Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of epoxy resin prepreg preparation technology, and in particular to a preparation device for a storage-resistant, low-temperature curing epoxy resin prepreg. Background Technology
[0002] Prepregs are composites of resin and reinforcing fibers, serving as crucial intermediate materials in the preparation of resin-based composites. Composites manufactured using prepreg technology exhibit precise resin content and stable product quality, making it a preferred choice for many critical components. Based on curing temperature, prepregs can be categorized into high-temperature curing, medium-temperature curing, and low-temperature curing prepregs. Low-temperature curing composites offer advantages such as lower curing temperatures, less internal stress during curing, and lower manufacturing costs. Furthermore, the mechanical properties and heat resistance of the composites can be improved through post-demolding high-temperature post-treatment processes, representing a significant development direction for low-cost composite manufacturing technology. Antenna hoods are frequently made from this material.
[0003] However, the process of preparing low-temperature curing composite materials using prepreg is relatively complex, and the control of time and temperature is quite strict. In the common prepreg preparation process, the roll pressing and winding operation often uses opposing rollers to assist in pressing and limit the traction and winding. During the process, the prepreg is directly exposed to the external environment, and dust and other contaminants can easily adhere and cause large temperature fluctuations. In addition, the prepreg film between the rollers is prone to vibration. When cutting the edges, uneven force can easily lead to continuous cut marks on the cut edges, which are not smooth enough. Furthermore, the prepreg has a certain elastic recovery ability. The contact surface of the roll pressing is narrow and the rolling time is short, which can easily lead to unevenness on the sides of the prepreg film. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for preparing a storage-resistant, low-temperature curing epoxy resin prepreg, which can press and shape the prepreg film in opposite directions, so that both sides can be fully compressed and adhered and kept smooth for a longer period of time, avoiding the problem of unevenness caused by the two sides rebounding after pressing, and avoiding the problem of continuous cuts caused by the prepreg film being suspended and vibrating.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, a preparation apparatus for a storage-resistant, low-temperature curing epoxy resin prepreg is provided, comprising: a bottom frame, wherein a plurality of pillars are symmetrically fixed to the top of the bottom frame in a cross shape, a first isolation chamber is fixedly connected to the top of each pillar, an electric lifting seat is symmetrically fitted to the top of the first isolation chamber, a second isolation chamber is fixedly connected to the top output end of the electric lifting seat, isolation rings are symmetrically fitted to the outer edges of the left and right sides of the second and first isolation chambers, and the upper and lower opposite sides of the isolation rings are fixedly connected by elastic cloth, a horizontal sliding plate is fixedly connected inside the opposite sides of the first and second isolation chambers, a pressure belt is slidably fitted to the outer side of each horizontal sliding plate, pulleys are fitted to the left and right sides of each pressure belt, and bushings are rotatably fitted to the front and rear ends of each pulley, the opposite sides of each bushing extending into the inner walls of the first and second isolation chambers and fixedly connected to them, wherein the middle The bushings at the left rear of the horizontal slide are all replaced with servo motors. The front output end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the pulley. Semi-circular cutters are symmetrically mounted on the middle of the opposite side of the pressing belt. The lower part of the opposite side of the semi-circular cutter is fixedly connected to the first isolation chamber. The opposite side of the semi-circular cutter is horizontally attached to the side of the pressing belt and slides with it. By setting up a tracked pressing belt, in conjunction with the horizontal slide and pulley, the prepreg film is pressed and shaped in opposite directions, so that both sides can be fully squeezed and attached and kept smooth for a long time, avoiding the problem of unevenness caused by the two sides rebounding after pressing. At the same time, it is linearly conveyed in the planar pressing state, and the semi-circular cutter is used to cut the prepreg film by horizontally attaching to the two sides of the pressing belt. The prepreg film in the pressing state can maintain a horizontal and stable linear feed, avoiding the problem of continuous cuts caused by the prepreg film being suspended and vibrating.
[0006] According to the apparatus for preparing a storage-resistant, low-temperature curing epoxy resin prepreg, a discharge cylinder is vertically mounted below the right side of each semi-circular cutter, and the discharge cylinder extends downwards to the bottom of the first isolation chamber. This discharges the cut-off scrap material outside the isolation chamber, preventing its accumulation and potential blockage.
[0007] According to the aforementioned apparatus for preparing a storage-resistant, low-temperature curing epoxy resin prepreg, a recycling bin is mounted directly below each of the discharge cylinders. An annular base frame is fitted around the bottom of each recycling bin, and a rotating bracket extends and is fixed to the upper part of the opposite side of each annular base frame. The top of each rotating bracket is fitted and fixed to a first isolation chamber. This allows for the centralized collection of cut-off corner strips while facilitating the stable mounting of the recycling bins.
[0008] According to the apparatus for preparing a storage-resistant, low-temperature curing epoxy resin prepreg, the isolation ring is designed with corrugations in the left and right directions and is made of thermal insulation material. This facilitates its adaptable extension and bending for sealing connection with other processes.
[0009] According to the apparatus for preparing a storage-resistant, low-temperature curing epoxy resin prepreg, the bottom surface of the bottom frame is covered with an elastic rubber pad. This pad allows for adaptive deformation and coverage of dust and other impurities on the placement surface when the container is placed horizontally, maintaining overall stability.
[0010] According to the apparatus for preparing a storage-resistant, low-temperature curing epoxy resin prepreg, both the upper and lower surfaces of the horizontal sliding plate are covered with a sliding film, which corresponds to and slides in contact with the pressure belt. This reduces the coefficient of friction between the pressure belt and the horizontal sliding plate during continuous operation.
[0011] According to the apparatus for preparing a storage-resistant, low-temperature curing epoxy resin prepreg, the servo motors are electrically coupled with a synchronization control unit. This ensures that the two pressure belts maintain the same conveying speed, avoiding force differences between the upper and lower sides.
[0012] According to the apparatus for preparing a storage-resistant, low-temperature curing epoxy resin prepreg, an anti-adhesion film is provided on the outer surface of the pressing belt to prevent adhesion problems during horizontal bonding and pressing.
[0013] The above-mentioned solution has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] In this invention, a tracked pressing belt, in conjunction with a horizontal sliding plate and pulleys, is used to press and shape the prepreg film in opposite directions. This allows both sides to be fully compressed and adhered, maintaining a smooth shape for a longer period. This avoids the problem of the prepreg film springing back after pressing, resulting in unevenness. Simultaneously, the film is linearly conveyed in a planar pressing state, and a semi-circular cutter is used to trim the edges of the prepreg film by horizontally pressing the edges of the pressing belt. The prepreg film in the pressing state can maintain a stable linear feed, avoiding the problem of continuous cuts caused by vibration due to the prepreg film being suspended in the air.
[0015] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description
