Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for efficiently manufacturing a composite panel for an airplane by laminating a wide prepreg, a narrow prepreg or the like in individual areas and also cutting them in separate areas in order to realize the high speed lamination of the prepregs and performing the feed of the prepregs by hanging-up aerial feed, and an apparatus therefor. <P>SOLUTION: A release film is closely brought into contact with a planar table 4 and a planar laminate having a large area is formed by the four-axial control of the wide prepreg 5 of an unidirectional material and/or a cross material on the film. The narrow prepreg 13 is laminated on the film in the same way on another table 12 and the formation of a lattice-like laminate is performed parallelly and, next, the large area laminate and the lattice like laminate are floated along with the release film by blowing off air from the areas under the respective tables. Thereafter, the laminates are aerially fed to be placed on one cutting table 9 and cut into a required shape to form a skin part and a doubler part laminate successively. Both of them are hung up from the cutting table in a curtain state and aerially fed to be placed and laminated on the lamination fixture 22 of a single contour surface to form the composite panel. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、航空機の胴体や翼さらにはロケットの胴体やフェアリングなどのパネルとして用いるCFRPなどより成る複合材パネルの製造方法及びその装置に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来より航空機の軽量化のために胴体や翼を始めとして種々の部品の外壁面に、金属パネルに代ってCFRPなどより成る複合材パネルが用いられることが多くなってきた。この複合材パネルを製造するには、従来、上面をコンター面となした積層型に直接プリプレグを積層するプリプレグ自動積層機(通称:ATL)が開発され、使用されてきた。
このプリプレグ自動積層機は、3または6インチ幅の一方向材プリプレグをNC制御にて積層する機能を有するが、常に細幅単位でしか積層できないため、大面積の積層や厚板積層には時間がかかり、効率が悪かった。
【0003】
また、近年開発されたファイバープレースメント装置(通称:FPM)は、複雑なコンター面を有する積層型へのプリプレグの積層が可能で、3〜10mmの細幅プリプレグを何10本も同時積層できることを特徴とするが、何分にもプリプレグ幅が細すぎるため、単位面積当りの積層時間は前記プリプレグ自動積層機よりもさらに多くかかり、非常に効率が悪かった。
【0004】
そして上記いずれも積層型に直接プリプレグを積層する方法は、プリプレグ自動積層に積層型が拘束されるため、プリプレグの自動積層中は型上にて他の仕事ができず、生産レートの高いパネルの製造には向かなかった。
【0005】
また、上記いずれも3次元コンター面を有する積層型へのプリプレグ積層を可能にするため、積層ヘッドに全ての機能を持たせた10軸制御機能とプリプレグを切断できる機能を備えさせているため、積層ヘッドが非常に重く、装置全体が大がかりなものとなっていた。
【0006】
さらに、プリプレグの切断機能は直線切断しかできないものであるため、細かな形状切断に対応できなかった。
【0007】
さらにまた、複雑なコンター面を有する積層型へのプリプレグ積層を行うには、積層ヘッドを制御するために非常に高い演算能力が必要で、制御にも時間がかかることから、積層時間も長くなり、効率的なプリプレグ積層ができなかった。
【0008】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
そこで本発明は、従来のオールインワンタイプのプリプレグ自動積層機の機能を分解し、夫々個別機能として稼動させることで、プリプレグの高速積層を実現するために、幅広プリプレグの平面積層、細幅プリプレグの平面積層、さらには細幅プリプレグの点在平面積層を個別のエリアで行うようにし、これらを行って得たプリプレグ積層体の形状裁断を別のエリアで順次行うようにし、形状裁断した各プリプレグ積層体をさらに別のエリアで順次積層するようにし、各平面積層エリアから裁断エリアへのプリプレグ積層体の搬送及び裁断エリアから積層治具へのプリプレグ積層体の搬送は吊り上げ空中搬送することで、効率的なプリプレグ積層による航空機用複合材パネルの製造を行うことのできる方法及びその装置を提供しようとするものである。

【0021】
次に上記のように構成された実施形態の製造装置による航空機用複合材パネルの製造方法の種々の実施形態について説明する。窓などの開口部を作らない胴体パネルに用いるシングルコンター形状の複合材パネルの製造方法の実施形態においては、製造装置のプリプレグ点在装置17は使用せず、プリプレグ積層体積層治具22は上面が図3に示すようにシングルコンター面23のものが使用される。以下、本製造方法の工程について説明する。幅広プリプレグ積層装置1の平面積層テーブル4上に図2に示すように離型フィルムFを載せ、上面に開口した小穴2から下部の空気給排空間3を通して真空吸引し、離型フィルムFを平面積層テーブル4上に密着させた後、その離型フィルムF上で図3に示すように一方向材及びクロス材の幅寸法1mの幅広プリプレグ5を4軸制御の自動積層機7の積層ヘッド6により平面積層し、大面積のプリプレグ積層体P を形成する。これと並行して細幅プリプレグ積層装置11の平面積層テーブル12上に図2に示すように離型フィルムFを載せ、上面に開口した小穴2から下部の空気給排空間3を通して真空吸引し、離型フィルムFを平面積層テーブル12上に密着させた後、その離型フィルムF上で例えば図3に示すように1〜20cmの各種幅寸法のスリットされた一方向材の細幅プリプレグテープ13を4軸制御の自動積層機15の積層ヘッド14に装着したプリプレグカセット16から繰り出し、縦方向,横方向に所要の間隔をあけて平面積層し、格子状のプリプレグ積層体P を形成する。次に前記の大面積のプリプレグ積層体P を平面積層テーブル4の小穴2から空気を吹き出して離型フィルムFごと浮上させた後、図6、図7に示すスライド式搬送装置27の走行装置30に備えられたチャック31に離型フィルムFの両側端を把持させ、走行装置30をレール28、29を走行させて隣接のプリプレグ積層体裁断装置8にスライド式に空中搬送し、その裁断装置8の裁断テーブル9上にプリプレグ積層体P を降して載置し、離型フィルムFからチャック31を離した上、裁断テーブル9の上面に開口した小穴2から下部の空気給排空間3を通して真空吸引し、離型フィルムFごと大面積のプリプレグ積層体P を裁断テーブル9上に密着させる。然る後、所要寸法,形状となるように自動裁断機10により図10に示すように裁断して、スキン部プリプレグ積層体Sを形成する。次いで、裁断テーブル9上の離型フィルムFを真空吸引させたままスキン部プリプレグ積層体Sの一側端をクレーン25のハンガー26に把持させ離型フィルムFから引き剥がして図11に示すようにカーテン状に吊り上げる。そしてクレーン25を直角方向に走行させて上面がシングルコンター面23のプリプレグ積層体積層治具22にスキン部プリプレグ積層体Sを空中搬送し、その積層治具22のシングルコンター面23上に図12に示すように吊り降して載置する。次に前記の格子状のプリプレグ積層体P を平面積層テーブル12の小穴2から空気を吹き出して離型フィルムFごと浮上させた後、図6、図7に示すスライド式搬送装置27′の走行装置30′に備えられたチャック31に離型フィルムFの両側端を把持させ、走行装置30′をレール28′、29を走行させて隣接のプリプレグ積層体裁断装置8にスライド式に空中搬送し、その裁断装置8の裁断テーブル9上にプリプレグ積層体P を降して載置し、離型フィルムFからチャック31を離した上、裁断テーブル9の上面に開口した小穴2から下部の空気給排空間3を通して真空吸引し、離型フィルムFごと格子状のプリプレグ積層体P を裁断テーブル9上に密着させる。然る後、所要寸法,形状となるように自動裁断機10により裁断して、図13に示すように胴体パネルにおけるストリンガー等の取付部の補強となるダブラー部プリプレグ積層体Dを形成する。次いで、このダブラー部プリプレグ積層体Dを裁断テーブル9の小穴2から空気を吹き出して離型フィルムFごと浮上させた後、図8と同様にクレーン25のハンガー26に離型フィルムFの一側端を把持させて図11と同様にカーテン状に吊り上げる。そしてクレーン25を直角方向に走行させてダブラー部プリプレグ積層体Dをプリプレグ積層体積層治具22に空中搬送し、その積層治具22のシングルコンター面23上に先に載置したスキン部プリプレグ積層体Sの上に離型フィルムFを上にしてダブラー部プリプレグ積層体Dを吊り降して載置し、積層し、その後離型フィルムFを引き剥して除去し、図14に示すように胴体パネル用のシングルコンター形状の複合材パネルP1を作る。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for manufacturing a composite material panel made of CFRP or the like used as a panel for an aircraft fuselage or wing, or a rocket fuselage or fairing.
[0002]
[Prior art]
BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, composite panels made of CFRP or the like have been used instead of metal panels on outer wall surfaces of various parts such as a fuselage and wings in order to reduce the weight of aircraft. In order to manufacture this composite material panel, a prepreg automatic laminating machine (commonly known as ATL) for directly laminating a prepreg directly on a lamination type having an upper surface as a contour surface has been developed and used.
This automatic prepreg laminator has the function of laminating unidirectional prepregs of 3 or 6 inches in width under NC control. However, since lamination can always be performed only in units of narrow widths, lamination of large areas and lamination of thick plates takes time. And it was inefficient.
[0003]
In addition, the recently developed fiber placement device (commonly known as FPM) is capable of laminating prepregs on a laminated type having a complicated contour surface, and is capable of simultaneously laminating dozens of narrow prepregs having a width of 3 to 10 mm. Although the feature is that the prepreg width is too small for many minutes, the lamination time per unit area is much longer than that of the automatic prepreg laminating machine, and the efficiency is very low.
[0004]
And in any of the above, the method of directly laminating the prepreg on the lamination mold is because the lamination mold is constrained by the automatic lamination of the prepreg, so other work cannot be performed on the mold during the automatic lamination of the prepreg, and the production rate of the panel is high. Did not go to production.
[0005]
In addition, in order to enable prepreg lamination to a lamination type having a three-dimensional contour surface in any of the above, since the lamination head has a 10-axis control function having all functions and a function of cutting the prepreg, The lamination head was very heavy, and the entire apparatus was large.
[0006]
Furthermore, the cutting function of the prepreg can only cut linearly, so that it cannot cope with fine shape cutting.
[0007]
Furthermore, in order to perform prepreg lamination on a lamination type having a complicated contour surface, very high computing power is required to control the lamination head, and the control takes a long time. Thus, efficient prepreg lamination could not be performed.
[0008]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Therefore, the present invention disassembles the functions of the conventional all-in-one type prepreg automatic laminating machine and operates them as individual functions to realize high-speed lamination of prepregs. Lamination, and furthermore, scattered planar lamination of narrow prepregs is performed in individual areas, and the shape of the prepreg laminate obtained by performing these is sequentially performed in another area. In a separate area, and the transfer of the prepreg laminate from each planar stacking area to the cutting area and the transfer of the prepreg laminate from the cutting area to the stacking jig are lifted and transported in the air, thereby being efficient. To provide a method and an apparatus capable of producing an aircraft composite panel by a simple prepreg lamination. It is.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
One of the manufacturing methods of the aircraft composite panel of the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problem is that a release film is brought into close contact with a flat laminated table by vacuum suction, and then a one-way material or And / or laminating a wide prepreg of the cloth material by four-axis control to form a large-area prepreg laminated body, and releasing the release film after closely adhering the release film to another planar lamination table by vacuum suction. A unidirectional material and / or a cross material of narrow width prepreg slit to various widths on the film are plane-laminated at required intervals in the vertical and horizontal directions by four-axis control to form a grid-like prepreg laminate. The formation was performed in parallel, and then a large-area prepreg laminate and a grid-like prepreg laminate were blown out from under each of the planar lamination tables, and were floated together with the release film. , Sequentially slide-mounted in the air, placed on one cutting table, fixed by vacuum suction, cut into the required size and shape, and successively laminated skin part prepreg laminate, doubler prepreg laminate Then, the skin prepreg laminate and the doubler prepreg laminate are sequentially lifted in the form of a curtain from a cutting table, conveyed in the air, placed on a laminating jig having a single contour surface, laminated, and laminated. It is characterized by the following.
[0010]
In this method of manufacturing a composite panel for an aircraft, the prepreg laminate of the skin portion placed on the laminating jig having a single contour surface is lifted from the cutting table, and the release film is vacuum-sucked to the cutting table. The doubler prepreg laminate to be laminated on the skin prepreg laminate placed on the laminating jig of the single contour surface is lifted from the cutting table, transported in the air and laminated, when releasing the release film It is necessary to take a method of lifting the entire product, transporting it in the air, laminating the release film on the skin prepreg laminate, and then removing the release film.
[0011]
Another one of the manufacturing methods of the aircraft composite panel of the present invention is that, after a release film is closely adhered to a flat laminated table by vacuum evacuation, a one-way material and / or a cloth material is formed on the release film. A wide prepreg is laminated on a plane by four-axis control with a gap to form a prepreg laminate having an intermittent large area, and a release film is adhered to another planar lamination table by evacuation and then released. A unidirectional material and / or a cross material of narrow width prepreg slit to various widths on the film are plane-laminated at required intervals in the vertical and horizontal directions by four-axis control to form a grid-like prepreg laminate. After the forming is performed in parallel, and then the intermittent large-area prepreg laminate and the lattice-like prepreg laminate are blown out from under each of the planar lamination tables and floated together with the release film. Sequentially transported in the air in a sliding manner, placed on one cutting table, fixed by vacuum suction, cut into the required size and shape, and successively interrupted skin prepreg laminate, doubler prepreg laminate Was formed, and then the intermittent skin portion prepreg laminate was lifted in a curtain form from the cutting table, transported in the air, placed on a double-contour surface laminating jig, and the intermittent skin portion prepreg laminate was spread on the double contour surface. A wide prepreg is additionally laminated in the gap of the intermittent skin prepreg laminate, and then the doubler prepreg laminate is lifted in the form of a curtain from a cutting table on the skin prepreg laminate having no gap, and is transported in the air and placed. And laminated to form a composite panel.
