Description

  The present invention relates to an electrical bonding structure for a carbon fiber reinforced plastic product and a method for manufacturing the same, and more particularly, a carbon fiber that enables bonding by electrically connecting inner and outer layers of a carbon fiber reinforced plastic product simultaneously. The present invention relates to an electrical bonding structure of a reinforced plastic product and a manufacturing method thereof.

  Generally, a carbon fiber reinforced plastic product, for example, a container or a drinking water tank for an aircraft, is attached with a ground or the like because static electricity is easily charged. For example, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, when forming the outer shell of a hollow product such as a drinking water tank, at least one or more carbon fibers 2 are impregnated with a matrix resin 3 on the inner and outer surfaces of the non-metallic honeycomb core 1. The inner layer 4 and the outer layer 5 made of the carbon fiber reinforced plastic sheet are laminated. When electrical bonding is performed from such a hollow product, the surface of the outer layer 3 of the fiber reinforced plastic sheet is sanded after the product is cured to expose the carbon fibers 2.

  And the method which adhere | attaches the metal stud 6 comprised with the exposed carbon fiber 2 part with the metal material of the cross-sectional substantially T shape cross section with the electroconductive room-temperature-curing-type adhesive agent 7 (for example, patent document 1). reference).

  However, in such a method, in the carbon fiber reinforced plastic product having a sandwich structure using an insulating material (Nomex) core such as an aramid fiber, the metal stud 6 is in contact only with the outer layer 5 side, and the inner layer of the core 1 There was a problem that electrical bonding on the side could not be taken. In addition, the carbon fiber 2 may be damaged by sanding, resulting in a decrease in strength. Furthermore, there is a problem that the resistance between the carbon fiber reinforced plastic layer (carbon fiber 2 and matrix resin 3) and the metal stud 6 is large, and a sufficient electrical bonding effect cannot be obtained.

Further, the conductive room temperature curable adhesive 7 has insufficient adhesive strength, and may not provide sufficient torque strength for the metal stud 6. As a result, when attaching the bonding wire terminal, there is a fear that the nut may come off if the tightening torque of the nut is too strong.

The gist is that an inner layer and an outer layer made of a carbon fiber reinforced plastic sheet are laminated.

  Here, the hollow product is an aircraft drinking water tank, and the conductive patch member is constituted by impregnating a thermosetting conductive adhesive obtained by mixing a metal powder into a carbon fiber cloth, The metal stud is made of a metal material having a substantially T-shaped cross section.

  Further, according to the method for manufacturing an electrical bonding structure of a carbon fiber reinforced plastic product of the present invention, a cylindrical metal spacer penetrating from an inner surface side to an outer surface side is embedded in a part of a non-metallic honeycomb core, and the metal spacer A conductive patch member of a predetermined size configured by impregnating a thermosetting conductive adhesive in which a metal powder is mixed with carbon fiber cloth is laminated on the upper and lower surfaces and the inner and outer surfaces of the honeycomb core. A metal stud is erected from the inner surface side to the outer surface side of the honeycomb core in the hollow portion, and an inner layer and an outer layer made of a carbon fiber reinforced plastic sheet are laminated on the inner and outer surfaces of the honeycomb core. The gist is to simultaneously and integrally form at the time of molding.

  With this configuration, the inner and outer layers of the carbon fiber reinforced plastic product can be electrically connected at the same time for bonding.

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the following excellent effects can be obtained. (a) With the metal spacer penetrating the honeycomb core, the inner layer and the outer layer can be electrically connected at the same time for bonding.
(b) There is no need for sanding of the bonding surface of the outer layer, and there is no risk of strength reduction.
(c) By adding a patch impregnated with a conductive adhesive, the resistance between the inner and outer carbon fiber reinforced plastics and the metal stud can be reduced and the bonding effect can be enhanced.
