Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of autoclave technology, specifically a multi-stage safety interlock device for autoclaves. Background Technology
[0002] One of the main advantages of autoclaves is their suitability for producing a wide variety of materials, as long as the curing cycle, pressure, and temperature are within the autoclave's limits. Another advantage is their high flexibility in pressurizing composite parts. Typically, the part is laid on one side of a mold, then placed in a vacuum bag. Pressure is applied to the part to press it firmly against the mold, and the pressure is further amplified by vacuuming the bag. Therefore, autoclave molding technology can produce composite parts with various shapes. Due to these advantages, autoclaves are widely used in the production of advanced composite parts for aerospace applications.
[0003] Currently, many autoclave lids lack sufficient safety features. Utility Model Content
