[0018] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the utility model.

[0019] Embodiment 1:

[0020] A tooling for forming an open hollow composite part mainly comprises: a mold body 1 and a mold body 2. The mold body 1 has a profile that matches the inner surface of the open hollow composite part, and the axis of the open hollow composite part passes through the mold body 1; the mold body 2 has a profile that matches the inner surface of the open hollow composite part, and the profile of the mold body 2 covers the inner concave and / or inner convex components inside the open hollow composite part.

[0021] The open hollow composite part forming tool of the utility model is suitable for forming and manufacturing open hollow composite parts with inner concave components, inner convex components, or both inner concave and inner convex components. This embodiment is specifically described with an open hollow composite part with an inner convex component.

[0022] like Figure 1 to Figure 4 As shown, the forming tooling of the open hollow composite part with an inner convex component includes a mold body 1, a mold body 2, a base 3, a cylindrical pin 4, a screw 5, a universal lifting ring 6 and other finished parts and standard parts.

[0023] Mold closing: The molding tooling of the open hollow composite part with an inner convex component is a combined mold made of metal, wherein the mold body is divided into a mold body 1 and a mold body 2 of different sizes, the mold body 1 has a profile that matches the inner surface of the open hollow composite part, the profile is a smooth shape, and the axis of the open hollow composite part passes through the mold body 1; the mold body 2 has a profile that matches the inner surface of the open hollow composite part, and the profile of the mold body 2 covers the inner convex component inside the open hollow composite part, that is, the profile has a depression, which matches the inner convex component inside the open hollow composite part, and the internal fitting surfaces of the mold body 1 and the mold body 2 are provided with a hook-shaped plug-in locking mechanism, and the mold body 1 and the mold body 2 are fixedly mounted on the base 3 by cylindrical pins 4 and screws 5.

[0024] Laying, bagging and curing: the mold body 1, the mold body 2 2 and the base 3 are combined into a forming tool through an internal locking mechanism, a cylindrical pin 4 and a screw 5. The fiber prepreg is laid on the mold surface formed by the mold body 1 and the mold body 2 2 according to the component structure design. After the laying is completed, vacuum bagging is performed on the base 3. The component is heated, pressurized and cured in an autoclave under the requirements of the curing system.

[0025] Demolding: The size of mold body 1 is larger than that of mold body 2. When demolding, it is first ejected axially. The surface of mold body 2 is partially concave and fits with the convex surface of the workpiece. When mold body 1 is demolded, a large part of the cavity space is formed inside the composite workpiece. At this time, mold body 2 with the concave surface is first moved radially toward the axis relative to the workpiece. When the concave on mold body 2 is completely separated from the convex component on the workpiece, mold body 2 is moved axially to eject it.

[0026] The molding tooling described in the utility model meets the requirements of male mold molding of open hollow composite parts with inner convex components; the connection surface of mold body 1 and mold body 2 2 is parallel to the axis of the open hollow composite part. The utility model solves the problem that the inner convex hollow composite part cannot be demolded after solidification molding through a split mold combination male mold structure. The problem that similar configuration inner convex hollow composite parts cannot be demolded can be solved through a reasonable split mold combination structure. It has a general use demand in the production process of open hollow composite parts with inner convexities.

[0027] The mold body 1 and the mold body 2 in the molding tool of the utility model are made of metal, which can avoid the problems of low molding precision and large errors caused by using soft molds such as soft molds, plaster molds or soluble core molds. In addition to using metal materials, other hard materials can also be used as molding molds.

[0028] The molding tooling of the utility model has no airtight requirements for the mold body when making a vacuum bag on the base. As long as the airtight requirements of the base are met, the structure of the combined mold and the risk of air leakage are simplified. The utility model can reasonably select the parting surface and appropriately increase or decrease the size and number of the mold body to meet the molding requirements of hollow composite parts with inner convex openings of different structures.

[0029] The molding tooling of the utility model has a simple structure and few assembly parts. A cylindrical pin 4 is provided on the base for positioning the first mold body and the second mold body. The disassembly and assembly are convenient and the operation is simple. The universal lifting ring 6 is provided to facilitate the handling and movement of the tooling. The operation level of the operator is low, and the simple operation greatly reduces the labor intensity of the operator. The tooling uses machined parts and standard parts with simple configurations, etc. The overall structure is simple and compact, the debugging and maintenance are convenient, the manufacturing cost is low, and the operation is reliable. It has a general use demand in the production process of hollow composite parts with inner convex openings.

[0030] Embodiment 2:

[0031] The only difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that, in this embodiment, the connection surface of the mold body 1 and the mold body 2 forms a set angle with the axis of the open hollow composite part, and the vertex of the angle is far away from the opening end of the open hollow composite part, that is, the mold body 1 and the mold body 2 2 are quickly demolded through the wedge structure, which is more conducive to the rapid axial release of the mold body 1.

[0032] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
