Definitions

  • the invention relates to a scrim device with a plurality of reinforcing yarns, which are divided into at least two groups, of which a first, referred to as 0 ° reinforcing yarns group is oriented in a longitudinal direction and a second, referred to as 90 ° amplifier yarns group perpendicular to the Longitudinal direction of the first group is oriented.
  • the reinforcing yarns are designed for reinforcement of a composite structure to be formed in a separate process.
  • Scrim devices of the type mentioned above are used in the prior art to produce flat textiles with a substantially planar and possibly slightly concave or convex curved surface.
  • the known scrim devices however, have the disadvantage that a local drapability for forming highly curved surfaces is not given.
  • a clutch device of the type mentioned is from the document EP 0 268 838 known.
  • This document further discloses a sheet of fibers, in particular as a reinforcing insert for plastic parts, with warp and weft lying in the plastic filaments, the threads are made of a material that shrinks when exposed to a temperature below the melting point of the material temperature, and wherein the material after heat exposure with the result of shrinking substantially resumes its original strength to be well deformed at low weight and relatively low production costs and thus versatile to use as a reinforcing insert.
  • DE 27 07 001 discloses knitted or stitched textiles which on the one hand comprises a warp either of warp threads, ie longitudinally arranged thread formations, or a base layer consisting of a fabric and weft yarns lying thereon, ie transverse thread formations, on the other hand a knitted fabric joining the base layer and the weft threads, characterized in that the weft threads consist of two systems of transversely arranged thread structures, between which the base layer lies, so that the textiles have on both sides an articulated surface with transverse channels.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a scrim device whose local drapability for the formation of strongly curved concave / convex surfaces over the known scrim devices is substantially improved.
  • the scrim device according to the invention is intended intended to form together with an applied matrix of resin or thermoplastic a solid fiber composite, for example, for use in aircraft or for the production of rotors for wind turbines.
  • this object is achieved in that both groups of amplifier yarns of the amplifier yarns at least partially enveloping wrapping threads are held together so loosely that a displacement of any of the amplifier yarns is ensured in relation to an adjacent amplifier yarn, said draping the fabric to form concave / convex structures by pulling the reinforcing yarns of all groups from the edge region of the fabric, giving local drapability without elongation or wrinkling of adjacent reinforcement yarns when forming concave / convex structures.
  • both groups of reinforcing yarns of the reinforcing yarns at least partially enveloping Umhüllungsfäden are loosely held together that a displacement of any of the reinforcing yarns in relation to an adjacent reinforcing yarn is ensured, wherein a drape of the fabric to concave to form / Convex structures by pulling the reinforcing yarns of all Groups from the edge region of the Geleges takes place, wherein a local drapability is given without an expansion or wrinkling of adjacent reinforcing yarns occurs in a formation of concave / convex structures, achieved that necessary for the formation of concave / convex structures extension of a reinforcing yarn not by stretching the same is achieved, but in that a respective reinforcing yarn is drawn from the edge region ago.
  • the novel and advantageous properties of the scrim device according to the invention are achieved by a mesh-compatible incorporation of the reinforcing yarns, which furthermore has the advantage that damage to reinforcing yarns is ruled out.
  • This is in contrast to prior art scrim devices in which needles for introducing fixation threads from one side pierce the scrim, damaging individual scrim yarns.
  • the fixing threads conventionally introduced in this manner for connecting the individual reinforcing yarns to one another prevent a mutually displacing the reinforcing yarns against each other and thus prevent the possibility of forming locally strongly curved concave / convex structures.
  • sheath threads contain stitch-forming crochet threads which are arranged parallel to and between the 0 ° reinforcing yarns and envelop each of the 90 ° reinforcing yarns with one stitch each.
  • wrapping threads are formed by traversing threads running between in each case two adjoining crochet threads and linked to the crochet threads at respective connecting points. As a result, falling out of the 0 ° amplifier yarns is reliably prevented.
  • a traversing thread is preferably at an angle of 90 ° to 20 °, in the narrower sense at an angle of 70 ° to 30 ° and in particular at an angle of 50 ° to 40 ° or 45 ° to the longitudinal axis of 0 ° amplifier yarns arranged.
  • the traversing yarns are preferably arranged alternately in the direction of the longitudinal axis of a 0 ° amplifier yarn in a positively dimensioned angle (80 ° to 20 °) and a negative-sized angle (80 ° to -20 °).
  • a third group of amplifier yarns which are arranged at an oblique angle to the longitudinal axis of the 0 ° amplifier yarns and are held by meshes, each enveloping different of the 90 ° amplifier yarns.
  • a reinforcing yarn is typically not necessarily formed from a bundle of parallel filaments, however, wherein a filament may be formed of a natural fiber or a synthetic fiber and made of glass fiber, carbon fiber or aramid fiber.
  • the inventive scrim device 100 comprises a plurality of reinforcing yarns 110, 120 which are divided into two main groups, of which a first group designated as 0 ° reinforcing yarns 110 is oriented in a longitudinal direction and a second group designated as 90 ° reinforcing yarns 120 perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the first group 110 is oriented.
  • Both groups of reinforcing yarns 110, 120 are held together by the reinforcing yarns 110, 120 at least partially enveloping sheath threads 130, which contact the reinforcing yarns 110, 120 of both groups only in the region of the periphery and thus a displaceability of any reinforcing yarn 110, 120 in relation to ensure an adjacent amplifier yarn 110, 120.
  • the wrapping threads 130 include stitch-forming crochet threads 140 that are parallel to and between the 0 ° Amplifier yarns 110 are arranged and wrap each with a mesh of each of the 90 ° amplifier yarns 120.
  • the wrapping threads 130 are furthermore formed by traversing threads 150 running between in each case two adjacent crochet threads 140 and linked to the crochet threads 140 at respective connecting points 141, which reliably prevent the 0 ° reinforcing threads 110 from falling out.
  • a traversing yarn 150 is arranged at an angle of approximately 45 ° to the longitudinal axis of a 0 ° amplifier yarn 110, wherein the traversing yarns 150 in the direction of the longitudinal axis of a 0 ° amplifier arm 110 alternately in a positive-sized angle (+ 45 °) and a negative-sized angle (-45 °) are arranged.
  • a third group of amplifier yarns 125 is arranged at an oblique angle to the longitudinal axis of the 0 ° amplifier yarns 110.
  • the respective amplifier yarns 125 are held by meshes 126 which respectively envelop different ones of the 90 ° reinforcing yarns 120.
  • An amplifier yarn 110, 120, 125 is formed from a bundle of parallel filaments.
  • a filament is formed by an aramid fiber.
  • Draping the fabric 100 to form concave / convex structures is accomplished by drawing the reinforcement yarns 110, 120, 125 of all groups from the edge region of the fabric.
