Description

The present invention relates to a method and a device for the continuous, variable and multidimensional reshaping and depositing of a material, the material being a thermoplastic or a thermoplastic-textile hybrid or a layer package made of a thermoplastic and at least one further textile or a thermoplastic-textile Hybrid and at least one further textile or an organic sheet or a metal sheet is in a mold, as well as a robot, in particular a portal robot or guide carriage with such a device.

The continuous depositing of, for example, thermoplastic hybrid materials and layer packages of technical textiles with thermoplastic elements in a molding tool is currently done manually.

For the production of components from, for example, fiber-plastic composites, such as. B. rotor blades of wind turbines, forming tools are used as a negative or positive image of the component to be manufactured in order to position and fix flexible, dry technical textiles for the lamination or infusion process.

In the example of rotor blade production, the handling of technical textiles is very important. The individual components of the rotor blade are produced, for example, in a vacuum infusion process. For this purpose, the individual textile layers are placed one after the other in the corresponding molding tool and draped in order to then begin with the vacuum infusion. In the foreseeable future, more and more so-called hybrid textiles will be used in the production of fiber-plastic composites. The hybrid textiles consist of a conventional part (for example a glass fiber fabric or fabric) and a plastic (for example thermoplastic). A particular challenge lies in depositing the technical textiles in a multi-dimensional curved shape. For this purpose, several technical textiles are manually placed one after the other in the molding tool and pressed against the contours of the mold. The textiles are arranged one on top of the other and must be in contact with the molding tool. When the textiles are laid down, no creases must appear and the layers must not slip from one another. In addition, the geometry of the forming tool can change during the storage length. In addition, hybrid textiles have a higher rigidity due to the plastic content and are therefore less drapable.

The present invention is thus based on the object of a machine continuous forming and depositing of a material, the material being a thermoplastic or a thermoplastic-textile hybrid or a layer package made of a thermoplastic and at least one further textile or a thermoplastic-textile hybrid and at least one further textile or an organic sheet or a metal sheet is to enable in a molding tool.

The ones in the 1 to 5 device shown as an example 100 includes a conveyor unit ( 70 ) for continuously conveying a material, such as B. that in the 12 shown material 200 , in the present case from a roll of material 10 than in the present example endless material web 11 , a heating unit 12 for, preferably controlled or regulated, heating of the material web 11 on the heating unit 12 over, one of the heating unit 12 downstream, variably adjustable forming unit 13 for continuously variable forming of the by means of the heating unit 12 heated material web 11 and one of the forming unit 13 Downstream storage unit 26th (please refer 8A to 8F as an example) for continuously depositing the reshaped material web in a molding tool 28 (see for example 8A to 8F) while performing a relative movement between the reshaped material web 11 and the molding tool 28 .

The roll of material 10 can for example be stored on a winding shaft (not shown). The winding shaft can in turn, for example, directly by a motor or, for example, by an additional drive drum 62 (please refer 5 ) are driven.

12 shows an example of a layer structure of the material 200 . A first layer comprises a laminated hybrid 30th from a lower layer of plastic 30a and an upper layer made of a biaxial glass fiber fabric 30b . A layer of triaxial glass fiber fabric follows on top 40 and a layer of biaxial fiberglass scrim 50 with different stocks. Of course, other combinations and arrangements are conceivable. The material 200 can e.g. B. a plastic (especially thermoplastic) or a plastic-textile hybrid or a layer package made of plastic or plastic-textile hybrid and at least one other textile (see 12 ) include. For example, organic sheets or metal sheets can also be unwound and reshaped.

In the assembled device 100 becomes the material 200 from the roll of material 10 as a material web 11 settled. In general, the material can either be fitted as an endless roll or prefabricated in the desired lengths.

The heating unit 12 serves to reduce the flexural strength of the material 200 to then use the forming unit 13 to be continuously reshaped. The heating unit 12 in this example either at least one controllable or regulatable infrared heater and / or at least one heater fan. The heating unit 12 is used for the controlled supply of heat, in order in this example, a surface heating of the material web 11 to achieve. However, partial controllable or regulatable heating is also conceivable, for example.

The forming unit 13 has in this example an upper forming element that is also adjustable in height 14th and in this example two lower forming plates 16 on both sides of the forming element 14th on.

The upper forming element 14th is by means of an actuator 18th adjustable in height. The lower forming sheets 16 are, as exemplified in the 5 shown by means of a respective actuator in this example 17th laterally adjustable.

The variably adjustable forming plates 16 serve to generate a counterforce. In this example, the forming sheets are 16 rigidly on a frame (not shown) of the device 100 attached to the material 200 or the material web 11 respectively.

As can be seen from the 1 results, the web of material 11 precisely positioned by means of edge regulation via a deflector plate 19th be guided. In this example, the material edge is measured using a sensor 22nd detected and by an axial displacement of the roll of material 10 can the material 200 be held in position (see also 2 ).

The forming sheets 16 are usually positioned so that they do not touch the molding tool 28 get in touch. The molding tool 28 however, it can be used to shape the material. For this z. B. flexible metal sheets can be used, which could also come into contact with the mold.

A partial and controllable or adjustable heating of the material web 11 is, for example, through heatable metal sheets 16 (please refer 7th ) possible.

For example, a temperature of 70 ° C is necessary to shape a 2 mm thick material made of plastic. The heating of the material or the material webs can be determined by the conveying speed of the material web 11 and by the supply of heat, for example by means of the heating unit 12 control or regulate.

For example, the figures in the 1 to be indicated from top to bottom, is by the adjustable forming plates 16 as well as by positioning the forming element 14th by means of the actuator 18th determines the forming geometry. In the present example, the forming element comprises 14th a rolling role 15th . Alternatively, the deforming element 14th for example a actively operated sphere 15a (please refer 6th ) include. For example, the ball 15a be rotated by a motor (not shown) transversely to the conveying direction of the material or the material web. This enables the material to be moved.

The forming unit 13 can also be designed to perform sideways movement.

The device 100 is thus able to adjust the forming geometry during continuous forming and thus the contour of the material web 11 to be changed via the discard length (see for example 4th ).

About springing back of the material 200 To prevent this, the material can be cooled over, for example, its width after the deformation in order to increase the flexural strength of the material again. This can be done, for example, by an adaptive cooling unit 20th by means of an actuator 21st respectively. The adaptive cooling unit 20th can by means of the actuator 21st change the geometry so as to change the geometry of the formed material 200 or the reshaped material web 11 map. Uniform cooling is thus preferred over the entire width of the material web 11 possible.

As can be seen from the 8A to 8F results, the deposit unit 26th for example a draping tool 60 , in the present example in the form of a drapery wheel. The draping wheel is used to press the formed material 200 or the reshaped material web 11 into the molding tool 28 and in this example has a force sensor 63 , what the contact pressure of the draping wheel in the mold 28 is measured. The pressure force can thus be regulated or controlled and damage caused by excessive pressure can be avoided.

For direct and continuous storage of the material web 11 into a molding tool 28 can the device 100 for example by a robot 64 , especially a portal robot (see 9 ), or by, for example, a guide carriage 66 (please refer 10 ) can be positioned and moved. The feed or conveying speed can then be regulated in this way. The draping tool is advantageously used for particularly secure storage in the molding tool 60 for example with an actuator 61 used for height adjustment (see 6th and 7th ).

There is also the possibility, for example, by scanning the molding tool directly or beforehand 28 (please refer 11 ) by means of a suitable mold internal contour determination device 68 , for example in the form of a scanning device (see 11 ) to accommodate the inner contour of the mold and thus to regulate the pre-forming or forming accordingly.

An exemplary process sequence for forming and depositing a corresponding material in a molding tool 28 for example using the device 100 according to a particular embodiment of the present invention is in the 8A to 8F shown as an example. At the beginning (see 8A) the device positions itself 100 at a desired starting point above the forming tool 28 . The material 200 in the form of the material web 11 then becomes the metal sheets 16 in the longitudinal direction of the mold 28 guided, heated (see 8B) and reshaped (see 8C ). In order to increase the bending stiffness again, the formed material can 200 through the cooling device 20th be cooled down (see 8C and 8D ). Then the reshaped material 200 with the draping tool 60 into the molding tool 28 draped (see 8D ). The device 100 moves along the forming tool 28 and wraps the material 200 from the roll of material 10 synchronized from (see 8D ). In the case of endless rolls, a section would then be carried out (see 8E) . If the material 200 or the material web 11 completely in the mold 28 is the device 100 ready for another deposit (see 8F) .

The features of the invention disclosed in the above description, in the drawings and in the claims can be essential both individually and in any combination for the implementation of the invention in its various embodiments.
