[0002] There are generally three types of forming processes for composite material parts, i.e., hot press tank, OOA and liquid forming process. A die is a necessary process equipment in forming. Typical products include fuselage skin, wing skin, flat tail skin and tail skin. The die needs to bear different pressures and temperatures due to the process, product temperature resistance and product performance requirements. Therefore, in order to effectively improve the service life of the die, the die material is usually made of aluminum alloy, steel, glass steel, carbon fiber and short fiber 3D printing materials, so that the die manufacturing cost is high and the manufacturing cycle is long. This is relatively high in cost performance for enterprises that need to produce the same model of products for a long time, but for laboratories that need to develop technology, the die of a certain size needs to be replaced after the development of a product of a certain shape (structure / model) is completed, that is, the die itself needs to be used for a short period of time. Therefore, the composite material forming die with high manufacturing cost and long manufacturing cycle is not suitable for technology development laboratories that need to replace the die frequently to adapt to different product development.

[0029] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing different structures of the application. In order to simplify the disclosure of the application, the components and arrangements of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the application. In addition, the present application can repeatedly refer to numbers and / or letters in different examples. Such repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity, and in itself does not indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed. In addition, the present application provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those skilled in the art can realize the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0030] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The composite material universal forming die provided by the embodiment of the application comprises two support frames 1, a frame 2, a steel plate 3 and a profile part 4.

[0031] The two support frames 1 and the frame 2 are both welded from profile steel, and the profile steel is GB / T6728-2017 "cold-bending hollow profile steel for structure". The model of the profile steel can effectively ensure that the support frame 1 and the frame 2 have sufficient support strength, and the support frame 1 and the frame 2 can be subjected to vibration treatment after being welded to eliminate welding stress. The outer surface of the support frame 1 and the outer surface of the frame 2 are successively sprayed with a sandblasting layer, a primer layer and a topcoat layer. The long-term service life of the support frame 1 and the frame 2 can be effectively improved.

[0032] The bottom surface of the frame 2 is provided with two clamping grooves 5 (not labeled in the figure) matched with the support frame 1. The clamping grooves are made by surrounding the bottom surface of the frame 2 with a section steel and fixedly welded. In use, the top surface of the support frame 1 is clamped in the clamping grooves. The clamping connection makes the user of the forming die in actual application process can select the appropriate height of the support frame according to the actual needs, so as to improve the actual use comfort. From the above analysis, the frame 2 and the support frame 1 are connected in a detachable manner to achieve the above purpose / effect. The specific connection between the frame 2 and the support frame 1 is not limited to the clamping method, and other detachable connection methods known in the art are also applicable to the present application.

[0033] The steel plate 3 is made of galvanized embossed steel plate. It has excellent corrosion resistance, and can improve the support force and adhesion of the profiled part 3. The thickness of the steel plate 3 is greater than 5 mm. In actual application process, when the product size is too long, the standard galvanized embossed steel plate is not long enough, and multiple galvanized embossed steel plates need to be used for tailor welding. After tailor welding, the steel plate 3 needs to be tested for weld gas tightness, which needs to meet the requirements of aviation standard HB 53242 (vacuum degree is not less than-0.092 MPa and remains stable, within 10 minutes after stopping pumping, the vacuum degree should not decrease by more than 0.017 MPa). The steel plate 3 is fixed on the frame 2 by intermittent welding, the profiled part 4 is adhered to the steel plate 3 by two-component structural adhesive, the profiled part 4 is made of wood, and the surface roughness of the profiled part 4 is not less than Ra1.6. The application prepares a forming die by using wood to set a profiled part and fixing it on the steel plate 3 by two-component structural adhesive. On the one hand, it can effectively reduce the overall preparation cost and preparation period of the forming die. On the other hand, when new product development is needed, the entire forming die does not need to be replaced, but only the profiled part 4 needs to be removed from the steel plate 3, and the new profiled part 4 corresponding to the new product needs to be adhered. The overall replacement cost is low, the replacement period is short, and it is very suitable for technical research and development rooms which need to replace the forming die structure frequently. In actual application process, the application can select and replace profiled parts 4 of different types of wood according to the actual forming process needs, so that the forming die can adapt to hot press tank, OOA, liquid forming and other forming processes, and has wide application range.

[0034] For example, when the service temperature of the forming mold is normal temperature and the pressure resistance is 0.1 MPa, the profiled part 4 can be made of ordinary wood (for example, high-density board, poplar or pine). When prepared, the wood is spliced and bonded on the steel plate 3 by using a normal-temperature two-component structural adhesive, after the structural adhesive is cured, the forming mold is placed on a machine tool for processing and line marking, after the processing is completed, a layer of unsaturated resin or epoxy resin with a temperature resistance not lower than 40°C is applied on the surface of the profiled part 4, after the processing is completed, the surface of the profiled part 4 is polished to ensure that the surface roughness is not less than Ra1.6. The profiled part 4 of this type is suitable for normal-temperature bag pressing and hand paste process and vacuum introduction process.

[0035] When the service temperature of the forming mold is 60-70°C and the pressure resistance is 0.1 MPa, the profiled part 4 can be made of a fir wood material with a hardness of 70-74 shordD, a thermal expansion coefficient of (40-45) X 10-6 K-1, a thermal deformation temperature of 75-80°C, a bending strength of 35-40 MPa, a compression strength of 49-55 MPa and a tensile strength of 25-30 MPa. When prepared, the fir wood material is spliced and bonded on the steel plate 3 by using a two-component structural adhesive with a temperature resistance of 80°C, after the structural adhesive is cured, the forming mold is placed on a machine tool for processing and line marking, after the processing is completed, the surface of the profiled part 4 is polished to ensure that the surface roughness is not less than Ra1.6. The profiled part 4 of this type is suitable for bag pressing and hand paste process, vacuum introduction process and OOA process (the highest curing temperature is not higher than 70°C).

[0036] When the service temperature of the forming mold is 120°C and the pressure resistance is 0.1-0.3 MPa, the profiled part 4 can be made of a fir wood material with a hardness of 70-75 shordD, a thermal expansion coefficient of (40-45) X 10-6 K-1, a thermal deformation temperature of 120-130°C, a bending strength of 35-40-45 MPa, a compression strength of 85-90 MPa and a tensile strength of 25-30 MPa. When prepared, the fir wood material is spliced and bonded on the steel plate 3 by using a two-component structural adhesive with a temperature resistance of 120°C, after the structural adhesive is cured, the forming mold is placed on a machine tool for processing and line marking, after the processing is completed, the surface of the profiled part 4 is polished to ensure that the surface roughness is not less than Ra1.6. The profiled part 4 of this type is suitable for bag pressing and hand paste process, vacuum introduction process, OOA process and autoclave process (the highest curing temperature is not higher than 120°C).

[0037] The general forming die of the composite material provided by the embodiments of the present application is described in detail above, and the principles and implementation manners of the present application are described by applying specific examples. The above embodiment description is only used to help understand the technical solutions of the present application and the core ideas thereof. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments can still be modified, or some technical features thereof can be replaced equivalently; and the modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
