[0035] In the embodiment, the composite skin forming tooling further includes an upper laying clamp 17, which is arranged on the upper flange edge 9 and is an active positioning block. Specifically, the upper laying clamp 17 is made of Q235 steel and is used for positioning of layer-by-layer laying of a product. The upper laying clamp 17 is an active positioning block, and layer-by-layer laying of a circle of the upper flange opening of the product is completed by moving the upper laying clamp 17.

[0036] In the embodiment, the composite skin forming tooling further includes a lower laying clamp 18, which is arranged on the lower flange edge 10 and is an active positioning block. Specifically, the lower laying clamp 18 is made of Q235 steel and is used for positioning of layer-by-layer laying of a product.

[0037] In the embodiment, the composite skin forming tooling further includes a first support block 19, and an outer surface of the first support block 19 is attached to an inner cavity of a mold block. Specifically, the first support block 19 is made of Q235 steel, and the outer surface of the first support block 19 is attached to the inner cavity of the mold block to support the mold block. Since the inner cavity of the pipeline is relatively narrow and long, and the mold block is relatively large, the tooling uses a pressure of 0.7Mpa in the curing process. The mold block is easily extruded into the inner cavity under pressure, and the mold block is locked and positioned at both ends, which causes the middle position of the mold block to be easily deformed under pressure. The first support block 19 can solve this technical problem, and the first support block 19 is screwed on the lower flange edge 10 through M8X25 screws.

[0038] In the embodiment, the composite skin forming tooling further includes a second support block 20, and an outer surface of the second support block 20 is attached to a bottom of a mold block.

The second support block 20 is screwed on the upper flange edge 09 through M8X25 screws.

[0039] In the embodiment, all materials of the tooling are made of Q235 steel, which is suitable for various temperature ranges from low temperature to high temperature. Steel is a relatively cheap and durable material. Experience shows that a steel tooling can still manufacture good parts after 1500 heat pressure tank curing cycles. However, the density of steel is 7850kg / m 3, very heavy, its thermal expansion coefficient (CTE) is greater than the carbon / epoxy resin composite parts made of it, the thick tooling is slow in heating rate in the autoclave, in order to save curing time and let the tooling quickly reach the required curing temperature, so the wall thickness of the tooling mold body cannot be too thick. In the embodiment, the composite skin forming tool of the utility model considers the thermal expansion coefficient and the weight of the tooling, and the wall thickness of the special-shaped pipeline is set to 15mm. When the wall thickness is set to 15mm, the tooling becomes a hollow structure, and after the composite skin is cured and formed, demolding is needed. The biggest tooling design problem of the special-shaped pipeline skin is demolding. When the normal direction along the flange edge is taken as the demolding direction, there is a large closed angle, and the special-shaped pipeline skin cannot be directly demolded from the tooling. The composite skin forming tool of the utility model analyzes the demolding of the tooling mold body, and then the mold body is processed in blocks to form a first mold body block 1, a second mold body block 2, a third mold body block 3, a fourth mold body block 4, a fifth mold body block 5, a sixth mold body block 6 and a seventh mold body block 7. In this way, the tooling mold body is convenient for demolding, and the demolding angle of the block piece is set to facilitate smooth demolding.

[0040] In the embodiment, the first mold body block 1, the second mold body block 2, the third mold body block 3, the fourth mold body block 4, the fifth mold body block 5, the sixth mold body block 6 and the seventh mold body block 7 are assembled on the upper flange edge 9, the pins are positioned, and the threaded connection is fixed. Then the lower flange edge 10 is assembled with the mold body block. In order to facilitate the laying of the special-shaped pipeline composite skin tooling, it is not necessary to be installed on the frame, and laying is directly performed in this state, and then curing is performed. After curing is completed and the tank is taken out and left, the drilling template is installed at the corresponding position, drilling is performed, and assembly positioning of the product is facilitated. After drilling, the pins and screws of the mold body are pulled out, then demolding is performed in the demolding order, the mold body blocks are taken out in sequence, and the demolding work of the special-shaped pipeline composite skin is completed.

[0041] The composite skin forming tool of the utility model is different from the common straight cylinder type skin in the prior art, and is a special-shaped cylinder structure, that is, the profile of the structure has multiple curvatures and multiple bends. In addition, due to the small space of the special-shaped cylinder structure pipeline, the composite skin forming tool of the utility model adopts a male mold forming mode, can realize manual laying, solves the technical problem that manual laying cannot be performed due to the adoption of a female mold forming mode in the prior art, and simultaneously solves the problems that the special-shaped pipeline skin is difficult to demold and is difficult to lay in the prior art. Meanwhile, the composite skin forming tool of the utility model solves the technical problem of tooling co-curing glue jointing by means of the ingenious block design, effectively improves the glue jointing quality, and obtains good effects in actual application.

[0042] The above merely describes preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, some improvements and refinements can be made without departing from the principles of the present application, and these improvements and refinements should also be considered within the protection scope of the present application.
