[0002] Carbon fiber reinforced resin matrix composites have many excellent properties. Compared with traditional metal materials, carbon fiber reinforced resin matrix composites have high specific strength and specific modulus. Therefore, structural parts based on carbon fiber reinforced resin matrix composites have the characteristics of light weight, high strength, and structural designability, and are widely used in the design and manufacturing of aerospace and various aircraft. With the reduction of the cost of carbon fiber materials and the development of the aerospace industry, the application proportion of composite materials on various aircraft is also increasing continuously.

[0040] 1. The present invention can start two motors A to drive the driving wheels A and B to perform rotational movements in opposite directions in the horizontal direction, and then drive the preliminarily bolt-connected composite material product to perform intermittent linear movements in the horizontal direction. During the movement interval of the composite material product, the displacement component drives the two chucks to be located on both sides of the nut and the screw head in the bolt component respectively. At this time, start the linear motion part C to drive the chuck to perform linear motion, so that a group of chucks perform relative motion, and then drive the two chucks to limit the nut and the screw head in the bolt component respectively. At this time, start the motor B to drive the rotating shaft C to rotate. The rotating shaft C drives the flat gear to drive the incomplete gear to drive the incomplete hexagonal turntable to rotate relative to the mounting plate. The incomplete hexagonal turntable drives the two chucks to rotate. At this time, the two chucks drive the nut and the screw head in the bolt component to perform rotational movements in opposite directions. And due to the action of the elastic member, the support frame A has a floating space in the horizontal direction. At this time, the screw head and the nut in the bolt component are buckled to achieve the technical effect of tightening and assembling the H-shaped steel in the composite material product and the filling module between the embedded wing plates by using the bolt component.

[0041] 2. After completing the buckling process of all bolt components on the composite material product, the present invention can start the pushing mechanism again to make the composite material product symmetrically located on the rack, and at this time, the platform of the driving wheel B located above is below. At this time, start the displacement component to make the two chucks in the buckling component located on both sides of both ends of the rotating shaft C. At this time, start the linear motion part C to drive the chuck to perform linear motion to clamp the rotating shaft C. At this time, start the linear motion part A to pull the hexagonal connecting block to retract into the rotating shaft B, so that the rotating shaft C is separated from the rotating shaft B. At this time, start the transfer component to drive the driving wheel B to move to the middle of the composite material product. At this time, the linear motion part B in the displacement component drives the driving wheel B to squeeze the composite material product and use the pressure sensor on the driving wheel B to monitor the thrust given by the driving wheel B to the composite material product in real time, so as to achieve the technical effect of detecting the load of the composite material product.

At this time, the two sets of chucks 3036 drive the nut and the screw head in the bolt assembly to perform rotational motions in opposite directions. And due to the action of the elastic member, the support frame A301 has a floating space in the horizontal direction. At this time, the screw head and the nut in the bolt assembly are buckled to achieve the technical effect of tightening and assembling the H-shaped steel in the composite material product and the filling module between the embedded wing plates by using the bolt assembly.

At this time, the linear motion member A2043 is started to pull the hexagonal connecting block 2042 to retract into the rotating shaft B2041, prompting the rotating shaft C205 to separate from the rotating shaft B2041. At this time, the transfer assembly is started to drive the driving wheel B202 to displace to the middle of the composite material product. At this time, the linear motion member B3026 in the displacement assembly 302 pushes the driving wheel B202 to squeeze the composite material product and uses the pressure sensor located on the driving wheel B202 to monitor the thrust given by the driving wheel B202 to the composite material product in real time, so as to achieve the technical effect of detecting the load of the composite material product.

If either of them is not within the corresponding threshold, the bolt assembly is continuously made up until the make-up torque information exceeds the torque threshold and the distance information is within the distance threshold. In this state, the make-up torque information and distance information are dimensionless processed and then imported into the pre-constructed make-up quality evaluation model to output the make-up quality evaluation coefficient. The make-up quality evaluation coefficient is compared with the preset make-up quality evaluation coefficient threshold.

[0082] A composite material product includes an H-shaped steel 4 and a filling module 5, and the filling module 5 is detachably installed between the flange plates of the H-shaped steel 4 through the H-shaped steel 4.

[0083] For composite material products with complex structures, based on the concept of integral co-curing manufacturing, a process-structure integrated design is carried out on the products, aiming to design and manufacture the optimal structure of composite material products that meet the service condition requirements. For this purpose, the project established a design method for composite material products based on co-curing technology, which includes five major modules: "structural identification and sub-structure mold design", "overall mold assembly full-process simulation", "product structure design integrating the concept of integral co-curing", "evaluation of the optimal process-structure plan", and "coordinated deformation analysis of the curing process of multiple molds". The main technical features of each module are as follows:

[0084] Structural identification and sub-structure mold design module. This module mainly solves the problems of splitting the overall structure and determining the configurations of the sub-structure molds. According to the structural characteristics of the product, based on the principle of "classified identification - overall structure - operability", the product structure is split. "Classified identification" means clarifying each part of the product such as rib plates, stiffeners, beams, through holes, and the main structure; "overall structure" means ensuring the integrity of the structure as much as possible under the premise of feasible mold design to avoid overlap during the laying process; "operability" means determining that the molds of each sub-structure are convenient for production operations. Thus, the preliminary design of each sub-structure mold is completed. As Figure 6 is the logic flow chart of the structural identification and sub-structure mold design module.

[0085] Overall mold assembly full-process simulation module. This module mainly solves the problems of the connection of each sub-structure and the disassembly and assembly of each mold combination. Based on the configurations of the sub-structure molds determined in "Module a", the overall mold combination and disassembly process are simulated to determine the connection methods of each part of the mold, whether there is interference during the mold combination, and the sequence of demolding, and clarify the pressurization methods at the connection parts of each sub-structure. On this basis, the feasibility of the plan for integrally co-curing and forming all / part of the sub-structures split in "Module a" is evaluated. Thus, the overall mold design of the co-cured product is completed. As Figure 7 is the logic flow chart of the overall mold assembly full-process simulation module.

[0086] Product structure design module integrating the concept of overall co-curing. This module mainly solves the problem of optimizing the design of product structure based on the co-curing manufacturing concept. In "Module b", the sub-structures that can be co-cured are determined. Therefore, this part of the structure can be designed as a whole, such as removing the connecting parts and standard parts between sub-structures, optimizing the finite element model for strength / stiffness analysis (the finite element model of this part is regarded as a whole, and the connection interface no longer appears), etc., and the ply design is carried out under this condition. In addition, for the sub-structures in "Module b" that cannot be co-cured, according to the finite element analysis results and the functional requirements of the product, this part of the structure can be redesigned, and the co-curing forming scheme analysis is carried out again based on "Module a" and "Module b". Thus, by integrating the concept of completing the manufacturing of composite products with overall co-curing technology as much as possible, the integrated design of product process-structure is realized.

[0087] Process-structure optimal solution evaluation module. This module mainly determines the optimal solution for product realization under the conditions of comprehensively considering the product's entire life cycle and process complexity. Based on the analysis of "Module a, b, c", several design solutions and corresponding process solutions for the product may be obtained based on the concept of overall co-curing on the premise of meeting the design requirements of the product. Analyze each process solution, comprehensively consider various factors such as "product structure weight", "mold manufacturing cost", "ply laying difficulty", "manufacturing cycle", "disassembly and assembly risk of combined molds", "convenience of product maintenance", etc., determine the weight coefficients of each influencing factor in the economic factor according to different product requirements, compare the economic factors of each process solution, and finally determine the optimal solution for product realization that meets the product's use requirements. Such as Figure 8 is the logic flowchart of the process-structure optimal solution evaluation module.

[0088] Multi-mold co-curing process collaborative deformation analysis module. This module mainly solves the problem of the influence of the deformation of multiple molds during the co-curing process on the forming quality and forming accuracy of the product. Based on the process solution determined in "Module d", analyze the deformation process of the co-curing combined molds affected by temperature during the co-curing process, design the cooperative process gap between the "soft mold" and the "hard mold", analyze the influence of the ply thickness between adjacent molds on the forming quality according to the process test and simulation results, and finally determine the overall co-curing process solution in combination with the analysis results. Such as Figure 9 is the logic flowchart of the multi-mold co-curing process collaborative deformation analysis module.

[0089] Many existing composite material products use the co-curing molding method. However, for the co-curing design of products with complex structures, many aspects need to be considered, resulting in a large workload. On the other hand, different products require different design methods, making it difficult to form a systematic design concept. At this time, the process-structure integrated design system for composite material products based on the overall co-curing technology not only maintains the advantages of co-curing molding, such as high-temperature stability, excellent mechanical properties, good heat insulation performance, high strength, and low mass. It also considers the classification and identification of structures during actual manufacturing to ensure structural integrity; the mold is easy to generate and operate, as well as mold interference, demolding, and the feasibility of the plan; the optimization of the product structure; the optimal solution for product realization under the comprehensive consideration of the product's entire life cycle and process complexity; the impact on molding quality, etc. This design system not only improves productivity, quality, accuracy, and efficiency but also considers the saving of raw materials and processes, as well as the simplicity of processing, operation, and use. For example Figure 10 is the design flow of the process-structure integrated design system for composite material products based on the overall co-curing technology.
