[0002] Among existing composite material stiffened panel structures for fuselages, the T-shaped stiffened panel is simple in structure, has good strength and rigidity, requires fewer modules, does not require specialized equipment, has a high manufacturing success rate, and low production cost. However, in the hot pressing and remolding process of resin materials, the mold plays a crucial role. It not only determines the shape and size of the final product but also directly affects its quality and performance. In particular, the uniformity of the thermal and deformation fields of the mold at high temperatures has a significant impact on the internal stress and resilience of the product. Therefore, the mold's shape design, the position of heating rods and cooling pipes, and the accuracy of thermocouple detection are especially important. Thus, designing a resin material hot pressing and remolding mold with uniform and controllable temperature and deformation fields is particularly necessary. Summary of the Invention

[0070] The temperature field and deformation field of the molds in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were simulated using Ansys software.
[0071] Figure 3 shows the temperature field diagram of the mold cross section during the heating process of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-2. As can be seen from the figure, the heating method of Example 1 is more uniform, so that the mold reaches a completely uniform temperature state in 1326s, while Comparative Examples 1 and 2 require 1515s to achieve the same effect. This shows that the present invention (Example 1) can heat the mold to the required temperature more quickly and uniformly.
[0072] Figure 4 shows the temperature field diagram of the mold cross section during the cooling process of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-2. As can be seen from the figure, the mold interior of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 can be uniformly cooled to room temperature at 3600s. In Example 1, the mold temperature in the mold closing area of the product is reduced to 25°C at 3031s. This indicates that the present invention (Example 1) can maintain better temperature field uniformity during the mold cooling process.
[0073] Figure 5 shows the changes in mold deformation with heating and cooling time for Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-2. As can be seen from the figure, the maximum deformation of the mold in Example 1, Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 is 0.07025, 0.09179 and 0.11111 mm, respectively, and is mainly distributed at the corners, indicating that the present invention (Example 1) exhibits a smaller deformation.
[0074] Figure 6 shows a comparison of the appearance quality of the T-shaped stiffened panel before and after hot bending molding in Example 1. The left column shows the appearance before hot bending molding, and the right column shows the appearance after hot bending molding. As can be seen from the figure, the product has a good appearance after hot bending molding using the hot bending molding mold of Example 1, with no oxidation defects or cracking. At the same time, the chord length of the T-shaped stiffened panel after hot bending molding was measured to evaluate the springback of the panel. The theoretical chord length of the product is 975 mm, and the actual measured length is 976.5 mm, with a springback rate of about 0.15%, both of which are maintained at a low level. The product shows excellent hot bending molding accuracy.
