Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of composite products, in particular to a testing machine. Background Art

[0002] Given the extreme environment of space, the raw materials used to construct artificial celestial bodies and spacecraft capable of launching beyond Earth's atmosphere place extremely high demands on the materials used. Since a rocket consumes approximately 50 kg of energy for every kg of weight launched, reducing the weight of materials during launch is crucial for energy efficiency. Furthermore, vibrations during launch significantly impact the equipment being launched, necessitating extremely high vibration damping requirements. Materials that can both reduce the weight of equipment and effectively dampen its own vibrations are currently in high demand in the aerospace industry.

[0003] The scientific experiment cabinet is a test cabinet set up in the space station, in which a series of scientific experiments can be carried out. There are a large number of such cabinets in the space station. The reduction of their own weight and the ability to use vibration-damping materials will undoubtedly play a huge role in the construction of the space station. Utility Model Content

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] like Figure 1 A multi-layer shock-absorbing skin structure shown includes an outer skin layer 101, a shock-absorbing layer 102 and an inner skin layer 103. The outer skin layer 101 and the inner skin layer 103 are both made of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin prepreg, and the shock-absorbing layer 102 is made of damping rubber.

[0025] Specifically, the carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin prepreg uses T800 grade carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin prepreg, and the damping rubber uses ZN-1 damping rubber. The two are mixed and laid. After laying, they are put into an autoclave at high temperature and high pressure for curing and molding. When laying, the shape of the specific mold can be selected according to needs.

[0026] Furthermore, a structural adhesive film 104 is laid between the outer skin and the damping rubber layer, and between the damping rubber layer and the inner skin.

[0027] It should be noted that the function of the structural adhesive film 104 is to ensure the bonding strength between the damping rubber and the prepreg.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] like Figure 2-3 An integrated test cabinet skin is shown, comprising:

[0030] The composite skin 200 is box-shaped, with an open bottom, side openings on both sides, and a top opening on the top;

[0031] The skin side cover 300 is in the form of a flat plate and is installed on the side opening of the composite skin 200;

[0032] The skin top cover 400 is flat and installed on the top opening of the composite skin 200;

[0033] The composite skin 200, the skin side cover 300, and the skin top cover 400 are all multi-layer shock-absorbing skin structures. The multi-layer shock-absorbing skin structure includes an outer skin layer 101, a shock-absorbing layer 102, and an inner skin layer 103. The outer skin layer 101 and the inner skin layer 103 are both made of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin prepreg, and the shock-absorbing layer 102 is made of damping rubber.

[0034] Specifically, the carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin prepreg uses T800 grade carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin prepreg, and the damping rubber uses ZN-1 damping rubber. A negative mold is used for paving, and the two are mixed and paved. After paving is completed, they are put into an autoclave for high temperature and high pressure curing and molding. The shape of the specific mold can be selected according to needs during paving.

[0035] It should be noted that aviation equipment generally requires that the product surface must be smooth and without sharp edges. Once a person in space is scratched by a sharp object, the bleeding is difficult to stop. Therefore, the mold surface of the cabinet body skin must be smooth and without defects, and must be made using a negative mold.

[0036] Furthermore, a structural adhesive film 104 is laid between the outer skin and the damping rubber layer, and between the damping rubber layer and the inner skin.

[0037] It should be noted that the function of the structural adhesive film 104 is to ensure the bonding strength between the damping rubber and the prepreg.

[0038] Furthermore, bolt holes are provided on the composite skin 200 , the skin side covers 300 , and the skin top cover 400 , and the skin side covers 300 and the skin top cover 400 are fixed to the composite skin 200 by bolts.

[0039] Furthermore, a cross-shaped rib 401 is provided on the top of the skin top cover 400 .

[0040] It should be noted that the design of the cross-shaped ribs 401 can enhance the strength of the skin top plate.

[0041] In summary, the present invention adopts carbon fiber composite materials to make cabinet skin, which greatly reduces the weight of the skin and reduces the energy consumption of space launch; the present invention adopts a mixed laying method of damping material and structural material, which not only ensures the structural strength of the cabinet skin but also plays a vibration reduction role, reduces the use of dampers, reduces energy consumption during space launch, and optimizes the equipment placement space, so that the space for carrying cargo can be increased during a single launch; the cabinet skin is made of composite materials, and its external dimensions are guaranteed by the mold. The cabinet skins produced in batches with a single set of molds are completely consistent in size and can be interchanged, effectively ensuring the spatial layout and installation accuracy in the space station, while reducing the maintenance difficulty for astronauts.

[0042] The above embodiments are only intended to help understand the method and core concept of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to the present invention without departing from the principles of the present invention, and such improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
