Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of composite material molding technology, and in particular to a molding die for a fishbone-type carbon fiber rib. Background Technology

[0002] Composite material molding is a manufacturing process that combines fiber reinforcement with matrix materials through specific processes to form high-performance products. The core processes include lay-up, curing / sintering, and demolding. Common methods include hand lay-up, autoclave, RTM, and automated tape lay-up. The molding process requires control of temperature, pressure, and time to ensure uniform material wetting, low porosity, and accurate dimensions. Composite material molding is widely used in aerospace, automotive, and wind power fields, and has advantages such as lightweight, high strength, and corrosion resistance.

[0003] The prior art discloses the molding of composite material ribs, which are commonly used in aircraft structural components such as wings or fuselages to support the skin, maintain the cross-sectional shape of the wing, and play a role in structural support, load transfer, and weight reduction. The ribs are often molded individually in the form of rib boxes and then manufactured by gluing and assembling tooling. However, the integral male mold has undercut details, which are inconvenient to process and make product demolding difficult. At the same time, the mold does not have a dust removal function, and impurities are easy to adhere to, thus affecting the use of the mold. Utility Model Content
