Specific embodiment
The present invention is described in further details below with reference to Figure of description and specific embodiment.
Fig. 1 to Fig. 4 shows a kind of embodiment that the present invention improves the honeycomb core plate of hexagonal structure, including at least two Former base band 1, a reinforcing strip 2 is equipped between each former base band 1, and former base band 1 has a plurality of bonding edge 11, phase in uniform intervals division Dividing between two adjacent bonding edges 11 has a molding side 12, the side of the bonding edge 11 of odd number sticky bit and even number bonding The other side of the bonding edge 11 of position is equipped with adhesion zone 111, and each adhesion zone 111 extends to unidirectional molding side adjacent thereto On 12, the extending direction of two sides adhesion zone 111 and neighbouring adhesion zone 111 on the contrary, the two sides of reinforcing strip 2 with it is corresponding Adhesion zone 111 forms the honeycomb for having multiple hexagonal unit holes 3, each hexagonal unit after being bonded and pulling open towards two sides Have in hole 3 and side 4 is reinforced by the S type that reinforcing strip 2 is formed.In the structure, form between each former base band 1 with multiple hexagons The honeycomb in unit hole 3 for the materials such as more traditional corrugated board, timber, foamed plastics, has heat-insulated, the work that absorbs sound The feature that skill is simple, manufacturing cost is low, also, honeycomb core plate is reusable, and environmental pollution is small, is environmentally friendly green products; And reinforcing strip 2 can form S type in each hexagonal unit hole 3 and reinforce side 4, that is, substantially increasing the strong of each hexagonal unit hole 3 Degree, makes its compression strength obtain very big breakthrough, has expanded the scope of application;In the program, the two sides of each former base band 1 are equal Equipped with adhesion zone 111, i.e., gluing is not needed in reinforcing strip 2,1 two-sided spacing formula gluing of former base band can save the gluing time, improve It is bonded efficiency;The setting of extended segment when so that pulling open after bonding towards two sides, is more easy to mold stable S type reinforcement side 4, Guarantee compression strength.
In other embodiments, two-sided spacing formula glue bearing areas can also be set in the two sides of reinforcing strip 2, can equally saves painting The glue time improves bonding efficiency.
In the present embodiment, the extension segment length of adhesion zone 111 is set as the 0.1 to 0.25 of molding 12 length of side.The structure In, the extension segment length of adhesion zone 111 is set as the 0.25 of molding 12 length of side, in this way, can guarantee that S type reinforces side 4 and is One complete centrosymmetric S type structure to ensure that S type reinforces the stability on side 4, while guaranteeing each hexagonal unit hole 3 It is consistent to reinforce intensity.
In the present embodiment, bonding edge 11 and molding side 12 adjacent thereto are set as isometric.In the structure, isometric setting energy Guarantee forms regular hexagon unit hole 3, makes overall structure is more aesthetically pleasing resistance to see.
Fig. 1 to Fig. 5 shows the forming method of the honeycomb core plate of the invention based on above-mentioned improvement hexagonal structure A kind of embodiment, comprising the following steps:
S1: division unit: each former base band 1 is successively spaced with reinforcing strip 2 and is stacked, it is ensured that each reinforcing strip 2 is respectively positioned on Between the former base band 1 of adjacent upper and lower sides, using end as starting point, a plurality of bonding edge 11 is divided in uniform intervals on former base band 1, A molding side 12 is divided between per two adjacent bonding edges 11;
S2: setting glue bearing areas: the side of the bonding edge 11 of the odd number sticky bit on former base band 1 and even number sticky bit Bonding edge 11 the other side be arranged adhesion zone 111, each adhesion zone 111 extends to unidirectional molding side 12 adjacent thereto On, the extending direction of two sides adhesion zone 111 is opposite;
S3: gluing: the gluing on each adhesion zone 111;
S4: bonding: adhesion zone 111 is be bonded with reinforcing strip 2;
S5: molding: the core plate after bonding is stood into certain time to after being bonded securely, required height is cut into, obtains Strip core plate, pulls open to form honeycomb core plate towards two sides.
This method is used, so that foring the honeycomb with multiple hexagonal unit holes 3 between former base band 1, is relatively passed For the materials such as corrugated board, timber, the foamed plastics of system, there is heat-insulated, the low spy of simple process, manufacturing cost that absorbs sound Point, also, honeycomb core plate is reusable, and environmental pollution is small, is environmentally friendly green products;And reinforcing strip 2 can be in each hexagon S type is formed in unit hole 3 and reinforces side 4, that is, is substantially increased the intensity in each hexagonal unit hole 3, obtained its compression strength Very big breakthrough, has expanded the scope of application;In the program, the two sides of each former base band 1 are equipped with adhesion zone 111, that is, reinforce Gluing is not needed on band 2,1 two-sided spacing formula gluing of former base band can save the gluing time, improve bonding efficiency;Extended segment is set It sets, when so that being pulled open after bonding towards two sides, is more easy to mold stable S type reinforcement side 4, guarantees compression strength.
In the present embodiment, in step sl, the 0.1 of molding 12 length of side is set by the extension segment length of adhesion zone 111 To 0.25.In this method, the extension segment length of adhesion zone 111 is set as the 0.25 of molding 12 length of side, in this way, can guarantee It is a complete centrosymmetric S type structure that S type, which reinforces side 4, to ensure that S type reinforces the stability on side 4, while guaranteeing each six side The reinforcement intensity in shape unit hole 3 is consistent.
In the present embodiment, in step sl, set isometric for bonding edge 11 and molding side 12 adjacent thereto.This method In, isometric setting can guarantee to form regular hexagon unit hole 3, make overall structure is more aesthetically pleasing resistance to see.
Although the present invention is disclosed as above with preferred embodiment, however, it is not intended to limit the invention.It is any to be familiar with ability The technical staff in domain, without deviating from the scope of the technical scheme of the present invention, all using the technology contents pair of the disclosure above Technical solution of the present invention makes many possible changes and modifications or equivalent example modified to equivalent change.Therefore, all Without departing from the content of technical solution of the present invention, according to the present invention technical spirit any simple modification made to the above embodiment, Equivalent variations and modification, all shall fall within the protection scope of the technical scheme of the invention.
