Description

Compression molding method of thermoplastic composite material component with I-shaped reinforcing ribs
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of composite material forming, in particular to a compression molding method of a thermoplastic composite material member with an I-shaped reinforcing rib.
Background
The thermoplastic resin-based composite material (referred to as thermoplastic composite material for short in the application) has the advantages of good heat resistance, excellent damage tolerance, good impact resistance, short molding cycle, high production efficiency and repeated molding, and is more and more widely concerned in the aerospace field in recent years. Advanced thermoplastic composite materials represented by carbon fiber reinforced polyether ether ketone are increasingly applied to main/secondary load-bearing members in the field of aviation, but the thermoplastic composite materials are difficult to bond between adjacent layers, gaps in a laminated plate are difficult to remove and resin flow is difficult in the forming process due to high melt viscosity of a matrix, poor wettability and penetrability of thermoplastic resin to fibers and the like, so that parts of the composite materials depend on high temperature and high pressure. The existing thermosetting materials are mostly formed by hot-pressing and curing by an autoclave, the safe working temperature and the safe pressure of the common autoclave are respectively below 250 ℃ and below 1Mpa, and the temperature and the pressure can meet the forming requirement of the thermosetting materials. The molding temperature and pressure of the thermoplastic material such as carbon fiber reinforced polyetheretherketone are above 300 ℃ and above 1Mpa respectively, so the existing thermoplastic materials mostly adopt a compression molding process.
The existing thermoplastic composite material member mostly adopts a method of one-time mould pressing or two-time mould pressing: the one-time compression molding technology is suitable for molding of flat plate pieces, and when the one-time compression molding technology is applied to molding of structural parts, the problems that the surfaces of the pieces are not flat, resin is not uniformly distributed, the mechanical property cannot be guaranteed and the like can be caused. The secondary hot pressing adopts a method of die assembly molding of a female die and a male die, can only carry out one-way pressure transmission (generally in the vertical direction), and is only suitable for molding simple structural members in a C shape, an L shape and the like, namely, a flat plate member is preformed firstly, and then the flat plate member is softened at high temperature to carry out secondary consolidation molding. However, for the complex components commonly used in the aviation field such as the I-shaped reinforcing rib, the one-way pressure transmission molds such as the female mold and the male mold used in the primary and secondary hot press molding process are not suitable for the complex components with the I-shaped reinforcing rib in structure and mold closing methods any more, and in the prior art, a mold pressing mold special for the thermoplastic composite material I-shaped reinforcing rib component is not provided. Chinese patent 201710401959.X discloses a composite material i-shaped stringer molding process, and from the specification thereof, it is known that a hot press curing mold and a curing process for thermosetting materials performed in an autoclave are provided. The autoclave forms uniform pressure on the composite material by using the pressure of the filled gas, so that the autoclave can easily realize the molding of the I-shaped stringer of the composite material, but the autoclave equipment is expensive, the molding cost is high, the molding process is complex, time and labor are wasted, and the industrialization requirement is difficult to meet. Therefore, in the prior art, an economical, rapid and reliable forming scheme which does not need to use an autoclave and is suitable for the thermoplastic composite material H-shaped reinforcing rib component is needed, so that the thermoplastic composite material H-shaped reinforcing rib component is helped to move to an industrialized road, and the development of aerospace industry in China is promoted.
