Description
Gebiet der ErfindungField of the Invention
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Verbinden von thermoplastischen Verbundwerkstoffteilen.The invention relates to a method for connecting thermoplastic composite parts.
Hintergrund der ErfindungBackground of the Invention
Thermoplastische Verbundwerkstoffe können als Alternative zu Verbundwerkstoffen auf der Basis von duromeren Harzen verwendet werden. Ihrer Matrix besteht im Gegensatz zu üblichen Verbundwerkstoffen nicht aus Polyester- oder Epoxydharz, sondern aus einem Thermoplastischen Kunststoff. Als solche Matrix bildenden thermoplastischen Kunststoffe können PEEK, PEAK, PPS, PES et.al. verwendet werden. In den thermoplastischen Kunststoff sind Verstärkungsfasern eingebettet. Als Verstärkungsfasern können Kohlenstofffasern, Kevlar- oder Glasfasern eingesetzt werden. Die Verstärkungsfasern sind dabei wie in herkömmlichen Faserverbundwerkstoffen in die Matrix eingebettet.
Aus Verbundwerkstoffen hergestellte Werkstücke können auf verschiedene Weise miteinander verbunden werden. Ein solches Verbinden kann durch Kleben erfolgen. Nicht in allen Anwendungsgebieten sind Klebeverbindungen üblich und verbreitet, beispielsweise in lasttragenden Bereichen von Fahrzeugen Strukturen. Ein Grund dafür ist die mangelhafte Prüfbarkeit der Verbindung: Eine Klebeverbindung, die zwischen zwei flächig verklebten teilen angeordnet ist, bleibt dem Auge des prüfenden Betrachters verborgen. Eine andere Verbindungstechnik ist das Verwenden von Befestigungselementen wie Nieten, Schrauben und/oder Bolzen. Um solche Befestigungselemente einzusetzen, müssten die zu verbindenden Werkstücke an den Verbindungsstellen gebohrt werden. Im Fall von Bauteilen aus thermoplastischen Verbundwerkstoffen stellt das Bohren des Werkstücks keine triviale Bearbeitung dar, weil das Matrixmaterial des thermoplastischen Verbundwerkstücks durch die Reibungswärme des Bohr Vorganges erwärmt wird. Außerdem werden durch das Bohren die lasttragenden Verstärkungsfasern durchtrennt.Thermoplastic composites can be used as an alternative to composites based on thermosetting resins. In contrast to common composite materials, their matrix does not consist of polyester or epoxy resin, but of a thermoplastic. As such matrix-forming thermoplastics, PEEK, PEAK, PPS, PES et.al. be used. Reinforcing fibers are embedded in the thermoplastic. Carbon fibers, Kevlar or glass fibers can be used as reinforcing fibers. The reinforcing fibers are embedded in the matrix as in conventional fiber composite materials.
Workpieces made from composite materials can be connected to one another in various ways. Such connection can be done by gluing. Adhesive connections are not common and widespread in all areas of application, for example in structures carrying loads. One reason for this is the inadequate testability of the connection: An adhesive connection, which is arranged between two surface-glued parts, remains hidden from the eye of the inspecting observer. Another connection technique is the use of fasteners such as rivets, screws and / or bolts. To use such fasteners, the workpieces to be connected would have to be drilled at the connection points. In the case of components made of thermoplastic composite materials, drilling the workpiece is not a trivial process because the matrix material of the thermoplastic composite workpiece is heated by the frictional heat of the drilling process. In addition, the load-bearing reinforcing fibers are severed by drilling.
Weiterhin sind selbstschneidende Schrauben als Verbindungsmittel bekannt, die mit einem durch die Reibungswärme des Einschraubens erweichbaren Dichtmaterials ausgestattet sind. Auch dieses Verbindungsmmittel setzt ein vorheriges Bohren mit der damit einhergehenden Schwächung des Fasermaterials voraus.Furthermore, self-tapping screws are known as connecting means, which are equipped with a sealing material that can be softened by the frictional heat of screwing. This connecting means also requires prior drilling with the attendant weakening of the fiber material.
Dem Stand der Technik fehlte es also an einer Verbindungstechnik, die es erlaubt Werkstücke aus thermoplastischen Verbundwerkstoffen ohne Schwächung der Verstärkungsfasern dauerhaft miteinander zu verbinden.The prior art therefore lacked a connection technology which allowed workpieces made of thermoplastic composite materials to be permanently connected to one another without weakening the reinforcing fibers.
Beschreibung der ErfindungDescription of the invention
Es hat sich nun für den Fachmann völlig überraschend herausgestellt, dass verbundene Bauteile aus thermoplastischen Faserverbundwerkstoffen , wobei die Verbindung der Bauteile durch Nadeln erfolgt, die unter Druck und Rotation in das dadurch erweichten Matrixmaterial der Bauteile eingeführt werden, den Nachteilen des Standes der Technik abhelfen. Die Erfindung umfasst auch ein Verfahren zum Verbinden von Bauteilen aus thermoplastischen Faserverbundwerkstoffen umfassend das Positionieren der Bauteile zueinander, das Aufsetzen einer Nadel unter Druck, Versetzen der Nadel in eine Rotationsbewegung, so dass das thermoplastische Matrixmaterial erweicht und die Nadel durch das erweichte Matrixmaterial der Bauteile geschoben wird, Erstarren des thermoplastischen Matrixmaterials.
Bei all dem ist es bevorzuhgt, wenn die Nadeln nicht senkrecht zur Bauteiloberfläche an der Ein- oder Austrittstelle angeordnet sind. Weiterhin ist bevorzugt, wenn der Winkel der die Bauteile miteinander verbindenden Nadel zur Oberfläche der verbundenen Bauteile weniger als 80°, bevorzugt weniger als 70°, besonders bevorzugt weniger als 60°, und ganz besonders bevorzugt weniger als 50° beträgt. Weiterhin ist bevorzugt, wenn die Nadel zylinderförmig ist. Weiterhin ist bevorzugt, wenn die Oberfläche der Nadel geriffelt ist. Weiterhin ist bevorzugt, wenn eine Mehrzahl von Nadeln paarweise über Kreuz zueinander angeordnet sind und dabei der Winkel benachbarter Nadeln zueinander im Wesentlichen 90° beträgt. Weiterhin ist bevorzugt, wenn der überstehende Teil der Nadeln so behandelt wird, dass eine ebene Bauteilfläche resultiert. Dies kann geschehen, indem der überstehende Teil der Nadeln umgebogen wird und/oder indem der überstehende Teil der Nadeln abgeschnitten wird. Weiterhin ist bevorzugt, wenn der überstehende Teil der Nadeln mit einem zusätzlichen Befestigungsmittel auf der Oberfläche der Bauteile fixiert wird. Weiterhin ist bevorzugt, wenn die Bauteile zusätzlich durch ein themoplastisches Schweißverfahren miteinander verbunden werden. Ein solches themoplastisches Schweißverfahren kann Laserschweißen, UltraschallSchweißen, Induktionsschweißen, Widerstandsschweißen oder Wärmeleitungsschweißen sein, entweder ein einzelnes dieser Verfahren oder eine Kombination mehrerer dieser Verfahren. Weiterhin ist bevorzugt, wenn eine Bauteiloberfläche ein Blitzschutzmaterial aufweist. Weiterhin ist bevorzugt, wenn das Blitzschutzmaterial aus metallischem Streckgitter besteht. Weiterhin ist bevorzugt, wenn eine Bauteiloberfläche ein Blitzschutzmaterial aus einer metallischen Lochfolie aufweist. Weiterhin ist bevorzugt, wenn die Kraft, mit der die Nadeln auf die Bauteil Oberfläche gedrückt werden, zwischen 50 und 1000 N, bevorzugt zwischen100 und 500 N liegt. Weiterhin ist bevorzugt, wenn die Rotationsfrequenz der rotierenden Nadel 5.000-2000 Umdrehungen pro Minute beträgt. Weiterhin ist bevorzugt, wenn die überstehenden Teile der Nadeln anschließend umgebogen werden, so dass die aus dem Bauteil herausragenden Teile der Nadeln flach auf der oder den Bauteiloberfläche(n) zu liegen kommt oder kommen. Weiterhin ist bevorzugt, wenn die überstehenden Teile der Nadeln anschließend so umgebogen werden, so dass die aus dem Bauteil herausragenden Teile der Nadeln mit einem ersten Teil flach auf der oder den Bauteiloberfläche(n) zu liegen kommt oder kommen und mit einem zweiten zum Teil im Wesentlichen senkrecht in die Bauteiloberfläche eindringen. Die Erfindung umfasst auch ein Fahrzeug, insbesondere ein Flugzeug mit erfindungsgemäßen Bauteilen.It has now turned out to be completely surprising to the person skilled in the art that connected components made of thermoplastic fiber composite materials, the components being connected by needles which are introduced under pressure and rotation into the matrix material of the components softened thereby, remedy the disadvantages of the prior art. The invention also includes a method for connecting components made of thermoplastic fiber composite materials comprising positioning the components relative to one another, placing a needle under pressure, setting the needle in a rotational movement so that the thermoplastic matrix material softens and the needle is pushed through the softened matrix material of the components solidification of the thermoplastic matrix material.
In all of this, it is preferred if the needles are not arranged perpendicular to the component surface at the entry or exit point. It is further preferred if the angle of the needle connecting the components to the surface of the connected components is less than 80 °, preferably less than 70 °, particularly preferably less than 60 °, and very particularly preferably less than 50 °. It is further preferred if the needle is cylindrical. It is further preferred if the surface of the needle is corrugated. It is further preferred if a plurality of needles are arranged in pairs in a crosswise manner to one another and the angle of adjacent needles to one another is essentially 90 °. It is further preferred if the protruding part of the needles is treated in such a way that a flat component surface results.
