[0017] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0018] In the figure, the inner plate is 100; the outer plate is 200; the inner cavity is 300; the first upper mold is 401; the second upper mold is 402; the lower mold is 500; the air nozzle or water nozzle is 600; and the injection channel is 700.
[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this aerospace composite material component includes an inner plate 100 and an outer plate 200. Both the inner plate 100 and the outer plate 200 are composed of thermoplastic materials and are molded. They can be used for cabin doors, interior and exterior trim panels, and reinforcing beams, etc. The outer plate 200 is made of a resin matrix mixed with fibers. The resin matrix is one of PA66, PA6, PPS, or PC, and the fibers are glass fiber or carbon fiber. The fibers are distributed in a random orientation or oriented layup manner. Thus, the entire outer plate 200 is not only lightweight but also a recyclable material, making it more environmentally friendly. The thickness of the product can be set according to actual needs. In this embodiment, Taking aerospace composite material parts as an example, the thickness of the outer plate 200 is 0.22-2mm. Similarly, the inner plate 100 is made of resin matrix mixed with fiber. The resin matrix is one of PA66, PA6, PPS or PC, and the fiber is glass fiber or carbon fiber. The fiber is distributed in a random orientation or oriented layup manner. The thickness of the inner plate 100 is 0.22-2mm. In order to make the inner plate 100 and the outer plate 200 more bonded, the resin matrix of the inner plate 100 and the outer plate 200 have the same polarity and can be fused together, or additives are added between the resin matrix of the inner plate 100 and the outer plate 200 to make them fused together.
[0020] To increase the overall strength of the product and reduce its overall weight, the inner panel 100 and the outer panel 200 are thermoplastically molded into a single unit. A reinforced inner cavity 300 is formed between the inner panel 100 and the outer panel 200 through air-assisted or water-assisted molding. The axial extension direction of the inner cavity 300 is consistent with the stress direction of the composite material. Here, the inner cavity 300 not only reduces the weight but also greatly increases the bending stiffness between the reinforced inner panel and the outer panel 200. To facilitate the molding of the entire inner cavity 300, an air nozzle or water nozzle 600 is provided between the inner panel 100 and the outer panel 200.
[0021] like Figure 3As shown, this patent also provides a molding device for aerospace composite material parts, mainly including an upper mold and a lower mold 500. The upper mold is divided into a first upper mold 401 and a second upper mold 402. Here, the inner plate 100 and the outer plate 200 are molded separately. The inner plate 100 is pre-formed with gas or liquid channels by mold compression molding. The inner plate 100 is formed by compression molding through the first upper mold 401 and the lower mold. The outer plate 200 is flat. Here, there is a gas-assisted or water-assisted injection channel 700 between the upper mold and the lower mold 500. First, the pre-formed inner plate 100 is placed on the lower mold 500. An outer plate 200 is laid on the inner plate 100. After the second upper mold 402 and the lower mold 500 are closed, gas or liquid is injected through the injection channel 700 to simultaneously mold the aerospace composite material parts. Since the resin matrix of the inner plate 100 and the outer plate 200 have the same polarity, after heating during molding, the inner plate 100 and the outer plate 200 fuse into a whole. The entire product is integrally molded and includes the inner cavity 300. The entire device not only reduces the weight of the product, but also greatly increases the product strength and rigidity. Moreover, the material is recyclable, making it more environmentally friendly. Surface treatment does not require puttying, and the overall process is simple.
