Definitions
- the present invention relates to the general field of methods of manufacturing needled fibrous structures, which can be used for the manufacture of parts made of composite material.
- needling machines which can be used to make needled textile structures.
- a first machine of the planar type the needling of fibrous layers stacked on a table is carried out, the table moving in horizontal translation in front of a vertically movable needling head.
- a second machine of the circular type the needling of a continuous fibrous layer wound around a rotary mandrel is carried out.
- the mandrel has a surface of revolution around which the layer is wound, the layer being located opposite a movable needling head in a direction perpendicular to this surface.
- the needlepunched fibrous structures obtained have zones of weakness. These fragile zones are mainly due to recurrent needling on the same zone between two consecutive fibrous layers.
- the needling head moves along the fibrous layer to be needled (for example by translation of the table or rotation of the mandrel)
- the successive passages of the head between two layers can produce holes aligned in the direction the layer scrolling (phenomenon called "lineage").
- the method according to the invention makes it possible to reduce the risk that the needles of the needling head come to needling the same place twice between two successive fibrous layers.
- the step of relative displacement of the support relative to the needling head, corresponding to a relative offset of these elements relative to each other, makes it possible to prevent the needles from striking generally at the same place between two successive layers.
- the method according to the invention makes it possible to prevent the formation of needled hole lines (“lineage” phenomenon) between two successive layers and to reduce the brittleness problems caused by the latter.
- the composite material parts resulting from the subsequent densification of a needled fibrous structure obtained by a method according to the invention thus exhibit improved mechanical strength.
- the support can be a table or a rotary mandrel around an axis of rotation.
- the needling head can, during a needling step, move in translation perpendicular to the surface of the table with a vertical movement alternative.
- the table can move in translation in front of the needling head in order to needle a fibrous layer of larger size than that of the needling head.
- the needling head can, during a needling step, move perpendicular to the surface of the mandrel with an alternating vertical movement, that is to say in a radial direction by relative to the axis of rotation of the mandrel.
- the support can advantageously be a table, movable or not in translation in front of the needling head.
- the relative displacement of the support relative to the needling head may include a relative rotation of the support relative to the needling head.
- the relative rotation of the support relative to the needling head can be a rotation of the support along an axis perpendicular to a surface of the support.
- the support can rotate through a non-zero angle less than or equal to 5 °, for example less than or equal to 2 °.
- a range of angles reduced in this way makes it possible to avoid the presence of so-called “dead” zones where the fibrous layers are not needled.
- the support can advantageously be a rotary mandrel around an axis of rotation and on which a fibrous structure can be wound, a layer of fibrous structure making, for example, a turn around the mandrel.
- the relative displacement of the support relative to the needling head may include a relative translation of the support relative to the needling head.
- the support of the needling machine can be rotatable about an axis of rotation, the relative displacement of the support relative to the needling head then being a relative translation of the needling head relative to the support in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation of the support.
- the needling head or the support can be translated by a non-zero distance less than or equal to 30 mm, for example less than or equal to 15 mm, in particular in order to reduce the presence of dead zones in the needled layers.
- a planar type needling machine 100 which comprises a needling head 110 and a support here constituted by a table 120.
- the needling head 110 carries a determined number of needles 111 which are equipped with barbs, hooks or forks to take fibers from the fibrous layers and transfer them through them when they penetrate them. In a manner known per se, these needles 111 can be arranged in several rows of needles 111.
- the needling head 110 can move vertically, that is to say in the direction Z indicated in the figures, above from table 120.
- the needling head 110 can in particular move from top to bottom and from bottom to top in the vertical direction Z with an alternating vertical movement relative to the table 120, as illustrated by the double arrow 112.
- the table 120 extends in turn in horizontal directions X and Y perpendicular to the direction Z.
- the table 120 is here mounted on a post 130 movable in translation in a rail 140 extending along the direction X, so that the table 120 can be moved in rectilinear translation according to the direction X in front of the needling head 110 (double arrow 131).
- the needling head 110 cannot move in the X and Y directions.
- the table 120 is rotatable about an axis A, parallel to the axis Z, and perpendicular to the surface 121 of the table on which the needling of fibrous layers will be carried out. It will be noted that, in an equivalent variant not illustrated, the table 120 can be fixed in the direction X, while the needling head 110 can be movable in translation in the direction X.
- a first fibrous layer 10 is disposed and held on the table 120.
- the fibrous layer 10 has been needled by the needling head 110, for example by making a round trip in front of the needling head 110 by moving the table 120 in the rail 140.
- the needling head 110 is animated by a movement according to the double arrow 112.
- the needles 111 then penetrate into the fibrous layer or layers present on the table so that fibers interpenetrate the different fibrous layers in the direction Z.
- the movement of the table 120 in front of the head 110 can, during needling, be carried out step by step, that is to say with alternating phases of displacement and stop phases, the needling being carried out by the head 120 during the stop phases. This advantageously makes it possible to reduce the shearing of the fibrous layer during needling and to further improve the mechanical properties of the part.
- the figure 1B shows a top view of the first fibrous layer 10 on the table 120, as well as holes 11 corresponding to the location where the needles entered the first fibrous layer 10 during its needling.
- the needles 111 are distributed uniformly over a surface of the needling head 110.
- the needling head 110 is in a first position relative to the table 120, illustrated on the Figures 1A, 1B and 2 . This first position is defined here in particular by the orientation of the table 120 relative to the needling head 110.
- a second fibrous layer 20 is positioned on the first fibrous layer 10 already needled.
- the edges of the two fibrous layers 10 and 20 are aligned here on the table 120.
- the second layer 20 can be arranged differently on the first layer 10.
- a step of relative displacement of the table 120 is carried out (on which the two fibrous layers 10 and 20 are present) relative to the needling head 110.
- this step corresponds to a rotation of the table 120 around from its axis of rotation A by an angle a, the needling head 110 here being fixed horizontally.
- the angle ⁇ can be less than or equal to 5 ° (that is to say between -5 ° and 5 ° relative to the first position), or even less than or equal to 2 ° (that is to say say between -2 ° and 2 ° relative to the first position), in order to limit the size of the dead zones, that is to say non-needled, in the fibrous layers.
- ⁇ is not equal to 0.
- the needling head 110 is thus in a second position, different from the first position.
- the needling of the second fibrous layer 20 is carried out, the needling head 110 being in the second position at least at the start of the needling of the second layer 20.
- the needling of the second fibrous layer 20 can be carried out in the same way as the needling of the first fibrous layer 10.
- the table 120 can also move in front of the needling head 110 in the direction X and can go back and forth to needle the entire second layer 20.
- a needling machine 200 of the circular type which comprises a needling head 210 provided with needles 211 and a support constituted here by a mandrel 220 around which a fibrous structure 30 is intended to be wound .
- the mandrel 220 is rotatable about an axis B.
- the needling head 210 can move, during needling, in a direction Z perpendicular to the surface of the mandrel, this direction also corresponding to a radial direction with respect to to the axis B of the mandrel 220.
- the mandrel 220 is only movable in rotation around the axis B, and the needling head 210 is movable in translation only in the directions X and Z.
- the fibrous structure 30 may be in the form of a fibrous strip stored on a take-up mandrel 230.
- the wound portion forms a first fibrous layer 31 on the mandrel 220.
- the portion which covers the first layer 31 forms a second fibrous layer 32 on the mandrel 220.
- the mandrel 220 is rotated gradually (arrow 221) to make the first layer 31 pass in front of the needling head 210.
- the needling head 210 is animated with a movement along the double arrow 212 in order to needle the whole of the first layer 31.
- the needling head 210 is in a first position relative to the mandrel 220 This first position is defined here in particular by the position along the axis X of the needling head 210 relative to the mandrel 220.
- the movement of the fibrous structure 30 in front of the needling head 210 can be carried out step by step, in particular in order to reduce the shearing of the fibrous layer during needling.
- the figure 4B shows a view of the first layer 31 at the start of its needling and the position of the holes 31a resulting therefrom.
- the step of relative displacement of the mandrel 220 (on which the two fibrous layers 31 and 32 are carried out) is carried out relative to the needling head 210.
- this step corresponds to a translation of the head of needling 210 by a distance ⁇ X in the direction X parallel to the axis of rotation B of the mandrel.
- the distance ⁇ X can be less than or equal to 30 mm (that is to say that the displacement can be between -30mm and + 30mm relative to the first position), or even less than or equal to 15mm (that is that is to say between -15mm and + 15mm relative to the first position), in order to limit the size of the dead zones, that is to say non-needled, in the fibrous layers.
- ⁇ X is not equal to 0.
- the needling head 210 is thus in a second position, different from the first position.
- the needling of the second fibrous layer 32 is carried out, the needling head 210 being in the second position at least at the start of the needling of the second fibrous layer 32.
- the needling of the second fibrous layer 32 can be carried out in the same way as the needling of the first fibrous layer 31.
- the mandrel 220 can rotate around the axis B so as to scroll the second layer 32 in front of the needling head 210 which is moved back and forth in the direction Z.
- the steps of relative displacement of the support relative to the needling head correspond to particular movements of the support or of the head , for example a translation or a rotation, adapted in particular to the machine considered.
- the step of relative displacement of the support relative to the needling head successively comprises several types of movement, for example a translation followed by a rotation or vice versa.
- a fibrous layer may for example comprise a sheet of unidirectional fibers, or a textile sheet having a two-dimensional weaving.
- the fibers of the fibrous layer can be fibers of a refractory material such as carbon, or ceramic fibers, for example made of silicon carbide or glass.
