Description

The present invention relates to a method for preparing a tool for producing fiber-reinforced components, in particular an RTM tool or wet pressing tool for producing a fiber-reinforced component, in particular a CFRP component, for a vehicle, in particular for a motor vehicle. The invention also relates to a flying drone and a production system that are designed to carry out the method.

In the production of fiber-reinforced components, such as CFRP components, for vehicles, such as motor vehicles in particular, it is known that fiber-reinforced components produced in a mold of an RTM tool can be removed manually or by means of an automatic demoulding device, such as a robot designed for this purpose Gripping device to be demolded from the mold. Such robots are usually arranged directly on the RTM tool or can be moved relative to the RTM tool via a traversing system. Transport systems are also used, for example to bring components to be further processed to the RTM tool or to transport fiber-reinforced components away from the RTM tool.

In order to ensure that the fiber-reinforced components are removed from the mold with as little friction as possible and to prevent damage to the fiber-reinforced components, in particular the surface of the fiber-reinforced components, during demoulding, e.g. due to static friction and/or shear forces, a parting agent is introduced into the mold that adhesion of the fiber-reinforced component to the mold is reduced. Separating agents are known, for example, from the production of castings under the designation "sizing agent". The introduction of the separating agent is also referred to as "separating". Parting agents can be provided, for example, in powder form, liquid form or as a spray. By spraying on the parting agent, a particularly uniform distribution of the parting agent in the mold can be achieved. To ensure a high level of process reliability, the cutting takes place before each new manufacturing cycle of the RTM tool. The cutting is usually done manually by a worker or by a robotic device arranged on the RTM tool.

Such robots, displacement systems and transport systems have the disadvantage that they cause particularly high investment costs and require a large amount of space. Extensive planning is required for this, especially in complex production systems. Areas of the production system are often difficult to access due to a space-optimized arrangement, which in particular hinders maintenance work. Another disadvantage is that changing the production system is very complex and requires, for example, a corresponding change in the traversing or transport systems. This is both costly and time-consuming. A quick, flexible adaptation of the manufacturing system to a new manufacturing task is therefore not possible.

Manually performing the demoulding of fiber reinforced components, such as CFRP components, separating the parting agent into the mold and cleaning the mold by a worker all have the disadvantage that the worker has to get very close to the RTM tool for these tasks . Especially with relatively large RTM tools used to manufacture fiber-reinforced components for vehicles, which often have a footprint of more than 6 square meters, the worker can come into direct contact with the RTM tool. This can cause severe burns to the worker as the RTM tool can be very hot from a previous manufacturing cycle.

As prior art in the field of the present invention, the DE 10 2013 207 723 A1 , GB 2 525 900A , DE 10 2014 008 665 A1 and the DE 10 2009 018 887 A1 called.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to overcome the disadvantages described above in a method and a flying drone for preparing a tool, in particular an RTM or wet pressing tool, for the production of a fiber-reinforced component, in particular a CFRP component, for a vehicle and a Fix production system for the production of fiber-reinforced components, in particular CFRP components, for a vehicle or at least partially fix it. In particular, the object of the present invention is a method and a flying drone for preparing a tool, in particular an RTM or wet pressing tool, for the production of a fiber-reinforced component, in particular a CFRP component, for a vehicle and a manufacturing system for the production of fiber-reinforced components To create, in particular CFRP components, for a vehicle, by means of which a preparation of an RTM tool for the production of a fiber-reinforced component, in particular a CFRP component, improved for a vehicle in a simple and inexpensive manner and with reduced space requirements is.

• - Eintrennen eines Eintrennmittels in die Form des Werkzeugs zur leichteren Entformung eines in dem Werkzeug hergestellten faserverstärkten Bauteils aus der Form.

According to a first aspect of the invention, the object is achieved by a method for preparing a tool, in particular an RTM or wet pressing tool, for the production of a fiber-reinforced component, in particular a CFRP component, for a vehicle. The procedure has the following steps:

• - demoulding a fiber-reinforced component produced in the tool from a mold of the tool, and
• - Separating a parting agent into the mold of the tool for easier demoulding of a fiber-reinforced component produced in the tool from the mold.

The demolding of the fiber-reinforced component, such as a CFRP component, and/or the cutting of the cutting-off means are carried out by means of a flying drone. That is to say, the flying drone carries out the demolding of the fiber-reinforced component and/or the separating of the separating means.

RTM process is an abbreviation for "Resin Transfer Molding process", which is also known as transfer molding or transfer molding process. In an RTM process, a usually heated liquid or liquefied matrix material, such as a thermoset with thermoplastic properties, a thermoplastic, a resin or the like, is introduced into a usually heated mold of an RTM tool. Here, the matrix material is pressed into the mold, e.g. under pressure, and/or drawn into the mold by means of a vacuum. The matrix material is then solidified, in particular by cooling. To produce fiber-reinforced components, such as carbon-fiber-reinforced plastics, which are also known as CFRP components, a fabric or mesh made of reinforcing fibers is placed in the mold of the RTM tool before the matrix material is introduced, and in the mold of the RTM tool when the matrix material is subsequently introduced surrounded by matrix material.

When preparing a tool, in particular an RTM or wet pressing tool, for the production of a fiber-reinforced component, in particular a CFRP component, for a vehicle, the tool is put into a state in which a process, such as an RTM process, to produce a fiber-reinforced component with the tool. This means that fiber-reinforced components that have already been manufactured are first removed from the mold. This process is also referred to as demolding.

In a subsequent process step, a parting agent is introduced into the mold of the tool. This process is called clipping. The separating agent is intended to prevent or at least reduce a manufactured fiber-reinforced component from sticking or sticking in the mold. The fiber-reinforced component can thus be removed from the mold more easily after it has been produced. As a result, damage to the fiber-reinforced component during demoulding can be avoided or at least reduced. Parting agents are also referred to as sizing agents or release agents. Provision can be made for the tool or the mold to be electrostatically charged when it is cut. As a result, the parting means is attracted to the tool or the mold during parting and is therefore used more efficiently. An “overspray”, i.e. a distribution of the parting agent outside of the tool or mold, can thus be avoided or at least reduced.

According to the invention, the fibre-reinforced component produced is demolded from the mold and/or the separating means is cut into the mold by a flying drone. A flying drone is a programmable and/or remotely controllable flying object that can be moved towards and away from the tool while flying. The flying drone is preferably controlled by a process control unit, for example production system controlled. The flying drone is preferably designed for stationary flying or hovering, so that the flying drone can assume a constant relative position or constant relative position to the tool. This simplifies demoulding and cutting using the flying drone. It can be provided according to the invention that the flying drone transports the fiber-reinforced component or components used to produce the fiber-reinforced component, such as reinforcing fibers, a reinforcing fiber fabric or mesh, flying within the production system, in particular to and from the mold of the tool.

The use of a flying drone for demolding and/or separating has the advantage that no stationary transport or stationary traversing system is required. This reduces the space requirement and increases the flexibility of a manufacturing system. Such a manufacturing system can thus be better adapted to different manufacturing tasks. Furthermore, the method makes it possible to save investment costs for a production system. Furthermore, the use of a flying drone has the advantage that hard-to-reach parts of the tool are also more easily accessible, since the flying drone can be navigated in a relatively small space and around obstacles. In addition, the risk of injury for a worker can be reduced by means of the method according to the invention, since it is no longer necessary for a worker to move close to the tool. This means that a worker can no longer injure himself when separating the separating means into the mold, in particular burns due to the heating of the mold, since the flying drone takes over this according to the invention.

According to a preferred further development of the invention, it can be provided in a method that the parting agent is sprayed into the mold of the tool by means of a parting nozzle of a spray device during parting. According to the invention, a spray device can have a reservoir for the separating agent and a pump and/or a pressure reservoir for forcing the separating agent out of the reservoir through the nozzle into the mold. The parting agent is preferably parted into the mold as a spray mist or fine powder dust by means of the parting nozzle. A separating nozzle has the advantage that the separating agent can be introduced into the mold in a targeted and uniform manner. A nozzle enables or improves contactless cutting of the separating agent into the mold. The spraying device is preferably arranged on the flying drone or is held by it.

The cutting nozzle is preferably pivoted about at least one pivot axis relative to the flying drone during cutting. The parting nozzle is particularly preferably pivoted about two pivot axes. This improves the targeted parting of the mold with parting means. The separating nozzle is arranged on the flying drone. Pivoting has the further advantage that the flying drone does not have to be moved as much during cutting, since the cutting of the cutting-in means into the mold can already be controlled in a targeted manner by pivoting the cutting-in nozzle. An expenditure of energy for the separation is thus reduced. The separating agent can thus be distributed in the mold using simple means as well as being inexpensive and efficient.

It is preferred that the flying drone flies into a demolding position relative to the mold for demolding the fiber-reinforced component and/or for separating the parting means into a parting position relative to the mold. A demolding position is, for example, a position of the flying drone relative to the mold that is suitable or particularly favorable for demolding a fiber-reinforced component by the flying drone, for example within reach of a gripping device arranged on the flying drone for gripping and demolding the fiber-reinforced component. A parting position is, for example, a relative position of the flying drone to the tool, which is suitable or particularly favorable for parting or at least for starting the parting of the mold. According to the invention, the demoulding position and/or parting position can be predefined positions or dynamically determined positions that are determined as a function of external influencing factors, such as flight movements of other flying drones. The flying drone preferably hovers in the demoulding position and the separating position. Flying to a demolding position and a separating position has the advantage that demoulding or separating is improved, since these processes can thus take place while the flying drone is flying.

More preferably, the flying drone flies along a trajectory when cutting in the cutting-in means, starting from the cutting-in position. The flying drone thus performs a flight movement along the cutting trajectory during the cutting. The separation trajectory is preferably predefined, but can also be dynamically adapted according to the invention, for example as a function of external influencing factors, such as the trajectories of other flying drones. When flying along the separation trajectory, the flight drone has a defined distance and a specific position in relation to the shape. In this way, a uniform distribution of the parting agent in the mold is improved with simple means. Areas of the mold that are difficult to access in particular can thus be better treated with parting agent. The trajectory of the flying drone can be controlled by a control device. This means that the position of the drone relative to the shape of the RTM tool or to the component can be permanently determined via sensors that can be arranged on the drone, and the determined sensor data can be used in a comparison device, which can also be arranged in the drone be compared with stored reference data. If the determined sensor data does not match the stored reference data, the relative position of the flying drone can be corrected by means of the control device.

Provision can be made according to the invention for the mold to be cleaned in a cleaning process before it is cut in by the flying drone. The cleaning process is preferably carried out after the fiber-reinforced component has been removed from the mold. During the cleaning process, the mold is freed from dirt or production residues from reinforcing fibers and/or matrix material, for example. For this purpose, it can be provided according to the invention that the flying drone flies along a predefined, dynamically adapted or random cleaning path relative to the mold when cleaning it. Cleaning by means of the flying drone has the advantage that even areas of the mold that are difficult to access can be cleaned using simple means and at low cost. The RTM process can thus be improved with simple means.

More preferably, the mold is cleaned by subjecting the mold to a medium and/or by subjecting the mold to a pressure medium and/or by suction. When a medium is applied to the mold, for example a cleaning medium, in particular a cleaning agent which is designed to dissolve or bind matrix material and/or separating agent, is introduced into the mold. This can be done, for example, via a cleaning nozzle that is arranged on the flying drone. The cleaning agent is preferably sprayed into the mold in the form of a spray mist. When a pressure medium is applied to the mold, for example, compressed air is blown into the mold, in particular by means of a compressed air device that is arranged on the flying drone. For example, dirt particles or other impurities and residues are blown out of the mold or at least detached from a wall of the mold by the compressed air. During suction, e.g. dirt particles or other impurities and residues are sucked out of the mold, in particular by means of a suction device that is arranged on the flying drone. In this way, efficient cleaning of the mold with simple means and at low cost is ensured.

The fiber-reinforced component is particularly preferably demoulded from the mold of the tool, in particular an RTM or wet pressing tool, via a suction device or a gripping device of the flying drone. In a suction device, a suction device of the suction device for demolding a fiber-reinforced component can be arranged on a, preferably a flat or essentially flat, surface of the fiber-reinforced component and can be sucked onto it by means of negative pressure. In the case of a gripping device, a protruding part, such as a flange, of the fiber-reinforced component can preferably be gripped by means of a gripper of the gripping device. Such a suction device and gripping device have the advantage that the fiber-reinforced component can be removed from the mold by the flying drone or is removed from the mold using simple means and inexpensively.

According to a preferred embodiment of the method, it can be provided according to the invention that the mold and/or the fiber-reinforced component produced are recorded by the flying drone by means of a recording device. A detection device can be designed, for example, as an optical detection device, in particular a camera, as an acoustic detection device such as a sonar, as a thermal detection device such as an infrared camera, or the like. Operating states of the tool, such as temperature and/or soiling and/or distribution of parting agent in the mold, can be detected easily and with simple means by means of the detection device. Such information can be used to improve control or regulation of the flying drone, since a cleaning process can be adapted based on the determined contamination of the mold or a separating process based on the determined distribution of the separating agent. This can result in improved process reliability and better product quality of the process, such as the RTM or wet pressing process.

According to a second aspect of the invention, the object is achieved according to the invention by a flying drone for preparing a tool, in particular an RTM or wet pressing tool, for the production of a fiber-reinforced component for a vehicle. The flight drone has a flight unit for flying and a spraying device with a parting nozzle for parting a parting agent into a mold of the tool. Furthermore, the flying drone is designed to carry out the method according to the invention.

The flying drone preferably has its own energy source, such as a rechargeable battery. Preferably points the flight drone self-stabilization means that allow the drone to hover and ensure easy control of the drone. More preferably, the flying drone can be remotely controlled and/or is designed to execute a work program stored in the flying drone. Such a work program can, for example, have one or more of the following work steps: flying to a tool, in particular an RTM or wet pressing tool, flying to a cutting position, flying to a demolding position, flying along a cutting trajectory, pivoting or moving a cutting nozzle or cleaning nozzle, Starting and ending a cutting process, holding or gripping a fiber-reinforced component for demolding from the mold and the like. The flying drone can thus be operated autonomously or essentially autonomously. Preferred flying drones have between two and six, preferably four, rotors. The flying drone preferably has means for determining the position and location of the flying drone, such as gyroscopic sensors, GPS receivers, cameras, sonar or the like. This ensures that the flying drone is collision-free and reliably navigable in the production system.

All the advantages that have already been described for a method for preparing a tool, in particular an RTM or wet pressing tool, for the production of a fiber-reinforced component for a vehicle according to the first aspect of the invention result from the flying drone described.

The spraying device preferably has a tank for receiving and dispensing the separating agent. A filling device of the tank is preferably designed in such a way that automatic filling of the tank with separating agent, for example in an automatic filling station, is facilitated. For this purpose, the filling device is preferably arranged on an outside of the flying drone or is at least easily accessible from the outside. With a tank, the flying drone can be used particularly flexibly and autonomously within a production system.

It can be provided according to the invention that the flying drone has an optical detection device for optically detecting the mold and/or the fiber-reinforced component and/or a thermal detection device for detecting a temperature of the mold and/or the fiber-reinforced component. An optical detection device is designed, for example, as a camera, by means of which at least one spectrum of light waves that is visible to humans can be detected. For example, contamination and residues in the mold can be detected by means of the optical detection device. Furthermore, the fiber-reinforced component can be examined for external faults, such as defects on the component surface, using the optical detection device. A thermal detection device is preferably designed for contactless detection of temperatures, in particular as an infrared camera or infrared sensor. For example, a temperature of a fiber-reinforced component produced can be determined by means of the thermal detection device. It is thus possible to determine, for example, whether the fiber-reinforced component can be removed from the mold or whether further cooling is required. Such detection devices have the advantage that improved process monitoring is provided by the flying drone. As a result, process reliability and product quality of a process, such as an RTM or wet pressing process, can be further improved.

In a preferred embodiment, the flying drone has an inductive charging unit for inductively absorbing electrical energy. The inductive charging unit is designed to charge the energy store of the flying drone. This can be done, for example, at an inductive charging point of the manufacturing system. For this purpose, the flying drone is to be moved, preferably flown, towards the charging point in such a way that the inductive charging unit is adjacent to the inductive charging point. Electrical energy can be transferred to the flying drone or to the energy store of the flying drone by induction. Such loading points are preferably arranged within the production system at at least one point at which the flying drone remains for a period of time while the method according to the invention for preparing a tool, in particular an RTM or wet pressing tool, for the production of a fiber-reinforced component for a vehicle is being carried out or must stay. This improves charging of the energy store.

Such an inductive charging unit has the advantage that charging of the energy store is improved with simple means and at low cost. A deployment time of the flying drone can thus be extended.

Additionally or alternatively, the flying drone can be charged via a cable.

According to a third aspect of the invention, the object is achieved according to the invention by a manufacturing system for manufacturing fiber-reinforced components for a vehicle. The manufacturing system has at least one manufacturing station, in particular an RTM and/or wet-pressing manufacturing station, for the production of a fiber-reinforced component having a mold Tool for producing a fiber-reinforced component. Furthermore, the production system has a flying drone according to the invention for carrying out the method according to the invention. The production system preferably has a number of flying drones, which can preferably communicate with one another, for example in order to avoid collisions, to optimize work processes or to distribute work tasks among one another. A flying drone with a relatively empty energy store can thus transfer a demoulding and transport task of a fiber-reinforced component to another flying drone with a fuller energy store and fly to a loading point instead. The same applies, for example, to a flying drone that has a level in the tank that is too low for a complete cutting cycle, such as cutting a complete mold.

All the advantages that have already been described for a method for preparing a tool, in particular an RTM or wet pressing tool, for the production of a fiber-reinforced component for a vehicle according to the first aspect of the invention result from the described manufacturing system.
