Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of annular fiber woven cloth, and in particular to annular fiber woven cloth for composite materials and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Composite materials have many advantages such as light weight, high strength, high modulus, corrosion resistance, high fatigue strength, strong designability and flexible molding process. They have been widely used in aviation, aerospace, new energy vehicles, high-speed trains, wind power, high-pressure gas cylinders, and sports and health industries. With the continuous breakthroughs in the production technology of key raw materials, domestic T700 and T800 grade carbon fibers and the mass market supply, the price of carbon fibers has continued to decline, making carbon fiber composite materials products more and more competitive in engineering mass production after overcoming the price problem. With the support of low-carbon and environmental protection policies, the application of domestic carbon fibers in the field of new energy has ushered in explosive growth. For example, star products such as new energy hydrogen cylinders and carbon-carbon ceramic brake discs are highly sought after by the industry. At present, the design pressure of hydrogen storage cylinders wrapped with carbon fibers is getting higher and higher, and the volume is getting larger and larger, making the green and pollution-free power solution for hydrogen-powered vehicles and large transport vehicles one of the technically and economically feasible solutions. On the other hand, carbon fiber reinforced carbon-based composite brake discs are highly sought after in the high-end brake field of high-speed trains, hydrogen-powered vehicles, and large special trucks for their advantages such as light weight, wear resistance, high temperature resistance, no rust and long service life.

[0003] However, industry research has found that the ends of the wrapped gas cylinders are limited by their shape. Currently, the ends can only be wrapped radially and cannot be strengthened circumferentially, which is a bottleneck for improving the structural strength of the gas cylinders. This restricts the further improvement of the performance of high-pressure gas cylinders. In addition, the low circumferential strength makes the product vulnerable to damage and gas leakage during service. In addition, a common product that bears circumferential loads is the brake disc component. The material needs to bear a large circumferential load during service. Improving the circumferential fiber distribution during product structure design is conducive to further reducing the weight of the product and improving product performance. However, there is currently no annular woven fabric on the market, and the engineering community can only use carbon fiber woven fabrics that cross vertically in the longitudinal and transverse directions instead. When this kind of cross-woven fabric is used on a hollow annular composite brake disc that is subjected to circumferential force, the material performance cannot be fully utilized and the middle part must be cut off, resulting in a serious waste of carbon fiber resources. Similar products are currently only available on the market for prepreg tapes for dry winding impregnated with resin, and there is no supply of annular fiber fabric products for liquid resin winding of gas storage cylinders and carburizing processes of brake discs. Therefore, we propose an annular fiber woven fabric for composite materials and a preparation method thereof. Summary of the invention

[0056] During the use of the present invention, the carbon fiber and the yarn spreading device are installed on a mobile trolley driven by a stepper motor and a lead screw nut, and the moving speed of the trolley is controlled by programming. The fibers are spread into fiber bundles with uniform width and thickness under the action of the closed-loop tension control, unwinding, blowing and vibration yarn spreading devices also installed on the mobile trolley. The winding fixture is installed on a winding drive shaft perpendicular to the yarn spreading system, and is fixed by quick-release bearing supports at both ends. The drive shaft is driven by a high-precision stepper motor through a reducer, and the motor speed is controlled by programming together with the driving of the mobile trolley. The winding and winding fixture is composed of a profiling mandrel and a baffle. The profiling mandrel of the flat annular fabric cloth is a hollow circular ring, which can be installed on the winding drive shaft; the convex and concave profiling mandrels are designed and processed according to the convex shape, and the geometric dimensions of the shape are accurately designed according to the shape of the woven cloth product, the thickness position of the woven cloth layer, and the processing depth; the mandrel is divided radially and assembled as a whole by screws, which is convenient for subsequent removal.

[0057] Before starting winding, install and debug the fixture, and use double-sided tape to fix the fiber to the starting winding position of the reel. The fiber roll can be fixed in two ways: powder bonding method and yarn-assisted fixing method. The bonding method selects the corresponding formula material according to the final molding matrix type of the product. During the winding process, some solid micropowders or liquid droplets are adhered to the fiber surface and the filament bundles by infiltration, spraying, electrostatic adsorption, and scraping. Through heating and solvent volatilization, the particles or droplets are infiltrated and bonded between the wound fiber bundles as a whole, which is convenient for use without affecting the quality of the final product. The fixed bonding material component is selected from the composite material molding matrix components, including one or more combinations of resin system powder, asphalt, sizing agent, and organic solvent. Yarn fixing method: the yarn or gauze is woven with cotton thread, nylon thread, carbon fiber, glass fiber, and aramid fiber. Before use, the gauze is moistened with a heated latent adhesive system or the yarn itself is heated to become sticky, and then laid on both sides of the molding plywood. After cooling to room temperature, the fixation is completed. After winding, the clamp is removed and the whole is heated until the resin is melted for the second time to connect the annular fibers in contact with it into a whole. After removal and quality inspection, it is packaged as annular fiber woven cloth products.
