Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of autoclaves, in particular to an online detection device for thermal deformation of an autoclave mould. Background Art

[0002] The autoclave process is the mainstream process for high-precision curing and molding of large composite materials. The curing and molding mold is an important part of the autoclave molding process. Its surface dimensional accuracy, surface temperature uniformity and thermal deformation are all key factors affecting the dimensional accuracy of composite materials constructed by the autoclave process. At present, autoclave process molds are mostly made of steel with low thermal expansion coefficient. As the size of composite components increases, the size of the mold also increases accordingly. The curing temperature of raw materials for composite construction is often higher than 180°C. The problem of mold thermal deformation has become a prominent problem that plagues the development of composite autoclave molding technology. Therefore, it is necessary to detect the thermal deformation of autoclave molds.
