[0026] In this embodiment, the hot pressing upper mold 20 is convex, and the hot pressing lower mold 70 is concave.

[0027] Specifically, the hot pressing upper mold 20 and the hot pressing lower mold 70 are arranged in parallel, and the hot pressing upper mold 20 is used for heating and pressurizing, and can move toward the hot pressing lower mold 70 to be completely fitted; the hot pressing lower mold 70 is used to place the fiber bundle sample and heat it up.

[0028] In this embodiment, the operator only needs to set parameters such as the tension value and the number of winding turns of the wire winding frame 50 on the control system 10 to complete the entire process of preparing the high-performance fiber interlayer shear test specimen. The operation is simple and convenient, and the wire winding, glue dipping, mold closing, and curing processes are not interfered by human factors, thereby ensuring the consistency of the specimen and improving the accuracy and reliability of the test results.

[0029] In some of the specific embodiments, the wire winding frame 50 is also provided with a circle counter and a tension sensor.

[0030] Specifically, during the operation of the wire winding rack 50, the circle counter can count the number of wire winding circles, the tension sensor can obtain tension data, and transmit the data to the control system 10 for monitoring by the operator.

[0031] In some specific embodiments, the fiber bundle adjustment assembly includes a wire gathering clamp 30 and a fiber bundle clamp 80. The wire gathering clamp 30 is arranged on both sides of the wire winding frame 50 to gather the width of the fiber bundle. There are at least two groups of fiber bundle clamps 80, and each group of fiber bundle clamps 80 is respectively arranged on the same side of the hot pressing upper mold 20 and the hot pressing lower mold 70, and is used to clamp and fix the fiber bundle when the mold is closed.

[0032] In some specific embodiments, the wire winding frame 50 is capable of moving toward the hot pressing die 70 to place the fiber bundle into the hot pressing die 70 .

[0034] Specifically, the control system 10 can control the wire clamp 30 to move downward with the hot pressing upper mold 20, and gather the fiber bundle to a specified width, which is consistent with the hot pressing lower mold 70. In this embodiment, there are two groups of fiber bundle clamps 80, each group of fiber bundle clamps 80 includes two clamping surfaces and two positioning screws, and the two clamping surfaces are respectively arranged on the same side of the hot pressing upper mold 20 and the hot pressing lower mold 70, and the two clamping surfaces can fit each other, and are used to clamp and fix the fiber bundle when the mold is closed.

[0037] In some specific embodiments, a creel 90 is further included. The creel 90 is disposed outside the box 40 and is used to fix the high-performance fiber.

[0038] Specifically, the high-performance fiber is clamped and fixed on the yarn frame 90, and the starting end line of the high-performance fiber is drawn out, passes through the threading hole on the box body 40 to enter the inside of the box body 40, and is fixed on the wire winding frame 50 after being soaked in glue through the glue dipping tank 60. By setting the rotation speed of the wire winding frame 50 through the control system 10, the glue content of the sample can be quantitatively controlled. The rotation speed requirements for preparing different high-performance fiber samples are somewhat different, and the operator can determine it by himself during use. Start the wire winding frame 50, and after the high-performance fiber filaments are tightened, the wire winding frame 50 starts to rotate, and the high-performance fiber filaments rotate around the wire winding frame 50. Under the action of tension, more high-performance fiber filaments pass through the threading hole, pass through the glue dipping tank 60, and finally form a fiber bundle on the wire winding frame 50. When a fixed number of winding turns is reached, the wire winding frame 50 stops rotating. After the wire clamp 30 gathers the fiber bundle into a specific width, the wire winding frame 50 and the wire clamp 30 move downward as a whole, so that the gathered fiber bundle enters the hot pressing lower mold 70, and the fiber clamp 80 clamps the two ends of the fiber bundle to fix it.

Finally, the hot pressing upper mold 20 moves downward at a set pressure, fits with the hot pressing lower mold 70, compacts the fiber bundle, and heats up to solidify, forming a shear pattern.

[0039] In this embodiment, the entire sample preparation operation process is carried out inside the box 40, the sample preparation environment is relatively closed, the number of wire windings, wire winding tension, mold temperature and mold pressure are all controllable, and the operator only needs to operate on the control system 10 to complete the control of the entire sample preparation process. By using this device, the influence of human factors on sample preparation can be effectively reduced; the environment is closed and an insulation layer is provided inside the box 40, which can reduce the influence of environmental factors on sample preparation, improve the stability and consistency of the sample, and improve the accuracy and reliability of the test results.

[0040] The following is a detailed description of the process for preparing the high-performance fiber interlayer shear test specimen of this embodiment.

[0041] First, a release agent is evenly coated on the hot pressing upper mold 20 and the hot pressing lower mold 70 , the preheating temperature and preheating time are set, and a proper amount of glue is weighed and prepared, and placed in the glue dipping tank 60 .

[0042] The high-performance fiber to be tested is fixedly hung on the yarn frame 90, and the high-performance fiber passes through the threading hole reserved on the box body 40, passes through the dipping tank 60 and is fixed on the winding frame 50. At this time, the hot pressing upper mold 20 and the hot pressing lower mold 70 are both in a preheated state.

[0043] After inputting the high-performance fiber linear density and bulk density values ​​into the control system 10, the control system 10 calculates the required number of winding turns, which is determined by the number of carbon fiber roots, and the calculation method is: n = 1000*f*b*h / (d / D), where: n is the number of carbon fiber roots; f is the fiber content in the sample; b is the sample thickness, mm; h is the sample width, mm; d is the fiber linear density, g / km; D ​​is the fiber bulk density, g / cm 3 .

[0044] Then the wire winding frame 50 is controlled to wind the wire. After the wire winding frame 50 finishes working, the control system 10 receives the feedback signal of the circle counter and starts to control the wire gathering clamp 30 to gather the fiber bundle after the resin dipping into a specific width, and the width depends on the width of the groove of the hot pressing mold 70.

[0045] The wire winding frame 50 and the wire gathering clamp 30 move downward as a whole under the control of the control system 10, so that the gathered high-performance fiber bundle enters the groove of the hot pressing mold 70. The control system 10 receives the feedback signal of the displacement sensor, controls the fiber bundle clamp 80 to clamp the two ends of the fiber bundle, and the wire winding frame 50 and the wire gathering clamp 30 are retracted to the initial state.

[0046] The hot pressing upper mold 20 moves downward under the control of the control system 10 to compact the impregnated fiber bundle with a set pressure.

[0047] Finally, the control system 10 controls the hot pressing upper mold 20 and the hot pressing lower mold 70 to start heating up to solidify the interlaminar shear specimen.

[0048] In the description of this specification, the description with reference to the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "example", "specific example", "a specific embodiment" or "some examples" etc. means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the utility model. In this specification, the schematic representation of terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0049] The above are only preferred specific implementation methods of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the scope disclosed by the present invention based on the technical solution and the concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
