Composite material wing wall plate and metal wing rib sealing method based on co-bonding process
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of aircraft body manufacturing, in particular to a method for sealing a composite material wing wallboard and a metal wing rib based on a co-bonding process.
Background
At present, the carbon fiber reinforced composite material has the properties of high specific strength, high specific stiffness, designability, fatigue resistance, corrosion resistance, less maintenance and the like, and is widely applied to the most advanced international large civil aircraft, the most typical application is a wing panel structure, and at present, the large civil aircraft generally adopts a double-beam multi-rib structure. Due to the partition requirement of the wing tank, part of the rib is used as a tank interface and needs to be sealed, as shown in fig. 1. In addition, because of the bearing and structural form of the wing rib, the aluminum alloy material is still mainly used at present.
The sealing problem needs to be solved between the longpurlin flanges of the wing panels, below the sealing ribs and above the skin. The existing machine type adopts a structural form of a glass fiber filling sealing stop block, the height of the sealing stop block is equal to that of a stringer flange strip, the width of the sealing stop block is slightly smaller than the distance between the stringer flange strips, and the structural form is shown in figure 2. The specific installation steps are that the periphery of the glass fiber block which is cured separately is coated with the sealant, and then the glass fiber block is plugged into a gap formed by the wall plate and the wing rib, so that the sealing effect is achieved.
The existing stringer and skin co-bonding technology is to bond a preformed stringer and a cured skin, and a stringer curing mold is provided with a flanging at a stringer flange to prevent resin from flowing out after temperature rise and ensure stringer curing quality, as shown in fig. 3.
As shown in fig. 2, the inner surface of the skin is shown as a plane and the actual inner surface is a hyperboloid, and the curvatures of the inner surfaces of the skin are different at each location where the sealing stop is placed. The prior art has the following defects: when the glass fiber stop block is manufactured, the glass fiber stop blocks on different positions of the skin are required to be separately manufactured into a conformal mold with the theoretical inner shape characteristic of the skin, generally an egg-box type mold, so that the cost is higher, and the independent curing is required, so that the production cost is increased; when the glass fiber stop block is assembled, the glass fiber stop block is respectively coated with sealant on four surfaces of a skin matching surface, the end surfaces of the two stringer flanges of the wallboard and the lower surface of the wing rib, so that the assembly time is prolonged, and the sealing difficulty is improved.

Furthermore, when the stringer flange strips and the sealing check blocks of the wing wallboard are simultaneously connected with the skin in a co-adhesive mode, the stringer flange strips and the sealing check blocks of the wing wallboard are pre-impregnated in prepreg, the prepreg between the stringer flange strips and the sealing check blocks of the wing wallboard is filled in gaps (after resin is heated up, the prepreg naturally flows to fill the gaps and then is cured), the prepreg is resin, and the stringer flange strips and the sealing check blocks of the wing wallboard form an integrated structure after being cured.
Further, when the stringer edge strips of the wing wall boards, the sealing stop blocks and the skin are in co-adhesive connection, a co-adhesive mould is adopted; the co-cementing mould comprises a stringer part and a sealing stop block part; the stringer part is communicated with the adjacent part of the sealing stop block part, so that the prepreg of the stringer edge strip of the wing wallboard and the sealing stop block can be ensured to fill the gap between the stringer edge strip of the wing wallboard and the sealing stop block together.
The invention also provides a co-cementing mould, which is used for co-cementing connection between the stringer tape of the wing panel and the skin as well as between the sealing stop block and the skin; the co-cementing mould comprises a stringer part and a sealing stop block part;

Detailed Description
Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that technical features or combinations of technical features described in the following embodiments should not be considered as being isolated, and they may be combined with each other to achieve better technical effects. In the drawings of the embodiments described below, the same reference numerals appearing in the respective drawings denote the same features or components, and may be applied to different embodiments.
The invention aims to solve the problems of complicated working procedures and low efficiency caused by the fact that the sealing stop block needs to be manufactured independently and needs to be coated with glue at four sides during sealing in the prior art.
As shown in fig. 4 and 5, a method for sealing a composite wing panel and a metal rib based on a co-bonding process according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps: filling a gap formed by a stringer of a wing panel and a metal wing rib with glass fiber, wherein the glass fiber is presoaked and cured to form a sealing stop block; the wing wallboard stringer and the sealing stop block are simultaneously connected with the skin in a co-adhesive manner, the sealing stop block and the wing wallboard stringer are connected by resin curing (formed between the sealing stop block and the stringer after glass fiber and the stringer are presoaked and cured), and no gap is formed in the middle; the wing wallboard stringer, the sealing stop block and the skin form an integrated structure; the matching surfaces of the sealing stop block and the metal wing rib are coated with glue (sealant) for sealing, so that the sealing stop block is connected with the lower end of the metal wing sealing rib in a sealing manner.
Preferably, when the stringer flange strips of the wing wall panels and the sealing check blocks are simultaneously connected with the skin in a co-gluing mode, the stringer flange strips of the wing wall panels and the sealing check blocks are pre-impregnated in prepreg, the prepreg between the stringer flange strips of the wing wall panels and the sealing check blocks is filled with the prepreg between the stringer flange strips of the wing wall panels and the sealing check blocks, the prepreg is resin, and the stringer flange strips of the wing wall panels and the sealing check blocks form an integrated structure after being cured.
When the stringer edge strips of the wing wall boards, the sealing stop blocks and the skin are in co-adhesive connection, a co-adhesive mould is adopted; the co-cementing mould comprises a stringer part and a sealing stop block part; the stringer part is communicated with the adjacent part of the sealing stop block part, so that the prepreg of the stringer edge strip of the wing wallboard and the sealing stop block can be ensured to fill the gap between the stringer edge strip of the wing wallboard and the sealing stop block together.
As shown in fig. 5, the co-cementing mould is used for co-cementing connection between the stringer tape of the wing panel and the sealing stop block and the skin at the same time; the co-cementing mould comprises a stringer part and a sealing stop block part; the cross section of the stringer part is 2L-shaped corresponding to the wing wallboard stringer, and the L-shaped comprises a first part corresponding to a wing wallboard web and a second part corresponding to a wing wallboard stringer edge strip; the second portion being slightly shorter than the wing panel stringer tape; the sealing stop block part is of a flat plate structure; the sealing stop block part and the second part are arranged in parallel and level, so that the sealing stop block is as high as the stringer tape of the wing panel; a gap is reserved between the sealing stop block part and the second part. The gap between the sealing stop block part and the second part is consistent with the station line precision requirement of the stringer web, and the gap is filled with a glue blocking strip during curing.
The co-cementing mould in the embodiment of the invention can be simply reformed by the conventional stringer co-cementing mould: when a traditional stringer co-cementing mould (as shown in figure 4) is improved, at the position where a sealing stop block needs to be arranged, flanging of the stringer mould is locally cancelled, so that resin in prepreg of a stringer can flow out, and a gap between the sealing stop block and a stringer flange strip is filled with the resin of the prepreg in the sealing stop block; in addition, a sealing stopper curing mold (sealing stopper portion) needs to be manufactured to play a role of maintaining the shape and stopping the glue.
The method for carrying out co-gluing connection by adopting the co-gluing mould comprises the following steps: simultaneously pre-dipping the stringer edge strip of the wing panel and the glass fiber with the size of the sealing stop block, wherein the pre-dipping material is resin; simultaneously placing presoaked stringer strips of the wing panels and glass fibers on set positions of a skin; the stringer part of the co-cementing mould is applied to the stringer of the wing panel, and the sealing stop block part is applied to the sealing stop block; wherein the second part of the stringer is pressed tightly against the stringer tape of the wing panel; a gap is reserved between the second part of the stringer part and the sealing stop block part; the wing wallboard stringer, the sealing stop block and the skin form an integrated structure after being heated and cured.
Compared with the prior art, the difference mainly lies in that:
the sealing stop blocks and the stringers are solidified on the skin together, and the traditional stop blocks are not manufactured independently and then are installed in a matching mode;
when sealing is carried out, sealant only needs to be coated on the matching surfaces of the stop block and the wing ribs, and other three surfaces do not need to be sealed.

The above examples are merely illustrative and should not be taken as limiting the scope of the invention.
