Description

Hexagonal honeycomb core with vertical gluten and manufacturing method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of honeycomb structures, in particular to a hexagonal honeycomb core with vertical gluten and a manufacturing method thereof.
Background
The honeycomb material has the advantages of light weight, high rigidity/mass ratio, high strength/mass ratio, high compressive strength and the like, and is widely applied to various fields requiring light weight, such as aramid fiber honeycombs and aluminum honeycombs on airplanes, thermoplastic PP honeycombs in the field of transportation, paper honeycombs in the packaging industry, backing plates of light weight components in the photovoltaic industry and the like.
It is known that the honeycomb produced by the existing honeycomb production technology mainly has tubular honeycomb and semi-closed folded honeycomb. Tubular honeycombs were mainly produced in a segmented, i.e., discontinuous, production process, which was the first commercial thermoplastic honeycomb, using materials such as Polycarbonate (PC) and Polyetherimide (PEI) in addition to the most commonly used polypropylene (PP), the mechanical properties of which are largely dependent on the density and tube diameter of the honeycomb core. Tubus Bauer, Plascore, Induplast and Newcourt are all manufacturers of tubular honeycomb, and in recent years, such core materials are combined with a glass fiber reinforced polypropylene skin layer and applied to automobile spare wheel covers.
In addition, the extruded core tube is a hexagonal honeycomb core plate, such as the honeycomb core plate produced by Induplast and Newcourt, the extruded blocks are long, but the planar size of the core is only 150mm × 150mm, so that a plurality of blocks need to be bonded together and cut to a required thickness by a saw or a hot wire, the automation degree of the whole production process is low, and the cost is relatively high.
Based on the development that Hexcel corporation developed a complex process for the production of PP and PET honeycombs, called Cecore, each cell being formed independently by the movement and bonding of tools, Hexcel introduced a thermoplastic honeycomb made of nonwoven fabric, named HexWeb EM, in 2001. Versacore recently proposed that traditional thermoplastic automation processes and applications have been established, and in 2002 Versacore/Thermostack equipment was introduced on the market. The two processes can continuously and automatically produce the thermoplastic honeycomb core, thereby reducing the cost. However, in the production of honeycomb cores having small pore diameters, the production speed is limited because the ribbons need to be welded one by a tool.
Recently, Sodesa developed a process for continuously extruding honeycomb cores by extruding the molten material through a die into strips with a regular pattern and stretching the strips to form the desired honeycomb shape, which is known as Hexacore. Wacotech corporation developed an excellent technique for forming thermoplastic honeycombs from a continuous film via "braiding", but the production speed was limited due to the need for vertically removing the die from the already formed honeycomb, and the internal structure of the material was less than ideal.
The manufacturing process of the semi-closed folded honeycomb comprises the following steps: firstly, coating an adhesive on the surface of flat paper to form adhesive lines, then arranging the adhesive lines in a staggered manner through multi-layer stacking, and finally cutting and stretching the formed blocks to form the hexagonal honeycomb core. The hexagonal size and thickness of honeycombs made from unimpregnated low cost paper, which is mainly used for component packaging and filling, is typically above 10mm because the smaller the internal hexagonal size, the more time consuming and inefficient the conventional manufacturing process.
Another production process for conventional honeycombs is the corrugated type, which is not commonly used due to its high cost, since it requires manual operations (folding and gluing of the corrugated paper) and is difficult to cut, but if inexpensive corrugated board is used, a heavier but more economical honeycomb core can be produced by this method, the unit size of standard corrugated board is 5mm, the size of the unit size being related to the surface quality, and so paper honeycomb applications are currently usually accomplished manually through a stack of corrugated board. The sandwich structure plate which is formed by reinforcing the surface by glass fiber or natural fiber felt and forming the core layer by honeycomb paper is used for a sun shield, a hard top, a wrapping frame, a spare tire cover and a luggage box bottom plate.
The use of small amounts of raw materials for the production of honeycomb cores makes it possible to provide very economical sandwich materials for automotive parts if appropriate types of raw materials (e.g. paper, PP films) are combined with efficient production methods. However, the high cost of the production process limits its application in the automotive and furniture industries.
Most of the honeycomb production process technologies are discontinuous production process flows, and now more advanced continuous production processes appear in succession, for example, the continuous production processes disclosed in patent numbers CN101084108B and CN105835484A, but there are also places to be improved, as follows:
according to the technical scheme disclosed by the patent number CN101084108B, when the forming (compacting) and folding process (folding) are carried out, each folded honeycomb hexagon is in a separated two-half hexagon state, so that proper lateral pressure cannot be obtained in the process of folding to 90 degrees (vertical), the fusion bonding strength of an individual hexagonal honeycomb and adjacent vertical edges among the hexagonal honeycombs is influenced, and the compression resistance of the honeycomb core is finally influenced. In addition, the process stability of the downstream thermal compounding process is affected, especially when the ratio of the honeycomb thickness to the hexagonal side length or the hexagonal inscribed circle size is large. Meanwhile, the low connection strength can also cause the honeycomb core plate to scatter or break away in the secondary processing and conveying process, thereby influencing the positioning precision of the secondary processing. In addition, the forming mold is complex, and the honeycomb cores with different thickness sizes cannot be changed effectively and quickly.
The patent of patent No. CN105835484A discloses a continuous production technology cuts off for whole, then misplaces and piles up, the error is great, form irregular hexagon structure and reduce holistic intensity, and because its specific forming process, the top or the bottom of its honeycomb core plate's 50% or 100% honeycomb hexagon are sealed, material is heated and can be shrunk in the course of working, middle top material can shrink concave down owing to do not having the support, can not form the bonding with other materials and also can not increase area of contact, cause unnecessary material quantity.
Therefore, a manufacturing process of a polygonal honeycomb core board is urgently needed, the cross section of the manufactured honeycomb core board is in a polygonal shape with a complete structure, the adjacent edges of the manufactured honeycomb core board have good bonding strength, and the manufactured honeycomb core board has excellent mechanical properties under the condition of less material consumption.
The hexagonal honeycomb core in the patent of the invention existing in the applicant is also prepared by firstly preparing half hexagons, synthesizing two half hexagons into hexagonal cylinders, then cutting the hexagonal cylinders up and down and folding the hexagonal cylinders, but the hexagonal honeycomb core cannot bear bonding pressure when a plurality of rows of core body units are attached and is easy to collapse, so that a vertical face rib structure is added on the basis of the prior art, and the process problem is effectively solved.
