DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below, examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar reference signs represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the embodiments of the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0018] Embodiment 1: as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , a grid stiffened wallboard for aircraft structure, comprising a grid frame, a skin plate is arranged on the grid frame. The skin plate is composed of an outer skin 3 arranged on the bottom surface of the grid frame and an inner skin 4 arranged on the grid frame. The grid frame is composed of transverse rib core material 1 and longitudinal rib core material 2 connected to each other, and the inner skin 4 is located between the transverse rib core material 1 and the longitudinal rib core material 2, and the inner skin 4 is specifically distributed in the square formed by the two. Through the flange 12 of the inner skin 4 and the covering of the outer skin 3, the transverse rib core material 1 and the longitudinal rib core material 2 are tightly fixed, thereby significantly improving the strength and structural efficiency of the grid stiffened wallboard, as shown in Figure 5 , each corner area of the inner skin 4 is provided with a shear opening 11, and the flange 12 in the direction of the transverse rib core material 1 and the longitudinal rib core material 2 is used to cover the transverse rib core material 1 and the longitudinal rib core material 2.

[0019] The connection between the cross rib core material 1 and the longitudinal rib core material 2 is called a connection node, and a shaped block is arranged on each connection node. The shaped block comprises a reinforcing member 5 distributed above and below, and the strength and stability of the lattice reinforced wallboard are further improved by fastening the connection node position through the reinforcing member 5. As shown in Figure 3 , in this embodiment, the reinforcing member 5 comprises a top plate 51 and a limiting block 52 arranged at the bottom of the top plate 51, and the limiting block 52 forms a slot 53 for inserting the cross rib core material 1 and the longitudinal rib core material 2. Specifically, four limiting blocks 52 are circumferentially distributed at the bottom of the top plate 51 to form a cross slot, and the cross rib core material 1 and the longitudinal rib core material 2 are inserted into the cross slot, so that the connection between the cross rib core material 1 and the longitudinal rib core material 2 is more stable under the action of the reinforcing member 5. Since the lattice reinforced wallboard in this embodiment is an orthogonal lattice wallboard, the slot 53 in this embodiment is a cross-shaped slot 53. However, in addition to the orthogonal lattice wallboard, the lattice reinforced wallboard can also be a special-shaped lattice wallboard, so the shape of the slot 53 can be changed accordingly according to the shape of the special-shaped connection node. In this embodiment, the reinforcing member 5 is made of a fiber resin material, which has excellent tensile and bending resistance. Specifically, it is a preform composed of carbon fibers and resin blocks. The preparation of the preform can adopt a unidirectional tape, and a corresponding mold is used for warm pressing to form a "pre" shape. The reinforcing member 5 is directly clamped into the gap between the cross rib core material 1, the longitudinal rib core material 2 and the skin plate, and the cross rib core material 1 and the longitudinal rib core material 2 are directly inserted into the slot 53. The whole is solidified at one time, and a force transmission node is formed.

[0020] As shown in Figure 3 , the top plate 51 is provided with a limiting extension 54, which is in contact with the top surface of the inner skin 4. The limiting extension 54 improves the stability of the connection between the inner skin 4 and the cross rib core material 1 and the longitudinal rib core material 2.

[0021] In order to further improve the overall strength of the lattice reinforced wallboard, twist strips 6 are filled on both sides of the cross rib core material 1 and the longitudinal rib core material 2. The twist strips 6 can be formed by pressing a unidirectional tape fiber through a mold. As shown in Figure 4 , these twist strips 6 are located at the connection parts of the cross rib core material 1 and the outer skin 3, and the longitudinal rib core material 2 and the outer skin 3. The function of the twist strip 6 is to fill the gap between the inner skin 4, the outer skin 3, the cross rib core material 1 and the longitudinal rib core material 2, so that the formation between the inner skin 4, the outer skin 3, the cross rib core material 1 and the longitudinal rib core material 2 is more stable, as shown in Figure 6 , the outer skin 3 is provided with a reinforcing layer 13 at the position corresponding to the connection node, so that the axial and shear strength of the connection node area in two directions is significantly improved.

[0022] Embodiment 2: as Figure 7 , Figure 8As shown, the embodiment discloses a mold for forming the grid reinforced wallboard of embodiment 1, which comprises a mold body. The mold body comprises a frame, an inner core module arranged on one side of the grid reinforced wallboard, and a pressing cover plate 10 arranged on the other side of the grid reinforced wallboard, and a mold cavity for forming the grid reinforced wallboard is formed between the three. The frame is composed of two detachably connected transverse frames 7 and longitudinal frames 8, and the transverse frames 7 and the inner core module can be detachably connected through bolts and other connectors. The inner core module contains a plurality of inner cores 9 arranged in the square between the horizontal rib core material 1 and the vertical rib core material 2. In the mold cavity formed by the frame, the pressing cover plate 10 and the inner core module, the grid reinforced wallboard described in embodiment 1 is integrally cured and formed.

[0023] Embodiment 3: The embodiment discloses a forming method of a grid reinforced wallboard, and the specific steps are as follows: First, the grid frame is processed. In this embodiment, four horizontal rib core materials 1 and three vertical rib core materials 2 are prepared. The horizontal rib core material 1 and the vertical rib core material 2 are engaged with each other through the clamping groove to form a grid frame.

[0024] Then, the inner skin 4 is laid. The inner cores 9 of the inner core module are arranged in order to ensure their flatness. Then, the inner skin 4 is evenly laid on the inner cores 9. Finally, the previously processed grid frame is clamped into the inner core module to ensure that it is firmly fixed on the inner skin 4.

[0025] Then, the twist bar 6 is filled. The twist bar 6 needs to be evenly filled on the surface of the inner skin 4. The twist bar 6 needs to be distributed on both sides of the horizontal rib core material 1 and the vertical rib core material 2 to ensure the stability and strength of the overall structure.

[0026] Then, the forming block is installed. The forming block is inserted into the insertion slot 53 of the horizontal rib core material 1 and the vertical rib core material 2 at each connection node position of the horizontal rib core material 1 and the vertical rib core material 2 to further strengthen the stability of the structure.

[0027] Then, the outer skin 3 is laid. The outer skin 3 needs to be evenly laid on the surface to form the outer surface of the wallboard.

[0028] Then, the frame is assembled. The frame needs to be assembled, specifically two transverse frames 7 and longitudinal frames 8 are assembled through bolts and other connectors, and the pressing cover plate 10 is installed to ensure the integrity and sealing of the overall structure.

[0029] Then, the curing is performed. The whole bag needs to be punched during the process, and then vacuumized to cure. The structural stability and strength of the wallboard are ensured.

[0030] Finally, demolding, after curing and molding, demolding is needed. After demolding, the top surface and edges of the wallboard are machined and edge sealed to ensure flatness and aesthetics. Finally, testing is performed to ensure that the quality of the wallboard meets the standards.

[0031] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present application. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present application is not limited to the above examples, and the above examples and descriptions in the specification are only to illustrate the principles of the present application. Various changes and improvements can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present application.
