Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a carbon fiber-reinforced plastic pressure-molding apparatus and a press-molding method, and more particularly, to a carbon fiber- To suppress the generation of air bubbles and to manufacture a high-quality product in a short time. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Fiber reinforced plastics (FRP), especially carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP), are generally used in various industrial fields as lightweight composite materials having high mechanical properties. In recent years, carbon fiber reinforced plastics having very high strength and light weight have been developed and distributed in accordance with the trend of replacing the material of the vehicle body with the fiber-reinforced plastic material in order to increase the fuel efficiency of the automobile while maintaining the stability. As the demand gradually increases, it becomes necessary to develop devices and processes capable of mass production and efficient production of precise three-dimensional sheet-like products.
Conventionally, a HAND LAY UP method has been used to produce such a carbon fiber-reinforced plastic. This method involves placing a dry chopped strand mat on a half mold of the outer shape of the product, And then the resin is impregnated into the strand mat by using a roller, and the resin is hardened and molded. Such a hand layup process is a manual process, which involves quality problems such as durability and surface defects of the product, and causes a problem of increasing the cost of parts due to difficulty in mass production. Further, since the quality of the product depends on the skill level of the operator, it is difficult to obtain uniform quality and there is a limit in the production amount.
In order to solve these problems, Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) method is widely used to produce carbon fiber-reinforced plastic in recent years. In the resin transfer molding method, After placing the preformed article made of reinforcing fiber made of reinforced fiber composed of a fibrous fabric laminated base material or the like, the upper and lower molds are closed, the inside of the mold is depressurized, a liquid resin is injected using a resin injector or the like, A method for manufacturing a fiber-reinforced plastic.
However, the carbon fiber-reinforced plastic product manufactured by the resin transfer molding method has a problem in that it has a high resin content and thus has a low strength, and bubbles are generated in the manufacturing process, making it difficult to produce a high quality product.
On the other hand, another method of producing a carbon fiber-reinforced plastic is a method using a prepreg. The prepreg is a sheet-like intermediate material impregnated with various reinforcing fibers in advance, such as epoxy resin or polyester resin. Among the methods using such a prepreg, an autoclave molding method is typical. The prepreg is laminated in a mold with a plurality of plies, and then put into an autoclave device to package the surface of the product with a blank space, The gas pressure is applied from the outside and the vacuum state is maintained by the external vacuum pump in the inside to remove the volatile components generated in the resin impregnated into the prepreg so as to remove the gap between each layer of the prepreg, So that it can be used as a molding method.
However, such a molding method using a prepreg and an autoclave requires a very long time for the prepreg to harden in the autoclave, which is not suitable for mass production of the product, and since the autoclave device is very expensive, There was a problem that it rose.
A problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a molding apparatus for producing a carbon fiber-reinforced plastic by a resin transfer molding method and a device for supplying a resin and a device for maintaining a vacuum in the mold, Which is capable of securing a very high strength by lowering the content of the resin contained in the final product and providing a high quality product in a short time, .
Another problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method of manufacturing a carbon fiber reinforced plastic by a resin transfer molding method in which a resin is sufficiently impregnated in a preform of a carbon fiber material while maintaining the inside of the mold in a vacuum state, A carbon fiber reinforced plastic which can manufacture a high-strength product with a low resin content in a short time by suppressing the external pressure to a predetermined pressure while maintaining the vacuum state, And to provide a press molding method.

At this time, the first mold includes a space portion formed in the inside of the first mold, the top surface of which is opened, and an opening formed in the space portion to prevent air from flowing to the inside and the outside of the first mold And a gas-tight cover.
On the other hand, the first metal mold includes a second metal mold including a space portion formed in the interior of the first metal mold and having an opened upper surface, the second metal mold being engaged with the space portion of the first metal mold, And a press to apply pressure to the second mold so that the second mold remains in an airtight state.
In addition, the pressurizing device continuously supplies compressed air of 6 to 10 atm into the airtight space of the first mold.
In order to solve the above-mentioned other problems, a carbon fiber-
