Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of composite material autoclaves, and in particular to a composite material autoclave. Background Technology

[0002] Composite materials are new materials composed of two or more material components with different properties through artificial design and combination. They have structural designability and synergistic performance effects. When processing composite materials, autoclaves are usually used. An autoclave is a type of equipment used for high-temperature and high-pressure curing and molding of composite materials.

[0003] Existing composite material autoclaves typically include an autoclave body, a support frame, a sealing cap, and a controller. The sealing cap is rotatably connected to the autoclave body to seal the interior of the autoclave. The support frame supports the bottom of the autoclave body. The controller is located inside the autoclave body, and a support frame is provided inside the autoclave body. The composite material is then placed using an external moving frame, which is then pushed into the interior of the autoclave body and moves on the support frame to close the sealing cap, thus enabling the composite material to be hot-pressed.

[0004] The autoclave controller is connected to the autoclave via a bracket, allowing for control of the autoclave. The controller has a control panel, which includes a display screen and operation buttons. The control panel is usually exposed to the outside, and when the autoclave is not in use, the controller is idle. The control panel may become contaminated or damaged due to the continuous accumulation of dirt or accidental contact during material handling outside the autoclave. Therefore, it is necessary to protect the control panel of the autoclave controller by shielding it. Utility Model Content

[0038] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0039] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-5 The image shows a composite material autoclave.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] The system includes an autoclave 1, a sealing cap 3, a controller 4, and a protective mechanism 5. The working principle of the autoclave 1 for hot pressing composite materials is as follows: the prepreg of the composite material is laid on a mold according to a preset layup sequence, and then the blank is sealed in a vacuum bag and placed in the autoclave. Under vacuum conditions, the autoclave equipment promotes the curing of composite material parts by heating, pressurizing, heat preservation, cooling and depressurization through processes such as heating, pressurizing, heat preservation, cooling and depressurization. The working principle of the autoclave is consistent with existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The sealing cap 3 helps to seal the inside of the autoclave 1. The bottom of the autoclave 1 is fixedly connected to a support frame 2, which helps to support the autoclave 1. The sealing cap 3 is rotatably connected to the autoclave 1. The controller 4 is installed on the autoclave 1. The front of the controller 4 is equipped with a display screen and operation buttons. The protective mechanism 5 is located on the controller 4 and is used to externally shield and protect the display screen and operation buttons.

[0042] Furthermore, the protection mechanism 5 includes a protective cover 51, a connector, and a limiting member. The protective cover 51 is beneficial for shielding and protecting the front of the controller 4, thereby shielding and protecting the display screen and operation buttons. This prevents external dirt from continuously adhering to the display screen and operation buttons when the autoclave 1 is not in use, and also prevents external objects from accidentally colliding with the display screen and operation buttons, thereby improving the safety of using the controller 4. The protective cover 51 is installed on the outside of the controller 4. The connector is located at the bottom of the controller 4 and is used to connect the protective cover 51 to the controller 4. The limiting member is located at the top of the controller 4.

[0043] Furthermore, the protective mechanism 5 also includes a rubber plate 55 and a shielding frame 56. The rubber plate 55 facilitates insertion with the protective cover 51, providing support for the protective cover 51. The shielding frame 56 is L-shaped, which helps to limit the rotational position of the protective cover 51. Figure 4 As shown, the rubber plate 55 is fixedly connected to the front of the controller 4 and is located inside the protective cover 51. The shield 56 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the controller 4 and is used to limit the position of the protective cover 51 after it is rotated.

[0044] Specifically, the connecting components include a fixed plate 52, a rotating frame 53, and a fixed shaft 54. The fixed plate 52 facilitates the rotation of the fixed shaft 54 ​​and provides support for the fixed shaft 54. The rotating frame 53 is L-shaped, which facilitates the rotation of the protective cover 51. The fixed shaft 54 ​​facilitates the rotation of the rotating frame 53 around its center, which facilitates the protective cover 51 to cover or open the control panel. The fixed plate 52 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the controller 4, and the rotating frame 53 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective cover 51. The rotating frame 53 is located between adjacent fixed plates 52. One end of the fixed shaft 54 ​​is fixedly connected to the rotating frame 53, and the outer wall of the fixed shaft 54 ​​is rotatably interlocked with the fixed plate 52.

[0045] Specifically, the limiting components include a connecting block 57, a fixing block 58, and a limiting frame 59. The connecting block 57 supports the limiting frame 59, allowing it to rotate. The fixing block 58 engages with the limiting frame 59 to limit and fix the protective cover 51 when it rotates to a vertical position. The limiting frame 59 is U-shaped and made of elastic band material, which facilitates its attachment to the fixing block 58 and limits the relative position of the connecting block 57 and the fixing block 58. The connecting block 57 is fixedly connected to the top of the protective cover 51, and the fixing block 58 is fixedly connected to the top of the controller 4. The limiting frame 59 is rotatably mounted on the connecting block 57 and is sleeved on the outside of the fixing block 58.

[0046] Example 2

[0047] Based on Embodiment 1, the limiting component further includes a first circular groove, a mounting shaft 510, and a mounting ring. The mounting shaft 510 facilitates the rotation of the limiting frame 59 on it, making it easy to install and disassemble the limiting frame 59. The mounting ring helps to limit the position of the mounting shaft 510, making it easy to install and disassemble the mounting shaft 510. The first circular groove is opened on the side of the limiting frame 59. The mounting shaft 510 is slidably inserted into the inner cavity of the first circular groove. The mounting shaft 510 is slidably inserted into the connecting block 57. The mounting ring is threadedly inserted into the outside of the mounting shaft 510.

[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
