[0036] Example 1
[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, a composite material reinforcing rib structure includes: a composite material body 100 and a reinforcing rib portion 200.
[0038] The composite body 100 includes a main body 110 and a connecting part 120. The connecting part 120 is connected to one side of the main body 110. A reducing adhesive weakening groove 111 is formed on the side of the main body 110 where the connecting part 120 is located, close to the connecting part 120.
[0039] Specifically, the composite material body 100 is configured as a continuous fiber composite material part.
[0040] Continuous fiber composite parts are high-performance structural materials that use long fibers (such as glass fiber, carbon fiber or aramid fiber) as reinforcing phases and combine them with matrix materials (such as resin, metal or ceramic).
[0041] Continuous fiber composite material parts can provide higher strength and stiffness than traditional materials; while maintaining a lower density, thus having a significant weight advantage over traditional materials such as metals; while having good corrosion resistance; and can optimize the performance of specific areas by changing the direction, layering method and thickness of the fibers to meet different mechanical requirements; in addition, continuous fiber composite materials have good fatigue resistance; can withstand repeated loading without being easily damaged, especially carbon fiber reinforced plastics have a near-zero or very low thermal expansion coefficient, which is crucial for precise size control.
[0042] The reinforcing rib part 200 is connected to the connecting part 120.
[0043] Specifically, the reinforcing rib part 200 is provided as an engineering plastic part.
[0044] Engineering plastic parts refer to parts made of plastic materials with excellent mechanical properties, thermal stability and chemical resistance. Compared with general-purpose plastics, engineering plastics can work in more severe environments and usually have higher strength, rigidity, wear resistance and dimensional stability.
[0045] Engineering plastics can withstand large loads without deformation or breakage, suitable for structural parts; can maintain physical and mechanical properties at high temperatures, suitable for high-temperature applications. At the same time, it has good chemical stability and electrical insulation performance; can be processed by various forming processes such as injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, etc., easy to realize complex shape design.
[0046] In the prior art, most of them use two-step forming method, first mold forming composite material main body 100 of continuous fiber composite material, then secondary inlay injection molding forming reinforcing rib part 200, although the appearance is not affected by shrinkage, but the process and mold cost is relatively high.
[0047] In the present embodiment, a glue-weakening groove 111 is formed on the side of the main body part 110 where the connecting part 120 is located, close to the connecting part 120, so that when the composite material main body 100 and the reinforcing rib part 200 are formed, the shrinkage formed by the reinforcing rib part 200 on the appearance of the main body part 110 can be offset, the appearance quality is not affected by the rib position, the structural design freedom is improved, and the process and tooling investment cost is reduced.
[0048] As shown in Figure 1 On the basis of the above embodiment, the composite material main body 100 and the reinforcing rib part 200 are integrally formed by mold injection.
[0049] In this embodiment, the composite body 100 and the reinforcing rib 200 are integrally formed by compression molding, which reduces the process steps and time, and also reduces the process and tooling costs. Since the shrinkage groove 111 on the body 110 can offset the shrinkage marks formed by the reinforcing rib 200 on the appearance of the body 110, there is no need to consider the appearance impact caused by compression molding.
[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the adhesive-reducing weakening groove 111 is configured as an arc-shaped groove.
[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the depth b of the arc-shaped groove is not less than 0.2 times the thickness a of the main body 110 and not greater than 0.5 times the thickness a of the main body 110, and the width c of the arc-shaped groove is not less than 1.5 times the depth b of the arc-shaped groove and not greater than 2 times the depth b of the arc-shaped groove.
[0052] In this embodiment, the depth and width of the arc groove are set in such a way that the strength of the main body 110 is guaranteed while offsetting the shrinkage formed by the reinforcing rib 200 on the appearance of the main body 110.
[0053] Example 2
[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, the difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that the adhesive reduction and weakening groove 111 is set as a rectangular groove, while the other structures are the same.
[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the depth b of the rectangular groove is not less than 0.2 times the thickness a of the main body 110 and not greater than 0.5 times the thickness a of the main body 110, and the width c of the rectangular groove is not less than 1.5 times the depth b of the rectangular groove and not greater than 2 times the depth b of the rectangular groove.
[0056] In this embodiment, the depth and width of the rectangular groove are set in such a way that the shrinkage formed by the reinforcing rib 200 on the appearance of the main body 110 is offset, while the strength of the main body 110 is guaranteed.
