Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automated manufacturing of aviation composite materials, and in particular to a positioning and clamping device and method for a composite material flat plate prepreg blank. Background Art
[0002] Composite stringers are commonly used structural components on aircraft, reaching lengths exceeding 20 meters. Common configurations include U-shaped, T-shaped, I-shaped, L-shaped, and cap-shaped. The manufacturing process for composite stringers is complex, requiring multiple steps including laying, preforming, and curing. Currently, the most commonly used forming process involves manual laying, which is labor-intensive, inefficient, and lacks guaranteed quality stability and consistency. Consequently, new composite stringer forming processes are constantly being proposed.
[0003] Composite roll forming technology is a rapidly developing long-beam forming process. This process involves a robot driving a contoured mold roller to continuously roll or slide along the length of the long-beam mold, gradually deforming a pre-placed composite flat prepreg blank under pressure to form long-beam preforms of various profiled cross-sections. Currently, the automated forming equipment used to implement this forming process fails to adequately consider the positioning and clamping of the flat prepreg blank during placement. This results in the inability to accurately position and clamp the flat prepreg along the fiber direction, leading to low forming process efficiency.
[0004] Due to the wide variety of composite stringers and their varying lengths and cross-sections, different molds correspond to different positioning heights, lengths, and widths, placing demands on the positioning and clamping devices for the flat prepreg blanks. During the roll-forming process, the long composite flat prepreg blanks need to be positioned. The clamping device needs to operate on platforms at different heights and be adjustable in width. This ensures that the clamping device can remain clamped before the forming device forms the composite material, and can be released and withdrawn during forming without affecting the forming device's composite material forming process, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of the automated stringer forming process. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to solve the problem that composite material flat plate prepreg blanks are difficult to clamp and position during the automated roll forming process of composite material long stringers / beams, the present invention provides a composite material flat plate prepreg blank positioning and clamping device and method.

[0038] See also Figure 1 The present invention provides a positioning and clamping device for composite flat prepreg blanks, comprising a front-end clamping mechanism 1, a screw-slide motion and lifting mechanism 2, and a workbench 3. The screw-slide motion and lifting mechanism 2 is disposed on the workbench 3. The front-end clamping mechanism 1 is disposed on the screw-slide motion and lifting mechanism 2, which is used to adjust the vertical position of the front-end clamping mechanism 1, thereby enabling the clamping device to operate at different heights.

[0040] Among them, the bottom end of the push rod 1-3 is connected to the cylinder 1-1, one end of the first auxiliary rod 1-4 is connected to the cover plate 1-8, and the other end is connected to the middle of the second auxiliary rod 1-5, the two ends of the second auxiliary rod 1-5 are respectively connected to the front pressure head 1-6 and the push rod 1-3, the two ends of the third auxiliary rod 1-7 are respectively connected to the front pressure head 1-6 and the cover plate 1-8, one end of the fourth auxiliary rod 1-9 is connected to the bottom end of the push rod 1-3, and the other end is connected to the support rod 1-10, and the end of the support rod 1-10 is connected to the cover plate 1-8, the push rod 1-3 is arranged in the guide groove 1-2, and the cover plate 1-8 is fixed on one side of the guide groove 1-2.

The front pressure head 1-6 cooperates with the support rod 1-10 to loosen the composite material flat blank 3-5.
[0045] At the same time, when the composite material plane blank 3-5 is placed, the cover plate 1-8 plays a limiting role.

The output shaft of the stepper motor 2-1 is connected to the coupling 2-2, which is connected to the ball screw mechanism 2-5. The guide shafts 2-3 are provided on both sides of the ball screw mechanism 2-5, and the guide shafts 2-3 are arranged parallel to each other on both sides of the ball screw mechanism 2-5. The slide 2-6 is mounted on the ball screw mechanism 2-5 and the guide shafts 2-3 and is capable of sliding along the ball screw mechanism 2-5 and the guide shafts 2-3. The slide 2-6 is provided with a through hole for fixing the slide 2-6 to the base plate 2-4. The cylinder 1-1 is mounted on the slide 2-6.
[0049] Under the control of the stepper motor 2-1, the slide 2-6 can realize lifting movement. The slide 2-6 is connected to the front-end clamping mechanism 1, ensuring that the front-end clamping mechanism 1 can work at any height.
