Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of carbon fiber plate forming, and in particular relates to an automated carbon fiber forming device and method. Background Art

[0002] The automated carbon fiber forming device is a manufacturing equipment that uses mechanical, electronic, control and other technologies to automate the entire process of carbon fiber plate materials from cutting, weighing, placement to hot pressing.

[0003] At present, traditional automated carbon fiber forming devices are used to precisely cut multi-layer carbon fiber sheets to ensure that the size and shape of each layer of carbon fiber sheet meet the design requirements. Subsequently, these cut carbon fiber sheets are placed on the top of the weighing assembly in turn, and the mass is weighed by a high-precision weighing sensor to achieve the carbon fiber sheet dosage standard specified in the formula. After the weighing is completed, the carbon fiber sheet is transferred as a whole to the forming work area. Then, the drive mechanism is started, driving the upper mold to slowly descend and fit tightly with the fixed lower mold below. Under high temperature and high pressure, the multi-layer carbon fiber sheets are hot-pressed through the precise coordination between the upper and lower molds, so that they are cured into composite components with specific shapes and properties.

[0004] However, in actual production applications, especially in the weighing process, since the multiple layers of carbon fiber plates are directly stacked and placed on the top of the weighing component for weighing, there is a lack of effective fixing and positioning mechanism, which leads to the phenomenon of multiple layers of carbon fiber plates being easily offset and misplaced during the placement process. These uneven carbon fiber plates will seriously affect the uniform distribution and close fit of the carbon fiber plates in the mold when they are subsequently transferred to the molding station for hot pressing, thereby significantly reducing the accuracy and consistency of the molded products, making it difficult for the final molded composite components to meet ideal standards in terms of dimensional accuracy, surface quality and mechanical properties.

[0030] The present invention is that during the rotation of the rotating rod, the rotating rod pushes the corresponding connecting rod to move, and then the connecting rod drives the extrusion block to squeeze and push the sliding block and the positioning block to move upward. When the sliding block moves upward, the spring is compressed, and then the rotating carbon fiber plate comes into contact with the upward-moving positioning block. When the positioning block and the fixed block come into contact at the same time, the correction work is completed. Finally, the rotating rotating rod is linked to move the corresponding positioning block upward, and then the rotating carbon fiber plate is successfully and accurately blocked and corrected to the predetermined position, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the correction.

[0031] The present invention drives the electric push rod three so that its output shaft pushes the sliding plate out of the interior of the fixed shell, and then drives the sliding rod upward again, so that the four sliding plates cooperate with each other to clamp the carbon fiber plate, and then the sliding rod drives the carbon fiber plate to move to the interior of the forming station of the forming equipment main body, thereby placing the carbon fiber plate to be formed inside the station, improving the efficiency and accuracy of the carbon fiber plate forming process, reducing the errors and uncertainties caused by manual operation, and enabling the correction plate at the bottom end of the two-way cylinder to correct the carbon fiber plate inside the station, thereby ensuring the quality of hot pressing.

[0041] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the present invention provides an automated carbon fiber molding device, including a molding device body 1, a weighing component 2, a slide rail 3 and a slide rod 4, and also includes:

[0043] A slide rail 3 is provided on one side of the molding equipment body 1;

[0044] a slide bar 4 slidably connected to the surface of the slide rail 3;

[0045] a correction mechanism 5, which is provided at one end of the slide bar 4;

[0046] The correction mechanism 5 includes a mounting plate 501 fixedly connected to one end of the sliding rod 4, a placement plate 508 is slidably sleeved on the surface of the mounting plate 501, two bidirectional cylinders 507 are fixedly installed on one side of the mounting plate 501, and the output ends of the bidirectional cylinders 507 are connected to the two placement plates 508, a hydraulic cylinder 502 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting plate 501, a motor 503 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the hydraulic cylinder 502, a rotating rod 504 is fixedly installed on the output end of the motor 503, a ball 505 is rollingly connected to the middle of the bottom end of the rotating rod 504, and contact blocks 506 are fixedly installed on both ends of the bottom of the rotating rod 504;

[0047] A fixing mechanism 6, which is provided on one side of the mounting plate 501;

[0048] A positioning mechanism 7, which is arranged inside the placement plate 508;

[0049] The deviation correcting mechanism 8 is arranged inside the placement plate 508 .

[0050] The above scheme is adopted: the operator places the carbon fiber plate to be formed on the top of the placement plate 508 so that one end of the carbon fiber plate contacts the surface of the fixing mechanism 6. During the placement of the carbon fiber plate, when the carbon fiber plate is offset, the sensor on the top of the mounting plate 501 converts the captured offset data into an electrical signal, which is then transmitted to the central control device in a wireless or wired manner. After receiving the data from the sensor, the central control device immediately drives the hydraulic cylinder 502 so that its output shaft drives the motor 503 and the rotating rod 504 to move toward the surface of the carbon fiber plate, and the ball 1 505 and the contact block 506 contact the surface of the carbon fiber plate at the same time. Then, the motor 503 is driven to rotate the rotating rod 504 and the contact block 506, and the ball 1 505 rotates. Through the rotation of the ball 1 505, the contact block 506 drives the carbon fiber plate to rotate in the opposite direction of the original tilt direction of the carbon fiber plate with the ball 1 505 as the center.

[0051] When the rotating rod 504 rotates, it will drive the positioning mechanism 7 to move upward, and the rotating carbon fiber plate will contact the surface of the positioning mechanism 7, and the correcting mechanism 8 will also move toward the surface of the carbon fiber plate, thereby correcting the offset carbon fiber plate. After the correction is completed, the slide rod 4 can be driven to move down on the surface of the slide rail 3, and then the placement plate 508 will contact the top of the weighing component 2, and then the fixing mechanism 6 can be driven to adsorb and clamp the carbon fiber plate. At this time, the two-way cylinder 507 can be driven to move both ends of the placement plate 508, and the carbon fiber plate at the top of the placement plate 508 will fall to the top of the weighing component 2, the fixation of the carbon fiber plate can be cancelled, and the slide rod 4 can be driven again to move it upward, and then the operation can be repeated in sequence to accurately place the multi-layer carbon fiber plate on the top of the weighing component 2, and then the weighing component 2 can weigh the carbon fiber plate. After the weighing is completed, the carbon fiber plate can be placed in the hot pressing station inside the molding equipment body 1, and then the carbon fiber plate can be hot-pressed.

[0052] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the positioning mechanism 7 includes a sliding block 701 slidably connected to the inside of the placement plate 508, a spring 1 702 is elastically connected between the sliding block 701 and the placement plate 508, an extrusion block 704 is provided inside the placement plate 508, a spring 2 703 is elastically connected between the extrusion block 704 and the placement plate 508, and a connecting rod 705 located at the top of the placement plate 508 is fixedly installed on one side of the extrusion block 704.

[0053] The above solution is adopted: through the design of the positioning mechanism 7, in the process of the rotating rod 504 correcting the carbon fiber plate, the rotating rod 504 will contact the corresponding connecting rod 705, and then the connecting rod 705 will drive the extrusion block 704 to move toward the surface of the sliding block 701. When the extrusion block 704 moves, the spring 2 703 will be stretched, and then the extrusion block 704 will squeeze and push the sliding block 701 and the positioning block 706 to move upward. When the sliding block 701 moves upward, the spring 1 702 will be compressed, and then the rotating carbon fiber plate will contact the upward positioning block 706. When the positioning block 706 and the fixing mechanism 6 are in contact with the carbon fiber plate at the same time, the correction work is completed.

[0054] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the fixing mechanism 6 includes a fixing block 601 fixedly connected to one side of the mounting plate 501, a vacuum pump 602 is fixedly installed inside the fixing block 601, an electric push rod 603 is fixedly installed inside the fixing block 601, a suction cup 604 is fixedly installed at the output end of the electric push rod 603, and the vacuum pump 602 and the suction cup 604 are connected by a hose.

[0055] Adopting the above scheme: through the design of the fixing mechanism 6, the electric push rod 603 can be driven to make its output shaft push the suction cup 604 down, and then the suction cup 604 will contact the surface of the carbon fiber plate, and then the vacuum pump 602 can be driven to extract the air inside the suction cup 604 through the hose, and the carbon fiber plate can be adsorbed and fixed by using negative pressure to avoid the position of the carbon fiber plate from shifting when the placement plate 508 moves to both ends.

[0056] like Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the correction mechanism 8 is fixedly connected to the electric push rod 2 801 inside the bidirectional cylinder 507, and the output shaft of the electric push rod 2 801 is fixedly installed with the correction plate 802 located at the top and bottom ends of the placement plate 508.

[0057] The above solution is adopted: through the design of the correction mechanism 8, while the contact block 506 drives the carbon fiber plate to rotate, the electric push rod 2 801 can be driven so that its output shaft pushes the correction plate 802 to move toward the surface of the carbon fiber plate, and then the correction plate 802 on the top of the placement plate 508 can assist the carbon fiber plate to move to the middle of the placement plate 508, thereby ensuring that the carbon fiber plate can be accurately corrected.

[0058] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, it also includes:

[0059] The limiting mechanism 9 is arranged at the bottom end of the two placement plates 508. The limiting mechanism 9 includes a fixed shell 901 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the placement plate 508. An electric push rod 3 902 is fixedly installed inside the fixed shell 901. The output shaft of the electric push rod 3 902 is fixedly installed with a sliding plate 903 located inside the fixed shell 901. The top of the sliding plate 903 is internally connected to a ball 2 904 in a rolling manner.

[0060] The above scheme is adopted: through the design of the limiting mechanism 9, after the weighing of the carbon fiber plate is completed, the slide bar 4 can be driven to descend, so that the fixed shell 901 enters the groove at the top of the weighing component 2, and then the electric push rod 3 902 can be driven to make its output shaft push the sliding plate 903 to move out of the interior of the fixed shell 901, and then the slide bar 4 is driven to move up again, and the surface of the ball 2 904 will contact the bottom end of the carbon fiber plate, and the four sliding plates 903 cooperate with each other to clamp the carbon fiber plate, and then the slide bar 4 can be driven to move toward the interior of the molding equipment body 1, and the carbon fiber plate will Move to the inside of the molding station of the molding equipment main body 1, and then drive the electric push rod 3 902 again to make its output shaft pull the sliding plate 903 and the ball 2 904 to retract into the fixed shell 901. When the ball 2 904 moves, it will roll, thereby reducing the friction between the carbon fiber plate and avoiding the carbon fiber plate from offsetting during the shrinkage process. In the process of shrinkage of the sliding plate 903, drive the electric push rod 2 801 again to make the correction plate 802 at the bottom of the placement plate 508 correct the carbon fiber plate inside the station, thereby ensuring the quality of hot pressing.

[0061] like Figure 8 As shown, a square groove is formed at the top of the interior of the fixed shell 901, and the second ball 904 can slide inside the square groove.

[0062] With the above solution, through the design of the fixed shell 901 , when the second ball 904 moves out of the fixed shell 901 , it will slide inside the square groove, and thus the fixed shell 901 will not interfere with the movement of the second ball 904 .

[0063] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the surfaces of the two placement plates 508 are designed to be smooth, the contact block 506 is made of rubber material, and the surface of the contact block 506 is designed to be rough.

[0064] The above solution is adopted: through the design of the contact block 506 and the placement plate 508, since the surface of the placement plate 508 is smooth, the carbon fiber plate can rotate more smoothly, and the contact block 506 is rough, which can increase the friction between the carbon fiber plate and the contact block 506, making it easier for the contact block 506 to drive the carbon fiber plate to rotate.

[0065] like Figure 6As shown, the opposite ends of the sliding block 701 and the extruding block 704 are designed with inclined surfaces, and the two inclined surfaces are symmetrically designed.

[0066] The above solution is adopted: through the design of the sliding block 701 and the extrusion block 704, since the opposite ends of the sliding block 701 and the extrusion block 704 are respectively designed with inclined surfaces and are symmetrical to each other, the friction between the sliding block 701 and the extrusion block 704 can be reduced, and the extrusion block 704 can squeeze and push the sliding block 701 to move.

[0067] like Figure 5 As shown, the fixing block 601 and the positioning block 706 are both cylindrical in design, and the sides of the fixing block 601 and the positioning block 706 close to the carbon fiber plate are on the same horizontal line.

[0068] The above solution is adopted: through the design of the fixed block 601 and the positioning block 706, since the positioning block 706 is cylindrical in design, it will not interfere with the rotation of the carbon fiber plate when it contacts the carbon fiber plate, and the fixed block 601 and the positioning block 706 are on the same horizontal line on the side close to the carbon fiber plate. When the fixed block 601 and the positioning block 706 contact the carbon fiber plate at the same time, the correction work is completed.

[0069] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the usage is as follows:

[0070] S1: Calculate the amount of carbon fiber board according to the weight of the product, and then cut the carbon fiber board. After cutting, place the multi-layer carbon fiber board on the top of the weighing component 2 for weighing;

[0071] S2: Clean the surface of the hot pressing station of the molding equipment body 1 to remove dust and impurities, then apply a release agent to facilitate the removal of the carbon fiber plate after molding. Then, adjust the temperature, pressure and molding time of the molding equipment body 1 through the console according to the product thickness, mold and material;

[0072] S3: Confirm that the mold temperature reaches above the material temperature. Both the upper and lower molds must be heated. Then, the carbon fiber sheet is placed inside the mold, the upper mold is driven down, and the multi-layer carbon fiber sheet is hot-pressed using high temperature and high pressure.

[0073] S4: After the molding is completed, the molding equipment body 1 will automatically open the mold, and then the operator will perform demoulding to complete the molding process.

[0074] The working principle and use process of the present invention:

[0075] First, the operator can place a layer of carbon fiber plate on the top of the placement plate 508 and contact it with the surface of the fixed block 601. During the placement of the carbon fiber plate, if the carbon fiber plate is offset, the sensor on the top of the mounting plate 501 will convert the captured offset data into an electrical signal, which will then be transmitted to the central control device in a wireless or wired manner. After receiving the data from the sensor, the central control device will immediately drive the hydraulic cylinder 502 to make its output shaft ball 1 505 and contact block 506 contact the surface of the carbon fiber plate at the same time, and drive the motor 503 to rotate the rotating rod 504 and the contact block 506. The contact block 506 will drive the carbon fiber plate to rotate in the opposite direction of the original tilt direction of the carbon fiber plate with ball 1 505 as the center. During the rotation, the electric push rod 2 801 can be driven to make its output shaft push the correction plate 802 to move toward the surface of the carbon fiber plate, so that the correction plate 802 on the top of the placement plate 508 can assist the carbon fiber plate to move to the middle of the placement plate 508, thereby ensuring that the carbon fiber plate can be accurately corrected.

[0076] At the same time, as the rotating rod 504 rotates, the rotating rod 504 pushes the corresponding connecting rod 705 to move horizontally, and then the connecting rod 705 drives the extrusion block 704 to squeeze and push the sliding block 701 and the positioning block 706 to move upward. When the sliding block 701 moves upward, the spring 1 702 is compressed, and then the rotating carbon fiber plate comes into contact with the upward positioning block 706. When the positioning block 706 and the fixed block 601 come into contact at the same time, the correction work is completed.

[0077] After the correction is completed, the slide bar 4 can be driven to drive the carbon fiber plate to descend. When the two-way cylinder 507 contacts the top of the weighing component 2, the vacuum pump 602 can be driven to make the suction cup 604 adsorb and fix the carbon fiber plate. At this time, the two-way cylinder 507 can be driven to move the two ends of the placement plate 508, and the carbon fiber plate on the top of the placement plate 508 will fall on the top of the weighing component 2. Then the adsorption and fixation of the carbon fiber plate are cancelled, and the slide bar 4 can be driven again to move it up. Then the operation can be repeated in sequence to accurately place the multi-layer carbon fiber plate on the top of the weighing component 2, and then the weighing component 2 can weigh the carbon fiber plate.

[0078] After the weighing is completed, the slide bar 4 can be driven to descend, so that the fixed shell 901 enters the groove at the top of the weighing component 2, and the electric push rod 3 902 is driven so that its output shaft pushes the sliding plate 903 to move out of the fixed shell 901, and then the slide bar 4 is driven to move up again, so that the four sliding plates 903 cooperate with each other to clamp the carbon fiber plate, and then the slide bar 4 drives the carbon fiber plate to move to the inside of the forming station of the molding equipment main body 1, and then the electric push rod 3 902 can be driven again so that its output shaft pulls the sliding plate 903 and the ball 2 904 to retract into the fixed shell 901, and the ball 2 904 will roll when it moves, and in the process of the sliding plate 903 retracting, the electric push rod 2 801 can be driven again to make the correction plate 802 at the bottom of the placement plate 508 correct the carbon fiber plate inside the station, and then the slide bar 4 is driven to reset. At this time, the upper mold inside the molding equipment main body 1 can be driven down the well, so that the multi-layer carbon fiber plate can be hot-pressed.
