Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of composite material forming, and specifically discloses a fiber unwinding device with mechanically controllable tension and a fiber winding method. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid rise of the manufacturing industry, the demand for lightweight, high-strength, and harsh environment-resistant products in the fields of aerospace, medical and health, pipeline containers, etc. is increasing day by day, which has promoted the rapid popularization of fiber-wound products. Fiber winding is a highly automated industrial process, and the efficient and stable control of the winding tension is the key technology. There are strict requirements for the winding tension in the process, and it has an important impact on the quality of fiber-wound products. In the winding process, due to factors such as the time-varying nature, strong uncertainty, and coupling of the tension system, the tension control becomes complicated. If the tension is too large, it will cause an increase in fiber wear, and in severe cases, there will be phenomena of tearing and yarn breakage. When winding a plastic-lined pressure vessel, too large a tension will also cause deformation of the core mold lining. If the tension is too small, it is impossible to ensure that the fiber bundle winds on the core mold along a predetermined path and the performance between fiber layers, ultimately resulting in a reduction in the strength of the fiber-wound product.

[0003] The existing tension control methods mainly include two types: electronic control type and mechanical type.

[0004] The electronic control type tension control method, such as a Chinese patent with the publication number CN215797592U, discloses a yarn rack with secondary tension application. The constant torque output is controlled by a second servo motor, and the carbon yarn tension is detected by a tension sensor and the tension signal is fed back to the servo motor to achieve the constant tension output control of the carbon yarn. However, due to the time-varying characteristics of the tension, the lag of the electronic control system adjustment, and the large number of components and complex installation, there are problems of insufficient sensitivity, control lag, and inability to flexibly set the tension size in the actual production process.

[0005] The mechanical type tension control method, such as a Chinese patent with the publication number CN221343388U, discloses a constant tension winding bracket for fiber products, which can effectively simplify the structure and improve the problems existing in the electronic control type tension control method, but it cannot achieve a gradually decreasing tension layer by layer. During the winding process, as the winding work progresses, the tension of the inner fiber layer should be slightly less than that of the outer layer. The fiber-wound product produced according to this rule has better performance, that is, the tension system in which the tension of the fiber-wound product decreases from the inside to the outside. Currently, there is no relevant mechanical type tension control method that can achieve this. Summary of the Invention

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects.

[0018] 1. Through mechanical regulation, the structure is simple and the feedback is sensitive: In the above-described fiber unwinding device with mechanically controllable tension, the clamping frame II is suspended below the bracket under the combined action of a helical tension spring and a constant force mechanism. Through the action of tension, the length of the spring is changed, thereby changing the angle between the fiber and the yarn guide roller, and the tension during the winding process is adjusted in real time. Moreover, it has a small volume, saves the unwinding space, realizes the fiber unwinding in a small space, and realizes the real-time tension control of the fiber during the winding process through a pure mechanical tension control method.

[0019] 2. Flexible setting of the tension magnitude: For the mechanical tension control method, how to control the change of the tension magnitude to reach the preset value is a difficult problem. In this device, a counterweight placement space is provided on the clamping frame II, and a counterweight is placed inside the counterweight placement space. The heavier the counterweight, the larger the preset value of the tension; the lighter the counterweight, the smaller the preset value of the tension, realizing the adjustable tension magnitude. In addition, the control intensity of the tension can be adjusted by installing helical tension springs with different spring coefficients.

[0020] 3. The tension can be gradually decreased layer by layer during winding: Different from the existing electronically controlled tension control method, the fiber unwinding device provided by the present invention realizes the mechanical unwinding control with automatically decreasing tension through mechanical structure design, considering the reduction of the fiber roll mass during the winding process and relating the change in mass to the tension magnitude.

[0021] 4. Ensure the continuity of the winding tension: In the method of fiber winding with decreasing tension, if the fiber roll is replaced during the unwinding process, how to ensure the continuity of the winding tension is an urgent problem to be solved. By using this device, if the fiber roll is replaced, the counterweight corresponding to the fiber mass of the fiber roll is reduced after replacement to ensure the continuity of the total mass of the fiber roll, the clamping frame II, and the counterweight, thereby ensuring the continuity of the winding tension.
