The invention provides a forming tool and a preparation method of a variable-thickness composite
pipe fitting. In the tool, the two ends of a forming die are fixedly installed on supporting columns at the two ends through screws correspondingly; the profile surface of the forming die is arranged according to the profile surface of the inner wall of the
composite material pipe fitting, and target heads are arranged in allowance areas of the two ends of the forming die respectively; in the paving process of the
composite material pipe fitting, accurate positioning of a paving layer area is achieved through cooperation of the target head and the
laser projection equipment; when the
pipe fitting is demoulded, the demoulding
assembly is mounted on a forming mould through the connecting piece so as to demould the
pipe fitting, the annular top plate of the demoulding
assembly is in contact with the end face of the formed
composite material pipe fitting, and displacement is provided for the annular top plate through the fixing ring attached to the annular top plate, so that demoulding of the composite material pipe fitting is completed. The method solves the problems that variable-thickness pipe fittings are difficult in thickness control, multiple in wrinkles, easy to damage during demolding and the like, improves the product quality and the production efficiency, and is suitable for
batch manufacturing of complex pipe fittings in the fields of
aerospace, automobiles and the like.
