In order to make the above purposes, features and advantages of the present disclosure more apparent and understandable, the present disclosure will be described in further detail below with reference to the drawings and the particular embodiments.
The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a needling device, which may be used for processing a preform body, wherein the preform body may be a carbon/carbon composite-material preform body. In the field of processing of graphite products, the preform body may be a graphite preform body. In the technical field of photovoltaics, the preform body may be a crucible-side preform body, a heat-shield preform body, a thermal-insulation-quilt preform body, a heating-body preform body and a preform body of a related thermal-field component. In the technical field of aviation, the preform body may be a heat shielding component, a braking component, a blade component, a turbine component, and so on, of an aircraft. The embodiments of the present disclosure merely describe by taking the case as an example in which the preform body is a graphite preform body, and other types of preform bodies may refer thereto.
Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 1 shows a schematic structural diagram of a preform body according to the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1 , the preform body 100 includes a revolution surface 11, a top face 13 perpendicular to the revolution surface 11, and a circular-arc surface 12 connecting the revolution surface 11 and the top face 13. The preform body 100 is formed by weaving multiple layers of carbon-fiber cloth. In the weaving process, it is required to wrap the carbon-fiber cloth onto the preform body 100 layer by layer, and every time one layer of the carbon-fiber cloth has been wrapped, it is required to perform one round of needling to the revolution surface 11, the top face 13 and the circular-arc surface 12 of the preform body 100, to cause the preform body 100 to be compact.
Referring to FIG. 2 , FIG. 2 shows a first schematic structural diagram of the operating state of a needling device according to the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2 , the needling device according to the embodiments of the present disclosure may particularly include: a needling assembly 200, a support 300, a base 400 and a bearing frame 500. The base 400 may be provided inside the bearing frame 500, and the base 400 may be for bearing the preform body 100. The support 300 may be connected to the bearing frame 500, and is opposite to the base 400 and the preform body 100. The needling assembly 200 may be slidably connected to the support 300, and may slide along a guide rail 31, to perform a needling operation to the preform body 100.
In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the needling assembly 200 is slidably connected to the support 300, whereby the position of the needling assembly 200 on the support 300 can be regulated. The base 400 is provided inside the bearing frame 500, and the base 400 is used for bearing the preform body 100, whereby the position at which the preform body 100 and the needling assembly 200 are opposite to each other may be regulated, to in turn regulate the operating region of the needling operation by the needling assembly 200 to the preform body 100. Accordingly, the needling assembly 200 may perform an all-around needling operation to the circular-arc surface 12 of the preform body 100, and depth and density of the needling are even, which may prevent deformation and layering of the preform body 100 during the deposition, to improve the processing quality of the preform body 100. Additionally, the needling assembly 200 may automatically perform the needling operation, at a high speed and with a high processing efficiency.
Optionally, the support 300 may be provided with the guide rail 31, and the guide rail 31 may include at least one circular-arc section. In practical applications, the at least one circular-arc section of the guide rail 31 may correspond to the circular-arc surface 12 of the preform body 100, so that, during the process of the sliding of the needling assembly 200 at the circular-arc section of the guide rail 31, the distance from the needling assembly 200 to the circular-arc surface 12 of the preform body 100 may maintain constant. Accordingly, when the needling assembly 200 is performing the needling operation to the circular-arc surface 12 of the preform body 100, the evenness of the needling by the needling assembly 200 to the circular-arc surface 12 of the preform body 100 may be increased.
Particularly, the guide rail 31 may match with the shape of the top face 13 of the preform body 100, so that the depth and the density of the needling by the needling assembly 200 to the top face 13 of the preform body 100 are even.
In practical applications, the position of the needling assembly 200 on the guide rail 31 may be manually regulated, or the needling device may be provided with a button, to automatically regulate the position of the needling assembly 200 on the guide rail 31 by pressing the button.
Referring to FIG. 3 , FIG. 3 shows a schematic structural diagram of a needling assembly according to the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 3 , the needling assembly 200 may include: a driving assembly 2, a needling head 24 and a piercing needle 25. The piercing needle 25 may be connected to the needling head 24, the needling head 24 may be connected to the driving assembly 2, and the needling head 24 may be slidably connected to the guide rail 31 on the support 300. The driving assembly 2 may include a first driving mechanism 21, the first driving mechanism 21 may be connected to the needling head 24, and the first driving mechanism 21 may be used for driving the needling head 24 to drive the piercing needle 25 to needle the preform body 100.
Particularly, when the needling assembly 200 is used for performing the needling operation to the preform body 100, the first driving mechanism 21 may drive the needling head 24 to move, so that the piercing needle 25 may perform the needling operation to the preform body 100 at a constant speed, whereby the depth and the density of the piercing by the piercing needle 25 into the preform body 100 are even. That may prevent deformation and layering of the preform body 100 during the deposition due to an uneven needling density.
In practical applications, the first driving mechanism 21 may include a first electric motor 211 and a reciprocating mechanism 212, and the reciprocating mechanism 212 may include a cam and a connecting rod. Particularly, the first electric motor 211 may be connected to the cam, the first electric motor 211 may be used for driving the cam to move, the cam may be connected to the connecting rod, the cam is used for driving the connecting rod to move back and forth, and the connecting rod is connected to the needling head 24, whereby the needling head 24 may needle the preform body 100.
Optionally, the needling head 24 may be provided with an elastic member, and the piercing needle 25 may be connected to the needling head 24 by the elastic member. Because the elastic member may be used for regulating the force of the piercing needle 25, the depth of the needling by the piercing needle 25 to the preform body 100 is even. Particularly, the elastic member may be an adjustable spring.
Optionally, the driving assembly 2 may further include a second driving mechanism 22, and the second driving mechanism 22 may be slidably connected to the guide rail 31 on the support 300. The second driving mechanism 22 may be used for driving the needling head 24 to slide along the guide rail 31. In practical applications, the second driving mechanism 22 may drive the needling head 24 to slide along the guide rail 31. Accordingly, when the needling assembly 200 is needling the circular-arc surface 12 of the preform body 100, the position at which the needling head 24 aligns with the circular-arc surface 12 of the preform body 100 can be regulated, whereby the piercing needle 25 can perform an all-around needling operation to the circular-arc surface 12.
Optionally, the guide rail 31 may be provided with a rack 311. The second driving mechanism 22 may include an electric motor and a gear 222, the electric motor may be rotatably connected to the gear 222, the gear 222 may be engaged with the rack 311, and the electric motor may be used for driving the gear 222 to move along the rack 311. Particularly, the electric motor is a second electric motor 221 in FIG. 3 . Because the gear 222 is engaged with the rack 311, the gear 222 may move along the rack 311, whereby the needling head 24 can slide along the guide rail 31, which improves the stability of the slidable connection between the needling head 24 and the guide rail 31.
Optionally, the needling head 24 may further be provided with a clamping mechanism 23.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the one or more groups of clamping wheels 231 that are opposite to each other may clamp the guide rail 31, whereby, during the sliding of the needling head 24 along the guide rail 31, the needling head 24 slides while adhering to the guide rail 31, which may prevent falling of the needling head 24 from the guide rail 31, which affects the quality of the needling by the needling head 24 to the preform body 100.
Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , the gear 222 may be used as the clamping wheels 231. Particularly, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , the clamping mechanism 23 may be provided with two groups of the clamping wheels 231, each of the groups of the clamping wheels 231 may include two clamping wheels 231 and two gears 222, and the clamping wheels 231 and the gears 222 are opposite to each other. During the sliding of the needling head 24 along the guide rail 31, the clamping wheels 231 may cooperate with the gears 222 to clamp the guide rail 31, to provide the adhesive force of the needling head 24 on the guide rail 31, to prevent falling of the needling head 24 from the guide rail 31, which affects the quality of the needling by the needling head 24 to the preform body 100. Moreover, the engagement between the clamping wheels 231 and the gears 222 can drive the needling assembly 300 to move on the guide rail 31. The present disclosure provides a structure of the clamping mechanism 23 shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , which may particularly refer to the configurations of FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , and is not particularly limited in the present disclosure.

In practical applications, when the needling assembly 200 is performing the needling operation to the circular-arc surface 12 of the preform body 100, the needling assembly 200 performs the reciprocating movement to perform the needling operation to the preform body 100. The rotating mechanism 42 may drive the installation column 41 to rotate, so as to drive the preform body 100 to rotate around the axis of the preform body 100, whereby the needling assembly 200 can needle various areas of the circular-arc surface 12, to more completely needle the circular-arc surface 12.
Particularly, the rotating mechanism 42 may include a rotating member 422 and a third electric motor 421.

The rotating member 422 may be connected to the installation column 41, and is used for driving the installation column 41 to rotate.
Optionally, the base 400 may further be provided with an elevating mechanism 43 and a moving mechanism 44. The elevating mechanism 43 and the moving mechanism 44 may be connected to the installation column 41, the elevating mechanism 43 may be used for driving the preform body 100 to move in the vertical direction, and the moving mechanism 44 may be used for driving the preform body 100 to move in the horizontal direction.
In practical applications, the base 400 is provided with the elevating mechanism 43 and the moving mechanism 44. When the preform body 100 has been mounted to the base 400, the distance between the preform body 100 and the needling assembly 200 in the vertical direction may be regulated by using the elevating mechanism 43, and the distance between the preform body 100 and the needling assembly 200 in the horizontal direction may be regulated by using the moving mechanism 44. By the cooperation between the elevating mechanism 43 and the moving mechanism 44, the regulation on the distance between the preform body 100 and the needling assembly 200 is realized, whereby the needling assembly 200 can needle preform bodies 100 of different sizes, to improve the practical applicability of the needling assembly 200.
Particularly, the elevating mechanism 43 may include an elevating assembly 432 and a fourth electric motor 431. The fourth electric motor 431 may be connected to the elevating assembly 432, and is used for driving the elevating assembly 432 to move in the vertical direction. The elevating assembly 432 may be connected to the installation column 41, and is used for driving the installation column 41 to move in the vertical direction, thereby driving the preform body 100 to move in the vertical direction. The elevating assembly 432 may be formed by 4 groups of turbines and worms of the same model, and the 4 groups of turbines and worms operate synchronously, to drive the preform body 100 to ascend and descend stably.

In practical applications, the support 300 may slide along the bearing frame 500, the bearing frame 500 is provided with the sliding rail, and the support 300 is correspondingly provided with the sliding block. By the sliding fitting between the sliding block and the sliding rail, the stability of the sliding fitting between the support 300 and the bearing frame 500 can be increased.
Furthermore, because the position at which the needling assembly 200 corresponds to the preform body 100 can be regulated, when the preform body 100 is being detached, the support 300 may be slid to a position on the bearing frame 500 that is away from the preform body 100, to prevent interference between the support 300 and the preform body 100.

The moving mechanism 44 may drive the preform body 100 to move in the horizontal direction in the Y-axis direction, whereby the distance between the needling assembly 200 and the preform body 100 in the Y-axis direction can be regulated. The elevating mechanism 43 may drive the preform body 100 to move in the vertical direction in the Z-axis direction, whereby the distance between the needling assembly 200 and the preform body 100 in the Z-axis direction can be regulated. Because the X-axis, the Y-axis and Z-axis are perpendicular to each other, the distance between the needling assembly 200 and the preform body 100 can be flexibly regulated.
Referring to FIG. 5 , FIG. 5 shows a schematic structural diagram of a support according to the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5 , the support 300 may include a frame body 32 and a detaching end 33. The guide rail 31 may be provided on the frame body 32.

Referring to FIG. 6 , FIG. 6 shows a second schematic structural diagram of the operating state of a needling device according to the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 6 , both of the frame body 32 and the detaching end 33 are slidably connected to the bearing frame 500. In practical applications, when the needling assembly 200 has been mounted to the support 300, the position of the needling assembly 200 can be regulated by sliding the frame body 32 and the detaching end 33 along the bearing frame 500.
