Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un procédé de réalisation de moules avec coquilles remplaçables pour la fabrication de pièces en matériaux composites. The present invention relates to a process for producing molds with replaceable shells for the production of parts made of composite materials.
La transformation des matériaux composites à base de résines de synthèse et de fibres de renfort est réalisée habituellement selon 3 familles de procédés
manuels (contact ou projection simultanée)
Ce sont des fabrications à froid sans pression, avec moule simple (1 seule face) dont les caractéristiques principales sont:
- niveau d'investissement très faible
- cadence de production très lente
Ces procédés sont utilisés pour des productions unitaires ou pour des très petites séries (10 à 200 pièces).The transformation of composite materials based on synthetic resins and reinforcing fibers is usually carried out according to 3 families of processes
manuals (contact or simultaneous projection)
These are cold pressless manufacturing, with simple mold (1 side only), the main characteristics of which are:
- very low level of investment
- very slow production rate
These processes are used for unit productions or for very small series (10 to 200 pieces).
très industrialisés (SMC-BMC)
Ce sont des fabrications à chaud sous haute pression avec moules fermés (2 faces) dont les caractéristiques principales sont:
- niveau d'investissement très élevé
- cadence de production très rapide
Ces procédés sont utilisés pour des productions en grandes séries (supérieures à 10000 pièces).highly industrialized (SMC-BMC)
These are high pressure hot manufacturing with closed molds (2 sides) whose main characteristics are:
- very high level of investment
- very fast production rate
These processes are used for mass production (over 10,000 pieces).
moyennement industrialisés (injection basse pression/RTM injection vide,
compression à froid)
Ce sont des fabrications à froid, moules fermés (2 faces) dont les caractéristiques principales sont:
- niveau d'investissement moyen
- cadence de production moyenne
Ces procédés étaient utilisés pour des productions entre quelques centaines jusqu'à quelques milliers de pièces. La limite supérieure de quelques milliers était due au fait que les moules utilisés sont réalisés eux-mêmes en matériaux composites et que leur surface se détériore après un, voire quelques milliers de pièces.moderately industrialized (low pressure injection / RTM vacuum injection,
cold compression)
These are cold manufacturing, closed molds (2 sides) whose main characteristics are:
- average level of investment
- average production rate
These processes were used for productions ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand pieces. The upper limit of a few thousand was due to the fact that the molds used are made themselves of composite materials and that their surface deteriorates after one or even a few thousand pieces.
La détérioration se caractérise par des fissures, des éclats, ce qui conduit à rebuter le moule, car les pièces produites n'ont plus l'aspect de surface désiré, alors que seule la peau intérieure du moule est détériorée (c'est elle qui est en contact avec la pièce moulée et qui donne l'aspect de la pièce produite). The deterioration is characterized by cracks, splinters, which leads to reject the mold, because the parts produced no longer have the desired surface appearance, while only the interior skin of the mold is deteriorated (it is she who is in contact with the molded part and which gives the appearance of the part produced).
Le restant du moule, ossature, forme générale, équipement périphérique étant encore parfaitement utilisable. The rest of the mold, framework, general shape, peripheral equipment is still perfectly usable.
Dans le procédé RTM traditionnel, une fois le moule fermé sur les renforts en fibres, la résine liquide, mélangée au catalyseur est injectée. In the traditional RTM process, once the mold is closed on the fiber reinforcements, the liquid resin, mixed with the catalyst, is injected.
Après un temps de durcissement (polymérisation) entre 3 et 4 fois la durée d'injection, la pièce est suffisamment rigide pour pouvoir être démoulée. After a curing time (polymerization) between 3 and 4 times the injection time, the part is rigid enough to be able to be removed from the mold.
Le procédé, selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients. The method according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks.
Il consiste à réaliser des moules en matériaux composites, mais dont la peau intérieure est indépendante du reste du moule, et peut donc être remplacée. It consists of making molds from composite materials, but the inner skin of which is independent of the rest of the mold, and can therefore be replaced.
Les moules sont normalement constitués de deux parties:
- Une partie femelle (matrice) et une partie mâle (poinçon) qui délimitent, une fois fermées l'une contre l'autre le volume de la pièce à réaliser.The molds are normally made up of two parts:
- A female part (matrix) and a male part (punch) which, once closed against each other, delimit the volume of the part to be produced.
- Dans le procédé, selon l'invention, la peau de la matrice, ou celle du poinçon, ou les deux sont des coquilles indépendantes qui sont réalisées séparément par injection
RTM.- In the method, according to the invention, the skin of the matrix, or that of the punch, or both are independent shells which are produced separately by injection
RTM.
Les dessins présentés en annexe illustrent l'invention:
La figure 1 représente en coupe la première phase qui est la réalisation des coquilles.The drawings presented in the appendix illustrate the invention:
Figure 1 shows in section the first phase which is the production of shells.
En référence à ce dessin, la matrice (1) est fixée avec un premier poinçon spécifique (2) pour la réalisation par injection RTM des coquilles. With reference to this drawing, the matrix (1) is fixed with a first specific punch (2) for the production by RTM injection of the shells.
La surface finale du moule matrice (matrice + coquille) est réalisée. The final surface of the matrix mold (matrix + shell) is produced.
La figure 2 représente en coupe, la seconde phase qui est la production en série des pièces moulées. Figure 2 shows in section, the second phase which is the mass production of molded parts.
En référence à ce dessin, la matrice (1) est la même que celle ayant servie pour la réalisation des coquilles, une de celles-ci étant placée dessus (3). With reference to this drawing, the matrix (1) is the same as that used to make the shells, one of these being placed on it (3).
Sur cette matrice (1) avec coquille (3) vient se fixer un second poinçon (4) pour la réalisation par injection RTM des pièces moulées. On this die (1) with shell (3) is fixed a second punch (4) for the production by RTM injection of the molded parts.
La différence entre le poinçon (2) pour injection des coquilles et le poinçon (4) pour injection des pièces est la place représentant la pièce à mouler. The difference between the punch (2) for injection of the shells and the punch (4) for injection of the parts is the place representing the part to be molded.
Selon une variante non illustrée, la coquille peut être réalisée sur le poinçon, dans ce cas, on utilise 2 matrices (une pour produire la coquille et une pour produire les pièces) et un seul poinçon. According to a variant not illustrated, the shell can be produced on the punch, in this case, 2 dies are used (one to produce the shell and one to produce the parts) and a single punch.
Selon une autre variante non illustrée, des coquilles sont réalisées aussi bien sur la matrice que sur le poinçon, dans ce cas, on utilise 2 matrices et 2 poinçons. According to another variant not illustrated, shells are made both on the die and on the punch, in this case, 2 dies and 2 punches are used.
Le procédé, selon l'invention, permet:
- une durée de vie des moules beaucoup plus longue (par le remplacement des coquilles)
- une augmentation importante des cadences de production, les pièces pouvant être démoulées avec la coquille beaucoup plus tôt, lorsqu'elles ne sont pas encore suffisamment rigides pour pouvoir être démoulées seules (sans la coquille).The method according to the invention allows:
- a much longer lifetime of the molds (by replacing the shells)
- a significant increase in production rates, the parts being able to be demolded with the shell much earlier, when they are not yet rigid enough to be able to be demolded alone (without the shell).
Et donc une augmentation des possibilités du RTM, permettant d'utiliser cette technique pour produire des séries entre quelques milliers jusqu'à une dizaine de milliers tout en conservant un très bel état de surface, ce qui n'était pas réalisable avec les moules traditionnels. And therefore an increase in the possibilities of the RTM, making it possible to use this technique to produce series between a few thousand to ten thousand while maintaining a very good surface condition, which was not achievable with traditional molds .
Le procédé selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à la production de pièces moulées en matériaux composites par injection RTM dans la plasturgie. The method according to the invention is particularly intended for the production of molded parts made of composite materials by RTM injection in the plastics industry.
