Abstract

Fibre reinforced plastic components are made by placing a stack of prepregs (1) between two release films (2) and fusing them with a pressure plate (4) and a gaseous, liquid or solid heated medium (3). Immediately afterwards the component is shaped by the same medium (3). Also claimed is an analogous process where the stack of prepregs is fused and then shaped only by the heated medium. Also claimed is the process of simultaneous consolidation of several stacks of prepregs, with release film between them, by the heated medium. Also claimed is the simultaneous forming of two different components in the two halves of the mould by introducing the heated medium between two stacks of prepregs. Preferably the upper tool (5) is cooled (10) and has a heating ring (6) mounted on an insulating layer (7). The lower tool (4) is a hot plate (9). Hot compressed air (3) is supplied to consolidate the stack (1). Pressure in the upper tool cavity is then reduced to atmospheric or vacuum and the component formed. As it contacts the cold tool any irregularities in the surface are smoothed out. Cold flushing air is finally fed in to release the component. Variants shown are where the lower tool is replaced by another hot air cavity, or where the process is used to produce a stack of flat sheets or where two components are formed simultaneously in opposing mould spaces by introducing hot compressed air between two stacks of prepregs with a lance.

Description

Die Herstellung von Halbzeugen und Formteilen aus langfaserverstärkten Kunststoffen ist bekannt und erfolgt auf folgende Weisen:The production of semi-finished products and molded parts from long fiber reinforced plastics is known and takes place in the following ways:

  • - Imprägnieren von Verstärkungsfasern mit Kunststoffmatrix. Hierfür sind mehrere Möglichkeiten bekannt.- Impregnation of reinforcing fibers with a plastic matrix. There are several for this Possibilities known.
  • - Konsolidieren von Prepregs zu plattenförmigen Halbzeugen- Consolidation of prepregs into plate-shaped semi-finished products
  • - Verformung der plattenförmigen Halbzeuge zu Formteilen- Deformation of the plate-shaped semi-finished products into molded parts

Das Imprägnieren und Konsolidieren erfolgt konventionell auf Doppelband- oder Etagenpressen.The impregnation and consolidation takes place conventionally on double belt or Floor presses.

Nach beiden Verfahrensweisen entstehen Halbzeuge in Analogie zu Blechen der Metallverarbeitung, die dann kundenbezogen weiterverarbeitet werden.According to both procedures, semi-finished products are created in analogy to sheet metal Metal processing, which is then further processed in a customer-specific manner.

Dies ist mit folgenden Nachteilen verbunden:
Es ist eine erneute Erwärmung des konsolidierten Halbzeuges, verbunden mit doppelten Energieeinsatz, erforderlich. Dabei kann es zur thermischen Schädigung des Matrixwerkstoffes kommen.
This has the following disadvantages:
It is necessary to reheat the consolidated semi-finished product combined with double the use of energy. This can lead to thermal damage to the matrix material.

Weiterhin ist auf Doppelbandpressen eine bauteilgerechte Faserplatzierung nur näherungsweise realisierbar. Furthermore, on double belt presses, component-specific fiber placement is only approximate realizable.  

Für die Verformung der plattenförmigen Halbzeuge zu Formteilen sind eine Reihe von Verfahren bekannt, als naheliegendes Verfahren wird in der DE 37 27 926 A1 ein Verfahren vorgestellt, mit dem zur Realisierung des Arbeitsschrittes Umformung ein vorkonsolidierter Halbzeugzuschnitt über eine Hilfsfolie, bestehend aus Aluminium, Gummi oder Kunststoff und unter Verwendung eines gasförmigen oder flüssigen Druckmediums in eine einteilige Form gedrückt wird.For the deformation of the plate-shaped semi-finished products into molded parts a number of methods are known, as an obvious method is in the DE 37 27 926 A1 presented a method with which to implement the work step Forming a pre-consolidated semi-finished product using an auxiliary film consisting of Aluminum, rubber or plastic and using a gaseous or liquid Media is pressed into a one-piece form.

Das Konsolidieren des Zuschnittes erfolgt außerhalb des Werkzeuges.The blank is consolidated outside the tool.

Dies ist vor allem bei der Verarbeitung von Matrixwerkstoffen, die einen engen Temperaturbereich für die Umformung aufweisen, nachteilig.This is especially true when processing matrix materials that are tight Have temperature range for the deformation, disadvantageous.

Der Prepregstapel kühlt während des Transfers von der Wärmequelle in das Umformwerkzeug und noch stärker bei Berührung an Werkzeugpartien schlagartig unter die Verarbeitungstemperatur ab, so daß eine faltenfreie Umformung nicht mehr möglich wird. Ein anderes Verfahren (WO 89/10253) führt aus diesem Grund im Umformwerkzeug nochmals Wärme nach. Nachteilig dabei ist die erforderliche längere Zykluszeit.The prepreg stack cools during transfer from the heat source to the forming tool and even more suddenly when touching tool parts under the Processing temperature from, so that a wrinkle-free forming is no longer possible. On For this reason, another method (WO 89/10253) leads again in the forming tool Heat after. A disadvantage here is the longer cycle time required.

Erfindungsgemäß erfolgen Konsolidierung und Umformung auf einem Werkzeug, entweder durch einseitige oder durch doppelseitige Beaufschlagung eines Prepregstapels mit einem gasförmigen, flüssigen o.a. Medium. Dabei sind die einzelnen Prepregs außerhalb des Werkzeuges bis auf ein Temperaturniveau unterhalb der Verarbeitungstemperatur bereits erwärmt.According to the invention, consolidation and forming take place on one tool, either by one-sided or double-sided loading of a prepreg stack with one gaseous, liquid or the like Medium. The individual prepregs are outside the Tool down to a temperature level below the processing temperature warmed up.

Erfolgt die Konsolidierung des Prepregstapels durch einseitige Beaufschlagung mit erhitztem Medium, vornehmlich mit erhitzter Druckluft, wird als Gegenform eine ebenfalls beheizte Platte verwendet (Fig. 1). In ein geöffnetes Werkzeug wird der Prepregstapel (1), eingebettet in zwei umformtüchtige temperaturbeständige Trennfolien (2) eingelegt.If the prepreg stack is consolidated by one-sided exposure to heated medium, primarily heated compressed air, a likewise heated plate is used as the counterform ( FIG. 1). The prepreg stack ( 1 ), embedded in two deformable, temperature-resistant separating foils ( 2 ), is placed in an open tool.

Das Werkzeugoberteil (5) ist mit einer Kühlung (10) versehen und über eine Dämmschicht (7) mit einem Heizring (6) verbunden. Das Werkzeugunterteil (4) ist über (9) heizbar ausgeführt.The upper part of the tool ( 5 ) is provided with cooling ( 10 ) and connected to a heating ring ( 6 ) via an insulation layer ( 7 ). The lower tool part ( 4 ) is heatable via ( 9 ).

Durch das einströmende erhitzte Medium (3) sowie Wärmefluß aus dem Werkzeugunterteil (9) erfolgt das Aufschmelzen des Matrixwerkstoffes und Verschweißen der Einzellagen (1) miteinander unter dem anstehenden Mediendruck. Nach Erreichen der für den Umformvorgang erforderlichen Viskosität im Matrixwerkstoff erfolgt Beaufschlagung mit erhitztem Medium (3) aus der unteren Werkzeugplatte (4), wobei vorher der Druck aus der Werkzeugkavität des Oberteiles (5) auf Normaldruck oder durch Anlegen von Vakuum auf einen niedrigeren Druck gesenkt wird. Bei Anlage des Prepregstapels (1, 2) an die kalte Werkzeugwand des Werkzeugoberteiles (5) werden konsolidierungsseitig bedingte Unebenheiten des Prepregstapels geglättet, unmittelbar danach erstarrt dieser im oberflächennahen Bereich sofort, eine weitere Erstarrung aus dem inneren wird erzielt durch Einleitung kalter Spülluft, dabei muß das Werkzeugoberteil (5) angelüftet werden.Due to the inflowing heated medium ( 3 ) and heat flow from the lower part of the tool ( 9 ), the matrix material is melted and the individual layers ( 1 ) are welded to one another under the medium pressure present. After the viscosity in the matrix material required for the forming process is reached, heated medium ( 3 ) is applied from the lower tool plate ( 4 ), the pressure from the tool cavity of the upper part ( 5 ) being reduced to normal pressure or by applying a vacuum to a lower pressure becomes. When the prepreg stack ( 1 , 2 ) is placed on the cold tool wall of the upper part of the tool ( 5 ), any unevenness in the prepreg stack caused by the consolidation is smoothed, immediately thereafter it solidifies in the area near the surface, further solidification from the inside is achieved by introducing cold purging air, thereby the upper part of the tool ( 5 ) can be lifted.

Erfolgt die Konsolidierung des Prepregstapels durch beidseitige Beaufschlagung mit erhitztem Medium, vornehmlich mit erhitzter Druckluft, ergibt sich die Möglichkeit, unter Verwendung nur eines Formwerkzeuges nacheinander zwei verschiedene Bauteile zu fertigen, indem nach Beendigung des Konsolidierungsvorganges die Druckbeaufschlagung entweder in die eine oder andere Richtung erfolgt (Fig. 2).If the prepreg stack is consolidated by exposure to heated medium on both sides, primarily with heated compressed air, it is possible to produce two different components in succession using only one molding tool, by either applying pressure in one direction or the other after the consolidation process has ended ( Fig. 2).

Der Werkzeugaufbau für Ober- und Unterteil (4, 5) entspricht sinngemäß der Darstellung nach Fig. 1, wobei sich die Werkzeugkavitäten gleichen oder unterscheiden können.The tool structure for the upper and lower part ( 4 , 5 ) corresponds analogously to the illustration according to FIG. 1, the tool cavities being the same or different.

Nach dem Anlegen des konsolidierten Materials an die gekühlte Werkzeugoberfläche erstarrt das Material zunächst wiederum oberflächennah. In der Folge wird an Stelle erhitzer, kalte Druckluft eingeblasen, wobei das Werkzeug in der Größenordnung 0,1-0,2 mm öffnet, und auf diese Weise einen Spülvorgang erlaubt. Nach ausreichender Erstarrung des Formteiles erfolgt dessen Entformung auf bekannte Weise.After the consolidated material has been applied to the cooled tool surface, it solidifies the material is again close to the surface. As a result, instead of it becomes heated, cold Blown in compressed air, the tool opening in the order of 0.1-0.2 mm, and open this allows a rinsing process. After the molded part has solidified sufficiently its demolding in a known manner.

Auf eine dritte Weise können in einem Arbeitsgang zwei aufeinanderliegende und nur durch Trennfolien voneinander getrennte Prepregstapel zu zwei verschiedenen oder gleichen Formteilen gleichzeitig umgeformt werden, indem nach Abschluß des Konsolidierungsvorganges das Druckmedium zwischen die beiden konsolidierten Stapel eingeleitet wird (Fig. 3).In a third way, two prepreg stacks lying on top of one another and only separated from one another by separating foils can be formed into two different or identical molded parts at the same time by introducing the printing medium between the two consolidated stacks after the consolidation process has been completed ( FIG. 3).

Das Werkzeug entspricht im Aufbau der Fig. 2. Nach Erzielung einer für die Verformung hinreichenden Viskosität erfolgt wiederum Druckentlastung in beiden Werkzeugkavitäten und in der Folge Eintrag des Druckmediums über die Lanze (11), dabei wirken die beiden innenliegenden Trennfolien (2) als Abdichtung auch im Bereich der eintauchenden Lanze.The structure of the tool corresponds to that of FIG. 2. After achieving a viscosity sufficient for the deformation, pressure is relieved in both tool cavities and subsequently the pressure medium is introduced via the lance ( 11 ), the two internal separating foils ( 2 ) also act as a seal in the area of the immersed lance.

Weiterhin können mehrere aufeinanderliegende, nur durch Trennfolien getrennte Prepregstapel durch einseitige oder beiderseitige Beaufschlagung mit einem o.g. Druckmedium konsolidiert werden (Fig. 4). Furthermore, a plurality of prepreg stacks lying one on top of the other, separated only by separating foils, can be consolidated by exposure to one or both sides of the above-mentioned printing medium ( FIG. 4).

Auf diese Weise ist unter Verwendung einfacher Betriebsmittel die Konsolidierung von Prepregstapeln möglich, da weder eine Doppelband- oder sonstige Presse benötigt wird. Über (8) erfolgt der Verschluß des Werkzeuges.In this way, the consolidation of prepreg stacks is possible using simple equipment, since neither a double-belt press or any other press is required. The tool is locked via ( 8 ).
