Description

【発明の詳細な説明】 周囲温度で硬化可能な構造膜接着要素及びその使用法[背景技術] 本発明は一般に2の構造物の接合2特に構造物接合用の複合膜接着要素に関する 。[Detailed description of the invention] Structural membrane adhesive element curable at ambient temperature and its use [Background technology] The present invention relates generally to composite membrane adhesive elements for joining two structures, particularly for joining two structures. .

多くの製造作業においてもっとも重要な面の1つに、別個に製造され2次いでよ り大きい構造物に互いに接合される構造物の接合がある。これは他の構造物又は 最終組立て部品に互いに接合されることがある。構造物の接合は重要な作業であ る。構造物が接合箇所でその後しばしば破損が起ったり。One of the most important aspects of many manufacturing operations is that There are joints of structures that are joined to each other in larger structures. This may be caused by other structures or They may be joined together in the final assembly. Joining structures is an important task. Ru. Damage often occurs at joints in structures.

あるいは2の構造物の間に特定の要求を満たす必要があったりするからである。Or, it may be necessary to satisfy specific requirements between two structures.

2の構造物の接合面に2強固で、疲労及び腐蝕のような多くの異なる機構による 破損に対する抵抗性がめられると共に電気絶縁体として作用する他の要件を満た すことがめられることもあるからである。The joint surface of two structures is strong and can be affected by many different mechanisms such as fatigue and corrosion. Must be resistant to breakage and meet other requirements to act as an electrical insulator. This is because it is sometimes recommended to do so.

航空機及び宇宙飛行体に用いられる構造物には最大の要求が課せられることが多 い、秀れた物理的性質と低重量とを兼ね備えなければならないからである。過去 においては、この構造体のほとんどはリベットボルト又はスクリューのような機 械的留め具、又は溶接や半田付けのような冶金接合技術で接合されていた。最近 では、接着剤の性質が改良されたので、多くの航空宇宙構造物が接着剤で接合で きる。接着剤で結合した構造物は留め具で接合した構造物に比べて重要な構造上 の利点を有している。結合構造物は1表面荷重が広い面積に亙って分布するため 留め具を用いたものより実際上強固であるからである。荷重が分布するので、留 め具の回りの応力集中で始まる疲労割れによるような構造破損の例が極めて減少 される。Structures used in aircraft and spacecraft are often subject to the greatest demands. This is because it must have both excellent physical properties and low weight. past In , most of this structure uses mechanisms such as rivets, bolts or screws. They were joined by mechanical fasteners or metallurgical joining techniques such as welding or soldering. recently Now that the properties of adhesives have improved, many aerospace structures can now be joined with adhesives. Wear. Adhesively bonded structures have more important structural features than fastener bonded structures. It has the following advantages. Because the bonded structure has one surface load distributed over a wide area, This is because it is actually stronger than one using a fastener. Since the load is distributed, the Significantly reduced instances of structural failure such as fatigue cracking initiated by stress concentration around fittings be done.

接合を行なう場合、接合線が強固であると同時に電気絶縁障壁を形成することが 必要であることがある。1例として。When bonding, the bond line must be strong and at the same time form an electrically insulating barrier. Sometimes it is necessary. As an example.

宇宙飛行体の電気貯蔵電池のニッケル合金圧力容器はアルミニウム熱フランジに 接合されて電池に溜る熱を発散するのを助ける。電池とフランジとの間の接合線 が電気的に絶縁されていることが重要である。電池の電荷が宇宙飛行体の他の部 れることになる。更に接着剤は宇宙環境で極めて低粒子ガス放出性[parti cle outgasslng ]を有しなければならない。Spacecraft Electric Storage Battery Nickel Alloy Pressure Vessel With Aluminum Thermal Flange It helps dissipate the heat that accumulates in the battery when bonded. Joining line between battery and flange It is important that the parts are electrically isolated. The charge on the battery is transferred to other parts of the spacecraft. It will be. Furthermore, the adhesive has extremely low particle outgassing in the space environment [parti cle outgaslng].

即ち、接着剤の存在は、大気に入り他の宇宙航空体システムに悪影響を及ぼすこ とがある小粒子を生じてはならない。In other words, the presence of the adhesive may cause it to enter the atmosphere and adversely affect other aerospace systems. must not produce any small particles.

シリコン ベース接着剤[例えばRTV5H接着剤]は熱フランジに電池圧力容 器を結合するのに用いられる。この接着剤は周囲温度で硬化し固化し各結合面に 適用することができるペーストとして入手できる0周囲温度での硬化可能性はこ の適用及び航空機及び宇宙航空体構造物の接合の他の多くの適用にとって重要で ある。結合する全構造物を接着剤を硬化するため上昇温度に加熱する必要がない からである。シリコン ベース接着剤はそれ自体実質的に電気的非伝導性である が、接着剤だけを圧力容器とフランジとの間に置くと1両者が個々の点で物理的 に接触して生成結合線が電気絶縁の要求を満たさない。Silicone-based adhesives [e.g. RTV5H adhesive] can be used to attach battery pressure vessels to thermal flanges. Used to join vessels. This adhesive cures and solidifies at ambient temperature and bonds to each bonding surface. Available as a paste that can be applied, the curing potential at 0 ambient temperature is applications and many other applications in joining aircraft and aerospace structures. be. There is no need to heat the entire structure being joined to elevated temperatures to cure the adhesive It is from. Silicone-based adhesives are themselves virtually electrically non-conductive However, if only adhesive is placed between the pressure vessel and the flange, both will be physically separated at individual points. The bond wire produced in contact with the wire does not meet the electrical insulation requirements.

従つて、圧力容器とフランジとの間にマイラー プラスチックのような絶縁体層 を絶縁体層に一方の側の接着剤と共におくのが標準の実施である。即ち、結合構 造は、圧力容器とフランジとをシリコン接着剤で被覆し、接着剤層の一方の上に マイラ一層をおいた後部品を共に硬化のため締付けることによって形成される9 この方法は操業できるものであるが1組立て部品を動かすことができる程充分高 い強度にシリコン接着剤を硬化するには約148要するので遅いのである。この 方法は重量の点からも有効ではない、接着剤は重く、接着剤をペーストとして適 用する場合厚みを正確に制御できないからである。結合構造物の間の中間層の全 厚みは典型的には約0.030インチであるが、接着剤を適用する作業者の熟練 度に依存する2過剰の厚みは宇宙航空体の重量をかなり増大させる。この接着剤 結合技術も遅く高価である8作業者ができるだけ層を均iにして全ての面積を被 覆するように注意深く各表面に接着剤を適用しなければならないからである。最 後に、もっとも重要なことは、生成結合構造物が、接着剤自体が弱いからではな く、接着剤層の間に挿入されるマイラー フィルムのために弱いからである、構 造物は互いに直接ではなくマイラーフィルムを介して結合される。Therefore, between the pressure vessel and the flange there is a layer of insulation, such as Mylar plastic. It is standard practice to place the insulator layer with adhesive on one side. In other words, the coupling structure The construction consists of coating the pressure vessel and flange with silicone adhesive, and applying a layer of silicone on one side of the adhesive layer. Formed by placing a layer of Mylar and then tightening the parts together for hardening.9 This method is operable but high enough to move one assembly. It takes about 148 hours to cure the silicone adhesive to a high strength, so it is slow. this The method is also not effective from a weight point of view, the adhesive is heavy and the adhesive cannot be used as a paste. This is because the thickness cannot be accurately controlled when used. All intermediate layers between bonding structures The thickness is typically about 0.030 inches, but depending on the skill of the operator applying the adhesive. The degree-dependent excess thickness adds considerably to the weight of the aerospace vehicle. this adhesive The bonding technology is also slow and expensive. 8 Workers try to make the layers as even as possible to cover the entire area. This is because the adhesive must be carefully applied to each surface so as to cover it. most Later, the most important point is that the resulting bonded structure is not due to the weakness of the adhesive itself. This is because the Mylar film inserted between the adhesive layers is weak, making the structure The structures are not connected directly to each other, but through Mylar film.

従って1周囲温度で構造物を結合する改良された接着剤結合技術に対する要望が 存在している。この技術は強固な結合を生じると共に、接着剤の全使用及び必要 な労働の両面、さらに結合構造物を動かすことができる前に結合作業が完了する に必要な時間の面からも経済的でなければならない、この結合方法は受容できる 低水準の粒子ガス放出でなければならない、この技術は電池圧力容器と熱フラン ジの結合のような電気絶縁結合線を提供しなければならない、然しなから、この 技術は他の構造物の結合にも広い適用性を有している0本発明はこれらの需要を 満たしさらに関連する利点を提供するものである、 [発明の概要] 本発明は。使用前に結合面の大きさに対応する正確な大きさに予め製造すること ができる構造膜接着剤要素及びその使用法に関する4 この膵液着剤要素は結合 する構造物の電気分離と絶縁とを確保する所留の接着剤厚みに正確に製造できる 。There is therefore a need for improved adhesive bonding techniques to bond structures at ambient temperatures. Existing. This technique produces a strong bond and eliminates the need for the use of adhesives. both sides of the labor, and the bonding work is completed before the bonded structure can be moved. This method of joining must be economical in terms of the time required to Must have low levels of particulate gas emissions, this technology requires battery pressure vessels and hot flan. An electrically insulated bond wire such as a wire bond must be provided, but this The technique has wide applicability to join other structures; the present invention meets these needs. meets the requirements and provides further related benefits; [Summary of the invention] The present invention is. Pre-manufactured to the exact size that corresponds to the size of the bonding surface before use. 4. Concerning the structural membrane adhesive element that can be used and its use. This pancreatic fluid adhesive element can be Can be manufactured precisely to the desired adhesive thickness to ensure electrical isolation and insulation of structures .

[好ましい態様の説明] 本発明は、2の構造物を互いに結合するために用いられ。[Description of preferred embodiments] The invention can be used to join two structures together.

第1図でlOとした膵液着剤要素に具体化される。膵液着剤要素lOは製造され 構造物を結合する前に貯蔵し取扱うことができる物品である。膵液着剤要素10 は多孔担体層12を含む、担体層12の各側には未硬化接着剤層14があり、各 接着剤層14は担体層12から接着剤層14の分離を生じることなく全体の膵液 着剤要素10を取扱うことができるに充分の強度で担体層12に接合されている 。担体層12は多孔であるので、接着剤層14の物質の少量が膵液着剤要素10 の製造中に担体層12ア中に進入することができ、それによって接着剤層14と 担体層12との間の必要な結合を生じ硬化前でも膵液着剤要素10を保持するに 充分の強度を提供する。好ましくは、接着剤層14の担体層12と接触しない側 に分離できる剥離層16を用意する。膵液着剤要素10は正しい場所にあるこの 剥離膜層16と共に製造した後。This is embodied in the pancreatic fluid adhesive element designated lO in FIG. Pancreatic fluid adhesive element lO is manufactured Articles that can be stored and handled prior to joining structures. Pancreatic juice adhesive element 10 includes a porous carrier layer 12, with an uncured adhesive layer 14 on each side of the carrier layer 12; Adhesive layer 14 absorbs the entire pancreatic fluid without causing separation of adhesive layer 14 from carrier layer 12. bonded to carrier layer 12 with sufficient strength to allow handling of adhesive element 10; . Because the carrier layer 12 is porous, a small amount of the material in the adhesive layer 14 is absorbed into the pancreatic fluid adhesive element 10. during the manufacture of the carrier layer 12a, thereby allowing the adhesive layer 14 and to create the necessary bond with the carrier layer 12 and retain the pancreatic fluid adhesive element 10 even before curing. Provides sufficient strength. Preferably, the side of the adhesive layer 14 not in contact with the carrier layer 12 A peeling layer 16 that can be separated into two is prepared. The pancreatic fluid adhesive element 10 is in the correct location. After manufacturing with release film layer 16.

結合操作で膵液着剤要素lOを使用する直前に除く。Remove immediately before using pancreatic fluid adhesive element IO in the binding operation.

2の構造物18の結合のための膵液着剤要素lOの使用は第2図に示し、構造物 1Bの間の結合線19を示している。剥離@層16が除かれ、残りの膵液着剤要 素lOが2の構造物18の間の正しい場所にある。各構造物18は接着剤の2層 14及び多孔担体層12により結合線19で他方と結合している。The use of a pancreatic fluid adhesive element lO for joining two constructs 18 is shown in FIG. A bond line 19 between 1B and 1B is shown. Peeling @ layer 16 removed and remaining pancreatic fluid glue required The element IO is in the correct place between the two structures 18. Each structure 18 has two layers of adhesive 14 and the other by a bonding line 19 by the porous carrier layer 12.

担体層12の好ましい物質はファイバグラス織物のようなガラス繊維マットであ る。微細ガラス繊維は織られ圧縮され共に押出して必要な各種の厚みで市場で入 手できるマットを形成できる。ガラス繊維のマットの厚みは約0.004インチ で満足できることが判った1層12は、全てのマットや織物のように他の物質が 多孔性に進入できるようなある程度の空間が繊維の間にあるという意味で多孔性 である。この多孔性は第3図に示す理由で本発明の実施に有用である。膵液着剤 要素10を製造後、接着剤層の物質が繊維内接着剤物質22として繊維20の間 に進入する9繊維内接着剤物質22の連続通路が担体層12の厚みを通して存在 するので、担体層12は繊維複合材料となる。繊維20は繊維内接着剤物質22 と協力して剪断力を支え、繊維内接着剤物質22は繊維20に垂直な引張り荷重 に耐える。対照的に、非多孔層はこのような接着剤物質の進入を許容しないので 接着線で支えられる引張り及び剪断荷重は非多孔層と接着剤層との間の比較的弱 い界面で完全に支えることが必要となる。A preferred material for carrier layer 12 is a glass fiber mat, such as a woven fiberglass material. Ru. Fine glass fibers are woven, compressed and co-extruded to make them available on the market in various thicknesses as required. You can form a hand-made mat. The thickness of the fiberglass mat is approximately 0.004 inches. 1 layer 12, which has been found to be satisfactory with other materials, as in all mats and fabrics. porous in the sense that there is some space between the fibers that allows access to the porosity It is. This porosity is useful in the practice of this invention for the reasons illustrated in FIG. pancreatic fluid adhesive After manufacturing the element 10, the material of the adhesive layer is bonded between the fibers 20 as an intrafiber adhesive material 22. There is a continuous passageway of 9 intrafiber adhesive material 22 through the thickness of the carrier layer 12 that enters the carrier layer 12. Therefore, the carrier layer 12 becomes a fiber composite material. Fiber 20 has an intrafiber adhesive material 22 The intrafiber adhesive material 22 supports the tensile loads perpendicular to the fibers 20 withstand In contrast, non-porous layers do not allow the ingress of such adhesive substances, so The tensile and shear loads carried by the adhesive line are relatively weak between the non-porous layer and the adhesive layer. It is necessary to provide complete support at a narrow interface.

接着剤層14の物質は接着剤混合物であり、好ましくは周囲温度で硬化するエポ キシ樹脂及びその硬化剤の混合物である。The material of adhesive layer 14 is an adhesive mixture, preferably an epoxy that cures at ambient temperature. It is a mixture of xy resin and its curing agent.

満足できるエポキシ樹脂はビスフェノール−Aタイプの828エポン エポキシ である。このようなエポキシ樹脂はタイプEC2216エボキシ樹脂として3M 社から入手できる。好ましい硬化剤はナイロン構造から誘導されるポリアミド硬 化剤である。好ましいエポキシ樹脂及び硬化剤は7重量部のエポキシ及び5重量 部の硬化剤の割合で存在するが、この割合は選択したエポキシ及び硬化剤によっ て変り得る。ポリアミド硬化剤の使用は重要である。約125°Fのガラス転移 温度をエポキシ樹脂及び硬化剤の混合物に与えるからである。混合物は1.25 °Fから少なくとも一50°Fの範囲で柔軟性であるので、膵液着剤要素lOの 製造及び保存の開渠軟性を保持する。この混合物が接着剤層で硬化する場合1粒 子ガス放出と呼ぶ望ましくない粒子を製造しない、生成膜接着剤層は硬化後強固 であり、構造18に典型的に存在するもののような金属表面に良く接着する、構 造18の表面の特別の浸透は通常の洗浄操作を越えて必要ではない。結合を促進 するのにワイヤブラッシングが有効であることが判った。接着剤層の厚みは説明 する製造方法によって変わることができるが。A satisfactory epoxy resin is bisphenol-A type 828 Epon epoxy. It is. Such epoxy resins are manufactured by 3M as type EC2216 epoxy resins. Available from the company. Preferred hardeners are polyamide hardeners derived from nylon structures. It is a chemical agent. Preferred epoxy resins and hardeners include 7 parts by weight of epoxy and 5 parts by weight of epoxy. of hardener, but this ratio depends on the epoxy and hardener selected. It can change. The use of polyamide hardeners is important. Glass transition at about 125°F This is because temperature is imparted to the epoxy resin and curing agent mixture.
