Description

Fiber impregnation system
Technical Field
The invention relates to a fiber impregnation system, which is suitable for manufacturing fiber reinforced composite materials, in particular to a pultrusion process of polyurethane-based fiber reinforced composite materials.
Background
The traditional pultrusion process mainly adopts an open impregnation mode, namely, fibers or fabrics or felts pass through an impregnation tank with a compression roller or a compression rod, and the fibers with resin enter a heated die after being extruded by a pre-formed plate step by step and are solidified. A series of problems exist in the traditional open type gum dipping mode, such as high volatilization of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), higher resin waste rate, high finished product porosity and short gelation time, and a resin system is not suitable for the process. The time required to shut down and change product specifications is relatively long and costly.
In order to solve the problems, two types of closed glue injection processes are developed. One type is a low pressure injection method, the cavity inside the injection box usually has one or more tapers, the injection box usually has difficulty in infiltrating the section with the felt or the fabric, and the fabric or the felt is difficult to perform. The other type is a high-pressure glue injection mode, and the glue injection box is claimed to solve the problem, but how to stably control the resin pressure and the resin amount in the resin tank is not disclosed, so that the resin is easily overflowed or the fiber infiltration is poor, and particularly when the machine is stopped or shut down. In actual production, however, shutdown operations occur frequently, and many high-pressure injection molding boxes are difficult to be practically used.
Disclosure of Invention
It is therefore an object of the present invention to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art and to provide a fiber impregnation system that solves both the problems of pre-forming a felt or cloth and the problems of resin bleed or poor fiber wet-out. In addition, the glue injection box is separated from the curing device, so that an operator can conveniently observe the glue impregnation condition between the glue injection box and the curing device to clean redundant burrs at any time, and the infiltration reject ratio is reduced.
