TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a kind of forming die technical field, specifically to a missile nose fairing special heat shield resin transfer heating forming die. BACKGROUND
[0002] RTM forming process is a closed mold forming technology improved from hand lay-up forming process, and the basic principle is to lay the reinforcing material (such as glass fiber or carbon fiber) into the mold cavity of the closed mold, then inject the resin with low viscosity into the mold cavity through pressure, so that the resin penetrates the reinforcing material, and finally it is cured and formed.
[0003] RTM forming process has the characteristics of high product performance, high production efficiency, environmental and health friendly, mature material technology, and can prepare large and complex components. Since RTM forming process has many advantages, the load-bearing structure on the plane and the heat-resistant layer on the missile are made of composite materials using this process.

[0005] The previous mold design is mostly a structure of combining core and outer mold to form a conical barrel type cavity. When using, the preform is first sleeved on the core mold, and then the outer mold is assembled. Since the preform itself has a certain elasticity, the surface fibers of the preform are often clamped into the joint of the outer mold during assembly of the outer mold, causing wrinkles, delamination and other defects on the outer surface of the preform, which seriously affects the surface quality of the product.
[0006] The structure of combining core and outer mold to form a conical barrel type cavity, the core mold is usually located inside the mold, and the outer mold wall is relatively thin. When curing, the core mold and the outer mold often have a large temperature difference, which can easily cause uneven internal curing and high porosity and other internal quality problems. And the existing mold is prone to break the surface layer fibers of the preform when the simple up-down mold structure is closed during production of the product, and the stress on the annular position of the head of the product is uneven, often causing surface defects.
