[0003] However, some honeycomb core aluminum panels on the market still have shortcomings in terms of process and material matching, resulting in strength that does not meet the ideal state, or in the failure to fully tap the potential in terms of lightweighting.
[0004] Therefore, a lightweight, high-strength honeycomb core aluminum plate is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the problem that some honeycomb core aluminum panels on the market still have shortcomings in terms of process and material matching, resulting in unsatisfactory strength or insufficient potential in terms of lightweighting.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0025] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.
[0026] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0027] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment proposes a lightweight high-strength honeycomb core layer aluminum plate, including an aluminum plate substrate 1, and a composite mechanism 2 for improving the strength of the aluminum plate substrate 1 is provided on the surface of the aluminum plate substrate 1.
[0028] The composite structure 2 includes a honeycomb core layer 201 disposed on the outer surface of the aluminum plate substrate 1, an anti-creep adhesive layer 202 disposed on the outer surface of the honeycomb core layer 201, a reinforcing layer 203 for improving bending stiffness disposed on the outer side of the adhesive layer 202, a panel layer 204 disposed on the reinforcing layer 203, and a surface functional layer 205 disposed on the outer surface of the panel layer 204.
[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the aluminum plate substrate 1 is further made of aluminum-lithium alloy material plate as the supporting base of the overall structure, providing initial stiffness, which is higher than that of traditional aluminum alloys (such as 6061-T6, 2.7g / cm). 3 It reduces weight by 8-10%, and the fatigue limit of aluminum-lithium alloy reaches 200MPa, while the fatigue crack propagation rate is reduced by 30% compared with traditional aluminum alloy.
[0030] like Figure 3As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the honeycomb core layer 201 further adopts an aramid paper honeycomb structure. The honeycomb core layer 201 is hot-pressed and bonded to the aluminum plate substrate 1 with an epoxy resin film (temperature 120-150℃, pressure 0.5-1.0MPa). The density of the aramid paper honeycomb is only 40-80kg / m³. 3 It weighs only 50-60% of aluminum alloy honeycomb and 70-80% less than solid aluminum plates. The honeycomb hexagonal structure absorbs impact energy through controllable crushing deformation, with a specific energy absorption of 50-80 kJ / kg, which is 3-5 times that of solid aluminum plates.
[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the adhesive layer 202 is further made of modified epoxy resin film material. The adhesive layer 202 and the honeycomb core layer 201 are co-cured by hot pressing to form a chemical bond. The T-type peel strength of the modified epoxy film is ≥15N / cm, which far exceeds the standard of structural adhesives (≥8N / cm), ensuring long-term load-bearing without delamination.
[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the reinforcing layer 203 is made of carbon fiber reinforced polymer, which is co-cured with the adhesive layer 202 through a vacuum bag pressing process to form a molecular-level bond. The carbon fiber reinforced polymer increases the overall flexural modulus by 40-60% and the tensile strength reaches 1500MPa, which is 3-4 times that of aluminum alloy.
[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the panel layer 204 is made of 7075-T6 aluminum alloy and is hot-pressed together with the reinforcing layer 203. The surface is anodized (thickness ≥10μm) to improve the bonding force, resulting in ultra-high strength and a surface hardness of 150HB. Its scratch resistance is better than that of ordinary aluminum plates. After anodizing (thickness ≥10μm), a dense aluminum oxide film is formed on the surface, and its salt spray resistance reaches more than 1000h.
[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the surface functional layer 205 is further made of polyvinylidene fluoride fluorocarbon coating, which forms physical interlocking and chemical adsorption with the panel layer 204 through electrostatic spraying or roller coating process, providing weather resistance, self-cleaning and wear resistance.
[0035] Specifically, in use, the lightweight high-strength honeycomb core aluminum panel works as follows: the aluminum substrate 1 serves as the supporting base for the overall structure, providing initial rigidity; the honeycomb core layer 201 is hot-pressed to the aluminum substrate 1 via an epoxy resin film (temperature 120-150℃, pressure 0.5-1.0MPa); the adhesive layer 202 is co-cured with the honeycomb core layer 201 via hot pressing to form a chemical bond; the reinforcing layer 203 uses carbon fiber reinforced polymer, which is co-cured with the adhesive layer 202 via a vacuum bagging process to form a molecular-level bond; and the panel layer 204 uses 7... The 075-T6 aluminum alloy is hot-pressed and composited with the reinforcing layer 203. The surface is anodized (thickness ≥10μm) to improve the bonding strength. The surface functional layer 205 adopts a polyvinylidene fluoride fluorocarbon coating, which is formed with the panel layer 204 through electrostatic spraying or roller coating process to form physical interlocking and chemical adsorption. The honeycomb core layer 201 reduces the weight by 60-70%, and the aramid paper further reduces the weight by 30% compared with the aluminum alloy. The reinforcing layer 203 increases the bending stiffness by 2-3 times and significantly enhances the resistance to deformation. The honeycomb structure absorbs impact energy through controllable crushing and protects the core structure.
[0036] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.
[0037] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
