Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a molding die for an aircraft wall, and more particularly to a molding die for a negative angle U-shaped wall made of aircraft composite materials. Background Technology

[0002] Aircraft contain numerous walls that bear the aircraft's torque. The structural types of these walls, depending on their assembly location, can be categorized into several types: J-shaped, H-shaped, U-shaped, etc. Composite materials are widely used in the aerospace and automotive industries, and the amount and application of composite materials in aircraft have become important indicators of the structural advancement of aircraft. Composite material wall components are already widely used in aircraft. Some composite material U-shaped wall components have negative angles on both sides, and some of these negative angles are quite large (e.g., Figure 1 As shown in the figure, in actual production, it is not easy or very difficult to demold from the mold. Even if demolding is forced, it is easy to scratch the surface and internal quality of U-shaped wall parts, resulting in defects. This is a great hidden danger to the quality of aircraft. Utility Model Content

[0005] Preferably, core mold II is embedded in the base plate; core mold I and core mold III are connected and positioned by guide pins and the base plate, respectively.

[0006] Preferably, the guide pin is fitted with a bushing.

[0007] Preferably, the core mold II and the base plate are fitted together at a 90° angle along the height of the mold.

[0008] Preferably, the portion of the core mold II located above the base plate is provided with a draft angle.

[0009] Preferably, the mating parts of core mold I, core mold III, and core mold II maintain a 3° fit along the mold height.

[0010] Preferably, the lifting part is a straight handle.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0012] 1. Solved the problem of difficult demolding of U-shaped wall parts with negative angles on both sides of the bend, and produced qualified U-shaped wall parts;

[0021] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 The present invention is further described in detail as follows: A molding die for a negative angle U-shaped wall of aircraft composite material includes a base plate 1 and a core mold. The core mold is movably connected to the base plate 1. A lifting part and a laying part are provided along the length direction of the core mold 1. The lifting part is located at both ends of the laying part. The laying part is engraved with edge lines of the U-shaped wall part. The core mold includes core mold I2, core mold II3 and core mold III4 of the same length. Core mold I2 and core mold III4 are respectively arranged on both sides of core mold II3. The lifting part is installed above the ends of core mold I2 and core mold III4. After the U-shaped wall part is formed, the lifting part is lifted by hand, and core mold I2, core mold III3 and U-shaped wall part are moved along the height direction of the mold.

[0022] In this embodiment, the specific structure is as follows:

[0023] like Figure 2As shown, the molding die mainly consists of three core molds and a base plate 1. Core mold II 3 is embedded in the base plate 1. Core molds I 2 and III 4 are each connected and positioned to the base plate via guide pins 6. To ensure that the guide pins 6 are not worn during long-term use, bushings 5 ​​are installed on the guide pins 6. The mating parts of core mold II 3 and the base plate maintain a 90° fit along the height of the die, facilitating die manufacturing and repair. Figure 4 As shown, the mating parts of core molds I2, III4, and II3 maintain a 3° fit along the mold height, facilitating the separation of core molds I2 and III4 from core mold II3. Straight handles 7 (lifting parts) are installed on core molds I2 and III4 to further aid in their separation from core mold II3. Edge lines for the U-shaped wall parts are etched on the core molds to facilitate part placement and molding.

[0024] The U-shaped wall parts are laid out on the molding die according to the edge markings. After laying, the molding die and the U-shaped wall are placed together in an autoclave for molding. After being removed from the autoclave and cooled, the operator holds the straight handle 7 and simultaneously moves the core molds I2, III4, and the U-shaped wall parts along the height of the die. Because core mold II3 has a 3° draft angle, it also facilitates the movement of the core molds and parts on both sides. After core molds I2, III4, and the U-shaped wall parts have moved along the height of the die, the space above the parts is freed up by core mold II3, making it easy to remove the parts.

[0025] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not constitute a limitation thereof. Any extensions, modifications, or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art without departing from the principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
