Generally, various blow molding methods include extrusion blow molding, injection stretch blow molding, and bag molding. In the existing bag press molding process, a fiber preform is laid in a mold, covered with a soft isolation film, cured under hot pressing, and after a required curing period, the material forms a member with a certain structure. The bag pressing forming method has the disadvantages of complex process, high operation difficulty and difficulty in ensuring the sealing property between the die and the prepreg.

Before blow molding, the surface of the mold needs to be cleaned and polished to be bright so as to reduce marks on the surface of the composite material product at the later stage, and then demolding wax and gel coat resin are coated, wherein the gel coat resin can provide a protective layer for the prepreg, so that the performances of corrosion resistance, wear resistance and the like of the composite material product are improved. The invention firstly wraps the prepreg on the preformed film, and compared with the method of directly spreading the prepreg in a mold cavity, the method of wrapping the prepreg on the preformed film can preliminarily form the shape and the size of the composite material product, thereby preparing the composite material product with more accurate and better molding effect, then replaces the preformed film with a mandrel, heats and blows air to the mandrel for curing, the mandrel can be filled with the mold cavity in the blowing process and is tightly attached to the inner surface of the mold cavity, so that the prepared composite material product has a smoother surface, and the generation of wrinkles is avoided.
The mandrel is silica gel or an air bag. The mandrel is made of silica gel, the silica gel has unique expansion with heat and contraction with cold performance, the requirement on the flatness of the inner side is higher or the main body is larger but the opening of the composite material product is smaller, and the silica gel has unique expansion with heat and contraction with cold characteristic to be taken out of the composite material product easily in the process of solidifying and cooling the product gradually.
The hardness of the silica gel is 20-40 degrees, and preferably, the hardness of the silica gel is 30 degrees; the volume thermal expansion coefficient range of the silica gel is 5.9-7.9 x10-4Preferably, the volume thermal expansion coefficient of the silicon rubber ranges from 6.5 to 7.0x10-4The silica gel in the volume thermal expansion coefficient range has good tensile strength and sealing property.
The air bag is made of polyethylene or nylon, has better mechanical property, and avoids the phenomenon that the air bag is broken in the forming process to cause poor combination between layers of a composite material product and scrap.
The prepreg is a carbon fiber prepreg or a glass fiber prepreg.
In the step (2), the curing temperature is 130-140 ℃, and the curing time is 1-3 h.
The invention has the following beneficial effects:
(1) according to the invention, the prepreg is wrapped on the preformed film, and compared with the method of directly spreading the prepreg in the die cavity, the method of wrapping the prepreg on the preformed film can preliminarily form the shape and size of the composite material product, so that the prepreg is tightly attached to the inner wall of the die cavity, and the composite material product with higher accuracy and better forming effect is further prepared, and the method is simple in integral operation and convenient for construction operation;
(2) according to the invention, silica gel with excellent thermal expansion and cold contraction performance can be selected as the mandrel, the composite material product with higher requirement on the flatness of the inner side or larger main body but smaller opening is selected, and the unique thermal expansion and cold contraction characteristics of the silica gel enable the silica gel to be easily taken out of the air bag in the process of curing and gradually cooling the product, so that the whole operation is simple, and the construction operation is convenient;
(3) the invention can select the air bag made of polyethylene or nylon as the mandrel, thereby avoiding the scrapping of the composite material product due to poor interlayer bonding caused by hole breaking of the air bag in the forming process.
