the method of the present invention is guided by theory in practice. Compared with the traditional solid barrel section, the design of the C-shaped reinforcement layer on both sides of the bonding area can not only achieve weight reduction but also ensure the compressive resistance. The present invention adopts the whole paving layer and the reinforcement layer sub-assembly and then installs. The paving process of the two components can be carried out at the same time, which simplifies the paving process and improves production efficiency. It greatly reduces the production cost while ensuring the quality of the parts, and also avoids the damage of parts caused by post-machining. The three different configurations of the reinforcement layer simultaneously assist in alternating paving at different angles, which greatly ensures the structural strength and compressive resistance of the product. The technical problem is effectively solved in a simple way, the scheme is ingeniously conceived, and has good practical value.
